Nameless 2nd year MagicianPhew, troublemakers have finally taken a back seat.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

What are you saying, it's just the calm before the storm.

I mean, look at those black-clothed people. Perched at the edge of their seat, ready to jump at any moment for cheer.

Nameless 2nd year Axeman

Second year boys look like they have been placed in a snowy mountain without clothes.

Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

I can't stop myself from going Shiver-Shiver flutter-flutter Thump-Thump Twitch-Twitch!!

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

Oh, <Flash of Flower> has started to take action!

This makes their 3rd raid, no!?

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

They're...... a three-pronged attack huh. I guess they're trying to sneak their way with the team in the north as the main force while central east and west are divergent.

The sub-guildmaster sure isn't pulling her punches against first-year students.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Don't make a joke, we're past the point to consider <Eden> just another first-year. But a pincer attack using obstacles huh. I believe this is <Eden> first time in a mixed field, right? Maybe the third time might become their charm.

Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

Am I in some neglect play......?

Nameless 2nd year Priest

The three members advancing from behind the opposite of east sounds like the main force. And seems like they're using something like concealment?

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

I believe so. They must be doing to keep their opponent in the dark. Look, they're not even taking down surrounding squares just so that their changed color doesn't rattle them out.

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

Scribble-Scribble.

I will have my guild learn from it.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

The main point is White will have to face the pincer attack if they keep holding themselves in the base. Their first thought should be to escape from their opponent's encirclement.

But, Red is mounting an assault with a three-member team. Take note of it, this is the second point. Surely, White would see it as the chance to crush them by numbers---which is what they're aiming for, to lure out White.

It's a divergence is usually not the first thing that will come to their mind.

Scribble-Scribble.

Continue.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

Good.

While one of Red's team is throwing bait toward the White and leading them around by their nose, bam, their main force swivels opposite and catches them in pincer attack. This is their objective.

Mobilizing all their members has left the base empty, but the divergence will keep White busy from targeting their base.

Raid & Defence, Divergence & Lure---two birds with one stone.

Well, usually many trip just by reading the situation wrong in their first try, or should have been but......

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Hmm, it's like Brave is holding the Akashic Record.

Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

What-What the hell is wrong with the world?

Look at Brave, all his actions are taking a shot at the opponent's force, both in light and dark!!

Just how, when he doesn't have any eyes in the sky unlike us!

Nameless 2nd year Magician

They are waiting a step ahead to greet the main force!

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

Rats. <Flash of Flower> strategy is down the drain now.

There's no point in advancing when the divergence has been seen through. It's their cue to retreat while they still have their count.

Unfortunately, they're lacking a 3rd year leader who could have led the main force to avoid the trap. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

Ah! The hunter becomes the hunted!?

And wut, two of them even caught off guard by debuff!?

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

It's hard to tell where the game is heading now.

The guildmaster of <Flash of Flower> who should have been spearheading the main force as a matter of fact is missing. Their eagerness for a comeback is glass-clear.

The second year group just don't have that experience to make up.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Ouch, guildmaster...amen.

That was quite a blasting greeting by Princess.

Nameless Royal Guard 1

Ah, the finesse to take down the strongest enemy head on, who else would it be if not our great great Princess!

Nameless Royal Guard 2

When Her Highness makes a move, there's no need to debate who is gonna win!

Nameless 1st year Shielder

Add in Brave and they can stomp anything!

Nameless 1st year Female Soldier

Of course, there's nothing that <Eden> can't beat!

Brave-kun will blow away all the walls!

Nameless Royal Guard 1

Ohhh, Her Highness too!

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Oh my god, B-Brave-fan and Royal guards getting along!?

Ahem, anyway look, there's just 10 minutes left.

The main force of Red is all dispatched to <Loser's Room>, but there's hardly any dent on <Eedn>.

a2

Aren't they curb stomping too much!?

My body just can't stop shivering, for another reason you know.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

No one saw such a one-sided crunch coming......

.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

The game's over.

It's really a freaking score now that you look at it again!

I have never seen such brutal stomping ever you know!? And the guildmaster of <Flash of Flower>......yeah, she has my condolence.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

Still, it was worth seeing the guild battle.

Their decision to even take down base at the end was awesome. Honestly, it's as if Brave was doing everything to give the audience an exhilarating battle. Which also means they weren't even in their final form.

Nameless 3rd year Investigator

The match was absolutely great.

It's a pity luck was not on <Flash of Flower> side, but I would say it's on them for insufficient prepareance. Especially the guildmaster who didn't take it seriously.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Heavens, what're you saying Senpai, 'don't take it seriously' is the main point here though? I mean, their opponent is just a first year guild you know?

Well, yeah, this test has made it clear they're just another cut above others, but still.

Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

I swear this is it! You have to look at the faces of all the boys around me, so out of focus as if the lantern of life is hovering right before their eyes.

They're just repeating '<Eden> is the true boss' like a broken puppet.

Nameless 3rd year Investigator

My words, you have to look at the expression of C-rank guild. They're so comically frightened.

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

What else did you bloomin' expect!?

Their peak performance is properly mad, even to my eyes as a former C-rank guild member, Senpai! Not even the C-rank guild could've been as on the ball as they were! God forbid but anyone who gets targeted can just kiss their C-rank goodbye......

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Just the idea that they might be the next <Flash of Flower> is enough to chill even the blood of cold-blooded fella. The fear that brings shivers huh.

All the C-rank guilds, just know that you have a priest praying for you from the shadow! Though not like I can do anything else.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

Indeed, now it's to see which guild <Eden> is going to target next.

Everyone looks jumpy to gather intel. Oh, it sounds like their competition has already begun.

Nameless 3rd year Investigator

I wonder what they will do once they get to know they're the next target. Maybe took the time to prepare a fine sacrifice?

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

S-Sacrifice!? Please don't pour oil on the spooks.

As one of the former C-rank guilds, I know very well how tense it is for the defender side.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

Well, there's so much but that's all we can do.

Anyway, <Eden> has won for now, so for now, let's give them our congratulations for the first D-rank guild in freshman year.

This is the duty of us, seniors. Probably.

Check out the rowdy scene the Royal Guards and Brave fans are causing. Uh-huh, they have completely surpassed even the announcement of <Eden> winning in their ruckus.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Hah, it's as Supporter-senpai said.

Though it's amazing in a sense how the announcement didn't even matter to them. Alright, I am going to congratulate them!

Congratulations on your promotion, <Eden>!

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

Congratulations!

And I hope you don't target our guild when we get back to C-rank.

Nameless 3rd year Investigator

But don't you think <Eden> will leave them in stick by the time Swordsman regained his C-rank?

Either way, congratulations are a must.

I am also going to join in the merry-making of Brave fans, so that's all from me.

See ya.

Nameless 2nd year Axeman

Time to disband us.

Alright we're heading to the cafeteria for juice and all.

Nameless 2nd year Magician

Don't drink too much.

Nameless 2nd year Priest

Oh well, this sounds like the end of the fun time.

Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

Yup.

Nameless 3rd year Supporter

Umu.

Oh, right. I just suddenly remembered, what happened to who will be recruited from the opponent's guild now that Eden has an open slot... I was sure there were some rumors about it, but guess they were just rumors in the end.
