So we can treat it as nore if we divide it up?
”””DODGE---!!!”””
The instantthe curtain being flipped, we quickly retreated from the middle of the battlefield to the sides
After that, several large blades of wind flew in from behind, where we once were
”You alright, Akihisa?”
”Yeah It's the second time already, so we're kinda ready for it”
Since we knew the ed to predict it, so it is more or less easy for us this time
”It looks like the other guys are alright”
”Seems that way”
There have been attacks using the power of the bracelets co from behind; this is the second time I saw it, and the third for the rest Of course, there are few losses, both for usand the enemy
”It looks like the enemy has understood our intents”
”Those observant ones probably picked it up, huh?”
Our allies, except for those on the frontlines, understood the secret regarding the curtain, but the enemy's not stupid They may be shocked for the first time, realize it the second tiht be so our intentions
”I'll be worried if they didn't This is e're ai at”
”Hm, Yuuji, you're here”
While we're talking, Yuuji, in charge of leading the operation this ti us again
”Ya, Yuuji, you just bluffed ain”
”Oh Akihisa, you just got bluffed by ain”
Yuuji doesn't look apologetic at all
Speaking of which, he did say so bluffed' during a previous suot bluffed as a result back then
”Don't you feel guilty bluffing ain?”
”Haven't you gained any learning ability after being bluffed over and over again?”
Ugh! This bastard's answers are always like that!
”Yuuji, you should be careful of what you say now It's not wrong to say that your fate is in my hands”
”What do you mean?”
”I mean, well, that If I say that your relationshi+p with Kirishi+ma-san has evolvedwell?”
If everyone in F class is to know about this, Yuuji's destiny will definitely come to an end
In response to my words,
”Humphhow naive”
Yuuji merely scoffs it off leisurely
”Where's that confidence co from?”
”No irls won't just keep quiet about it, right?”
I was completely speechless
”Th-Thatdoesn't thatafter my execution is useless?”
”It's going to be an execution either way”
”I'm not shocked about it since I more or less expected it”
Guess I have no choice now I'll just enjoy side everyone else Hopefully, this will be a happy execution to celebrate our victory
”Instead of that, we need to plan ahead Akihisa, Hideyoshi+, return your summoned beasts and come here”
If we're returning our su to move somewhere If it's a battle to decide victory, that ht?
”Got it Will be there soon”
”Me too”
After checking the enemies and allies on the frontlines, Hideyoshi+ and I exit the field, re our summoned beasts in the process, and return to where Yuuji is
”We're back, Yuuji”
”How about explaining the strategy?”
”Ah, wait asoon--oh, here they are”
I look over to where Yuuji's looking at, and see Hi out from the school
”Sorry to keep you waiting”
”Why does it feel like I've been waiting for orders the entire day?”
”Ready to go”
”Since Muttsurini-kun and I are being called out now, it ht?”
Kudou-san's with us along with the usual F class members Maybe this means that it's not a defensive battle to buy time this time
”Yuuji, have you thought of a plan to win this?”
Having thought of the sa as me, Hideyoshi+ asks
In response to that however, Yuuji simply answers,
”Nope, not at all”
”””Huh?”””
We answer i He can't think of a plan?
”Then why did you summon us here?”
”Do we have to strengthen our defenses?”
”But I heard that this is a plan to end the su war?”
In response to our doubts, Yuuji gestures for us to quiet down, and answers nonchalantly,
”It's not i war You knohat this means?”
”No, not at all”
”That was a quick answer”
”Can't you use your head a little?”
Then I'll think about it a little
What's i war? The aiet the other class' facilities, and it's iet A class' facilities That's e've been declaring war over and over again
But this su to get 'the facilities of classes A to C', and we just so happened to be against it
In other words--
”We never wanted this su war in the first place”
”That's right We never wanted to beat the 3rd years at all”
”Yeah In other words, a draw's basically a win for us”
While it et 3-A's rooet 2-A's facilities Looking at this disadvantageous situation, it'll be great if we can get a draw out of this
”If that's the case, Yuuji, since it's not a plan to beat Takashi+ro-seht?”
”That's how it is”
Yuuji nods confidently Couldn't he just say it right fros in a roundabout way?
”But Yuuji, how're you going to force a draw?”
Hideyoshi+ asks about the , the battle itself, and Yuuji answers the question unabashedly,
”We're going to destroy thethe test summon beast system and end the war”
”Wellthis feels like a strategy only Sakamoto will come up with”
Mina only Yuuji can think of
”But Saka on't it be started again once it's repaired?”
Kudou-san, who's been listening to this obediently, raises her hand to ask
”No, there's only a small chance of that”
”? Why's that”
”Our opponents are the 3rd years, and there's a foreign person observing everything here”
Then, what's that about?
While I' beside me, claps her hands
”Ah, I see This is a serious situation for both parties They can't back out now”
”That's how it is, Kudou The foreign sponsors sent soate because they want to know the results sooner The 3rd years have their exams, and if the system is repaired even a ain”
I see Even if the war so too busy No doubt it's going to be beneficial to us
”Also, there's not et the facilities a month later”
It seems Minami has more or less understood the situation as she starts to nod away
How et serious about this when the self-attendance period is just around the corner? The answer is really simple
”Because of those reasons, wewar That's e have to do so system”
”Oh, so there's this way of looking at things too?”
Yuuji has a flexible , and this certainly is like his usual self--no, proof that his thinking has evolved beyond that That lost ht about it
”We understand our objective now”
”Now's the issue of executing it”
”Yeah, I'm about to explain that now”
Yuuji pulls out a loosely drawn map from his pocket
”This is aSince everyone's been there so many tiht?”
”Of course”
”Actually, Yoshi+-kun, I don't think any normal person will be called to the principal's office so many times”
The principal's office is located on the ground floor of the new school building, facing the field This should be basic knowledge
”The eneeneral has , and the enely In other words--”
”We'll blow the principal's office along with the entire new school building”
”Yoshi+-kun? What're you saying!?”
”--And if we're lucky, we'll get ht in the explosion instead of just one”
”You too, Muttsurini-kun?”
”I want to do it too if that's possible, but that's impossible now”
Too bad huh? If only we had the fireworks from the school festival
”Aiko, you'll get tired playing along with Aki and Sakamoto's jokes Better to just let it fall on deaf ears”
”I-Is that so”
”Anyway, Sakamoto-kun, what are the details exactly?”
It seems Minami and Himeji-san are both used to our words I really hope they don't h; if it's possible to carry it out, we'll really consider and look into it
”Since everyone's focus is on the 4th level, there's no security at the ground floor surrounding the principal's office, so we can enter there using the back door
We already experienced personally how heavy the security is around the 4th level, but the principal office on the ground floor should be okay
”All that's left is to start a large performance there--”
”And we'll destroy any area that may contain the system”
“That's how it is If we can get inside the principal office and start a battle, we just need to wreck the old hag's computer”
Now that I think about it, the principal does use the computer in her room to control the system Even if the host computer is located sooing to be troublesome
“Ermwon't you be lashed out harshly if you do that, Akihisa-kun?”
“The only way to prevent that fro is that Akihisa has to make it look like an accident”
“You guys are already used to doing this, huh?”
“Well of course That's ays do”
“Though this really isn't so to be proud of”
“What? Don't worry about it too one down the drain This is just a little payback”
Leaving aside the e, we at least understand e're ai at Noe just have to split the tasks
“Of course, Akihisa will be the culprit”
“Hm, okay”
“You'rehim the culprit”
I agree with those words
“Hiether with Akihisa as escort If the only enemies inside are froht them”
“I-I understand”
“I'll work along with you too If the teachers aren't around, I have to open a field”
With no enemies or teachers around, Yuuji will have to create a field using his bracelet This really is much easier for me
“What about us, Sakamoto?”
“Please be our guards until we reach our destination”
“Roger that”
“It's co to be with Muttsurini-kun♪”
Her jaw ht drop if she sees any of his scores other than Health Education, but I think we'll just ignore that for now
“The others will create a cohting strength, they will have to respond in kind”
We can say that we'll be in a pinch if this fails—but well, isn't that the basis of strategy?
“Ah, one , Akihisa”
“Hm? What is it, Yuuji?”
“I got so to say to you”
Yuuji waves atas what he told me; he then proceeded to brief ht happen once we reach our destination
“H?”
“That's what I observed regarding the eneth as a neutral I'll leave it to you”
“Gotcha”
After those words were said, the strategy briefing ended
Yuuji clapped his hands, and then said to everyone
“Alright Let's begin this plan Once we see the hint, everyone's to run straight ahead”
“What's the hint, Yuuji?”
“The hint's that hint You've seen it a few tiht?”
Yuuji looks over at the old school campus Ah, so that's how it is?
“That's not just so meant to wear out the enemy effectively, huh?”
“You really are good in this aspect, Yuuji”
“To be expected of you”
So that's e took quite the terrible punishment just now, huh? If us at the frontlines are to act without knowing anything, the opponent will probably fall for it So this is what it uess
“WellI guess it's about time”
We re the hint
And so, after waiting for a while, the white curtain from theon the 4th level appeared
”It's Kubo! Kubo's here!”
”That thing froain!!”
”Dodge!!”
Warnings could be heard frouess this is what Yuuji's ai for
“Let's go, you guys! Let's charge right through!”
“““Alright!!”””
On Yuujis co witnessed the attacks of the gold bracelets beforehand, the 3rd years dodged aside, forh the sturdy defenses in front of the new school building
Suddenly, I notice Kirishi+
She's looking at us,
“Do” “Your” “Best”
“”
“What's with you, Akihisa? You're glaring at me like there's a family feud between us”
“It's nothing”
I just so happened to see her cheering him on Any ordinary person's vision is typically unable to see those lip movements, but she still wanted to chase after Yuuji and cheer him on silently As I think about how Kirishi+ upon Yuuji, I just can't help but feel jealous of him
“Well, it doesn't matter Someone has to die anyway”
“Aki, what kind of inauspicious thing are you saying? We'll definitely win if everyone works hard!”
“That's right, Akihisa-kun! We're going to end this battle in the best way possible!”
Mina ataboutbut since they say so, I'll forget aboutto settle this in the best way possible
”Hey, they're not attacking!
”Those guys! It's a bluff!”
We can hear such words as we run by the 3rd years; it seems they have understood our intentions There's still so, and it'll be all over if we're stopped here instead
“We'll leave this to you guys!”
“““OK!”””
Yuuji shouted, and our 2nd year allies begin battle to support us I guess Yuuji did brief them on what to do beforehand; they build walls around our path to allow us through, and our F class ot to action Surely they must have sensed that this is the decisive moment
But even so, the path is slowly getting blocked
“Kudou! Muttsurini!”
“Alright!”
“Understood”
Upon hearing their na called up, both of them shouted the keyword
““Summon!””
Health Education, 2-A, Kudou Aiko, 498 points
&
Health Education, 2-F, Tsuchiya Kouta, 671 points
It seened the Health Education teacher here The subject field we enter just so happens to be the Health Education Kudou-san and Muttsurini are best at
“Let's go”
“Acceleration, begin”
Kudou-san's su in, while Muttsurini's summoned beast accelerates itself before anyone can even blink, slashi+ng down one enemy summoned beast after another
“Speaking of which, those sure are monstrous numbers of points there”
“I don't think even the teachers are a match for those two”
Kudou-san continues to swing the electricity-charged axe, and Muttsurini's es in his wake The weak eneered by Muttsurini's blinding speed before being finished off by Kudou-san's follow-up Both their su there
Thanks to those two, the path in front of us is opened up
“Though I really want to leave everything to Kudou and Muttsurini—”
“It doesn't look like the ene to be that naive”
“This is just like the prediction”
A certain person stands in front of those tith unmatched power
She isn't dressed in anything dazzling, but even in unifor from her
One would beher; Kogure-sempai has appeared
“I guess I've got no choice then Aiko and I will take her on”
“Nope I want him—Tsuchiya-kun to be my opponent”
Kogure-selances flirtatiously at Muttsurini What could be seen fro our hearts to flutter
However,
“We can't really accept that, Kogure-sempai Muttsurini's compatibility with you is really bad”
“Oh dear, I suppose that is supposed to be for him to decide, no?”
Kogure-sempai folded her are” Those large breasts are riding on her arms Man! That's despicable!
Upon seeing this, Hideyoshi+ reaches his hand out to stop Muttsurini
“That's enough, Muttsurini You can't beat that upperclassman”
But Muttsurini takes a step forward, see to shake Hideyoshi+ off
“This isn't a case ofwinning or losing!”
What's that idiot thinking? Everyone's thinking this now
“Muttsurini, Kudou, we'll leave this to you”
But Yuuji doesn't seem to mind as he said this
“Eh? But Muttsurini”
“We don't have time, and this subject field is Health Education Muttsurini won't be able to contribute if he comes out from here”
That's true now that he says so; leaving aside Kudou-san, Muttsurini can't fight in any subject other than Health Education He also has to handle the other 3rd years chasing after us, and it isn't going to be wise asking him to retreat from here
“Muttsurini! Stop staring at that upperclassman's body and focus on her summoned beast!”
“Aiko! Watch over Tsuchiya!”
Since we have no other choice, we can only ives us a thu us That probably would have looked reliable if there wasn't a pool of nosebleed at his feet
“Thank you very nore me”
”You can't do that, Muttsurini-kun Focus on her su as you want later”
”You do not have to worry too s if they fit your tastes”
“Youis over, I'll dress up in a swimsuit for you to see”
“I have no interest in any of you!”
“So you guys are next, sempais?”
“You actually came here, Yoshi+, Sakamoto!”
“I' up till now!”
After getting past Kogure-sempai, the Toko-Natsu pair, e have quite the history with, stands in our way We can't just leave these two to Kudou-san and Muttsurini, but we don't have time to waste!
“Aki, leave these two to Kinoshi+ta and uys hurry on You okay with this, Kinoshi+ta?”
“Well, we don't have another choice”
Like Kudou-san and Muttsurini before this, Minami and Hideyoshi+ step forward
“Huh? What are you saying? We have a debt to settle with Yoshi+ and Sakamoto”
“Na-Natsukawa, I'll be happy with Kinoshi+ta as my opponent too”
Tsunemura-sempai's words caused Hideyoshi+'s shoulders to shudder Is it really alright to leave things to them?
“We don't have time Let's leave it to those two and hurry on”
Yuuji prompts us as he rushes forward I have all kinds of worries here, but I don't have any choice in this situation
“We'll leave it to you, Mina happens”
“Right, got it!”
“That's not so too, isn't it!?”
“You may pound oing to stop my love for you!”
“Ki-Kinoshi+taI think I should go on with Aki?”
“shi+mada, I'll hate you for eternity if you leave me behind here”
We continue on while leaving Minah the staircase and htly defended, it doesn't seem to be the case anywhere else
“Well then, let's war after Yoshi+ and the rest, Tsunemura”
“Well, that's true It's better to settle any personal issues after the su war is over”
“What're you saying now? We're the ones ant to quickly beat you and hurry to Aki and the rest”
“Right, that's the spirit, shi+mada We must beat them and send them to the detention room as soon as possible”
“Ahyou guys see”
“Mistaken? About what?”
“Well, you ht have underestiainst Yoshi+ and Sakamoto”
Mathematics, Natsukawa Shunpei, 3-A, 733 points
&
Mathematics, Tsunemura Yuusaku, 3-A, 751 points
“—This can't be considered a battle with you guys as our opponents”
“Listen up, Akihisa, even if the enemy's defenses are weak, it doesn't mean that we have time Once we reach there, we need to hurry up with our objective as soon as possible”
“Got it”
“Hiuard You'll be in the sa from the corridor Please hold on until Akihisa completes his objective”
“Understood”
“They're co! It's those second years!”
“There're 3 of them! Take them out!”
The 3rd years start to gather to prevent us fro to the 4th level
We pretend to run to the staircase, before changing directions suddenly towards our real objective, the principal's office
“I'll call out my summoned beast here!”
Himeji-san stopped at the corridor in front of the principal's office, facing the stairs
“I'll leave it to you, Himeji-san!”
“Akihisa-kun, please do your best!”
We left Hi to the roonboard to complete our objective
“Right, let's begin!”
“OK, let's go”
Yuuji gets ready to begin the su ready to enter Eh? What do we do if it won't open? If that ends up happening, the lock ood that the door is unlocked, for everyone's sake
“—Awaken”
I heard Yuuji say this keyword the instant I entered the roo the school festival, and because of this, ability, we can summon monsters even without any teacher around
Once the bracelet's activated, Yuuji hurries into the principal's office Alright
“I just need to call out the summoned beast and wreck the principal's office”
“Well, the proble to be that easy”
“Oh? That certainly is an unexpected reaction I thought you would be a little more surprised”
Takashi+ro-se rather relaxed as he smiles
“If you don't mind, can you please tell h I had to reveal my location, you probably would not be able to track me if you aren't at the headquarters”
Takashi+ro-se rather interested Yuuji merely snorted however, don't ask such a stupid question, see this as he answered
“I didn't have any proof about that It's just a guess”
“A guess, huh?”
“Yeah I do know that you're a sy is”
Looking at what he did up till noe can guess that Takashi+ro-seed to predict all the situations till now Naturally, neither Yuuji nor Kirishi+ma-san may be able to predict such situations, let alone me, but Takashi+ro-sempai was certainly able to do so
“Therefore, if this is really the case, I justto those facts I don't knohat your assuy was seen through”
