2. Status
At this time the students were left to rest until lunch time, so Riyan and the others were in their respective rooms to rest and process the information they had just received. Riyan lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, remembering the pain that came suddenly when he heard Alestein's name.
'What was that?'
As far as he knew, he had never experienced a sudden headache like that which was why he was now completely confused. His mind drifted to and thinking of his family waiting for him at home with dinner prepared on the table. He must apologize to his family for disappearing suddenly without permission.
He stayed in his room while processing the information he got from Alestein's long explanation on a table full of paper and pens. Paper in the world is made of the same materials and processes as it used to be in his original world, while the pen is made of goose feathers that have been processed so that it can be used for writing.
Without realizing it, the sun was in the middle of the sky showing a daytime peak was happening. He spent almost four pieces of paper to write down all the important information he remembered and put it on the table, then read it slowly.
At that moment, Faleon came into his room.
"Riyan, it's time for lunch."
"Yes, wait a minute."
Riyan was not too surprised by this because he realized that soon it was time for lunch. He cleared the papers scattered on his desk and piled them together so that it didn't take up a lot of space. When finished, he walked following Faleon who walked to guide him to the dining room.
When they arrived there, the students were eating their lunch heartily at round tables which could hold six people at once. It seems they have accepted the fact that there is no way to return to their original world and become residents of Alivonia's kingdom. Riyan joins them at another table that is quite far away, but as usual he sits isolated from his friends because of his past.
"Riyan, are you alone?"
A voice that greeted him was heard from behind. Instantly all the students' attention was drawn to Riyan and the person who spoke to him. The one who spoke with Riyan was a beautiful brunette with a slightly long blonde with charming brown eyes.
"Tifania?"
Not only were students surprised, but Riyan was surprised too. So far no one has ever greeted, let alone talked to him while in class, so he was quite surprised to see the prettiest girl in his class greeting him who was sitting preparing to eat a lunch menu in front of him.
Tifania Raenhill, an excellent student in the high school occupied by Riyan. If there is a beauty contest held at her school, then Tifania will always be the champion or runner up. The private high school occupied by Riyan has beautiful girls, but Tifania stands above them. Her beauty made all students bow to their knees, both men and women.
"Is the chair of next of yours empty?"
" Yes."
"Then, can I sit next to you?"
"Why?"
"Hmm? The other seats are full, so I can't sit at the table and enjoy lunch prepared by the king Alestein."
Then Riyan looked around to see if he was right. When he checked, the other seat was indeed full. Because of that, he sighed and a small nod signaled agreement. Then Tifania sat beside him and began to take the food that was on the table.
Indeed the table is separated, but the food menu remains the same, there is nothing different. Most menus are meat, bread, soup, and vegetables, no rice. Maybe because rice has not been found or the inhabitants of this world do not know how to process it properly. Following Tifania, Riyan also takes enough food for his stomatch.
While they both ate at the same table, almost all the students felt very jealous and were annoyed to see a Riyan Klaint having lunch together with the prettiest girl in his class, Tifania Raenhill. Even so, they continued their lunch calmly without significant commotion. Only the voice of chatter was heard here and there, mostly about Riyan and Tifania who were eating together.
"Hey, Riyan."
"Hm? What is wrong?"
"Are you lonely?"
Riyan who was swallowing bread along with the soup suddenly choked because of the question from Tifania that surprised him.
"Cough! Cough! "
"Ri-Riyan, are you okay?!"
Tifania panicked as soon as she saw Riyan choking like that. She took a glass of mineral water and gave it to Riyan with a little panic. Riyan receives a glass of water and drinks it, then he takes a deep breath.
He put the glass on the table and sat back upright. He sighed a little and looked at his lunch plate with a slight wry smile. Tifania who saw Riyan expressing like that panicked. She thought that Riyan was angry because the question offended him.
"Are you angry?"
Tifania asked with her face down, dare not look at Riyan. If Riyan is really angry, then she won't bother him anymore, that's what she thinks.
"No, it's just that I'm surprised there are people who ask that. So far no one has ever asked me that."
Hearing Riyan's shocking statement, Tifania was surprised by her wide-eyed eyes. What Riyan said was the truth. No one has ever asked that, including his own uncle.
His parents have long died of an accident eight years ago. He and his little sister were left by both of them. His uncle, the younger brother of Riyan's mother, took them both and took care of their lives from then until now. Even so his uncle had no intention of interfering in his school life, because he had to take care of himself.
"Why?"
"I don't know, I don't know either."
Riyan answered spontaneously with a wry, curved smile adorning his face. After talking for a while, they resumed their lunch. Among all the heroes who were students in the other world, the most interesting were the two of them, at least for now.
***
After lunch, the students were directed towards the field by royal forces, including Faleon. Arriving at the field, there was a man waiting. From the clothes he wears, it seems he is not a royal army.
"Good afternoon, my name is Tria Holand, the adventurers guild leader."
While bowing slightly, one of the blond brunette women introduced themselves politely. After a while, he straightened up again.
"I came here because I was asked by the king Alestein to measure how strong you are, O heroes who came from another world."
Hearing this, of course the students were surprised. They don't know if there will be a measurement of strength like this. Alestein explained that those who are summoned from other worlds have far greater power than the original inhabitants of this world, but still that must be ensured.
Tria took out a crystal ball from the bag she was carrying and sat on the lawn of the palace court. Seeing this, the students also automatically sat on the grass following him. The soldiers were somewhat surprised by the actions of their heroes.
"Come one by one in an orderly manner and obey my words so that this process of measuring this power can run easily."
After getting approval from Tria, Gilbert went ahead of his friends to ensure that he was not dangerous. Among all the students, the one who has the greatest wealth is Gilbert.
"Is this not dangerous?"
"Oh, not at all. But you have to feel a little pain so that the data about your strength can be recorded perfectly."
"Diverted."
Then Tria told Gilbert to put the two hands of him on the crystal ball. Gilbert did what Tria had to say with confidence without the slightest doubt. His heart was rather anxious, but this was for the sake of friends who were not acceptable with this world.
"Akh ..."
After a while, Gilbert felt pain in the palm of success for a moment. Because of the pain, he immediately released the grip removed from the crystal ball. Then, the crystal ball that is there comes with light and dies in an instant.
"What just happened?"
Gilbert and the students who spoke with what they just saw with their own eyes. There was no answer from Tria who was focusing on the crystal ball. Finished focus, he took an iron bracelet made from aluminum and gave it to Gilbert who was curious.
"Take this and use it, then concentrate your mind on the bracelet and say [Status]."
Gilbert did what was asked by Tria.
"[Status]"
Zwuunngg ...
When he said the word, a slightly translucent hologram screen appeared the size of a F4 paper. Gilbert was surprised to see this, just like the other students who seemed interested in the iron bracelet.
"What is this?"
"That is power and your abilities in this world."
Hearing Tria's words, Gilbert was stunned. What he saw was something that had never existed in their world before.

Seeing the status of Gilbert, Tria and all the people present there, except the students, were surprised. They like never seen anything like this, even though it's true.
"Is my status okay?"
A stupid question was asked by Gilbert to Tria and was immediately answered by him.
"A true hero, even at the zero level like this his power just like level 10 in average of this world."
"Eh?"
Of course, they are heroes who are summoned from a stronger world, there is no way their status is the same as the inhabitants of this native world. Because of seeing that, the other students became very excited to get their turn. They line up neatly to get an iron bracelet that can show their power.
One by one, they got their respective iron bracelets. Of the ten students who have received their iron bracelets no one has a status that can rival Gilbert.
"Oh, this one is good too."
When Tria sparked it, all the students' attention was centered on a girl who had just got her iron bracelet.

All the attention of students and soldiers was stunned by Tifania. The soldiers let go of the worry of seeing someone who has abilities and a healing class. Healing abilities are needed to cure fighters who fight on the front lines. With this, Tifania is one of their valuable assets at that instant.
After a bit of the commotion subsided, they finally got all of their iron bracelets.
The strongest among them were Gilbert, Yushu, Corona, Graham, Rizu, and Hendra. They are the six strongest people among the disciples who are called to this world as heroes. After measuring the power, the students returned to the palace and celebrated this.
When Tria was about to tidy up her crystal ball, stood a black-haired young man and brown eyes whose faces looked expressionless.
"Excuse me, I haven't got any bracelet yet."
"Eh?"
Hearing the statement from the young man, Tria was surprised. The young man who hasn't got the iron bracelet is Riyan, a young man who is almost always ignored and invisible to others.
"Re-Really?"
"This is the proof."
Riyan raises her left hand and shows that there isn't any bracelet that he wears. Tria who saw it sighed a little, then smiled as she returned to take the crystal ball that she had not fully inserted into the bag.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think there were still people who couldn't."
"It's okay."
Then Tria told Riyan to do the same thing as her friends did before. After feeling a little sore, he immediately pulled his palm from the crystal ball. Tria just smiled wryly seeing the same reaction many times for more than half an hour.
Moments later, Tria gave Riyan an iron bracelet. Without hesitation, Riyan took the bracelet and put it in his left hand.
"[Status]"
Zwuungg ...
As he uttered his activity sentence, a hologram screen floating above his wrist showed his status. Because they were only left on the palace court, they were both surprised to see Riyan's untrustworthy status. Tria was really wide-eyed to see it.
