In a World Where Strength Is Ranked, I, a High School Teacher, Was Transported Along With My Students and Rose From a Mere Side Character to the Rank of Sword Saint (LN)

Weak abilities? No problem! A teacher with unmatched swordsmanship dominates a fantasy world with nothing but his blade!

–[The Strongest Rankings]

In this world, people’s strength is ranked by a system, and high school teacher Shigeto Kusunoki found himself transported there along with his students.

While his students gained overpowered abilities, Shigeto’s powers were weak, and his rank was among the lowest. Ridiculed by his students, Shigeto tried to adapt to this new world, supported by a priestess named Mirei. But then, one of his students, Yuzuki Kimishima, was sent to a monster-filled ruin from which no one had ever returned.

Determined to save his student, Shigeto set off alone into the deadly ruins to rescue Yuzuki.

In the depths of despair, his one remaining weapon, the swordsmanship he had honed before being transported, held an extraordinary power in this world.

“You’re sacrificing yourself for me… I… I…” Yuzuki, who admired him, could only watch as Shigeto fought on, cutting down enemies to protect her.

As he continued to fight, Shigeto’s rank soared to unimaginable heights, and soon his name began to spread throughout the world.

–This is the story of how a mere side-character teacher dominated a fantasy world with nothing but his sword and became a Sword Saint.
