Vol. 5 - Chapter 256 - A Revolt-ifying starting for the weak! The Quartet's Resolution!
"They\'re right, your tyranny is unpardonable!"
"We will defeat thou, and take our freedom back into our hands!"
And so began the spouting of nonsense by the four classmates I had become acquainted with over the course of last week, which I don\'t even recall doing.
This was nothing but harmful rumors, so please stop them.
"Zephyr! As such, we are going to apply for a ‹Guild War› against thou! Any "but" or "if" is inadmissible!”
Saturn-kun stepped forward as their representative and said this, his tone was as grim as if he was declaring a war.
How did the situation come to this?
No matter how much I tried to fumble around in my memory, I couldn\'t find a single clue for it.
Today was Monday, the day after we held our 3rd Welcome Party \'n\' Celebration.
It was tough yesterday. I was fed so much by the girls that I couldn\'t even move, and naturally, I couldn\'t go back to my room in that state.
In the end, I had to lay out ‹Soft Convenient Mat› there and spent yesterday\'s night in the guild room.
I had to wake up early in the morning to return to my room for a shower and change, so I was also sleep deprived. I so much want to eat the sleep resistance food item. But that\'s too expensive... though delicious as well.
There\'s not much Shining Dinosaur Steak left, so I would like to save it for emergencies. Control Zephyr, control.
I left my room and slowly headed towards the campus while struggling with my desire. But I guess I took the start very slowly, I confirmed I would be late for class at my current pace, so I used ‹Segway Revised› for the first time.
The road was completely empty since it was normally the time students were mostly in their class by now, so I sprinted the segway at full speed, and my words, that was too much fun.
I slid into the class and was relieved to see Phyllis-sensei not present in the class. I barely avoided getting late due to Segway, but that moment of respite lasted only for a few moments.
Starting with Saturn-kun, the Quartet suddenly stood in front of me in a line.
And that\'s how it led to the beginning.
I couldn\'t figure out what had brought things to this point.
"You guys, return back to your seat if you\'re done with the morning greeting."
As I was cocking my head in puzzlement, I sensed someone\'s presence behind me, and needless to say, the said person was Phyllis-sensei.
I really made it a critical moment. So close.
I took my seat as if nothing happened, and today\'s classes began.
"Hey Zephyr, you couldn\'t have forgotten what we said in the morning, could you!?"
"Eh?... What was it again?"
"Fufu...fufufufufu. It\'s killing me... But I will not lose."
"Damnit! How long are you going to continue your tyranny!"
"Thou have the guts to forget! I should have already declared our intention clearly in the morning!"
I think they did talk about something in the morning, but I just let it slide from one ear to another since I barely made it to class and was slightly drowsy.
But, that\'s not a problem. We have forged our friendship quite well in the past week. If I forget something, I just need to ask them to retell it.
"Can you tell me what it was again?"
"Choke... Kuh, fine. I will tell you again. Everyone, formation! It\'s time to start over!"
"Ah, can you cut these sorts of things and just make it quick? You see, recess isn\'t too long after all."
"Choke Choke"
It was noon. I had just returned to the classroom after continuing my journey of conquering all cooking menus in the cafeteria as usual.
There were barely 5 minutes remaining before the recess ended. I had wanted to quickly sort out the materials for the next class, but Saturn-kun made some painful noise. Is he suffering from something? Maybe he ate too much. I could sympathize with his suffering since I had also gone through the same ordeal yesterday.
"After school... We will declare it again after school! Wash your neck and wait for us!"
Saturn-kun and others returned to their seats, leaving behind these words.
I get it; they must have come to request another training session. They\'re just acting tsun-tsun out of pride. I am no one to deny if that\'s what they desire it, all right, I will thoroughly train them today too. Speaking of it, I think they can handle a bit of a harder schedule than usual now.
While I was devising my plan for that, I didn\'t notice the Quartet ahead of me shuddering from the chill.
And, after school.
"Let\'s go, Zephyr! Come with us!"
"Hey, where are you guys going? The beginner’s gate is here."
"Sure enough, you didn\'t even put us in your eyes!"
Saturn-kun\'s face was dyed in rage when I called out to them, seeing that they were heading in the opposite direction of the beginner gate for some reason.
It seemed whatever they had to do wasn\'t related to the beginner\'s gate.
We arrived at ‹Reception for Guild request›. It was a section for the students to go through the procedure if they wanted to register a guild, join a guild, apply for guild battles, etc. I had also come here yesterday for Rina\'s joining procedure.
What in the world have they come here to do? Wait, it couldn\'t be...
"Hey, Saturn-kun. You know I can\'t be in multiple positions since I\'m already the guild master of Eden."
"No one is asking you to do so!"
I thought they were here to invite me to their guild, but the situation appears to be different.
"Listen well, I will declare it once again!"
"Oh, keep your voice down. It would be annoying to others."
"Shit!"
Saturn-kun clenched his teeth as if he were trying to endure something.
I was a bit scared at the symbol of his rage, his blood veins popping out on his forehead.
"Fufufufufu, leave this to me, Saturn."
"Kuh, go ahead, Jilong."
Saturn-kun backed down honestly when Jilong-kun raised his voice.
As far as I have seen, Jilong-kun didn\'t give the impression of shouting needlessly with his level headedness. He was the right person in this situation.
"Fufu, I will make it clear. Do a guild battle with us, Zephyr. Should we win, we will be calling ourselves out of the torture-like training, no, your training itself.”
What kind of torture-like training is he talking about? I couldn\'t recall doing anything of that level.
