Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume3 The Sixth Question

The Sixth Question

Please write down your thoughts regarding this training camp.

Himeji Mizuki’s comment:

‘I benefitted a lot from studying with students from the other classes, and managed to get many beneficial tips from quite a few reference books involving subjects that I’m frustrated with, which I believe will help me in my studies. Though it may be rather loud at night, it’s still our school’s characteristic. Also, I managed to get a great secret photo from a certain someone, I’m so happy!’

Teacher’s comment:

Himeji-san’s grades for every subject are rather impressive, and sensei didn’t realise that you have subjects that you are unfamiliar with; I’m really sorry about that. However, it’s good that you found a way to solve the problems. It’s really been beneficial for you to study with class A students, so work hard during the next streaming exam. Also, please don’t be affected by the noise that those idiots caused.

Shimada Minami’s comment:

‘I will never ever forget about what happened on the third night. What should I do? I can’t discuss this with anyone, and I couldn’t find time to talk to that person…I knew about Mizuki’s feelings, so have I betrayed her? But if it’s in terms of liking, I liked him since last year, so I should be the earlier one, right? Arrgghh~! I don’t know what to do!’

Teacher’s comment:

What happened? It doesn’t feel normal when you can’t even discuss it with your friends. If you want, you can talk to sensei. Since I lived longer than you by a few years, I should be able to help out. But seeing you mention the word ‘feelings’ here, I’m wondering if it’s related to love?

If so, sensei can only say this. Don’t make a rash decision that you’ll regret for the rest of your life. A student’s responsibility is to think, be bothered, and grow up to be an accomplished adult.

Yoshii Akihisa’s comment:

‘Didn’t expect so many troublesome things to occur, this is really shocking. I lost consciousness on the first day and was carted directly into the hotel, so I didn’t have any memories of it. After that, I got labeled as a peeping tom, and those suspicious stares around me really bothered me. In order to train myself, I tried hard to break through the strongholds to peep inside the girls bathing area, but is this really alright? Actually, I’m really worried. This training camp really made me think about a lot of things.’

Teacher’s comment:

That’s right.

“Uuu….ahhh…”

Without thinking of holding back, I made a huge yawn.

I want to sleep. Anyway, I really want to sleep. I’m so sleepy I’m about to drop. I would have slept if it wasn’t for the precious breakfast time now.

“I’m so sleepy…”

Beside me, Yuuji’s rubbing his eyes as well.

It’s expected that we want to sleep. We got lectured by Ironman (with fists) into the morning. It’s been three consecutive days now, so It’s impossible for us to not want to sleep.

“You guys are really unlucky…”

Hideyoshi said with an apologetic tone. Is he feeling guilty that only the two of us got lectured? He doesn’t need to feel sorry since he was asleep.

“Even if we’re unlucky, it’s too—Uuahhh~~”

I can’t take it already. I continued to stretch my back. Today’s the last day already, so we got to replenish our sleep during the self-study period…

“It’s useless! Seeing you guys like this, for tonight’s attack, we might have to…”

“It’s not that we’re completely asleep. If we’re motivated, we will definitely wake up—Huahh~~”

Making a yawn just after opening the mouth, seems like the symptoms are really serious. As for how serious it is, let’s just say that even with the sliced salmon and delicious dishes in front of me, it’s unlikely for me to overcome the sleep demon.

“I can’t make it as well, not motivated at all—OOOHHHH!!”

“Wha, what’s with you, Yuuji?”

The dazed and sleepy Yuuji suddenly widened his eyes after seeing something. What? What did he see?

“…Super effective.”

“Ah, you’re here, Muttsulini. Good morning.”

Muttsulini appeared at the door and walked towards us. He seems to be holding something in his hand.

“Muttsulini, what did you show Yuuji just now? He seems really excited.”

“…A magic photo.”

It’s rare for Muttsulini to proudly lift his chest and make such a claim.

“Oh? Can you let me see it?”

“…(Hands over)”

Muttsulini slides the photos in his hand between Hideyoshi and me.

“A magic photo? What nonsense are you talking about? We’re already high school students, how can we be motivated by just a single photo—WWOOOWWW!!”

“Oh, this photo is…”

The first photo Muttsulini showed us is the photo of Himeji-san and Hideyoshi in yukatas.

Dressed in yukatas, Himeji-san and Hideyoshi seemed rather shy as they looked up at the camera, in a somewhat sexy manner, and there’s also a glimpse of the breasts!

“It’s great to live on this world…”

This picture doesn’t really show that much skin, but why am I feeling all excited? However, I’ll do anything just to get a photo of these two bathing!

“What’s the second photo, Akihisa?”

“Let me see…”

I pulled aside the first photo. It’s a double shot of Kirishima-san closing in while dressed in a yukata and Minami who’s in sports shorts.

“This, this is great! Muttsulini, this photo was taken at a perfect angle! You have my utmost respect!”

“That’s really amazing…to be able to cut Akihisa and Yuuji out of the photo, isn’t this of professional level already?”

This photo isn’t any different from those self-photos sold on the market! Though it’s too bad that not everyone’s in a yukata, it’s still a very viewable photo. To be able to even bring out Minami’s attractive side in such a healthy manner, I can only say that Muttsulini’s photo-taking skills are near godlike!

“And the third photo?”

“Ah, Mm! The third photo is—”

I pull out another photo from below. The third photo that appears in front of me is—isn’t this me in the sailor uniform?

“…It was taken beautifully, so I developed that one.”

“LET GO OF ME, HIDEYOSHI! I MUST SLICE THAT IDIOT’S HEAD APART!!”

“Calm down first, Akihisa! Isn’t this photo taken beautifully?”

Hideyoshi hugged me tightly, not allowing me to deal the killer blow.

When was that photo taken anyway?

“That’s amazing, Muttsulini. When did you take that photo?”

Yuuji’s eyes have regained their vigour as he suddenly praised Muttsulini. For Yuuji to react like this when he doesn’t even show that much reaction to girls, it’s likely that ordinary guy will react a lot more than him.

“Now we just need to hope for reinforcements.”

Hideyoshi’s right, it’s unlikely for those guys to not falter once they see these photos. As a guy, I understand this the most, but…

“…Do we really have to show these photos to the rest?”

Ah~ if possible, I hope that I can stuff these photos directly into my bag.

“Akihisa, don’t forget our initial aim. We won’t be able to succeed if we don’t care about the entire plan.”

“Uu…I know that…”

I just feel that it’s a pity that we have to show it to the rest!

Even so, I know that Yuuji’s right. Our aim isn’t to get these photos, but to be able to successfully peep inside the girls bathing area.

“Sorry, my bad. These photos are meant to achieve our goal, so I should abstain from such thoughts. Besides, I will tell Muttsulini to prepare one gross Sixth Questionfor me, so I just need to endure it.”

“Isn’t one gross too much?”

“You’re not thinking of abstaining!”

Stop bothering me, you guys!

“Alright, if so, then—”

Yuuji pulled out a pen from who knows where, and writes a few messy words behind the photos.

‘Pass these photos to all the guys, and don’t let the girls or the teachers see it! If anyone is to try and take these photos for their own, they will executed under the name Sakamoto Yuuji!’

I see, if we don’t write down these notes, these photos will likely be stolen.

“Oi, Sugawa, pass these to the guys.”

Yuuji passes the photos to Sugawa-san, who’s beside our eating breakfast. He receives the photos with a puzzled look.

“WAAAAHHH—”

And the next moment, he’s awake.

“Oh yeah, Yuuji, you should have taken away my photos, right?”

“Relax, passing that kind of thing around will only demoralise them. I did take away that photo of yours.”

“I see. It’s good that you took it.”

If those photos are to be passed out, it’s utterly meaningless for me to even think of preventing those photos of me in girls’ clothes to be spread around.

“Eh? Muttsulini, you still have more photos?”

Hideyoshi sees that Muttsulini still has a photo in his hand. Really, what did he take?

“Let me see, what did you take here?”

“Ah, me too!”

I peek in to look at the photo that Hideyoshi received from Muttsulini.

What’s on the photo is—me in a sailor uniform (with underwear revealed)

“…I couldn’t help but take it.”

“LET GO OF ME, HIDEYOSHI! I MUST RIP THAT IDIOT’S HEAD OUT AND MINCE IT!!!”

“I DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING! I DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING, SO PLEASE CALM DOWN!!”

Anyway, whatever the case, our momentum’s at the highest now due to these photos.

☆

Tida tida—for some reason, the sound made by the second hand becomes really loud. I didn’t really bother about it in the past, and unexpectedly, I started to be mindful of it.

“Akihisa, don’t get anxious right before the event. We got our points replenished and passed the photos over for everyone to see. We already did what we can do, and we just need to do fight with our best effort.”

Resting in a corner of the room with his eyes closed, Yuuji warned me. The more critical the situation is, the more I feel like praising this guy’s nerves.

“The three classes D, E and F will be participating with full strength like yesterday, so we’ll just see if the other three classes A, B and C are willing to help out.”

Since we had to focus on the tests in order to replenish our points, we didn’t have time to talk to the other boys, so we have no idea how effective the photos are now. We can only see the effects during the battle.

“…I must take revenge today.”

Even Muttsulini’s getting pumped. Maybe it’s because he’s satisfied with the photos he took that he managed to answer quite a lot of questions with a lot of enthusiasm during the day tests. Muttsulini’s attitude tonight is already terrifying.

“It’s about time to battle, so let’s get our final battle meeting done.”

Opening his eyes, Yuuji walked over to me, with Hideyoshi and Muttsulini following suit.

“We’re now on the third level, and we have to break through the four areas, third level, second level, first level and the girls bathing area before we can get to our final destination.”

If it’s according to room allocation, the third level will be handled by classes E and F; the second level will be handled by classes C and D, classes A and B for the first level. In other words, our location is the further to the girls’ bathing area.

“Those guys from classes E and F will help out suppress our enemies on the third level, and class D will be handling the enemies on the second level, however…”

“It’s hard to defend fully with only class C, right?”

The teachers will also distribute the forces according to the strength of the students, so without class C, it’s going to be hard to break through the second level.

“However, we can only do this in the end.”

“That’s a certainty, and after we break through the second level—”

“…We’ll have to face Takahashi-sensei.”

“That’s right, as the level head, the resistance led by Takahashi-sensei will be guarding the first level. I guess Shouko, Himeji and Kudo Aiko will be waiting for us there.”

One of the biggest problems in our operation today will be the first level guarded by Takahashi-sensei. Whether we can succeed in this operation will be greatly dependent on whether we can break through this pass.

“I’ll create the space for Akihisa and Muttsulini to break through. However, you guys better be mentally prepared, since I won’t be able to stop Takahashi-sensei, Shouko and the rest for long.”

It’s impossible for Yuuji to stop those three alone, no, it’s likely that those three won’t be our only opponents. Those class A girls will likely be helping out, and I don’t dare to imagine how hard it is to try and stop them.

“If we can’t stop them…”

“That’s right, we’re finished once Akihisa and Muttsulini get pincered, and everything will be over. My remaining life will be ripped apart by Shouko, and Akihisa will be treated as a pervert for the rest of his life.”

“Even if we fail though, it doesn’t feel like anything will change…”

WHAT NONSENSE IS HIDEYOSHI SPOUTING!?

“Anyway, we can only try our best to stop Takahashi-sensei. If classes A and B are willing to help out, we should still have a chance of winning.”

“Uh hm, anyway, forget about class A, there shouldn’t be any problem for class B to join in, right? Their boys, seem to be interested in girls, especially their class rep. That photo should be rather effective.”

“Ah hahaha, hearing Hideyoshi say this, it seems like class A’s rep doesn’t seem interested in girls at all.”

“““…”””

Eh? Why is everyone looking away awkwardly?

“Once we get past Takahashi-sensei, the rest of the job will be yours. Akihisa, Muttsulini, you guys know what to do?”

“..I’ll definitely beat Daishima-sensei.”

“And I’ll have to take on Ironman, right?”

Really, I have never had such a tough battle in all the battles I took part in, because there are too many unknown variables. However…

“…No problem. We will definitely succeed.”

“Mn.”

“That’s to be expected.”

“That’s right.”

“Yeah.”

As long as we work together, we can definitely do something and make the impossible possible.

—Hua hua!

An electronic sound can be heard. It’s the reporting time of 8pm, and also the sound to signal the imminent battle.

“It’s finally the moment. You guys better get ready to give a good fight!”

“““OOOSSSUU!!”””

“No matter whether our opponents are the teachers or the girls, class A or class F, it doesn’t matter. AS MEN, WE’LL MAKE THEM SEE OUR STRONG FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!”

“““OOOSSSUU!!”””

“THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE! THE FOUR OF US STARTED THIS, AND THERE SHALL BE NO OUTCOME OTHER THAN VICTORY!!!”

“““THAT’S RIGHT!!!”””

“THE FOURTH NIGHT OF TRAINING CAMP, THE FINAL FIGHT WILL BEGIN NOW!!!”

“““WATCH US!!!”””

At 8pm of the fourth night of training camp. At this moment, the final fight to peep begins.

☆

“We spotted them! Those four are the main culprits!”

“Hasegawa-sensei! Let us deal with those four!”

The moment we stepped out of our room, we immediately face off against the girls led by Hasegawa-sensei. Seems like we were targeted right from the beginning.

“Humph, do you think you shrimps can beat me? Summon!”

Facing the two girls who charged forward, Yuuji summons his summoned beast without any hesitation.

They should be class E’s girls, right? If it were Yuuji two months ago, they should still have a chance, but there’s no chance now.

Class E, Furukawa Ayumi, Maths 83 points & class E, Minamoto Ryoka, Maths 77 points

Class F, Sakamoto Yuuji, Maths 224 points.

“Study some more before facing against me!”

““WAAAAAAHHHH—””

Yuuji’s summoned beast closed in extremely quickly and dished out some heavy punches. Just one hit is enough to determine the winner, and it’s impossible for class E to fight when they don’t have any experience against us who have tons of experience.

“Sakamoto-kun! Hold it right there!”

After the two girls got beaten, the leader of this girls’ bridage, Hasegawa-sensei, steps forward. Unfortunately for her though, she’s one step too slow.

“Sorry Hasegawa-sensei, but we won’t let you pass here.”

Stepping between us and Hasegawa-sensei are Sugawa-san and the rest.

“Yoshii, Sakamoto, leave this to us! You guys head on first! Summon!”

“““Summon!”””

Sugawa-san and the rest line up their summoned beasts like an iron wall.

“We’ll leave this to you guys, Sugawa-san!”

“Sure thing! But make sure you beat Ironman! Or else we won’t be able to peep either way!”

“I get it! We’ll meet at the girls’ bathing area then!”

Leaving this area to Sugawa-san, we turn our backs and head off in the other direction, and the brave warriors who won’t back down in the face of a teacher let out loud howls from deep within their spirits—

“MISS SHOUKO! MISS SHOUKO! WAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAAA!!!”

“SHIMADA’S CUTE FLAT CHEEEESSSSTTTT—!!!”

“HIMEJI-SAN, LET’S GET MARRIED!!!”

EVERYONE JUST WENT CRAZY!

“Such amazing morale! We should be able to take down the third level now.”

“This is because everyone’s working together.”

There are four people defending the third level, including Hasegawa-sensei, but no matter whether it’s sensei or the other girls coming over to help, they are suppressed by the boys of class E and class F, so the third level is a safe zone.

“However, the next one’s a tough one…”

“That’s right! We don’t know whether class C is participating or whether class D is doing it alone…”

Seems like there are battles going on downstairs. If only class D is participating, there is almost no time to avoid the teachers already. If we can’t successfully take down the forces on the second level, we’ll be pincered even if we’re to break through this pass, and our efforts will be futile.

“…No time to hesitate.”

“You’re right. Let’s roll!”

The four of us dash down the staircase. Jumping down two steps at a time and rounding around the platform, the scene that unfolds in front of us is—

“Don’t stop us from peeping! Summon!”

“Sensei! Please be prepared!”

“Eve, even you guys are participating in this…”

Chemistry teacher, Fuse Fumihiro, Chemistry 663 points

Class C, Kurosaki Tooru, Chemistry 144 points & Class C, Noguchi Isshin 132 points.

“Class C! You’re here to help!”

Those are the reinforcements that we so awaited.

“CLASS C, CLASS D! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! WE’LL LEAVE THE SECOND LEVEL TO YOU!”

Yuuji let out a highly motivated shout to encourage classes C and D, who are here for the same purpose.

“WHAT? WE SHOULD BE THE ONES HELPING OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!”

“IF WE DON’T PEEP, WHAT’S THE POINT OF US BEING GUYS!?”

“WELL SAID, BUT DON’T PULL US DOWN!”

Amazing! Everyone’s so pumped up that they’re shouting all over the place. To think that we mesh well with classes C and D.

“I say, this will get anyone excited.”

“Yeah, what gets us excited more than increasing our comrades?”

The opponents whom we faced off in the previous summoning battles are now fighting alongside us against the teachers and the girls. This is really touching.

“But the girls who were our comrades are now our enemies…”

“Don’t mind that.”

Speaking of which, the second level is clear. What’s next are the first level and the strongest opponent in front of the bathing area.

“Looking at the way things are going, class A and class B will definitely help out!”

“Don’t be so sure. Who knows whether it will be that smooth sailing?”

We head down another level, and the first level is already in front of us. If the two classes aren’t willing to help out, we shouldn’t be hearing any sounds of battle…

“…Help out…will ya…”

“…Fine fine…you win…”

Great! Seems like we won the bet! It’s a riot on the first level!

“Nice! Seems like we can take down the first level—”

“No, wait! Something’s not right!”

We hide back inside the darkness and analyse the situation. But what’s in front of us is the pitiful sight of the alliance of the teachers and the girls forcing the class B boys into a corner.

Class A, Kirishima Shouko, Combined subjects 4762 points & Class F, Himeji Mizuki, Combined subjects 4472 points.

Class B, Kasai Shinichi, Combine subjects 1692 points.

The overwhelming difference in points cause our forces to fall one after another. What’s going on!?

“…End of the line here, Yuuji.”

“Yoshii-kun, I won’t let you continue on.”

“IT’S SHOUKO!”

“Himeji-san, you…”

We got blocked at the staircase leading downstairs. Like what Yuuji predicted, it’s the strongest duo of Kirishima-san and Himeji-san. There are many defeated summoned beasts around them.

“Seems like class A isn’t here…”

Looking around, Hideyoshi unhappily states this fact. No matter whether it’s the combined subjects battles in front of us or the physics battles slightly further away, there’s no sign of class A. So in the end, only class B is willing to help out…?

“To think that they would deliberately set up such a formation, damn it!”

Seeing the defensive formation in front of the stairs, Yuuji cursed. Standing right tn front of the stairs is Takahashi-sensei, and it seems like she has no intention of moving aside. And surrounding her are Himeji-san, Kirishima-san and some other girls from class A. Takahashi-sensei’s role is most likely to take down another who tries to pass this place. As long as sensei don’t move aside, it’s hard to break past this area.

“Yuuji, what about the battle plan just now?”

“It’s alright to use it now, but you’ll get pincered once you get down to the basement. Thus, we need forces to hold them for now.”

The no.1 and no.2 of our school year are here, and Takahashi-sensei’s leading them with double their points. We can’t belittle the rest as well here; the situation here is critical. Most of class B’s boys are being held off by the physics teacher Kimura-sensei, who’s standing in the middle of the corridor, and English teacher Endo-sensei, so we can’t expect any reinforcements from them.

“…Yuuji. Take this punishment.”
