It was Tuesday, the day after I had promised to do a guild battle and decided on the members who would participate in it.
I had also informed other members about the guild battle and the members I had decided on, and unsurprisingly, there were a lot of members who wanted to participate in it. To be precise, all the girls wanted to do that.
They were all dejected when I told them I had already decided on members that were in the guild yesterday, but somehow I cheered them up by saying I would definitely add them to the next guild battle lineup.
The question is how to set it up...
In the morning classroom, the lax appearance of Saturn-kun and his group made me quite curious about them.
How should I say it—it was like a winner's confidence? Was it just my imagination, or were they all donning a triumphant expression, as if already confirmed in their victory?
The morning assembly began while my thoughts were spiraling about them.
"Also, I have an announcement. A large-scale quest would soon be issued for E-rank guilds. ‹Eden› and ‹Machos› in this class are qualified to accept it, so check the details on your ‹Smartphone› and, if you feel like taking it, submit your request to me. A lot of quest points would be rewarded if you're successful in this large-scale quest, but be also aware that the competition rate is high, so carefully think about it before deciding."
We were informed about the large-scale quest by Phyllis-sensei from the podium.
Hmm, an Academy quest. Our dungeon exploration is already progressing smoothly, so I guess it's about time we also made our advances in questing too.
•Academy Quest
The Academy's quest is that lifeline you can't do without if you want to conquer the ‹Dungeon Activity›.
They can be accepted on a guild basis, and there is a feature that awards you with ‹Quest Point› and ‹Fame Value› if you can complete them successfully.
Saturn-kun tried to protest but was insta-killed by Phyllis-sensei. However, ‹Pri-4› weren't the type to give up with just that much.
"Fufu, please don't underestimate us."
"We, too, are members of Class 1! Even if our rank is F, we will not lose out in ability!"
"It would be a grave mistake to underestimate us."
Where the hell did their source of confidence lie! It hurts when everyone's attention is focused here in the classroom.
I'm even feeling a bit embarrassed since I'm sitting behind them and some glances were grazing past me. I really want to distance myself a bit from them.
Phyllis-sensei's expression was also troubled.
"But you see, the quest this time is for an intermediate-low grade dungeon. What is the level of your party?"
Oops, here's a devastating line from Phyllis-sensei.
Saturn-kun and others immediately froze on the spot as soon as the words about level came out and trembled. They were all shivering.
"Guh......"
And finally, they were only letting out the ‘guh’ sound.
In the end, Saturn-kun and others descended into utter silence and thus, the morning assembly came to an end
T/N - It ought to be PTSD absolutely regarding the world ‘level’.
