Volume 1 Chapter 5 Let's Go to the Dungeon
"Alright, just as I thought! At this time, I can still join the 'Seeker Training Course'!"
Before I was transported to another world, I, like everyone else, admired being a 'Dungeon Seeker' and did a lot of research.
That said, back then I had given up, thinking "I have no talent, so it's impossible."
"Okay, let's hurry and go take the training course! I'm going to dive into the dungeon and live as a Seeker!"
But now, I had 'one possibility' that I could become a Seeker.
I thought of this after the goddess told me, "If you go back to your original world, you will be reset to level one."
"Wait a minute? Even if my level is level '1', won't the 'martial art' I learned in the other world not reset?"
Right.
I realized that even if I might become level one, the martial art I had learned would still work in this world.
"In the other world, I reached level 120, the highest for humans, and I trained with these martial art a lot. If my martial art don't reset, I think I can do fine as a Seeker here!"
So, I headed to 'Ikebukuro' to join the 'Seeker Training Course' that I must definitely take to become a Seeker.
The 'Seeker Training Guild' giving this course is a bit far from the hospital I'm in, but it's close to my home.
By the way, the 'Seeker Training Course' can be taken by anyone from high school age and up.
Here, the 'Ikebukuro dungeon', only weak monsters appear, the floors are shallow, and there is no dungeon boss, so nowadays, who knows, it has come to be called the 'Seeker training dungeon'.
Those who want to become a Seeker must enter this 'Seeker training dungeon' and aim to reach 'level 2' to be recognized as a 'Seeker.'
Of course, you don't have to enter the dungeon right away, as it's not compulsory.
It's a freedom.
"Well, I'll be diving into the dungeon soon!"
After all, the current 'me' has the 'martial arts (advantage)' that I used in the other world.
Motivation is MAX.
By the way, when I reach 'level 2', I will get a 'registration certificate' that proves I am an 'F class Seeker' from the 'World Seeker Guild Association Japan branch' that leads all the Seeker guilds in the country, and I will be able to explore dungeons freely.

Right now, I am on a bus heading to the 'Seeker Training Guild' in Ikebukuro.
On the bus, I was looking at the Japanese scenery from the window for the first time in 5 years and thinking about many things.
"It's been 5 years since I transported to another world... And I returned to Japan, the same place as 5 years ago before I transported."
I don't really know if this is Japan from 5 years ago or not.
But if I woke up in that accident scene wearing a school uniform, then this must be... Japan from 5 years ago before I transported.
"Still, my mom seemed okay, but what do my little sisters think about me? I remember saying some mean things to her before I transported. The school must have told her about my accident, but I wonder if she is worried about me..."
Thinking about such things made me scared to go home again.
"N-no, stop! I won't think about my family right now!"
So, I tried to think about something else right away.
Then,
"Speaking of which, I had never been bullied until middle school..."
I remembered things before I shut myself away 5 years ago.
I was never bullied until I was in junior high school.
Besides, my original personality is not that of a person who would think about suicide.
On the contrary, I was often relied on by my friends.
A friend from junior high school said, "Takeru-shi is always calm and collected, so I always rely on him."
"I mean, I guess I was the one who relied on my friend from middle school (that guy) the most... Well, I guess that's just how he was."
When I remember my middle school friend, I can't help but smile and mumble to myself in the car.
...but then I realize, "Oh no!?" and quickly cover my mouth.
"Oh no... talking to myself in the bus makes me look weird! I hope nobody is looking at me weird..."
I am a sensitive high school student.
