Game Studies Club room.
Amamiya and Karina were taking the club’s third entrance exam
Amamiya, controlling the wizard Rein, uses defensive magic to protect Dragonhead (Karina) from Swordmaster (Kenmochi), who attacks from a distance with a bow and arrow.
Dragonhead was engaged in a fierce battle with Sky Music (Amane), who was still the top player and had the upper hand.
Dragonhead is a greatsword swordsman, so her number of moves and speed are inferior to those of Sky Music, who is a fighter.
“If the attack doesn’t hit me, then it’s all mine☆”
Sky Music dodged the greatsword with ease, and landed a powerful spinning kick directly at Dragon Head’s face.
A critical hit effect is applied, and Dragon Head’s huge body flies through the air.
“It was only a critical hit!”
Dragon Head quickly repositioned itself and rushed at Sky Music.
At the same time, behind her, Rein activates a grant magic, which boosts Dragon Head’s movement speed and gives Sky Music a critical hit in return.
“Is it a buff that increases movement speed? Amami-kyun…”
Amane smirked as she tapped her keyboard.
Amane, whose physical strength was reduced by one-third of her strength from the attack, distanced herself from the two, wary of a follow-up attack.
The Sword Master’s arrows flew from a distance to cover it, but Rein blocked it with defensive magic.
“I only have a little MP left…If I run out, Dragon Head will be defeated while I wait for it to recover naturally…”
Rein rushed to the Dragon Head’s side without regard for danger and applied all the magic he had learned to grant it.
“Rein san! If you use that much, your magic power will ……!”
“No, this is fine.
After lasting this long, Sky Music and Sword Master probably have as little HP left as we do.”
Saying calmly, Rein touched Dragonhead’s greatsword and increased its attack power.
“If we go into a prolonged battle like this, we’ll lose. Even if it’s reckless, we have no choice but to settle this before their HP and MP recover naturally.”
Rein is right, if they don’t act quickly before those two regain their footing, they will lose as they always do.
Even if it’s reckless, they have to do it.
Dragonhead kicks the ground and runs in the direction of Sky Music and Sword Master.
Dozens of arrows rain down on her from afar, but she avoids them without difficulty thanks to a buff that increases her movement speed.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
As it was, Dragonhead entered the bosom of Sky Music and swung her greatsword with a yell.
Sky Music tries to take evasive action, but is unable to catch up with the Dragon Head, which is faster than him, and is cut in two.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ！！！！！！！！？？？？”
Amane falls off her gaming chair and rolls around the clubroom.
Amamiya and Karina covered both their ears at her too noisy demise.
Her reaction was as if she had really lost her life.
Incidentally, Kenmochi had no reaction, as if he was used to hearing it.
He didn’t care that Amane had been knocked down, and was concentrating on the screen like a professional gamer.
“I can’t believe you’ve defeated Sky Music. …… You’re getting stronger, you two. But it’s not settled yet!”
As declared, the Swordmaster unleashed a flaming arrow.
Dragonhead used her large sword as a shield to defend against the flaming arrows.
Thanks to the buff to increased defence, it didn’t do much damage, but if you get hit repeatedly, you’ll eventually die.
Dragonhead aimed a flying slash at the Swordmaster, who was far away.
However, it was coolly evaded.
After all, the FPS world ranker has no intention of being hit by a long-range attack from the opponent.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
At the same time as releasing the flying slash, Dragon Head had already closed the distance with Sword Master.
The Swordmaster fires a volley of arrows at the oncoming Dragon Head, but it easily dodges the arrows in spite of its huge body.
Finally, he struck the dragon head—
“You’re getting closer, ……'”
Kenmochi smiles wryly and soon learns why.
The archer job had one means of attacking the approaching enemy.
The skill to throw small bombs from a backstep.
Perhaps aiming for that, the Swordmaster threw the bomb at the Dragon Head that was getting too close.
The Dragon Head had only a few HP left and would die if hit.
“I can’t let you do it!”
However, Rein, who had anticipated this, protected Dragon Head and the bomb scattered.
It turned into a star, spinning around and blowing up high into the sky.
“Takaaki-kun, …… thank you!”
Without taking her hands off the keyboard and mouse and with her eyes fixed on the screen, Karina expressed her gratitude.
Even if she had to step over the corpse of her late partner, she had to win at all costs.
“This is the last time!!!!!”
Drowned in the smoke from the explosion, Dragonhead sprinted as fast as she could.
Within range of the attack, she raised her greatsword.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
However, the Sword Master did not give up either, and instead of shooting the arrow, he clutched it in his hand and intercepted it.
The two sides’ attacks cross each other and finally come to an end.
It was a draw.
The Swordmaster’s arrows and the Dragonhead’s greatsword damaged each other at the same time, causing both to lose HP at the same time.
The conditions for passing the entrance test were victory or a draw.
A large expression of [DRAW] appeared on the PVP settlement screen, but Amamiya and Karina had a look that did not clear up.
Even though it was a draw, they were evenly matched with two world-class professional gamers.
Normally this would be a scene where they should be celebrating, but they did not.
They simply wanted to win.
(They’re extravagant, aren’t they? ……)
Kenmochi looks at the two grown-up players with nostalgia.
(But it’s more normal for a gamer to want to win than draw, even if the opponent is a better player. ……)
Kenmochi gets up from his gaming chair and picks up Amane, the club leader, who is still rolling around in the club room.
“Sorry, Kenmochi. I lost my brakes and nearly rolled into outer space.”
“You’re the only one who has such a weird sense of regret after losing a game. ……”
“Hehehe, you’re going to praise me down here?~”
Amazed by Amane’s ahoge swaying happily, Kenmochi turns his attention to his juniors, who look depressed as if they were attending a funeral.
He can’t say anything witty, but he should praise them anyway—
“We …… have worked really hard up to this point. ……”
“But we still couldn’t beat the seniors after all. ……”
The two of them, who were shedding tears like a waterfall, were more serious than expected.
Karina’s nose was dripping, and Amamiya was pressing a handkerchief to her nose like a mother.
“No, nothing has to be that depressing …….”
“Kenmochi-senpai, we! It seems we’re not qualified to join the game research club yet!”
“That’s right! I’ll come back so that we can win next time!”
“No. …… draw. ……”
“Well then, we’ll leave you to it ……!”
They left the tournament with serious faces, like players who have been eliminated from the tournament.
The two players were so serious about leaving that they looked like defeated athletes in a tournament.
But then the head of the club finally moves.
“Wait, wait, wait! Boy and girl!”
With a tremendous leap, she jumped over their heads and landed with a spin.
The head hit the door with a thump, and the head of the club, Shiori Amane, stood in the doorway, holding back her tears.
“You, are you underestimating this me and Kenmochi? Ora!”
She is threatening, but because she is small and cute, it looks like a desperate threat from a small animal.
However, only the mysterious seriousness of not letting them pass from here onwards was conveyed to them, and they read the air and stopped walking.
“Amane-senpai ……”
“Amami Kyun and Karina-chan are joining the Game Studies Club!”
“But it’s not. ……”
“You know, Amamo-kun, I’m proud to say that I and Kenmochi have never been beaten in a PVP match before! Not even in the super ultra rare class! Even though it was a draw, you killed Kenmochi and I. That’s it! Think of it as an honor!”
Amane delivers a speech on a line that is exquisitely unsure whether it should be moving or funny.
But for some reason, her words were firmly resonating in their hearts.
“This club activity is already a place for both of us. You can refrigerate your energy in the fridge or cool your bodies in the air-conditioning room…… , but just be careful not to catch a cold… okay?”
“”Yes!””
(Ehh,……)
Amane with her chest out, the juniors impressed and Kenmochi bewildered.
“Come on! Go jump into the General’s chest! My sweet juniors!”
“”Amane-senpai~!””
Amane is too light and is picked up, the juniors cry, and Kenmochi heads to the staff room to get a letter of admission.
Amamiya and Karina’s life in the Game Research Club begins now.
