Did you find him?

Yes.

One of Kureha's subordinates saw him taking flight from the City of Magic.

Alright. Make sure we stay one step ahead of him.

Yes, ma'am!

So we can finally meet, Arel.

Has it been awhile since you were in your home village?

Yeah. I haven't been back since I came to the City of Magic,

so it's been about a year.

Hmm...

What is it?

Nothin' much, just that I can't even imagine what kinda people your folks are, Boss.

My parents are normal villagers.

There you go again.

Guess you're gonna tell me that they're classless too?

Actually, my mother is a Sword God and my father is a Magelord.

That ain't normal at all!

Should we stay there tonight?

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!

The Empress' Empire

Ah, this is refreshing.

The water feels great.

May I join you?

Sure. I guess it did say this place allows mixed bathing.

Yes.

Ah, this feels amazing.

What's your name?

It's Arel.

Oh...

And you're not gonna tell him your name?!

Come here often?

No, it's my first time.

I happened to find this place on my way back to my home village.

Boss...

She's not just some regular lady, you know.

I can tell.

You don't care if she attacks

because the only thing on your mind is: "Heck yeah, I get to see new skills!" huh?

You know me so well.

Yeah, whatevs.

Arel, what is the purpose of your journey?

Let me think...

To get stronger, I guess.

Do you like to fight?

Not necessarily.

I just want to find out how strong I can get as someone who's classless.

Are you really classless?

I am.

Got any skills?

None in particular, but that hasn't held me back.

People don't make fun of or laugh at you?

I suppose they might.

But it doesn't bother me.

Hmm...

You should come to my home. The Empire.

In the Empire, there are no people that will laugh at you for your class.

Her Majesty has banned that behavior.

You would have an easy life.

That sounds like a good country.

It is. So come with me.

No, I'll have to refuse.

Why?

I told you before, I'm not having any problems.

Besides, there's somewhere else I want to go.

But...

Goodbye.

You sure about turning down her offer?

You're on my case too?

Nah, it's just that you might be happy living in the Empire or whatever, Boss.

And when that happens, you can get rid o' me!

And so, I might be free...

Too bad, but no.

Aw, man!

Well, people have different things that float their boats I suppose.

Stop.

I am one of the Eight Imperial Generals, Shinobi Princess Kureha.

By order of Her Majesty the Empress, you will come with me.

I told you I wasn't going.

You must.

The empress' orders cannot be defied.

I don't care.

I have nothing to do with that empress.

And why is the leader of that country looking for me anyways?

I'm not certain, but it's a very important mission.

Her Majesty the Empress has been searching for a classless man named Arel for a long time.

That doesn't change my mind.

Her Majesty is a goddess.

She will do you no harm.

Don't make me say it again. I'm not going.

I see. In that case...

If it's a fight you want, then I won't show mercy either.

The Blink Dash?!

About ten people, huh?

How about you stop hiding and show yourselves?

How did you know we were there?

We all used the Stealth skill to hide our presence.

Even so, you can't erase the fact that people are there.

One person may fly under my radar,

but ten of you give me enough uneasy vibes to notice.

Huh, there's no way...

Lady Kureha...

You're alright, aren't you?

Yes, I'm fine.

Oh...

Her Divine Protection has hardly dissipated.

She's young, but clearly the strongest one of this group.

No!

Your adorable face is covered in mud, Lady Kureha!

Focus on capturing him!

Be careful. He isn't a mere classless person.

Everyone attack at once!

Yes ma'am!

Hurry! At this rate, Kureha's gonna steal all the credit!

We must catch the classless Arel as soon as possible for Her Majesty.

Wha...?

What happened?!

How many people were you up against?

We fought...

one...

A classless...

Ridiculous! One person, and classless at that, did this to you all?

Just who is this classless Arel?

What, are more of your friends here?

I told ya, Boss. We should hurry outta here.

But all the fighting made me hungry again.

Is this one Arel?

Well, he definitely has the aura of a formidable foe.

However...

I am Dragon Princess Dora, one of the esteemed eight generals of the empire!

Classless Arel, you will come and see Her Majesty the Empress!

Wait right there!

As Beastlord Tirga, that duty is mine!

Gotcha.

You can all come at me at once or attack me one after another.

However, I have one thing to ask of you all.

I want each of you to attack with your best skill possible.

That's what I'd like to see.

Sure.

Your body's going to pay for that bill your slick mouth rang up!

Please don't die until we've brought you in front of Her Majesty, okay?

Hope you're ready!

Shucks. None of them showed me any notable skills.

Boss...

You really need to start thinking of yourself as being superhuman.

You think so?

Anyway, I wish I knew why this Empress is so desperate to have me.

Her Majesty reigns supreme as the strongest of the land...

Oh, you've already come to?

That was quick.

You are strong.

However, you are no match for the skill of the Empress!

A skill that I'm no match for, huh...

I'm curious what kind of skill it could be.

Does it work differently from Mom's swordsmanship and Dad's magic?

You're joking, yeah?

Okay, let's head there now.

Whaaaa??

Is this the imperial castle?

Thanks for going out of your way to come here.

I am Battle Princess Riana, one of the Eight Imperial Generals.

I am one of the same, Specterlord Igbergia.

Her Majesty requests your company at her throne.

I am Great Saint Feena.

P-please come quietly.

I'm Pirate Princess Kinna!

Since you're here, wanna battle?

If you're showing me skills, I'll battle as much as you want.

I don't want to hear any complaining when you get hurt, though.

They shouldn't even try...

You still haven't brought Arel here yet?

Ma'am, he should arrive shortly.

Good grief...

I thought with a name like Eight Imperial Generals

you'd have some amazing skills to see,

but none of that was very impressive.

Y-you can't be serious...

you beat all four of them?!

So, where's this Empress that has some business with me?

If possible, I'd like to see her special skill.

Wait, as one of the Eight Imperial Generals, I, Magic Swordsman Ernella will face y-

Arel!

It's you, Arel! You're really here!

Let... me... go... Big Sis...

Arel! Arel!

"Big Sis"?

So, why am I here?

I need some answers.

Why are you acting as an Empress?

What do you mean "why"?

This is all because I made a promise to you.

A promise?

Yes.

I made my own country

without class discrimination because I promised you I would!

Here, people don't belittle the classless.

You can live an enjoyable and peaceful life, Arel!

How wonderful!

Her Majesty the Empress is so thoughtful!

And we're all going to live here together, Arel.

I'm going to send for Mom, Dad, and Mira to come here.

You don't need to do that.

Yes, yes, I know!

The sooner I do it the... Huh?

I said, there's no need for that.

B-but why?!

I did all of this for you...

I worked so hard for this, and yet...

I'm grateful you did. Thanks.

Well then-

But I'm sorry.

There are things I want to do elsewhere.

That's why I can't stay here forever.

What is it that you want to do?

Is it really impossible for you to stay here?

I am classless.

But that's precisely why I can master anything.

Unlike everyone else, my potential is limitless.

I enjoy putting in hard work.

Spending my time learning new skills,

customizing them, and getting stronger is fun.

Arel...

Leaving home and traveling lead me to meeting lots of different types of people.

I learned that each of them have their own ideas and goals.

That sort of experience also made me grow.

So, while I'm grateful for what you've done for me,

I want to keep moving freely, like I am now.

I'm happy.

Okay, I see.

You went and became an adult, too, huh?

That's fine. Then you can do as you like.

Thank you, Astea.

I'll come back to see you when I feel up to it.

However...

If that's how you want it, fine. I'll do whatever I want, too.

There it is!

The strongest skill that makes all obey her, like an order from

the Gods themselves: Heaven's Will!

Your Majesty, you would really use this power

to make your younger brother follow your desires?!

Yes.

Little brothers are supposed to obey their older sisters.

Arel, stop!

Is this Astea's skill?

Arel, turn this way.

Arel, I've been waiting for this day for a very long time!

Now, Arel! You will marry your older sister!

What?!

Huh?!

Seriously?

So you're just a self-centered brother bumper?!

Shut up, shut up!

Arel, you will marry me.

Goodness, you're such a shy boy, Arel!

Fine. I'll make the first move then!

Mwaahh!

Your Majesty?!

Wh-why isn't my skill working on you?!

Heaven's Will is absolute!

I heard that the Empress' skill was the strongest,

so I thought about what it could be on the way here.

I understood it from when I was first stuck.

It wasn't that you had cast a charm spell on me,

or my legs were physically unable to move.

On the contrary, I could tell the spirit of the wind was at work.

Th-that can't be...

And then, I thought that the conditions for casting Heaven's Will

might be to have the subject hear your voice.

And so, I made it so I temporarily couldn't hear anything around me with wind magic.

Moreover, apparently you can't give two different orders at the same time.

Boo...

Honestly, I think that skill is the strongest depending on how you use it.

You made the Eight Imperial Generals here follow you using that, right?

Th-that isn't true!

We are deeply moved by Her Majesty's will and chose to follow her to the bitter end.

Yeah, for real!

Her Majesty's devotion to the country is no lie.

I see.

You've grown up, too, Sis.

Wah, Arel...

Goodbye, Astea. I'll see you.

I'm glad you're doing well.

Arel still worries about me despite everything, huh?

Yes, it seems that way.

So that means...

He really does love me!

The love between siblings is eternal!

I'm waiting for you, Arel!

I'm going to get much stronger and come to make you mine!

Whaaaat....

I'm home.

Oh, welcome back, Arel!

You look well.

I've gotten even stronger.

I don't mind you going wherever you want, just don't get hurt, okay?

That's funny coming from you, Mom.

Though I wish you had let us known ahead of time that you were coming home.

I'll do that starting next time.

Big Brother!

You've gotten even bigger, Mira.

Because you went off somewhere for a year!

No more disappearing on me so suddenly, mister!

They really are pretty normal folks.

Yeah, I told you they were.

You've got something there!

Arel, is this a souvenir? Can I have it?

Sure. Do what you want with it.

And play with Wobwob, too.

Aw, c'mon, Boss!

Yippee!

I'm an advanced class demon, though!

Poke poke. Poke poke.

Anyways, I met Astea.

Oh yeah? Was she doing well?

Yeah, more or less.

Come in.

That you, Reiner? What's wrong?

Um, it's just that... well...

You finally came back home, and I was hoping we could talk a little bit.

Is that okay?

Of course, it's okay.

Really?

I wanted to ask you more about the City of Magic.

I want to hear more about what you've done too, Reiner.

O-oh, that's great.

I always thought you had absolutely no interest in me, though...

This past year you've been training intensely with my mom, right?

I'm dying to find out just how much stronger you've gotten.

Yeah, of course. That's what you're interested in.

Now then, what was the City of Magic like?

Let's see.

First, I met three wizard kids...

Arel went off somewhere again!

Had a feeling he would.

I wonder what type of skill I'll encounter next...

Can't wait to find out!
