High School Hack and Slash Chapter 168 Part 2

The 『Hero Group』 party, headed by Kazuto, had been keeping the group together as they steadily increased the number of followers.

The fact that Kazuto was naturally taking the role of the leader of the group, in which upperclassmen were also mixed, was due in large part to the Name Value of the 『Hero』 class.

Kazuto himself had also been acting as someone standing at the top, and an 『air』 had been fostered in which everyone around him naturally accepted it.

In general, this was probably the ability called charisma.

「Good graciousness, geez. Do something about it, Kazuto~」

Mii, who had her hands on her hips, pressed their leader.

The members of Hero Group who participated in the 『Onigokko』 quest this time was eight in number.

The boys were Kazuto the 『Saint』, a second step class of the Hero branching, Takeshi the 『Gladiator』, a third step class of the Fighter branching, and Kotarou the 『Jingikan』, a third step class of the Arts User branching.

The girls were Sena the 『Sailor』, a rare second step class of the Thief branching, Shiho the 『Librarian』, a second step class of the Officer branching, Yayoi the 『Knight』, a second step class of the Fighter branching, Mii the 『Illusion User (Sorcerer)』, a second step class of the Arts User branching, and Nanami the 『Samurai』, a second step class of the Fighter branching.

Even if one were to evaluate them based on the level average of the students at the academy, they fell well into the category of powerhouses.

Reaching class change in their first year, second step class in their second year, and third step class in their third year was the exemplary growth (Elite Route).

If they could reach the third step class, they would unconditionally meet the graduation requirements, and even if they were stuck at the second step class, they would be treated as powerhouses.

Beyond that point, there was a barrier called the 『New World Trial』, and those who managed to reach the fourth step class were limited to a handful of high-ranked elites.

It was an ordeal that boasted such a high degree of difficulty for the ordinary people, but a subterfuge-ish conquest method had been discovered.

And the 『Onigokko』 held in the extreme class other world (raid) was a quest that could be used for that subterfuge.

Among the students who participated in the quest that was not for supplementary lessons, there were also some who were aiming for this subterfuge.

The overly irregular idiots who just happened to get caught up in it were not even worth counting.

「It doesn’t really matter, does it? Give them some services.」

Their leader, Kazuto, leaned against the wall.

Putting his hand on the head of the girl sitting in front of him, he took a look at the base camp.

In addition to their own party, the rabbles that had drawn closer to them were also messing around as they pleased.

He would not do anything to stop them.

As opposed to dominating them through discipline, inciting and guiding their desires was his way of doing things.

「Eh~. I’m not that cheap, though~.」

「Umm, hey… S, stop it please. No!」

Behind Mii, whose lips were pouting, Nanami was twisting her body around as she got embraced by an unfamiliar boy from behind.

The space that had become abnormal through gradual erosion, was dominated by an animalistic air.

The people of common sense who normally could read the air were the first to turn into animals.

At the end of the day, such people were MOBs who abandoned themselves and simply got swept away by the majority.

They easily stepped over the line and joined the ranks of animals.

「No way… No, stop it.」

Compared to the boys in the camp, the number of the girls was simply lacking.

And then, their leader, Kazuto, did not monopolize them, be they classmates or comrades.

As the top figure, he tasted the cream of the crop and shared it with his followers as well.

No one would gather under the kinds of top figures who would think about monopolization here.

People gathered because there was benefit, and a group eventually turned into an organization.

「Don’t rub it against me… Hyaa, d, don’t inse… Nghh.」

The boy who was embracing Nanami from behind and rubbing his hips against her put his erect penis inside her skirt.

Before she knew it, the penis, which had been moving back and forth between her bare thighs, had burrowed into Nanami’s womb, who had gotten too familiar with the act known as sex.

Even among the members of Hero Group, Nanami was not a particularly proactive one.

Although she showed some acts of resistance, she was beginning to be nicely devoured by the boy who embraced her from behind.

On the other hand, Mii, who had a little devilish S element to her, was licking her lips as she treated the boy in a poor manner.

「C’mon~, if you want to have sex with me, lick it more carefully. If you make feel pain, I’m going to step on this thing real hard, okay?」

「Good graciousness, both of you… What’s the matter? Just so you know, I refuse.」

「I have no intention to get involved with the mess.」

As Yayoi crossed her arms and gave him a cold look, Seiichi waved his hand and ignored her.

As it was, he called out to Kazuto, who was standing by the wall with his arms crossed.

「While you guys are fucking around, I’ve taken a quick look around.」

「Yeah. That’s a great help, Seiichi-kun.」

Kazuto, still making the girl whose name he did not even know suck on him, sat down on a rock casually.

「In the coastal area, there were only about a number of onis and a number of students roaming about. Just in case, I also found a river from which we could get drinkable water, but a little further upstream there was a village of onis.」

Seiichi, who had been out scouting the surrounding area, gave a brief description of the situation in the surroundings.

The surrounding area was a rocky area and more suitable for a campsite than a sandy beach.

The number of onis doing human hunting was also small.

「I see. Are the demons wandering around as expected 『Man Oni』?」

「Maybe. I bet even you guys could take down something on that level.」

In Seiichi’s view, man onis were no different from dungeon monsters that simply charged at you instinctively.

They were a large specimen about three meters tall.

They were physical-type monsters with power surpassing that of ogres and trolls.

They crushed boys without mercy and captured girls alive and carried them off somewhere.

He also saw some man onis who started raping the girls right then and there, so their behavior pattern was unknown.

Based on the feeling he got from lightly hunting one of them, it seemed that if it was just a single man oni, even a second step class party would be able to fight evenly against it.

In fact, Seiichi’s standards were also off, as it was on a level where they could defeat a single man oni without any problem in a party composed of third step class holders.

「The『General Oni』 that stand above those guys, was it? Looks like we need to watch out for that one.」

Their physical power was not much different from that of man onis.

However, they had acquired a skill called 『divine power』 and above all, wisdom.

Monsters that could communicate through conversation did not appear in the regular dungeon.

At least, at the academy, that was what they taught their students.

As opposed to instinct or habit, they were enemies that harbored ill will, made use of their intelligence, and knew what strategies and tactics were.

「You mean it’s an opponent we can’t beat?」

「If it comes alone, I guess there shouldn’t be any problem in hunting it down.」

That was just how a battle against an opponent with wisdom was.

Rather than a battle against monsters, perhaps it should be called an anti-personnel warfare.

「Hm. All right, thank you. As I thought, I’d very much appreciate a map of the surrounding area….」

Of course, this was not for the purpose of conquering the other world (raid) 『Onigashima』.

It was for the purpose of escaping from the onis that were hunting humans following the special quest 『Onigokko』.

Escape from the onis for the duration of the quest, such was the condition for completing the 『Onigokko』 quest.

「You have an 『Officer』 at your place, too, right? Have that guy map it out for you.」

Those with Officer-type classes, which were seen as non-combatants classes, were indispensable personnel in dungeon deep stratum as well as raid conquests.

Hero Group had also reached the stage where they realized that importance.

「In our party, Shiho was the Officer class holder, you know.」

「… Come to think of it, you’re missing some your usual members, aren’t you?」

「That’s right. Shiho and Kotarou, who should have raided in as well, ended up being sent elsewhere. It’s a bug that sometimes occur, in raids with a large number of participants, apparently.」

It was Yayoi who answered, her arms remained crossed.

「Shouldn’t there be at least a few Officer holders among those guys? If so, they can at least do some bare minimum mapping, no?」

The ones at whom Yayoi pointed with her chin were the bunch that were lazing about and engaged in an orgy.

Many of the students who were subjected to compulsory supplementary lessons were non-combatant types.

Not only Debauchee-types, but they also included Officer-types and Craftsman-types who were not blessed with party members.

「Ah. In that case, this one here’s an officer.」

Kazuto made the girl who had been burying her face between his legs raise her head.

The girl, whose tip of tongue was peeking out from her open lips, was unaware that she had been put on the topic.

With her well-featured face in a daze, she stroked the meat rod she had been licking with her fingertips.

「No one’s used this one yet, so I guess it’s just perfect. Feel free to use this one as you please. Though, I’d appreciate it if you’d map out the surrounding area while you’re at it.」

「I told you at the beginning, didn’t I? My comrades have gotten separated, too. I’m sorry, but I’m gonna put regrouping as my top priority.」

「Hmm… Even if you say so, you guys haven’t made any sorts of preparation at all, have you?」

Yayoi stood in front of Seiichi, who turned on his heel.

「The time limit for the Onigokko is twenty-four hours from 12 AM on New Year’s Day. In other words, you will need ten days’ worth of living necessities in internal time. If you act together with us, we can share our spare supplies with you.」

Seiichi, having his path blocked, sported an annoyed look on his face.

Even if there was returning from death, starving to death would be the respawn accompanied by the most suffering.

He had a feeling that if he could meet up with Touma, they would manage somehow or another, but at the moment he had no leads to finding him.

And then, Subaru aside, it was obvious to him that Touma would be moving around from one place to another, without a doubt.

He had a feeling that the encounter rate would be the same regardless of whether he went to look for him or stayed there.

「… Well, fine. I’ll keep you company for a while.」
