The Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills Reincarnates as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO Chapter 95
95 Strategy Meeting①
Well, what’s next…?
After receiving the explanation from Kageyama, I watched the restless D-class students and thought deeply to myself.
According to Kageyama, we had to enter the venue in an hour, and we didn’t have time to come up with a difficult strategy.
However, we had to decide on a basic plan at least. Honestly, it was a pain, but with everyone’s gazes on me, I had no choice but to move.
Really, being the class leader is not my thing.
I let out a sigh and turned to face everyone.
“Uh… Does anyone have a strategy?”
“That’s the class leader’s job, isn’t it!?”
said Isogai, who was getting heated up.
This guy’s like a instant hot water bottle.
“Not now, let’s just come up with something. If it sounds good, I’ll adopt it.”
“K…!”
“We should aim for the class leader! Crush their head and win with a bang!! That’s the only way!!”
Suzuki, who’s like a stubborn mule, suggested aiming for the class leader. I understand what he wants to say, but…
“That’s difficult, as I said earlier! Are you going to waste your precious battle power on a reckless gamble!? “
“But we’re inferior in overall battle power, so we have no choice but to take a risk! If we just hide, we’ll get picked off one by one!”
“There’s some logic to what the servant says. We can’t just sit and wait for death at the Warrior’s Road! I approve of the aggressive strategy!”
Ohohoho, Takezou Musha laughed loudly. This triggered more students to agree with Suzuki’s proposal. Although still a minority, there were students who wanted to take a gamble on a single reversal.
“Even if we can’t become class leaders, we can aim to be individual PT leaders, right?”
Aiba raised his hand, proposing a new strategy.
“Let’s focus multiple PTs on one PT and take points for sure. I think this is the best we can do right now…”
“Umu, that’s realistic!”
“I agree with Soji’s proposal too!”
Although the aggressive strategy remained unchanged, Aiba’s plan made Suzuki’s proposal more realistic. The atmosphere had changed, and now most students supported this plan.
“Does anyone else have an opinion? You, Yoshikawa, don’t seem to agree with either proposal?”
I prompted, and Yoshikawa, who had been deep in thought, shared her opinion.
“…I think we should prioritize defense.”
“Yoshikawa-san?”
“Can we really create a situation where we’re at an advantage in a one-on-many battle? Right now, we’re being targeted by other classes, so wouldn’t we be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers? I’m sorry, I’m worried…”
“No, that’s a good point.”
“Right, right! Yoshikawa-san is right! It’s dangerous to start a fight ourselves!”
Banba and Sanmatsu supported Yoshikawa’s cautious plan, which received backing from both high- and low-ranking students. This proposal created a slight ripple in the previously one-sided aggressive opinions of Class D.
“Excuse me, may I say something?”
Ubu Masaharu raised his hand. I thought he would mindlessly agree with Yoshikawa’s opinion, but it seemed he had a different idea.
“Even if we prioritize defense, we can’t avoid battles with other classes. If the enemy’s level is higher than ours, it’s easy to break our defense, right? …This supplements Yoshikawa-san’s opinion from earlier, but what about simultaneously defending and attacking?”
“Simultaneously defending and…?”
“What do you mean, Ubu?”
“In other words, let’s focus on taking down one member of the enemy PT. We don’t need to be greedy and try to take down the leader. If we can take down even one person, it’s good. The enemy’s formation will be disrupted, and they’ll be slower to chase us. A weakened enemy will be exposed to attacks from other classes. It’s all about distributing hate.”
“…Even if we defeat a normal student, the points are low, right?”
“It’s better than getting nothing. Every little bit counts. If the student we fought survives until the end, we’ll get an additional 10RP. I think we have a good chance of winning.”
The explanation from Ubu made most students in Class D gasp. This was a well-balanced strategy that combined both offense and defense. It seemed Ubu Masaharu was the master of strategic planning. Even Suzuki and Aiba, who had proposed aggressive strategies, looked convinced.
…It was decided.
“I can do it, I can do it!” I declared to everyone, looking around at the excited atmosphere.
“――Let’s forfeit.”
