High School Hack and Slash Chapter 134 Part 1
Supernatural Phenomenon
Audience seats: Live Caster
「R, right after the beginning of the match, b, beam-like something hit the audience seats! C, calm down, everyone, please calm down!」
「Yeah, err. L, let’s calm ourselves down first. It’s okay, the undead system is activated in the Colosseum. E, even if a corner of the audience seats is blown off, everyone will be back to normal with a potion. Err, yes.」
In one corner of the collapsed audience seats, there was a mixture of clouds of dust and screams.
The audiences that were caught in the collapse were a lot in number, but fortunately they were not directly hit.
The barriers laid out on the stage boasted the same durability with the event barriers of the raid era.
The beam that gouged through it like butter had blown off the base of the audience seats, a super class other world (raid) structure.
「What in the world do you think has happened here? Kome-san.」
「I don’t know the details either. But I can only assume that some kind of attack launched by the teams battling on stage has penetrated the barriers and reached the outside of the stage.」
「My word! It is said that the barriers erected on the arena stage are speculated to be a kind of dimensional fault that is impervious to both physical and magical attacks. Does that mean there exists an offensive means capable of destroying them?」
「To begin with, we make use of these barriers while still not grasping under what theory they are generated and how much energy they can withstand, after all.」
「The flames of the explosions on the stage seem to have subsided. The decision of the judging panel is— to continue, is it! The first-aid team is on its way to the audience seats.」
「Yeah, yes. For argument’s sake, even if it was the aftermath of an attack fired by the team on the stage, it is by no means against the rules.」
「However, if you direct such a high-powered attack against a human opponent, don’t you think that opponent would end up being vaporized?」
「Yeah, I guess not even the form would remain.」
The spectator area, where at one point panic was close to breaking out, was covered in an excited murmur.
Them harboring lack of alertness even to accidents they might have been involved in was probably the adverse effect of their familiarity with the extreme conditions known as the dungeon.
Rather than such a trivial matter, they were more excited by the flashy and high-powered attack that was close to blowing them away.
「If I my eyes don’t deceive me, the『beam-like thing』 was released at the North Wind Gate stage. Don’t tell me, is this a new skill of the Hero?! Is this generation’s Hero a monster?!」
「Each stage is, err, yes, there seem to be some players who were so surprised that they got weak on the knees, but there seems to be no one who has evaporated and disappeared. As expected, the North Wind Gate stage in question must have been the center of the blast. Most of the members were blown away and… T, that is….」
The boy standing in the center of the North Wind Gate stage, staggering, was one of the male members of the Adept Orders.
Covering his face with his hands, he clearly showed the appearance of someone suffering from serious damage.
His comrade, the other male member, approached him carelessly, but without a word, he was sent flying by the staggering boy.
Receiving a clean hit on the side of his face, the boy bounced on the floor and ceased to even make a twitch.
「T, that’s, what a violent act of discipline!」
「It is an obvious act of mounting. I feel like I can hear him saying: You’re a hundred years too early to worry about this great me.」
「And then, and then, the beginning of public rape! As if to say: you are mine; he sets onto subjecting him to a relentless public rape!」
「Yeah, yes. There is no doubt that this is a strategy to make a display of it to the audience. An appeal of ownership, in other words, I guess it would come down to that.」
「In the presence of the public! In front of the Hero! And then, in front of us Fujoshi, what a serviceable spirit it is! Such tyranny is unforg… Yes! Of course, let’s forgive it! Even if God or the academy doesn’t forgive it, we will!」
「H, however… that, don’t tell me! Does that mean he is going to use it, here?! The phenomenon transcendence armament『Absolute Penetration Manhood (Over-Greed Gear)』.」
「Not only a uniform, even from beyond an armor! There’s no one he can’t penetrate!」
「Yeah, yeah, yes. I guess this will be the clincher. A perfect finishing hold.」
「And then, and theeen! Oh my word! He’s not satisfied yet, he’s heading straight to the Hero!」
「This is unmistakably an assertion of precedence. An action along the lines of engraving it into his body that he ultimately is the number two, no more than someone of a mistress position.」
「Oh my word! His sexual desire is truly bottomless!!!」

Stage: 『North Wind Gate (Boreas)』
「Kuh….」
The moment I fired a beam from my eyes, I ended up receiving an eye-blinding attack on a counter.
I didn’t intend to let my guard down, but I guess this, too, is one of the skills of a Hero.
What a guy.
As expected, he’s not an opponent against whom you can think about holding back.
Since both of my hands were occupied with weapons, I tried shooting a beam from my eyes without any prior practice, but my aim ended up being more off than I had expected.
I guess I should have loaded my spirits into the『The Ripper (Bhaudhara)』 and thrown it at him, huh.
No, calm down.
My vision is crushed, so I have to mobilize all my remaining senses to perceive the surrounding presence.
But even my sense of smell can only detect the smell of burning and ozone, and my sense of hearing is ringing with a screeching, numbing distant rumbling.
Collecting myself and focusing my nerves, I perceive the movement of the air with my skin.
「— There you are!」
A solid feedback on my right fist as I swing it out.
And then comes a relentless pursuit.
Using either『The Ripper (Bhaudhara)』 or the『Gaki Lord War Casket (Over-Greed Gear)』 will easily end up being an overkill, so I can’t use them in the current situation.
No, I guess smacking them with shield-mode Gaki Lord War Casket is a Yes, huh.
For the being, I proceed to smash the stage in the direction where I blew him off (probably) with the Gaki Lord War Casket one after another.
Image-wise, it’s like playing whack-a-mole.
Good graciousness, what a shoddy stage it is.
The crushed stones underfoot sure are in the way.
Well, whatever, if I smash all of it, I bet the enemy will be smashed, too.
Reaffirming my grip on the Bhaudhara, along with my spirits, I load it with crackles.
『—Tou, ma… san, Touma-san. Calm down, please calm down!」
Shizuka’s voice, which is echoing from a place that seems so far away and yet so close, is also becoming audible to my ears, which are slowly recovering.
The sight of the arena is returning to my vision, which has been seared by the white flash.
While my senses were sealed by the debuff, a rather intense battle seems to have unfolded.
The stage is scorched and deeply gouged, pretty much half destroyed.
As for me, getting all worked up about things alone, I’ve only smashed my underfoot a little bit.
Talk about unsightly.
I can’t face Shizuka and Mikan-senpai who are cursing loudly from the reserve seats.
「Seiichi… Kuh, for a man of your caliber to…」
I run up to Seiichi, who is collapsed on the stage.
However, there is no damage-like scar of damage.
It’s as if he has gone down after receiving a one-punch blow to the face.
Yeah, but you can rest assured.
I will avenge you.
Raising overhead the Bhaudhara, which is in the process of being charged, I head towards the Hero Group who are sitting on the stage, almost all of them unscathed.
Now, feel free to stand up and come at me.
It’s the beginning of round two.
