The Heroes of Kastoria (2)

"The Hero of Darkness."

When Kaguya uttered these words, a wave of confusion swept through the Heroes of Kastoria. However, a few faces bore different expressions. Ryuuki, Akane, and Ayaka, who had done their homework, seemed more composed.

"He's the Hero summoned by the Kingdom of Tenebria, likely by the Demon King," Kaguya explained.

"A Hero? You mean he's alone? He didn't arrive with his class like us?" Yumiko asked, surprised. It wasn't a rule that all summoned Heroes must be classmates, but it had been the case for the Empire of Light and other kingdoms they had heard of.

"No. They summoned only one Hero, but I should warn you to be extremely wary of him," Kaguya said seriously.

"What? He's alone, and we should be scared?!" Yusuke laughed, crossing his arms behind his head.
