High School Hack and Slash Chapter 104 Part 1
Cruel Words
「Itsukime doppelgänger proved to be a tougher opponent than I expected.」
It was, I guess.
You rolled out about 10 times, after all, right?
It was probably a『Mirror Image Devil (Doppelganger)』 of Miko type that boasts no lethal attack skills, so they must have clashed and slashed each other with their naginata.
We’re talking about the unathletic Shizuka here, so it must have taken her that long even if she used that authority (skills), or so I imagine.
「Yeah, well, yes. The one that came out next was a piece of cake… Or rather, it overloaded on its own and ended up self-destructing in the end.」
The cause is unknown, but it appears that Shizuka also got a second trial.
As of now, it’s an additional service exclusive for Shizuka and Seiichi.
「Yes, that’s right. A lesson was learned. That if I were to be dumped by you, Touma-san, I would most likely turn out like that.」
Shizuka, who is holding my right hand tightly, leans closer.
As far as I’m concerned, I’ll never do things like dumping Shizuka, so I want her to rest assured.
Speaking of the battle against the guardian of the realm gate, where those who pass it are smoothly emerging one after another, Mikan-senpai is in the middle of challenging it.
The rest will be the Senpais of the Craftsman class, the quartet of Mirin and the others, and me.
I thought it might be difficult for such Craftsman class Senpais to overcome this solo boss battle.
It’s not a matter of difference in class, but a matter of character and disposition.
Fighting spirit, the root instinct to keep proceeding forward even after defeating the enemy.
I think that’s not an element that’s necessarily necessary in a person.
I selfishly went and harbored the thought that perhaps tender-hearted people like the Senpais would be happier that way.
「Mikan-senpai.」
「Yes. Ehehe… I’ve broken through too, you know.」
Mikan-senpai, her face white as a sheet, drops to her knees in front of the realm gate.
「I don’t want to be left behind, after all….」
Holding Mikan-senpai, who ends up losing consciousness right after, in my arms, I carry her to the tent.
「You did great.」
I am sorry.
I underestimated the determination of the Senpais.
As I gently pat Mikan-senpai on the head, I feel that she smiles ticklishly.
◇ ◇ ◇
Looking at the state of Mikan, she knew that she would likely end up in such a state.
However, Rinko had no idea how shaken her own mind would end up being under such a situation.
Perhaps it was only natural.
After all, for nearly half a year, their minds had always been protected from loneliness.
Once she lost that connection, the state she had taken for granted, just how fragile of a mind she would be left with.
Rinko was reminded of just how fragile and weak of a person she was as she crouched and trembled.
「A, ahaha…. Yup, as I thought, it’s harsh. I’ll really become unable to go on, I suppose.」
By an Armed Golem that looked like the mirror of her own Aterui, she was twisted and crushed.
If it was an instant death, it would have been better.
The pain of turning into a lump of flesh until she died brought back her recollections about the compulsory raid quest where her heart was broken.
It was a memory of when she was made to throw away her self-respect, her pride, her chastity, her dignity as a human being, and everything else.
What had healed such trauma was the Guild connection that made her want to protect and be protected by it.
The compulsory supplementary raid quests in which she had become a regular during her first year regular test period.
It was also an event where students who still retained the decency of the outside world were showered with merciless baptism.
In survival under this extreme situation, human’s true nature was laid bare.
Immediate resurrection (respawn) that did not sever the memories.
The fear and pain of being killed by monsters or fellow students.
Starvation and thirst where they weren’t provided even with water.
She had been made to repeat it over and over again.
Compared to that, she had come to feel that spreading her legs for boys who treated her like a public toilet, or licking their buttholes as she was ordered to were much better.
As she clung to a fugly fatso and shake her ass, at the same time, she was subjected to anal sex by turns over and over.
After refusing to do the first act and having her bodily functions broken as she raised some resistance, she was even subjected to a resetting.
It was during her first compulsory raid where she was thoroughly trained on how to skillfully suck and stroke a penis, how to shake her ass, and how to accept things.
During the compulsory supplementary quests at the beginning of the academic year, upperclassmen who were aiming to taste such fresh prey were also getting into the mix.
They were proficient at the art of turning inexperienced girls into female pigs.
Even after the supplementary lesson were over, as if it was only natural, she began to be treated as a sexual venting tool by the boys from the same class as her who also participated in it.
This was the set pattern for girls who had been deemed to be at the bottom of the school caste.
By the time she was made to participate in the next supplementary lessons, both her front hole and butt hole had been molded into a shape that would accept penises with ease.
What was repeated there was a feast of sex, including first-year boys who had learned the arrangements.
Forgetting even the empty slogan of conquering the raid quest from the beginning, they came to participate in the supplementary lessons with preparations geared up toward sex.
The boys, who became peerless in the dungeon space during the quest, were set to be indulging in sex to the fullest for the duration of the supplementary lessons.
The boys who ended up becoming accustomed to such an unbounded state ceased their reservation even outside of the dungeon.
They turned into an enjoy group who simply pursued sex, be it in the dormitories or in the academy, without minding public gazes.
Unlike the boys, where many of them were following the monkeyfication route in such a manner, the girls were divided into two patterns.
Either they awakened to bitchhood and got addicted to sexual intercourse with boys who wished for sex, or had their mind worn away while continuing to passively accept it.
Rinko and the others, the members of Adept Workers, were a typical gathering of the latter.
Both boys and girls quickly lost sight of the option of refusing sex, one of the three greatest human desires.
It was only natural, and it was just a matter of what stance you took to accept it.
Every time the supplementary lessons were repeated, trauma was also nurtured, and the end point would be to give up.
As for heretics who could break away from the compelling force (rules) of such common sense of the academy, they either boasted a very strong mind or an abnormal one.
Rinko’s mind was by no means weak.
It was simply that it was normal.
「I’m ashamed to say it, but I may be unable to break through, I suppose. I’m truly weak-minded, aren’t I? But Mikan-chan has cleared it, so I suppose it’ll be okay even if the party that will be proceeding ahead needs a Craftsman.」
Rinko herself knew best that the words she muttered as she remained lying on the ground after being thrown out of the door, without even raising her face, were nothing but excuses for her weakness.
If she showed that she was the first to break down, the other members would also be able to give up without feeling guilty.
There should be no point for the entire Craftsman class, who numbered more than 10, to pass the 20th stratum and challenge the dungeon beyond.
They had yet to reach the current level cap, base level 100, and they could challenge it again then.
Besides, there was little significance for Craftsmen to reach a high level.
Even as they were now, they were able to contribute to the Club as a support personnel.
—All of these were excuses for herself.
Even for Touma and the others, it didn’t amount to any trouble at all.
Leveling while carrying baggage known as Craftsman class should have been a heavy burden.
That was why, when she was hugged by Touma, when she was about to give up everything and cling to him, she had cruel words told to her.
「Please don’t lose.」
She was by no means expecting some sweet consolation words.
However, they were words that were cruel enough to precisely block all escape routes.
Words that killed the resignation of the whole Guild members present there.
