While several people from the class began interrogating the mercenaries, Reese-ane got to work healing the remaining injured students. Thanks to Aniki’s excellent training, we began to gain the Demi class’ confidence.
“We have a general idea of the situation now, thanks to interrogation in our class. Furthermore, all of the students in our class are safe, though our Sensei got poisoned in the same manner. It has left him unable to move for a while longer.” (Emilia)
“Is that so? It will be good if there’s senior but…” (Demi Class Rep)
“You guys are probably anxious for many reasons, but nothing will change if you sit here inside the classroom. We plan to gather other students and fight those nobles.” (Emilia)
“That’s absurd! There are adult mercenaries alongside those golems. We’re just children, there’s no way we can win.” (Demi Student)
Just like in our class, there were students who opposed the idea, but the fear was dispelled when Nee-chan smiled at them. Oi, class rep over there, don’t get fascinated!
“No, we can win. Intermediate level magic is sufficient for destroying the golems. Even the mercenaries can be beaten if we pick them off in small numbers.” (Emilia)
Nee-chan relayed the information she had learned from Aniki. Since he taught us to always speak with confidence when we wanted to earn someone’s trust, Nee-chan had a confident smile on the entire time she was talking. I want Aniki to see that she is more enthusiastic than anyone else here, she’s grown so much stronger.
“We have the advantage in number. There’s no need to show mercy or fight fairly against enemies who use such despicable tactics against us, so we will group up and beat them without reserve. Instead of just hiding and waiting for someone to help us, since we can beat them with our own hands, shouldn’t we try?” (Emilia)
“Is it… possible?” (Demi Student)
“Please look out into the corridor. As you can see, there are students not just from our class, but from all over. We can win.” (Emilia)
“It’s true! Let’s do it! Our number will get bigger, right?” (Demi Student)
“I’ll do it! I’m going to protect Emilia-san!” (Demi Class Rep)
“Thank you very much, but I belong only to Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)
“… Yes. No, it’s still too early to give up!” (Demi Class Rep)
Even though the representative was remarkably depressed by her denial, he regained his composure back almost instantly. He’s tenacious, but Nee-chan is an insurmountable wall. There’s no space for him in her eyes, not even the size of an atom.
Anyway, the Demi class seemed to be willing to help thanks to Nee-chan’s speech. I’m not going to lose to her.
“I will lead the fight of course. No matter how many golems and mercenaries come, I’m going to send them all flying!” (Reus)
“Ooh! Aniki is motivated!” (Reus’ underlings)
“We will follow!” (Demi Students)
My friends from this class are also in high spirits and eager to fight.
In the end, 60% of Demi class joined us. The students who couldn’t fight were instructed to go to our class with the teacher who couldn’t move. We increased our number, and headed to the next classroom.
