My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's
Ansatsusha de Aru Ore no Status ga Yuusha yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi no da ga
Summary
Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don't fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy—the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?

00:00Shadow magic. Activate.
00:31Reel him in!
00:51Akira!
01:00Stay calm.
01:25That one takes a rather heavy toll, doesn't it?
01:30It's everybody okay?
01:34Yeah. And all because of you.
03:13Your work in the dungeon was astounding. You saved our lives back there.
03:17You're the one who helped me wrangle my magic, when it nearly made me lose control while training.
03:24In the interest of being perfectly honest, I'd never heard of the Shadow Magic bonus skill before.
03:30It's clearly very powerful, but it's also difficult to control and drains your energy.
03:35On that note, don't use it unless you truly must.
03:39Yeah, on the same page there.
03:41In any case, here I brought you a little gift.
03:45It's called a katana. The very first hero forged it with his own two hands.
03:53Shouldn't you give this blade to the new hero?
03:56He already has a holy sword.
03:58Besides, if he were to carry that, the king would absolutely take notice of it.
04:02I don't see why that would be an issue.
04:04Well, I sort of stole it from the royal armory.
04:08I accept.
04:15Got a name?
04:17Its name is engraved next to the hilt.
04:20Though I have no idea what it says.
04:22God of the Nightblade.
04:25There's more inscribed below.
04:28I pray this finds its way to you, my successor, and guides you in your hour of need.
04:36Hmph.
04:37Now I really want to meet this guy.
04:39That makes two of us.
04:40If only we could.
04:42By the way, speaking of the hero...
04:45Oh, right.
04:46The curse afflicting him is vicious, and we were sadly unable to dispel it.
04:56I may know who's responsible.
05:02Tsukasa Sato.
05:04You shall be a puppet.
05:06Doomed to life as a false hero.
05:15Tell me who you are.
05:16That solves the problem of the hero's curse.
05:19It's rather shameless of you to enter a lady's room without permission.
05:23Ladies don't control people with curses.
05:25That's witch territory.
05:27Why are you doing this?
05:30Everything I do is for his majesty.
05:33And what do you hope to achieve by following his orders?
05:41Everything I do is for the benefit of his majesty.
05:45Hmm.
05:56Priyusuke Oka.
05:59Sakura Inoue.
06:01Natsumi Sagata.
06:05Your guess was spot on, Commander Saren.
06:08I thought so.
06:09That means he's still up to the same old tricks.
06:12He?
06:14Wait a minute.
06:15You didn't reveal yourself to the princess, did you?
06:18I wanted to know the motive behind her actions.
06:21But she wouldn't give me a straight answer.
06:24A fruitless endeavor.
06:25As of now, she's merely the king's puppet.
06:30You should turn in and get some rest.
06:33Although, I would advise against sleeping in the royal castle.
06:36Why's that?
06:39The princess will proceed to curse everyone other than the hero.
06:43That said, she can't target you because she doesn't know who you are.
06:47In other words, she'll try to kill me instead.
06:50They're bound to search every nook and cranny of the castle for you.
06:53Guess I had it coming.
06:54But aren't you going to scold me for revealing myself?
06:57Not when it was merely a symptom of the folly of youth.
07:00It's the job of us adults to compensate for that.
07:03I've never heard that before.
07:07Wish my world had more adults like you.
07:09I have a grand solution.
07:10Take me with you when you return home.
07:12I'd love to see your world with my own eyes.
07:15You can show me around the place.
07:16Never mind.
07:17That sounds like a massive pain.
07:28Bit early for this much commotion.
07:31What's going on?
07:35Hey, Akira.
07:36I've been looking for you.
07:38Seems we successfully broke his curse.
07:41Sorry, just woke up.
07:43So, what's all the fuss?
07:44It's...
07:47Commander Saren.
07:56I...
07:57Don't believe it.
07:59Commander...
08:01Wake up.
08:05I don't get it.
08:07Who's responsible?
08:08Do us a favor and cut the theatrics.
08:11Recognize the dagger?
08:12You should because it's yours.
08:17Nonsense.
08:18Think back.
08:19You know my dagger.
08:20I knew you were suspicious all along.
08:21You go missing for a while, then conveniently show up for training?
08:25You appeared out of nowhere in the...
08:26Did the princess curse them as well?
08:28What were you doing before you joined us?
08:29Yeah, tell us!
08:31You're the obvious suspect.
08:33I've heard enough.
08:34You can't just accuse him of murder so carelessly.
08:37Why not?
08:39For the sin of killing our Knight Commander,
08:40you shall face justice and forfeit your life!
08:46So it's an old-fashioned set-up.
08:48Conceal presence!
08:50Activate!
08:52Find him!
08:53He can't have gotten very far!
08:56Here, Jili.
08:58Listen closely, Akira.
08:59I know who killed the Commander.
09:01The King's personal assassins, the Night Ravens.
09:04And they're after you as well.
09:06Hmm.
09:07Commander Saren left provisions for you in his room.
09:10Take them and get away from here.
09:12I got it.
09:15Akira.
09:16Watch your back.
09:19He must have known this was a possibility.
09:21Goodbye, Commander.
09:22I still can't believe Saren of all people went down so easily.
09:38I've hexed everyone except for the hero.
09:41Now all we need is an excuse to declare war in the east.
09:45We must mold those children into effective pawns for us.
09:49It won't be too long before that one brat is dead in a ditch.
09:52Even so, let's send the Night Ravens after him.
09:55Of course.
09:56Your every wish shall forever be my command, Your Majesty.
10:07Should you ever find yourself being hunted down, there's no better place to hide than a dungeon.
10:13Still, you must plan carefully, as you'll have limited access to water there.
10:19Oh, and you were hoping to learn about how you can level up your class, right?
10:23Again, a dungeon.
10:24The deeper you go, the stronger the foes you'll come across.
10:28Then why doesn't everyone do it?
10:30Because it's dangerous.
10:32Even concealed presence won't help you.
10:34That skill doesn't work on monsters that have a heightened sense of smell and hearing.
10:43Don't worry.
10:44If you manage to increase your assassination skill, you can mask your scent, footsteps, and even body heat.
10:50I've got a long way to go.
10:54All of these weapons are the same.
10:55It is soful.
10:56It will be worth your efforts.
10:57When your class finally reaches level 100, you'll gain a special skill.
11:00Something amazing.
11:01Guaranteed to help you survive in this world.
11:02It will be worth your efforts.
11:13When your class finally reaches level 100, you'll gain a special skill.
11:17Something amazing, guaranteed to help you survive in this world.
11:21How amazing are we talking?
11:22You'll start in the Cantonen Labyrinth.
11:25Try your best to fill the bosses.
11:26You'll encounter one on every 10th floor.
11:32Once you enter a boss room, you won't be able to leave.
11:40The door won't open until one of you is dead.
11:43If you win, you'll gain considerable growth in your abilities.
12:02If I die here, I'll never see home again.
12:18And I won't be able to avenge Commander Sari.
12:20I've got no choice.
12:30I'll have to go all out.
12:33Shadow magic.
12:36Activate.
12:42Destroy my enemy!
12:44The Master's injuries have exceeded acceptable parameters.
12:55Automatically engaging Shadow magic.
12:59Recovery mode.
13:01Healing requires use of emergency model stores.
13:04Accessing those now.
13:05What's this all about?
13:11Let me guess.
13:12You want us to fight the Demon King?
13:13That's exactly right.
13:15I'd like to set out at once.
13:16We're still in shock that Oda went mental and killed Commander Saren.
13:20So don't be an idiot.
13:22Is this the curse that Vice Commander Jile warned me about?
13:25So be it.
13:33I'll go it alone.
13:35I'm going with you.
13:42I'm going too.
13:43Same for me.
13:45You can count on me.
13:46And me.
13:47Me too.
13:51I'm surprised we got out so easily.
13:54Thank his majesty.
13:55He's the one who said we should fight the Demon King.
13:58It wouldn't make sense for them to try and stop us.
14:01Anyway.
14:01What made you all want to join me?
14:03That's a good question, Tsukasa.
14:05As far as I can tell, everyone you see here is free of the curse.
14:08Huh?
14:09Well, since I'm a disenchanter, I'm extremely resistant to curses.
14:13And I recently developed the ability to sense if those around me have been cursed.
14:17As for me, I believe something I did set me free.
14:21Though my memory of it is hazy, I recall breaking crystals in an unfamiliar room, using a katana I'd never seen before.
14:31My manipulation skill is even stronger than a curse, at least when it comes to controlling individual people.
14:39I've carried out Commander Saren's last wish, his final orders.
14:45Safe travels, heroes from another world.
14:48I need to talk to you, Akira.
14:53I should have made the effort a long time ago, back when you were still hiding amongst us.
14:57And, I should have defended you, cursed or not.
15:12Akira, right?
15:14That's me.
15:15And you're in my class, aren't you?
15:17Kiyosuke Asahina.
15:22So, about this job.
15:24You want to keep it a secret.
15:26Not a problem.
15:29I don't want anyone at school finding out, especially my little sister.
15:33She's a first year.
15:34Small world.
15:36How so?
15:38Look, my first year little sis.
15:40That's actually my sister posing with her.
15:45Wait, so you're Keika's big brother?
15:48I told you it was a small world.
15:54A dream about Kiyosuke.
15:57I hope he's surviving out there.
15:59And I hope Mom and Yui are keeping their bellies full.
16:03No pain.
16:05Status.
16:05My stats are higher.
16:08And wait, why is my HP gauge almost full?
16:12I was sure I'd broken at least three ribs.
16:15And the poison had spread through my legs.
16:17My shadow magic was level three.
16:19How could it have jumped two whole levels after just one use?
16:23Thinking back, that skill felt easier to control.
16:26Doesn't make sense.
16:28But I have to keep moving.
16:29It's a slime.
16:44This far down the dungeon.
16:52What the heck is this?
16:54She's an elf.
16:58And she has the prettiest face I've ever seen.
17:02Guess it's finally time to give that weird sounding skill a try.
17:06World eyes.
17:07Activate.
17:11Holy crap.
17:12Abort skill.
17:14I've never felt anything like that.
17:16That skill's way too dangerous.
17:19I should try to avoid using it.
17:20You're not injured, are you?
17:29No.
17:30I'm okay.
17:31You mean it?
17:32You're not just saying that.
17:34Saying?
17:36Forget it.
17:38I caught a glimpse of her stats for a moment.
17:41It's bad.
17:42Her health has dwindled down to barely two percent of her max HP.
17:45And she can also use the world eye skill.
17:49Where exactly are we?
17:52Floor 75 of the Cantonen Labyrinth.
17:54I see.
17:55So, what are you doing here, Akira?
17:57I'm trying to level up my class.
18:01I know you already saw my name.
18:03But we should still introduce ourselves.
18:06Hey.
18:08Knew it.
18:09You've got yourself a bad fever.
18:11Did the sound of your own tummy rumbling wake you up?
18:30Here.
18:31Have some water.
18:32Whenever you have a fever, it's important to hydrate and rest.
18:40You've also got to stay warm while you sleep.
18:43My belly's far too empty to sleep.
18:45Fine.
18:45I can take a hint.
18:47Fresh porridge.
18:49It's hot, so blow on it before you eat.
18:51Thanks.
18:51Thanks.
18:51With that appetite, you'll be fine.
19:01You're clearly very experienced at tending to the sick.
19:04My mother is in poor health, so I have a lot of practice.
19:07I see.
19:08Okay.
19:08You made those markings, right?
19:14What's it say?
19:1569.
19:17I leave a mark on every floor so I don't lose track.
19:20But you said we were on floor 75 earlier.
19:23Why did you come back here?
19:24Aren't you attempting to level up?
19:26I am, but this was the closest watering hole.
19:29So you carried me here?
19:30You didn't try anything weird, right?
19:32Absolutely not.
19:34Now, go back to sleep.
19:36Fine.
19:36You know, I'm actually royalty.
19:40I'm aware.
19:42I saw your status.
19:43Nobody's ever done this for me before.
19:46Is that so?
19:55She's a fast sleeper.
19:58I should try to catch some Zs myself with Detect Danger Active.
20:06Though I'm lying on stone, I feel so warm.
20:19You're completely healed now.
20:35Why are you following me?
20:36I just happen to be heading in the same direction.
20:39You do realize I never signed up to protect you.
20:42I'm well aware that you have superhuman strength.
20:45But I can protect myself, thank you very much.
20:47I'm trying to carry on.
20:58A dragon!
21:01Concealed presence!
21:04Gravity!
21:06Now!
21:08The beast is tracking you by tracing your mana!
21:14No! Defuse your magic into your surroundings!
21:18That's impossible!
21:23Nothing left to lose. Try this out for size!
21:34Akira!
21:35Akira!
21:42Akira, what was that?
21:45I'm not quite skillful enough to defuse my mana, so I improvised.
21:50Instead, I used the mana around me.
21:53You have that kind of power?
22:02What the...
22:05Watkins You
22:11On向上HE
22:14Lights out
22:16Even with no limbs
22:21You can see through you
22:24Even if you've hidden back to yourproblem
22:27Keep yourself alive
22:30再び回る
22:32What keeps you groaning like gravity?
22:41Where can I go?
22:47We can't resist, you and I
22:51We're falling down like gravity
22:54I'm looking for a dream
22:57I'm going to wander

23:05Your heart is yours
23:11Just so you know that there is always room for you and I
23:17What keeps you groaning like gravity?
23:25Where can I go?
23:27Where can I go?
23:30I'm looking for a dream
23:32We can't stand on like gravity
23:35It can't resist to the ilser
23:39What keeps you groaning like gravity?
