Factoria, whose eyes narrowed in a crescent moon shape at my insistence, responded with a nasal sound.
âHmm~ Did you want to go to Earth with me?â
ââŠWhat?â
The nuance of her words was strangely unpleasant. Itâs like when you walk side by side with a student when you go home after school. There is only one road, so thereâs no choice. Imagine that there is only one express bus going down to your hometown every day, and your classmate is flattered about going home with you.
Itâs annoying.
âFufu! You canât be honest.â
ââŠâ
Factoriaâs spine beckoned me, but I endured with superhuman patience. It was easy for me to take the anklet from her. But the problem was that there was no one else to give it to. This was a handmade product, not a mass-manufactured product. It required delicate processing with Black Box that gathered together with my unique abilities. In other words, it was a waste to give it to a stranger.
âOkay. I wanted to be strong enough to not be defeated by aliens through the secondary education curriculum, but I changed my mind after seeing the lifesaver Kang Han-soo. Letâs go back to Earth together. FufufuâȘâ
ââŠYeah.â
People had to be patient. Letâs think about it after we get back to Earth safely. Until then, I decided to leave Factoria alone with whatever misunderstanding she had. After all, my purpose wasnât to have a scuffle with her. The first was the Earth. The second was the Earth.
The Hero Festival was held once every four years. If you stayed only on the Fantasy Continent like me, it would be held every forty years. In the past, the festival was quite free. If you die on the way or shout âI give up!â, you could return to Earth. But now?
âThis is a retest disguised as a festival. Itâs the same as a driverâs license. Itâs not a one-time win; itâs a periodic check to see if youâre qualified.â
âI know.â
This wait for the festival was twenty years, but the actual festival lasted for only two. The 1st and 2nd place went to the secondary education center, and the 3rd through 5th places could return to Earth early.
And what about the rest? Those who didnât make it into the top five would live on this Festival Continent for twenty years while receiving blatant discrimination based on their grade. In other words, itâs a terrible festival.
âKang Han-soo, prejudice isnât good. Some friends give up the ranking early and enjoy it.â
âI donât know about it yet.â
This festival wasnât a short, enjoyable trip. No matter how good an amusement park was, itâs only entertaining for a few days. If you stay there, you will become sick of it. What about for twenty years? Reflecting on my first experience, I would be crazy in ten. In that sense, even the 1st and 2nd place couldnât do anything.
âItâs because you donât know. Some people are physically fit for the Fantasy World.â
ââŠThey just donât know yet.â
This place would never be as beautiful as in fantasy novels or cartoons. The limbs were lopped off, and the intestines protruded. Was it good living for the strong? Unfortunately, in this world, there were stronger people on top of the strong. It was different from the rich on top of the rich.
You couldnât get help from the country (law) here.
âEarth is the sameâŠ.â
âWhat?â
âIt was the same everywhere in the world. More than that, arenât you hungry? Iâll buy it outside if I can, but the food level in this dormitory is better than it is in 5-star hotels and restaurants.â
âBut Iâm a man?â
And this was a womenâs dormitory. Factoria grabbed my hand and dragged me as if to run away from the bloody scene.
â30% are already men, so what?â
Handsome servants in black suits looking like celebrities, actors, and singers started cleaning the hallway on the third floor. There werenât only humans, with there being a very high percentage of elves among the servants. It was unimaginable even in the closed Elf Kingdom of the Fantasy Continent.
But it didnât make sense to me.
âThose women just now. Didnât they hate men?â
A filthy male is cleaning my room! Change him into a maid right now! I guess they would have to argue like thisâŠ
âThe servants who work here are an exception.â

âHmmâŠ.â
Had the culture of the Earth changed in the five years without me? Or was this dormitory, where only social misfits gathered, strange? Factoria shook her head.
âDonât think too hard about it. Itâll just hurt your head.â
I received attention wherever I went. Because Iâm a man? No.
âLook over there. Itâs the S-class!â
âOh my! Was the rumor true?â
âS-Class, I envy himâŠâ
Itâs because of the name tag that sparkled in rainbow colors. Factoriaâs golden name tag was also uncommon, but this rainbow-colored name tag was the only one of its kind on the continent. Rank and grade werenât proportional. If the ranking was based on festival scores, the grade was measured by pure ability. However, people with good abilities were also ranked higher.
In the end, proportionality was the established theory of the festival academia.
âWait! His abilities arenât that goodâŠ?â
âYeah. He doesnât have any Grade Z skills.â
âIs there anyone at the Transcendental Realm within A-Class?â
âIsnât that only on the outside?â
The heroes gathered in the womenâs dormitory communal cafeteria chatted over their meals while looking at my abilities. The envious voices of those doubting my abilities grew louder, but it was only for a moment.
Wasnât it commonly said that bad news travels fast?
âI heard he killed ten people on the third floor of the dormitory a while ago.â
âOh, my GodâŠin one blow? Is that possible?â
âYou know whatâs even more surprising? The Queen was among them! The Queen, who had just been resurrected, is said to have been downgraded to B-Class.
And another point of rank and grade. If you donât commit illegal acts, your score and ranking wonât change even if you fail a mission or die, but your grade would drop. One step at a time. There were no exceptions.
âThere must be a fuss about it. Two people share the B-Class dorms, and the quality of the servants in charge of the room is also slightly reduced.â
âI feel sorry for the girl who shares a room with the QueenâŠ.â
âJust because weâre friends doesnât mean Iâd die with you!â
âŠThis righteous hero had already overheard everything.
Arenât they too worried? Itâs not like there are dictaphones here; it wasnât a big deal. They can simply deny it; itâs just gossip after all.
âFactoria. Who is the Queen?â
The Queen of England I remember was a grandmother. Did she rejuvenate as she crossed into the fantasy world? If it were true, there was no way to avoid accusations of attacking an old ladyâŠ
âItâs Catherine.â
âHow am I supposed to know who it is if you say that?â
âShe is the woman who called me a fox at the front of the crowd. The one that called you a maleâŠâ
âAh! Ugly B.â
Who did she think I was?
ââŠIt feels good to know how much you value me. WellâŠthis is a very personal question, who is Ugly A?â
âShe is in the eastern continent of Fantasy. A half-breed elf markswoman who despised a good hero by calling him a male.â

âNo wayâŠ? She was friends with me. She broke through the dark magic and delivered the final blow to the Demon King. But I didnât know there was such an issueâŠ.â
We grabbed a meal tray and got our food. Meat, vegetables, fish, fruitsâŠ
It was a very balanced diet. Of the people in line, of course, I was the only man. This made me feel like I came to an all-girlsâ school alone. But this feeling only lasted until the meal was served.
I wasnât the only man. It was thanks to the greasy-looking servants walking around the restaurant, pouring water, and cleaning up the leftovers. Some of them were captured by the heroes and became their conversation partners.
âI went into the mountain to gather herbs instead of the herbalists, and I was besieged by two trolls while avoiding their crude clubs like this! I threw fireballs at its ugly headâŠâ
âOh! Youâre amazing!â
âItâs still too early to admire me. I said there were two, right?â
âOops! This stupid servant forgot about that, Big Sis Erica.â
âŠThese conversations took place all over the cafeteria. It was a very strange sight, just like the social gatherings of the ladies I happened to see in the 1st playthrough.
âIsnât the menâs dorm similar?â
Factoria, who sat facing me, asked a question.
âItâs quiet there.â
I had only been there once when I was taking the tour so that I couldnât judge it, but the heroes there only glanced at the maids. I saw some people look like âI want to talk to that beautiful maid!â on their faces, but they kept their mouths shut as they looked around. Did it feel as if they were trying to keep each other in check?
âThatâs amazing.â
âIt must be weird. Fools who canât even talk to their maid. Tsk, tsk.â
âYou donât seem to be in a position to insult others.â
ââŠHmm?â
It wasnât Factoria.
âMaid A.â
âI am Elise. Your maid.â
âRight, Elise. What are you doing in the womenâs dormitory?â
She smiled as she always did, but the light in her eyes was fading. I could tell she was in a very bad mood.
âSince you skipped breakfast and went to the womenâs dormitory, I was curious about what you were doing. So, I followed you. Are you saying itâs better to eat a meal surrounded by women than the dishes Iâve cooked carefully?â
âNo way.â
The fair S-Class hero was curious about the meals of ordinary people below A-Class, so he paid them a one-time visit. Was that something to be pissed off about?
âAh, I understand. Inspection! IndeedâŠyou are right. A person standing above must be able to look down as well.â
Eliseâs expression brightened with a smile that contained her sincerity. She changed faster than I could turn over my palms.
âHey, Kang Han-soo. Does the S-Class eat separately in a private room?â
Factoria, who had been quietly listening to Elise, suddenly intervened. I answered casually.
âYeah. I also decide on the menu.â
ââŠThe discrimination is too much. I thought that A-Class having a private room would be the best in dormitory life. I never imagined that there would be a kitchen and a chef in the dorm, leaving the cafeteria out entirely.â
âCanât you see the fourth floor from the outside?â
âI canât see the inside because a curtain blocks it. You, an S-Class person, donât need to worry about it at all, right? You probably wonât know, but you canât go up to the fourth floor recklessly regardless of your gender.â
âI see!â
As Factoria said, it was a rule I didnât have to worry about at all.

âMale! How dare you touch meâŠâ
It was when I left the womenâs dormitory after finishing the shabby A-class meal. Ugly B was blocking the front door of the dormitory with her colleagues in no small number. There seemed to be around five hundred people. Factoria, who was following me after becoming curious about the inside of the S-Class dormitory, spoke.
âThe reason Catherine is called the Queen is that she is the head of the womenâs dormitory. Sheâs much better at agitation than fighting. So anyone who opposes her will be isolated.â
âLike you?â
âAs it is now, there are very few heroes who truly follow Catherine, but they follow her trend.â
âAgitation, huhâŠ.?â
I looked at Ugly Bâs ability.

Considering that the higher-level skill in the general area was blank, it seemed that she had just acquired the Transcendental Realm Skill. Was she an imitation of the goddess of the battlefield, charging forward? I was a little interested in the divine beast she possessed, but I was disappointed to see it was a unicorn.
There were so many good divine beasts globally, but all she had was the weakest unicornâŠ
âMale, last warning. Iâll forgive you if you get down on your knees and lick this Queenâs shoes now. You may have defeated me by surprise earlier, but that trick wonât work anymore.â
âOh myâŠâ
Had she looked at my abilities and decided I was weak? If there was one big mistake in the educational policy of all faculty staff, it was instilling a habit of evaluating others based on their abilities. I was no exception because it was convenient.
âHero. In this case, it is self-defense. There will be no negative effect on the score, and a win gives you a positive rating for your gradeâŠwell. Iâm not sure if it will be evaluated if your opponent is so clumsy~.â
Elise, the quick-witted maid, gave me the information I needed right away. I mean, thereâs nothing to fuss about, right? I freed the Black Box.
The power of despicable and cheap friendship wasnât strong enough to win by mistake. I would teach her true agitation.
âIf you are the Queen, then I am the Devil.â

However, this Demon King wouldnât harm a good hero. The visual was also far from evil. Beautiful angels on my left and right gave blessings, and a friend and a hero who was a real prince served as my escort. And even the Demon Kingâs nemesis, the Exorcist, stood nearby.
Who would think of me as a Demon King?!
