Chapter 1554 Why I...?

After the introductions session ended, the teacher told them that he would introduce them about general knowledge about Savior on the training ground so he told them to go to the changing room to prepare themselves.

It might not be related, but the name of the teacher was Taro Tanaka.

Taro is an unremarkable-looking man with spectacles in his forties with short black hair in a side-parting style and an unhappy face.

Well, enough about Tanaka Taro, when Satsuki heard that they needed to go to the changing room, she happily ran toward Jeanne and pulled her along to the changing room together, but Jeanne stopped on Shizuno and woke her up so the three of them could go together.

Satsuki was quite displeased at Shizuno, but she also felt that it was a bit cruel to leave this sleepy girl behind.

Shizuno woke and lazily nodded, following them to the changing room.

"See you later, Haru," Jeanne said.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, Kasugano!" Satsuki said.

Shizuno only yawned and didn't say much.

"Yeah, see you later."

Haru nodded and wondered why the heroines seemed to be very sticky to him. He glanced at the protagonist and saw him had walked out from the classroom without saying anything to Shizuno and Satsuki.

Looking at the protagonist, Haru could only shake his head since he knew that the protagonist wasn't the type that took an initiative, but it wasn't his problem after all whether the protagonist could be together with the heroines or not.

Inside the changing room on the female side, Jeanne looked at the gym uniform with a weird expression.

"What's wrong, Jeanne?" Shizuno asked curiously.

"Nothing..." Jeanne murmured, but didn't think too much before she wore her gym uniform.

"Do you think the gym uniform is too skimpy?" Shizuno suddenly asked.

Jeanne blushed, but she nodded since she felt that this thing was too skimpy.

"Well, just think of it as swimsuit, you don't need to think too much," Shizuno said calmly.

"Is that so?"

When Jeanne changed her clothes, Satsuki's voice came to her ears.

"Jeez! Jeez! What's wrong with everyone! They're so mean! I will show them my power during the practical lesson!" Satsuki thought that she was going to amaze everyone with her amazing power.

Jeanne looked at Satsuki with a speechless expression, wondering how this girl could be so energetic.

"She's so noisy," Shizuno said.

Even though Jeanne didn't say anything, she had to admit that she agreed with Shizuno's words.

Inside the changing room of the male side, everyone sucked a deep breath and was amazed when they saw Haru's body, even though his muscle wasn't that big, they could see that it was full of power, manly and how perfect it was.

Even though they didn't say anything, they felt jealous, envious, and somehow felt inferior.

"What's wrong?" Haru asked some random male students. He didn't remember his name nor did he need to since he didn't think this guy was even a minor character in the story.

"Ka... Kasugano-kun, how can you have such a body?"

Haru smiled and said, "Of course, by training."

"Training?"

They were dumbfounded. Most of them were normal students after all and even if they received a memory from their previous lives, they were a student and they didn't have that much of experience nor they knew what they would do as a Savior.

Looking at their expressions, Haru shook his head and said, "Since all of you are guys, then I won't sugarcoat anything." He changed his clothes and gave them advice. "Being a Savior is dangerous, you might not notice it before, but you will be able to see a grave around the school."

"Grave? Why is there a grave at the school?"

"It is because our upperclassmen are killed during an action," Haru said.

"......"

The moment those words came out, everyone was in silence and some of them were pale.

"Being a Savior means that you will have to fight a Metaphysical to protect everyone in this country and if you don't prepare yourself, you might lose your lives."

*Gulp!*

Everyone started to get nervous since they didn't have an idea that being a Savior was such a dangerous career.

Some of them even thought to go home since they didn't want to lose their lives.

"Are you scared?" Haru asked with a smirk.

"Hmph! What a loser!"

One boy with a well-trained body looked at his classmates that showed fear with disdain, but no one said anything since they really felt fear when they thought that they might die.

Haru looked at the boy who snorted and thought that this boy should be a minor villain in the story so he remembered his name.

"You're Gen Isurugi, right? Don't you feel scared of dying?"

"Hmph! I am different from those losers! I have practiced very hard and I won't die!" Gen said with confidence since before he came to the school, he had been trained by his older brother who was the captain of the Striker Unit.

(The Striker Unit or just Strikers are an elite team of students in Akane Academy, which consists of Saviors of a Rank C or higher).

"Well, it's good that you're confident, but what I want to tell all of you is that being afraid of dying isn't a bad thing," Haru said calmly.

"Huh?"

Everyone was dumbfounded by Haru's words.

"Kasugano-kun, what do you mean?"

"Being afraid of dying isn't necessarily a bad thing since you can use that as your motivation to get stronger and when you get stronger, you can have a better chance to stay alive during your battle against the metaphysical and when you stay alive, you will become a hero in the eyes of everyone and by that time, you'll get a lot of things from money, reputation, worship, etc."

*Gulp!*

Hearing Haru's words, they started to imagine their future when they thought they became a very strong Savior in the future.

Haru smiled when he saw their reaction and thought that a group of young men were really easily influenced. He knew that most of them wanted to become a hero and they were also very attracted to materialistic things whether it was money, reputation, girls, etc.

But...

"I know that you all feel very special at this moment, but you also need to remember that with great power there must also come great responsibility." Haru looked at them and said, "But all of you don't have that power now and what you need to do right now is to train to become stronger. Become strong so that you won't die during the battle and become a hero to make your parents, family, or your loved one proud."

His words seemed to contain magic that made anyone hear him feel that their hearts were burning in excitement.

"YES!!!"

Everyone shouted loudly at the same time and thought that they would work hard.

Haru looked at their eyes and nodded, then changed his pants, but when he changed his pants, everyone also subconsciously looked at him, trying to compare each other, but...

They quickly looked away, felt depressed, and felt slightly inferior once again.

Then after they changed their clothes, they walked out together, and at this moment, they didn't realize that they had thought of him as their leader in their hearts.

The protagonist, Haimura Moroha, who had awakened some of the memory of his previous lives, couldn't help but murmur some of the words that were said by Haru before.

"With great power, there must also come great responsibility..."

But then Haimura looked at Haru, who was surrounded by a lot of students with a smile and he could see that Haru had become the central figure among everyone. He wasn't sure the reason, but he felt slightly jealous at this moment since, in the memory of his previous lives, the reason why he was killed was that his allies thought of him as a monster since he was so strong.

Even though Haimura was a prince in his previous life, he entered the battlefield alone, killing thousands or tens of thousands of enemies by himself without the help of his soldiers, allies, or even his subordinates.

Haimura's intention was very kind since he didn't want his people to die, but because of that they were all afraid of him and they betrayed him.

Besides his little sister, Haimura wasn't close to anyone in his previous life.

It was also the reason why Haimura was a bit jealous when he saw how close Haru could be with all the classmates with just a few words, and even the most aggressive one, Gen Isurugi, also became his friend.

Haimura then looked at the empty changing room before shaking his head and decided to bury all of his negative emotions, but at the same time, he was wondering whether he was always this petty-minded.
