It is a teacher's sorrow to have to mark a cross here

“—Summon” Takashi+ro-sempai calls out his summoned beast

The samurai summoned beast that caused much trouble just now appears

3-A, Takashi+ro Masaharu, Huraphy), 375 points

Vs

2-F, Yoshi+ Akihisa, Humanities (japanese History), 321 points

The subject we're coh there's still some difference in the score, it's still within my ability to take it on

“Akihisa, finish him off with a quick attack!”

“Right Got it”

I answer, and let my summoned beast sprint

There's a time limit to this battle

We can only maintain this 1-on-1 battle for a short time Once the enemy realizes our actions and help Takashi+ro-se the short time before reinforcement arrives

“Seriouslyhow annoying are you!?”

My su forward, and the eneives up on pursing as it takes a step back, while the ene a step forward

“Why is it that you are still able to say such ridiculous words even at thisabout this for her own sake, you should back down!”

The sharp blade stabs forward, aiht at my center, and I use the wooden sword to block the tip, tiptoeing aside to dodge

“Have you forgotten how you answered the question I asked?”

“Yoshi+ Akihisa-kun When a person with ability, but is unfairly treated, tries to get back the position he deserves, will you step in to interfere?”

How can I forget? At that tiht still hasn't changed It's because of this that I was so troubled, that I kept thinking

But—first

“I won't let Hio overseas”

I continue to parry the quick sword stabs as I dodge

And then, I attack back, only to be blocked

“What nonsense are you saying? She cannot possibly hope for such a thing! The worst, 4th rate facilities is not worth co to the best treatment overseas!”

I thought this way too There's a vast difference in studying environment between these two

But these are what Takashi+ro-sempai and I think It's different from hers

“Himeji-san said that she doesn't like to say farewell, and she said that she wants to be here In that case, I rather she stay here than go overseas to study”

“That is just a lie said to you because she wants to console youor sympathy Why do you not understand!?”

At first, I was skeptical too, that Hiht so that she wouldn't hurt me, because she's so kind

But this line did coe to confess to me If she doesn't like me sincerely, she couldn't possibly confess This can't be sympathy then

In that case, I—

“How can I doubt her!? I believe in Himeji-san's words!”

She said that she likes F class, and that's why she's able to work hard

She said that she likes me , and that's why she wants to stay here

I'er doubtful about these words I believe in these words, and I'll give hts!

“Tch! I a to a wall here!”

Takashi+ro-sempai's summoned beast leapt backwards to pull the distance It see me personally and has chosen to wait for reinforcements, which will definitely assure his victory

“Don't you run away!”

My suives pursuit at full speed

I stabhorizontally with all th, but the ene itself, so I'm unable to hit him

Using the chance presented when my summoned beast missed its attack, the enemy immediately leaps away to pull some distance between us

My su position to close the distance, and charges forward to attack

The ene to use the sae

“You will not be able to hit me, Yoshi+ Akihisa-kun”

The enemy mocked me
