Its hardly unique in this either, as a bunch of works on Narou do the same thing.

hahaha, templates and templates~

Spoiler:

Continuing from before, Hajime in his uselessness as the weakest, continued his new daylife for 2 weeks. Hajime spends the recess between training at the Palace Library. He thought that he can cover lack of power with intelligence and information so he read the "Monster illustrated reference". Hajime checked again his status

===========================

His growth is 5 times from Hajime. Hajime himself understand he doesn't have magical aptitude. He explains about magic: magic is something that is done by doing 2 important things: magic circle and incantation, without these 2, magic cannot be executed. After that the process is attribute, power, range, extent, and absorption of Magic power. By the way, the longer the incantation the more the magic power will be consumed, the same could be said with how large the magic circle is, the bigger it is, the more complex it become. Additional process on more complex magic include: continuous or addition. This is the basic of magic, a process which is a must, the exception are with aptitude. Aptitude is, in another words, constitution pertaining how much the magic process could be omitted with: for example, if there is fire aptitude, then there is no need for the caster to do the process of filling the equation of magic with attribute (if he intend to do a fire magic), the caster just have to imagine a form of fire while chanting. Normally for people with aptitude, they could create a magic circle with diameter of 20cm.

And thus, with status impossible for direct combat, and having no aptitude for magic, Hajime couldn't be useful. All he can do is to alter, change and manufacture minerals. For these 2 months, Hajime is called by his classmates as "Incompetent". He sighed and thought of going to the half-human country. Half-human is a discriminated race, their territory is located in the eastern part of the continent which spreads to north and south throughout the Harziner forests at it's depths. The reason they are discriminated is because they don't have any magic power. Magic, could be said as a gift by the god. Therefore, Half-human who doesn't have magic power, is thought to be evil race not loved by god. How about Demon race then? they worship different god and they looks toward other races with hostility. Hajime then thought of going to the west in exchange, because he wants to see mermaid there. Elisen Maritime town is a city at the coast of the west sea, where the only half-human tribe there, the Fisher tribe, is formally protected by the kingdom. Reason? 8 of 9 of marine products that circulated on the northern part of continent are imported from this city. Hajime think its outrageous? where the magnificent reason for discrimination have gone? After the west sea, is the great desert Glühen, and in this area, is an important relay point located in oasis, the principality of Ancarge and also Mountain of Great Fire. This mountain, is one of the 8 great dungeons. Great dungeons are the most dangerous zone in this world, At the south west of Heilig kingdom located one of the great dungeon which is Orcus Great Dungeon. Harziner Forests is also one of the great dungeon. the other great dungeons are rumored to be at Reißen Great Canyon, and at the southern part, Schnee Snowfield. Hajime then thought again, desert is an impossible place for him, so he have to check on the Empire at the slaves dealer, but then again, he doesn't have confidence to do it. What he mean by Empire, is Herrscher Empire, is one of the rising country famous for it's large scale assault on the demon race 300 years ago. A prevalent military country, also known as the country of mercenary. Herrscher Empire is located at the east of Heilig, with Führen Neutral Commercial town located in-between. Hajime then give up of thinking about it, after all, what he does are just escaping the reality. He then realized he is almost late for the training, and leave right away to the training facility.

Over there, he took out a sword but suddenly a shock hit him from behind and he stumbles 1 and 2 steps. He looks back and 4 bully are standing there. These people are one of 2 big reason for Hajime depression during the training session. (the other half is his own incompetency). These 4 bullies forcefully invite Hajime to spar with them at pretext of helping him. Hajime refuses. Angry, Daisuke punch his side, Hajime falls down, his pace contorted in pain. Before long Hajime is brought to the corner of the training facility by 4 of them. He is surrounded from 4 side, first his back is slashed by the scabbard of the sword, then he is assaulted by fireball, and wind strike. Practice called as bullying continues for a while, Hajime didn't counterattack. He learn from his experience, that if you get bullied, then you just have to grit your teeth and hold it until they lost get bored, in other words, don't give them pleasure or expressions they wanted. Hajime keep enduring the pain, when suddenly an angry voice of a girl could be heard. Hearing that sound, the 4 bullies make a face if they are busted, because the girl is Kaori, whom they fall in love with. Behind her is Kouki, Shizuku and Ryuutarou. Daisuke make an excuse that they are helping with Hajime training, but Kaori ignores them and run toward Hajime. Kouki, Shizuku and Ryuutarou chided them, and the 4 bullies runs away. Hajime thanked Kaori for saving him. As if crying, Kaori shakes her head. With an angry expression, she looks toward the 4 bullies. Kaori is going to chase and punish them but Hajime stopped her in a hurry, and said it's not always like this and she doesn't have to mind it. Kaori doesn't seem to be satisfied but after seeing Hajime smile and saying it's okay, she reluctantly back down. Shizuku tell Hajime not to hesitate to ask them for help if something happened, that way Kaori would also understand. Hajime thanked her for the advice, but Kouki, said Hajime should put more effort. He can't just make excuse of being weak as the reason for not getting stronger. He heard Hajime has been indulging himself in the library and said that if its him, he would spend time on forging himself. He then tell Hajime to be more serious, and thought that Daisuke and his cronies must have been irritated at Hajime unseriousness. Hajime just look at him dumbfounded. He know that Kouki didn't mean anything bad with that words, it just his thought process is thinking that every human are fundamentally good person. But that's the problem...that's the big problem for Kouki. Hajime seriously thought of warning about his mindset but he already lost strength to just explain Kouki misunderstanding and it's useless to talk to him. Shizuku who understand that, cover her face with her hand and sighed. She then apologize to Hajime. Hajime just smiled and said it's alright. He then get up and said the training already begun.

After the training usually it would be free time until dinner but Meld make an importance announcement. Tomorrow they will start an expedition toward Orcus Great Dungeon to experience a real battle. Hajime thought, his prospect is really grim...
