Chapter 5: Scrub~ Scrub~♪ As I approached the dejected Angelica, I could feel Yukina's gaze on me.
Starting with her, the other students began to take notice of me as well. Angelica blankly raised her head to look at me.
Those moist eyes peeking through her pink hair were damn cute.
Angelica's original character personality was fragile, making her ill-suited for combat.
"Do you remember me? We're in the same class."
"Ah… Uh…"
"Could you lend me your strength?"
"Huh…?"
Angelica let out a dazed, confused sound, clearly flustered.
"You've been struggling all alone without anyone to protect you. I'll make sure you win."
"Stop bullshitting. You're the guy who's been doing nothing until now."
Ugh—I'm trying to talk to Angelica, but this extra keeps butt-in.
Then again, he's technically right, so I don't have much to say in my defense.
I was originally planning to just watch the protagonist's one-man show and take the loss.
I mean, if some shit-tier camper who stayed holed up in the base until the very end suddenly started acting all high and mighty and giving orders, I'd want to kill him too.
"Useless pieces of trash should stay out of this. I'm talking to Angelica."
"What?!"
But hey, it's not like I'm the only one trolling, right? They're trolls too.
They should have been fighting while protecting Angelica, who has high firepower, but instead, they just charged in without a tactic and got picked off one by one by Akito.
There's no need to be kind to fellow trolls.
Ignoring the fuming trolls, I looked down only at Angelica.
"I get why you wouldn't trust me, but at this rate, our loss is already decided, isn't it? You've worked so hard—why not take a gamble on me just once?"
Hmm… even as I said it, it wasn't very convincing.
I tried to mix in some cool-sounding words, but eloquence isn't really my thing.
But what does it matter? My face is the ultimate justification.
Angelica stared at me blankly before her small lips moved.
"What… do I have to do…?"
Nice. Being handsome really is the best!
"It takes you a long time to gather mana, right? How much time do you need to cast your strongest spell at maximum output?"
"…How do you know about my magic?"
I saw it in the game.
I obviously couldn't say that.
Angelica has powerful area-of-effect attacks, but because her spells take two or three turns to charge, the battles drag on when facing fodder enemies, so people rarely use her.
Usually, players just collect her H-scenes and keep her as a favorite, stick her in research, or use her specifically for boss fights where the boss summons minions.
Either that, or they change her build entirely.
I pointed a finger at the teacher in charge of us and spoke.
"I wasn't just sitting around during the test. I was observing everyone's skills and magic."
Kuh— that sounded pretty impressive.
For evaluation purposes, a bunch of screens were floating in the air in front of the teacher, showing the scene where Team B was getting ruthlessly stomped by Akito.
Angelica looked toward the teacher for a moment before turning back to me.
"40 seconds."
40 seconds… isn't that way too long?
One second is more than enough time for Akito to slit your throat. If we're talking turns, isn't that like 40 turns?
I guess the power is guaranteed to be that high, though…
"And the range?"
Since game specs and reality are different, I asked Angelica for details to confirm everything before standing up.
"Is this enough?"
The Comedy Duo had faithfully gathered motorcycles and cars.
"Why did you bring a bicycle?"
"Hey, you said to bring everything that can be ridden. Be more specific next time."
"And it's not enough. Even if it takes time, keep gathering as many as possible until the end."
"What are you actually planning to do? At least give us an explanation."
I smiled at Rio as I climbed into the driver's seat.
"What else? I'm going to crush those arrogant bastards."
Crash—!
When I kicked out the windshield and ripped it off, Angelica, who was in the passenger seat, flinched in surprise, while Rio just stared at me blankly.
"Keep checking Team A's radio and relay it to me. Contact the others and tell them to get ready to take Base A. Give the orders well, Commander."
"Uh… then, me… a loser like me in reality is an S-class commander in virtual reality?"
Look at this guy, grinning because he's so happy.
So he is aware that he's a loser.
He had zero presence in the game, but he's low-key cute.
Leaving the guy to excitedly handle the radio, I headed toward Base A.
EZ? You guys are all dead.
"Yawn~ This is so boring. If I knew it'd be like this, I wouldn't have volunteered for the defense squad."
"Looks like Team B is completely finished. I heard Base C is about to be captured too."
"Ah—the gap is so big it's not even fun."
"It's mostly thanks to Akito, though."
The students defending Base A smirked at each other.
The biggest difference between Team B and Team A was the presence of Akito as a focal point.
It wasn't just that Akito was incomparably stronger than the other students; his presence allowed Team A to move as a single unit.
Roles like the attack squad with him at the center and the base defense squad were clearly defined, and everyone trusted and followed Akito's instructions.
When Team B, where everyone moved with their own separate thoughts, clashed with Team A, which moved tactically with unity, the winner was obvious.
From the very first day of school, Akito had been making his presence known to Yggdrasil, and the students' trust in him was growing deep.
"Where are you going?"
"The bathroom. I don't know why I feel like peeing in a virtual space."
"You're not gonna piss yourself in your real body, are you?"
"Don't say something so scary."
The male student chuckled at his classmate's joke as he left the base.
The tide of victory had turned so completely that they felt comfortable leaving the defense post. It was a natural progression for them to let their guard down after not seeing combat for so long while on defense.
Finding a bathroom in a distant building, the male student whistled leisurely as he did his business.
Just then, the radio hooked to his vest crackled.
[Enemies are heading toward Base A.]
Thinking the timing was bad, the male student hurriedly tidied himself up, but he relaxed again at the next transmission.
[But… there's only two of them? They're in a car.]
Only two.
There were over ten people on defense right now.
Even if the most skilled person from Team B came, it would be enough to just focus on defense and play it safe.
If they prioritized defense, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived even if someone of Akito's caliber showed up. And as long as even one person was at the base, it couldn't be captured, so it was a pointless move.
"Is it that blonde girl again? She still hasn't learned her lesson after getting wrecked like that."
She fought well, but she wasn't enough to handle ten to fifteen people alone.
And since she was clearly a thug who looked down on others and acted tough, it felt good every time she got beaten.
Not wanting to miss such a good show, the male student quickly headed back to the base.
However, compared to the radio transmission from earlier, the base was quiet.
"What, is it over already?"
But the base in the distance looked too peaceful for a battle to have taken place.
As the student approached, a loud engine roar suddenly echoed. A car burst through a fourth-floor window of a building and plummeted toward the students gathered at the base.
The student, who had instinctively enhanced his vision with mana, saw a man and a woman in the car.
A black-haired man with a handsome but madness-filled, crazed smile, and a pink-haired woman with wide eyes, looking frantic as she gathered mana in her hands.
"Where's the bastard who was talking shit?!"
KABOOOOM—!!
Those were the man's last words.
The magic fired by the pink-haired woman hit the base, and a massive explosion erupted.
The male student was swept away by the delayed shockwave and slammed into a wall, barely managing to regain consciousness.
And the sight he beheld was a base that had been completely decimated.
"…S-Suicide attack…?"
Not only his Team A comrades, but the man and woman who had charged in were gone as well.
The car they had been in was burning fiercely, and there was no one left to guard the base.
The student watched blankly until he saw Team B students entering the base, then he frantically grabbed his radio.
"Base A has been breached!! Team B took it! Five enemies at Base A!"
[What?! How was it breached already?!]
[What the hell are you doing?! What's the point of Akito working so hard to capture points if you can't even defend one?!]
Before the student could say anything, countless radio messages blaming him flooded in.
"Phew—blew myself up nicely again."
After finishing my twelfth suicide attack, I quickly ran to where the equipment was and grabbed a radio.
They don't give you a radio by default, so it's a bit of a pain to have to grab one every time I respawn after blowing myself up.
I could feel Yukina staring at me from the side, but I didn't have time to worry about that now.
We had taken all the bases, but now we had to stop Team A from trying to reclaim them.
I have to spoon-feed them everything down to the defense; this is why I hate playing games with scrubs.
"You're seriously a madman."
"But we're winning, right?"
I grinned at Masayoshi, who was handing me a water bottle with a disgusted look on his face.
Since there are kill points too, if only Angelica and I die while taking out ten to fifteen Team A members, the trade ratio is insane.
Since it's infinite respawns, I can just keep throwing myself at them without worrying about resources or points.
My job is just to deliver Angelica and hold out until she can fire her magic.
They avoid us because they're wary of the explosion? Then the base is ours.
Caught in a perfect Catch-22, Team A was panicking and suffering consecutive losses.
"Sorry for working you so hard. Let's hang in there just a bit longer."
"Huh? Oh, thanks…"
When I handed her the water bottle I was drinking from, Angelica looked flustered and gripped it tightly with both hands.
Since it's a suicide attack, I thought she'd be repulsed, but she's holding up better than expected.
Of course, this would never work in reality, which is why the Team A radio was filled with non-stop insults directed at us.
Even the other Team B students were looking at me with awkward expressions.
Why? Is it underhanded? Cheap? Shitty?
But for people who feel that way, you guys aren't stopping me, are you? I guess you want to win.
Then shut up and just follow me, you bastards.
"Uh, what? No cars?"
"None. You smashed them all."
I only went through twelve of them.
I guess we're running low because those useless idiots drove them off at the start.
I know how to ride a motorcycle, but I'm not used to it… well, I'm enhancing my body with magic, so I'll manage somehow.
But then, how do I carry her?
"You have to keep your hands in a seal while casting, right?"
"Yes, I can't let go if I want to gather mana…"
She didn't need to feel sorry at all, but Angelica spoke cautiously as if it were her fault.
Then do I have to strap her to me?
"… …"
"Isn't this a bit much?"
As I tied Angelica to my back, back-to-back, Rio looked at us as if it were absurd.
I couldn't see well, but when I stood up, the short Angelica was dangling like a backpack with her hands and feet limp.
"No, let's do it in the front. The back is vulnerable to attacks. It's better if I take the hits instead of Angelica."
"Ooh—what a sweet guy~"
And if she faces me, instead of a suicide bomb, she can become a mobile turret firing magic behind my back.
"… …"
"I hate to say this, but I want to kill you out of pure envy."
Rio gritted his teeth as he looked at us sitting on the motorcycle.
Angelica, who was pressed against me facing forward, turned bright red and hung her head low.
Uh… this definitely wasn't my intention… but this is incredible.
Warm body heat, a fragrant scent, and large breasts that didn't match her small frame were crushed against my body.
And aren't our crotches touching right now?
Though separated by thin fabric, my cock began to grow as it pressed between her thighs.
"Uh… sorry."
"… …"
Angelica felt my hardening cock and was too flustered to say anything.
Embarrassed, Angelica tried to pull her hips back, but there was nowhere to move on the cramped seat.
I wish the belt tying us together was even tighter.
I felt like I might cause a strange misunderstanding, so I quickly started the engine.
This time, let's really give Akito a taste of his own medicine.
"Haa-ng…"
I don't have any personal grudge against Akito, but Chika is a bit annoying.
"Heuk, haa-ng—"
But is Akito an isekai protagonist like me? Why is he on his second life?
"Uu-t—"
… …
"Hey… I'm sorry, but if you keep doing that, I can't concentrate…"
"I-I'm not doing it on purpose, hng-!"
Angelica looked at me with a face that was about to cry.
I was trying my best to think about other things too, you know.
Because our dear mages had so graciously destroyed the streets, the road conditions were terrible.
Every time I sped up, the motorcycle rattled, and our pressed bodies rubbed together very stickily.
My fully erect cock poked at Angelica's lower belly every time we jolted, and her slightly parted lower lips were busy rubbing up and down against my shaft.
Feeling shame and pleasure simultaneously, I wanted to pounce on the panting Angelica right then and there, but I was holding back with indomitable willpower.
"Kyaa-ng! Ah, this… isn't… hng…"
After jumping over some rubble and landing, the recoil sent Angelica bouncing, and she let out an erotic moan.
I could clearly feel the shape of her pussy as it pressed hard against my cock.
I gritted my teeth as her pussy seemed to suck and pull at my shaft.
No. Endure it. Endure it. Endure it.
The teacher is watching everything.
If I lose my mind here, forget the base—I might actually assault Angelica.
"You cowardly bastard!! Fight fair and square!"
This is the Kamikaze you guys are so proud of, so why are you denying it?
Ah, is this not the place? This isn't actually Japan.
Fortunately, the Team A students who were attacking Base C appeared, snapping me back to my senses.
Having lost all their bases, Team A was now desperately trying to capture Base C.
"Angelica, concentrate!"
"Ah-ut! O-Okay!"
With our privates pressed together, we fought the enemy.
All I have to do is rub my cock up… no, no, no, lure the enemies as much as possible and plunge into that wet pussy…
"Aaaaagh! Come at me, all of you!!!"
I screamed as I drove, trying to fight off the worldly desires that kept trying to dominate my brain.
Angelica was still letting out faint moans but was trying her best to focus on casting, and I pushed the speed to the limit.
"Die! You piece of trash!"
I defended against Chika's magic as much as possible, protecting the motorcycle and Angelica.
I dodged the magic flying from all directions until Angelica's casting was finished.
The only saving grace was that they weren't approaching recklessly after being burned a few times.
If there were guys charging in to attack, I wouldn't have been able to hold out like this.
But you know what?
If you don't come to us, our scary Angelica's magic will go to you.
"Angelica, fire!!"
Since they weren't approaching, we didn't need to blow ourselves up.
A massive fireball erupted from Angelica's hands, causing an explosion.
Four people were taken out instantly, and Angelica bit her lip as she began casting again.
"Ahahaha! If you just stand there, you're all gonna get wrecked!!"
A few students fell for my provocation and charged.
"Akito, it's dangerous!"
"But I have to stop them!"
Yeah, yeah. Come quickly. You have to sacrifice yourself to stop us. You're the protagonist, after all.
Let's all die together.
If I can trade Angelica and myself to take out Akito and the key members, it's a huge win.
Suddenly, a massive torrent of water rose before my eyes.
It was his younger sister Shiori's magic. Seeing it in person, it was incredibly powerful.
"Angelica! Just focus on the magic!"
I shouted at Angelica and wrapped mana tightly around us as I charged into the torrent.
Swaaaa—
"Did we get him?"
"Thanks for the respawn spell!!!"
I detonated the motorcycle and used the recoil to eject us right into the middle of the enemy formation.
Oh, you're all gathered here? Then you'd better die, right?
KABOOOOM—!!
Confirming that Akito's group was caught in the explosion, I was also consumed by the flames.
I'm glad I can't really feel the pain.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the base, and I looked up at the score floating high in the sky.
We won.
There wasn't much time left, and we were ahead in points.
I had taken out Akito's main group with a suicide bomb, so even if they captured all the bases right now, we'd still win by a narrow margin.
"Hey… you actually did it, ugh—"
"Ah, move. I'm busy!"
"Wasn't that a really heartwarming moment just now?"
I pushed aside Masayoshi's face as he gave me a thumbs-up and rushed over to Rio to snatch the radio for the most important task.
"E-Z-P-Z!! You scrubs, that was so damn easy! You guys are trash at this game!! My dog could play better than you! EZ GG, EZ! EZ! Scrub~ Scrub~ Uhahaha!"
[Who are you?!]
[You're that suicide bomber bastard, aren't you?! I'm gonna kill you!]
[Does it feel good to win using such cheap tactics?! You piece of trash!]
"U mad? Why didn't you do it too then? You scrubs, the game was so easy it wasn't even fun~ Come back after you've leveled up your skills next time, you idiots~ Ahahaha!"
Satisfied with the "compliments" full of curses and insults, I threw the radio to the ground and smashed it.
"… …"
"What?"
"You really have a shitty personality."
Rio looked at me with an exasperated expression, but hey, they were the ones who started the provocations.
I have to pay them back exactly what I received.
