High School Hack and Slash Chapter 76 Part 1
Sprouts of Envy
Just because you’re entering summer vacation, it is unhealthy to disrupt your life pattern.
You ought to always be on your guard and temper yourself.
In the morning, wake up along with sunrise and train.
Saki and Otoha-senpai also participate in this early morning training.
After washing off our sweat with a hot shower, we have breakfast in the dining hall of Asagi-sou.
The only meals served at the dormitory are breakfast and dinner, even during vacations.
The school cafeteria is also open, and it seems that there are also a lot of students who go out to the student street to grab lunch.
There is also the option of borrowing the kitchen in the dining hall and cooking your own meals.
Of course, the dungeon is also open as usual, and facilities such as the purchasing department are also operating normally.
As an assignment for the specialized subjects, students must complete a certain number of dungeon dives during the summer vacation.
For those who participate in the outdoor school, the schedule period will be treated as diving.
What worries me is the party members who are in the non-supplementary lessons group.
It doesn’t matter whether I am there or not, but without Seiichi, who is in charge of scouting, and Mai, who is the cornerstone to fighting against a large number of opponents, I’m afraid of the worst case scenario.
You may say that I am being overprotective, but as expected, I prefer to challenge the dungeon with flawless arrangements.
So we’ve set a schedule with the directions of them being prudence with dungeon diving while we are in the outdoor school.
Well, it’s a considerably heavy rotation.
I hope they can go on a rampage while properly taking a rest.
「That’s fine and all, but why do I have to go along too?」
Seiichi grumbles as he yawns listlessly.
It’s still too early to get yasumiboke(sluggishness after a few days off), isn’t it?
I guess he must have stayed up all night filming his new submission video.
「We don’t know what will happen, so please accompany us.」
Shizuka in a sleeveless dress is fresh.
The only chance for me to see her in her casual outfits is when we go on private outings during vacations.
The academy uniforms are basically combat uniforms that put emphasis on their defensive power, so even if they are summer uniforms, their breathability is not that good.
The can-can hat is so summery and fashionable.
In contrast, the boys’ setups, like mine and Seiichi’s, are mostly that of jerseys.
「No, with Shizuka there, that’s already more than enough, right? It’s not like you’re going to duel or anything anyway. Or rather, why did you invite me?」
The place we are headed is outside of the academy, I don’t know if I can call it that, but it’s on student street.
The shopping district that runs from the school gate to the station has all sorts of items from daily necessities to electronics and sundries.
There are also many diners such as family restaurants and ramen shops, and the area is crowded with students not only on holidays but also after school on weekdays.
Today we’re here not for a shopping trip or a chill-out, but for a meeting of the 『Seven Deadly Sins』 group invited by Doggy-senpai.
I ended up failing to mention this during the Yakiniku Festival the other day, but I guess it would be better to explain that we have nothing to do with these classes called Seven Deadly Sins.
I tried to contact Doggy-senpai in advance, but she was busy with final tests and the end-of-term ceremony.
「If that’s the case, I’m all the more so unnecessary, aren’t I?」
「No, the misunderstanding that Doggy-senpai and the others have is probably related to our classes.」
Specifically, GR type classes that sport GP bars.
In our party, this currently applies to me, Seiichi, and Shizuka, the members of today’s outing.
Leaving Seiichi aside, before I knew it, Shizuka had acquired a GR class on her own, so I sure was surprised.
It’s of a considerably irregular class structure, and I think her 『Follower』 race has some influence on it.
Well, speaking of the meeting hosted by Doggy-senpai, perhaps we’d be able to hear some information about this unknown class, so I guess it would be worth going.
「… I have nothing to do with it, do I?」
As Seiichi turns towards me with a dubious look on his face, Shizuka and I look at each other and tilt our heads.
What is this guy talking about?
Shizuka can also peek at the information of the Interface, so she should also be able to see the GP bar above Seiichi’s head.
Just to be sure, I check Seiichi’s status.
◇

「A male student from the first year third group of Toyoashihara Academy」
◇
As expected, there are still some parts that I can’t read.
And since he’s assuming the duality of normal and GR classes, the rarity has become higher than that of baby Nue.
It’s just that, compared to Saki and Mai, the rising of his 『Oniwaban』 level is clearly slower.
Most likely, the EXP is also sucked up by the GR class.
He has the hybrid Samar feeling to him.
「The heck is that? No, no, no, wait a minute. When did I become such a class?!」
「No. In your case, Seiichi-san, rather than you becoming a new class, I believe it’s more of you obtaining a subclass.」
Not only in Seiichi’s case, but looking at the status shown in the Interface, I get the feeling that the term 「class change」 is not quite correct.
Rather than changing classes, it feels more like accumulating classes.
System-wise, even classes such as 『Fighter』 and 『Arts User』 are probably the same as those of 『Craftsman』 and 『Officer』 branching obtaining subclasses.
Seiichi, holding his head in his hands and looking up at the sky, is receiving some kind of shock.
I thought 「by any chance」, but he appears to have forgotten about the class he has obtained.
「No, no, no, wait, wait a bit, wait a sec, wait a minute please, very please. Um… I have no recollection of ever seriously doing a class change, though?」
What manner of foolishness is he spouting now?
As brazen I may be, even I would never arbitrarily tamper with my party member’s status.
I believe, it should occur after we cleared the raid quest 『Demons of the Deep』.
It must have been right around the time we started challenging the tenth stratum.
◇
「Let’s sleep for the night ―――」
「… Wait, as expected, let’s talk about it before I forget. Looking at your status, it looks like you can get a new class.」
「……」
「It’s most likely some kind of 『Apprentice』, but I can’t decipher it.」
「……」
「No, I understand your desire for strength. But I hope you’ll think it over. You might lose your archetype class like I did.」
「Geez… So noisy~.」
「Dude….」
「In fact, if you look at the Interface, you’ll see such notation achoo.」
「……」
「… I shall acknowledge your resolve. Sweet dreams, my friend.」
「… zzz.」
◇
「―――Something like that.」
「I was sleeping, wasn’t I?」
「… I should have recorded it.」
I get the feeling that Shizuka-san was sleeping.
And I’m not looking for such powerful evidence either.
「No, the me that appeared in your recollection was also sleeping, wasn’t he? Rather, he didn’t reply to you, didn’t he?!」
「I’m not going to make fun of your resolve.」
「You clearly screwed up in the middle, didn’t you?! At the crucial point!」
「Distrust is not a good thing.」
What matters is the future, not past mistakes.
By the way, speaking of the acquisition of the second GR, the overflowing EXP would have been a waste, so I decided to offer him a follow up service.
「No, you should have told me properly! I don’t need that weird consideration of yours.」
「It’s simply that there were no other options you could select. Don’t mind it.」
「I do mind, okay. Don’t try to fool me by giving off air of: I get it, so don’t say anything.」
I pacify Seiichi who grabs at me.
After all, summer vacation has just started and many excited students who want to let loose are coming to the student street.
We’re attracting quite a lot of attention.
The female students, who are surrounding us in the distance and for some reason are breathing heavily, are a little scary.
Also, I’m a bit concerned about Shizuka-san, who is breathing even more heavily, as she boots up her tablet and types devilishly.
「Haa…. It’s already a done deal, so I guess there’s nothing that can be done about it, huh.」
「Don’t be so disheartened.」
「You’re not one to say that.」
