I love time travel the most!

After saying that, Bell secretly glanced at Ais. What that idiot was thinking was obvious.

Hestia was the first to protest.

"No, I don't agree!"

"Why, Your Majesty?"

"No means no, there's no reason why!"

"Eh----"

It's purely because the twin-tailed loli goddess is jealous and throwing a tantrum, unwilling to let the person she likes choose the same profession as Warren.

Seeing her goddess being willful, Lily sighed and said to her captain, "Lord Bell, Lily will not question your decision, but is this really the right career choice? Why don't we ask someone with more experience first?"

In the end, it was Lily who was thinking ahead.

Rather than letting your own superior and your own leader have a disagreement, it's better to take into account the opinions of Kobayashi and others.

"Hmm, becoming a sword master is indeed a good choice, but...!"

Upon hearing Kobayashi's approval, Bell was instinctively delighted.

However, there's always a "but," and the key to this statement lies in the turning point.

Then Kobayashi said, "Bell, don't let your profession blind you; you need to broaden your perspective."

"……What's the meaning?"

The boy looked confused.

With a smile, Kobayashi asked, "Bell, why don't you guess what my profession is?"

"Mr. Kobayashi's profession?"

Not only him, but Hestia, Ais, and Lily were also very interested.

Aqua and Sato Kazuma wore mischievous smiles, seemingly believing that the other two would never guess.

Hestia pondered for a moment and said, "Kobayashi, your strength is evident to all, and considering your weapon... I guess you're a puppeteer?"

"wrong."

"A master swordsman?"

"That's not right either."

"The Knight of the Cross?"

"Not right yet."

Bell, Ais, and Lily mentioned several professions, including not only advanced ones but also many ordinary ones.

Unfortunately, Kobayashi denied all of them.

Hestia asked suspiciously, "Are you kidding us?"

"Am I that boring?"

Xiaolin rolled her eyes at her.

Seeing that the others couldn't guess, he took out his adventurer card and said, "You all guessed physical classes, but is it possible that I'm not a physical class?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I am the Archmage."

"what?!"

Hestia was shocked.

She instinctively wanted to deny it, but the adventurer card clearly stated "Grand Magister" as its class, so even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to believe it.

Kobayashi is actually a Grand Magus?

Are there really such archmages?!

"Hehehe, didn't expect that, did you?" Aqua, who had developed a fondness for such an expression, leaned closer and showed off her superiority to Hestia, saying, "Kobayashi's profession is a secret. Even others thought it would be a swordsmanship master or something, but they don't know that Kobayashi's profession is actually a Grand Magister!"

"...It really surprised me."

Hestia nodded.

This is a rigid mindset, thinking that professions like Archmage are like Huihui, weak and powerless turret mages who need protection but have powerful firepower.

"While mastery of swordsmanship certainly provides an advantage, there are actually no limitations to a profession."

“Nabel…”

"My suggestion is to change your class to Archmage."

"Eh?"xN

Everyone was surprised to hear what Xiaolin said.

Such a reaction is understandable, but Kobayashi actually has her own understanding.

Although Bell is known for his agility and is nicknamed "Rabbit," he actually fights with dual daggers but relies more on magic—[Fire Lightning] and [Hero's Wish].

Among them, [Hero's Wish] is an ultimate skill that can enhance a mage's focus, mental strength, and magic power, making him the most suitable profession for him.

"More importantly, archmages can learn more magic. How about it, Bell, aren't you tempted?"

"Please let me become a Grand Magister! No, please, you must let me become a Grand Magister, please!"

Bel, who also yearns for and is obsessed with magic, did not hesitate to abandon his mastery of swordsmanship and choose to become a glorious archmage after hearing that he could learn more magic.

After that, Kobayashi solemnly warned him never to listen to Megumin's slander and learn the Explosion Magic, which embarrassed Bell and made the chuunibyou little girl furious.

Then Bell asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what is Mr. Kazuma's profession?"

"Adventurer".

"what?"

"Just an ordinary adventurer."

“I-Is that so…”

"Hey, you were probably thinking to yourself just now: Everyone else has high-level professions, so why are you looking down on me just because I'm an adventurer?!"

"No, no, no, that's absolutely not true!"

Kazuma Sato's gaze was so intimidating that Bell was too scared to respond.

This is a wound that will never heal in Kazuma Sato's heart, making him seem even more insignificant compared to Bell, who shocked everyone upon his first appearance.

"Don't joke around, I'm really strong!" Sato Kazuma, whose sore spot had been hit, shouted defiantly, "Fine, let me show you what I've got!"

"What?! Kazuma's going to show off his skills?!"

Upon hearing this, Duster immediately shouted, and the sound instantly echoed throughout the entire guild, energizing everyone else as well.

"Kazuma, come and show us what you've got!"

"Show me your skills! Show me your skills! Show me your skills!" xN

Amid cheers from the crowd, Kazuma Sato grinned mischievously, then stretched out his hands and wiggled his ten fingers back and forth with a dexterity that rivaled even Kobayashi's.

"Well, since everyone wants me to show off my skills, then I'll give it a try!"

Then, he reached out his evil claws towards Luna, the innocent saleswoman.

"—Steal!"

There was a flash of light.

Hestia and the others were bewildered, not knowing what had happened. Only the other adventurers watched with great anticipation as Kazuma Sato raised his fist and clenched it, then slowly opened it in front of everyone.

“——————!!!”

Luna blushed instantly.

There was a pure cotton white triangle-shaped garment, which was originally her private undergarment, but now it was in Sato Kazuma's hands.

"Success!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

"As expected of Kazuma!"

"Kazuma! Kazuma! Kazuma!" xN

As if praising a hero, the adventurers shouted the name of Kazuma Sato, and then this female public enemy—the sadistic Kazuma, waving a triangular white flag, lowered his reputation in the town to the same level as the water flea.

Bell and the others were somewhat disillusioned.

Just now, Sato Kazuma's defiant shouting made me think he was about to do something drastic, and I even had his apology ready. But it got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say a word.

"Ghost Kazuma."

"Dirty Kazuma."

"Garbage and truth."

While Kazuma Sato was hailed as a hero by the adventurers, Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin in the party showed no mercy in their disdain.

The noise intensified during the farce, eventually affecting even Aqua, Hestia, and others.

At that moment, Kobayashi got up and left.

The blonde female swordswoman noticed him and, taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, quietly left her seat and chased after him.

We arrived outside the guild.

The world suddenly became quiet.

The guild gate serves as a boundary; inside lies a bustling and lively entertainment area, while outside are quiet and deserted town streets, as if stepping into another world.

Under the pale moonlight, Kobayashi stood alone on the steps, and Ais silently came to his side.

“Miss Ais, please be sure to discuss the matter of skills with Loki and Mr. Finn. Remember that it’s not always best to choose powerful offensive skills. Sometimes, support skills are more effective.”

"Ah."

"Like Darkness, she didn't have any offensive skills, but her base stats were several times higher than everyone else's."

"Ah."
