Naofumi Iwatani

Once an ordinary college student, Naofumi Iwatani was thrust into another world and branded as the Shield Hero—a title that came with betrayal rather than glory. The scars of that past have made him deeply skeptical of others, yet they have also forged in him a sharp, pragmatic mindset that proves invaluable in chaotic situations. Now navigating school life undercover as a transfer student and health committee member, Naofumi relies not on brute force but on his instinct to defend, quietly shielding those around him while building an unlikely bond of mutual reliance with fellow otherworldly heroes.
