Chapter 7

Yuragi Natsume was summoned to another world as a hero.

The humans, who were being invaded by the Demon King, sought salvation and searched for a wielder of the holy sword, which only a hero could use. After failing to find one, they desperately used summoning magic to find anyone, and they successfully summoned Natsume from Japan on Earth. However, it was beyond their imagination that the wielder would come from a different world.

Despite being summoned to another world, there were virtually no summoning bonuses, and Natsume was extremely dejected. However, the moment he touched the holy sword and was recognized as its wielder, he obtained a power that transcended human limits.

At the same time, he realized he was a true "Hero."

Not just a hero chosen by the holy sword, but Natsume himself possessed the power of a hero even without the sword. In other words, he ended up with two sets of hero powers.

By wielding the holy sword, Natsume awakened.

He obtained his power as a hero with dual abilities.

After being thoroughly trained in the courage to fight rather than the basics of combat, he was immediately thrown into battle against the Demon King's army.

The resistance to hurting others, the guilt of taking lives, humans who saw the demons as less than human, and demons who were no different from humans.

Through numerous experiences, sometimes learning combat techniques from an old man who called himself a sage, he defeated the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's army and the Demon King himself. In the end, he even defeated the Demon God who was leading the world to destruction.

The power that defeated the Demon King, who sought to dominate the entire other world, and the Demon God, was undoubtedly within the current Natsume.

"Well, then."

Sitting cross-legged on the sea, Natsume stood up and raised his right arm, placing his left hand on it.

"Let's try a full-power shot!"

He released his magic power.

Something within his body seemed to awaken, surging through him.

By properly trying to use his magic power with his current body, he could feel it becoming accustomed to him.

Like capillaries spreading throughout his body, Natsume's entire being was infused with magic power, which began to circulate.

"Let's do this with a bang! This is my signature move—Black Rampant Lightning!"

The magic with a chuuni-disease naming sense was released from Natsume's right arm.

Its power was like a black dragon ascending to the sky.

The aftershock of the lightning caused the sea to explode, and seawater rained down like a heavy downpour.

"Ugh, gah, ah!"

The black lightning raged in the sky, erasing clouds and going wild.

Natsume's arm, which continued to release the lightning, split open, and blood spurted out. Then, his forehead cracked, and blood dripped from his nose, making him dizzy.

At the point where he would lose consciousness if he continued, he canceled the magic.

He realized he was out of breath, and his newly bought hoodie was stained with seawater and blood.

"...I see... I can't go all out with this fourteen-year-old body."

An untrained, immature body had its limits. If he tried the same powerful magic, the result would likely be the same.

There were even more powerful spells, but he was unsure if he could use them. He decided it would be better to test them one by one.

"The problem is the holy sword... I'm also worried about that."

When Natsume called for it, the holy sword, which looked like an ordinary Western sword, appeared in his right hand as if it were the most natural thing.

However, given that the Black Rampant Lightning had a significant impact on the sea and sky, using the holy sword would likely cause even more destruction.

Most importantly, the holy sword was difficult to handle and "mischievous," and Natsume doubted he could control it with his current body.

"I had a hard time mastering it in the other world too. I could only manage it because I learned how to use my power from the old sage. If I were asked if I could fully master it, I'd have to think about it."

The ultimate power he obtained in the other world was not even fully grasped by the Natsume of that time.

With his current young body, not only Natsume himself but also the surrounding area could be harmed if he used it carelessly.

"Well, whatever! I probably won't have anyone to use it on anyway."

In conclusion, he settled on that.

Having power with no place to use it was almost the same as not having it at all.

While flying over the water and heading for the beach, he had no interest in hurting powerless people in this world just because he could fly.

"Feels kind of anticlimactic."

Even after confirming his power, it felt like a wasted treasure.

Disappointment dominated his heart more than joy.

"Let's go home."

While casting the healing spell "Heal" on his injured body, he flew just above the water's surface toward the beach. He would pick up his bicycle and wash his uniform at the laundromat. He didn't want his mother to find out about everything.

While thinking about this, as Natsume landed on the beach and was about to head to the nearby bicycle stand,

"Hands up!"

He was surrounded by multiple police officers.

"Huh, wh-what?"

Among the uniformed officers, there were also people in suits. They were young men and women, middle-aged, and elderly.

What they all had in common was that they were holding guns.

"We have permission to fire! Get down on the ground quietly!"

It was the second day since returning from the other world.

Yuragi Natsume was surrounded by the police.
