After Fujita explained the details of his power, the others also began to reveal what they had.
Well, since we're new to this world, perhaps it's better to tell the people of this world about our powers for the sake of our future.
[Reserve Space]
That was the name of Agatha's power. A space-type ability, she could open a dimensional space that could be used for physical storage.
Jack said that this world also had the concept of storage space like Agatha's, but here it required a magical tool—unlike Agatha, who could create it directly.
After Agatha's examination, next was Kushida, and what she received was—
[Blessed Recovery]
It was a Support-type ability. She could heal wounds, reduce pain, and restore stamina.
Although we didn't yet know how effective the power was, it was definitely very useful in daily life.
And the final examination was Haru. She took the cube nervously and, as had happened with the others, strange patterns began to appear—but something different occurred. This time, the patterns glowed gold and shone brightly, unlike the previous ones that were only milky white.
"W-what's happening?"
"OOH."
"It seems something incredible is happening."
Seeing that sight, the room filled with surprise.
"Hmm... looks like she's the protagonist of this world... Damn! If only I'd been the last one to touch that damn cube! ...Wait! There's still another possibility, haha."
In that situation, I looked at Renaldi. He started spouting strange words again—his expression of regret suddenly shifting into one of joy.
Has he gone mad? His unstable, fluctuating emotions made me see him that way.
A moment later, the brilliant light subsided, dropping golden droplets that eventually formed into a small pin.
Haru picked it up and read the inscription on the pin.
[Photon Shift]
Just like the others, Haru groaned in pain. After recovering, she began to explain her ability.
"This is an element-type power. According to the explanation I received, Light is my power. That's the only explanation I got."
Hmm... Light as a power? Did Haru become a solar panel? The information about her power was still lacking, but judging from the earlier spectacle, it was surely something highly significant.
"OOOH, the Power of Light. That must be a gift from God Urt. Lady Haru, please join the church. Under our protection, we will support you in every step of your journey to save this world."
"JACK!!!"
"..."
After learning of Haru's power, Jack enthusiastically invited her to join the church, but Cyrus suddenly raised his voice, calling out to Jack.
Jack stared at Cyrus, and Cyrus stared back. This confrontation was different from before—this time, both of them were serious.
Perhaps others didn't notice, but I could feel the energy radiating from the two of them.
"Hohoho, don't be so impatient, little Jack."
"???"
We suddenly heard a familiar voice, and when we turned to the source, there was Magnus sitting on the sofa beside us.
This man suddenly appeared, startling us, but because of him, the energy emitted by Cyrus and Jack began to subside.
"Haah~, forgive me, Cyrus. And to the heroes, I apologize for showing you something disgraceful. Also, thank you, Lord Magnus, for bringing me back to my senses."
Jack bowed, apologizing to us and expressing gratitude to Magnus.
"HMPH."
"No problem."
"Hohoho."
King Cyrus snorted in annoyance, while Fujita responded with understanding.
"Well then, the examinations are over... We will soon return to the church. Further explanations will be given by King Cyrus."
After saying that, Jack walked over to me and spoke while showing me the cube in his hand.
"I don't know why the Luminis Core didn't work on you, Lord Flitz... Do you not have a power? Or is your power repelling the Luminis Core's judgment?"
Or maybe because I'm not from the same world as Haru? But then why can I sense energy? I'm sure this phenomenon is my power.
I thought there was no need to hide it, so I explained to Jack that I could sense energy.
"Hmmm... you say you can sense magical energy? Sensing magical energy isn't difficult, but it does require training. I heard that your world doesn't have magic, so it should be impossible for you to train to sense it... this might be related to your power—it's still a mystery. Hmmm... Sorry, I can't help you with that, but take this."
What Jack handed to me was that strange cube.
"I think maybe someday, the Luminis Core will work, so take it."
"Are you sure about giving this to me?"
"Yes, I'm certain. This item is useless for beings of this world. Besides, we still have several others like it, so losing one won't be a problem."
Jack said this with conviction. Since he said so, I figured he had a point, and accepted what he gave me.
"Then, I'll take it."
"Good... Anna, let's go back."
"Yes."
After that, Jack and Anna left the room.
"Haa~ Finally, they're gone. Alright, let's move to the next topic... Sit down first."
After they left, Cyrus said that and sat beside Magnus. We followed his instructions and sat across from them. Then, Cyrus began to speak.
"I want you to stay in the castle for at least six months."
"You want us to stay in the castle for six months?"
"Yes... I want you to better understand this world, and I think six months will be enough. I've spoken with various factions—they want to take you under their protection... like what happened just now, with the church wanting Haru under their wing."
"I see."
Fujita nodded after hearing King Cyrus's explanation.
"Of course, I also think the same. If you wish, you can stay in this castle permanently."
I see. We are beings from another world, moreover, heroes of destiny. Naturally, many would want to invest in us.
I saw Renaldi raise his hand and ask a question.
"Can we refuse those offers?"
"Of course! That's up to each of you. You must think carefully about it, but if you wish to wander the world, I suggest you first learn how to protect yourselves before stepping outside."
Cyrus was right. This world had all sorts of monsters and wicked people carrying weapons everywhere, as well as the ability to cast magic at anyone.
"That is why Lord Magnus will teach you magic... Of course, if you want to learn other skills, there are many great people here who can teach you."
So that's why Magnus was here.
I might not have a problem with self-defense, but it was different for the other five. Even though they had special abilities, they hadn't developed them at all yet. They needed to grow their powers and learn skills.
The six of us simply exchanged glances. Choosing something like an investor wasn't a decision to be made quickly.
We needed time to think it over, and it seemed Cyrus understood that.
"You don't have to decide right now. You need to observe the situation first, and most importantly, you must learn many things... that's all I can say for now. Do you have any questions?"
"Can we really use magic? And when can we start learning it?"
Magnus was the one who answered Renaldi's question.
"Yes, I've already confirmed that you can use magic, and we can begin lessons tomorrow."
What? Since when had he confirmed that? Hmm... maybe when we first met, it wasn't just a simple greeting.
"Any more questions?"
"...."
Since no one else asked anything, Cyrus ended the meeting.
"Seems there are none. In that case, this meeting is dismissed. You may leave... Ah, before that, for now I want you to keep the contents of this meeting secret, especially the types of powers you possess."
"Understood, we will keep it secret."
Cyrus nodded at Fujita's answer, and we left the room.
**********
In the room left behind by the heroes from another world, Cyrus and Magnus discussed something.
With a serious face, Cyrus asked Magnus.
"Are you sure it's true?"
"Yes, I'm 90% sure."
Hearing Magnus's answer, Cyrus furrowed his brow.
"Ugh... I can't believe it could exist here."
"Yes, I still don't understand what all this is for, but there must be a special reason."
"Yes, you're right. She must have a special reason... but thankfully Jack did his job properly."
Hearing that, Magnus rose from his seat and left the room without saying another word.
Cyrus didn't watch Magnus leave—he simply stared at the ceiling, lost in many thoughts.
