Come to my office later, together with Tsuchiya.

“Good job everyone, thanks for your effort in taking those tests,”

Yuuji said, standing on the podium and putting his hand on the table.

We had tests for the whole morning. The tests finished not long ago. Now we are going to have lunch. To replenish the score we lost in all subjects, the amount of tests we took was scary.

“We will start the Test Summoning War with Class B this afternoon, are you ready to kill?”

“Oh----”

Morale was still high, and it was the our class's only weapon.

“The goal of this war is to hold the enemy in their classroom. Therefore we can’t afford to lose the battle at this corridor.”

“Oh----”

“Himeji Mizuki will be the commander there. Guys, be prepared and ready to die.”

“I…I will try my best.”

Himeji shyly walked out of the crowd, maybe she didn’t want to shout like the boys did.

“OH-----”

The morale of the frontline troops went over the limit since they were able to fight with a beautiful girl.

In conclusion, the key to this war is the battle at the corridor. If we lose there, we are finished. Therefore from the fifty students in Class F, we sent out forty of them into that battle. This troop will be led by Himeji, who is the strongest student in our class, second strongest in the whole school, so we should be able to win that battle without any hassle.

When the bell that announced the end of the lunch break rang, the war with Class B finally began.

“OK, everyone let’s go! The target is the systematic tables!”

“Yes Sir!”

To successfully hold the enemy in their classroom, we must take control of the momentum.

We rushed to the corridor outside Class B at full speed.

Since a lot of the students in Class B were good in non-science related subjects, and because the Mathematics teacher Hasegawa-sensei has a larger summon area, we picked Mathematics as our main subject for battle; in other words, if we wanted to finish the battle fast, Hasegawa-sensei would be very useful.

There was English essay teacher Yamada-sensei and physics teacher Kimura-sensei there on our side as well. This time we needed to increase the number of teachers to supervise the battle, and finish the enemies off as fast as possible!

“I can see Class B students!”

“They brought Takahashi-sensei!”

Class B students walked slowly in front of us, but there were only ten of them, they should be the vanguard and just wanted to test our ability.

“Don’t let them escape alive!”

Along with this threatening shout, the war against Class B has officially started.

Class B Nanoka Chounan VS Class F Kondo Yoshimune

Sum of All Subjects 1943 marks VS 764 marks

What? He is too strong! It is like a totally different level!

Class B Kaneda Ichiyuko VS Class F Muto Keita

Mathematics 159 marks VS 69 marks

Class B Satoi Mayuko VS Class F Kimishima Hiroshi

Physics 152 marks VS 77 marks

The difference between the fighting abilities was overwhelming, our frontline troops kept on losing. If we didn’t send in reinforcements before their scores reduced to zero, our numbers would be greatly decreased.

Just as I was trying to see whether we had any reinforcements or whether the route is being cut off by our enemies----

“I-I am late…s-sorry…”

Himeji hardly caught her breath and arrived at the scene, I thought she should be running all the way to the front line.

“Himeji Mizuki is here!”

One of the students in Class B shouted. It seemed that Class B already knew Himeji was not in Class A, and made appropriate investigation, I guess?

All the students in Class B were shocked when they heard that. It was very easy to see that they were scared of Himeji.

“Himeji, although you just arrived, can you please…”

“Y-Yes. I will go now.”

Himeji immediately dashed into the middle of the battlefield. Looking at her gave you the feeling of calmness, I really feel like taking a photo now and keeping it as a souvenir.

“Hasegawa-sensei, I am Iwashita Ritsuko from Class B; I would like to challenge to Mathematics: Himeji Mizuki from Class F!”

“Ah, Hasegawa-sensei, I am Himeji Mizuki, nice to meet you.”

Himeji was immediately targeted by the enemy, maybe she was the target that the enemies wanted to get rid of as soon as possible?”

“Ritsuko, I will help as well!”

Another girl from Class B stepped forward and summoned at the same time. Only two people from the ten students from Class B present here, it seemed that they were really scared of Himeji.

“Syokanju summoning!”

The magic circle appeared after the summoning. and the syokanju that we were all familiar with stood in front of us.

The enemies’ syokanjus used their swords and spears and pointed them towards Himeji’s syokanju, but her syokanju seemed to be very calm and just held the great sword that we have seen before.

It was now a face off between the three syokanjus with the faces of their respective owners, however---

“Eh? Himeji’s syokanju has an accessory.”

“Ah, yes. Because I am pretty good in Mathematics……”

“You can wear an accessory in the subject you are good at?”

The two-head tall Himeji’s syokanju had a beautiful looking bracelet on it's left wrist beside the great sword on her hand.

“T-That’s?”

“She is not an enemy we can handle!”

The enemies started panicking when they saw the bracelet.

Ah, this reminds me, wearing the bracelet means---

“Erm, I am going to attack.”

Himeji tightly held her hand; following her action, her Syokanju dashed towards the enemy from its left hand side.

“Wait a minute!”

“Ritsuko! Dodge the attack first!”

Both of their syokanjus jumped to the side with dramatic actions. Suddenly, the bracelet on Himeji’s syokanju hand emitted a bright light.

Beep!

“Ahhh!”

“Ritsu...Ritsuko!”

The instant the left arm emitted the light, one of the enemies’ syokanju that couldn’t escape in time was covered in flame.

Class F Himeji Mizuki VS Class B Iwashita Ritsuko & Kikuiri Mayumi

Mathematics 412 marks VS 189 marks & 151 marks

So wearing the bracelet means that the syokanju is capable of using a special ability? Although I have forgotten what is the requirement score for that, I did remember somewhere in the rules stated that students who score above a certain score are able to equip a bracelet on their syokanjus, which allow them to use a special ability. This rule has nothing to do with me so I have totally forgotten about it.

“So-sorry. I can’t be that gentle in the battlefield!”

Himeji’s Syokanju stuck to the enemy which had lost control due to dodging the previous attack, and cut the enemy and its weapon into half, killed it instantly and won the fight.

“Iwashita and Kikuiri have died in battle!”

“What! How’s that possible?”

“Himeji Mizuki is scarier than she was in the rumours!”

The remaining eight students from Class B looked extremely shocked; it was not surprising for them to look like that.

By the way, Himeji, you are too strong.

“E-Everyone, please do your best!”

Himeji said something that didn’t sound like a command from a commander, however it was extremely effective.

“I am going to unleash my power!”

“Himeji is the best!”

The number of Himeji believers had dramatically increased.

“Himeji, you can have a rest now!”

“Ah, yes.”

The enemies’ morale had significantly dropped, it was better to let Himeji to rest now. A special ability could deal a huge amount of damage but it would cost a lot of marks. Even if there was no Himeji in the fight, defeating the enemy vanguard was just a matter of time now.

“Swap with the main troop and retreat at the same time, don’t die in battle!”

And that’s the enemy’s command. Anyway we have achieved our target successfully. Let the enemy step back slowly, and restrict their actions in the Class B classroom, then the battle for today should be close to the end. It was thanks to Himeji’s extraordinary fighting ability that the plan flowed so smoothly, thank you very much!

“Akihisa, I will head back to the classroom now.”

“Huh? Why?”

Hideyoshi walked towards me when I was looking over the overall situation of the battle.

Go back? Did something happen to the main troop?

“The class leader for Class B is…”

“The guy named Nemoto.”

“You said Nemoto, could it be Nemoto Kyoji?”

“That’s right.”

The guy called Nemoto Kyoji had a very bad reputation. According to the rumours, he was a pro in doing dirty tricks, and would take whatever actions needed to achieve his goal. There were rumours about "Poison the opposing team in a ball game," "Bring weapons when fighting with others" and so on. I didn’t really believe he could be that bad, but being careful wouldn’t harm us at all.

“I see, then we should head back as soon as possible!”

“Although I don’t think Yuuji will fall for his trap, we better head back just to make sure everything is ok.”

After we informed Himeji about this, Hideyoshi and I brought a few men back to the classroom.

<center>☆</center>

“Wa, this is terrible!”

“I never would have imagined that they would actually do all this.”

“This is so mean.”

When we got back to the classroom, we could see there were holes all over the Japanese tables, pencils and erasers were all broken or split into two.

“This is bad, now we can’t replenish our score smoothly.”

“Yeah, this might be a minor problem, but it certainly will affect our score replenishment.”

By the way, I think Nemoto is a petty coward.

“Don’t worry about it too much. Although it takes some time to repair, it won’t affect our plan too much.”

“Well Yuuji, we will follow what you say.”

Something didn’t seem right.

“How did the classroom get this bad, and Yuuji, how did you not know anything about it?”

There were no problems in the classroom before the lunch break, it must have happened sometime between the start of the battle and now. However, Yuuji should have been in the classroom at that time and been able to stop them, right?

“They wanted to sign a treaty with me and I went to negotiate with them, so the classroom was empty at that time.”

“What treaty?”

“Well, if both of us can’t win the war before 4 p.m., we will maintain the situation of the war as it is and start the war again from 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. Both sides cannot do anything that is related to the Test Summoning War.”

“I see, and then you agreed?”

“That’s right.”

“But if it comes to the stage where stamina determines the result, we should have the advantage right?”

“That’s true for all of us, except Himeji.”

Ah, I see.

“After forcing them to stay in the classroom, the war ends for today, the true battle starts tomorrow.”

“That’s right. It seems we can’t take them down today.”

“At that time, Himeji’s fighting ability is more important than the fighting ability of the whole class.”

That meant the battle would focus in certain areas? Then it should be the same as the battle against Class D and let Himeji finish off the class leader, I guess?

“That’s why you accept their suggestion, and let Himeji fight in perfect condition?”

“Yes. This treaty is good for me.”

Is it? Good then, if you say so.

However, I keep feeling a little bit strange about this. They have destroyed our tables, and then signed a treaty that was good for us at the same time. I don’t think Nemoto Kyoji is such a naïve person.

“Akihisa, we should head to the frontline now, maybe they have used some dirty tricks again.”

Hideyoshi ran out of the classroom after he said that.

“Yeah. Yuuji, we will leave this to you.”

“Oh, I will go to prepare new pencils and erasers.”

Yuuji raised his hand and said goodbye, I turned away from him and chased Hideyoshi from behind.

I managed to catch up with Hideyoshi quickly without running at my full speed.

“I keep thinking we haven’t seen the last of them!”

“Yeah. I don’t think they will stop here, we better be careful.”

What would be the next dirty trick they use? Damn, they have stronger fighting ability than us, why don’t they fight with us face to face?

We were going to reach the battlefield.

“Remember to be careful!”

“You too, Hideyoshi!”

After reminding each other, we went back to our troop.

“Yoshii! You are finally back!”

The person who welcomed me back was Sugawa. Huh? Wasn’t Shimada supposed to control the troop?

“Sorry to keep you waiting! What is the situation now?”

“The situation is very bad for us.”

“Huh? Why?”

The enemy’s main troop never appeared, and our fighting ability is better than them, why are we in the bad situation now?

“Shimada was captured and held as a hostage.”

“What?”

Now they are using a hostage? Do you really believe you can win with using dirty tricks?

“Therefore the enemy only has two people left, but we can’t attack them at all. What should we do?”

Now, my troop is confronted with the enemy because of this incident.

“Hmmm, let me see the situation before I make the decision.”

“Then we should head there now, the enemy is blocking us in the corridor there”

Sugawa led the way, and I followed him at the back.

After walking through the human wall formed by my troop, it was clear that the situation in front of me was exactly the same as Sugawa said. Shimada and her Syokanju were being held as hostages by two Class B students. And they had a tuition teacher beside them as well.

“Shimada!”

“Yoshii, Yoshii!”

Why does this sound like a soap drama?

“Hold on there! If you get any closer, I will give her Syokanju the final hit, and send her to the tuition room!”

One of the enemies that captured Shimada stood out and restricted my action.

Not only would they let the precious female student in our class die, they also purposely held her as hostage to threaten us, and lower our morale at the same time. This strategy was really smart.

If we blindly dashed forward before we managed to defeat them, they would defeat Shimada and use the fact that she was sent to tuition room to make us feel guilty.

…This is nothing at all.

“Everyone, prepare to attack!”

“Leader, are you sure about this?”

There is no other way! We always have someone who sacrifices for the war! This is not revenge for being tortured every day, it is just a decision that a leader needs to make!

Even the enemy was calling for a stop, how uncool.

“Do you know why she was caught by us?”

“It’s because she is an idiot.”

“I am going to kill you!”

Huh? What? Why does Shimada sound stronger than me while being held as a hostage?

“This girl, she believed in the false information about you being injured, and left the troop alone to the nursing room to look for you.”

What did you say?

“Shimada…”

“W-What!”

Am I thinking too much? It seems like Shimada’s face is pretty red.

“How could you assassinate me when I am injured, are you a devil?”

“That was not the reason I went!”

This is so scary, now I can’t have a nap in the nursing room in peace.

“Is there anything wrong with visiting you and seeing how your wound is? I was worried about you!”

Huh?

“Shimada, is this true?”

“Y-Yes! Can’t I do that?”

Shimada looked a little bit angry and turned her head aside.

Really? She was worrying about me! That Shimada…

“Haha, now you understand. Listen to me and stop doing anything.”

“Everyone, attack!”

“Why?”

Why? Do you really need to ask that?

“She is not the real Shimada! She must be faked by one of the enemy! You guys picked the wrong person to fake! That Shimada will never be so gentle! If she is the real Shimada, she will definitely be very happy to send me to hell!”

“Oi, wait a minute! This person is the real Shimada!”

Class B students, look at how uncool you are.

“Shut up! After we have seen through your dirty strategy, you still want to continue using it? How ugly! ”

“I am telling you that she is the real one!”

Class B Suzumoto Jiro VS Class F Tanaka Akira

English Writing 33 marks VS 65 marks

Class B Yoshida Takuoh VS Class F Sugawa Ryou

English Writing 18 marks VS 59 marks

Defeat both of them first! Give their Syokanjus a fatal hit!

“Ah…”

“Help me-----”

Both of them were taken away by the tuition teacher instantly, this really felt good.

Then, what’s left is only----

“Everyone be careful! The enemy might cancel the camouflage anytime and attack us!”

This was the impostor who was trying to imitate Shimada!

“Yoshii, you are so mean! I was really worried about you…”

“Stop your clumsy act, you second rated actor!”

The real Shimada would never say something like that!

“It is true! I was really worrying about you!”

“Surround her. Even if she is from Class B, she can’t fight so many of us at the same time.”

“It is true! I heard ‘Yoshii saw Mizuki’s underwear and can’t stop his nosebleed,’ and got really worried!”

“Stop surrounding her! She is the real Shimada!”

She was the only person who would fall for this sort of idiot lie.

“Shimada, are you alright?”

I lent my hand to Shimada, who was sitting on the ground. Damn you Class B, how dare you use such a dirty trick!

“It's good that you are fine, I was worried about you!”

“…”

“Go have a rest in the classroom, you must be very tired right?”

“…”

“By the way, these guys really are cowards; do they have pride for being human?”

There was no reaction from Shimada.

“Ah----Shimada, actually----”

“What!”

She finally turned her head and looked at me.

I tried my best to give a perfect smile filled with apologies to Shimada, who was staring at me right now.

“I know you are the real Shimada.”

She went berserk.

<center>☆</center>

“Where am I?”

When I regained consciousness, I saw the ceiling that was full of dirt. This is…Ah, our classroom.

“Ah, you finally woke up?”

The cute voice came from my side; could it be the healing voice of Himeji?

“I was worried about you. Yoshii, your wound looked like you were beaten by someone and then pushed down some stairs.”

Correct answer.

“Even if it is the Test Summoning ‘War,’ there is no need to injure someone like this right?”

No, instead of calling it a "war," you should call it a one sided slaughter.

“It's nothing important. How is the Test Summoning War going?”

I tried to sit up on the tatami and felt pain all over my body.

“According to the treaty, it is now armistice, the war will continue tomorrow.”

“How is the situation?”

“We sort of attacked the front of their classroom as planned. However our losses were greater than what we imagined.”

Yuuji read the damage report on the paper one by one. Although it was sort of within our expectation, this was still a huge loss. It seemed that we didn’t have a total win in the battle at corridor, but that’s the result of putting most of our men in, not a good result for our overall strategy.

“Although some accidents happened, it seems that things went smoothly until now?”

“Yeah, you could say that!”

However, the opponent was that coward Nemoto Kyoji, he must have had some hidden plan.

“… (Knocking on the door)”

“Oh, Silent Pervert! Is there anything you want to report?”

Before I realized it, Silent Pervert was beside me.

Today, Silent Pervert was a member of the intelligence team, so he did not take part in the battle. His job was to stay alert and to record what was going on in the enemy troop.

“Huh? Something strange is going on in Class C?”

“…(Nodded)”

According to Silent Pervert’s information, Class C was preparing for the Test Summoning War. If they are not planning to challenge Class A, then there is only one reason----

“They want to take on the easy target? They are such cowardly bastards.”

As Yuuji just said, they were planning to attack the winner of this war, because it was easier to take on the opponents who were tired and exhausted.

“Yuuji, what do you plan to do?”

“Hmmm, what should I do?”

Yuuji raised his head and looked at the clock. It was four-thirty now, not too late.

“We better sign a treaty with Class C as well. If we threaten them that we are going to use Class D to attack them, I believe they will give up the idea of attacking us.”

“Also, they don’t believe that we will win right?”

It shouldn’t be too hard to sign a treaty with Class C.

“OK, let’s go now!”

“Yeah.”

I injected my power into the aching body and stood up. My body seemed to be fine.

“As a safety switch, Hideyoshi, you stay in the classroom.”

“Huh? Why? Is it ok for me not to go with you guys?”

“If your face is seen, my hidden strategy that I leave for emergency situation will not work.”

“I don’t quite understand what you are talking about. If you say so, I will just do as you say!”

Hideyoshi stepped down obediently. But, what is this emergency situation he is talking about?

“Then let’s go! It will be a little dangerous since we are short on numbers.”

Without Hideyoshi; Yuuji, Himeji, Silent Pervert, and I headed towards Class C.

“It took me a long time to clean Yoshii’s blood that spilt on my body; I must make him pay later.”

“Was it Yoshii’s fault?”

While we were in the corridor, we saw Shimada, who was using her handkerchief to wipe her hand, and Sugawa, who had his bag on his back.

“Ah, Shimada and Sugawa, nice timing, let’s go to Class C together.”

Although I didn’t think it would happen, just in case we get attacked by Class C students like I was, it would be dangerous to be going with only a few of us. Also we needed extra people to guard Himeji as well. I kept on thinking and called on my two best friends in front of me at the same time.

Of course, as my best friends, they won’t reject my invitation.

“Hmm, OK!”

“O, no problem for me”

Now I have backup I can trust.

“Hurry up, otherwise Class C class leader will be going home.”

“Yeah, let’s go!”

After Shimada and Sugawa joined the team, the six of us continued to head towards Class C.

“I am the class leader of Class F Sakamoto Yuuji, who is the class leader here?”

There were still a lot of students remaining in Class C. It was just as Silent Pervert reported; they were preparing for a Test Summoning War and waiting to pick the easier target.

“I am. What do you want?”

The girl appeared in front of us had very short hair, I remembered she was the star of the volleyball club, Koyama.

“I am here to negotiate with you as the class leader of Class F, are you free now?”

“Negotiate? Ha…”

Although I don’t like to badmouth girls, Koyama is so far away from being gentle and steady. After she heard what Yuuji said, for some reason, she showed an evil smile on her face.

“Yeah, I am here to sign a treaty of mutual non-aggression.”

“A treaty of mutual non-aggression, right? What do you think, Nemoto?”

Koyama turned her head, and talked to the group of students in the corner.

Huh? Nemoto?

“Of course not, because there is no need for that right?”

“What? Nemoto! Why is Class B here?”

The person who brought a group of people and walked towards us, was our current enemy--- Class B's class leader Nemoto Kyoji. He had short hair and an unshaven beard around his mouth, plus the evil looking eye. He looked totally different from Yuuji who had a pair of sharp eyes.

“Class F, aren’t you mean? How dare you break our promise? I thought we agreed that we’d stop anything related to the Test Summoning War?”

“What did you say…”

“You were the one who broke the treaty first right? I am just doing what you had done!”

After he said that, the group of people at his back started moving. The person who hid behind him was Hasegawa-sensei, who was short and was staying on the battle field just now.

“Hasegawa-sensei! Yoshino from Class B wants to challenge----”

“Not so fast! Sugawa from Class F will accept the challenge! Syokanju Summoning!”

Just when Yoshino from Class B planned to surprise attack Yuuji, Sugawa jumped out and accepted the challenge for Yuuji. Good job, Sugawa!

“We didn't violate the treaty! This is just between Class C and Class F---”

“It is no use, Akihisa! Nemoto will definitely use the sentence ‘anything related to Test Summoning War’ as an excuse!”

“That’s right, and that’s what I will do~”

“Nonsense!”

“Nonsense is also a very useful theory!”

“Akihisa, run!”

“Damn!”

Leaving Sugawa who was fighting at the back, the rest of us left Class C as fast as we could.

Class B Yoshino Takayuki VS Class F Sugawa Ryou

Mathematics 161 marks VS 41 marks

“Don’t let them get away! Defeat Sakamoto!”

Nemoto’s voice and the footsteps sound came from our back.

Honestly, the current situation was very dangerous. Not only that we could not fight with Class B students face to face, our only hope Himeji already used up a lot of Mathematics marks. Nemoto must have known that Himeji had used up a lot of Mathematics marks, so he called Hasegawa-sensei here. It was a dirty trick, but it was an effective one.

“Ha, Hu…”

“Himeji, are you alright?”

We were running on the corridor at full speed, but Himeji’s steps were slowing down. She was not good at sports. For a physically weak student like her, it must have been very hard to run like this.

“Err… You guys c-can go on ahead…”

Himeji was trying to catch her breath while saying that. We would not be able to escape the enemies attack with her like this, but we couldn’t lose her here as well. If we lost Himeji’s fighting ability, who knew what would happen to the war tomorrow. Also I couldn’t just leave a girl here and run for my life!

Is there nothing we can do now?

“Yuuji!”

“What, Akihisa!”

“Leave this to me! Yuuji, you retreat with Himeji now!”

I stood and looked back; Himeji and Yuuji ran past me.

I never imagined I would have a chance to say some cool stuff like this, did I look cool enough?

“Y-Yoshii, don’t, worry about me.”

“I got it, I will leave it to you.”

Yuuji stopped Himeji’s word, and agreed with my suggestion. This was the Yuuji I know, never letting his feelings affect his judgement, and calmly made decisions according to the situation.

“…(Stops running)”

“Wait, Silent Pervert, you need to escape as well. I think the key for tomorrow’s battle is you.”

Silent Pervert stopped with me at the same time. I felt grateful for that, but I thought he had a more important mission to accomplish; we could not lose him at situation like this!

“Then it should be ok for me to stay right? Leader?”

Shimada stopped running, and stood beside me.

“Can I rely on you?”

“Of course you can, leave everything to me!”

“…(Good luck)”

Silent Pervert gave us a big thumbs up, and then ran away from the scene immediately.

“…What should we do now? Leader?”

“Ah, I have an idea.”

“Huh? Really?”

Shimada looked at me with a shocked face.

Wa--- it seemed that she never trusts me, what an impolite vice leader.

“I don’t want to end up in the tuition room either, leave this to me!”

“Found them! Yoshii and Shimada from Class F!”

“Kill them!”

The enemies approached us quickly. Hasegawa-sensei was there as well.

“Class B students! Stop there!”

To decrease their morale, I purposely used strong language to stop them.

“You are pretty brave. Do you think you can stop us with only two of you?”

“No, before we fight I have something to say to Hasegawa-sensei.”

If we showed the enemies weakness, we would lose control of the situation, so I continued speaking strongly.

(Yoshii, what are you thinking? Are you going to complain to Hasegawa-sensei and say they are disobeying the treaty?)

(Well leave it to me, I have an idea.)

I whispered softly with Shimada who was starting to worry now. Ah, she was worrying too much.

“What is it, Yoshii?”

Hasegawa-sensei walked to the front. She was still trying to catch her breath, maybe she needed more exercise?

“Do you know that Class B disobeyed the treaty?”

If she was a teacher, she wouldn’t stand beside the students who were not obeying the rule. That’s definitely true for someone who was responsible for being a judge.

(That cunning Nemoto must have thought of a good excuse.)

“From the fact that I have heard, the one who broke the treaty was Class F, wasn’t it? If you are complaining that you get attacked because of this, before saying anything about the treaty, you should check your personality first shouldn’t you?”

I thought the teacher’s comment was a little bit rude. Although, I believed the facts were twisted by Nemoto when he was explaining these facts to Hasegawa-sensei, just as Shimada said.

(It is exactly the same as I imagined until now, what are you planning to do?)

“…”

(I am looking forward to your strategy.)

Shimada winked.

Confronted by her expectation, I made the following reply.

“We are dead…”

“This guy's an idiot!”

That is so rude.

<center>☆</center>

“Sakamoto! Yoshii… Is he… Is he going to be all right?”

“Of course! I can’t guarantee about others, but he will definitely have no problem.”

“But…”

“He is really not good in studying. However, even if you have a bad result, it is not everything right?”

“Wh-What does that mean?”

“That idiot… He is not a normal ‘Kansatsu Shobunsha’.”

<center>☆</center>

“Syokanju Summoning!”

Four enemies summoned their Syokanjus at the same time.

We kept on running away, but this corridor was full of dead ends. It was just a matter of time before we arrived in the battle area.

“Yoshii, what should we do?”

“You're asking me? Then who should I ask?!”

“Anything is fine, just think of something!”

Shimada and I were running side by side and shouting to each other at the same time.

“OK, I got it! Shimada, you try to take them on at the same time!”

“OK OK, then?”

“My chance of escaping will be higher.”

“I will definitely finish you off one day!”

Now we were at the end of the corridor. There was only a wall with a window in front of us.

“Shimada, summon your Syokanju now.”

“Summon it?”

“Then use it to receive damage instead of me.”

“Go die!”

“Wa! Why did you suddenly go berserk? Are you a berserker?”

I kept running and dodged the punches that Shimada threw at me at the same time.

Damn. Now we were at a dead end.

I rested my back on the wall and looked forward, and saw the enemies getting closer and closer.

“You guys must be very tired by running around!”

“By the way, do we have to chase them?”

“There is nothing we can do. While we were being idiots playing with them, Sakamoto’s group escaped.”

“Then let’s finish them and go back!”

When they realized we had nowhere to run, the four of them looked like they had used up all their energy and started chatting in front of us.

Since there is no reason to chase us, why not just let us go!

“Oi, did you chat enough?!”

Shimada was angry and scolded them when she saw that they were being so impolite. Oh, at situation like this, she was still very aggressive.

“Because…Ah!”

“What?”

“You are the lousiest class.”

How dare he say something like this! I must say something in return!

“We are not the lousiest class! It's just the students that are lousy!”

“Yoshii, shut up!”

Huh? I was trying to fight back, why was she so angry?

“Don’t look down on us because we are Class F!”

“Oh really? What can the Class F level do?”

“Then feel it yourself! Syokanju Summoning!”

Shimada shouted out and the Chibi Shimada that I had seen a lot of times appeared.

“That is what I’ll do! I will let you know the difference in our ability!”

The guy from Class B who was quarreling with Shimada also summoned his syokanju. It held its knife and dashed towards us. Although the enemy couldn’t do any complicated moves, it had enough power.

“You!”

Shimada also let her syokanju rush forward.

Then the enemy’s strong attack caused Shimada’s syokanju to---

Class B Kudo Shinji VS Class F Shimada Minami

Mathematics 159marks VS 171 marks

“You, are you really from Class F?”

No, they had the same ability! What’s going on?

“He he, it is your fault for choosing mathematics. For this subject, it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand Kanji[http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Baka_to_Tesuto_to_Syokanju:Volume1_Translator%27s_Notes#Question_6]!”

OH, Shimada you are so cool!

“By the way, Shimada what's your score for Ancient Literature?”

“Just a single digit!”

She is so sure! It is so cool as well!

“Kudo, do you need help? You don’t want to be sent to the tuition room like this right?”

“Damn, please help me!”

Kudo regretted and bite his lips. It was really a shame to ask for help when fighting Class F.

Then the situation was not looking good for Shimada. Both syokanjus were using their weapons and fighting with all their strengths, none of them can move now. If the number of enemies increased, she would definitely lose.

“Shimada, do you need help? You don’t want to be sent to the tuition room like this right?”

“You'll just get in my way!”

“You are so mean!”

I regretted and bit my lips. She is so mean to me!

However, this was no time for jokes. No matter how tired I was, I shouldn’t just run away in a situation like this. It was time for me to join the battle.

“Syokanju Summoning!”

A familiar magical circle appeared beside me. The syokanju that had the same amount of fighting ability as my mathematics score, slowly showed itself.

Its strong looking face!

Its sturdy body!

Its fast and swift moves!

Its absolute strength it showed when it was summoned!

“Don’t worry about Yoshii! You can see that he is just a weakling!”

“Pay me back! Pay me back my handsome descriptions!”

“Go away, you weakling!”

“Shimada, are you really my partner? Why do you insult me so much!”

It was true that my syokanju only had a bokuto[http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Baka_to_Tesuto_to_Syokanju:Volume1_Translator%27s_Notes#Question_6] on its hand and looked very weak.

Now I was surrounded by the enemies (one of them was my classmate)!

“Now we're in trouble.”

Shimada’s face was slightly twisted.

Although she could win against the enemies, the difference in the score was small. It was obvious that Shimada had consumed a huge amount of marks.

“Goodbye!”

The Class B student controlled her syokanju and attacked, Shimada’s syokanju couldn’t dodge it. Now is the time for me to show up!

“Taste my kick!”

I let my syokanju dash forward and trip my enemy over from the side.

“Ah!”

Underestimating my ability plus unfamiliarity with controlling a syokanju, the enemy tripped over easily.

“This is not the end of it!”

I used my bokuto and swung towards the enemy, hit it into the ground. Now is the time!

“Ah----”

My syokanju quickly grabbed the back of the head of the enemy syokanju, and thrust its head towards the ground.

Boom! It made a loud noise that could be heard anywhere along the corridor.

“Huh?”

Everyone said that at the same time.

The result of the battle was decided instantly.

<center>☆</center>

Class B Sanada Yuka VS Class F Yoshii Akihisa

Mathematic 166 marks VS 51 marks

The score of the battle just now appeared in the air.

It is so embarrassing! Her score is triple mine!

“What! Sanada’s score is higher right? Why was she defeated by such a weak syokanju?”

Kudo from Class B complained to the teacher. This had nothing to do with the teacher, what can you get from her?

“Huh? My syokanju is still alive?”

The syokanju that was beaten into the ground stood up, the power was really not enough…

“Yoshii, what happened?”

“Ah… I guess these are maybe the few advantages for being a ‘Kansatsu Shobunsha’?”

From everyone’s performance in the war against Class D, I realized that controlling syokanju was not an easy task.

The extraordinary power and the difference in size, these made controlling syokanju more difficult. Therefore everyone only used dash attacks or simple attack methods, and let the score to determine the result.

“What do you mean by advantages?”

“In other words, I am used to controlling syokanju!”

As a "Kansatsu Shobunsha," I had summoned my syokanju countless time, and the pain and tiredness that bounced back to me gave some advantages---- it forced me to make my Syokanju perform more complicated actions. If I only knew how to perform simple actions such as "run" or "swing the knife," I could never do those extra jobs given to me.

“This is just an accident!”

The enemy raised its knife again and attacked me. However her terrified expression made me a little bit happy.

“Ha!”

Facing the enemy’s knife, I made my Syokanju block its attack. As the score showed, our power difference was threefold. If I took the damage directly, the bokuto would definitely break into two, so I must defend the attack by diverting the enemy’s attacking force.

“Ah!”

The enemy’s knife was thrown sideway, and it's body was open for attack.

“Haaa!”

I let my Syokanju dash forward and gave it a hit at its waist, then another hit on its head.

Class B Sanada Yuka VS Class F Yoshii Akihisa

Mathematic 126 marks VS 51 marks

The value shown had made a few changes. I have already bullied the enemy like this, but we still had a huge gap in our power. My Syokanju is really weak!

“We better take them seriously!”

“Although I don’t want to bully Class F like this, we can’t just stand here and look at this mess.”

The other two people at the back walked out. No matter what, this situation was just too bad right?

“Ah, wait a minute. At least have a fair fight, two versus two duels!”

“Yoshii, you are wrong, it's not four against two now.”

“Huh? The backup has arrived?”

“It is five versus one now!”

“Shimada, are you going to betray me now?”

Just how much does she dislike me?

“I am coming, take this!”

Along with some useless shout, the enemies' syokanju attacks came. I let my syokanju duck to dodge the attacks.

“This guy!”

“The undead guy!”

Wa! The number of enemy syokanjus had just increased by two! Was this the so called “death by dismemberment” punishment?

The enemy syokanjus stood side by side and rushed towards me. I should avoid being surrounded before trying to defeat them.

“It is clear that we should be able to kill him in one hit…”

“None of our attacks land on him…”

“This guy is just like Metal SlOme.”

I am not that weak!

“Hey!”

I angrily dashed into one of the enemy’s stomach and gave him a punch, right on target!

And I hurt my hand. That was the result of the reacting force.

“Should we start now?”

“Damn! I am retreating now!”

Kudo realized that he couldn’t win in a one on one fight so he decided to retreat. He wasted a lot of marks in the fight just now, so it was a good idea to run away. Now it became three versus two--- No, Shimada had also spent a lot of marks too, so it is now three versus one.

“Shimada, now!”

I gave an instruction to Shimada who was not being attacked by the enemies at the moment, and who was looking towards the fire extinguisher I used before.

“Roger!”

Shimada picked up the fire extinguisher and pulled out the safety switch. Now we should be able to run away-----

“…”

--but she is not moving now. What’s wrong?

“Quickly use it!”

“Ah, what should I do?”

She looked extremely smug now.

“Sh-Shimada! What do you want?”

Shimada had shown her true self in a dire situation like this! It was very hard to fight against three opponents at the same time!

“What do I want? Ah, right----”

“I will do anything you want!”

“Then firstly, let’s change how we call each other!”

“I will do it! Please let me change it!”

“Then, I will call you Aki, and you will call me Minami-sama.”

“Mi-Minami-sama! Is that ok?”

“This holiday, I feel like going to the ‘La Pedice’ in front of the station, and eating some crêpes there.”

“Damn! I can only live with salt water! How can you think of such a luxurious idea--- Ah! Okay okay, I will treat you, Minami-sama! Please allow me to give you a treat, don’t leave me alone!”

“Good, and one last thing.”

“More? Give me a break!”

Shimada looked very happy.

“Say you will love me forever?”

What! This is like looting in a burning house! I will remember this!

“You will love me forever.”

I repeated exactly what she had just said. Now she should have nothing to complain about right?

“Idiot!”

(Blowing sound)

The fire went all out.

We had white powder all over our bodies and barely escaped with our lives.

But why did Shimada look like she was in a bad mood?

<center>☆</center>

“Ah----I am exhausted!”

“Y-Yoshii! Are you alright?”

Himeji opened the door and dashed out. Her bouncing breasts were really dazzling.

“Yeah. This is nothing---- Ah, it hurts!”

Shimada fiercely stepped on my leg. For some reason Shimada was really angry with me today.

“Humph!”

“S-Shimada, what did I do wrong?”

(Scary stare!)

“Ah, n, no, Minami...”

That gaze that could kill anyone was focusing on me now.

Although she specially approved me to remove the "sama" honorific, the way I call her couldn’t be reverted.

I couldn’t really get use to calling her Minami in such a short amount of time.

“Why did the relationship between you two become very good now?”

“Huh? You mean us?”

If our relationship was good, she wouldn’t be stepping on my feet and threatening me at the same time right?

“Ah, you are back? Thanks for all the hard work.”

“You look fine.”

“Yeah, I am back.”

Yuuji and Hideyoshi walked out as well. Silent Pervert didn’t seem to worry about us so much, but he also slightly nodded towards me.

“Then everyone.”

“Huh?”

Yuuji looked at everyone and said,

“Now the situation shows that Class C is our enemy. Since they haven’t attacked us now, they will be declaring war with us immediately after this war ends. To tell the truth, we don’t really stand a chance if we are fighting Class C immediately after Class B.”

They must be thinking about the same thing. Even if we win this war, they won’t give us any time to rest, and attack us immediately.

“Then what should we do? Even if we win this war, we will only be an easy target for Class C right?”

“That’s true…

“Don’t worry.”

Confronted by a troubling group, Yuuji stared with his energetic and wild look and said,

“Since they are going to attack like this, I will counter their attack in my way.”

“Your way?”

“Yeah, I will return them a big favour tomorrow morning.”

We were dismissed after that and continued the war tomorrow.

Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume1 The Ninth Question

2010-01-04T16:33:59Z

190.107.64.12: /* The Ninth Question */

===The Ninth Question===

'''Please answer the following question:'''

Please list the five basic nutrition which is required to maintain human life.

'''Himeji Mizuki’s Answer:'''

“① Fats ② Carbohydrates ③ Proteins ④ Vitamins ⑤ Minerals”

'''Teacher’s Comment:'''

Exactly what we expect from Himeji, well done!

'''Yoshii Akihisa’s Answer:'''

“① Sugar ② Salt ③ Tap water ④ Rain water ⑤ Spring water"

'''Teacher’s Comment:'''

[[image:BTS vol 01 235.jpg|thumb]]
Aren’t you the only one who can survive with these?

'''Tsuchiya Kouta’s Answer:'''

“It is called menarche, the first period since the female was born. In medical term, this period is called the menstrual period. Menarche is closely related to the age and weight factors. It usually appears when the female’s body weight reached 43 kg, but the age factor would differ between each individual. In Japan, the average age is 12 years old. There are other factors beside weight, such as race, weather and social environment that will affect the time that menarche occurs…”

“Menarche may occur before the female was ten years old, which is termed isolated premature menarche. Besides that, menarche that occurred after fifteen years old is called delayed menstruation. Also, if the menarche never occurred until eighteen years old is called primary amenorrhea…”

'''Teacher’s Comment:'''

I am sorry to inform you that the health education examination had ended an hour ago.

After that, I went to the teachers’ office to accept the personal teaching from them. Then I went home with a very tired body and fell asleep as soon as I collapsed onto my bed. I was totally fatigued and dropped into dreamland like a piece of torn cloth.

We had a meeting after the exam for replenishing our scores in the next morning.

It was the final tactical meeting before facing our last opponent, Class A, and saying goodbye to the Class F classroom.

“First of all, I would like to thank everybody who helped Class F make it this far. I am really grateful for all the help you guys offered.”

“Yuu…Yuuji, what’s wrong with you? It is so unlike you to say something like that!”

“Yeah, I think so too, but these words come from the bottom of my heart.”

I am touched by his words. Who could have ever imagined us, the Class F students, to achieve so much in this war…

“Since we made it this far, we will do everything to win the war against Class A. We will prove to the teachers together, that exam result are not everything, OK?”

“YEAH---!”

“THAT'S RIGHT---!”

“There is more to life than studying!”

Before the last fight, I can feel that our hearts are joined together as one.

“Thank you very much. About the fight with Class A, I plan to challenge them to a duel.”

I am not so surprised because I heard about it just before the meeting. However, those who had just heard it for the first time seem to be a bit shocked; the room are filled with uneasiness.

“What does that mean?”

“Who will represent us in the duel?”

“Are you sure we can win this?”

“Calm down every one! I am going to explain my plan now.”

Yuuji slammed the table to calm everyone down.

“The people who will be dueling, of course, will be me and Kirishima Shouko.”

The Class A class leader is Kirishima Shouko and the Class F class leader is Sakamoto Yuuji. If someone needed to be chosen to represent the class in a duel, it would definitely be the class leader.

I understood everything up until this point.

However, I did not understand how Yuuji could win the duel.

The enemy is Kirishima. Not only she is the head of student union, her test results are also so much higher than Himeji, who is already too good for Class B students. Although this sounds really bad, but----

“Idiot Yuuji can never win against--- WAH!”

A Stanley knife suddenly flies pass my cheek. Damn you Yuuji, are you planning to kill me?

I don’t think he is that cruel. No matter how bad Yuuji is, he won’t purposely consider killing his friends…

“Next time the target will be your ear.”

It seems that I am not Yuuji’s friend.

“But just as Akihisa said, Shouko is much stronger. If I directly challenge her, I might not stand a chance to win.”

Since you admit you can’t win, there is no need to throw that Stanley knife towards me right?

“However wouldn’t it be the same as our fight against Class D and Class B? We will definitely lose if we fight with them head on.”

But we have continued to win until now.

“This time it will be the same. I shall defeat Shouko and Class F will get Class A’s classroom. It will not change the result that the victory will belong to us. ”

Yuuji leads us to win the Test Summoning War that we thought we could never win, so although it still doesn’t sound very convincing, there is no one in the class who will disagree with his idea now.

“Leave everything to me! I shall let everyone see the power of the former ‘Whiz Kid’.”

“OHHHH----”

It seems that there is no need to ask everyone's opinion. We all have faith in Yuuji.

“Now, let me explain the tactic in detail… I plan to challenge her within a limited scope.”

“Limited scope? Which subject do you want to pick?”

“Japanese history.”

Japanese history? Even if Kirishima was not very good in Japanese history, I never heard of Yuuji being very good in it either. Why did he want to pick Japanese history?

“However I would like to limit the scope of the examination. The difficulty will be at the primary school level and the maximum score will be one hundred. Syokanjus will not be used and the result will just depend on the score in the examination.”

A primary school level exam with maximum score of one hundred?

Under this condition, it will be generally assumed that both of them will be scoring one hundred and the person who makes the first mistake will lose. In that case, the challenge will be how focused they are. It seems there is more chance for us to win this compared to fighting directly.

“However if both of you have the same scores, you will get new questions right? In that case the difficulty of the questions might increase. Isn’t this a disadvantage for Yuuji, who has stopped studying for a period of time?”

“Yeah, Akihisa is right.”

Although it seems like we have a chance on winning in this plan, this is also a dangerous gamble. And the key person in this plan will be Yuuji?

“Hey, don’t underestimate me. In any case, a tactic that purely counts on luck is not a tactic at all.”

“What? Yuuji, you know how to make Kirishima lose focus in the exam?”

“No. I don’t think that girl will be defeated by primary school level questions just because of her losing focus.”

That’s right. Besides that, the techniques that could be used in a supervised exam can never affect Kirishima. Then what can he do to win?

“Yuuji, stop hiding the plan from us! It is about time to let us know what your trump card is!”

Everyone in the class nodded after Hideyoshi had spoken.

“Ah, Sorry. The opening speech is longer than I expected.”

Yuuji shakes his head, and starts talking again.

“There is only one reason that made me choose this duel. That is because I know that girl will definitely answer one question incorrectly.”

One question? Which question is it?

“That question is ---- ‘Taika Reform’.”

“Taika Reform? Is it the sort of question asking when did who did what? Will these sorts of primary school student level questions come out in the examination?”

Although I don’t think the school will prepare that sort of questions for the students here, but the school which aims for encouraging students to further their studies might have questions like that.

“No, not such a detailed question. It is a much simpler one.”

“You mentioned simple, could it be asking about the year?”

“Oh Hideyoshi, BINGO! It is just like what you said, if the question about the year came out, it would be our victory.”

In what year did Taika Reform happen? Such elementary question, will that smart Shouko answer incorrectly? Even I know that ‘Nightingale cried. Taika Reform’[http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Baka_to_Tesuto_to_Syokanju:Volume1_Translator%27s_Notes#Question_9], even I can remember the year using this sentence!

“Taika Reform happened in year 645. This question is so easy even Akihisa could get it right.”

Please…Don’t…Look at me…

“However Shouko will definitely answer this question incorrectly and victory will belong to us. At that time we could say goodbye to this lousy classroom as we planned.”

Come to think of it, there is something that I am curious about for a long time---

“Errr----Sakamoto.”

“Eh? What’s wrong, Himeji?”

“Do you know Kirishima…very well?”

That’s right. Yuuji had been using “that girl” or “Shouko” to call Kirishima. If they don’t know each other very well, he won’t use such word to call her.

It couldn’t be, that this guy in front of me… Not only Himeji likes him, even Kirishima who is smart and pretty can’t escape from him?

“Yeah, she is my childhood friend.”

“Everyone, GO!”

“What? Why does everyone follow Akihisa’s order and hold their slippers on their hands?”

“Shut up, you are the enemy of men! We shall use you as a sacrifice before we defeat Class A!”

“What did I do wrong?”

There is no need to trade words. All men in the class reach the same agreement. I am blessed to be able to study in such a united class.

“Is this your last words? Wait, Sugawa, it is too early to take off your socks. We shall put that forbidden weapon into his mouth after we subdue him.”

“Understood!”

Enemy of men, enjoy forty-seven pairs of high school male students’ smelly socks!

“Err, Yoshii.”

“Eh? What’s up, Himeji?”

“Does Yoshii like Kirishima?”

“Ah, so so! She is a very pretty girl!”

“...”

“Eh? Himeji, why are you preparing to attack me? And Minami, why are you holding the teacher's table and aiming at me?”

“Everybody calm down!”

Hideyoshi claps his hands loudly to stop the situation from getting worse; he is really calm.

“Humph, Hideyoshi don't you hate Yuuji?”

“Cool down and think again everyone. It is Kirishima Shouko that we are talking about right? I don't think she will be interested in male such as Yuuji.”

Oh, that’s right.

“Actually, she should be interested in the other person…”

“You are right.”

All of us suddenly focus on one particular person.

“W-What? Could it be I did something wrong?”

Himeji starts to get panic. Don’t worry, you didn’t do anything wrong. Although you didn’t do anything, it is very likely that someone will do something to you.

“Anyway, Shouko and I were childhood friends, and I purposely taught her the wrong answer to that question when we were young.”

Although I still doubt his relationship with Kirishima, I will let it go for now since Kirishima only like girls.

“That girl will not forget anything she learned because she is the best student in second year.”

A smart brain which will remember things easily will be the key to her failure this time.

“I will make use of this to defeat her, and change our tables to----”

“High-class system tables!”

<center>☆</center>

“A duel?”

“That’s right. Class F and Class A class leaders will represent their classes in a duel to decide the victory of Test Summon War.”

This is the usual war declaration.

The messengers who were sent to declare the war with Class A are the leader Yuuji, and the key members of our class such as Himeji, Hideyoshi, Silent Pervert and me.

If we do this every time, my uniform will not be torn all the time.

“Err, what are you guys planning?”

The person who is negotiating with Yuuji now is Hideyoshi------- ‘s sister Kinoshita Yuuko. She looks exactly like the female version of Hideyoshi. However, if I admit I am interested in her that would mean that I am admitting to have the same feeling towards Hideyoshi…

“Our aim is definitely winning this war.”

Kinoshita Yuuko shows that she is suspecting us. That is understandable, because we are the lower ranked class, who seeks to challenge the top student in the year --- Kirishima to a duel, which is totally unreasonable. It makes sense that she is afraid that we are planning something here.

“Although I think this is a good idea to get rid of the troublesome Test Summoning War, there is no need to take the risk.”

“You are really smart!”

An expected answer, now the negotiation officially started.

“By the way, how is the war between your class and Class C?”

Yuuji crosses his hand and uses his hand to support his lower jaw. He acts calmly and said.

“Although it took a while, we are too good for them, so no problem at all.”

Class C was taunted by Hideyoshi and had a war with Class A. The war only took about half a day. Now Class C is using Class D’s level equipment in class.

“Class B seems to be interested in having a war with you!”

“Class B… You mean THAT from yesterday?”

“Yeah, the quality of the class can be easily seen from the class leader. Although they haven’t officially declared war, who knows what will happen later!”

“But Class B already had a war with Class F. So within the three months preparation period, they should have no right to declare war themselves right?”

One of the rules of Test Summoning War is there are three months preparation period in between wars.

The class that loses in the war will have no right to declare another war in three months. This is to prevent the losing class from challenging the winning class, and make the war become an infinite loop.

“You should know that, no matter how things appear in the war, the war is ended through a ‘Peace Treaty,’ so they are not restricted by this rule… Not only Class B, things are the same for Class D.”

That’s the reason why we didn’t take away their class equipment.

“Is that a threat?”

“This doesn’t sound too good, how about calling this a request?”

I have a feeling that Yuuji looks exactly like Nemoto. Using this sort of negotiation technique makes him no different from villains.

“OK, I understand. Although I don’t know what you are planning, there is no way our class leader will lose. I accept your suggestion.”

“Eh? Really?”

She accepted so easily. Although I never took part in the conversation, I shouted out because I was too surprised.

“Because, I really don’t want to fight with a class with a class leader like THAT…”

Ah, that reminds me. Nemoto was wearing the female uniform when he went to Class A. I never imagine something like that indirectly helped our suggestion being accepted so easily, which is quite a pleasant surprise.

“But we have some conditions. This war will not only be the duel between the class leaders. That’s right, let’s do it like this. Both classes select five different people, and have five different duels. The class that wins three fights out of five wins the war. How about that? If that’s the case, we will agree with your suggestion.”

“Hmmmm…”

At first she seems to be not too wary but actually she is really alert, we shouldn’t underestimate her.

“I see, you are trying to prevent us from sending Himeji?”

“Yes, even though I don’t think that will be a big problem. However, if class leader Kirishima is in very bad condition and Himeji is in top form, there might be some unpredictable accidents.”

This is really disrespecting Himeji.

However she wasn’t bluffing, because Kirishima is such a scary person.

“Don’t worry! I will represent our side in the fight.”

“No way, I will not totally believe in you.”

She later said, this is a war, not a competition. And she is right.

“Really? Then I shall agree with your condition!”

I can’t believe Yuuji said that.

Are you serious? Five different duels, do we stand a chance to win?

“Really? I am so happy~”

“However, we will decide the subjects. It is fine that you give us little bit of advantage right?”

I see, he was planning to negotiate like that. It is important for us to get the power to decide the subjects. The opponent will not be so kind to accept the one-on-one duel and to let us pick the subjects. Therefore to make them accept the condition, Yuuji chose to accept their condition of five different duels.

“Eh? Hmmm…”

Kinoshita is thinking carefully. This is a negotiation representing the class. The outcome of this negotiation can greatly affect the war, so she has to be really careful.

“Accepted!”

“WAH!”

I was shocked.

“I accept Yuuji’s suggestion.”

Suddenly there is a calm and powerful voice.

No one noticed when Kirishima arrived. I know that she is a quiet person, but I never know she could hide the presence from everyone like an experienced martial artist.

“What? Class leader, are you sure?”

“In return I would like to add another condition.”

“Condition?”

“Yeah.”

Kirishima nods. She carefully scans Himeji from top to bottom while she is hiding behind Yuuji, and said.

“The losing side shall accept any request from the winning side.”

T-This is the biggest crisis of Himeji’s virginity and outlook on life! What, what, what, what, should I do? If something like this happened… I would be so panicked that I couldn’t even sleep! I don’t even have money to get the digital camera!

“…(sound of taking photo)”

“Silent Pervert, it is too early to take pictures now! Are you planning to lose the fight on purpose?”

Why did this happen? This would definitely affect the morale of the class. Did she plan this from the beginning? Kirishima Shouko, she really lives up to the name of the head of student council, what a scary person she is.

“Then how about this: three of the subjects will be decided by you and we will decide the remaining two, what do you think?”

Although this still doesn’t fully give us the advantage of deciding the topics, Kinoshita Yuuko’s suggestion still gives us a slight advantage. Now, what should we do?

(Himeji, are you ok with that?)

(Eh? What are you talking about?)

(I mean if we lose, Himeji you will be…)

(Although I am not sure what is going on, but I think it’s not a problem.)

(Accepting that so easily… are you sure? If we lose, Himeji and Kirishima will----)

“The negotiation is complete.”

“Y-Yuuji! How could you decide this by yourself! Himeji hasn’t agreed with the condition!”

Even if you are the class leader, this is too selfish! This is related to Himeji’s happiness!

“Don’t worry. I will not give Himeji any trouble.”

He said it with confidence. He really thinks that we will win this for sure?

“When will the duels start?”

“Hmm, how about we begin at ten o’clock?”

“OK.”

Kirishima gives people a unique feeling. The way she speaks is sort of similar to Silent Pervert.

“OK. Since the negotiation is done, let’s head back to the classroom first!”

“That’s right. We need to report this to the class.”

After the meeting, we left Class A classroom.

The last fight is right around the corner.

<center>☆</center>

“Are both of you ready?”

The supervising teacher today is Takahashi-sensei, who is the homeroom teacher of Class A, and has helped us a lot in the recent wars. The specs she put on today have a beautiful design with intelligence, and her long legs in the tight skirts are quite charming as well.

“Yes.”

“No problem.”

The battle field is in Class A. Not only because it is wider here, the floor is far more superior than the lousy tatami, which could break anytime.

“The first duel officially starts now. Please stand forward.”

“I will go!”

Our opponent's class sends Hideyoshi’s sister, Kinoshita Yuuko.

And the person representing our class in this fight will be ------

“Allow me!”

Her brother, Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi definitely knows what his sister’s weakest subject is and how to disturb her concentration. The key to this duel will be how does Hideyoshi confuse his sister feeling-----

“By the way, Hideyoshi?”

“Yes?”

“Do you know Koyama from Class C?”

“What? Who is that?”

Eh? Why did I have a bad feeling about this?

“It is alright if you don’t know. Can you come here for a while?”

“Eh? Sister, why are you dragging me to the corridor?”

Hideyoshi’s face looks like those Class C students when they were being scolded by him while he was acting like his sister…

“Sister, it is now time for dueling------ Why are you grabbing my hand?”

“Did you do anything to Class C students? Why did I become the person who scolded Class C’s student pigs?”

“Hahaha. About that, I was doing what I think is the true nature of you, sister-----Ah, sister! No… Don’t turn my joint into that direction… ”

(*sounds of door opening*)

Kinoshita Yuuko opens the door and walks into the classroom.

“Hideyoshi said he had something urgent to attend to and went back. Do you want to send someone else to replace him?”

“N-No… We give up in this duel.”

Even Yuuji doesn’t dare to say anything to oppose Kinoshita Yuuko, who is smiling and wiping the blood on her hand with her handkerchief.

Takahashi-sensei types on the notebook computer and the big screen on the wall shows the result of this fight.

Class A Kinoshita Yuuko VS Class F Kinoshita Hideyoshi

Signs of life WIN VS DEAD

No one can say for sure that Hideyoshi is still alive.

“Next.”

“I will go. The subject we choose is Physics.”

The person representing Class A is Sato, and the person representing Class F this time will be---

“OK, Akihisa I am counting on you.”

“Eh!? Me!?”

What! I am representing my class in duel! There is no way back if I lose!

“Don’t worry, I have trust in you.”

Really? Yuuji you…

“Huh… In this case, it is about time for me to get serious.”

“Yeah, there is no need to hide anymore. Let everyone here understand your true power.”

“Hey, is Akihisa really strong?”

“Nope, I’ve never heard about it before.”

“Yuuji is kidding again right?”

Those Class F students, who are supposed to be my comrades, indeed said some very cruel comments.

Well nothing can be done about that. It is normal for them to think like that when they looked at my past performance. However, things are different today.

“You are Akihisa? Could it be…you are…”

My opponent Sato seems to have discovered something and starts trembling.

Her observation is pretty good.

“Ah, you have discovered that? You are right. I had never showed my power until now.”

To prepare for the fight, I fold up my sleeves and slightly shook my wrist to warm up.

“Then you are…”

“That’s right, It is just as you thought. Although I have been hiding it till now, actually I am ----”

I take a deep breath and announce to everyone in the class:

“----left handed!”

Class A Sato VS Yoshii Akihisa

Physics 389 VS 62

This is so strange. How on earth do I still lose after I showed my true power?

“You idiot! Does the examination result relate to which hand you used?”

“Mi-Minami! The reaction force is painful enough already, I beg you please stop beating me, ok?”

It seems that I can’t win against enemy who has 6 times more marks than me with just agility.

“OK, the real fight starts now.”

“Wait, Yuuji! You never trusted me from the beginning!”

“Trust? What is that? Is it edible?”

I really feel like giving him a punch with my golden left hand.

“Now, the third group please prepare now.”

“…(stand up)”

Silent Pervert stands up.

The power of choosing the subject starts to act in our favor now.

This is because 80% of Silent Pervert’s total marks for all subjects are scored from the health education subject. In this subject, not even Class A student can challenge him.

“Then it is my turn now!”

Class A sends out a girl with short, light coloured hair who looks like a boy. Who is she, why I don’t recognize her?

“Nice to meet you, I am Kudo Aiko who transferred here in the end of last semester in first year.”

She has a flat body which makes her look like a boy.

“What subject do you want to select?”

Takahashi sensei asks Silent Pervert.

“Health education.”

Silent Pervert selects his strongest subject.

“You are Tsuchiya right? You seem to be very confident in health education.”

Kudo starts to talk to Silent Pervert. What is the situation now? She is a transferred student, so she doesn’t know the true power of Silent Pervert? But she seems to be really relaxed.

“However I am also very good with this subject… unlike you, I am stronger in practical matters!”

W-What kind of announcement is that? For some reason, my heart is bouncing really hard!

“Hey you there, you're Akihisa right? You look like you don’t know how to study. Let me teach you Health Education when we have time, ok? Don’t worry, I will teach you with practical exercises.”

How does she know my heart is beating like mad now? And she tells everyone she wants to teach me health education!

“Ha, just what I …”

“Aki will never have that chance, so there is no need to learn health education!”

“That’s right! He never needs to learn it!”

“Shimada and Himeji, please take a look at Akihisa. He looks really sad!”

I won’t be so unlucky right? Even a person like me will get the chance to use my knowledge from Health Education!

“Both sides please prepare to summon.”

“O---K. Syoukanju Summoning!”

“Syoukanju Summoning!”

Syoukanjus that look very similar to their owners appear with their weapons on hand. Silent Pervert’s syoukanju is the same as the one he had when fighting with Class B. Its weapon consists of two kodachi[http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Baka_to_Tesuto_to_Syokanju:Volume1_Translator%27s_Notes#Question_9]. On the other hand, Kudo’s syoukanju…

“What? Why is her Tomahawk so huge?”

Her syoukanju is holding a very big Tomahawk which looks really powerful. It also wears a wristband on its hand which means it can use special ability. Oh my god! She is really strong!

“Let’s decide who is stronger, the one who is good in the theory or the one who is good in the actual practice.”

Kudo has a tender and beautiful smile. After that the wristband on her syoukanju begins to shine and she starts her attack.

Her syoukanju’s huge Tomahawk has thunder surrounding it and rushes towards Silent Pervert with impossible speed.

“Bye bye, Silent Pervert!”

Then, the strong hands of her syoukanju swing the Tomahawk. This is an attack that can’t be dodged!

“Silent Pervert!”

Just when the tomahawk is going to cut his syoukanju into two---

“Accelerate.”

The wristband on Silent Pervert’s syoukanju’s hand starts to shine, and its light totally covers its owner.

“Huh?”

The opponent looks like she can’t understand what is going on. Not only her, even people like me have no idea of what had just happened. How can Silent Pervert’s syoukanju escape from the opponent’s attack range?

“Accelerate ends.”

Silent Pervert quietly said.

[[Image:BTS vol 01 259.jpg|thumb]]
All of a sudden, blood busts from every part of Kudo’s syoukanju as it falls to the ground.

Class A Kudo Aiko VS Class F Tsuchiya Kouta

Health Education 446marks VS 572 marks

In-incredible! His score might be higher than the sum of all my subject scores!

“In the war against Class B, he wasn’t in his top form.”

Yuuji starts to explain to me, who is in total shock at the moment. I never knew that Silent Pervert can be so scary when he is concentrated!

“Im-Impossible…How could I…”

Kudo is kneeling on the ground, she looks like she is really shocked as well.

“It is 2 VS 1 now, who’s next?”

Takahashi-sensei still continues the competition with her emotionless face. It looks like she doesn’t really care even if the students from her class lose.

“Ah, y-yes, it is my turn now.”

We definitely send out Himeji, who is the only person in Class F that can fight with Class A students directly.

“Then I will be your opponent!”

The person who walks out from Class A is---- Kubo Toshimitsu!

“You finally appear, vice president of student council.”

Yes, his name is Kubo Toshimitsu!

His ability is just below Himeji, ranked third in the second year. He is the vice president of second year student council because Himeji didn’t perform well in the class dividing test.

“This is the fight that I worry the most.”

Yuuji has his point for worrying.

Kubo’s ability is almost as good as Himeji. The difference between their total scores is less than twenty. Now that Himeji has been fighting for the last few days, we can’t really say for sure she can win this….

“What is the subject?”

Takahashi-sensei asked them.

By the way, whose side has the right to choose the subject now? Hideyoshi’s fight is a real mess and I have no idea now.

“I choose the sum of all subjects.”

Just when I am thinking deeply, Kubo simply answer the teacher’s question.

“Hey wait a second! Don’t simply decide----”

“It is fine with me.”

“Himeji?”

Himeji stops me from protesting. Are you sure you will be fine?

“Then……”

Same as the last few fights, Takahashi-sensei continues to maneuver on the computer.

Both side summon their syoukanjus, the duel is decided within seconds.

Class A Kubo Toshimitsu VS Class F Himeji Mizuki

Sum of all subjects 3997 marks VS 4409 marks

“Really?”

“When did she improve so much?”

“With scores like this, she can even challenge Kirishima Shouko!”

Voices of surprise came from everywhere.

The difference is more than four hundred? Although I knew that Himeji is really strong, this is not a score that a normal human can get!

“Damn! Himeji, how did you get so strong……”

Kubo is regretting now, and questioning Himeji. Their ability was about the same until recently. No one expects the difference to be so huge, that’s why he is concerned about it.

“I-I like everyone in the class, and Class F is the class with classmates who are willing to sacrifice for the others without asking for anything.”

“You like Class F?”

“Yes. That’s why I can continue working hard.”

Himeji’s words are so comforting.

Really? Himeji, you actually like Class F, a class formed by stupid male students. However I am in this class, which makes me feel really warm deep inside my heart.

“The score now is 2 VS 2.”

Takahashi sensei had slight changes in her look, which is rather strange. Is it because Himeji’s incredible growth or the fact that Class F can actually fight against Class A?

“The last duel, both sides please prepare.”

“OK.”

The person walks out from Class A is the strongest enemy---- Kirishima Shouko.

The person we sent from our class is definitely---

“It is my turn now.”

The one and only, Sakamoto Yuuji.

“The subject is?”

Maybe it’s because they think there is no way Kirishima Shouko will lose, there isn’t any noise coming from Class A. They just quietly look at both of them.

“I would like to choose Japanese history, the scope will be limited to primary school level and the maximum score is one hundred.”

The noise suddenly comes from everywhere.

“There is a limit to maximum score?”

“Primary school level? Doesn’t that mean full marks?”

“This fight will be determined by how focused they are…”

This will also give us a chance to win.

Class A also realizes that, so they start making some noise now.

“Understood. I will need to prepare some questions. Please wait here for a while.”

Takahashi-sensei closes the lid of her laptop and walks out of the classroom.

Takahashi-sensei is enthusiastic in education, maybe she have collected some primary school level question sets?

I watch the teacher left the scene and return to Yuuji immediately.

“Yuuji, I am counting on you.”

I firmly hold Yuuji’s hand. We did all we could do. It all depends on the result of Yuuji’s duel now.

“Yeah, leave it to me!”

He firmly holds my hand as well.

“…(puts out his hand)”

Silent Pervert walks towards us and shows Yuuji a victory hand pose.

“Your power helped me a lot, thank you very much.”

“…(ha)”

Silent Pervert’s mouth slightly rises, and stands back to where he was just now.

“Sakamoto, thanks for telling me all those stories.”

“Ah, you mean stories about Akihisa? Don’t worry about it, and do your best.”

Huh? My stories? What did Yuuji say?

“Yes I will.”

Himeji gives him an energetic answer. Yuuji also has a happy smile on his face. It is a caring and gentle face.

“Now the final duel is Japanese history. Participants Kirishima and Sakamoto, please come to the video classroom.”

Takahashi-sensei returns to the classroom and gives order to both class leaders.

“OK.”

Kirishima gives a simple answer and leaves the classroom.

“Well, I need to go now.”

“Sakamoto, take care.”

“Yeah.”

Yuuji is sent off by Himeji and heads towards the final battlefield.

The final fight finally starts. It doesn’t matter if we are going to cry or laugh, the test summoning war is going to end.

“Everyone, please look at the screen here.”

Takahashi-sensei controls the machine, and the big monitor diplays images in the video classroom.

Kirishima takes her seat first, and then Yuuji also walks into the classroom and sits down.

“Now we are going to distribute the paper. The test is fifty minutes, maximum score is one hundred.”

The Japanese history teacher on the screen is placing the test papers on their tables with the back of the papers facing up.

“Any actions that are considered as cheating will result in zero mark, understand?”

“Yes.”

“I know that!”

“Then we start now!”

Both of them turn their paper over.

“Yoshii, it finally begins!”

“Yeah, finally.”

“If that question doesn’t appear, Sakamoto will…”

“His concentration and focus are worse than the opponent. If the duel goes into extra time, he might lose. However…”

“Yes, if it appears…”

“Yeah…”

If it appears, this will be our victory.

Everyone is swallowing their saliva, and anxiously staring at the monitor, reading the questions that appear on it.

Will it come out? Will it come out?

“Please fill in the right year in ( )”

Year ( ) Heijo-kyo established as capital

Year ( ) Heian-kyo established as capital

It really is primary school level questions. Maybe even I could answer them as well.

Will that question come out?

Year ( ) Kamakura Bakufu established

Year ( ) Taika Reform

“Ah!”

It appears…..

“Y-Yoshii!”

“Yeah!”

“This mean, it is our…”

“Yeah! Our Japanese-style tables will be…”

“Changed into the high-class system table!”

Everyone in Class F shouts at the same time.

“This is the biggest ever victory for us, lousy Class F!”

“OHHHHHH!”

Our cheer sounds like it shakes the whole classroom.

'''“Japanese History Duel, Limited Scope Test, Maximum Score: One Hundred”'''

'''Class A Kirishima Shouko 97 marks'''

'''VS'''

'''Class F Sakamoto Yuuji 53 marks'''

Japanese style tables in Class F become paper boxes.

“B-E-N-Z-E-N”

'''Teacher's Comment: '''

Come to my office later, together with Tsuchiya.

“Good job everyone, thanks for your effort in taking those tests,”

Yuuji said, standing on the podium and putting his hand on the table.

We had tests for the whole morning. The tests finished not long ago. Now we are going to have lunch. To replenish the score we lost in all subjects, the amount of tests we took was scary.

“We will start the Test Summoning War with Class B this afternoon, are you ready to kill?”

“Oh----”

Morale was still high, and it was the our class's only weapon.

“The goal of this war is to hold the enemy in their classroom. Therefore we can’t afford to lose the battle at this corridor.”

“Oh----”

“Himeji Mizuki will be the commander there. Guys, be prepared and ready to die.”

“I…I will try my best.”

Himeji shyly walked out of the crowd, maybe she didn’t want to shout like the boys did.

“OH-----”

The morale of the frontline troops went over the limit since they were able to fight with a beautiful girl.

In conclusion, the key to this war is the battle at the corridor. If we lose there, we are finished. Therefore from the fifty students in Class F, we sent out forty of them into that battle. This troop will be led by Himeji, who is the strongest student in our class, second strongest in the whole school, so we should be able to win that battle without any hassle.

When the bell that announced the end of the lunch break rang, the war with Class B finally began.

“OK, everyone let’s go! The target is the systematic tables!”

“Yes Sir!”

To successfully hold the enemy in their classroom, we must take control of the momentum.

We rushed to the corridor outside Class B at full speed.

Since a lot of the students in Class B were good in non-science related subjects, and because the Mathematics teacher Hasegawa-sensei has a larger summon area, we picked Mathematics as our main subject for battle; in other words, if we wanted to finish the battle fast, Hasegawa-sensei would be very useful.

There was English essay teacher Yamada-sensei and physics teacher Kimura-sensei there on our side as well. This time we needed to increase the number of teachers to supervise the battle, and finish the enemies off as fast as possible!

“I can see Class B students!”

“They brought Takahashi-sensei!”

Class B students walked slowly in front of us, but there were only ten of them, they should be the vanguard and just wanted to test our ability.

“Don’t let them escape alive!”

Along with this threatening shout, the war against Class B has officially started.

Class B Nanoka Chounan VS Class F Kondo Yoshimune

Sum of All Subjects 1943 marks VS 764 marks

What? He is too strong! It is like a totally different level!

Class B Kaneda Ichiyuko VS Class F Muto Keita

Sum of All Subjects 159 marks VS 69 marks

Class B Satoi Mayuko VS Class F Kimishima Hiroshi

Sum of All Subjects 152 marks VS 77 marks

The difference between the fighting abilities was overwhelming, our frontline troops kept on losing. If we didn’t send in reinforcements before their scores reduced to zero, our numbers would be greatly decreased.

Just as I was trying to see whether we had any reinforcements or whether the route is being cut off by our enemies----

“I-I am late…s-sorry…”

Himeji hardly caught her breath and arrived at the scene, I thought she should be running all the way to the front line.

“Himeji Mizuki is here!”

One of the students in Class B shouted. It seemed that Class B already knew Himeji was not in Class A, and made appropriate investigation, I guess?

All the students in Class B were shocked when they heard that. It was very easy to see that they were scared of Himeji.

“Himeji, although you just arrived, can you please…”

“Y-Yes. I will go now.”

Himeji immediately dashed into the middle of the battlefield. Looking at her gave you the feeling of calmness, I really feel like taking a photo now and keeping it as a souvenir.

“Hasegawa-sensei, I am Iwashita Ritsuko from Class B; I would like to challenge to Mathematics: Himeji Mizuki from Class F!”

“Ah, Hasegawa-sensei, I am Himeji Mizuki, nice to meet you.”

Himeji was immediately targeted by the enemy, maybe she was the target that the enemies wanted to get rid of as soon as possible?”

“Ritsuko, I will help as well!”

Another girl from Class B stepped forward and summoned at the same time. Only two people from the ten students from Class B present here, it seemed that they were really scared of Himeji.

“Syokanju summoning!”

The magic circle appeared after the summoning. and the syokanju that we were all familiar with stood in front of us.

The enemies’ syokanjus used their swords and spears and pointed them towards Himeji’s syokanju, but her syokanju seemed to be very calm and just held the great sword that we have seen before.

It was now a face off between the three syokanjus with the faces of their respective owners, however---

“Eh? Himeji’s syokanju has an accessory.”

“Ah, yes. Because I am pretty good in Mathematics……”

“You can wear an accessory in the subject you are good at?”

The two-head tall Himeji’s syokanju had a beautiful looking bracelet on it's left wrist beside the great sword on her hand.

“T-That’s?”

“She is not an enemy we can handle!”

The enemies started panicking when they saw the bracelet.

Ah, this reminds me, wearing the bracelet means---

“Erm, I am going to attack.”

Himeji tightly held her hand; following her action, her Syokanju dashed towards the enemy from its left hand side.

“Wait a minute!”

“Ritsuko! Dodge the attack first!”

Both of their syokanjus jumped to the side with dramatic actions. Suddenly, the bracelet on Himeji’s syokanju hand emitted a bright light.

Beep!

“Ahhh!”

“Ritsu...Ritsuko!”

The instant the left arm emitted the light, one of the enemies’ syokanju that couldn’t escape in time was covered in flame.

Class F Himeji Mizuki VS Class B Iwashita Ritsuko & Kikuiri Mayumi

Mathematics 412 marks VS 189 marks & 151 marks

So wearing the bracelet means that the syokanju is capable of using a special ability? Although I have forgotten what is the requirement score for that, I did remember somewhere in the rules stated that students who score above a certain score are able to equip a bracelet on their syokanjus, which allow them to use a special ability. This rule has nothing to do with me so I have totally forgotten about it.

“So-sorry. I can’t be that gentle in the battlefield!”

Himeji’s Syokanju stuck to the enemy which had lost control due to dodging the previous attack, and cut the enemy and its weapon into half, killed it instantly and won the fight.

“Iwashita and Kikuiri have died in battle!”

“What! How’s that possible?”

“Himeji Mizuki is scarier than she was in the rumours!”

The remaining eight students from Class B looked extremely shocked; it was not surprising for them to look like that.

By the way, Himeji, you are too strong.

“E-Everyone, please do your best!”

Himeji said something that didn’t sound like a command from a commander, however it was extremely effective.

“I am going to unleash my power!”

“Himeji is the best!”

The number of Himeji believers had dramatically increased.

“Himeji, you can have a rest now!”

“Ah, yes.”

The enemies’ morale had significantly dropped, it was better to let Himeji to rest now. A special ability could deal a huge amount of damage but it would cost a lot of marks. Even if there was no Himeji in the fight, defeating the enemy vanguard was just a matter of time now.

“Swap with the main troop and retreat at the same time, don’t die in battle!”

And that’s the enemy’s command. Anyway we have achieved our target successfully. Let the enemy step back slowly, and restrict their actions in the Class B classroom, then the battle for today should be close to the end. It was thanks to Himeji’s extraordinary fighting ability that the plan flowed so smoothly, thank you very much!

“Akihisa, I will head back to the classroom now.”

“Huh? Why?”

Hideyoshi walked towards me when I was looking over the overall situation of the battle.

Go back? Did something happen to the main troop?

“The class leader for Class B is…”

“The guy named Nemoto.”

“You said Nemoto, could it be Nemoto Kyoji?”

“That’s right.”

The guy called Nemoto Kyoji had a very bad reputation. According to the rumours, he was a pro in doing dirty tricks, and would take whatever actions needed to achieve his goal. There were rumours about "Poison the opposing team in a ball game," "Bring weapons when fighting with others" and so on. I didn’t really believe he could be that bad, but being careful wouldn’t harm us at all.

“I see, then we should head back as soon as possible!”

“Although I don’t think Yuuji will fall for his trap, we better head back just to make sure everything is ok.”

After we informed Himeji about this, Hideyoshi and I brought a few men back to the classroom.

<center>☆</center>

“Wa, this is terrible!”

“I never would have imagined that they would actually do all this.”

“This is so mean.”

When we got back to the classroom, we could see there were holes all over the Japanese tables, pencils and erasers were all broken or split into two.

“This is bad, now we can’t replenish our score smoothly.”

“Yeah, this might be a minor problem, but it certainly will affect our score replenishment.”

By the way, I think Nemoto is a petty coward.

“Don’t worry about it too much. Although it takes some time to repair, it won’t affect our plan too much.”

“Well Yuuji, we will follow what you say.”

Something didn’t seem right.

“How did the classroom get this bad, and Yuuji, how did you not know anything about it?”

There were no problems in the classroom before the lunch break, it must have happened sometime between the start of the battle and now. However, Yuuji should have been in the classroom at that time and been able to stop them, right?

“They wanted to sign a treaty with me and I went to negotiate with them, so the classroom was empty at that time.”

“What treaty?”

“Well, if both of us can’t win the war before 4 p.m., we will maintain the situation of the war as it is and start the war again from 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. Both sides cannot do anything that is related to the Test Summoning War.”

“I see, and then you agreed?”

“That’s right.”

“But if it comes to the stage where stamina determines the result, we should have the advantage right?”

“That’s true for all of us, except Himeji.”

Ah, I see.

“After forcing them to stay in the classroom, the war ends for today, the true battle starts tomorrow.”

“That’s right. It seems we can’t take them down today.”

“At that time, Himeji’s fighting ability is more important than the fighting ability of the whole class.”

That meant the battle would focus in certain areas? Then it should be the same as the battle against Class D and let Himeji finish off the class leader, I guess?

“That’s why you accept their suggestion, and let Himeji fight in perfect condition?”

“Yes. This treaty is good for me.”

Is it? Good then, if you say so.

However, I keep feeling a little bit strange about this. They have destroyed our tables, and then signed a treaty that was good for us at the same time. I don’t think Nemoto Kyoji is such a naïve person.

“Akihisa, we should head to the frontline now, maybe they have used some dirty tricks again.”

Hideyoshi ran out of the classroom after he said that.

“Yeah. Yuuji, we will leave this to you.”

“Oh, I will go to prepare new pencils and erasers.”

Yuuji raised his hand and said goodbye, I turned away from him and chased Hideyoshi from behind.

I managed to catch up with Hideyoshi quickly without running at my full speed.

“I keep thinking we haven’t seen the last of them!”

“Yeah. I don’t think they will stop here, we better be careful.”

What would be the next dirty trick they use? Damn, they have stronger fighting ability than us, why don’t they fight with us face to face?

We were going to reach the battlefield.

“Remember to be careful!”

“You too, Hideyoshi!”

After reminding each other, we went back to our troop.

“Yoshii! You are finally back!”

The person who welcomed me back was Sugawa. Huh? Wasn’t Shimada supposed to control the troop?

“Sorry to keep you waiting! What is the situation now?”

“The situation is very bad for us.”

“Huh? Why?”

The enemy’s main troop never appeared, and our fighting ability is better than them, why are we in the bad situation now?

“Shimada was captured and held as a hostage.”

“What?”

Now they are using a hostage? Do you really believe you can win with using dirty tricks?

“Therefore the enemy only has two people left, but we can’t attack them at all. What should we do?”

Now, my troop is confronted with the enemy because of this incident.

“Hmmm, let me see the situation before I make the decision.”

“Then we should head there now, the enemy is blocking us in the corridor there”

Sugawa led the way, and I followed him at the back.

After walking through the human wall formed by my troop, it was clear that the situation in front of me was exactly the same as Sugawa said. Shimada and her Syokanju were being held as hostages by two Class B students. And they had a tuition teacher beside them as well.

“Shimada!”

“Yoshii, Yoshii!”

Why does this sound like a soap drama?

“Hold on there! If you get any closer, I will give her Syokanju the final hit, and send her to the tuition room!”

One of the enemies that captured Shimada stood out and restricted my action.

Not only would they let the precious female student in our class die, they also purposely held her as hostage to threaten us, and lower our morale at the same time. This strategy was really smart.

If we blindly dashed forward before we managed to defeat them, they would defeat Shimada and use the fact that she was sent to tuition room to make us feel guilty.

…This is nothing at all.

“Everyone, prepare to attack!”

“Leader, are you sure about this?”

There is no other way! We always have someone who sacrifices for the war! This is not revenge for being tortured every day, it is just a decision that a leader needs to make!

Even the enemy was calling for a stop, how uncool.

“Do you know why she was caught by us?”

“It’s because she is an idiot.”

“I am going to kill you!”

Huh? What? Why does Shimada sound stronger than me while being held as a hostage?

“This girl, she believed in the false information about you being injured, and left the troop alone to the nursing room to look for you.”

What did you say?

“Shimada…”

“W-What!”

Am I thinking too much? It seems like Shimada’s face is pretty red.

“How could you assassinate me when I am injured, are you a devil?”

“That was not the reason I went!”

This is so scary, now I can’t have a nap in the nursing room in peace.

“Is there anything wrong with visiting you and seeing how your wound is? I was worried about you!”

Huh?

“Shimada, is this true?”

“Y-Yes! Can’t I do that?”

Shimada looked a little bit angry and turned her head aside.

Really? She was worrying about me! That Shimada…

“Haha, now you understand. Listen to me and stop doing anything.”

“Everyone, attack!”

“Why?”

Why? Do you really need to ask that?

“She is not the real Shimada! She must be faked by one of the enemy! You guys picked the wrong person to fake! That Shimada will never be so gentle! If she is the real Shimada, she will definitely be very happy to send me to hell!”

“Oi, wait a minute! This person is the real Shimada!”

Class B students, look at how uncool you are.

“Shut up! After we have seen through your dirty strategy, you still want to continue using it? How ugly! ”

“I am telling you that she is the real one!”

Class B Suzumoto Jiro VS Class F Tanaka Akira

English Writing 33 marks VS 65 marks

Class B Yoshida Takuoh VS Class F Sugawa Ryou

English Writing 18 marks VS 59 marks

Defeat both of them first! Give their Syokanjus a fatal hit!

“Ah…”

“Help me-----”

Both of them were taken away by the tuition teacher instantly, this really felt good.

Then, what’s left is only----

“Everyone be careful! The enemy might cancel the camouflage anytime and attack us!”

This was the impostor who was trying to imitate Shimada!

“Yoshii, you are so mean! I was really worried about you…”

“Stop your clumsy act, you second rated actor!”

The real Shimada would never say something like that!

“It is true! I was really worrying about you!”

“Surround her. Even if she is from Class B, she can’t fight so many of us at the same time.”

“It is true! I heard ‘Yoshii saw Mizuki’s underwear and can’t stop his nosebleed,’ and got really worried!”

“Stop surrounding her! She is the real Shimada!”

She was the only person who would fall for this sort of idiot lie.

“Shimada, are you alright?”

I lent my hand to Shimada, who was sitting on the ground. Damn you Class B, how dare you use such a dirty trick!

“It's good that you are fine, I was worried about you!”

“…”

“Go have a rest in the classroom, you must be very tired right?”

“…”

“By the way, these guys really are cowards; do they have pride for being human?”

There was no reaction from Shimada.

“Ah----Shimada, actually----”

“What!”

She finally turned her head and looked at me.

I tried my best to give a perfect smile filled with apologies to Shimada, who was staring at me right now.

“I know you are the real Shimada.”

She went berserk.

<center>☆</center>

“Where am I?”

When I regained consciousness, I saw the ceiling that was full of dirt. This is…Ah, our classroom.

“Ah, you finally woke up?”

The cute voice came from my side; could it be the healing voice of Himeji?

“I was worried about you. Yoshii, your wound looked like you were beaten by someone and then pushed down some stairs.”

Correct answer.

“Even if it is the Test Summoning ‘War,’ there is no need to injure someone like this right?”

No, instead of calling it a "war," you should call it a one sided slaughter.

“It's nothing important. How is the Test Summoning War going?”

I tried to sit up on the tatami and felt pain all over my body.

“According to the treaty, it is now armistice, the war will continue tomorrow.”

“How is the situation?”

“We sort of attacked the front of their classroom as planned. However our losses were greater than what we imagined.”

Yuuji read the damage report on the paper one by one. Although it was sort of within our expectation, this was still a huge loss. It seemed that we didn’t have a total win in the battle at corridor, but that’s the result of putting most of our men in, not a good result for our overall strategy.

“Although some accidents happened, it seems that things went smoothly until now?”

“Yeah, you could say that!”

However, the opponent was that coward Nemoto Kyoji, he must have had some hidden plan.

“… (Knocking on the door)”

“Oh, Silent Pervert! Is there anything you want to report?”

Before I realized it, Silent Pervert was beside me.

Today, Silent Pervert was a member of the intelligence team, so he did not take part in the battle. His job was to stay alert and to record what was going on in the enemy troop.

“Huh? Something strange is going on in Class C?”

“…(Nodded)”

According to Silent Pervert’s information, Class C was preparing for the Test Summoning War. If they are not planning to challenge Class A, then there is only one reason----

“They want to take on the easy target? They are such cowardly bastards.”

As Yuuji just said, they were planning to attack the winner of this war, because it was easier to take on the opponents who were tired and exhausted.

“Yuuji, what do you plan to do?”

“Hmmm, what should I do?”

Yuuji raised his head and looked at the clock. It was four-thirty now, not too late.

“We better sign a treaty with Class C as well. If we threaten them that we are going to use Class D to attack them, I believe they will give up the idea of attacking us.”

“Also, they don’t believe that we will win right?”

It shouldn’t be too hard to sign a treaty with Class C.

“OK, let’s go now!”

“Yeah.”

I injected my power into the aching body and stood up. My body seemed to be fine.

“As a safety switch, Hideyoshi, you stay in the classroom.”

“Huh? Why? Is it ok for me not to go with you guys?”

“If your face is seen, my hidden strategy that I leave for emergency situation will not work.”

“I don’t quite understand what you are talking about. If you say so, I will just do as you say!”

Hideyoshi stepped down obediently. But, what is this emergency situation he is talking about?

“Then let’s go! It will be a little dangerous since we are short on numbers.”

Without Hideyoshi; Yuuji, Himeji, Silent Pervert, and I headed towards Class C.

“It took me a long time to clean Yoshii’s blood that spilt on my body; I must make him pay later.”

“Was it Yoshii’s fault?”

While we were in the corridor, we saw Shimada, who was using her handkerchief to wipe her hand, and Sugawa, who had his bag on his back.

“Ah, Shimada and Sugawa, nice timing, let’s go to Class C together.”

Although I didn’t think it would happen, just in case we get attacked by Class C students like I was, it would be dangerous to be going with only a few of us. Also we needed extra people to guard Himeji as well. I kept on thinking and called on my two best friends in front of me at the same time.

Of course, as my best friends, they won’t reject my invitation.

“Hmm, OK!”

“O, no problem for me”

Now I have backup I can trust.

“Hurry up, otherwise Class C class leader will be going home.”

“Yeah, let’s go!”

After Shimada and Sugawa joined the team, the six of us continued to head towards Class C.

“I am the class leader of Class F Sakamoto Yuuji, who is the class leader here?”

There were still a lot of students remaining in Class C. It was just as Silent Pervert reported; they were preparing for a Test Summoning War and waiting to pick the easier target.

“I am. What do you want?”

The girl appeared in front of us had very short hair, I remembered she was the star of the volleyball club, Koyama.

“I am here to negotiate with you as the class leader of Class F, are you free now?”

“Negotiate? Ha…”

Although I don’t like to badmouth girls, Koyama is so far away from being gentle and steady. After she heard what Yuuji said, for some reason, she showed an evil smile on her face.

“Yeah, I am here to sign a treaty of mutual non-aggression.”

“A treaty of mutual non-aggression, right? What do you think, Nemoto?”

Koyama turned her head, and talked to the group of students in the corner.

Huh? Nemoto?

“Of course not, because there is no need for that right?”

“What? Nemoto! Why is Class B here?”

The person who brought a group of people and walked towards us, was our current enemy--- Class B's class leader Nemoto Kyoji. He had short hair and an unshaven beard around his mouth, plus the evil looking eye. He looked totally different from Yuuji who had a pair of sharp eyes.

“Class F, aren’t you mean? How dare you break our promise? I thought we agreed that we’d stop anything related to the Test Summoning War?”

“What did you say…”

“You were the one who broke the treaty first right? I am just doing what you had done!”

After he said that, the group of people at his back started moving. The person who hid behind him was Hasegawa-sensei, who was short and was staying on the battle field just now.

“Hasegawa-sensei! Yoshino from Class B wants to challenge----”

“Not so fast! Sugawa from Class F will accept the challenge! Syokanju Summoning!”

Just when Yoshino from Class B planned to surprise attack Yuuji, Sugawa jumped out and accepted the challenge for Yuuji. Good job, Sugawa!

“We didn't violate the treaty! This is just between Class C and Class F---”

“It is no use, Akihisa! Nemoto will definitely use the sentence ‘anything related to Test Summoning War’ as an excuse!”

“That’s right, and that’s what I will do~”

“Nonsense!”

“Nonsense is also a very useful theory!”

“Akihisa, run!”

“Damn!”

Leaving Sugawa who was fighting at the back, the rest of us left Class C as fast as we could.

Class B Yoshino Takayuki VS Class F Sugawa Ryou

Mathematics 161 marks VS 41 marks

“Don’t let them get away! Defeat Sakamoto!”

Nemoto’s voice and the footsteps sound came from our back.

Honestly, the current situation was very dangerous. Not only that we could not fight with Class B students face to face, our only hope Himeji already used up a lot of Mathematics marks. Nemoto must have known that Himeji had used up a lot of Mathematics marks, so he called Hasegawa-sensei here. It was a dirty trick, but it was an effective one.

“Ha, Hu…”

“Himeji, are you alright?”

We were running on the corridor at full speed, but Himeji’s steps were slowing down. She was not good at sports. For a physically weak student like her, it must have been very hard to run like this.

“Err… You guys c-can go on ahead…”

Himeji was trying to catch her breath while saying that. We would not be able to escape the enemies attack with her like this, but we couldn’t lose her here as well. If we lost Himeji’s fighting ability, who knew what would happen to the war tomorrow. Also I couldn’t just leave a girl here and run for my life!

Is there nothing we can do now?

“Yuuji!”

“What, Akihisa!”

“Leave this to me! Yuuji, you retreat with Himeji now!”

I stood and looked back; Himeji and Yuuji ran past me.

I never imagined I would have a chance to say some cool stuff like this, did I look cool enough?

“Y-Yoshii, don’t, worry about me.”

“I got it, I will leave it to you.”

Yuuji stopped Himeji’s word, and agreed with my suggestion. This was the Yuuji I know, never letting his feelings affect his judgement, and calmly made decisions according to the situation.

“…(Stops running)”

“Wait, Silent Pervert, you need to escape as well. I think the key for tomorrow’s battle is you.”

Silent Pervert stopped with me at the same time. I felt grateful for that, but I thought he had a more important mission to accomplish; we could not lose him at situation like this!

“Then it should be ok for me to stay right? Leader?”

Shimada stopped running, and stood beside me.

“Can I rely on you?”

“Of course you can, leave everything to me!”

“…(Good luck)”

Silent pPervert gave us a big thumbs up, and then ran away from the scene immediately.

“…What should we do now? Leader?”

“Ah, I have an idea.”

“Huh? Really?”

Shimada looked at me with a shocked face.

Wa--- it seemed that she never trusts me, what an impolite vice leader.

“I don’t want to end up in the tuition room either, leave this to me!”

“Found them! Yoshii and Shimada from Class F!”

“Kill them!”

The enemies approached us quickly. Hasegawa-sensei was there as well.

“Class B students! Stop there!”

To decrease their morale, I purposely used strong language to stop them.

“You are pretty brave. Do you think you can stop us with only two of you?”

“No, before we fight I have something to say to Hasegawa-sensei.”

If we showed the enemies weakness, we would lose control of the situation, so I continued speaking strongly.

(Yoshii, what are you thinking? Are you going to complain to Hasegawa-sensei and say they are disobeying the treaty?)

(Well leave it to me, I have an idea.)

I whispered softly with Shimada who was starting to worry now. Ah, she was worrying too much.

“What is it, Yoshii?”

Hasegawa-sensei walked to the front. She was still trying to catch her breath, maybe she needed more exercise?

“Do you know that Class B disobeyed the treaty?”

If she was a teacher, she wouldn’t stand beside the students who were not obeying the rule. That’s definitely true for someone who was responsible for being a judge.

(That cunning Nemoto must have thought of a good excuse.)

“From the fact that I have heard, the one who broke the treaty was Class F, wasn’t it? If you are complaining that you get attacked because of this, before saying anything about the treaty, you should check your personality first shouldn’t you?”

I thought the teacher’s comment was a little bit rude. Although, I believed the facts were twisted by Nemoto when he was explaining these facts to Hasegawa-sensei, just as Shimada said.

(It is exactly the same as I imagined until now, what are you planning to do?)

“…”

(I am looking forward to your strategy.)

Shimada winked.

Confronted by her expectation, I made the following reply.

“We are dead…”

“This guy's an idiot!”

That is so rude.

<center>☆</center>

“Sakamoto! Yoshii… Is he… Is he going to be all right?”

“Of course! I can’t guarantee about others, but he will definitely have no problem.”

“But…”

“He is really not good in studying. However, even if you have a bad result, it is not everything right?”

“Wh-What does that mean?”

“That idiot… He is not a normal ‘Kansatsu Shobunsha’.”

<center>☆</center>

“Syokanju Summoning!”

Four enemies summoned their Syokanjus at the same time.

We kept on running away, but this corridor was full of dead ends. It was just a matter of time before we arrived in the battle area.

“Yoshii, what should we do?”

“You're asking me? Then who should I ask?!”

“Anything is fine, just think of something!”

Shimada and I were running side by side and shouting to each other at the same time.

“OK, I got it! Shimada, you try to take them on at the same time!”

“OK OK, then?”

“My chance of escaping will be higher.”

“I will definitely finish you off one day!”

Now we were at the end of the corridor. There was only a wall with a window in front of us.

“Shimada, summon your Syokanju now.”

“Summon it?”

“Then use it to receive damage instead of me.”

“Go die!”

“Wa! Why did you suddenly go berserk? Are you a berserker?”

I kept running and dodged the punches that Shimada threw at me at the same time.

Damn. Now we were at a dead end.

I rested my back on the wall and looked forward, and saw the enemies getting closer and closer.

“You guys must be very tired by running around!”

“By the way, do we have to chase them?”

“There is nothing we can do. While we were being idiots playing with them, Sakamoto’s group escaped.”

“Then let’s finish them and go back!”

When they realized we had nowhere to run, the four of them looked like they had used up all their energy and started chatting in front of us.

Since there is no reason to chase us, why not just let us go!

“Oi, did you chat enough?!”

Shimada was angry and scolded them when she saw that they were being so impolite. Oh, at situation like this, she was still very aggressive.

“Because…Ah!”

“What?”

“You are the lousiest class.”

How dare he say something like this! I must say something in return!

“We are not the lousiest class! It's just the students that are lousy!”

“Yoshii, shut up!”

Huh? I was trying to fight back, why was she so angry?

“Don’t look down on us because we are Class F!”

“Oh really? What can the Class F level do?”

“Then feel it yourself! Syokanju Summoning!”

Shimada shouted out and the Chibi Shimada that I had seen a lot of times appeared.

“That is what I’ll do! I will let you know the difference in our ability!”

The guy from Class B who was quarreling with Shimada also summoned his syokanju. It held its knife and dashed towards us. Although the enemy couldn’t do any complicated moves, it had enough power.

“You!”

Shimada also let her syokanju rush forward.

Then the enemy’s strong attack caused Shimada’s syokanju to---

Class B Kudo Shinji VS Class F Shimada Minami

Mathematics 159marks VS 171 marks

“You, are you really from Class F?”

No, they had the same ability! What’s going on?

“He he, it is your fault for choosing mathematics. For this subject, it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand Kanji[http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Baka_to_Tesuto_to_Syokanju:Volume1_Translator%27s_Notes#Question_6]!”

OH, Shimada you are so cool!

“By the way, Shimada what's your score for Ancient Literature?”

“Just a single digit!”

She is so sure! It is so cool as well!

“Kudo, do you need help? You don’t want to be sent to the tuition room like this right?”

“Damn, please help me!”

Kudo regretted and bite his lips. It was really a shame to ask for help when fighting Class F.

Then the situation was not looking good for Shimada. Both syokanjus were using their weapons and fighting with all their strengths, none of them can move now. If the number of enemies increased, she would definitely lose.

“Shimada, do you need help? You don’t want to be sent to the tuition room like this right?”

“You'll just get in my way!”

“You are so mean!”

I regretted and bit my lips. She is so mean to me!

However, this was no time for jokes. No matter how tired I was, I shouldn’t just run away in a situation like this. It was time for me to join the battle.

“Syokanju Summoning!”

A familiar magical circle appeared beside me. The syokanju that had the same amount of fighting ability as my mathematics score, slowly showed itself.

Its strong looking face!

Its sturdy body!

Its fast and swift moves!

Its absolute strength it showed when it was summoned!

“Don’t worry about Yoshii! You can see that he is just a weakling!”

“Pay me back! Pay me back my handsome descriptions!”

“Go away, you weakling!”

“Shimada, are you really my partner? Why do you insult me so much!”

It was true that my syokanju only had a bokuto[http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Baka_to_Tesuto_to_Syokanju:Volume1_Translator%27s_Notes#Question_6] on its hand and looked very weak.

Now I was surrounded by the enemies (one of them was my classmate)!

“Now we're in trouble.”

Shimada’s face was slightly twisted.

Although she could win against the enemies, the difference in the score was small. It was obvious that Shimada had consumed a huge amount of marks.

“Goodbye!”

The Class B student controlled her syokanju and attacked, Shimada’s syokanju couldn’t dodge it. Now is the time for me to show up!

“Taste my kick!”

I let my syokanju dash forward and trip my enemy over from the side.

“Ah!”

Underestimating my ability plus unfamiliarity with controlling a syokanju, the enemy tripped over easily.

“This is not the end of it!”

I used my bokuto and swung towards the enemy, hit it into the ground. Now is the time!

“Ah----”

My syokanju quickly grabbed the back of the head of the enemy syokanju, and thrust its head towards the ground.

Boom! It made a loud noise that could be heard anywhere along the corridor.

“Huh?”

Everyone said that at the same time.

The result of the battle was decided instantly.

Class B Sanada Yuka VS Class F Yoshii Akihisa

Mathematic 166 marks VS 51 marks

The score of the battle just now appeared in the air.

It is so embarrassing! Her score is triple mine!

“What! Sanada’s score is higher right? Why was she defeated by such a weak syokanju?”

Kudo from Class B complained to the teacher. This had nothing to do with the teacher, what can you get from her?

“Huh? My syokanju is still alive?”

The syokanju that was beaten into the ground stood up, the power was really not enough…

“Yoshii, what happened?”

“Ah… I guess these are maybe the few advantages for being a ‘Kansatsu Shobunsha’?”

From everyone’s performance in the war against Class D, I realized that controlling syokanju was not an easy task.

The extraordinary power and the difference in size, these made controlling syokanju more difficult. Therefore everyone only used dash attacks or simple attack methods, and let the score to determine the result.

“What do you mean by advantages?”

“In other words, I am used to controlling syokanju!”

As a "Kansatsu Shobunsha," I had summoned my syokanju countless time, and the pain and tiredness that bounced back to me gave some advantages---- it forced me to make my Syokanju perform more complicated actions. If I only knew how to perform simple actions such as "run" or "swing the knife," I could never do those extra jobs given to me.

“This is just an accident!”

The enemy raised its knife again and attacked me. However her terrified expression made me a little bit happy.

“Ha!”

Facing the enemy’s knife, I made my Syokanju block its attack. As the score showed, our power difference was threefold. If I took the damage directly, the bokuto would definitely break into two, so I must defend the attack by diverting the enemy’s attacking force.

“Ah!”

The enemy’s knife was thrown sideway, and it's body was open for attack.

“Haaa!”

I let my Syokanju dash forward and gave it a hit at its waist, then another hit on its head.

Class B Sanada Yuka VS Class F Yoshii Akihisa

Mathematic 126 marks VS 51 marks

The value shown had made a few changes. I have already bullied the enemy like this, but we still had a huge gap in our power. My Syokanju is really weak!

“We better take them seriously!”

“Although I don’t want to bully Class F like this, we can’t just stand here and look at this mess.”

The other two people at the back walked out. No matter what, this situation was just too bad right?

“Ah, wait a minute. At least have a fair fight, two versus two duels!”

“Yoshii, you are wrong, it's not four against two now.”

“Huh? The backup has arrived?”

“It is five versus one now!”

“Shimada, are you going to betray me now?”

Just how much does she dislike me?

“I am coming, take this!”

Along with some useless shout, the enemies' syokanju attacks came. I let my syokanju duck to dodge the attacks.

“This guy!”

“The undead guy!”

Wa! The number of enemy syokanjus had just increased by two! Was this the so called “death by dismemberment” punishment?

The enemy syokanjus stood side by side and rushed towards me. I should avoid being surrounded before trying to defeat them.

“It is clear that we should be able to kill him in one hit…”

“None of our attacks land on him…”

“This guy is just like Metal SlOme.”

I am not that weak!

“Hey!”

I angrily dashed into one of the enemy’s stomach and gave him a punch, right on target!

And I hurt my hand. That was the result of the reacting force.

“Should we start now?”

“Damn! I am retreating now!”

Kudo realized that he couldn’t win in a one on one fight so he decided to retreat. He wasted a lot of marks in the fight just now, so it was a good idea to run away. Now it became three versus two--- No, Shimada had also spent a lot of marks too, so it is now three versus one.

“Shimada, now!”

I gave an instruction to Shimada who was not being attacked by the enemies at the moment, and who was looking towards the fire extinguisher I used before.

“Roger!”

Shimada picked up the fire extinguisher and pulled out the safety switch. Now we should be able to run away-----

“…”

--but she is not moving now. What’s wrong?

“Quickly use it!”

“Ah, what should I do?”

She looked extremely smug now.

“Sh-Shimada! What do you want?”

Shimada had shown her true self in a dire situation like this! It was very hard to fight against three opponents at the same time!

“What do I want? Ah, right----”

“I will do anything you want!”

“Then firstly, let’s change how we call each other!”

“I will do it! Please let me change it!”

“Then, I will call you Aki, and you will call me Minami-sama.”

“Mi-Minami-sama! Is that ok?”

“This holiday, I feel like going to the ‘La Pedice’ in front of the station, and eating some crêpes there.”

“Damn! I can only live with salt water! How can you think of such a luxurious idea--- Ah! Okay okay, I will treat you, Minami-sama! Please allow me to give you a treat, don’t leave me alone!”

“Good, and one last thing.”

“More? Give me a break!”

Shimada looked very happy.

“Say you will love me forever?”

What! This is like looting in a burning house! I will remember this!

“You will love me forever.”

I repeated exactly what she had just said. Now she should have nothing to complain about right?

“Idiot!”

(Blowing sound)

The fire went all out.

We had white powder all over our bodies and barely escaped with our lives.

But why did Shimada look like she was in a bad mood?

<center>☆</center>

“Ah----I am exhausted!”

“Y-Yoshii! Are you alright?”

Himeji opened the door and dashed out. Her bouncing breasts were really dazzling.

“Yeah. This is nothing---- Ah, it hurts!”

Shimada fiercely stepped on my leg. For some reason Shimada was really angry with me today.

“Humph!”

“S-Shimada, what did I do wrong?”

(Scary stare!)

“Ah, n, no, Minami...”

That gaze that could kill anyone was focusing on me now.

Although she specially approved me to remove the "sama" honorific, the way I call her couldn’t be reverted.

I couldn’t really get use to calling her Minami in such a short amount of time.

“Why did the relationship between you two become very good now?”

“Huh? You mean us?”

If our relationship was good, she wouldn’t be stepping on my feet and threatening me at the same time right?

“Ah, you are back? Thanks for all the hard work.”

“You look fine.”

“Yeah, I am back.”

Yuuji and Hideyoshi walked out as well. Silent Pervert didn’t seem to worry about us so much, but he also slightly nodded towards me.

“Then everyone.”

“Huh?”

Yuuji looked at everyone and said,

“Now the situation shows that Class C is our enemy. Since they haven’t attacked us now, they will be declaring war with us immediately after this war ends. To tell the truth, we don’t really stand a chance if we are fighting Class C immediately after Class B.”

They must be thinking about the same thing. Even if we win this war, they won’t give us any time to rest, and attack us immediately.

“Then what should we do? Even if we win this war, we will only be an easy target for Class C right?”

“That’s true…

“Don’t worry.”

Confronted by a troubling group, Yuuji stared with his energetic and wild look and said,

“Since they are going to attack like this, I will counter their attack in my way.”
