Vol 5 Chapter 2 (2/2)

“…That’s why I’ you”

“Warning me?”

“…Hand over your trunks”

DA!! (Yuuji suddenly dashed off)

“Ahaha Yuuji’s really an idiot”

“Erm, Akihisa-kun”

“Nn? What is it, Himeji-san?”

“Do you want to eat that bento?”

“Un Of course I’ to It’s prepared anyway”

“Really…I understand In that case, please compare the taste”

“Taste?”

“Yes Actually—I ht…”

DA!! (I suddenly dashed off)

“Ahh! Oi, Aki! Explain your relationshi+p with Sakamoto!”

“Akihisa-kun! Why did you run aithout eating? The cookies I made should be more nutritious than Sakamoto-kun’s bento Please try it!”

“…Yuuji, you two are actually trying to escape Unforgivable”

Behind us, the sound of footsteps and killing intent continued to pursue us

“Akihisa, you da to Shouko? Why did she suddenly attack me!?”

“Hoould I know!? I’ to Hie thoughts about me!”

“Hoould I know, you idiot!? The strange iinations are all because of your bad behaviour!”

“What did you say!? You scuht back at you!!”

Yuuji and I continued to yell at each other as we continued to dash down the corridor I don’t have much self-confidence in -away speeds are a lot faster than an ordinary person’s Let alone Himeji-san, who’s already weak, even the athletic Minami and Kirishi+ma-san can’t possibly catch up—

“You two again! Yoshi+, Saka about!”

““ACK!!! IRONMAN!!!”

Our sworn enemy appeared in front of us He’s a devil within modern society—Nishi+mura-sensei, aka Ironman

““…””

At that lanced at each other Fro

((If I can get that that guy to be a sacrifice for Ironht…?))

Such a touching thought, but Iron us froe threats as well

In other words, though it’s regrettable, even if I want to use that method to live peacefully, there’re too few people for me to sacrifice

“Can’t be helped! Let’s work together, Akihisa!”

“Okay! Better put our lives as priority!”

At that ot ready to take action Let’s begin—

“—Activate!”

“—Summon!”

As Yuuji turned on the su field, my summoned beast appeared

Then, we got ready to attack Iron us

“Take this, Iron—man…!?”

Suddenly, uely like a blur mist

“That’s weird? What’s going on?”

The summoned beast didn’t hide itself Well, to put it, it’s like there was no response at all I’ a su never happened before It’s not like the ‘interference’ from before What happened?

“Oi, Akihisa! What are you standing around for!?”

“Heh—UOWAAAAHHH!!!”

A sudden gust of wind that causedfroht it was an iron ball fro thrown at me!

“You two! I don’t knohat you two are arguing about, but you’re using the sus here! Didn’t I warn you not to use your su battles!? Looks like I have to correct that rotten core of yours!”

EEKK!! Iron to use the suh

“Wait, Aki! Eat the cookies Mizuki ”

“…Yuuji, if you still want to resist, I’ll ”

The voices of the assassins came from behind Why did a normal casual lunch break become like this!?

“Akihisa!”

“Got it!”

While Iron forith the attack, I used my fastest speed to escape the scene

We’re stopped on both front and back, but luckily, the stairs are right beside us Since we’re still not at a dead end, we can continue to run!

Yuuji and I ran down the stairs at the same time

“Very good, Akihisa! We’ll split once we get down the stairs! I’ll be a bait to lure them away Hide behind the pillar and run off once they leave!”

“No way, how can I sacrifice you just to save myself, Yuuji! I should be the bait and lure the and run off secretly, Yuuji!”

“Now’s not the time to think about it! Only one of us can live on!”

“That’s why I want to give the chance to you, Yuuji!”

“Nonono, Akihisa! You should be the one hiding!”

We’re considering our safeties as priority, and naturally, ouldn’t back off Just e continued with this argument, we reached the bottom of the stairs and came to the lowest level

“Really, you, in that case, I can only force you to hide! (DONK)”

“Ah! Yuuji, what have you done!”

While we’re still at a deadlock, Yuuji suddenly pushed me behind the pillar and ran off in the other direction

“Yu, Yuuji! That idiot!”

I ducked and hid my body behind the pillar and couldn’t help but think of my classmate that ran away That idiot’s definitely—

“IRONMAN, shi+MADA! AKIHISA’S HIDING BEHIND THAT PLACE!!”

HE DEFINITELY BETRAYED ME AS EXPECTED, THAT SWINE!

“damn YOU, YUUJI! I WON’T FORGET YOUR BETRAYAL!!”

I immediately jumped out from behind the pillar and hurriedly ran off in the opposite direction of where Yuuji ran off to damn it! What I intended to do was done by him! It really infuriates me!

“Yoshi+! Stop and come and have tea in the remedial classroom!”

“I DON’T WANT TO! I FEEL THAT I’LL BE DRINKING TEA MIXED WITH MY OWN TEARS IF I END UP DRINKING TEA WITH YOU!!”

Yuuji’s hard knock caused my feet to become a little unsteady, and Ironman soon closed in

Guuu…! I can’t get away now…!

Ironman slowly closed the distance between us, and I’ll be in his demonic clutches a step later

“End of the line, Yo—Nuohh!!?”

Ironman let out a shocked cry and seemed to trip, while my body felt a mysterious pain This pain…is it the feedback from the summoned beast?

I turned around to look behind, but didn’t slon at all

“Eh? How did…”

I looked closely, and found that about 3 tripped Ironman

“Great! I don’t knohat’s going on, but I better run!”

To think that such a great chance appeared Of course I have toskills to escape through theI even ran a littleme

“Speaking of which, why did the summoned beast appear? I didn’t summon in the first place”

I ed to save my own life, but I just couldn’t help but be concerned about it The summoned beast I su…

I continued to think as I ran around the school, and just so happened to see an open

“Fuu…I guess they won’t be able to find me if I ran that much”

I slowed down and stopped running for my life, went near the , leaned on theframe, and leaped in

What roo…

There’s a sofa and a turn-table for acco visitors, and a bookshelf full of special titles that would raine Also—

“damned brat, what do you want?”

“There’s a strange and ugly old man statue!”

“And you just insultedme!? Such a rude damned brat!”

—No, it’s actually the principal

“Really, you’re really such da hello, and even cursed out at ain?”

“So, sorry…”

I just stated what I thought

But isn’t it a little weird? Did she just say…two?

“What the heck, Akihisa! You came to hide here too”

“Ah, Yuuji So you came to hide here”

A familiar voice could be heard beside me

I didn’t notice his presence as he was blocked by the bookshelf Yuuji, who split up fro in the principal’s office too

“Because they won’t find us if we hide here”

“It’s true that they won’t think that we’ll be hiding here”

But it’s really a coincidence that I came here

“I don’t knohat you two are blabbering, but this isn’t a place you can just come in whenever you want to The air in here just feel contaly brats co”

Now that she mentioned it, we do co words aren’t exactly so an educator should say The principal really looked unhappy Did so happen?

“Yuuji, did you say so that made the principal unhappy?”

“You idiot Don’t compare ly and heinous looking person that I can’t stand looking at I was just a little shocked that I saw a demon in the principal’s office”

“Yuuji, aren’t those words of yours rather rude? It’s not like the principal wanted to look like a demon”

“…Looks like there’s a need for you two to knoho’s the one with the highest authority in this school”

A too ot worse

“Humph, I don’t want you two damned brats to critique my looks You two are the second-year version of the Toko-Natsu pair, and you even have the cheek to talk about me”

““WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! YOU damnED OLD HAG!!!””

On hearing the worst description ever in this world being used on us, Yuuji and I couldn’t help but roar However, I’m rather surprised that the principal knew about the Toko-Natsu nickname

“Okay okay Really, what do you tant to talk to me about? You can see that I’m busy here”

The principal said as she looked down at the pile of docu to say to the principal…

“Oh yeah I have so I want to ask you”

But Yuuji looked like he had so to say What can he talk about with the principal?

“We called out a summoned beast just now, but it rando Did so happen?[1]”

So that’s it I’m rather concerned about how the sued to escape, but ill be bothered if such a situation happens during the su tournament It’s best to check with the principal

“Do you two kno to talk? Oh well, honorifics may be too difficult for idiots like you, so I can’t blame you there”

After a little humiliation on both sides—

“That’s just one of the current problems”

The principal coldly answered Yuuji’s question

“Proble about my platinum bracelet?”

I nearly forgot that the platinum bracelet willon, but if a student with good grades use it, it o rarades, it’s not impossible even if the bracelet breaks In that case, is it because of that that the su weird?

Just when I thought it was like this,

“No, I’ system”

The principal answered with an irritated look So it’s not like how I iined

“Speaking of which, there see systeht?”

“There’s a little situation at the moment, but there’s no need for you two da, but we should be able to use it again before summer vacation”

Really? We can use it before summer vacation…in that case, wouldn’t that mean,

“In other words, ouldn’t be able to start the su war immediately,”

“Can only wait till the next semester”

“What should we do? We’ll be bothered here!”

Our ‘3lost in the su ill be over soon, and noe have to wait and wilt!

“Can’t you do anything?”

“It’s not that we can’t use it completely…but I just don’t want you two to use it And I ordered the other teachers to refuse the students’ requests to declare war”

The principal coldly answered

“Since it’s not like we can’t use it completely, why ban it! This just feels like some sick joke!”

“It’s not ‘like’ This is a joke I’ out of my own bitterness”

She said soain

“Whyus use it, right!?”

Seeing itated, the principal answered coldly

“Why? Oh, don’t tell me you don’t understand if I don’t explain it clearly to you”

“Of course I don’t understand! What in the world is this!”

“This requires lots of insight for you to understand Is that thing above your neck just a decoration? It does look like a flawed item from its appearance

This, this daranny

“In that case, I’ll tell you directly The reason’s simple It’s because you two are usually bad, and I’rades”

Can’t this person talk nor ill words?

Just when I was about to open rabbed my elbow What’s the matter?

(Calm down, Akihisa)

Yuuji softly whispered to me

(Why!? Aren’t you angry that she’s describing you like that!?)

(How can I not be angry? But what help does arguing back in the heat of the e the fact that we can’t have a su war here)

(Uu…)

Yuuji’s right If we ry at this point, it’ll really do us no good

(In that case, why don’t we try to get on the old hag’s good side and ask her to re wars? Just endure this for a while)

It’s unexpected that I will hear the word endure frouy, the current situation is such that we can’t act on our own Besides, whether we can get the extension of the su war here is a battle of life and death now

(Got it, Yuuji Noe have to grit our teeth and endure no matter how much she humiliates us)

(Yeah We have to do this for the sake of our goals)

That’s right No matter how vicious that principal’s mouth is, we have to endure Endure endure endure…

“Really, no athered all the second year boys to peep on …”

““SHUT THE hell UP, YOU damnED OBNOXIOUS SELF-CENTERED OLD HAG!!!!””

We couldn’t help but screahts

“When, as I being self-centered here? You were excited and started a riot just to peep on me That’s a fact!”

“YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT AKIHISA BEING AN IDIOT, A butt UGLY GUY OR GAY, I DON’T CARE SINCE THAT’S A FACT WHAT I CAN’T ACCEPT THIS THAT YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT I’LL GET EXCITED AND PERVERSE OVER AN OLD GRANNY!! damnED OLD GRANNY, CORRECT THAT!!”

“THAT’S RIGHT! CORRECT THAT! YUUJI’S THE ONLY ONE WHO’S DUMB, UGLY AND WILL GET EXCITED OVER AN OLD GRANNY!”

“Ahh, you two are really noisy! Noa romantic relationshi+p with students!”

““I DON’T WANT TO DO IT WITH YOU EITHER!!!””

And that’s it for the casual talk

“So, whywar? If it’s just a ht?”

Having regained his calm, Yuuji sat on the sofa and asked

“Do I have to mention it? Of course it’s because you people have no idea on the real nature of the su system”

“Su system’s nature?”

“That’s right I don’t knohat you aresysteinally meant to ‘increase the drive in students to learn acade with destroying the wall of the school, blowing up the staff rooirls’ bathroo war commotion—you people didn’t just cross the line as students, you went even further! Have you people been studying seriously?”

“Uu…”

Can’t deny that here

“But after those co to lessons obediently, but we’ve been having re”

“Ye, yeah We did do e have to do well here!”

“This isn’t a question of whether your grades improved, but about how the public would feel about this”

The principal couldn’t hide her fatigue as she said that

Fu watched by all sorts of people because of the test su system This allowed for a lot of sponsors and lowered the school fees drastically, but there’s the flaw of being debated and criticized Even if the people in the school can clearly feel the effects of the test su syste if society can’t agree and accept this The principal’s probably being bothered by this

“That’s why I set this ban, and it’s not like you won’t be able to use it forever In about a week, it’ll be the end-of-term exams, and summer vacation’s after that, isn’t it? The second semester will be here in the blink of that eye”

The time till the second semester still feels rather far, but to the school, it’s just anow that she mention it

“In other words, you actuallysystem really has so said to the public You’re banning us fro war to let the students focus on the end-of-terht?”

“Your observation skills are really sharp That’s really the case”

The conversation continued, but I couldn’t catch up anymore

Errm, that means…?

“Basically, what she , so we’re to focus corades’”

Yuuji explained it to ht moment Fm fm, I see, so that’s how it is

“Even so, even if I ban the su war completely, you brats most likely won’t study…”

The principal put her hands below her chin for support and looked like she was thinking

“If your grades don’t i end-of-term exams, we’ll have a special summer remedial then”

WHAT IDIOTIC WORDS IS THIS damnED OLD GRANNY SAYING!?

“Tha, that’s toowar, and now you’re going to take our summer vacation away!? Isn’t that too cruel!!”

We can’t have the su battles we so wanted, and noe’re forced to study for the end-of-term exams This may be normal to an ordinary student, but no student will be happy because of that

“You daht as well finalize the su war to the third semester to make you all focus on your studies”

“Ugh…”

Whatever the case here, please spare us here A chill went down ined that I will have to continue exchanging looks with Iron this half year Besides…if Himeji-san’s to have such facilities, it will be too…

“It’s not like I don’t understand your feelings anyway I intended to announce it toh, since it’s not hard to iainst this violently”

However, the ones protesting will most likely be our F class students

“So I decided to give some benefit to you and restart the system”

“Restart the system?”

What kind of benefit is that?

“As there was maintenance before, I intend to reset all the data that exists in the systeht?”

“Hoo…that’s quite a good idea”

It seemed that Yuuji understood what the principal ood proposal?

“You still look like you aren’t sure of what’s going on This system reset will mean that the summoned beasts’ equipment will be reset to zero”

“In other words, the et in this end-of-term exams will become the equipment of our summoned beast, and may be even better than before”

“Eh! Is that so?”

So e froreat?

“Originally, the equiped at the end-of-year final exaive this to you as a special benefit”

The sued fro, the first year end-of-year exaot, my wooden sas still a wooden sword, and e into protective armor This already restricted reat news for me

“Studying’s not for anyone’s sake, but for your own hard work I know this s one at a time This situation is just a little special”

It’s rare for the principal to actually say so an educator should say

Studying is for our own sake, and she’s right there, but this added incentive will make us work even harder, which I can’t deny Also—

“Got it! I’ll do my best for the end-of-term exams!”

“Akihisa, what’s with you? Being so motivated out of a suddenly…”

And also, considering this special benefit, it will be too ot that nee-san shi+fted back as an inspector If I don’t do well foralone will be over But with a reward, I can go all out to study Once I get my results, I’ll definitely…

“Alright! Let’s do our best, Yuuji! If we can get good results during the end-of-year exams, we’ll be able to beat A class decisively in the next ter war”

“Ohh, that’s right”

I have to really work hard here! For the sake of chasing h-class facilities of A class during the next semester!

“It’s great that your duht, you da else to do, scram”

“Yes! We’ll make a move then!”

“Ah, oi! Akihisa! If we run onto the corridor now, those guys may…”

I grabbed Yuuji’s hand and walked out of the principal’s office In that case, let’s work hard

KACHANK

““““Welcome””””

—But right now, it looks like I have to deal with the four people in my way first
