"T-they got the Class-12's leader!"
"What, they defeated Akemi?!"
"H-how could it be... Akemi actually lost."
"Unbelievable. I have seen her strength in the dungeon myself, so it shouldn't have been easy..."
"Yeah, she had the perfect score of never falling down in the dungeon......"
It appeared the loss of Akemi had been a huge blow to the alliance, bringing a tumultuous wave to the surrounding.
At a glance, she may appear kind of, err... odd, but she was a powerhouse nonetheless. She was one of the pillars that had been the backbone of their alliance.
Maybe their luck had finally started to run out, as alliance force had yet to get through the loss of Akemi, when they were suddenly blasted with another shocking phenonon—
"W-what's going on? Why did suddenly teleportation circle appeared?!"
"Impossible! T-this shouldn't be happenin—-"
"Kyaaaa!"
"Nooooo!"
"H-hey, the mbers of Class-12 are all..."
"Oh no, Kajmal-san too!"
"Nooooo, they got Class-12 mbers!!"
In a place far away, it was the sa mont when rt's team had sealed the fate of Class-12's base, and on the alliance battlefield, the effect was imdiate.
Class-12 had made for a total of 1/3rd of alliance firepower. And now, they'd completely lose them. Their predicant couldn't have been any more grave when Lamda and other substitutes had been dispatched as reinforcent as well.
"Raaaaa! «Grand Barrier»!" Kajmal, Rina's last defense, had tried to resist by casting defense skill, but there was no escape from teleportation skill. If anything, a serious attempt to resist elimination would've only worsened his situation.
"—Alas... it appears this is how far we can go."
Rina exhaled a lancholic sigh, their predicant clear to her.
They'd tried their best, yet they couldn't surpass the wall called Zephyr. When they couldn't make the situation while at their full power, it was even more impossible to achieve in their state then. No one had to guess the obvious.
Rina promptly put away the «Dragon's Miniature Garden» into her Item Bag, leaving the final command to their alliance.
"The outco may have been decided, but we're not going to give them an easy win!!"
" " "Yes, mam!!" " "
At this juncture, alliance had been reduced to a pitiful number of 8. Rina was quick to decide their final requiem.
"We are still alive, standing in this battlefield! So there's still one thing we can do—showcase our prowess! As the last standing one, take pride in yourself, and show them a sword is still a sword without its sharpness!"
"Let's gooo!!"
Since they'd no responsibility, it wasn't a hard decision. Plus, now that they're no longer in the crowd, they could appeal to the audience in a much more unobstructive fashion.
After all, the inter-class competition wasn't rely to decide one's standing, the academy also welcod many visitors from far and wide. If they could catch soone's eyes, then its value would be trendous! And their current situation, the turning point to a long drawn conclusion, would undoubtedly be receiving many attentive gazes!
The remaining mbers had almost abandoned their hope, surrendering themselves to their opponent, however Rina's speech ignited the last bout of their motivation, pushing them to give the final firework of this match.
"Co on! Let's show them we're no less than them! Ahem, but avoid that shielder!"
"H-hey, wait for ! And she was supposed to be my target!"
"Huh, whoaa! Why are you all coming at !?"
If there was still any resemblance of coordination left between the alliance, then this free-for-all mont shattered that apart just now. Everyone scrambled to target anyone they could find—except Sierra. They all avoided her like a plaque.
The first in their target was the Harmonic Trip of Class-1, as well as the rest of the girls. It appeared the alliance mbers saw them as easy fish to slaughter, and even among them, vanguard Sachi was the first one to be attacked.
"Hehe, the first kill belongs to ! «Longsword Sweep»!"
A boy dashed in Sachi's direction, and drew a slash. When it cos to showcase their skills, who was better than Class-1 in prowess? It was especially true for the Combat Departnt. If they could take down anyone from the top class, no one would doubt their prowess.
Their strategy so far hadn't been bad, but alas, had they forgotten if there was no pressure from the alliance, they're also giving their opponent a chance to act freely.
"Heh, so you really thought you could do anything at my watch? «Cover Shield»!"
"W-what?!"
Sierra, whom everyone had decided to avoid actively, joined the fray and prevented the slash from reaching Sachi.
"Wow, you're bold to target , eh! «Magi-Armant Max Drive» — «Magic Sword: LightSaber»!"
"H-huh...nooooooo!"
Once Sachi had found a mont of respite with the help of Sierra, She turned up, consuming all the stack of «Magi-Armant» to charge up «Magi-Armamnet Max Drive», and delivered a trendously powerful attack.
Magi-Armant Max Drive was an augnted category chargeable skill. At level 10, Magi Armant allowed users to use it 10 tis. However it was also possible to consu the stacks, and prompt for a the advanced skill. And the more charges are consud, the greater the damage would be dealt.
Sachi had just now consud 7 stacks to unleash her strongest skill—Light Saber, and delivered a sharp slash on the target, dealing huge damage to him. A tooth for a tooth.
In this way, alliance versus united front royal rumble shifted to a new, unexpected landscape.
◇◇◇
anwhile, back at the Class-5, the duo of Karua and Shizu had thoroughly turned their base upside down.
"Rgh...! Damn you, «gaton Punch»!"
"Hn... your movents are too wide. Can't punch ."
"Shit, she's too fast!"
Hyudo tried to drive a punch at Karua with his chanical arm, but Karua easily dodged that, slipping behind to open the distance between them.
He let out a frustrated shout as he clenched his chanical arm. His job, «Cyborg», had quite a peculiar unique skill, which granted him a stats bonus when equipped with chanical equipnt.
—'Defeat 100 monsters while equipped with chanical equipnt.'
Such were the requirents to acquire it. Sounds easy, eh? However the easier part had always been the more trickiest.
And the trap was in the chanical equipnt aspect. As a matter of fact, chanical equipnt had another famous alias they're known as—"Rusty Equipnt." They were rare drops, acquirable from «Silver Chest». And their true form wouldn’t unveil themselves until they'd been strengthened to max.
In short, the difficulty to acquire this job was sky high! It was truly a surprise that Hyudo had managed to unlock it. Just how? was suspenseful.
Though Hyudo's current form was such a far cry that he instead felt like a product of half-man and half-cyborg. Except the chanical arm he had received from his ho, there was no second chanical equipnt on his body. Well, such was the woes of first years, for they're the king of mismatched gears.
"You're wide open. «Mana Bullet»!"
"Aaaargh!"
Hyudo had let down his guard, and was imdiately blasted away from Shizu's shot, his body tumbling on the floor. Karua, anwhile, worked on the nearby guardian monsters, culling their numbers.
One was a master of agility, the other held an expertise in long-ranged assault. Poor Hyudo. He couldn't have t another duo who had such an obvious advantage over him. Surely, he could have fared better had he at least had a heavy firepower weapon, but alas.
anwhile, Karua and Shizu's assault had already depleted a good number of guardian monsters.
In their confrontation, Hyudo wasn't alone. He had two more mbers rushing toward to help him, but much to their dismay, neither had an effective way to contain the two troublemakers. As if that wasn't enough, they accidentally stepped on landmines Shizu had planted, and it blew them away.
Hyudo himself had barely avoided damage, and used his self-heal skill «Repair» to recover from damage. However the rest of mbers weren;t so fortunate. They didn't even get a chance to throw an opening attack before they're eliminated.
Hyudo felt a chill down his spine. What a terrifying reinforcent killer duo, he thought.
Their unmatched skill had already reduced the force of Class-5 to re two people him, and the guardian monsters.
