Chapter 35: Practical Battle Class

“I felt something unpleasant here, what were you guys talking about?”

“Nothing, we were just talking about how there are so many beauties in our class.”

I tried to answer her naturally.

“Is that so, I kinda got a bad vibe from you though, yeah definitely you.”

You don’t have to say it twice... I was just thinking about your washing board. Perhaps she’s conscious about this?

“There it is again.... Where are you looking at!?”

Thinking about it, the same thing happened in the game right? After this Takioto Kousuke will blurt out his thoughts and got beaten to a pulp by her in the mock battle.

When I was thinking about that, Katrina approached me with a smile. She gripped hard on my shoulders.

“Hmm, if you have something to say then say it.”

“Ouch, Ouchhh.”

If it’s the game then Takioto Kousuke might already spill it but I am not an idiot. Saying that to her would be rude right? Who would honestly say something like that to her face when we just recently met.

Moreover, I have already experienced working as a member of society, I can read the mood, okay? Understanding what people are thinking is like eating breakfast for me.

In the first place if you work in a company and can’t even work with people’s moods then aren’t you already a liability to your company?

“I see.”

Katrina let go and laugh.

“Sorry, seem like I was a little paranoid.”

I smiled while fixing my collar.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

So easy, as expected of the easy mob. Leave it to me, the gentleman(eroge player) to choose the best option to avoid such an unnecessary event. Even if it is the event I encounter for the first time I still can perfectly evade it. Wahahahahaha

When I was laughing in my mind, Katrina suddenly rolled her shoulders.

“Aah, It’s such a pain.... My chest is so big it made my shoulder stiff.”

I involuntarily shifted my gaze.

“Pfft, Nice joke!! There’s nothing there right!”

When my sanity returned, it was already too late. I can feel her anger..... No, that’s her killing intent coiling around me.

“........Shit, It’s a trap.”

Her joke was so funny I ended up retorting.

“Trap, my ass. I know TOOOOO well what you were thinking. Hey, you ready to say your last prayer yet?”

Should I run or should I use Iori as a shield? When I was hesitating, the teacher enters the room.

“We are starting.”

Oh, are you my messiah?

A hand grabbed my shoulder. Slender fingers and well-polished nails, it’s clearly her hand. But this time she didn’t put any strength into it. Instead, she channeled it with magic power. My cold sweat is pouring

“Takioto, you know what a mock battle is?.......you understand what I mean right?”

No, I do not.

Ludi who was beside her is glancing at me but I have to walk away with Katrina while the others guys can do nothing but watch.

Iori, orange and bangs can’t move from their spot. Seem like I was not the only one who received her killing intent.

“So it is really a washing board, huh.”

The other guys didn’t open their mouths. She got a hell of an ear after all. Ah, it’s alright, the word washing board is already written all over your face.

“G, Good luck.”

Iori said with a look of pity.

——————————————–

Katrina, one of the main heroines is a close-range fighter. She is a character that has a good attack power, good defense and decent evasion, a balance type character that even a beginner can use well. She also excels at learning new magics and skills, she is viable for every fight from the first boss to the last and even hidden boss in append disc. She still needs other characters to follow up for her in case of a bad match up though.

“You ready?”

Now then, even if she’s a powerful character it doesn’t mean that she is strong from the start. Because she is one of the first characters to join the party (she will join after the first 2 – 3 dialogue choices), her starting stats are low. To me who can already control my stole to a certain extent, I can’t imagine myself losing to her. In the first place considering my battling style she already looks like a sitting duck to me. I even know of her every moves so there’s no way I could lose.

“Oh, gimme a minute.”

Saying so I started considering which weapon I will be using. Sword, spear, cudgel..... Well, I haven’t been focusing on weapon training so it wouldn’t make any difference though. Come to think of it, I have been doing nothing but stole training huh.

Let’s just choose the cudgel since it seems somehow useable just by swinging it around. There’s a proper way to use it though.

I let Katrina know that I’m ready. Seem like she picked a sword huh. Well, It’s her specialty so I kinda already expected it.

Now, let’s discuss the main question. Is there any meaning for me to win here?

In the game, Takioto Kousuke had a mock battle against her. I don’t really care about this part because after I lost to her Iori the protagonist will come up against her next and win. She will then develop a one-sided rivalry with him and they will gradually grow closer to each other.

The protagonist will grow stronger from the experience and it is one of the events to capture Katrina, I can’t afford to win here. Moreover, Katrina is one of my favorite characters, I want her to find happiness with the protagonist.

Thus, I will seal my stole for this fight. I don’t know how to use cudgel(the same applied to both sword and spear) so I will probably lose immediately because of my weird habit to use my stole in battle huh.

I took off my stole and approach her. Ludi seems like she wants to complain about something with her eyes but I will pretend not to see that.

I firmly grasped the cudgel and stare at Katrina.

I even couldn’t call what happened next a public execution.
