Part 4

The situation became tense when Rikuto and his cronies approached us.

“You can’t say anything back, can you? If the divination is true and someone from the past is the savior, at least it’s certain that he’s not incompetent.”

Rikuto speaks with a smug look on his face as if he’s making fun of me.

In reality, however, I didn’t have any superpowers, so I couldn’t say anything back to him.

Then Rikuto turns to Akane.

“Hey, Akane. Come and join my team instead of that guy’s. That guy is a scumbag who brings in incompetent people just to show off. Besides, with you on our team, we can kill more of those mechanical knights than ever before, so it’s not so bad, right?”

“I’d rather die than join your team. Your team’s death rate is crazy high to begin with.”

“That’s because we’re the ones who go into dangerous places. Besides, the reason they die is because they’re weak. The weak ones who can’t adapt to this environment should be weeded out.”

“I don’t agree with any of your ideas. And you say that the area your team is exploring is dangerous? We’re in charge of the Special Danger Zone, just the two of us. You’re all in a group, and you’re barely in the first-class front line. At least explore the Special Danger Zone before you say anything.”

“What did you say?”

Rikuto’s face turned red at Akane’s words.

But he calms down quickly and smiles menacingly.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Kazuya and that incompetent will die soon. When that happens, you’ll have no choice but to join our team.”

“I hope your delusions will never come true.”

“Hah… you always talk back… but more importantly, why are you bringing an incompetent here? This is a training ground for us Awakened; there’s no place we can lend to an Incompetent.”

Then Rikuto’s anger turned from Akane san to me.

But Marin-san replied immediately.

“No, this place is a place that anyone who fights against the mechanical knights can use. It doesn’t matter if they are awakened or not.”

“What’s the point of testing someone who is a complete failure anyway? He’s going to die soon anyway, right?”

“Even if that’s the case, it’s not for you to decide. More importantly, his test hasn’t finished yet.”

“Huh?”

Rikuto looks confused at Marin-san’s words.

“What do you mean? He didn’t have any superpowers, right? What else is there to test?”

“Of course, we’re not investigating his superpowers. We’re studying his physical abilities.”

“Physical abilities?”

Akane san, who has no idea what my test results are, tilts her head in surprise.

“That’s right. Although he, Yuuya-san, certainly doesn’t manifest any superpowers, his physical abilities are so high that they can’t be measured by machines. In other words, there is a possibility that his physical abilities exceed superpowers.”

“Huh? Physical abilities beyond superpowers? He was just too weak to be measured. After all, he’s a fossil human from a thousand years ago. In comparison, we are a new race of humans who have evolved from the basic capabilities of our bodies and also possess superpowers. There’s no way he can beat us, right?”

“That is true. It’s not only that the physical ability is too high to be measured, but it’s also that it’s too low. However, we won’t know anything until we try.”

“There’s no need to try, it’s a

Rikuto, who had almost said this, suddenly had an idea and broke into an evil grin.

“…No, if you say that this guy needs to be tested so much… then I’ll test him.”

“Huh?”

“That’s no good! This is an examination, you know!”

While Kazuya is surprised by the unexpected words and immediately objects, Rikuto continues.

“Even if you say it’s an examination, what we need is the ability to fight the mechanical knights. No matter how good the results of the exam are, if he can’t fight, it’s meaningless. On the other hand, if he can fight me, it means that he can fight the mechanical knights as well. Isn’t that a reasonable suggestion?”

“Yes, but you would want to refuse at all costs, wouldn’t you? After all, you’d have to watch your ancestor get beaten up!”

Rikuto said, and then he and his cronies burst into laughter.

Watching this, Kazuya was frustrated and fell silent.

“Well, what are you going to do? If you don’t want to accept the match, you can just refuse, you know?”

“Yuuya-san, it’s okay, so please ignore him.”

“That’s right. Rikuto has a point, but I just want to measure your physical abilities. It doesn’t have to be a fight.”

Kazuya and Marin-san say this, worried about me.

“There’s no need to go along with Rikuto. If you don’t have superpowers, you’ll only get hurt if you fight.”

And Akane san tells me that, too.

But…

“──It’

“Yuuya-san!?”

Kazuya let out a cry when he saw that I agreed.

I don’t mind being made fun of.

But I couldn’t allow Kazuya to be made fun of.

While Kazuya and the others were surprised by my reaction, Rikuto smiled.

“What’s wrong? Have you given up?”

“…..”

Rikuto snorted in annoyance at my lack of reaction.

“Hah… I’ll make you regret this cheeky attitude.”

Then Kazuya rushes over to me in a panic.

“Yu-Yuuya-san! Let’s stop this! He’s a first-class Awakened, you know!”

“Well, I don’t really know what a first-class awakened person is, but… it’s okay.”

“I-it’s okay, you say…”

“Are you sure?”

Marin-san also looked at me with concern, but I nodded silently.

Of course, the main reason was that I was being made fun of, but I also wanted to experience the battles of the people of this era with my own body.

Besides, even though I don’t have any superpowers, I should clearly show that I have the power to fight, such as magic and spiritual power.

Thus, when the mock battle with Rikuto was suddenly decided, we went to the sandy battleground prepared in the middle of the training ground.

The awakened ones who had been training up to that point also gathered to watch our mock battle.

“What’s going on?”

“It looks like the savior Kazuya brought with him this time is going to fight Rikuto, right?”

“Huh, so we can see what kind of power the savior has!”

“Don’t you know? That savior is a powerless person.”

“What? Seriously? T-the savior is a powerless person…?”

“I don’t know. Rikuto said he was an imposter, too.”

“Well, that’s true. He’s a powerless person, and he’s from a thousand years ago, right? There’s no way he can beat Rikuto, a first-class awakened person.”

“Oh man, I was really hoping that the savior would come, but now that the lid has been lifted… it looks like our world is finished, too.”

…As I thought, it seems that no one believes that I can win. There’s nothing I can do about it.

This was the first time I’d ever fought someone who used their superpower directly, so I had no idea what would happen.

Nevertheless, Kazuya has asked for my help.

In order to live up to his expectations, I have to show that I can fight a little here.

While I reaffirm my determination in front of the audience, Akane-san opens her mouth in a dazed manner.

“Hah… you don’t have any superpowers, do you? If you’re imagining a fight from your time, get out of the match now. You might die if you’re not careful.”

“Yeah, I guess so. But it’ll be okay. I’ll show you that I can fight, too.”

“Well, whatever happens, as long as Kazuya brought you here, we’ll take care of you. So don’t worry too much about winning or losing.”

Akane san said this and joined the spectators, just like the other awakened ones.

Then, Rikuto appeared on the other side.

“Tch, you should just keep quiet and stay out of it… I’m going to teach you a lesson.”

“…..”

“Tch… you’re so annoying…”

When Rikuto said this, and I didn’t react, he clicked his tongue in irritation.

In the middle of this, Kazuya looked at me from the audience with a worried expression.

“Yuuya-san, why… can’t you stop it, Marin-san?”

“Yuuya-san himself said he would participate, and everyone else wants to see the two of them fight. It’s probably too late to stop it now…”

“No way…”

“But it’s too early to give up. Yuuya-san’s physical ability was impossible to measure. If it was impossible to measure because his physical ability was too high, then there is still hope. But…”

“…There’s also the possibility that his physical ability was too low to be measured, right?”

“…That’s right. To be honest, that possibility is higher. After all, the physical capabilities of people today are more than double what they were a thousand years ago. This is not only because technology has developed but also because we have evolved to win the survival competition with the mechanical knights. It would be difficult for humans from the past, when there was peace, to win against us who have evolved.”

Looking at me and Rikuto facing each other, Marin-san calmly came to this conclusion.

And finally, the mock battle between me and Rikuto begins…!

“Well then… I guess I’ll make you leave quickly!”

Rikuto shouted, and then he ran straight at me.

His speed was truly superhuman, and if he had been born in my time, he would undoubtedly have become an unbeatable athlete.

What’s more, Rikuto hadn’t even activated his superpower yet.

…So this is the physical ability of people in this era. It’s certainly amazing…

Rikuto stepped forward in front of me with all his might, clenching his fists at the same time.

The next moment, a red bolt of lightning ran through Rikuto’s body.

“Now, blow away!”

Rikuto’s fist, now surrounded by lightning, immediately accelerated and was released towards me.

And with just the pressure of his fist, the air exploded, the ground of the training ground shattered, and a cloud of dust rose.

“Yuuya-san!”

I could hear Kazuya’s cry.

In response, most of the spectators sneered.

“Wow! As expected from Rikuto’s Red Thunder’s Superhuman Strength!”

“He’s merciless against the savior!”

“Still, it was only one hit.”

“Well, we should praise him for challenging Rikuto, a first-class awakened person, even if he’s a powerless person. It was reckless, though!”

“Anyway, the old humans can’t possibly win against us new humans.”

Everyone was convinced that Rikuto would win and thought that the battle was over.

But…

“Wha… W-what the hell is going on…!”

I had just taken Rikuto’s fist head-on.
