"The topic actually turns to me?"
Rather than hurrying to put away the holy sword, Shiraishikawa briefly browsed through the dimensional chat group's contents. After all, he had successfully changed his class thanks to the group files.
Continuing to lurk would be somewhat impolite.

Ordinary High School Student: Sorry, when I first entered, I heard you all talking about Holy Sword Users, so I couldn't help but check out the group files.
Future Holy Sword User: Are you also interested in becoming a Holy Sword User?
Ordinary High School Student: Yes, after all, my world is far too ordinary—it's just that there are a few more ghosts and monsters around. Being able to awaken extraordinary powers is still very interesting.
Future Holy Sword User: There's no need to rush awakening your holy sword; you can take it slowly. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to @ me in the group chat to ask.
Shiraishikawa looked at the enthusiastic Future Holy Sword User. He was still considering how to ask for some guidance, but the opportunity had been delivered right to him.
After all, this was a system from another world.
Relying solely on the "Holy Sword Awakening Guide" at most allowed him to unlock the class. How to quickly and efficiently advance as a Holy Sword User—that was the problem he needed to consider.
Besides "Holy Sword User," Shiraishikawa estimated there were also "Adventurer" and "Transcendent" classes in the group, waiting for new class panels to accommodate them.
Ordinary High School Student: Actually, I do have a question.
Ordinary High School Student: [Image.jpg]
Ordinary High School Student: I seem to have successfully awakened my holy sword, but the appearance of this holy sword is somewhat different from the ones in the "Holy Sword Awakening Guide." What's going on?
As the messages were successfully sent, the chat group fell into a brief silence, but immediately after came a frenzy of messages.
Future Holy Sword User: ???
Railgun: This has to be fake, right? How long has the newcomer been in the group, and they've already learned it!!
Gold-Rank Adventurer: It seems the new member of the chat group has truly terrifying talent.
Butterfly Mansion Master: !!
Butterfly Mansion Master: I think the newcomer is definitely not an ordinary... high school student. What do you mean "it's just that there are a few more ghosts and monsters around"—is that something a person would say!

In the girls' dormitory of the Holy Sword Academy, Riselia, dressed only in her underwear with silver hair draped over her shoulders, had an exquisitely beautiful face like that of a fairy.
It gradually became shrouded in bitterness.
The currently known time flow rates were completely identical, and at most only ten minutes had passed since the Ordinary High School Student joined the group chat.
Riselia felt inexplicably irritated inside. She had failed to awaken a holy sword for several consecutive years, and she had even begun to doubt herself internally.
"Could it be... that on this path to becoming a Holy Sword User, there really are geniuses?"
Just as she finished speaking, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a blonde girl with twin tails walked in. She possessed beauty no less than Riselia's.
Wearing the Holy Sword Academy's girls' uniform, outlining her slender waist.
Regina Mercedes—her identity was Lisesharte's personal maid and childhood friend.
Noticing Lisesharte's expression, Regina quickly walked to the bedside, her face filled with concern as she asked: "Young miss, did something happen?"
Lisesharte opened her eyes in a daze.
Her pink lips pressed together, finally squeezing out a sentence with difficulty: "...It's nothing, just let me be alone for a bit."
Academy City.
With shoulder-length brown hair, wearing Academy City's JK uniform, Mikoto Misaka wore a short skirt paired with brown round-toe leather shoes, white bubble socks particularly eye-catching.
As she walked, she held her phone with both hands, seemingly replying to emails.
In reality, she was paying attention to messages in the Dimensional Chat Group.
"To become a Holy Sword User so quickly... could they be a member of Academy City? But the specific information doesn't match up at all."
"..."
"Onee-sama, why are you still texting and completely ignoring me!"
"I encountered something interesting."
Mikoto Misaka put her phone back in her pocket. She didn't take this matter to heart, shifting her gaze to a vending machine not far ahead.
Casually carrying her bag by one hand.
She looked like she was about to shop at the vending machine. Following behind her was a girl slightly shorter than the average middle school girl's height, with brown hair, slightly naturally curled ends, and butterfly ribbon twin-tails.
Kuroko Shirai saw Mikoto Misaka's actions and couldn't help but twitch at the corners of her mouth.
"Hiya!"
Mikoto Misaka, who had been standing in place, nimbly turned around, then charged up and gave the vending machine a drop kick with her foot.
Drinks instantly fell out.
Unable to bear watching, Kuroko Shirai complained: "Onee-sama really, wearing such tasteless things under your skirt again!"
"Where are you looking? These are more suitable for exercise and warm..."
A certain border guild.
A girl with waist-length blonde hair, wearing adventurer armor and wielding a longsword, couldn't conceal her inner astonishment as she checked the Dimensional Chat Group.
If Leo were here.
He would definitely recognize her identity—still in the adventurer stage, not yet having encountered goblins—the Sword Maiden.
"To become a Holy Sword User so quickly—even if they came to our world, they'd probably have a chance to become a powerful adventurer, right?"
As a swordsman, Lian Viviet naturally wanted to become a Holy Sword User.
However, after so many days without successfully awakening, she was genuinely astonished by Leo's talent, though she didn't particularly mind.
She looked at the adventurer party gathered around her.
"Everyone, next we're going to subjugate the goblins entrenched outside the city. Please be prepared, we can depart shortly!"
After posting the question to the Dimensional Chat Group, although it was Lisesharte who hadn't yet successfully awakened as a Holy Sword User, it was their common knowledge after all.
Leo still obtained much useful information.
In exchange, he chose to tell Lisesharte the key points for awakening as a Holy Sword User. Although he directly obtained the profession through the panel.
He had some insights and experiences to share.
As for whether it could help Lisesharte, Leo didn't know.
After collecting his thoughts.
He began thinking about methods to level up the Holy Sword User profession. Savages definitely didn't exist in the current world, but the number of ghosts was maxed out.
Shifting his gaze to the distance, to the trembling Mary.
Leo suddenly got an idea and couldn't help speculating: "I wonder if killing those ordinary ghosts could level up the profession?"
