Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells

- -

How long you gonna take to eat your food?

You're an eyesore!

Damn evil-looking, snot-nosed brat!

- -

Dad, I'm really sorry.

-I can't hear you, crybaby! -

- -I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

- -I'm sorry.

- Oyamada! -Hm.

Stop. That's enough!

Now give it back!

"Everyone's calling it this year's greatest romance!"

Well, dang!

So, you're one of those sweets-for-brains

who likes reading romance novels, huh, Ayaka?

Is that a problem?

Ugh. What's the problem

are these pages!

My eyes just slide right off without the line breaks.

A beautiful view.

It helps expand our imagination

outside our daily lives.

You should enjoy it as well, Itsuki.

-Look. - Good point.

I am, Sis. I see it all.

Ah. What should I do here, huh?

We were on a field trip,

and the overstimulated Oyamada

started teasing the class prez.

Our other classmates kept their heads down

while the "elites" laughed away.

The only ones acting normal were the Takao sisters

and our apathetic teacher.

So, yeah.

I'd look pretty cool if I made a noble attempt to intervene.

But "air" like me would waft in with all the sway

of a gentle breeze.

Total effect? Zero. Nada. Nothing.

Hm. Please cut it out!

This isn't funny!

It's like I said, you'll get your smut as soon as

-you gimme your info! -Will you quit?

-Just give it back! -Come on, man. It's her book.

Huh.

-Wha... -

Huh. Touka Mimori.

Playin' the hero today?

The question is why?

What's gotten into you?

I-I mean, look at her.

Sogou seems really upset over it.

Too cool! Way too cool!

The "air-man" is finally staging a revolt!

That what this little stunt is about?

Mimori, you...

Give it back to her, Shougo.

Hm.

Was kinda gettin' old anyway.

We'd have more fun teasin' Mimori

who thinks he's hot stuff now!

No. I would rather not.

Mimori is air.

He doesn't interest me at all.

Whoa! Below-freezing levels of cold, dude!

Sheesh! I doubt I'd ever be as icy as you!

But then, that's just one of the differences between us.

End this song and dance with the book,

and I can ignore your fun with Mimori.

Whatever you do, do it quietly.

Classic, Kirihara.

That should put an end to this nonsense, right?

Ah, my bad, Sogou.

I guess I got a little bit carried away there.

- -Let's shrug it off, yeah?

- -

Hey, Yasu!

Even air went above and beyond to trigger a cutscene,

so why are you, the bottom of the 2-C hierarchy,

acting like nothing's happening

when it clearly is?

-That's cold, you know! - Oyamada.

Give it a rest.

Making him kill himself won't help anyone.

If you do it, Yasu, wait till I'm not your teacher.

Fine. I'll hold back. Happy?

It was pretty out of character for me.

Must've been that dream.

That's why I'm acting noble.

Thanks to Mimori,

the backdrop to my fun field trip has turned

-real frosty all of a sudden. -

You people are seriously raining on my parade!

...of Goddess Vicius' light,

-manifest here in Alion. - Where are we?

- A dream? - Some kind of prank?

Or neither.

Greetings, young heroes,

our only hope of striking down evil.

I am the Goddess, Vicius,

and I welcome you all.

Here in Alion, whenever the vast evil

known as the Great Demon Empire appears,

we summon heroes from another world.

Roughly 200 years ago,

the efforts of the heroes saw this evil defeated,

but the empire gained strength over time

-and has resurfaced. -

You are the chosen heroes now.

So, please, lend us your powers as your predecessors did.

We're in another world?

- I guess? -It's all just a dream,

-you clowns. - I'm not following

even a little.

Did we die in a bus crash or something?

No, it's gotta be a prank.

My cell isn't getting any signal, though.

Where's our stuff? I can't do my makeup.

Everyone, relax.

Your teacher's here, too.

And I'm confused as well.

For the time being, let's listen to what

the Goddess has to say.

I deeply thank you, sir.

Your help is welcome.

- - A big room

-made of stone. -

Ancient fire pots.

Soldiers with swords and spears.

And a Goddess with golden eyes.

This really is some other world.

Basically, all that we have to do

is defeat this Great Demon Empire?

Precisely.

And what if we decide not to help you?

You'll never be able to return to your world,

but that is your prerogative.

There is a way to return, then?

Correct.

The reverse summoning ritual

requires demon king essence to work, though.

There are two methods for obtaining that essence.

Just two.

One is to acquire the very source of it,

which is none other than the demon king's beating heart.

As for the second, you'd have to defeat

the demon king, releasing the essence,

which you'd then collect

with the crystal on this necklace.

Which is perfectly convenient on your end, right?

But this "Great Demon Empire"

has nothing to do with us, lady! Screw you!

Though this world is not your own,

I beseech you to save it.

O, righteous heroes that you are.

U-um... I have a few questions

-to ask you. - Yes?

Oh, I'm Ayaka Sogou, by the way.

You're very well-mannered, Miss Sogou.

What questions do you have for me?

Everyone you called is just a regular human,

as I'm sure you see.

You want us to be your "righteous heroes,"

but how can our class possibly help you?

We don't have the power to defeat an empire.

You do, though.

All of you wield powers no average human ever could.

Something feels really off.

Things changed the moment I summoned you.

- Bring them out. -Ma'am!

All right, lady!

Look. We know this is some prank,

and I'm already sick of your lame sense of humor!

That Goddess.

- -

I'm kind of scared.

- What is that? -

- A monster. -

- -

O, holy flame that drives away evil.

In the name of the Goddess, Vicius,

burn this mongrel to ash with the power of Fireball!

- -

Minamino!

I see.

The optimal choice at present is to view this

as not just a different world,

but as a separate planet from our own altogether.

Come, brave heroes.

Let us reveal the skills hidden within you.

Step this way, one at a time.

Here goes.
