In the private Hero High School, where young talents of dungeon explorers gather, Makoto Akaya enrolls, believing in his own abilities. However, upon discovering the gap between himself and his classmates, he realizes that he is the biggest failure in the school. Nevertheless, in the midst of despair, he encounters a skill tree that only he can use, and Makoto Akaya's life begins to change for the better.
Wait, what just happened? Did I... did I just breathe fire?
And why is the treecat on fire?
"Meow! Meeeeooow! MEEEOOOWWW!!!"
"Calm down."
I lifted the panicking treecat and patted its tail to put out the flames. It was a bit singed, but not too bad.
"Meow (Translation: I'm this close to reporting you to animal rights groups!)"
"Hey, you're already black, so it's not that noticeable. Don't worry."
"Meow (Translation: That's *not* the issue! Honestly, Akaya-kun, you really don't get cats. You should learn to understand me better.)"
"More importantly... I just breathed fire."
"Meow (Translation: Why'd you do that?)"
"I was hoping you could tell me."
The two of us looked at each other, both tilting our heads in confusion.
"Meow (Translation: So it's not some kind of skill you unlocked?)"
"No, definitely not. I don't have any fire-breathing skills. Besides, why would I want to suddenly breathe fire at you?"
