When he heard the noise, he slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around with seriousness until he saw a huge painting. It was about 10 meters in height, depicting a grassy plain, a lake, and mountains in the background, with a figure extending both hands out. It was beautiful, yet he felt like it was directly looking at them, causing a chill down his spine.
He noticed they were in a hall that looked like a church. The entire building had a smooth white luster, huge beautifully carved pillars, and a dome-shaped ceiling. The place had a creepy, solemn atmosphere. His classmates also looked around, stunned at what they were seeing.

After Raphael organized his memories, things became much clearer to him. He was reincarnated with a memory seal until the plot unfolded, instead of being transmigrated. He didn't have any memory related to the plot or the predecessor of his ultimate skill.
Protagonist options in the fiction category don't allow memories related to canon or characters. The most annoying part for him was that, except for protagonists, every other option could keep their memory intact.
'Uwaaaa... if I knew it would be like this, I would have chosen the custom option!' he cursed in his heart.

'F***ing hell?! Is that system playing a joke on me?!'
*sigh* 'At least I got a starter pack as compensation,' he recalled. The starter pack could be summoned anytime, but he could take a look at it now.
As for the skill, since his wish happened to align with an experimental skill from a ROB, it was given to him to test its limits.
'I have to self-explore it with just the basics of the skill. Without any memories of its related fiction. Seriously! They didn't even leave any fan fiction reference!?'
But that wouldn't be a problem because he could see endless potential in it. The skill was divided into sub-skills:
- **[Thought Acceleration]:** Accelerates thought processing speed up to a factor of a million, using the soul instead of the physical mind to avoid frying the brain.
- **[Analytical Appraisal]:** Analyzes and assesses any target. Classic.
- **[Parallel Operation]:** Allows multiple minds to work in sync, enabling Raphael to work independently.
- **[Chant Annulment]:** Enables chantless magic.
- **[All of Creation]:** Enhances comprehension of any non-concealed phenomena in the world, like a superior version of insight.
- **[Synthesize/Separate]:** Allows merging or splitting of things.
- **[Alteration]:** Modifies and evolves skills, allowing many possibilities with Synthesize/Separate.
- **[Future Attack Prediction]:** Predicts the future as long as the information is correct, especially effective with [Analytical Appraisal] and [All of Creation].
- **[World Adapted]:** Grants access to Spiral energy, lifting any world logic restrictions and making the soul limitless. But need willpower to use it .

After Hajime finished pondering over his memory and information, he noticed that some senior students were also caught up in the situation. He gazed at the people surrounding the pedestal, expecting an explanation.
At least 30 people on their knees were giving prayers with both hands in front of their chests. All of them wore white robes embroidered with gold. One particular priest, about 70 years old, stood out with his formal headwear and flashy robe despite his age. The old priest spoke with a clear, calming voice fitting his appearance.
"Welcome to Tortus, our hero and his fellow countrymen. We welcome you all. I am Ishtar Lombard, the Pope of the Church of Saints. Please, let's get along."
After he introduced himself, he presented a smile often associated with nice elderly people, but something felt off about him...

After a whole ordeal of reality crisis, his classmates were currently moving to another location where the situation would be explained.
They passed through the great hall and saw tables lined up 10 meters in front of them. The room was made with gorgeous details; it seemed like all the works decorating it were crafted with masterful technique.
When everyone was seated, maids entered, pushing carts. These were real beautiful women. Hajime curiously stared at the maid serving drinks at his side.
'What?!'
He felt a chill down his spine and saw Kaori smiling at him. He understood she was jealous. From his memories, he knew how much trouble she had caused for him. So, he chose to ignore her and smiled at the maid, who smiled back.
No way he would act like a typical protagonist. He had dignity as a man. 'If you don't like my way, then go to hell !'
'Raphael, check if it's poisonous or anything harmful,' he cautiously asked.
**Answer: I have already checked and found nothing dangerous or harmful in the food.**
'That's good! And can you stop those notification-type answers?' he asked out of curiosity.
**As you wish.**
He mentally nodded and looked at Ishtar, who was about to start his explanation.

"I'm sure you are all confused. I will explain first, so please listen until the end before asking any questions," Ishtar began.
He explained the situation rapidly, likely recalling the oracle's message. More than 90% of Humans followed the Church's teachings, and those who heard the oracle were often assigned positions of power.
First, the world was called Tortus. In this world, there were three major races: Humans, Devils, and demi-humans. Humans ruled over the north, Devils over the south, and demi-humans lived quietly in the eastern wilderness.
Humans and Devils had been at war for several hundred years. Devils were stronger, but Humans had the number advantage. Recently, there had been abnormal occurrences, including the deployment of monsters by the Devils.
Monsters, once rare and barely controllable, were now being tamed en masse by the Devils, reversing the Humans' number advantage. This crisis led Ehit, the god who protected and created this world, to summon them to prevent the destruction of mankind. They were supposed to overthrow the Devils and save the Humans.

Aiko-sensei couldn't take it anymore and banged the table.
"Please don't joke around! In the end, these children will be fighting in a war! I won't allow such a thing! I will absolutely not allow such a thing! Please let us return! Surely, their families will be worried about them! What you have done is merely kidnapping!"
