## Summary

A gym teacher demands to know who the Red Ogres are as he says he'll be calling the police, but Araki knocks him to the ground and tells him that they'll wreck the place before they even arrive.

The students watching from within the school wondering what the Red Ogres are doing on their school grounds, and Yuuya sees Youta and Sora among them smiling evilly, making Yuuya realize their intentions. This causes his past trauma to start boiling up to the surface, much to the worry of everyone around him. Shingo informs everyone that the police are on the way, and Yuuya says he can leave the situation to the police. However, Kaori steps outside to confront the Red Ogres, asking what business they have with the school. She becomes horrified when she sees Youta and Sora among them, who point her out to the thugs while mentioning that their main target is Yuuya, but they guess he's shaking in fear right now.

Kaori asks what their point in doing all of this is since the police are on their way right now, and they make it clear their hatred of her for rejecting them in favor of Yuuya, who they still see as beneath them. The two also add that even if the police are coming, everyone at the school is their hostages, as they are confident she can't fight back against them. Sora tells Kaori she should be more worried for herself, as she finds herself approached by some thugs, who ran into her at the convenience store back then. All of the students start panicking, with Kaede even wanting to get involved herself. As for Yuuya, he's wracked with fear as Shingo reassures him that the police are on their way, to which Yuuya tells Shingo that he's very brave compared to himself. Shingo, however, tells Yuuya that he was just doing what he felt he could in the moment. His words remind Yuuya how he tried to help Kaori before knowing he stood no chance of winning, and he realizes he was weaker now than before he leveled up, as though he didn't look handsome or strong, he was still proud of doing the right thing.

With resolve in his heart, jumps all the way down to the fourth floor and stands in front of Kaori protectively. Youta identifies him to the Red Ogres, where Araki asks he be allowed to harm him, to which Youta accepts. The thugs charge for him, but Yuuya uses his **Dodge** skill to evade his attackers and trick them into knocking each other out. An ex-sumo wrestler approaches Yuuya confident he can crush him, but Yuuya easily overpowers and defeats him. Finally, the leader of the group decides to fight him, but Yuuya is able to easily block and dodge his attacks. The leader then throws sand in Yuuya's eyes to blind him but he remains unfazed, and uses his **Weakness Detection** skill to find the leader's weak spot and exploit it to defeat him.

The police finally arrive and arrest the Red Ogres, while Youta and Sora are left despairing over the fact that the Red Ogres were all beaten. The leader knocks out one of the officers and runs to Youta, breaking free of his handcuffs and strangling him, blaming him for their downfall. Sora demands the leader release her brother, but he refuses, smacking her to the side and telling her that he'll kill her after Youta. The police are unable to stop the leader because they're too busy keeping the rioting members at bay, and Youta starts desperately asking for someone to save him. Yuuya does end up saving him, forcing the leader to release his brother, which he ends up doing. Youta asks Yuuya why he would save him after how cruel he was to him. The leader attacks again but Yuuya defeats him for good, and in his mind, he says he'll never forgive the two of them for insulting his grandfather, but they are still his siblings.

The school erupts with adoration and amazement over Yuuya's victory and Kaori is relieved that he's okay. When Youta asks Yuuya once again why he helped him. Yuuya tells him that while he was constantly bullied by him and others and felt inferior to him and Sora, and he is angry at them for insulting his grandfather, he will still help his family when they need it. His words brings the two to tears, and they collapse in a sobbing mess apologizing profusely.

The police take the Red Ogres and Yuuya's siblings away, with Yuuya saying Youta and Sora will be appropriately punished for their actions. Kaori asks him if he's truly content with that, and he says he is, as it is his very nature. He apologizes to her for seemingly causing her trouble but she tells him he saved her once again. He tells her that he feels he was able to actually help her this time, but Kaori once again tells him that he saved her that time too, and to her, he's her hero. Yuuya soon finds himself surrounded by his friends, and he realizes that leveling up in the other world has changed his life in the real world for the better, and he's deeply grateful.

Speaking of, once again in the other world, Yuuya comes across a black Fenrir.
