Baka and Test: Love, misery and hope Part 5
"Hey guys" Aiko greeted when she and Class A, with bandages and gauzes some all over their body, arrived at their seats in the Battlefield Arena, sitting next to Akihisa and his friends, "I can't believe that Class B put a fight against us."
"I know" Yuji said in astonishment, "You guys made a good fight against them. That's a good strategy you got there Yuki."
"It was nothing" Yuki said sheepishly, "Besides; Kyoji made a dirty trick against us Class A. That should teach them a lesson, those fools."
"How do I do Yuji" Shoko piped in.
He flinched. "You did great Shoko" Yuji said bluntly.
"Hey look" Akihisa called, "It looks like the ruins and the mess you've made is disappearing and going back into an empty space."
He was right: The ruins and the destruction left by the previous battle between two classes is vanishing, bit by bit and reverting to its original plain space.
"Students" announced the principal, "I hope you enjoy the battle between Class A and Class B and let us proceed to the match. I present to you: Class C and Class D!"
Both classes emerged from the entrance, walking dignifying at the cheering spectators.
"Now let's roll the roulette!" she shouted.
The screen appears at the huge speakers and the three columns, with different battle style, subject and location, are now being randomized. A few seconds later, it stops and shows: TARGET ELIMINATION, LANGUAGE, CITY (URBAN).
"I will know explain the rules of TARGET ELIMINATION" the principal said, "When the screen randomly shows each name of a member of the class, that class has to protect that student at all cost. It then changes every 10 minutes, each student in different classes unless that student is eliminated and the process is repeated. For the opposing group, you'll have to eliminate the target. Their avatars can be reviving in 5 minutes. The class who has the highest score wins in 60 minutes will proceed to go up the ladder. The battle between Class E and Class F will begin shortly after the battle.
"MATCH START!" Ironman yelled.
The Grounds of the Summoners changed its field once again: instead of ruins, there are short buildings and is like a typical town except its empty. The combatants of each class, distance from each other, waited for the member from their class or their target to eliminate on the screen. Once the student, who happens to be in Class D, appeared, they immediately protected him while Class C prepares to eliminate their target.
Genji Hiraga, the Leader of Class D, tells his allies to protect their client. But Yuka Kuyama, the Leader of Class C, encourages the Joes to attack their target. It was a long battle that took 5 minutes before their target has been eliminated herself.
1 point for Class C and 50 minutes left. They retreated to their base and waited for the screen to tell which student from each class to protect or to eliminate.
It's been 50 minutes when the battle started and both classes are now tallied and, in less than 5 minutes, the match will end. When the screen shows the picture of Yuka, Class D starts to charge at her quickly. The defendants of Yuka blocked them with the help of a timely arrival of other Class C to act as garrison units. But they will not lose for Genji, with his determination on fire, manages to eliminate her. Class D won as the timer has reached to 0.
"It looks like Hiraga won like Yuko did previously" Kubo remarked.
"T'was his determination along with his fellow classmates won the battle" Hideyoshi commented.
Before Ironman tells that Class D won, Genji shook hands with Yuka when she was sulking in defeat. It was a sign of respect that he did. Class C did not mock her but instead, they too shook hands with Class D. It was another sign of honour that they did.
"Not bad Hiraga" Yuji said.
"The winners are Class D" Ironman announced.
He then approaches to Yuka, telling her that she and the students of Class C will have remedial class. Everyone nodded and walked away, as if they were expected that they have one.
"Those who are to battle at the next match please proceed to the Ground of the Summoners and be prepared" reminded one of the teachers.
"Alright everyone" Yuji said, "You heard the teacher said. Let's go!"
Class F cheered.
"Hey Muttsulini" Aiko called, "Here's good luck charm."
"I have no time to-" Muttsulini said but his nose bleeding antics interrupted him, for she raised her skirt in front of him.
"I have a good luck charm for you too Yuji" Shoko said quietly.
"What is it now-?" Yuji asked but his sentenced was cut short when she kissed him gently in the cheek.
Yuji was dazed a little bit. "Thanks" he muttered blankly.
"I've got it on video camera" Aiko said gleefully, showing the video camera and playing the scene over and over again.
"Good work Aiko" Shoko remarked.
She gave her thumbs up. "No prob" Aiko replied.
Yuji sighed regretfully.
"Come on Yuji" Akihisa said, "There is no time for to sulk, let's go!"
"Alright, alright" he said annoyingly.
By the time Class E and Class F arrived, everything turned white.
The battle between Class C and Class C is over. But Akihisa and Class F will now face Class E in the final match. Will they win? Find out at the next Baka and Test: Love, misery and hope!
