ALL NOVEL The Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills Reincarnates as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO Chapter 103
103 Watching the Battle ② Aina PT
――SIDE: Ishirō Aina――
“Kyaah!! Go, go, younger brother!!”
“A student from Class A took down two people! Is this D Class’s first victory!?”
“As expected of Aina’s younger brother! Your movements are amazing!!”
“That evasion technique is insane! I would’ve definitely been cut down multiple times!!”
“Is that the Ishirō style? Ah! I just realized, Shōma-kun took down two people without a scratch!!?”
“That’s amazing!! You’re incredible!!”
“…It’s also worth considering that being too harsh on oneself can be a problem, don’t you think? He’s not excellent, is he?”
“Really, really!!”
“Aina is too harsh! —Seriously, I was completely deceived by him too!?”
“Ah”
……So?
“So, so, so, so, so… That’s right, isn’t it! …Yeah!”
“Aina…?”
My companions gazed at me with suspicious eyes. Who would have thought that Shoma had become this strong? No one had expected it! We had heard rumors about him soloing the Floor Master, but who would believe such a story?
Under overwhelming disadvantageous circumstances, he calmly avoided the enemy’s attacks, choosing to evade instead of defend. When his own attack was blocked by a support spell, he pretended to retreat, luring the enemy’s vanguard into a trap. That was cunning.
What’s more, he was a student from Class A… or was it Karyuoin? According to Maki’s story, he was a level 22 warrior. His physical strength was capable of knocking out that warrior with just one hit.
It was truly overwhelming—
As one explores longer, they come to understand that a explorer’s strength is not solely determined by their status values. No matter how high their level, if the one controlling their body lacks skill, it’s all for nothing. They may be a threat, but only to the monsters within the labyrinth, not to other explorers.
What’s crucial is coming up with the optimal solution in that moment. It’s a matter of life and death. Even experienced explorers find it difficult, but my younger brother, Shoma, had accomplished it in actual combat. And he did it with ease, without any hesitation. When did he develop such incredible skills?
In any case, this was an astonishing feat.
“But, things are tough over there, aren’t they…”
Shin’ya’s gaze fell upon the D-class students who had dropped out. They sat in front of the transfer stone, most of them unable to move due to their injuries. The teachers were carrying them on stretchers, transporting them to the infirmary one by one. The ones remaining were those with relatively light injuries.
“Most of them are D-class students.”
“It’s clear they’re being targeted.”
“What’s the current battle situation?”
“Just a minute, let me check…”
While taking out my portal, Maki opened the 1st-year class roster.
“Whoa, it’s all red.”
“What’s going on… Whoa!? This is brutal…”
“Let me see it too!”
Maki handed me the portal.
…Let’s check the 1-D class roster.
The names of those who had dropped out were listed in red. More than half of the names on the list were already in red.
② 10. [Judo Practitioner] LV.7 Segawa Mitsurou
――――――――――――――――――――
③ 06. [Shield Warrior] LV.10 Bamba Kō
③ 12. [Batter] LV.7 Suzuki Ippei

⑥ 17. [Medic] LV.2 Anai Yume
⑥ 18. [Gunman] LV.3 Kikuta Mio
There are 14 dropouts in total.
D Group has 11 survivors.
The initial circle number in the name represents the PT number they belong to, and the ☆ mark at the end indicates the PT leader. Currently, D Group has lost two leaders.
Looking at the student numbers, it seems that students with lower overall strength have been hunted down one after another. This is a cruel situation that has unfolded in just a few dozen minutes. I knew it would be brutal, but it’s still shocking.
――I used to be a member of D Group myself.
I was transferred to the current C Class due to my high grades. After that, I experienced many twists and turns, and the original B Class suffered a class collapse, resulting in a penalty demotion to C Class. By the time Kyokagekawa Mei became the new class leader, I had already become a member of B Class.
I was lucky, I suppose.
But I didn’t always have it easy.
I’ve had my share of bitter experiences. That’s why I can’t help but sympathize with the current situation of 1-D……!
“Currently, A Class has +60 RP, B Class has +60 RP, and C Class has +100 RP, making C Class the temporary leader.”
“D Group only has the 20 RP earned by Shouma-kun, right?”
“Wait, didn’t that angel-like guy just become the PT leader? D Group has +60 RP.”
“Huh? Did they challenge the competition with a two-man team (Two-Man Cell)?”
“The registration was for a four-man team (Four-Man Cell). Maybe they drifted apart from their other teammates.”
“…Could it be that they deliberately separated from their teammates to flirt with each other?”
“Maki, you love talking about this kind of stuff, don’t you?”
“I don’t dislike any girls, okay? Hey, Aina?”
“D-don’t involve me in this conversation!”
It’s Tenshi Juuka and Karyuukaiin, after all.
I thought there was something suspicious about them, but I never expected such a relationship… How disgusting! Flirting with each other in a sacred battle… Ah, I’ll have to rewatch the competition video later…!!
“We can’t afford to chat right now!”
“Huh? Ah!”
“Is D Group’s ace? That’s bad, isn’t it?”
“――Ah!!”
As I looked, the D Group PT that was fighting C Group was struggling.
It was the PT that Feng Hongyu belonged to!
The leader was supposed to be a student named Aiba Soushirou.
“The opponent is a lower-ranked PT from C Group.”
“D Group’s top is struggling against C Group’s bottom, so it’s no wonder they can’t win…”
“Wait! Ah!!”
“What? …Whoa!!”
Maki pointed to a shocking sight――
