《The hopeless student in another world》Chapter 5

39th floor - 7th day of the expedition
While walking to the next floor, the commander who was beside a wary Haruna-sensei, spoke.
"Excuse me, Haruna-dono, but may I ask if something is bothering you?"(Commander)
"Uh, umm....... Well.... Should we be concerned about monsters in this floor?"(Haruna sensei)
"Hmmmm...... Let me reassure you that on this floor we don't have to be wary of incoming attacks. Monsters wont be appearing from this floor, at most we will encounter them after we're finished with this." (Commander)
Leaking a sigh of relief "I see, that's reassuring, thank you Commander." (Haruna sensei)
"You are welcome Haruna-dono. Ahh, before we get to the next floor, could I ask you a question about your students?" (Captain)
"Ask away! Although I've only been with them for more than half a year, I treat them as somewhat like relatives." (Haruna sensei)
(Captain)"Could you tell me about the natures of the students in this group? Like in how they were at your homeworld?"
"it will take quite while but if your willing to listen I will gladly tell you"(Haruna sensei)
-------------
Haruna sensei talked about each of them.
The conent of the talk in summary was,
Eri Inuzuka was a charismatic and active girl who did Japanese style archery. Many female fans and quite a few confessions from the same gender.
Rei Yuki was a girl who shied from other people except for her best friend.
Kari Kanji was a cool girl. Everyone in class enjoyed her melodies.
Shiroe Ono was the class mascot. Also the class representative.
Touka Kita was energetic. A member and captain of the fencing club not the kendo club. (Gets confusing as sometimes its referred to as just fencing in Japan)
Kenshin Hashimoto was intelligent and seemed to be 'close' with 'the royals'.

She saw that the royals seemed to 'interact' with Kenshin a lot.
"I see, their classes were automatically given to them due to their nature to some degree. " (Commander)
"Is that so?" (Haruna sensei)
"Well I don't know about the non-hero boy,Kenshin Hashimoto's, case. It seemed he gained his class manually. As in learnt it like everyone else. But I still don't know why he chose to learn that class as it was a non-fighting one"(Captain)
"Oh Ken-kun was not really good at sports back in our world."(Haruna sensei)
"........ I see......."(Captain)
-----------------------
40th floor
Getting consent from Haruna sensei the Captain decided to leave all decisions to the students and all the adults would watch. If need be, they would come to their aid.
"Ummmm. So, who are we going to appoint leader?" (Kari)
"It will be best if we chose someone who has got experience in leading."(Kenshin)
Everyone nodded to his opinion.
" I vouch for Touka! She's the captain of the fencing club!" (Eri)
Everyone consented.
"All right, Touka your appointed leader. Tell us what to do."(Shiroe)
"Sure.... I've seen your stats but I've only got a vague idea of your professions so it would be best if you tell me about it again, also include your skills and what your most proficient at so I will know where to place you."(Touka)
"I'll begin! My favourite skill is the 'scatter shot' It uses one arrow and when its shot it turns into seven energy beam like arrows, so it's like area of effect attack. I have a skill that makes it so all of the beam like arrows head to to one target.(Eri)
The next to say what they were best at was Rei, the shy girl.
As she was shy, she only whispered to her friend Eri.

"Rei's favourite skill is 'zero presence'. It messes with a targets vision and smell so that it wouldn't see her! Cool right?!" (Eri)
"Mines a crowd control type spell.It confuses a group by making false sounds that they would think came from enemies. Basically, if you were a target, you would hear things like roars or growls from besides you making you think the enemies near you."(Kari)
"The skill I'm most skilled at is 'Over load' a debuff on the enemy. It makes them twice as heavy. So you can say its the opposite of Ami's skill that buffs an ally to become as light as a feather. My limit is two targets and its mana cost depends on the target."(Shiroe)
"Mines just crafting skills so I can only attack with physical attacks. I've learnt from various crafter's from the city, so I'll be able to mend your gear."(Kenshin)
"Right.... I will go next, mine is 'Frequency slash'. It heats up my sword until it glows hot like when metal comes out from a forge, and it allows me to slice up anything like butter." (Touka)
After that, their roles was:
"I will be at the front, Eri you will be mid-guard for support fire. Please shoot monsters who are range types. Kari and Shiroe use your support skills to buff us and debuff them. Rei you will be between mid-guard and front to cover my back. Ken-kun will be at the back guarding us. Everyone, is that okay? It is? Good."(Touka)
----
The group worked their way through the next 9 floors.
Monsters they fought were slimes that were easy to kill with fire from 'blaze' that everyone was taught.
A horde of about 50 vulture like creatures that had paralysis poison on their claws. Their beaks were 1 meter long so you can imagine how big they were. They were shot down by Eri and grounded with 'overload' by Shiroe.
There were hordes of high ranking monsters on every floor but they advanced without serious injury.
Kenshin did as he was told, guarding their rear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the way to the 50th floor
Its ceiling was around 100 meters tall.
The floor was covered in green grass, trees and rivers.
There was a dense gathering of trees here and there.
The group walked through a path that in the midde of the floor that lead to the 50th floor.
"Kenshin! Could I have a stamina pot-"(Touka)
'Vururururururur!' (rumbling)
In an area that was deep in the dense group of tree's 70 meter's in front of them, a group of 10 people were in front, running, wide eyed towards the group.
From their clothes, they were adventurers.
One of them were yelling.
"Shit! Shit we shouldnt have done that!"
What appeared out of the dense forest was a giant 35 meter Treant.
Vines three metres thick stretched out at all directions.
They reached out to about 20 meters and slammed down on the groups of trees that made a small.
'GOBAAAAAAAAA!'
The tress were broken by the power of the giant vines. Smoke covered the area for a while. When it cleared, the giant vines were laid around the floor.
There were giant blue flowers with its petals closed, glowing like fluorescent lights.
On the top of the treant, a giant lotus flower covered a humanoid figure, laid down on a bedding of something like a cotton.
Then after that, the giant flowers opened and out came swarms of 1 meter tall Wasp.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
