Dallas Reid

Before coming to the other world, I was a high school sophomore (17 years old), vice president of the archery club. She has a family of five, including her parents, an older sister, and an older sister, and her parents were nobles and priests in a country called Keruneon in another world. She was called to another world by a contract made by her parents, but was given only minimal blessings because of her appearance and was cast out to another world, but before that, she was assisted by the blessings of Tsukiyomi Mei.

Originally descended from another world (human) and trained to a certain degree, Shin has superhuman-class strength (according to Tomoe, his magical power alone is "*equivalent to that of several demon kings"*), free from any burden in another world, and can use magic of the five attributes, excluding the wind attribute, but he has no aptitude for recovery magic, including that which he himself receives. He has no aptitude at all for recovery magic, including his own. He is level 1 in the Adventurer's Guild, but as mentioned above, this is because his basic stats are too large, and even with his specialty, the bow, he initially destroyed the target when he shot it. His magical power has repeatedly increased through the "*diffusion and reorganization of consciousness*" by means of the concentration method used when training with the bow. The capacity of magical power is originally governed by the upper limit of one's innate capacity, but it seems that training to diffuse and reconfigure one's consciousness, as True does, is out of the realm of common sense. As a child, he inherited the traits of a human from his parents and always had a fear of death by his side. However, he met a woman who was a sorceress from the earth world, and by reconnecting and reinforcing the lines of magical attributes, he lost his aptitude for recovery and wind but instead gained a path to strengthen his body. Such experiences have given him a sense of mastery, even though he verbally avoids pain and death.

In the other world, he is registered in the guild under the street name of Raido, the representative of the Kuzunoha (Kuzuha) Trading Company, so as not to cause distrust among the humans. He is the owner of the mirage city of Subaru and is called Waka-sama by the residents and Husband by some of the employees of the Kuzunoha Shokai. As a part-time lecturer in the school city, he teaches practical skills in combat techniques, and his seven students have grown to be among the top seven in the school.

Since his arrival in the other world, he has been treated as a human by the humans, but he has tried to learn the common human language, suppress his magic power, and hide his face with a mask, and has somehow managed to live peacefully while encountering malicious events of the humans, but he has not taken any offense at all. However, he realized that he had been too optimistic when the humans, who had moved him to the subspace as an emergency evacuation, took away his weapons that were to be disposed of and even caused an accidental explosion of Draupnir, causing damage to the people in the subspace, without taking offense at all. Since then, he has treated the humans in an extremely clerical manner, with the exception of those who have gained his trust through direct involvement. He also observes the war between demons and humans as a third party, and if there is a shortage of supplies, he will do business regardless of race. Even if this makes the war more serious, he is willing to protect only those who are related to him and leave them in the subspace if it will lead to the destruction of the human and demon races.

### Abilities

As a human who was born on Earth, Makoto is shown to have seemingly incorporated the best qualities of both hyumans and humans which means a large mana pool from his hyuman descent and a superhuman body due to the harsh conditions of the Original World where he lived as a human. As time goes on he gets incredibly strong and can even fight against the Greater dragons without putting in much effort, excluding Root.

Tomoe says that Makoto has Magical Energy [*Level 1 " Immeasurable"*] that can be counted as "Megami class" or God class, but this statement was made at the beginning of the series, thus he already has more Magical Energy than the actual goddess. With his power, he can influence Subspace. All in subspace occurred because of his power. Even so, he can stand up to the Goddess without falling backward unlike Shiki who was scared in his first encounter with the Goddess. His magic power increases each time he does his "Mind and Magic Enhancement" or when he increases his number of servants.
* *Magic Body [魔力体 (まりょくたい)]*
	+ After the battle between Sophia Bulga and Lancer, Makoto had been thinking "*I want to increase the maximum release of magic power, which is capped for each individual*" and "*I want a barrier to protect myself at all times*," and during the summer vacation at Rotsgard Academy, the librarian recommended this technology to him.
 ***"Number One Origin; Materia Prima"** (Presumed name by Root)*

It is an armor utilizing a large magic capacity - a Magic Power Mass. Yet, it isn’t just magic power, an application method of magic power, allowing it to physically interfere which ordinary magic cannot do. However, the expenditure of its magical capacity is extremely high, so only someone like Makoto who has an abnormal amount of magical power can use this technique.

His knowledge in magic begins with elemental magic and combining all sorts of elements into a brid (basic magic). He can also utilize his "Mastery of Words" gift from the Goddess to comprehend the Magic Languages which allows him to quickly grasp how the magic works and how to change and improve it. When he understands how the basic magic chant works, he stops chanting because it's easier to use it this way and with his absurd mana pool he can bring it out to its fullest potential without even needing one. He has affinity with the elements in this order (Water > Darkness > Fire > Earth > Thunder) and is unable to utilize the Wind and Healing element. He has created a new element called the Moon element and is the only user of it as of now (He can use it in Asora and the Goddess' World).

* *Spells*
	+ *Paradise Protector, [Guardian]*: Specialty enhancement
	+ *Sharp Blade of Determination, [D-Rapier]*: Power enhancement
	+ *Conviction, [White Card]*: Status ailment nullification
	+ *Lunar Halo:* The Moon becomes red and red halos are created around it which slowly widen. After chanting the spell, rain starts dropping incessantly at an unimaginable speed from the halos.
		- -*Effect*- It has the effect of buffing, Debuffing, and destroying, it can be activated at a long range and he can choose the target at will. -Aria-"Moon/My enemy and the temporary lives that she has created…/Shoot them down equally/[Lunar Halo]". To cast this aria, he uses the power of his comprehension ability (It is now called a "Wisdom" ability since the bug gives Makoto the ability to understand the common language as well which was the only language he wasn't able to comprehend) and creates a new complex magic aria that nobody besides him can understand.

* *Magic taught by servants*
	+ *Isolation and illusion*: Used to trap the targets mind in a sleep illusion used on the students in Rotsgard, taught by Tomoe and Shiki.
	+ *Alteration memory or memory manipulation*: Used on Toa's group except on Toa and Rinon, taught to him by Tomoe.
	+ *Silver One, [Lapushka]*: Used to create a needle endowed with unique status effects (Fire, Paralysis, Sleep, Petrify), or Blasting power, it was taught to him by Mio.

He has a basic knowledge of this skill (Judo), self-taught when his big sister used him as a training mannequin. Used once to keep on the ground the women of the Rembrandt family when they were in ghoul form (cursed). As he had the same teacher as Otonashi Hibiki even if the both of them didn't know that. His basic skill in kendo helped Tomoe (with the iai) and Shiki (with the 6th Step: ‘*Fray’; “Sword Emperor Spirit Possession”).*

* A Trench Coat is a protective gear that absorbs a specific amount of mana and uses it for various ability settings. When it turns red it prioritizes mobility over defense.
* *Draupnir*: Magical rings that absorb and compress the wearer's mana. It glows red when the storage capacity reaches its limit. Draupnir(s) can suppress the tremendous quantity of Makoto's magic power. They absorb his magic power to the limit. However because Makoto’s magic power only increases with his bow training and new servants, he needs to change them regularly and wear more of them to the point that there are an immense amount of used rings with Makoto's magic power stored in them. When some humans try to steal some objects like weapons or Draupnir in the unprotected workshop of the Elder Dwarves, a large explosion occurs killing two humans (The ones that attempted to steal), Tomoe's fragment (Mini Tomoe), a Highland Orc, and mortally wounding the Alke's Hokuto, who would have died if not for Makoto treating the Alke's injuries. Since this incident, the rings have been carefully put in a sealed treasure box. Later, it was discovered that these rings can produce energy but they need to be used like magic bombs in order to be used as an energy producer.
* *Azusa*: "Azusa Yumi" is a special long bow created by the elder dwarves. It has the same proprieties as Draupnir as it stores mana and then converts it into magical power when he shoots an arrow. It glows red like Draupnir when the storage capacity reaches its limit. When the arrow is shot, the power is unleashed in one instant and releases a deadly explosion, even more so in close range.
* *Silver Arms*: Gauntlets that Makoto made through his own power of Creation. They are made through a complex method. They are made with the idea to break any magical attack like the shooting of Root or the portal of Samal.

His accuracy in archery has a one hundred percent chance to hit to the target. He never missed once using his skill that he loves so much in the dojo where he is doing great. In the Extra chapter 11, in the conversation between the three sisters of Norn and Susanoo, Athena and Daikokuten, it's said that Makoto only has one true talent and it wasn't archery but another talent that Makoto realized when he was young but decided to turn his eyes away from it. Plus, his talent for archery comes from breaking all the difficulties that came hurling towards him. The fact that he created a true talent from nothing, it's called a Cheat by the three Norn sisters (the other people that accomplished it through rewriting their own talent rather than creating it, are people who change the world like Alexander the Great or Hans Ulrich Rudel).

A skill which Makoto received thanks to the blessings of Tsukuyomi: **Multifunctional Magic** which Makoto relies on a lot. It can be used in various ways such as increasing the healing rate of others, increasing his strength, perception, and much more. He is also able to use it on his weapon. With Sakai, all places under it can be influenced by any ability of his choosing as well as other kinds of uses that belong to Sakai with his power. He can use two properties at once like when he uses both Strengthening and Magic Concealment.
1. Strengthening: Strengthening himself physically, easily allowing him to carry a big tree with human muscles.
2. Perception: Allows him to detect everything in his radius. He can extend the range of the detection but it makes it simpler and removes most of the detail the further it goes.
3. Healing: He can heal without a chant. Its effect depends on the power of the one being healed.
4. Barrier: His barrier is strong enough to withstand attacks from even the strongest opponent.
 **Creation**

 ***Mastery of Words** (Cursed)*

The last blessing or so-called “Payment” for service by the Goddess. Allowing the user to communicate with all the other species in the world. Initially, Makoto couldn't use a common language (hyuman language) but he could speak all other non-hyuman languages, even mamonos like Rizurs or the horses. After dealing with the war that toko place in Limia's Capital, based on the agreement with the Goddess, he can now speak all of the languages including the common language.

According to Tomoe, as he is practicing 'archery' when his mind goes blank as he hits the middle of the target accurately, it becomes scary. Just thinking about that and concentrating on it by spreading his consciousness, it is changing his own existence into everything concentrating towards the path of his target. His presence becomes zero or more like the aura of a deceased person. But when he releases the arrow and hits the target his mana capacity and presence doubles every time he does that.

Increasing his physical strength and capacities. It is more like increasing his own limits that equals or surpasses the mana and magic powers of a God. However, Makoto told her that it is just a repetition to calm his mind and body. Tsukuyomi’s description about Makoto's ability is the ability to focus, to concentrate and hit whatever you desire. This ability will eventually surpass the physical boundaries of the world itself.

* In his last dream (which happened during the visit to the Limia Capital), it is where the alternate Makoto killed and slaughtered all the creatures created by the Goddess. Due to how similar the paths they took were, the real Makoto could experience and feel all the rage and despair the alternate Makoto was feeling. He finds the whole experience awful and disgusting if he himself had to live like this. Based on the monologue of the alternate Makoto, everyone in the Goddess' world is "evil" as they (including the heroes) are literally exploiting, destroying, and abusing him. At the end of it, **Daikokuten** showed up and he stated that it was his gift to him and he apologized for having Makoto experience it.
