Synopsis
​

High school student Haruka has always been a content loner. One day, he and his class are abruptly transported to another world and given skill points to use when choosing from an assortment of abilities and magical powers. Unfortunately, Haruka arrives last, and he can only use his points on the seemingly impractical abilities the others had no interest in. Although he is on his own again and must adjust to his new life by himself, he much prefers it that way.

However, Haruka's peaceful solitude is short-lived, as he runs into some of his classmates. Weak to their pleas for help, he ends up sheltering and helping them reunite with the others. But the different cliques struggle to see eye to eye, forcing Haruka to find a way to end the infighting and restore harmony between them to survive the unfamiliar world.

Episode 1 was good. Started out introducing the groups of the school and main character Haruka. Haruka is a loner who basically keeps to himself and reads manga. There's the various groups too: delinquents; gals; jocks; nerds and student representatives. The whole class was transported to another world and Haruka almost got away by hiding. But then he was pulled in too. Haruka ended up in the same place as the god that summoned them, and the skills he could pick from were leftovers which appeared to be bad/useless at first glance. After some ranting, the god gave them all to him. The villager A set turned out to be amazingly useful, complete even with an infinite storage bag. Haruka also rolled "M" (max) on the dice so got the luck skill to max. He's done well so far surviving on his own, set up a camp, been able to gather food and resources thanks to the contact lenses, and has done some training which has him improving at a rapid pace. Right at the end after catching a rabbit at night, Haruka finds the kids from his school. He wants to stay away from them and keep alone.

 

Episode 2 was good. Haruka was able to stay away from the delinquents but also spy on them. They're planning to use another student's skill so they can do whatever they want. After Haruka returned to his base and tried to sleep, noise made it impossible. After investigating, the nerd group was fighting a group of goblins. He was going to help before seeing they were higher level than himself and had good gear too. Although, he spotted two goblins sneaking up on them from behind, so helped out. Haruka took them back to his base and fed them while they recounted what happened since they got there.

The kids were kind of freaking out, and Touka tried to unify them. When goblins came to attack, they got freaked out except hte nerds. The nerds took half and the jocks seeing the nerds do their work also took out the other half. With that, Touka unified the students to build a camp site. Things fell apart when the gals decided they didn't want to work, and others followed suit. The nerds were levelling up and helping out at the camp basically doing all the heavy lifting then found out the delinquents were planning some forced harem with the skills they picked: puppeteer and charm. They let Touka know so they were aware and a few days later the delinquents got their skills with Touka happening upon them. They were about to use the skills on her, but the nerds came in time and seemingly sealed their skills. The delinquents were driven out once everyone was told about their plot, but they returned and attacked the camp. The gals and some other students blamed the nerds, but Touka and some others stuck up for them. The group was kind of fractured as a result.

The next day, the nerds let Haruka know of their plan to go into town and start out being adventurers, although he declined to go with them thinking he'd just hold them back. Haruka went looking for the others and stumbled upon the gals who noticed him. They were very apologetic and wanted to apologize to the nerds. During the process of vetting them, Haruka accidentally made them his followers with subjugation. At the end, Touka also stumbled upon him. The delinquents are plotting to go back and take the girls while taking out whoever is in their way.

 

Episode 3 was good. Turns out, it wasn't just Touka that found Haruka, but the rest of the girls turned up too. He had a tough time explaining subjugation lol. Haruka got roped into helping all the girls and they went to his house to stay, while he camped out. They were initially really bad at fighting, even got beat by lower level kobolds despite their higher levels. After training against goblins, they were then able to defeat the kobolds. Haruka even picked up lightning magic from one of the girls, due to using his abilities on her magic. Haruka has now been roped into going to town with them all. At the end, it seems like one of the students killed another to take their skill.

 

Episode 4 was good. The group of girls and Haruka continued towards the down, even going up against a tougher monster. The Jocks warned Haruka about the delinquents and a skill that someone had, which allowed them to kill people and take their skills. It turns out that Touka has this skill, so Haruka isn't worried. Although it seems like the skill that male student had where he seemingly killed another student to take his skill. Making it out of the forest, Haruto makes sure it's all clear. He spots some native people surrounded by monsters. Touka wants to help but Haruka thinks they're being too naive, and they could be bandits which is true. Touka's offer is to go help anyway, but she's willing to fight if they are bad people. Given that none of the girls could make it quick enough, Haruka uses a combination of skills to fly there quickly, and Touka gets dragged along into things. The crash landing took out the monsters and saved the people who were very grateful. The other girls arrived soon after and the group proceeded into town. At the end, it seems like the delinquents have finished preparing and are off to find the girls, but the first step is to get their skills unsealed, as suggested by the person they seemingly were harassing at the start. Seems like the tables are turned though, and he's pretending and using the delinquents. He wants the skills to be unsealed to steal them I guess.

 

Episode 5 was good. Arriving in the city, Touka already set things out for the group. Initially, when they made it to the adventurer's guild, they were a bit intimidated, but things eased up quickly. The girls all became adventurers, but poor Haruko couldn't due to his level. There's even a rule that non-adventurer's can't leave the city if they came from outside it. Seems a bit dumb. Haruko had a haul of items to sell for a lot of money though, which was nice. Haruka and Touka were lead out by one of the people they rescued to a sketchy looking store. There was one item which could combine with multiple others which Haruka had the idea of using in a specific way. Unfortunately, Touka's interaction with him caused him to screw up and merge a bunch together. It ended up costing all of the money he had made from selling items thus far (8 million), even with the knocked down price. Haruka wanted to go with the girls, but Touka refused so he's forced to stay behind. He tried running free but took the cloak that made him invisible off too early so his cover was blown. Attempt 2 was successful, once the girls left. Haruka tried to ignore everything to get back to the woods, but ended up saving Merielle, the daughter of the lord of the town he escaped from. So he's back to the spot he fled from at her insistence to treat him well for saving her. At the end, the jocks and delinquents were to fight, but looks like one of the delinquents were back stabbed by the other student.

 

Episode 6 was good. Started out with the delinquents all being killed before the jocks tried to fight off the attacker. Haruka got rewarded by Merielle with a large feast, money and also a form of ID allowing him free travel in and out of the Town. Very good for him. The girls are very suspicious of Haruka being invited to the lord's house. The girls left again, with Touka warning him not to leave again. When out, Haruka finds a trail of blood and footprints and finds the jocks. They're beaten down bad and seemingly on death's door, but with his mushroom potions, he was able to save them. The jocks had figured out that Touka has the hijack skills but were fine with her having it. They figured it out, as the person that attacked them is looking for her/that skill. Haruka said he'll deal with the person alone and told them to flee back to town to protect the girls. The girls were getting increasingly worried about Haruka due to his long absence. With some higher level monsters nearby, Haruka decided to fight them to try and level up to give himself an edge. The goblins didn't pose much problem, but also didn't help him level up. A Goblin King was next, which was a little challenge, but still didn't have him level up. A level 50 Goblin Emperor was next. It took all he had, but Haruka was able to pull a win using skills he made up. It allowed him to level up and gain more skills. Haruka returned to his home and the enemy made himself known. The student that was seemingly bullied by the delinquents was behind it. He caused the students to split in the start. Fighting Tanaka is going to be tough. The girls returned and found the jocks. The jocks told the girls about Haruka fighting alone.

 

Episode 7 was good. So, as soon as the class was summoned into the room to choose skills, Tanaka had this planned out. His own still was clone to copy other skills for a finite number of uses. So he had copies of all of the OP skills. His plan was to kill Touka after copying her skill to then stealing the original with it. There was a few times when it seemed like Haruka would be done in, but he was able to barely come out on top. The nerds founds him after he won when it seemed like he might die and healed him up. They got him back to town for a reunion with everyone. Poor Haruka got chewed out a bit.

 

Episode 8 was good. Haruka got a bit rewarded but also a lot lectured from his recklessness. Merielle came forth with worrying news of a group of orcs attacking. Haruka took them out while the girls and some other adventurer's were waiting for them to appear. Haruka had no luck with getting the ring that "makes people like you more" so he went to interrogate that odd shop keeper for intel. He got chewed out once everyone realised he took the Orcs out. Touka had the nerds spy on Haruka to see what he was up to and they found out about him targeting the ring. They caught up to him to question him, but Haruka just went faster to the dungeon to make sure he got it. With his luck skill, he ended up falling to the 101st floor and now is confronting the Dungeon Emperor and it's rough at level 100. The other students are 40-odd floors deep and are determined to help Haruka after his fall.

 

Episode 9 was great. Merielle warns of another impending scenario from the dungeon. The guild are preparing. Back with Haruka, he's trying his best to counter the boss and do damage, but it's too strong/fast. He's loving the combat though. Haruka noticed two things, the boss wasn't trying to kill him and his staff also was causing the miasma around it to dissipate due to the holy affinity it has. The boss was being controlled by the miasma and wanted him to kill it. Once the miasma was dispursed the battle was over but Haruka couldn't bring himself to kill it like it wanted, but he ended up subjugating it. Turned out to be a girl named Angelica too lmao. When Angelica was subjugated, the level was also reset back to 1. Now the process of making it back to the top of the dungeon began. First up was a living armour boss at level 100, then when he tried to break through to another level, two level 99 minotaur were there lmao. Thanks to his luck, they KOed each other and he got some easy pickings. Angelica scored some armour out of it.

Back with the other group descending to find Haruka, they're on level 50 and ran into a cyclops, which is trouble with four arms. Next was a Lich which Haruka dealt with thanks to the the staff's holy magic. After that were some moths which he used a small flame to attract them, then turned it large to kill them. Caterpillars were next, which he steam rolled. A level 100 sword boss was on floor 95 after that. Haruka was in a bind, then tagged in Angelica who beat it in one blow. Even though she's level 1, she's broken.

The other students were having it rough, and the class rep was going to give up. The jock and nerd Kakizaki and Oda came up with a plan. Kakizaki was the bait while Oda took it out. Looks like a monster horde is on the move wihtin the dungeon.

 

Episode 10 was great. Things are getting dire for the village and the guild. The guard that was keeping watch outside the dungeon saw the monsters running out. He quickly ran and informed the guild, so they are making their stand for the stampede. Apparently, the only way to stop the stampede is to defeat the dungeon boss, which Haruka has already done, except he didn't kill Angelica. Merielle has pinned Haruka as the only person with a chance to put a stop to it, so she has been tasked to tell him while the rest of them try and protect the village. Haruka and Angelica continue their trek in reverse from the bottom to the top. Haruka has gotten a lot of good hauls of treasure on the way up. He ended up giving them to Angelica and seemingly she's in a human form again. While Haruka is strugglign but slowly making his way up, the class has fought off werewolves and is making their way down.

The luck skill strikes again, and Haruka and Touka both end up near the hole he fell through and Touka notices his voice. Merielle also luckily arrives at the same time so they convey the situation to Haruka. Ofter is very insistent on Haruka killing the boss (Angelica) to stop the stampede but Haruka wants to find another way.

 

Episode 11 was good. The adventurer's were putting up a tough fight against the second wave. Switching over, the group of students and Haruka step it up to meet up faster, with the growing sense of urgency. Angelica is doing wonders for Haruka. Haruka was also pretty warn out, and Angelica wanted him to rest but he insisted on moving on. A monster put him to sleep, so she carried him further. The group of students ended up against a level 100 sphynx which was rough. Haruka arrived in time to remove the ability that kept it from taking damage and Angelica killed it. Haruka almost fell again, but luckily he prepared for it this time... only to fall again. Thankfully, the class rep saved him. With that, the group teleported out of the dungeon and made it back to town. Angelica was able to teleport all of the monsters back to the dungeon saving the town. He also sold the equipment he got from the dungeon to the students.

 

Episode 12 was good. Haruka finally introduced Angelica to the others, in full, as a skeleton. Touka wasn't too impressed with hte use of the subjugate skill. The girls pretty quickly roped Angelica into a bath with them and were surprised to see her having become human again. Haruka gained 6 levels from the dungeon expedition and levelled up skills too. When Haruka and Angelica were leaving to go back to the cave, Touka was going to tell him about her having a human body again, but she ended up letting them go. Haruka was in for a shock when he joked about her bathing with him and then she came in. Angelica got her body back literally just because of the rings/magic items that Haruka gave her, that luck skill is putting in work. She was super grateful but is unable to talk yet. Haruka trained a bit with her going full on, and it was a tough one for him, but it's helping him. After a hotpot meal and massage from Angelica, Haruka decided to go back to the town, as that's what was best for her. She was able to talk finally too!

Very enjoyable.
