This happened several weeks before the great conflict between the Elf Kingdom and its neighboring nations erupted. At that time, Rentaro Takamura had yet to be drawn into the vortex of politics and ancient magic shaking the continent. And his closest friend, Kiriya Asano, was in the midst of intensive training as part of their adaptation efforts in this new world.
Kiriya, a short-haired young man with razor-sharp eyes, was an Assassin—a combat class relying on agility, precision, and shadow strikes. Not a single movement was wasted, and every step he took seemed shaped by deadly, disciplined training.
Unlike Ren, who only really knew Kiriya from their class back on Earth, Kiriya had become familiar with almost everyone. His extroverted nature and social ease helped him blend in quickly—though ironically, the class he received upon being summoned to this world was the most "isolated" of all—Assassin, a bearer of shadowy, dirty work.
