Akira Oda and his high school classmates are summoned to another world! While other students receive cheat abilities through the summoning, Akira only acquires the skills of a mediocre “assassin.” Nevertheless, his status soon outshines “hero,” the most powerful profession. After Akira grows suspicious of the King responsible for the summoning, he is falsely accused of a crime and compelled to escape.
