Everyone finishes choosing their items, and the bonus area switches to a white space. The floating blackboard is still there.
The students are lined up in the same way as before, with desks and chairs arranged in the order they joined.
Originally, there are seven people per column in six rows, but now it’s filled in from the side, with me, Senyuu, Shouko, Shion, Shinpo, and Roa.
Behind me, the Dream World, Shoubu, and Illusion Middle continue in a row.
Luminous-sensei’s seat is missing because she’s not a student.
In place of her, a pipe chair is set up next to the blackboard, and she seems to have been called here in that position. Mysterious blackboard, dancing letters. ‘The ninth day has ended.’
‘As advertised, the party competition event A will be held from the tenth day onward.’
‘About the party competition event A
Period—from the morning of the tenth day after the ninth day ends until the end of all matches
Content—only parties consisting of five people are eligible to participate.
A round-robin tournament will be held among participating parties.
Reward—only the party that wins all matches will be granted the ‘return right’.’
This much is the same as what I heard last time.
A party with five members is required to participate.
Fifteen minutes of preparation time will be given from the moment you wake up.
If you do not wish to participate, you can temporarily disband the party or have members leave.
If you create a new party within the preparation time and it consists of five members, you will be forced to participate.
“I see, only those who form a five-member party within the preparation time can participate.”
I was thinking of asking about how to choose members when there are more than five, but it seems they adjust it this way.
“Mm. If you don’t want to participate, you can temporarily disband the party, which is fair.”
Indeed, it’s difficult if the event involves conflicts between transferers and drags in those who don’t want to be involved.
Those who don’t want to participate can avoid it.
‘Rules for Party Competition Event A
・After the preparation time ends, all participants will be transferred to the competition venue.
・After the transfer is complete, the match will begin immediately.
・A ten-minute break will be given between each match.
・Two parties will participate in each match.
・Each party will be given a “base” to defend at the start of the match.
・Only by destroying the enemy “base” or wiping out the enemy forces will you win.
”…It’s just a flag capture game.” Mugai muttered.
“From what I’ve heard, the rules don’t seem overly complicated. There are a few things that concern me, though…” Fukaho had a serious look on her face.
Indeed, there were still some things she wanted to know.
“This rule means that battles between transferers are possible. But, in the previous event, there was a penalty for ‘harming others.’ What about this time?” Qianyu asked first.
During the event to capture the light spheres, there was indeed a penalty of 365 points.
This was equivalent to a year-long coma.
Since there was a penalty for harming others last time, but this time the rules seem to encourage it, she was indeed concerned about that as well.
『During the event A period of the party competition, participants’ bodies will not actually be injured.
Damage is calculated after each match, and the accumulation of that damage will slow down your body.
Once the damage exceeds a certain amount, you will be unable to act, and you won’t be able to interfere with that match.
Total annihilation refers to all party members being rendered unable to act.』 “W-What’s going on?” Suzuki’s head is filled with question marks.
“Does this mean that instead of getting injured, our stamina will be reduced, and if we can’t move anymore, we won’t be able to interfere with that match?”
Suzuki nods in agreement with the teacher’s summary, saying, “I see. We’ll be like game characters.”
Maybe she’s gotten used to the strange phenomena from the island transfer, but normally, this wouldn’t be something to take lightly.
Well, the other members aren’t surprised either.
“By the way, the damage from each match is reset during the break, right?”
『Damage is reset after each match.』
Shouko’s question is answered immediately.
“Um, can the damage during the match be healed by Chiyu-chan’s ‘Healing Magic’?” This time it’s Shion’s question.
‘All abilities can be used without any particular restrictions.’
That makes us seem pretty advantageous.
But then again, our life on the desert island is like that too…
We can’t let our guard down, but we’re definitely in a favorable position.
“About destroying the base, what exactly do we need to do to accomplish that?”
Loa raises her hand and asks politely.
Come to think of it, she wears her school uniform when she’s summoned to this classroom.
I’m getting used to her maid outfit, so seeing her in her uniform feels rather refreshing.
‘Direct or indirect contact three times will destroy the “base.” ’
“Direct contact… or throwing a rock and hitting it… anything like that?”
That’s probably the correct interpretation.
It also means that contact through abilities is allowed.
Once I find the enemy’s base, I can probably take care of it by dropping countless small rocks on them from above using my ‘Deployment’ ability. I need to be wary of anyone with abilities, though.
“If I participate in the event and get teleported to the arena, will the ‘Barrier’ be dispelled?” That’s right, that’s important too.
The barrier of the Dream World protects the base, but it will also be useful during the match.
However, when you participate in the event, you get teleported to the arena.
Then, you’ll be out of the range where the barrier can be maintained, and there’s a possibility that the barrier will be dispelled.
“Abilities are dispelled when the user leaves the range of their effect.” ”…I see.”
In that case, it might be better to leave someone in charge of the Dream World just in case.
If it’s me, Senyuu, Shaku, Shinpo, and the Dream World’s five of us participating.
Shion, Roa, Shoubu, Lumina, and Kagechuu will be left behind.
Since there are a lot of people who aren’t going to fight, I’m worried about what might happen in case of an emergency.
“Oh, well, Seirina, shall I take over? I can transform into a phantasm too. I don’t fight, but I think I could be useful for transportation.”
Kagechuu, who has the ‘Transformation Ability’, proposed that.
「…Yeah, if Koji’s okay with it, I’ll have Mia take her place.」 「Sure, I’m fine with that.」
Looking around, everyone nodded in agreement.
By the way, since the party has ten members, we could make two teams, but we won’t.
If multiple teams could obtain the ‘return right,’ that would be different, but this time only if a team wins all their matches.
Since there are people like Lumina who don’t like fighting, we decided it would be better to concentrate our strength in one team.
『What do you need for your daily life?』 『Sea Fish / River Fish』
As expected, even on days with event-related topics, this two-choice question still appears. ――Still, fish.
「Wait, weren’t there fish before?」
「Yeah, it’s the first day. We all chose meat on the first day, so it wasn’t added back then…」 Shion answered the question.
「Maybe items that weren’t chosen before will be split the next time they appear.」
「That’s true. Last time it was just ‘fish,’ but this time it’s split into sea and river fish.」 Deep Law nodded at my words.
「The definition of river fish is pure freshwater fish, right? In that case, there might be fewer varieties…」
Roah put a hand under her chin, looking thoughtful.
『There are some species that fit both categories.』
That was the answer from the mystery blackboard.
In the case of fish that swim in and out of rivers, it probably means they can appear in either the river or the sea.
So maybe there’s no need to think too deeply about it when choosing.
But then, votes are being cast overwhelmingly for “river fish.”
――That means there aren’t many students near the sea.
Since there’s also a monster called Arvanc in the river, it would be safer to catch fish in the sea, but it seems that many students can’t easily get to the sea.
There might even be some who have never seen the sea.
Considering the effort it takes to get to the sea, it makes sense to choose the river.
『Since the majority has been reached, voting will now be closed.』
『Starting from the tenth day, “river fish” will be placed in the environment.』
It’s good that ingredients were added instead of monsters.
But still, my mind keeps drifting toward the event with multiple ‘return rights’ at stake. ‘Starting the tenth day…’
