Yoshi+ Akihisa's answer:

Teacher's Comment:
Can you at least write so?
“Hey, Akihisa, call out your summoned beast and help them out”
As we pass through the new school building to the second years' main camp, Yuuji, who had remained silent till now, suddenly said this to me,
Mathematics, Natsukawa Shunpei, 3-A, 688 points
&
Mathematics, Tsunemura Yuusaku, 3-A, 717 points
Vs
Mathematics, shi+mada Minami, 2-F, 41 points
&
Mathematics, Kinoshi+ta Hideyoshi+, 2-F, 26 points
I see the scores frohtly far away
It see the Toko-Natsu pair
“I-I never thought that they would be weak, but I never expected the”
“To think that Aki and Sakamoto actually could take them on”
“We're really being underestimated here Don't see us like this, we're still 3-A class caliber, you know?”
“We ed to last this long”
It looks like Yuuji wants me to take over Minami and Hideyoshi+, almost defeated at this point, to take on the Toko-Natsu pair as their opponent If I think about it, my summoned beast wasn't worn out at all I won't have any issues swapping with Minaroup
“I understand—but if I'uys will retreat I probably would get defeated immediately”
The probleth to focus on the su war
“That's what I intended in the first place I never expected much from you, so I don't care at all even if you're defeated here and sent to the detention room”
Yuuji gavelook as he said this
“But don't you have so you have to say to shi+mada?”
TheMinami's diary to me
“Th-that's”
I started to hate myself further
I kept thinking about how I ot all about Mina very i the cause of it allhow rotten a?”
“Let me say this first, once I make shi+mada retreat, I'll send her to take part in the replenishment tests immediately, and I don't intend to allow you to retreat once there are still points left If you have so to say to her, live on before the tests are over”
Yuuji's saying that he won't waste tith because of my personal blunder Of course This is a mistake I made in the first place
“Go over if you understand You won't be able to talk to her if she's sent to the detention room either way”
Even if we lose together, it's forbidden for us to talk in the detention rooize to Minami then
In that case, what I can do now is—
“Summon!”
I enter the field and call out hting against each other, look over at me
““Yoshi+?””
The Toko-Natsu pair let their summoned beasts jump to the back and pull their distance frouard on me
“Aki!”
“Akihisa!”
Minami and Hideyoshi+ run over to me
Mina in on me, and I hurriedly finish what I want to say because I didn't dare look at her in the face directly
“I'll take over this battle, you two Retreat now, Yuuji will instruct you further”
“Hmlooks like the operation ended Don't mind, Akihisa”
Hideyoshi+ saw that Yuuji and I are here, and once he concluded this, encouraged us
“”
On the other hand, Minaued
“Did so happen, Aki?”
Minauilty
She's being so kind to me now, and I handed her diary over to Linne-kun and Takashi+ro-seet the letter back because we ran away
“Sorry Minaize, but we don't have time now”
“Eh?”
Minaize
I actually wanted to kneel down in front of her, but I can't do that If I'm beaten here, I won't be able to allow Minaize to her properly after this
“Let's go, Hideyoshi+, shi+mada Leave this to Akihisa”
Due to the failure of this operation, the F class uard have to retreat while stopping their attacks
“Yuuji, you can't just leave Akihisa alone like this!”
“That's right, Sakamoto! At least let me stay behind”
“No need for that I'll send in other reinforce hi to hinder hi of anything”
“Did so happen, Sakamoto?”
“”
Minami and Hideyoshi+ look in , they retreated slightly I hope my actions noill be able to help everyone unlike what happened before
“Hey Yoshi+, you're looking rather troubled to me”
“Did so bad happen there? If you say it now, at least we'll pity you somewhat”
The Toko-Natsu pair grinned as they looked at my face
“”
And I merely answer that taunt with silence
“Tch, what's with that reaction? It's boring”
“Don't say that This guy just got beaten badly by Takashi+ro”
“Ah, yeah, I remember there was such a report just now”
While Yuuji and I were running around, escaping, the report of the failed attack on the principal's office was probably heard ast the 3rd years
“The girl you like, Himeji, I think? I heard that she was beaten and sent to the detention rooht?”
And also, the fact that the actual salutatorian, Himeji-san was beaten
“You guys are really too irl there just to save yourselves? That's not so a man would do”
“I always thought you were trash, but it really shocked me how rotten you are”
These tho I have quite the history with, are sneering away as if they took the head of the demon
But right now, it'smocked like thisbesides, what they said is the truth
“Hey Yoshi+, what do you think? You used a woer, and now you're—”
And I overpower their words as I lower ,
“Sorry, but I have a request, Natsukawa-sempai, Tsunemura-sempai”
““Huh!?””
Both of the that my actions are really weird
“Wait ait, you're actually calling us by our na?”
“And you're calling us se a chill”
I ignore their disgusted reactions as I keep my head lowered, and continue,
“I'll be honest I can't beat you in a 2 on 1 situation, sempais”
“Huh? What's that about?”
“What kind of fact are you saying right now?”
It really is a fact With those two upperclassmen as my opponent, someone like me can't possibly beat them
“—so I say, can I have a 1 on 1 fight with you?”
““””
Both of the my request
“Please I can't let ht now”
I bowed again
Upon looking at me like this,
“—you bastard You really like to spout such nonsense, huh?”
The bald Natsukawa-sempai really despises me as he says,
“You don't want a 2 on 1 battle? Did you forget what you did during the test of courage tournament?”
The test of courage was between the second and third years, and at that ti to get victory in the endat that tiitated when I used the bracelet, because of Himeji-san
What happened back then? Did I cause Hi to hurt Minaht
Once I think about this, my heart starts to feel heavier by the moment
“Sorry, please”
I give up on thinking as I beg the pair in front of me
I can't lose in such a situation I haven't said to Minami what I did—that I co her diary over to Linne-kun, and the translation over to Takashi+ro-seized to her I can't lose and disappear until Minami finishes her replenishment tests end and comes back
Natsukawa-se for my life
“Sorry Tsunemura I'll handle this”
He let his summoned beast take a step forward
“Thank y—”
“I'ht?”
Natsukawa-see places? I don't knohat that's going to dobutalone allows me to buy some time, and I have no reason to oppose to this
I agree to go along with hiree to this”, and the supervising teacher did give the permission
And after walking for a little while, we head to the field, where all sorts of subject battles are going on
Natsukawa-sempai stops in front of the hu teacher
“Hey sensei, I want to change the subject Is it okay?”
The teacher shook his head, 'according to the rules, a battle's not to be interrupted', after that,
“Ahh—is that so?”
Natsukawa-sempai murmurs impatiently, and uses his summoned beast to throw my summoned beast away at breakneck speed
“!?”
My summoned beast beast can't react due to this suddenin the way
And then, as the teacher was forcefullyan 'interference', and all the summoned beasts inside that field were erased
“Alright, due to an unfortunatethe japanese History you're good at”
Natsukawa-se to hide the fact that he deliberately aiunderestiht now I even think this is so thanks for
““Summon!””
Natsukawa-sempai and I don'taround because of the 'interference', and we call out our summoned beasts in the expanded field
3-A, Natsukawa Junpei, Huraphy), 225 points
Vs
2-F, Yoshi+ Akihisa, Humanities (japanese History), 242 points
I see the indicated score Thissomeone with a lower score
“1 on 1, little difference between us Just the situation I want”
Natsukawa-sempai snorted
“See tournament?”
Aly, ere also on the field back then Yuuji didn't take part, but Tsunemura-sempai's not around this tiht be the perfect situation to end everything between us”
“A rematch? How stupid? If I'usting face of yours again?”
Natsukawa-sempai's face contorted unhappily
“I' my debt here We'll settle this now, and I won't have to deal with you sli state; I don't want to get involved with you anymore”
Up till now, I've fought these upperclassmen quite a few times He means he wants to clear all the issues between us this time; the problem isn't about onhere in a battle, not for the sake of winning, but for the sake of severing ties with e against me, and he doesn't care about me anymore
“Don't space out with that stupid rotten expression We're starting”
Natsukawa-sempai's summoned beast readies it sword It's armed with an orthodox western sword and armor, not much different from the the opponents I battled till now
I let e into the enemy's clutches
I just swing the wooden sword doithout using any fancy tricks
The opponent takes a step back to dodge, and then took a large step forward to swing the sword in its hand
I block the attack with ain The opponent dodges, and again continues to attack
Right now, I' to focus on this battle
“This is ridiculous”
Natsukawa-sempai mutters in the midst of our battle
I ignore histhe wooden sword down to hold him off His summoned beast steps forward to take the attack
“Argh!”
“Just go by the wayside and fall dead!”
At this distance, I can't swing the sword or dodge, and the opponent swings a punch My sue, but I still took a punch in the abdo
I feel a slight, blunt pain in my abdomen This is the feedback I'm already used to
“Don't go panting on me now!”
Naturally, the opponent won't let go of this opportunity as I stagger back, and charges over to attack
I let my summoned beast raise its wooden sword
“Tch!”
I thought the opponent was about to swing a punch again, and hurriedly covered my abdomen with a hand
A hand alone wasn't enough to block the sword the opponent swung down, and so, my summoned beast took a deep slash in the shoulder
“Ughh!”
I' to the intense pain froave chase, instead saying arrogantly,
“Use that bracelet”
