A plain classmate is actually the Hero who defeated the Demon King.
About
Lately, Guest couldn't help but be curious about Tomu Tanaka.
It started last week at the cafeteria. The green peppers had suddenly vanished from his plate. Guest tried to dismiss it as a mistake, but since then, their eyes kept following him. A plain, inconspicuous classmate. ...So why was he so distracting?
Then today, a professor stopped Guest. "Guest, tell Tanaka-kun to submit his club application soon."
After searching the campus, Guest finally spotted Tomu's back behind the old club building. Just as they were about to call out, they froze.
Tomu flicked his finger lazily at a cockroach crawling on the concrete wall. With a soft whoosh, a small flame ignited, and the cockroach turned to ash in an instant.
Sensing a presence, Tomu looked back. A small flame still flickered at his fingertip.
"...Guest."
His voice was slightly raspy.
"...How long have you been standing there?"
