The world had changed long before anyone realized it. Mystical forces reawakened, and with them, the truth humanity had once dismissed as myth.
"Unknown powers have resurfaced, revealing the existence of many races," the teacher lectured at the front of the classroom, chalk tapping rhythmically against the board. "Angels, demons, fallen angels, beastkin, vampires, spirits… even the nearly extinct elf tribes. Humans believed themselves alone, but the world was never that simple."
He drew a rough world map."Japan—now the Yamato Federation—unified the entire archipelago during the early waves of the spiritual revival. Shortly afterward, spatial distortions began appearing across the planet, flooding our world with creatures: aberrants, monsters, magical beasts… threats humans had no way to fight back against."
He paused, letting the chalk drop."This pressure gave birth to what we now call Awakened Professionals."
Izumi sat at his desk, fighting off sleep. Same lecture, same monotone voice, same "mankind was shocked to learn angels are real!" speech.
If the world is so dangerous, can't we at least get a more exciting teacher…?
Just as his head dipped, someone poked his arm.
A soft voice whispered beside him.
"Izumi-kun… you need to listen, okay? If the teacher calls your name again, you'll get scolded."
Izumi turned his head to see the bob-cut girl beside him—Megumi Kato, quiet, adorable, and possessing the presence of a mid-summer breeze.
He sighed."I know, I know. But he's explained this exact thing, like, ten times since the semester started. I think even the angels are tired of hearing it."
Megumi blinked."…That's… honestly true."
Just as she started to doubt her own sense of duty, the teacher suddenly snapped:
"Izumi! Pay attention! Don't think awakening a few abilities means you can slack off! Students like you always end up with grass two meters high on top of their graves!"
The entire class turned toward him.
Izumi's eyebrow twitched.Bro, who the hell talks to a student like that!?
He raised both hands in surrender."I am listening, sensei. Very passionately. Please continue and don't mind me."
The teacher narrowed his eyes, but eventually resumed the lecture, convinced he had won some moral battle.
Izumi let out a long, exhausted breath.
Despite being "just a teacher," the man was still a B-Rank Awakened, a level equivalent to a high-class demon. Strength rankings in this world were:
F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS
A structure borrowed straight from demon hierarchies:
F-Rank — Trainee Demon
E-Rank — Low-class Demon
D-Rank — Mid-class Demon
C-Rank — High-class Demon
B-Rank — Upper-class Demon
A-Rank — Demon Lord
S-Rank — Archdemon Lord
SS-Rank — Transcendent
SSS-Rank — Infinite Dragon God…?
He wasn't sure who came up with that last one.
His gaze drifted over the classroom:the white-haired loli sitting in front of him (definitely not human), the quiet Megumi beside him, and the golden twin-tails in the back row who embodied the word "tsundere rival."
This world… had way too many crossovers.
High School DxD–type devils existed.Mob Psycho–style espers existed.The hero association existed.The Lion King Agency existed.Across town, the famous Saihama High School—a school from a whole different series—existed.
What happened to a peaceful, everyday slice of life!?Why did I end up in a spiritual-revival isekai mashup world!?
Still, Izumi wasn't helpless.
He had his cheat—his "golden finger"—from the moment he reincarnated.Not a talking system. Not a guide.Just a silent, floating screen capable of Equivalent Exchange.
When he first tested it, he tossed two rusty swords into the light.It spat out several skill orbs, a Japanese ID card, a bank account, and a house.
Yep. Definitely the newbie starter package.
Thanks to that, he had avoided becoming an undocumented supernatural immigrant.
To enroll here, one needed to undergo the school's Awakening Ritual or have awakened beforehand.And Izumi, thanks to the system's starter gifts, barely passed the examination.
His status panel looked like this:
[Izumi]
Overall Strength: B- Rank
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Innate Talent: None
Skills:
・Projection Magic
・Unlimited Blade Works
・Phantasm Collapse
・Advanced Swordsmanship
In other words… he was basically a melee-focused Archer from Fate.
And the school, for some reason, classified his "profession" as…
Archer.
He wanted to scream.
Listen to me—there is NOTHING ranged about my kit except maybe throwing a projected sword! Why am I an archer!? Why!?
The bell rang, cutting his despair short.
Students instantly erupted into chatter. Chairs scraped, laughter filled the classroom, and Megumi quietly packed her books with her usual serene presence.
Izumi leaned back in his chair, staring at the chaotic classroom.
In a normal world, Megumi would have been the "ordinary girl" archetype.
But in this world?
Ordinary was impossible.
