Those who were lurking and listening to our conversation suddenly started talking after seeing the group chat prompt.
8man: Another anomaly, this time it's a D rank. I don't think I can help with this one.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Quit with your bullshit, Hikigaya. Anyone who has met you knows that your capability is way above that level. Why are you acting weak?
8man: I don't know what you're talking about women, I'm honestly not strong.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Talking to you makes my blood pressure rise, even though I don't really have any blood in me, that's how irritating you are to me, Hikigaya-kun.
8man: I'll take that as a compliment.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: It's not a compliment you fool! Anyway! Who is available at the moment?
SpecialistWinter: I'm available.
Bell Cranel: Sorry! My familia is currently doing its first dungeon expedition, and I'm going to be really busy for the next week or so!
(👑)Raiden Makoto: There's no need to apologize, Bell-kun. Like I said, those who are available should join the quest; no one is forcing anyone to participate.
8man: Then I should take this one out.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Except for you! I know for a fact that you have near-unlimited time, so use some of it for something productive, will you?!
8man: What are you, my mom?! What's with this favoritism?!
The two continued to insult one another before I commented.
MartialARTish: I'm available too, I'm confident that I can at least handle this level of threat.
SpecialistWinter: With your aura unlocked, at least you're guaranteed to survive.
I wasn't sure if I should be happy or angry with that statement; it's quite a backhanded compliment. But I don't think she even realized that.
She believes I had the means to survive, but anything else was hopeless.
I realized that Winter is really bad with words; it's not uncommon for people to misunderstand her.
MadHorseScientist: I'll pass, I have a race to compete in this noon.
So 2 members were out, but there's still one more member who hasn't replied.
Karsten Heiress: Forgive me for my ignorance, but what exactly is this quest all about?
And here she is, though it's understandable that she asked since she's new.
It took a few minutes to fully explain the summary to her, which she accepted quite clearly.
Karsten Heiress: I see, so we're going to be sent to another world to eliminate this 'anomaly' that would cause chaos in this specific worldline, correct?
(👑)Raiden Makoto: That's right, so are you available? Normally, I wouldn't recommend this to a newbie, but since you're someone who obtained an SSR item, it should be enough qualification for you to join a D rank threat.
Karsten Heiress: Unfortunately I can't join, as much as I want to. I have a lot of meetings scheduled today. As interesting as it is to go to another world to enforce justice, I'm not available at the moment.
Is it really the case? Or is it just an excuse for her not to participate?
Either way, I'd never know what she's thinking. I can't read her mind from here after all.
In the end, there are 4 of us who are available for the quest; however, there are only 3 slots available.
As for Hikigaya, he was more or less forced to participate.
But before the group chat countdown ends, the group would randomly select a group member whether they are willing or not.
4 of us kept it simple and left it to luck, and how we did it was simple; it was through a mini lottery wheel, which I didn't know existed, and it was clear that this wasn't the first time they tried this. In the wheel were our nicknames written.
The rules were simple: the first 3 participants who get picked by the wheel's arrow will be the ones who join the quest.
And the result was.
Winter, me, and Hikigaya.
Makoto 'won' but wasn't happy at all, because Hikigaya was out of her grasp; she couldn't punish him without meeting him in real life.
SpecialistWinter: I'm looking forward to meeting you guys, especially you @MartialARTish since you have an aura. I'm going to teach you how to use it properly.
MartialARTish: I'm looking forward to it.
8man: Why me?
Unfortunately, no one could answer that; if he wanted to blame anyone, it was Makoto and his luck.

The air became different, I was no longer in my room, which has a limited space, and now I was in an open area.
I looked around and saw two other individuals near me, from their appearance, it was obvious that they were Winter and Hikigaya.
Winter's appearance screams high-ranking; there's this commanding aura around her that makes you unconsciously straighten up.
And now her eyes were into mine, her face is similar between her 2D self, but has more details and life to it.
There's no doubt that she is extremely beautiful, and she combines it with her unique white hair and sky-blue eyes.
It was the perfect combination, not to mention that perfectly fit body of hers and modest-sized breasts.
She really won the genetic lottery; her mother's genes were going strong, meanwhile, her younger sister only managed to receive the face and skipped the body.
Winter was checking me from head to toe, as if trying to uncover something, then finally she spoke. "Are you MartialARTish?"
I nodded at her words and answered. "That's correct, but you can call me Hiroki. It's weird to be called by my username."
Winter didn't hide her surprise after confirming my identity. "You are quite different from Agnes' description, if I recall she mentioned you had blonde hair and were shorter than you are."
I let out a chuckle at that. "That's old news, I dyed my hair back to black and had a continuous growth spurt, which I'm sure isn't finished yet."
Winter looked at him with appreciation. "I'm not complaining, in my opinion you are better looking than your previous description."
"Thank you."
Then she took a step closer to me, which made me realize how tall this woman was, but considering Atlas is the Russian version of Earth, her height was completely average.
5'8 was normal, although she's 5'9 if you include her heels.
Winter gave her hand, I instinctively gave mine and we shook our hands.
"It is an honor to finally meet you face to face."
"Same."
Compared to Agnes, Winter was more polite and formal, but it's not surprising considering her career and upbringing.
"Great, it's good that you finally met each other, but I think you're forgetting someone."
Our attention briefly went to the source of the voice, and I finally saw Hikigaya Hachiman in real life and couldn't help but be surprised. 'This is what they call a creepy and average face? What the hell, that's no average appearance.'
True, his eyes were intimidating, but they surprisingly blend well with his overall appearance.
If I were to describe it, his look would be that of an antagonist from a novel, dangerous, intimidating, and oddly attractive.
It must have to do with his current charisma, the perfect villain of a story.
In contrast with his role, which is the protagonist of a rom-com novel.
The irony, if only it's a fantasy book then there's no doubt he'll be the antagonist.
"You must be Hikigaya, it's nice to meet you too." I went closer to him and gave him a hand, which he took surprisingly.
Here I thought he'd refuse, considering his prior personality, but then again, he became different due to a certain circumstance.
Which was becoming a member of the group chat.
"Are you sure you're 14?" Hikigaya couldn't believe it. I could understand where he's coming from, as we're almost at the same height.
I'm 14 biologically, with a height of 5'5, while he's at 5'6, and is 17 years old.
"Technically I'm almost 15," I said with a smirk, to which he rolled his eyes at me.
"Like that changes everything, anyway, we should think of a plan now, if my hunch is correct, our target is in this very location." Hikigaya stared at the massive entrance in front of him.
Above the entrance was the sign of U.A High School.
The anime was one thing, but seeing U.A in real life is different after all. To think this is a high school, if I didn't know any better I thought it was an entrance to a miniature city.
Because the damn place is massive.
I could only imagine the resources that were used to create this school, not to mention the enormous cost.
"A school..?" Winter looked thoughtful upon seeing U.A High.
"At least we're not in a world where the timeline is in the medieval age, I don't really like remembering that time of my life." Hikigaya did not like being sent to worlds where the greatest invention of that era was a wheel.
I wonder when I would experience that kind of thing, you heard it right I said 'when' not 'if' because it's guaranteed that I'd be in a similar world in the future.
"Anyway, before we could start anything in this world. We should find an internet cafe." Hikigaya said.
"And why exactly is that?"
Hikigaya stared at my eyes directly and said, "Think about it, this is a modern world where you can't do anything without an official ID, which is why we need one and create that. I have to find a working wifi so that I can hack the government and make us a real ID."
I realized that he was right, but how exactly would he hack the government files?
And later on, it didn't take long for me to find out.
