Brightwing Empire, the otherworlders are all at the magic hall of the empire to find out their status and arts.
Anthony grabbed the hilt of the word as he chanted.
"status open!"
The next moment a video-game-like interface popped up in front of Anthony. It was big enough for the people in the room to see from a distance.

After looking at Anthony's status, Ladia and the knights reacted with surprise.
" He is only level 1 !?"
No one couldn't tell if that meant he was strong or weak. They looked on curiously.
"Normally, a level 1 individual would not have so many abilities. Most people except geniuses can use only one element of magic, two in rare cases, three in extremely rare ones…which are said to have the potential to achieve incredible powers in others words, this status is incredibly amazing.
After that, Ladia explained statuses in simple terms.
A "Level" was the value of one's experience. Increasing it provides greater physical abilities and the possibility to learn more powerful skills. One's magic power capacity increased too.
An "Art: as Ladia explained was an ability unique to heroes.
'" skill" was the general name for abilities and techniques like Language comprehension is also included in skills. Skills levels
There were also "Unique skills" though Anthony did not possess any. They were very powerful skills that did not belong to any category and were very difficult to obtain.
The "title" literally means what it says, something like a description of the person.
Finally, Ladia explained that "class" are from a job that provides skills limited to that class. The topic of the "class" was big so she'll explain properly after everyone have checked their statuses.
After the explanation, Mariana continued to check everyone's statuses, one by one.
Amy wasn't too keen on the whole thing so stayed back and looked planning to go last.
All of the students and Ms Lara too had language comprehension in their skills, as well as multiple elemental magic and other skills.
Eventually, Amy's turn came up, she placed her hand on the hilt of the sword-like everyone else had done.
The next instant, everyone reacted in surprise.
"so unlucky.."
"what happened.. what?!"
Ladia was surprised, very surprised.
"all summoned heroes are supposed to have an Art. But there is nothing shown in her status. There isn't even the title of a Hero either!"
As Ladia said, Amy's status was as follows.
[Status]
Name: Amy Yunnan
Level: 1
Age: 18
Species: Human(Otherworlder)
Title: none
Class: None
Art: None
Skills: Appraisal
Language comprehension
Not only did she lack an Art and a title, but didn't even have an elemental magic skill. What she had was a skill that none of the rest had Appraisal and Language comprehension skills.
"How can this be? In any case, I shall inform His majesty about this, Noble heroes, Please wait here. I will explain about classes before I send you all to your first training"
{from here on there will be multiple POVs of certain characters}
As soon as Ladia left, Kuro, the used to be class bully came up to Amy, with his gang, of course, their usual nasty smiles on their faces.
"wow, have you seen how useless this girl is?"
"hahaha, seriously! Worthless trash should beg to follow us, heroes!"
"don't you fear being abandoned for being useless?"
"why don't you come with us, if Kuro here put in a word for, maybe that Hot princess may comply, after all, he has a unique skill which only one other person has"
Kuro thought he could take this chance to get this girl as his follower. And then when happens he could do all the nasty things he imagined with her delicious body. Hehehehe he couldn't even stop himself from drooling as he imagined. Even though she was useless, her body is something else.
"I'll take good care of you Amy, you can trust me hehe"
Anthony glared at Kuro and his gang
"Hey Kuro, do you think it is right to talk like that? Do you also not know that teacher Lara is here"?
Kuro's gang however replied.
"Hey Anthony mind your own business, or maybe do you plan to act as the hero and take her for yourself?"
"that must be it, look he can't retort at all hahaha men will be men.."
Anthony kept quiet. After all, they were right, he was not the good guy everyone thought he was. Back in his world, he used his Dad's power to play with girls he wanted. Rape, kidnapping and even murder he had done it all not by his own hands but with his dad's power. At school, he acted like a Good person because the school being a prestigious one, could not be moved using his dad's authority. And he needed the school to put in a good word for him when he graduates. He did everything for his own good.
And even now, he only stood up for Amy because he also wanted to taste this girl. Back on earth her parents, had more power than his own dad so he couldn't touch her. But in this situation, it doesn't matter.
But he knew which side to take. A person with a unique skill, one who will be focused by the princess and emperor against a useless girl, whose only good thing was her devilish body.
Only idiots would choose the latter.
"Sorry Amy, I cannot stop them…"
Anthony turned away from the bullies and bowed to Amy.
"you don't have to worry Anthony, please raise your head"
"But.."
"it's fine don't worry"
Anthony walked away with a smile on his face. Giving a smile to Kuro as he walked out.
Soon after that, Ladia returned to the audience hall.
As soon as she came inside she walked straight towards Amy.
"Miss Amy, my humblest apology, but could we continue our conversation in a separate room? Everyone else, please wait here."
Amy figured out what she was going to say but she had no choice but to go. She tightens her fist as she followed her.
"understood"
Some classmates knew what was going to happen but didn't want to put themselves at risk so stayed quiet. Some girls were even happy, the pride full bichh is now getting what she deserved.
"I wanna see the look in her face when the princess decides to leave her behind"
"Really, don't be like that she is still our classmate"
"classmate or not? We can't change the fact that she is useless!"
Amy sigh.. she knew they'll probably kick her out
"Amy don't worry I am here for you!"
The teacher said Amy didn't know whether she was telling the truth or just acting the part.
But she didn't care.
In another room-
"That is all"
Ladia told Amy what she exactly predicted or not.
"I see. Having someone without an Art or title with the other heroes would be troublesome and slow down the progress of the heroes, so work in the intelligence department?"
Amy expected to be kicked out but that wasn't the case. She actually understands now because she had a skill that none of the others had. Appraisal.
"yes, the intelligence department directly supports the heroes by processing intel and items gathered by the heroes during their expedition."
Ladia then gave her a letter which acted like an appointment letter to the intelligence department with a few gold coins.
" I want you to immediately head to the neighbouring city of Wings as the intelligence department is located there. Once there you are free to live as you wish aside from helping in the department. No need to meet up again with the heroes, they will be too busy with their stuff. "
"…understood. Please tell the others I left by my own accord."
Well, she planned to leave on a journey anyway, so the departure just came up earlier, in a way.
She didn't have to work her ass off fighting and could live a free stressful life in this new world. It didn't sound that bad after all.
Ladia smiled at her words.
"yes, please take care of yourself, may god be with you"
The knights then escorted her out of the castle as they gave Amy a map leading to the City of Wings. It showed on the map that as long as she crossed the river the castle she would reach the city. So she planned to leave immediately.
But things weren't that simple as she thought…..
The princess, Ladia erased her smiled as she saw the useless tool leave the castle. She didn't think any higher of the heroes, other than tools meant for the empire to use.
One worthless tool in many doesn't change anything other than providing some extra trouble.
Even if the tool was useless she was sure to squish every little use it had and throw it away once she has gotten what she needed.
Even if someone from the heroes suspects or goes against her actions, it is as simple as pulling out a weed, no matter how strong the heroes are at the current time they do not pose any threat at all.
She smiled.
" A bunch of dogs, what can they other than follow their master's command."
