Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 13 – The Others’ Aptitude
“If A is the human limit and S is beyond that, does that mean S is the highest rank for a stat?”
Kanehama-kun posed a natural question.
“Actually, that is not the case,” replied the official calmly. “While A is the typical human limit, there are monsters and demons with S, SS, and even higher abilities.
…
Records even speak of a dragon in history with a SSSSS-rank. So no, S is certainly not the upper limit.”
The official’s explanation was enlightening. It confirmed that stats can still grow even beyond S rank.
In other words, Kanehama-kun could become even more powerful — potentially reaching that legendary Five-S rank.
He truly is a cheat among cheats. A holder of the [Hero] title, no less.
“And it's not just Kanehama-sama!”
A different recorder suddenly interjected with excitement.
“[Saintess] Mimori-sama, [Sword Saint] Toudou-sama, and [Sage] Matsuriya-sama all possess exceptional stats as well!”
“Oh? The three of you, would you mind enlarging your Status boards?” asked the geezer, who had been quietly observing until now.
The three nodded in agreement and Enlarge-d their statuses.
From where I stood, I could now clearly read their stats—and they were ridiculous.

With all four Status boards now enlarged, everyone could see them—leaving the entire room speechless.
This is the power of Hero-Class Unique Titles — overwhelming stats and a vast array of elemental affinities bundled into a single title.
With this kind of gap displayed so openly, even fellow heroes had nothing to say.
…But just then, one student made a suspicious move.
It was Kouichi Nomura, one of Arisa’s delinquent friends.
“Yo, check this out! There's someone here with a status that’s amazing in a totally different way!”
He shouted and pointed directly at me.
Well, I suppose you could call my status amazing in the worst way possible.
“Hey, old man! Show ‘em your stats!”
“Haa… well, I don’t mind.”
I didn't bother resisting. I mentally commanded Enlarge to the Status board, and just like the others, mine enlarged to a size everyone could see.
And almost immediately, the room erupted in laughter from the other heroes.
“Everything’s G!? What the hell, old man!? That’s hilarious! BAHAHA! My stomach hurts!”
Nomura laughed like it was the funniest thing he’d ever seen.
Sure, having every stat at G is kind of impressive — in a pathetic way — but is it really that funny?
Still… this might actually work to my advantage.
Seeing how low my stats are seems to be lifting the spirits of some of the more insecure kids. They’re realizing, "Well, at least I’m not the worst."
That kind of thinking may not be noble, but it helps stabilize them.
And right now, that's important.
If the kids stay too stressed or uncertain, they could fall prey to the kingdom’s indoctrination tactics.
But if they can laugh, even at someone like me, they’re less likely to be manipulated.
Plus, now that my pitiful stats have been made public on such a grand scale, the kingdom might decide I’m not worth using.
If things go well, I might just be able to slip out of their clutches entirely.
Honestly… this is all going better than expected.

E/N:
Ossan was stripped of his pride but he's got a plan! Stay tuned!
FYI, the [Hero] in Japanese is Eiyuu literally translated to True Hero so the Hero-Class is basically True Hero-Class and other's are normal cheats.
Also, in original, Title Skills are mentioned for these Hero-Class Titles and it's a little confusing so I took the liberty to change it to "Title". I hope that makes it easy to read.
