"Have you calmed down?" 

'Yes, I've calmed down, but... why did this happen?'

"When we tried to transfer the entire class, including you, to a different world, you were the only one who failed."

Failed? Was there something wrong?

The boy in front of me placed his hand on his mouth and began to explain, almost as if he was about to burst into laughter.

"Hehe! The reason is... You were standing in a position where the teleportation magic circle's effect either worked or didn't work, and... hahaha! Also, you were clinging to the edge of the blackboard, which hindered the teleportation... hahaha! Holding onto doors and desks was something I had anticipated, so I incorporated it into the magic circle's design, but I didn't expect that, so it wasn't included in the program... Hehe! As a result, the teleportation itself was successful, but your body and soul became separated and were transferred to different places."

I see, I understand why it happened now.

'So, where did my body go?'

"It disappeared after the transfer between worlds. I tried to retrieve it, but I couldn't quite make it... I'm really sorry."

To die even before my adventure in the other world begins... What a cruel bad end it is!!

"Just so you know, in your current state, I can hear your thoughts, so you have to be careful."

'Huh?! Is that so?'

"Yes. Since you don't have a physical body, your thoughts are transparent. But anyway, let's get to the main point soon. Time is running out."

He took out a crystal from nowhere and made it float in the air. From within the crystal, I saw a continent I had never seen before.

"To explain the previous story in detail, you were supposed to transfer with the class to this continent, Gailas's Miniature Garden on the northern continent. ...But because of what you did, the transfer couldn't be completed."

'Uh... How embarrassing.'

"And so, since it's impossible to return to your original world, I'm thinking of reincarnating you near where your classmates are. How about it? Do you want to go to where your classmates are?"

'No, I refuse!'

"I thought so. I knew you wouldn't want that."

It seems that the god understands the reasons why I don't want to. Did he investigate me or something?

"You don't want to meet them, huh? You didn't get along well with them."

That's right, as the god said, I didn't get along with my classmates. If I had to choose, I'd rather go to the depths of hell than go to the same world as them! Besides, I'm not an RPG person, I'm more into FPS games! Ah... I want to go back and continue playing that VRMMO. Well, my body has disappeared, so I can't play VRMMO anymore.

"I see... I understand."

Hmm? The god started doing something with the crystal. Maybe he's investigating something about me?

The god murmured, "Hmm, I see," and then placed his hand on his chin, contemplating for a while. Then he said, "Alright!" and turned towards me.

"I'll make it possible for you to use the weapons and vehicles from the FPS game you were obsessed with in your reincarnated form! Of course, with your FPS game data intact!"

'...What do you mean?'

"In the case of your classmates, I transferred them as RPG players in Gailas's Miniature Garden, but in your case, I'll make you an FPS player and reincarnate you!"

'What? Can you really do something like that?'

"With my power, I can."

'Hooray!! Oh, but the location is a problem... Will I go to the same place as my classmates?'

"It's the same world, but the place of reincarnation is different. If you were to travel from your place of reincarnation to where your classmates are, it would take more than four months but less than five months. So it won't be easy to meet them."

Being able to use my favorite guns and ride my favorite vehicles is enticing. If I meet my classmates... well, if I do, I'll just have to deal with it myself. Actually, I don't think anyone will try to meet me! Somehow, I'm starting to feel like I want to go to another world!

'Please! Reincarnate me as an FPS player, not an RPG player!'

"Very well. Before the reincarnation, I'll explain some things you need to be aware of."

'Yes!'

"First, I'll prepare the data from the VRMMO you played and a body that resembles your previous one. Once those are ready, it's just a simple task of incorporating your soul into the body. However, there's a problem."

'A problem...?'

"Yeah, that problem is... you won't be able to use any magic, and you won't be a hero anymore."

'I won't be able to use any magic... Is it because that game doesn't have magic and heroes?'

"That's right. But on the other hand, there are some advantages."

'Not being able to use magic... but there are advantages? What do you mean?'

"Well... it means that status abnormalities caused by magic won't affect you! No matter how powerful paralysis or curses are, they won't work on you! Oh, but be careful, attack magic still works."

'Alright, I understand!'

"I'll explain the rest after the reincarnation, so don't worry. Oh, and it's a personal request, but I hope you can save this world since you'll be a hero. That's what I'm thinking. I think it'll be fine because they are heroes too."

...Am I really okay with them being the heroes? I still have my doubts.

"Well then, let's begin. Are you ready?"

'I'm ready!'

"Great! Reincarnation starts now!"

After the god said that, I started feeling drowsy. Before losing consciousness, I heard a faint voice saying, "Do your best..."

 〜〜〜 The God's Perspective 〜〜〜

"...Phew, it's finally over. I was really nervous, as expected."

Well, I never imagined that the transfer would fail in such a way. We need to review the magic circle. Next time, we should make sure that even if someone clings to the blackboard, they can still be transferred... Hm?

"Um, Lord Gailas... Has his reincarnation finished?"

She is Goddess Meltenas, the one responsible for causing this situation. Well, I kept it a secret from him for a smooth ending.

"It's finished. And didn't I tell you before? That transfer magic circle doesn't become stronger the more magic power you pour into it, like normal magic."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

She's reflecting, but she doesn't seem to realize the gravity of the situation. I should explain it to her.

"Really, you... This time, it was fortunate that Kuramoto-kun's soul ended up here. But if things had gone wrong, his soul could have completely vanished in the realm between worlds."

"Yes."

"Moreover, our role with that transfer magic is only to adjust things. If I hadn't noticed and intervened, the entire school building would have been transferred into a castle, destroying the destination castle. Or worse, the children, including Kuramoto-kun, could have disappeared along with their souls due to your magic power."

Her face turned pale. It seemed she had realized the grave mistake she was about to make.

"Be more careful from now on. Now, get back to work."

"Yes... I understand."

She returned to her workplace, dejectedly.

Well, this time it ended relatively smoothly.

There was a time before when another goddess accidentally caused the death of someone. However, that person required abilities on par with ours and demanded to have all skills available in their second life. To top it off, they asked for a huge amount of money after reincarnation.

Well, that person passed away a long time ago. And we rather abruptly ended their second life.

"Hehe, he was an interesting person. He forgot along the way that I could hear his thoughts... Well, it's about time he arrived, I guess... Wait, huh?"

This is strange, why did it turn out like this... Oh!?

"I wonder if he'll be angry with me?"

At that moment, the god realized his mistake. But it was too late to turn back now.
