Exiled in a Class Trial for “Poor Dexterity”.

The lightning from the heavens came down without warning.

The power of the lightning is so great that the point of impact leaves a huge hole in the ground, as if a meteorite landed here.

Inside the hole, the vice principal and the Shinra carpenters, whose entire bodies have been charred, are lying in a heap of white smoke.

Behind them, the house they have been building explodes with a bang.

Screams raced through the crowd of students.

“What the hell happened? Lightning struck out of nowhere!”

“Did God really get mad at us?”

“But that wasn’t lightning magic, no matter how you look at it! It was God’s thunderbolt of judgment!”

Monaka is pacing left and right.

“This is bad! The saints can’t heal injuries caused by the Lightning of Judgment!”

We need a healer! We need the health teacher……!”

There is a great panic in the air.

In the midst of this, the dark clouds above my head begins to clear.

From between the clouds, a light like a ladder sent down by God appears and pours down on the house I built.

Kotone stood there and just stared at my house as it began to glow in the light.

“G-, God has approved ……!

This house is undoubtedly a Jinja (Shrine) ……!”

With a trembling voice, Kotone falls to her knees, hangs her head deeply, and begins to pray with her fingers clasped together.

I walk up to her, looking at the charred group being carried away in a stretcher.

“I see you like it.”

I say to her, and she looks up at me.

I am shocked.

I am surprised to see that her dark eyes are almost drowning in moisture.

Kotone jumps into my chest with a great emotion.

“Oh, thank you ……!　I didn’t know your master was capable of building a jinja. ……!”

“Well, it’s just a coincidence. God must have been in a good mood.”

I strok Kotone’s head, as I always do with Monaka.

The shiny black hair is soft and soothing to the touch, different from Monaka’s fluffy hair.

Kotone closes her eyelids and lets herself be pampered.

“Master’s hands …….are very, very gentle. ……”

But she comes to her senses and prostrates herself on the ground.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry for being so rude!”

“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about. ……”

“Oi, Leopin!”

I am suddenly shouted at from behind.

It is Tomoe, Kotone’s attendant.

Her long black hair is tied up in a ponytail, and she is wearing a hakama and a sword belt.

Tomoe, taking advantage of the fact that Kotone is down on her knees, grabbed me roughly by the collar.

“I want to talk to you! Come here, come here!”

Tomoe lifts me up with one hand and pulls me into the shadows of the rubble with a thud.

The hand that have been gripping my collar moves to my chest, and I am lifted up again.

Tomoe glares at me with a fierce glare.

“What the hell are you, ……?”

I answered as I was hung up.

“You know me, I’m just a jobless guy.”

“How can an unemployed person make Jinja? Tell me the truth!”

“With my skills, I’ve changed my job to ‘Shinra Carpenter’.”

I don’t tell anyone about my ‘dexterous job change’, which is my skill, because I know how this person will react.

“If you’re going to lie, lie better than that! There’s no way you have the skills to get a new job!”

Tomoe grabs me and shakes me.

“Since you appeared in front of Kotone, Kotone has been talking about you all the time!

And that’s not all! Whenever she wakes up in the morning and before she goes to bed at night, she always gets down on her knees in the direction of your house!”

“What, you want me to tell her to stop doing that?”

“No! No! Why would a horse-bone like you be able to monopolize the heart of Lady Kotone? (again, horse-bone is someone of dubious origin)”

Kotone has many fine masters wooing her. But she doesn’t care!”

“Do you know that?”

“In the first place, a horse-bone like you has no business talking to Kotone! If you understand, stay away from Kotone.”

Tomoe throws me off roughly.

“Good. This is the last warning! If you break it, my sword will not stand idly!”

She twists her waist and shows me the two swords she is carrying.

One is a bamboo sword and the other was a handmade wooden sword.

“Hey, wait a minute. What’s with the wooden sword?”

I suddenly jump on her waist, which makes her jump with fright.

“What? This wooden sword was bought at ……!”

“Hmmm. Hmmm… I didn’t know that the purchasing department sold such poor quality goods.”

I continue to look through the rubble.

“If that’s the case, whoever made it and whoever uses it, it will never improve.”

“What are you talking about? And what are you doing?”

“Just wait a minute.”

Oh, I find some Ogrewood. It’s not quite as good, but it’ll do.

I find a good length of Ogrewood, so I cut it with the Great Knife of the Wild Boar.

Tomoe gives me a strange look, as if she has just encountered a monster whose name she didn’t know and who is also creepy.

“What the heck is …… really going on here, you ……?”

“I told you, I’m just jobless. Okay, I got it.”

==========

Ogrewood Wooden Sword

Quantity 1

Quality Level 19 (Material Level 2 + Dexterity Bonus 5 + Occupation Bonus 12)

This wooden sword is made from Ogrewood.

Due to the various bonuses, it is easier to wield than conventional wooden swords, and has a higher attack power.

==========

I say , “Come on, use it.” Tomoe takes the wooden sword of Ogrewood in her hands with hesitation.

She takes the eastern sword stance and swings it down a couple of times from the top of her head.

“What an easy swing ……!　It’s like it’s part of my body. ……!”

“Isn’t that right?” I said, and Tomoe waves away her admiration as if ashamed of it.

“It’s easy to swing, so what? The power of the sword is what matters!”

“I see. Well then, try swinging it at this rock.”

I point to a waist-high rock right in front of me.

Tomoe laughs and says, “Ha!”

“You’re mistaking a wooden sword for a hammer or something! A rock will bounce off the weapon even if you’re serious! A wooden sword like this will just break!”

“I see. Well then, try to break it.”

When I say provocatively, Tomoe takes a stance in front of the rock

“You! You think I’m a powerless woman! I’ve broken countless pieces of wood like this, as well as the bones of those who courted Kotone.”

“Nnnn!” The wooden sword is swung with a lot of energy, and successfully cuts through the center of the rock.

However, the wooden sword is not damaged at all.

Eventually, a crack appears on the rock.

Tomoe’s eyes are wide open as the rock parts with a bang.

“E……eeeeeee!!!!”
