CH 140

“E-Class is back on track here.”

“Ha-ha-ha, yes! That’s right! My class seemed to be a bit exhausted from the battle with A-Class. I was hoping for a break.”

As I was taking care of Makina, it seemed that the other side’s match was over, and I heard the actual situation that E-Class had defeated C-Class, and their homeroom teacher, Samwell-sensei, let out a sigh of disappointment.

We have two games left. It depends on how B-Class will do, and one more win will seal the deal, so I’d like to take a break.

“After all, they’re both like this ……”

“Ahaha, this is troubling……”

“S-Sorry ……”

“Zzzzzzz-“

“Well, there are three of us, so we should win. But we can’t let our guard down.”

Urka said while poking Ryuuze. I nodded my head in agreement, and Reiss wandered over, supported by her classmates.

“Hey, how are you doing? Ouch, It’s a good fist, Makina-kun.”

“…… You’re quite sturdy, aren’t you.”

“Well, I’m not an idiot either. I put on my armor and flew backwards to escape the impact so I could stand like this.”

I felt that this guy, unlike Lux, was really tricky to watch out for. I think that if she trains, her combat capability will be quite high. Anyway, I asked Reiss. 

“What are you doing here? The game might start soon, you know?”

“Well, I promised to give you the medicine if Makina-kun won. I’m here to fulfill that promise.”

Reiss takes out a vial and offers it to me. And then Kudelica pouted and said.

“I cannot accept such a suspicious potion!”

“Hm-hmm, are you sure? Isn’t it bad that they remain like that?”

“But ……!”

I put my hand on the shoulder of Kudelica, who was about to attack her, and I took the vial.

“It’s okay, Kudelica, I’ll gladly take it.”

“Are you sure?”

Urka tilted his head, but I smiled and woke Makina up to give her one of the vials to drink. Then Makina’s eyes blinked and she stood up quickly.

“…… was sweet and tasty ……”

“Good for you, Makina.”

“…… Hoh~.”

Aside from Reiss’ short muttering, I pinched Ryuuze’s nose and put another vial in his mouth. When I saw him gulp it down, I muttered to myself 

“……. I’m sorry, Ryuuze ……”

Everyone in the room, except for Reiss, looked at my words with a puzzled look on their faces. And then Ryuuze’s eyes widened.

“Ah, Ryuuze, thank goodness.”

When Urka gets down on one knee and his face lights up, Ryuuze turns red and rolls around.

“Uooooooohhhh, spicy! It hurts! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

“Ryu, Ryuuze!?”

…… It’s no wonder Ryuuze is rolling around. I don’t need to tell Reiss, but I can do a simple appraisal. If it was a laxative, I would have given it to Reiss, but the result was white.

The effects were one for Makina and one for Ryuuze. Makina’s was a liquid mixture of honey, extracts from a mushroom called White Oohara Mushroom, and some herbs, while Ryuuze’s was a very bad-looking liquid mixture of hajike-weed, chili peppers, and mint. But it had a good waking effect, so I gave it to him.

“Hiii …… It hurts …… Huh? This place is …… Wasn’t I fighting with Lux?”

“Yes, the battle with the C-Class is long over. You were asleep the whole time.”

Green mushrooms are very powerful. If a girl uses it, she can do all kinds of mischief, right ……?

“Green mushrooms are expensive, so they’re not easy to come by. You should be relieved to know that Lux was able to prepare this for you. “

“…… Really?”

Reiss said, as if she knew what I was thinking. I was a little nervous, but I kept my composure and replied. I was about to open my mouth, thinking that since she was here, I might as well ask her a few questions, but–

“The next games are B and C, and D and E class!”

“…… Mhm, a series of games, huh. Maybe we can get the other two to come out this time.”

“Yeah, I’ll go first if you want?”

“I’ll leave it to Sonia. Well then, A-Class, it was fun. Makina-kun and Kudelika-kun …… I’m not giving up, okay? Kukuku ……”

After Tigre-sensei decided on the lottery, Reiss and the others went back to their classmates. Well, there’s still a chance to talk, and I’ll ask them next time …… with everyone. I don’t want to be served by a weird drug, after all ……

“Nnn-, I feel good somehow! I’m sorry I fell asleep. let me go next.”

“Haha, you were sound asleep, after all. Then, I guess I’ll leave it to you?”

“Yeah! Wait, so we’re taking a break ……”

“Makina has just recovered, so it’s perfect. Let’s watch the other classes’ games, shall we?”

I said and walked closer to the field. Right in front of us, the battle between B-Class and C-Class was unfolding.

“Milly-chan’s water magic attacks Hope-kun! Hope-kun doesn’t want to take any damage here. But her doesn’t care, and he jumps into the Aqua Bullet with his shield at the ready!”

“C-Class is losing to A-Class and Class E. If they don’t win here, they won’t be able to reach B-Class.”

“I see, so E-Class did a good job! Well done, kids! Let’s have a big farewell party for me ……!”

Hope grabbed Milly by the scruff of the neck and forced her out of the field.

Following that, the unconscious Deuce magically defeats the small sword-using child named Yifa, and the resurrected Lux defeats Naru, who lives next door to Ryuuze, and that settles it.

“Yosh. Let’s go out there and beat the rest of the D-Class to take second place.”

“…… Yeah. A-Class’ first place is now secure, so we’ll have to go for second place.”

And the D and E classes were close, and as she had declared earlier, D was spearheaded by a girl named Sonia, who used her [Earth Master] skill to dig holes, shake things, and emit earthblade-like thorns to win, but when the exhausted Reiss lost, it was an uphill battle to the final game. They were up against the young miss named Onette, but she had her clothes melted with chemicals, so it was more like a 50/50 tie. 

In the end, Jean, a boy who hadn’t fought so far, was healthy enough to beat Garth easily and win.

“…… This means that all the teams except A-Class have one win each. D is unlucky because they didn’t have a match at the beginning.”

“You’re right …… I guess it’s going to be tough with the two remaining games in a row? In the meantime, the medicine Reiss gave me, I don’t know what was in it, but I feel so much better. Can I go second?”

I nodded with a wry smile as Makina put her hands on her hips and smiled. Since Kudelica hasn’t fully recovered yet, I think the third one would be followed by me, Urka, and Kudelica? Let’s do our best in the remaining two games.

And next time, the fight against the last B-Class will be ……! (I’ll skip E-Class ……!

Thank you for reading!

“It’s disturbing, she said(lol).”

It’s hard for me to take a serious turn ……

“Now, now, the fun is just starting, after all? The whole picture of the class competition will finally be revealed ……!”

No, it’s not that big of a deal ……
