Souji: So before anyone logs into their account we get told if we're doing a mission alone or in teams. Some people have partners or have a three-man team to work with in class.

Iris: Partners?

Souji: For example dummy one and two are partners. I'm a solo player. So what about you?

Iris: I'm a solo myself.

Souji: We should inform the teacher later. Anyway, the missions we're assigned to are dungeons. There's no time limit but we have to try to complete our task before class finishes.

Iris: Wait. So you're allowed to prepare before going to the dungeon?

Souji: That's right. The teacher is watching everyone on his computer and if everyone is stuck he'll send us a message.

Iris: What kind of message?

Souji: He'll give us clues if we're stuck on a puzzle and give advice on how to make something or if we die in a dungeon he'll point out what we did wrong.

Iris: That makes sense.

Boy student two: We arrive.

Souji (after turning around): Can you see?

Iris: I can. (in her mind looking at the boy on the left screen): What I can see is that the weirdo is the tank, (look at the boy on the right screen) boy two is a mage but also a supporter since he's carrying a lot of potions of sp and hp. (look at Souji screen) Souji the damager but I can't tell what he is.

Tank (boy student one): What's the plan leader?

Mage (boy student two (walking next to boy student one)): You're the tank. Shouldn't you give out commands?

Tank: Hey. I pick a tank because it has high defense, it allows me to protect my friends and I can be a hero.

Mage: Oh but when a bunch of girls watch. You charge ahead stealing the spotlight.

Inosuke (in front): Can both of you zip it? We're about to enter combat.

Inosuke has armpit red hair but is black at the bottom, black wolf ears, black tail, and red eyes with a right diagonal scar on the left eye. He's wearing a black mouth mask, a black shirt with no sleeves, and a red ankle-length coat that covers the neck with no sleeves, black inside, and the top half is zipped up to the chest. Black long gloves that hook around his middle finger, red trousers, and black boots with short heels. On the side of his hips are two dagger katanas that have a silver blade, black handle with red inside, and black sheath.

Tank and mage: Sorry sir.

Suddenly they heard a roar making them stop walking before a three-headed dragon flew down landing in the middle of the area.

Inosuke (while unsheathing his dagger): Stick to the plan.

Tank (running ahead): Time to slay a dragon.

The mage put a defense buff on the tank so it could block the middle head attack before the left and right head release a fire roar.

Tank: it's getting a little hot here.

The mage put a continuous healing effect on the tank before Inosuke appeared from the dragon's shadow underneath its stomach. He quickly unleashed a couple of hits on its legs making the dragon fall but before getting crushed Inosuke used a shadow step to appear near the mage.

Mage (after using a sp potion): I'm ready.

Tank (while his sword glows): Finally.

The tank unleashes a vertical slash on the middle head before the mage unleashes five icicle spikes from above. Inosuke split into two clones stabbing the other two heads but after unleashing a few more of their attacks the boss flew in the air having a magic symbol appear from behind.

Mage (while Inosuke clone disappears): Get behind me!

The tank and Inosuke started running toward the mage while he put up a powerful barrier but the dragon symbol released two lava dragons. Before reaching them Inosuke grabbed the tank so he could teleport them both into the mage barrier.

(inside barrier)

Tank (after appearing): Thanks.

Mage (holding barrier while the lava dragons attack): Sorry. I should have warned you sooner.

Inosuke (use sp potion): It's fine. These things happen. Anyway, I can't use that skill since it has a huge cooldown. (in his mind) I wanted to save that until my hp was at least lower (look at his hp) but it's still green.

Mage: Not to be rude but once my skill point reaches zero the barrier is going to disappear.

Tank (step forward): Leave it to me.

The tank shield glows before he slams the bottom of his shield to the ground making a bigger and stronger barrier appear. Inosuke uses a strength potion before the shadow blades appear behind him so he can release them having five hit the two lava dragons.

Mage (after using the sp potion on himself): Our attacks took two bars down.

Inosuke: It's almost like every boss has a second form when it reaches their last two bars.
