High School Girl Who Buys Trouble and Her Sensei (2) - 13

-KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

 

 

"Wh-What was that?!"

 

 

Gunshots and explosions could be heard all over the city, and Yuuka was horrified.

What is it, you ask? It's the chaos caused by the absence of the Student Council President!

 

 

"Why do we have to fight these thugs?!"

 

 

Why, you ask? Because Sensei needs to proceed with the tutorial and find the Shittim Chest!!

 

 

"To regain control of the Sanctum Tower, we need to retake that club room..."

 

 

Well said, Chinatsu!

 

 

"I heard that but...! I'm also a student council member who's treated with some respect at my school! Why do I have to..."

 

 

While Yuuka was complaining about her current situation, some delinquents appeared from across the street and aimed their guns at us.

 

 

"Ah, Yuuka-san! In front! In front!"

 

 

-Bang bang bang bang bang!

 

 

Oh, dear. Even though I warned her.

In the end, just like in the prologue's story, Yuuka took all the bullets fired by the delinquents.

 

 

"Ouch, it hurts!! It hurts!! These guys are using illegal *JHP bullets?!"

*JHP: Jacketed Hollow Point bullets, which are regular bullets covered with a copper jacket and have grooves that cause the bullet to expand upon impact, increasing the damage.

 

 

"Take cover, Yuuka. And hollow point bullets aren't exactly designated as illegal."

 

 

"They're illegal in our school from now on! They leave scars!"

 

 

As Hasumi said, Yuuka hid behind a concrete barricade and answered irritably.

But come to think of it, can a student council really ban things like that on their own?

 

 

"I-I know that much! You don't have to point out every little thing!"

 

 

Oops, did I accidentally say that out loud?

 

 

"The important thing to note is that we have Sensei with us. Protecting Sensei is our top priority. Retaking that building comes after that."

 

 

"Hasumi-san is right. Sensei came from a place outside of Kivotos... Unlike us, even a single bullet could be life-threatening for him. Please keep that in mind!"

 

 

After hearing Chinatsu's words, I looked at Sensei.

...Yes, that's how it would be for me normally. In fact, I did die from a single bullet.

But I can't die from a single bullet anymore. But Sensei is different.

Living in Kivotos, I had come to take such an absurdity for granted, but I reminded myself of it once again and steeled my resolve.

 

 

"...Sensei is a civilian, so please don't go out in front. This is a battlefield."

 

 

"I'll take command. Leave it to me."

 

 

"...Yes?"

 

 

Oops, I think I just stole Yuuka's line.

But she probably doesn't even know that...

 

 

...Oh well. What's so important about the original lines anyway?

 

 

At Sensei's words to take command, the other students were puzzled but decided to follow him since he was Sensei.

But I know Sensei's commanding ability, so... I can trust him.

 

 

"Then, I'll trust you. Please take care of us, Sensei."

 

 

"Yeah. Take care of us."

 

 

"Alright, let's go!"

 

 

We each took our guns and followed Sensei's command to break through the delinquents and make our way.

 

 

 

*

 

 

 

To put it simply, Sensei's command was easy to understand, efficient, and skillful.

Of course, we were only dealing with small-fry delinquents, but even with that small difference, I could feel Sensei's commanding ability.

Sorry, Miyako, but I'm sure that Miyako's tactical command ability can't match Sensei's.

 

 

The other students seemed to feel this too, as they were all praising Sensei's commanding ability.

 

 

"Sensei, were you a commanding officer somewhere before coming to Kivotos?"

 

 

"No, I'm just an ordinary teacher."

 

 

No matter how I think about it, he's definitely not an ordinary teacher.

Based on my past life experience, I could see the aspect of a veteran commander who had been on the battlefield for many years in Sensei, who was calling himself ordinary.

 

 

"Well, I'll believe you for now."

 

 

As we easily defeated the delinquents and advanced along the road, we saw a place where the delinquents were particularly concentrated.

The Schale building must be in the center of that.

That means it's about time for another familiar face to show up.

 

 

"The Schale club room is just ahead!"

 

 

["We have identified the student who caused this disturbance."]

 

 

I heard Rin's radio transmission, and I unconsciously said the name.

 

 

"Kosaka, Wakamo..."

 

 

["As expected of an SRT student, you already know her."]

 

 

"I heard that she's from the Allied Hyakkiyako Academy and that she was captured by the SRT's 3rd platoon and sent to the Correction Bureau after committing all sorts of terrorism."

 

 

["Yes, that's correct. But as you can see, she has now escaped from the Correction Bureau and is leading this disturbance."]

 

 

"So, where is this Wakamo right now? If we catch her, this situation will be resolved, right?"

 

 

["She is currently not far from where you are now. But she is a very dangerous student, so please be careful."]

 

 

First, Sensei needs to wake up Arona and recover the authority of the Sanctum Tower, so even if we deal with Wakamo as Yuuka said, the situation won't be resolved immediately.

But in the end, we were destined to clash with Wakamo anyway.

 

 

We continued to follow Sensei's command and moved forward, and we found... a fox wearing a fox mask.

 

 

"Discovered the leader of the disturbance! Responding!"

 

 

Anyway, Wakamo will run away after doing her thing. So we can just respond appropriately.

Well, I'm probably the only one who knows this fact right now.

 

 

But it seems that was just my own delusion.

 

 

"...That uniform, there was one of the Student Council President's hunting dogs... Hehehehe, this is a good opportunity, so let's relieve some stress, shall we?"

 

 

"Huh? M-Me?"

 

 

Wakamo's atmosphere, which had been relaxed until just a moment ago, suddenly changed 180 degrees when she saw me.

Why?! Why are you only doing this to me?!

 

 

"...! Be careful!"

 

 

Hasumi, who had been wary of Wakamo, must have noticed the change as well, as she urgently warned me.

 

 

"I won't let you escape!"

 

 

-Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

 

 

Wakamo persistently aimed only at me and fired sharp shots.

My gun was too heavy for immediate response, so I couldn't even think of counterattacking and had no choice but to run around to avoid Wakamo's shots.

 

 

Wait, wasn't that her EX skill earlier?! Isn't it too much to use that just to catch me!

And it's a bolt-action rifle! How can she shoot that fast!

 

 

"Kyaaa! Kyaaaa!"

 

 

["C-Calm down and hide behind a cover!"]

 

 

I heard Sensei's instructions over the radio as I was running around in fear.

 

 

"Ugh, hic, why are you only doing this to me..."

 

 

["The other students should focus on covering so that Wakamo can't aim at her! And... w-what was your name again?"]

 

 

Even Sensei is being too much in this situation! Please remember my name!

Of course, I didn't introduce myself on purpose, but still, it's Sensei's fault!

 

 

"Ugh, N-Nanna! Youka Nanna! ...Kyaaa! The bullet went r-right over my head..."

 

 

["Okay, Nanna. I'll tell you when Wakamo is reloading, so come out of cover and counterattack then! Can you do it?"]

 

 

"I-I'll try!"

 

 

I followed Sensei's instructions and hid behind a cover, quietly observing the situation.

 

 

"Don't hide, come out quickly, you Student Council President's hunting dog! Tsk, the others are being too bothersome... Then I'll deal with them first and hunt you slowly!"

 

 

Wakamo, who had been chasing only me until now, seemed to have reached her limit, as she gave up on attacking me while I was not coming out of cover and changed her target to another student.

 

 

["Nanna, now!"]

 

 

As soon as I heard Sensei's instructions, I jumped out of cover and aimed my pre-mounted anti-tank rifle.

Please, let this one shot take her down!

 

 

-Kaboom!

 

 

"Kyaaak!"

 

 

"I hit her...!"

 

 

The 20mm bullet I fired accurately hit Wakamo's mask, causing her body to stagger greatly.

Not missing the opportunity, the other students also launched a fierce attack, and Wakamo retreated, seemingly frustrated.

 

 

"Tsk..., I'll retreat for now, but I won't miss next time...!"

 

 

And Wakamo's gaze, visible through the crack in her broken mask, was clearly directed at me, filled with killing intent.

 

 

"...Gulp."

 

 

I-I'm definitely not going outside during Valentine's Day.

 

 

"She's running away?! Chase her!"

 

 

Yuuka tried to chase after the retreating Wakamo with a frustrated expression, but Sensei and Hasumi stopped her.

 

 

"No, she also took a lot of damage from that attack, but our goal is to retake Schale first."

 

 

["Hasumi is right. Let's focus on the goal for now."]

 

 

"Ugh... We almost had her!"

 

 

Unlike the original story, Wakamo was pushed back considerably, so the reactions of the characters were clearly different.

Then, a sound that shook the ground approached us.

 

 

When we reached the entrance of the Schale building, a tank appeared.

 

 

"A Crusader Mk. I...! It's the same as our school's standard tank."

 

 

"It doesn't matter where the tank came from. Leave this to me!"

 

 

I replace the magazine of the anti-tank rifle from high-explosive to armor-piercing.

 

 

"Pierce through!!!"

 

 

I aimed the rifle above the tank, pulled the trigger, and held it until the end.

 

 

-Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

 

 

The tank's armor plates quickly became tattered from the large-caliber armor-piercing rounds.

Among them, I identified the most vulnerable part where the armor plate was heavily damaged and aimed at it.

 

 

"Finish it!"

 

 

And at that moment, I felt a strange sensation throughout my body.

 

 

"Wh-What?"

 

 

But before I could react to the strange sensation, the trigger was already pulled—

 

 

-Kaboom!

 

 

The last bullet remaining in the chamber became a battering ram filled with immense energy and rushed towards the tank.

The trajectory, which was clearly different from the usual bullets, finally destroyed the tank completely.

 

 

"Th-The tank is down!"

 

 

"Those guys are all monsters, run away!"

 

 

Seeing the shattered tank, the delinquents scattered in fear.

 

 

"Did I do that just now...?"

 

 

I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard the joyful shouts of Yuuka and my other companions from behind.

Immediately after, I felt a strong sense of exhaustion from the released tension and collapsed on the spot.
