ALL NOVEL The Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills Reincarnates as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO Chapter 99
99: The Siege of Ishiru
So that’s the pseudo-ABYSS… a structure.
While facing the artificial labyrinth, we, lined up from Classes A to D, are overwhelmed by its grandeur. In the center of the stadium, a square magnetic field has been formed. The space, semi-transparent from the outside and distorted like a mirage, is about the size of a baseball field to the naked eye, but appearances can be deceiving.
In front, there’s a pedestal for the teleportation stone, and presumably, we’ll use that to jump inside.
“HEY! Finally, we meet, Ishiru Shoma…!”
The one who called out was a student from Class C. Black hair in a semi-long middle part. Medium build with broad shoulders. Wearing pitch-black sunglasses in the middle of the day, the inscrutable musician-like man, clad in a damaged, modified uniform, turns back towards me, heels of his platform boots clicking.
Whoa, what’s the big idea――!!
I thought there might be some kind of contact from another classroom, but the top batter is you, of all people!?
――Tsutenkaku Sazaki, the class leader of Class C.
“I’ve been wanting to meet you…… While I was bedridden, I kept imagining your face…… I’ve never been this lovesick since my first love at 12 years old……!”
Geez, you’re so passionate!?
Tsutenkaku’s eyes were bloodshot as he said such things to me, but I wasn’t happy at all!!
“So, that’s how it is…… Haha, first love, huh? You were quite precocious, weren’t you? I don’t really understand love, so can I just leave now……?”
The moment I said that, Tsutenkaku shouted “F**k!!” and strummed his electric guitar.
The earsplitting sound echoed a tempo late, causing all students outside of Class C to cover their ears.
Shut up――!!
What’s wrong with this guy――?!
I want to go home――!!
“Look!! At my Venus!! You’re the reason I couldn’t hold it for three days!! This is me!! Three days, you know!? Do you understand the meaning of this!!”
“It’s okay now, I’m holding it……”
“Sharap‼︎ Kill You Buster‼︎《Shut up, I’ll kill you, you b*stard!!》”
“Eeek……!”
What’s wrong with this guy, he’s so scary……!
Can’t you speak Japanese since you’re Japanese?!
“My sorrowful soul!! To heal my Broken Heart, I need the sacrifice of a pitiful lamb!! Rejoice, Ishizuru Shoma, tonight is party night‼︎ I’ll escort you to the underworld (Gehenna) with my followers!!”
“YEaaa――!! Rock! Rock! Rock!!”
“What’s going on with these people……?”
“Is this Class C?”
“Ugh, it’s so noisy――!!”
The students of Class D were bewildered by the Class C chant, but their voices were drowned out by the sheer volume and energy of the Class C students.
Who said Tsutenkaku was a good guy?!
This is insane, isn’t it?!
I couldn’t help but cover my head.
“――Shut up!! I’ll silence you all, you b*stards!! This is ridiculous!!”
The one who silenced the commotion was a girl from Class B, with a distinctive silver bob haircut. She had a bandage with a curse symbol on her left eye, and similar bandages on her arms and legs. Her white sailor uniform was custom-made, with a silver badge bearing the crest of the Yin-Yang Academy on the collar. Although she wasn’t tall, her presence and aura were intimidating. This was Yuran Teien Jigoku, a genius in the dark arts who was normally avoided.
――The class leader of Class B was standing right in front of me.
“You’re a piece of trash……!! You’re talking nonsense like a parrot, you idiot!! If you want to die so badly, I’ll send you to the underworld right now!!――aaah!!”
“Eeek!!”
“Y-you’re scary……!”
“What an intimidating aura you have, despite your beautiful face……!”
Yuran’s glare silenced the murmuring students of Class D. Ugh, I really dislike this type of person who’s simple yet overpowering.
But, as expected, she approached me!
“Are you Ishizuru Shoma? ……You’re quite bold, aren’t you? Because of you, two of my lovely shikigami were destroyed. Honestly, it’s unforgivable. Unforgivable, you know……This is……”
「……No, no, no! ……Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah！」
――No way！
The overwhelming pressure is making me lose my cool for the first time in a while!! If this continues, it’ll be bad!!
The left hand of Yu Lan Ting gently strokes my cheek, while the right hand presses against my heart. I’m paralyzed and can’t move.
“Are you going to make me suffer like this? There are many ways to torture me alive. You’ve made me suffer enough, Chin Kasu. Enjoy yourself, Ishizuru Shoma…”
――Hiee!! Please spare me, I’ll do anything!!
I’m on the verge of tears, but… however! The disaster is far from over!!
“Did you come to escape――”
“Hih!?”
「……Hehehe……」
The blond-haired male student, Shinji Koji, looks at me with a sly smile on his face. His attitude is terrifying. It’s already a lost cause. Even if I beg for my life, he’ll still kill me with a smile.
……I might really be killed…
I had prepared a certain item on my magic crystal terminal (portal) as insurance, but I’m not sure how much it’ll help.
In the end, it’s all about taking risks.
“――Then, let’s begin the class competition. Each class, please take out your magic crystal terminal (portal) and prepare for transfer.”
The teacher of Class A declares.
I also need to make up my mind……！！
