"Ahem—and now, the first summoning battle will officially begin now."
The summoning event is held at the special stage located at the field.
"Before the third battle begins, we won't be showing the battles to outsiders, so do your best."
The one in charge of this is the maths teacher, Kinouchi-sensei, so of course, the topic tested is maths.
"Let's do our best, Ritsuko."
"Nn."
The two girls, who are our opponents, nod their heads. This is truly a scene worth smiling at.
Come to think of it, where have I seen them before...
"Then, summon your beasts."
"Summon!"
As both of them shouted, the familiar magic array appeared beside them. Two miniature head-sized test summon beasts that take the appearance of the summoners appear from them.
B class, Iwashita Ritsuko, Maths 179 points & B class, Kikuiri Mayumi, Maths 163 points.
Two summoned beasts that possess similar equipment appear opposite. They have Western style helmets and swords. They look like a much weakened version of Himeji-san's summoned being.
"Then we should start summoning as well."
"Alright."
"Summon."
Our summoned beasts appear. My summoned beast is still equipped with a modified uniform and a wooden sword. On the other hand, the one hailed as a genius, our class rep's summoned beast is—
"...barehanded?"
It doesn't look like it's holding anything. Is it an invisible sword?
"You idiot, look closely."
Yuuji lets the summoned beast raise its fists for me to inspect,
"Isn't it wearing metal knuckles?"
"You, you small fry! There's small fry here!"
How is it possible to have such a weak summoned beast? Though the knuckles are his weapons, I have never seen a summoned beast that has such lousy equipment!
"We're coming up, you field trip brothers."
"Ritsuko, that's wrong, they're delinquents."
Our summoned beasts are wearing modified uniforms, one with a wooden sword and one with metal knuckles. Even then, we can't deny the mocking of the opponent.
F class, Sakamoto Yuuji, Maths 179 points & F class, Yoshii Akihisa, Maths 63 points.
Our marks are shown on the screen as reference.
"Oi, Yu...Yuuji!"
"What?"
"Why's your score so high?"
To think that he got 179, it's comparable to B class. He's supposed to be an idiot! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE AN IDIOT!!
"Ever since the last summoning battle, I started to study hard in order to beat 'A' class."
For some reason, Yuuji is saying this with an unhappy look.
To be able to improve so much in such a short time? As expected of the man hailed as a genius.
"However, why do you want to work hard?"
Yuuji should be trying to prove that 'those who can't study can still succeed' as he challenged 'A' class. Is there a reason for him not to lose, even if he has to go against his ideals?
