Chapter 6: Class Change

Thoroughly defeated, we returned to the classroom.

“Aww, we lost,” Akira said, disappointed.

“We did, but we were also able to bring it below 50% health. That was incredible damage.”

“I thought we could do it when I saw how much his ultimate dealt.”

“Sorry! I can’t believe I died first.” I put my hands together and bowed in apology before everyone.

“There wasn’t much you could do once he targeted you. Either way, it was originally meant to be just a reconnaissance run.” Maeda reassured me.

“So how did we do? Do you think we can win next time?”

“Hmm... As things stand now, it’ll be difficult, at best.”

“Agreed. Your burst damage was so high that he didn’t even look my way!”

“If we tried again now, it would end up the exact same way.”

Yano and Akira shared my thoughts. Being able to hammer out so much damage at once was very satisfying and dramatic, but it also became too much for the tank to handle.

The apprehensions I had felt before were finally taking shape. A good attacker can control his damage output in a way that allows the tank to maintain aggro. So when I was out there going ham on the boss, I was actually making things worse.

The simple truth was that we couldn’t win with this four-man restriction while using orthodox methods. We would run out of healing sources and be forced to watch helplessly as we died. There was no other way but to fire off four Dead Ends in quick succession. But with the damage aggro I built up, I would die before my fourth shot. We were stuck in a catch-22.

When she heard our thoughts, Maeda hung her head in disappointment.

“Oh... Then I suppose all we can do is throw in the towel.” As the expedition leader, I know she wanted to make things right for the class. Maeda really was a responsible girl.

“Sorry, Maeda. We might’ve set our expectations too high here.”

“Besides, it’s not your fault, Kotomi. Whoever used the debilitate bomb on us is the problem.”

“Not so fast, girls. I said ‘as things stand now.’ That doesn’t mean ‘throw in the towel.’“ I decided to step in.

“Oh?! Do you still have some dirty tricks up your sleeve?!”

“Seriously?! C’mon, tell us!”

“We’re all listening, Takashiro.”

“All right. Before I explain, how much MEP do we all have? I, uh, only have 141.”

“465 here.”

“I have 480 right now.”

“Akki? Kotomi?! How did you both get so smart?!”

Our only source of MEP so far was the five subject tests from the entrance exam. Those two were crazy good.

“Ooh, nice! I was hoping we could make it to 1,250. So far, we’re up to 1,086.” 164 left to reach our goal.

“How about you, Yuuna? You haven’t spent them yet, have you?”

“Nah, I haven’t yet. Uhhh, how much did I have, again? Just a sec. I think it was a hundred-something—”

“Wha? Huh? Seriously?!”

“Another member for the hundred club! That’s a surprise. My heart was racing in anticipation.”

“You got a problem with it? If I
