CH 132

We got eight points in the stuff-all-you-can.

And B-Class got eight points as well, A-Class’ first place is the same, but with a four-point gap between Classes B and C, and a seven-point gap between Classes D and E.

When it was Yogus’ turn in the guess the name of the demon competition, the three classes that had come in second place were all given three points, which honestly hurt. And of course, my zero points too.

However, for the 10,000 beryl competition, as long as Luciel and Jack don’t come in double last place, the first place is unassailable, so there should be no problem …… probably. The funny thing is that in some competitions, there were two competitors, so there was a lot of up and down in points.

If they thought this far ahead and made it a rule that each student must compete in at least two events, then I think the headmaster and teachers did a great job.

“The last event before the indiscriminate combat competition was the 10,000 beryl competition. This didn’t happen last year too, did it?”

“Yes. The value of an object is unexpectedly difficult to understand, and there are cases where what you think is just a stick is a staff of the world tree, or a statue made of gold that looks expensive is a fake. Will you find one item that is close to 10,000 beryls, or will you choose one that is 10,000 beryls? That’s the intention.”

“I see. Wouldn’t it be easier if we had an appraisal?”

“Of course, we’ve used magic on it so that it can’t be appraised. There’ll be no mistake”

“Kuoooh!”

“Hey, bear. You brought him back again.”

And then the explanation was given.

I muttered to myself that, as I thought, appraisal had already taken care, and looked at Luciel and Jack as they headed back out into the field. 

“If they both win first place, we’ll surely win.”

“I’m sorry, I wish that I should’ve tried a little harder.”

Urla and Nora each spoke to the other, and Sarge said some good things. It’s about to start, and I thought that I should talk to them too, so I approached them. Makina and Kudelica had also gathered in order to make a break for it.

“No, you did great, Nora-chan. Don’t worry, I’ll get the first place again!”

“Don’t forget about me! Heh, count on my discernment.”

“Don’t let the sabotage get the better of you, okay? There’s a chance it might get switched at the last minute, too.”

My words were matched by both Kudelica and Makina, and Jack said. 

“It was suspicious that she didn’t use her skills, just like in the competition. And Luciel-chan will be wary of them now, so they might try something here.”

“Since I’ve been using it so much, you might as well assume that collaboration is useless. If it were up to me, I’d get rid of Jack and get on with it.”

“We’ll just have to see what we can do ……”

“Well, it’s not like we’re going to die if I lose, and I’m not going to lose in the final competition. Even if we’re in last place, we’re going to take it back, so just take it easy. Right, Lars.”

“Ryuuze is right. Even if we lose, we can always win next year.”

“That’s a story in the future ……”

“Haha, true!”

Everyone laughed when Yogus was dumbfounded, and the signal to assemble was given shortly after.

“I’m off then!”

“Watch this ……!”

I watched them go in with great enthusiasm.

Winning or losing is important, but it’s also interesting to see what kind of products will come out. Oh, It seems to be starting.

“Lux, what did the guys in B-Class said?”

“…… The alliance has been broken up. They said they’re going it alone from here.”

“I invited them though, but they betrayed us.”

To his classmates, Lux commands them with a serious face and tells them.

“The plan was just until this competition, so we just moved it up a bit. Fortunately, we and B-Class are tied at fifty points, and D and E are at forty-nine points. If we win the first place at least one first place in this competition, we can have hope at the last competition.”

“Last, if A-Class is in last place, right?”

“Well, yeah. You said that the final round would be a round-robin, but I think even Lars-kun would have a hard time competing in consecutive rounds. And it would be a pity if you were disabled in the first round, wouldn’t it?”

Lux chuckled and looked at the field. These words made the C-Class feel a little cold sweat on their backs. However, Lux did not care and continued.

“Well, I’m just going to ask them to sleep for half a day. But more importantly, let’s cheer them up!”

“Y-Yeah. Sleep will be fine ……”

“–Well then, the competition begins!”

And so the competition begins.

“Ueh, look at all those teacups? I’m sure those things are cheap.”

“The cup that Ryuuze used when he was at the lord’s mansion, it cost 350 beryl a piece, you know? There are more expensive tea sets.”

“Seriously!? I used to drink it with milk in it ……”

“That’s what happens when you don’t know the value. For now, I can’t wait to see what Jack chooses.”

“Just in case, It looks like he’s been to the mall?”

Helena smiled after saying that. The first one is Jack, and the competition has already started. There is plenty of time to examine the items, but it takes courage to choose the right one.

It’s even more difficult when it’s something you use everyday, like a bag or a watch, and even more difficult when it’s a brand name. I could understand why Jack had a difficult look on his face.

In the meantime, there was a shadow approaching behind Jack.　

I made a mistake and posted this in another chapter!

Thank you for pointing that out!
