High School Hack and Slash

Umm, do you have a second? Be things as they may be, I’m still a『Knight』, a second step class of『Fighter』 branching, though.」

In front of the merry and carefree peanuts gallery, Otoha-san, clad in full armor, is holding an estok.

The armor is a full-body armor made by『Adept Workers』, carved out of the shell of a monster, and seems to be astonishingly lightweight in spite of it possessing hardness beyond that of steel.

And the estok seems to be a magic item produced from a dungeon treasure chest.

Estok is mainly a slender, straight-bladed sword designed to pierce heavy armor such as a chainmail, just as its alias『armor piercer』, I think.

There is a similar Western sword category called rapier, but the two have different shapes and handling methods.

It is basically a『thrusting』 weapon, so it seems to have a good affinity with『Knight』 who have『Charge』 skill.

Come to think of it, during my duel pilgrimage, there was an opponent who rushed at me with a unnaturally accelerated tackle, I guess that was the so called『Charge』, huh.

「The kuh, kill me attribute, huh.
Looks like the outcome is already as clear as day.」

「Touma-kun, do treat her kindly, okay.」

「Leave it to me.」

「Say, don’t you think it’s quite not right? Isn’t the one you should be worried about the other way around?」

A temporary battle area has been set up in front of the entrance of Asagi-sou.

Given the fact that today is Sunday, there are also a lot of boarding students who are spectating, peeking out their faces through the windows or the front door.

It is not a student duel (Mensur) this time, so there is no mysterious field made by the duel committee.

Otoha-san, who for some reason is indignant, is glaring at me, but there is no SP bar on the ▼ display above her head.

Not only can she not use her skills properly, she doesn’t have SP armor either, so isn’t this a bit too unfair of a condition, I wonder.

Well, it seems that magic skills that depend on magic items and, for those who have reached a certain high level, low consumption skills can be used even on the above ground.

And then, the thing called miasma concentration around the academy seems to fluctuate, and depending on the stars and weather conditions, there are also times when you can use skills on the same level you use in the dungeon, or so it was said during the class.

「For the time being, beat her instantly with all of your might.
I’ve realized these days that if you’re faced with something too absurd, you won’t even be able to muster up strength to retort.」

「I just accepted an order from Mikan-senpai to treat her gently, though.」

「… Are you seriously going to gently publicly humiliate her? Just be sure to stop before she has a personality breakdown.」

I think maybe this guy is an idiot.

Even if Otoha-san has an exhibitionist hobby, shame play is too much of a peculiar fetish.

Or rather, as if flowing, the bout arrangements have ended up being put in order, but I’d like to ask some matters to Shizuka-san pertaining to this present situation.

It seems that the talk of forming a club has been moving forward, leaving me out of it.

「Looks like you’re underestimating me quite a lot there….
Now, get ready! I’m going to have you experience pain for a bit.」

Since a while ago, Otoha-san has been making loser flag-ish remarks.

It’s scary that I feel that she’s going to start saying, 「Kuh, kill me」, or something.

Unlike the punishing of scums, a match with pride at stake ought to be carried out fairly.

At the very least, Raijin-style high-speed maneuvers and navel snatches should be sealed.

I don’t know the reason for this fight, so even now I can’t raise my motivation, but winning is what a match is all about.

It’s using the same rules as that of a student duel (Mensur), so I stand face to face with Otoha-san.

「… What about your equipment? I told you to come at me for real, didn’t I?」

「I’m combat ready at all times.
Therefore, don’t worry about it.」

What I’m currently wearing is the sports jersey which I usually wear.

For girls, there are some students who are dressed up in fashionable outfits, but for boys, their daily wear are usually jerseys.
