CH 130

“Thank you, really. I didn’t think it would go this well.”

Lux, the brains of C-Class, thanked Hope and her girlfriend, Shelly, who is coming back.

“E-Class got first, but is that okay?”

‘Yeah, so far it’s been a back and forth except for A-Class. I’m sure there’s not much of a difference since we matched points in the obstacle race. The other two will probably be taken by the Bryon Chamber of Commerce’s kids, so let them take those. There’s probably no way to win.”

“…… Is that okay?”

When Deuce opened his mouth, Lux nodded and explained. 

“If we keep the other kid at the bottom, all the classes will be about the same. If we get first place at the end, then all the classes will have a chance.”

“Hah~, well done…”

Goooooooooooo ……

Just as Nemigo, the butcher, was about to scratch his head and speak, a dull sound and a breeze shook the tent, causing everyone present to jump and check the source. There was Lars, punching the ground with his fist.

“…… Gulp …… D-Did he do that?”

“N-No way …… Even if his magic is strong, I don’t think he’s that much ……”

“Y-You didn’t mean to upset him, did you? It’s okay, it’s part of the calculation, right, Lux?”

When Fara looked back at Lux, he was frozen with his eyes wide open. When he realized that he was being watched, he turned around and coughed.

“Ahem …… Obviously, rather now that we pissed him off, we’ll target them when they have more openings. I’ll be there in the end, so don’t worry. Never mind that, we have to make the necessary arrangement with the others of the classes, okay?”

They were all relieved to hear those words.

But then–

“(How much magic power does that guy have!? If it was a winner-takes-all match, it would’ve been a close call …… but If I fight him here and fall in a cool way, will I be able to make an excuse to the rest of the class ……? I think I can make it if I work with the other classes.)”

The other classes were also horrified at the sight of Lars’ rage, and changes were emerging.

“No, no, no, what was that!?”

Comber, who did his best to remove the scent of the dark stink bug, shouted in astonishment. Then Onette looked at Lars with a cold sweat and said.

“It seems that the wind was caused by the reaction of punching the ground …… I don’t think it’s magic, but ……”

“It’s more dangerous if it’s not magic, isn’t it ……?”

When Chero replied, Garth narrowed his eyes, looked at Lars and C-Class, thought for a moment, and then told everyone.

“I have a feeling this is going to be bad, C-Class is planning to win the combat competition, but there is a good chance that Lars and his team will take first place.”

“What should we do then?”

“…… We break our alliance with C-class. We’ll do our best to get the other two so that we can take the top two places in the combat competition. Sylvia, June, I leave it to you.”

When Garth called out to them, the narrow-eyed brown-haired girl and the freckled, frightened girl with red hair nodded.

“Aye!”

“I-I’ll do my best! First place …… First place ……”

“Hahahaha! Lars-kun is bit of a wild one!”

“no laughing matter, Reiss. Don’t you think he’s getting serious?”

“It’s a good thing for me, Yoshino. He is the same age as me and can even use ancient magic …… If I want to leave an offspring, he is definitely the one! …… That battle at the lord’s mansion …… No, it’s nothing.”

While Reiss was giving an impassioned speech as if she was about to have a nosebleed, Reous, who was relaxing at the bread-eating contest, intervened.

“S-Stop, a girl shouldn’t say that ……”

“Reous, you’re kind, but sometimes that can be a bad thing, you know? Do you want Chirua to — Mgh!?”

“S-Stop it already!?”

A girl with green hair down to her shoulders shrugs her shoulders, puts her hand on Reiss’ head, and asks with a resentful expression.

“At any rate, with D’s strength, they can’t beat A class, right? Our dance also came in third too, Damn ……! We need Coulson, Jean, and at least one more.”

“Don’t you think it should be me, Gaila, and Tilia? If anything goes, I think it’s my stage …… Kuku ……”

“Fufu, you look bad. This Tilia will do her best!”

Then Reiss smiled and told everyone.

“Now, as to our agreement with C-Class, go get the other two as fast as you can. Chirua, please.”

“Are you sure?”

“It’s going to be a little tough to beat A-Class in the combat competition. That’s why I want to get some points for second place in combat competition.”

“Then, Yoshino and I will work hard together–“

“Yeah!”

“I’ll do my best at the end.”

“No, Naru-chan, there are two more things to do before that ……”

Kindle sighs and says to Naru, and the violet-haired kid opens her mouth anyway.

“We’ll take at least one first place, Sherry and Sonya. The rest of us will manage the battle with Milly, Eefa and Carl.”

“Okay, I’ll manage the stuff-all-you-can ……”

“A lot of high-priced goods.”

“It’s not like you’re not going to have it, okay, Sherry? Whatever it is, if you keep up with the C-Class, we’re going to lose ……. Okay, We’re going to go all out on the rest. Let’s pretend we’re working hand in hand and take the next one. As I recall, it was D’s turn to take, right? Why don’t we take it while he’s manipulating the points? We don’t get to choose the means, after all.”

She smiled at Carl’s words, and B-class, or rather all the classes, waited for the next competition.

It was a strange situation, all the classes were trying to outdo each other, and the scene was sure to get more chaotic.

“Uuuh …… I would’ve liked the bear …….”

“Sarge slipped out again ……”

When Kudelica and I returned, Sarge had slipped out of Mom’s place again and was hiding in the tent. Apparently, he was jealous of Nora’s gleaming eyes on the baby bear. He insisted that he wasn’t, but we laughed and said that he definitely was.

“That’s an unusual mistake for Lars.”

“Oh, I’m sorry to say this …… but it’s comforting to know that even Lars can fail.”

Urka and Yogus chuckled, because they had made mistakes too. I can sense that they are looking out for me, and I loosen my tension a little.

“What do you think I am? I may be a little strong, but that’s about it.”

“Well, you can’t be strong and stupid at the same time.”

“Haha, true.”

Yes, it’s meaningless to be an idiot as Ryuuze said. I feel that they will end up being used because they have too much power. The same is true in Japan. You’ll be taken advantage of …… and that’s what Jack-of-all-Trades is all about.

“I wish I could have fought back more.”

“They were good at that. I think it would have been the same no matter who did it. I’m sure Lars-kun makes mistakes once in a while too, so no one will blame you!”

“Y-Yeah. Thanks, Makina-chan.”

“Don’t be too depressed, Lars, okay? There’s the end too, after all♪.”

Makina and Helena also spoke to me, which made me happy and gave me a boost.

“All right!”

“Kyaa!? You startled me ……”

“Oh, sorry, Luciel! The next competition, I leave it to you!”

I slapped my cheek to get myself fired up, and Luciel was surprised. And I gave her an encouragement as she entered the stuff-all-you-can competition.

“Yeah! I’ll show you the results of my practice! I wonder if they’ll be surprised?”

“Maybe they’ll fall silent when you take first place easily.”

“Geez, don’t say that!”

While I was talking to Luciel, Jack came over to me.

“Haha, it’s rare to see the always calm Lars get fired up! It makes me feel sorry for the other class ……”

“I got a little bit of energy from everyone, after all. I was thinking that it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, but if this happens, let’s go for first place. We need to show them that they can’t win even if they work together, right? For now, let’s stay away from the other classes. If it’s stull-all-you-can, you might get knocked down.”

” “Ou!” “

“Next is the stuff-all-you-can competition! Players on the field, please.”

“You’re up, Luciel. Nora, I leave it to you!”

“Yes!”

“I’ll do my best!”

Sarge and I saw them off, and they left. Now, what will the rest of the class do? ……?

No stock!

Thank you for reading!

“I’ll make it until Saturday or Sunday. ……!”

I, I can’t ……!
