Arc 4 End

many in the theatre were celebrating the raven haired boys knighting with smiles and cheers (layered on the mountain of apologies and hugs administered to said boy) when suddenly the screen goes dark

Emilia: "Umm did something happen to mr screen?" the half elf puzzled by the abruptness of the screen turning off

Julius: "Hmm usually the warden is here to explain things when the screen does that" The knight of knights equally puzzled

"Umm hey can you guys hear me?" a more feminine voice not one belonging to the warden they knew

Al: "Yeah we can hear you, also who is this? you aren't the usual guy that's here" The one armed knight asked the new voice

"Oh right, Hi my name is Shio and for the time being while J- I mean your previous warden is busy with... things ill be here in the mean time to entertain you!" the voice enthusiastically replied 

Subaru getting up from the pile of people who have been hugging and profusely apologizing to him "Considering nothings happened within a year since the sanctuary im kind of curious on what your gonna show us" The knight said with a hint of curiosity

Anastasia: "Now this has caught my attention" the merchant said wanting to know what else can be seen from this theatre

Pricilla: "You have earned my intrigue Shio do not disappoint" even the fiery princess couldn't hide her excitement covering the smile on her face with her fan

"Ah so have any of more or I guess more likely Subaru and Al have either of you two entertained the concept of mirror worlds?" the voice asked which caught the attention of the Spirit sitting on Subaru's lap

Al: "is it that thing where in an infinite worlds where most of em are just people in the roles of different people? that sorta deal?" grabbing the attention of much the cast

Roswaal after his second round of beatings in the backrow his head resting on Ram's lap "Noooowww thaattt haaaasss my atttttention" 

"Mmmm close enough id say where going to see one of them where your favorite black haired knight is whipped away into another world that is neither earth nor Lugnica" the voice answered 

Wilhelm: "My it seems we will be seeing a third new world, to think I would see one much less two other worlds in my time is certainly interesting" The butler stroked his beard wondering what this world would be considering how different earth was to his world

Crusch: "We can only hope its atleast safer than what Subaru has dealt with in.. well our world" that last part stung alot of the cast but they decided to brush it off

Petra: "Please tell me Subaru-sama isnt gonna die over there too" the small maid said getting her head patted by the larger maid whos lap she was sitting on to comfort her

"Oh no its very much the opposite in this world Subaru is honestly pretty well off compared to well almost every other mirror world ive unfortunately gaze upon" the voice replied with an almost sad tone with how little worlds where the raven haired boy gets to relax and isnt fighting for his life and others

Felix: "Well that nyaice to hear at least nya" The healer relieved for once to not see any more misfortune befall his fellow knight

The voice is heard clearing her throat as she exclaims "Kivotos the academy city where many attend to learn where gun fights are common but lack little consequence due to the halos the students posses, where our protagonist will be tasked with guiding them to the right path!" 

Garfiel: "So they're goin to a school and my cap'n is gonna be teachin em? man I wanna go there now!" the demi human grumbled with envy at the prospect of not being there to learn how to be awesome like his captin

while Subaru was interested in this mirror worlds idea Al was thinking something else 'wait "Kivotos"? isnt that that the setting to that gacha game I used to play?' he raised an eye brow under his helmet so one noticed but as he almost raised his hand to tell them this he was stopped by Shio who whispered into his ear " Shhh its a surprise play along for now..." as the helmeted knight mentally shrugged and welt along with it 

And Thus the screen started playing...

Chapter Text

The Screen starts up

A Futuristic S pops up on the screen with sounds of typing 

"We thirst for the seven wailings."

"We bear the koan of Jericho."

Reinhard: "What do these words mean?" The sword saint asked turning towards Al and Subaru

Al: "No idea what the words themselves mean but from what I gather it seems to be a password or sorts" The Helmeted knight replied

"Password accepted."

"Welcome to the Shittim Chest, Subaru Sensei."

Beatrice: "Shittim Chest? what could that be I suppose"

Aoharu starts playing startling much of the cast but they quickly seem to like it and some started tapping their feet to the pleasant beat

Many images of Kivotos start flashing through the screen as the cast stare in awe

Julius and Reinhard try their best to quickly sketch the layout of the academy city 

The Screen Glitches

???: it was all my fault

???: My decisions, and everything they caused.

It pans to a mysterious figure with wolf ears points a gun at the camera with a look of sorrow

'Demi humans?' most of the cast thought

It glitches over to show an Ipad with damage sustained from bullets

Mimi: "Hey that looks like the other metias from mini-boss world!" the little demi human jumped

Garfiel: "Yeah but the thing looks like its broken..." 

???: It had to come to this for me to finally realize that you were right all along...

The Screen goes white some of the cast shielding their eyes

a woman with blue hair can be seen with what seems to be blood dripping from the left side of her outfit

???: "So forgive me for being so bold, but I must ask for your help."

???: "Subaru Sensei."

???: "You'll forget these words, but it won't matter."

???: "Even without knowing anything about this worldd, you'll probably make the same decision in the same situation..."

Crusch: "So it seems instead of the witch of envy this woman seems to have been the one to summon Subaru?"

???: "Therefore, I believe what matters most are the choices we make, not the experiences we have."

???: "There are choices only you can make."

Constant Moderato starts playing

The screen starts flashing snip bits of whats to come mostly showing group shots of girls in uniforms going about their regular day

from the make up work club, to the prefect team, to the gourmet society, to problem solver 68, to the foreclosure taskforce

Ricardo: "Dear god" the wolf man said with fake awe trying his best to hold in a laugh

Roswaal seeing where this was going also trying to hold back a giggle "It seeeemmmssss our dear lolmancer is in his naaaaturaall habitat"

Al: "The little girl user in a city full of little girls? hes practically gonna be a warlord with the little ones fighting over him! AHAHAHAHA" the three along side most of the other cast erupted in laughter at Subaru's expense well except for Petra who pouted in the displeasure of not being part of the potential loli harem this Subaru is gonna probably have

Ram: "Those poor children being forced to learn the world through Barusu's foolishness"

Subaru: "This damn title is gonna follow me to every single one of my graves isnt it" the black haired boy groaned in frustration knowing this moniker will follow him till the end of time

Beatrice: "It is nothing to be ashamed of I suppose if it werent for the ability that gave you that title the world wouldnt know your greatness in fact foolish contractor" The spirit proudly exclaimed on her contractors lap

???: "I've spoken of responsibility before."

???: "I didn't truly understand it then, but now I do."

???: "Adulthood, responsibility, obligation...and the choices you make that extend beyond those ideals."

???: "I even understand their implications."

???: ...

???: "Therefore, Sensei..."

???: "...you're the only one I can trust."

???: "Only you can free us from this twisted, distorted fate..."

???: "...and find the choices that will lead us to a new reality."

???: "So, Sensei. Please..."

Chapter Text

Sharp Voice: "..sei"

Sharp Voice: "Sensei. Wake up."

Sharp Voice: "Subaru Sensei!"

Subaru: "HUH WHERE AM I WHA-?!" Falls off his chair

most of the cast start giggling

Ram: "Barusu's laziness knows no bounds, and to think he should be an example for those children?!" Ram hissed slightly relieved her younger brother figure isn't in as dangerous or a world

Subaru and Al: 'hmm that didn't have the usual sting she usually delivers' the two knights thought to themselves

Rem "oh come on sissy we all know how tired Subaru-kun was when he existed that "conveenens" store during the first viewing" Rem pouted at the fact her sissy can never treat her hero with the respect he deserves

Beatrice: "at ease maid the other maid obviously cant understand the greatness of betty's subar- MMMPPHH " said contractor quickly covered his spirits mouth to stop her from making a scene

Subaru: 'where am I exactly?' the recently isekaied man thought to himself

Sharp Voice: Clears Throat "You fell asleep after I asked you to wait here. I even had some trouble waking you up... I didn't expect you to be so sound asleep."

???: "You must have been having a dream. Anyway, gather yourself and focus..."

???: "Let me explain the current situation again."

The screen then shows a figure with business attire and glasses but the feature that caught most of the cast were her elf ears

Rin "General Student Council": "My name is Nanagami Rin, and I'm a General Student Council officer from the Academy City, Kivotos."

Rin "General Student Council": "And you're a teacher that we have summoned here...or so it would seem."

Ricardo: "From the looks of it she aint even surprised Mini-boss just up and appeared there outta nowhere?" The Beastman asked

Anastasia: "Also what's a student council?" The Merchant inquired to the two otherworldly knights

Beatrice: "Schools in Betty's Subaru's world seem to be much bigger to the point to where the teachers not only teach multiple students up to 50s but that there are so many students that they allow some to be in positions of power I suppose" The Spirit proudly exclaimed

Al: "Yeah what she said but aside from that I've never been in one of those councils"

Roswaal: "It seeeemss to be the case that this whole summoning thiiinngg is a common occurrrrraaaanncceee" The mage guessed

Subaru: "So your telling me I just got summoned to a parallel world just to be a teacher..." The boy cried thinking his isekai journey was gonna be filled with magic, adventure, wonders and probably a harem

Rin "General Student Council": "Pardon my uncertainty, but I only say that because I still don't fully understand how you got here."

Emilia: "Wait so she doesn't even know how he got there?" 

Rin "General Student Council": "I understand that this must be very confusing to you."

Subaru: 'yeah no kidding I dropped out of school and now im the one that has to teach?! I can barely do high school level math!' the boy cried internally

Rin "General Student Council": "My apologies. However, I would like you to follow me for now."

Rin "General Student Council": "There's something I require your help with."

Subaru: 'em I dont have much of a choice anyways might as well do as shes says"

The Black haired boy proceeds to follow the elf woman much to the jealously of a certain half elf 

Emilia pouts "no funny business missy there's only enough room for one maybe two elves in Subarus heart and no more!" the half elf childishly shakes her fist at the screen to the giggles of the cast

Subaru: "No one says funny business anymore Emilia-tan" the knight trying to calm his liege down

Priscilla: "hmph half wit immediately getting jealous at the sight of another elf on my property?" The sun princess said with much venom

Felt: "Can it bimbo you really think big bro gonna come crawling to you after you keep insulting his friends?" The other red eyed blonde retorted

Priscilla wanting to pull out her Yang sword after such insolence was stopped by something

Shio: "Geez I leave you people for 30 seconds and your already at each others throats ugh how did J^*) deal with you people" the voice said with the name she spoke seemingly distorted as the Yang Sword in the sun princess hands vanished

Shio: "Any more of that bullshit will lead to severe consequences Priscilla-sama" the voice sounding much more intense than the usual tone it exhumed

The Sun Princess simply huffed as she proceeded to go back to hiding her face behind her fan

A sound unfamiliar to most of the cast can be heard

BGM Connected Sky

Rin "General Student Council": "Welcome to Kivotos, Sensei."

The cast despite the fact they were just shown many images of the academy city already cant help but still gasp in awe at the vase city

Petra: "How are they going up when they aren't moving at all?" The little maid asked her hero

Subaru: "That's what we call an elevator, basically its a box that transports people up and down a really tall building- Julius I can hear you writing from here!" the knight shouted as he deadpanned  over to the knight of knights scribbling down his words quickly putting down his notebook that's been half filled with concepts the boy as spewed across all their viewings

Ricardo: "and they say they aren't soulmates" The Beastman laughed with the one armed knight  

Rin "General Student Council": "Kivotos is a massive city, home to thousands of different academies. This is where you'll be working from now on."

"It's bound to be very different from the place you call home. You might find it difficult to fit in at first..."

"...but something tells me that you will adjust in due time."

"After all, you were chosen by the General Student Council president."

"We can leave the rest of the details for later."

*Ding* it sounded to indicate they were at their requested floor

as they walked over to the front desk...

a purple haired girl with twin tails, a brown haired girl with glasses and elf ears, a tall girl with white attire with a wing on the side of her head, and a very tall black haired woman with massive... wings swarmed them

Yuuka "Seminar" :There you are, Acting President! We've been waiting! Get the real president in here already!"

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "I've been waiting to see you, Chief Officer."

Chinatsu "Prefect Team": "I'm here to meet with the General Student Council president. The head prefect has terms she would like to discuss."

Yuuka: "Huh? Who's that adult with you?" The purple haired girl noticed the figure standing with Rin

Rin GSC: "Well... This timing is rather inconvenient." the so called "acting president" put on a forced smile and said

"Hello, guests that represent neighboring academies' student councils, disciplinary boards, and those who otherwise have too much time on their hands."

"I am well aware why you irksome—I mean, important representatives have come here today."

"You're here to blame us for the fuss happening in the Academy City. Isn't that right?" most would sewar they saw her eye twitch

Yuuka "Seminar": "If you're well aware, then do something! You represent the General Student Council after all!"

"Thousands of academy districts are in panic! Our academy's wind generator shut down just a few days ago!"

Chinatsu "Prefect Team": "There are also rumors a student under the Federal Corrections Bureau's custody has escaped." 

Suzumi "Trinity's Vigilante Crew": "There has been a sharp increase in the number of thugs attacking our students on their way to school. Public safety is not being properly enforced."

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "Illegal distribution of tanks, choppers, and other unknown weapons have increased by over 2000 percent. At this rate, ordinary school life in Kivotos will be a thing of the past."

Rin "GSC": "..."

The cast was equally taken aback at mass questions that were thrown at Rin

Yuuka "Seminar": "And what is the General Student Council president doing during such a sorry state of affairs? I demand to see her right this instant!"

Rin "GSC": "..."

Subaru: 'Let me guess the plot point she's missing and im conveniently the last person she was with' the boy humored a guess at what could be happening

Rin "GSC": "The president is not here at the moment. To be frank, she's gone missing."

Felix: "How did Subaru-kyun guess that so effortlessly nyah?" The blue knight asked

Subaru: "You know how near the start of my time in Lugunica I was treating it all like some big power fantasy novel?" the black haired boy sarcastically replied 

Priscilla: "Hmm so the fool can guess how things might be by attributing events as if it were a mere story?" The Sun Princess asked

Al: "I mean its pretty easy to guess Princess things suddenly go to shit, bro wakes up in a mysterious place that the person he was talking to was very important in an-" The knight quickly got a fan to his side

Yuuka "Seminar": "WHAT?!"

Chinatsu "Prefect Team": "..!"

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "So the rumors were true..."

Rin "GSC": "Allow me to cut to the chase. The General Student Council has no authority because the top administrator of Sanctum Tower has gone missing."

"We had been searching for a way to bypass the need for verification, all to no avail...until recently."

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "You mean you've found a way now, Chief Officer?"

Rin "GSC": "That is Correct"

" Sensei here is the answer to our problems."

Beatrice: "So this woman simply summoned Betty's Subaru and having him solve all their problems while she disappears?! the nerve of them in fact!" The spirit throwing a mini tantrum at how they were treating her contractor

The 4 simply turned to the figure standing beside Rin

Subaru: "Wait me?"

Yuuka "Seminar": "Hold up. Who is this "Sensei" you're talking about? What are they doing here in the first place?"

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "Whoever they are, they don't seem to be from Kivotos."

Roswaal: "it seems they can teeeelllll if someone isnt from Kivotos buuuuttt I wonder how?"

Frederica: "Maybe it has something to do with those things above their heads?" The head maid pointed to the floating things above their heads, most of the cast turn to Subaru and Al

Al: "Your guess as to what those things are as good as mine"

Subaru: "They seem to be similar to the halos you see on angels but more... stylized? I guess" the black haired boy wondered

Rin "GSC": "This is Subaru Sensei. Not only are they going to be teaching in Kivotos, but they've also been personally selected by the General Student Council president."

Yuuka "Seminar": "The president chose them. The one who's now missing? Things are making less and less sense..."

Subaru: "My guess is as good as yours anyways" The black haired boy said putting one hand on his hip and pointing to the sky with the other

Subaru: "My name is Natsuki Subaru I have no idea why or what im doing here, pleasured to meet you" the boy said with a grin as the introduction slowly became endearing to the cast

Yuuka "Sminar": 'y-your serious about choosing THIS GUY president?!'

Clearing her throat "R-Right. It's good to meet you, Sensei. I'm Millennium Science School's..."

"I-I mean, why am I even bothering to introduce myself right now?"

Rin "GSC": "Don't worry about that annoying girl. Let's just move on..." The elf said which led to some giggles from the cast

Yuuka "Seminar": "Who are you calling annoying?! I'm Hayase Yuuka! You should remember that name, Sensei!"

Subaru: "Well its nice to meet you too!" he said turning back to Rin

Rin "GSC": "You're here to serve as the advisor for a club that was formed by the General Student Council president."

"The Federal Investigation Club: Schale."

"This isn't your average club—more like a type of extrajudicial organization. Since it's a federal club, you'll be allowed to register students from any of the academies in Kivotos."

"You're permitted to conduct battle activities in each academy district without restriction."

"How the president was able to create an organization with this much power, I have no idea."

Subaru: 'why the hell am I just suddenly given this much power out of nowhere?!' the boy internally cried

Rin "GSC": "The Schale club room is about 30 kilometers from here. The building is currently empty, but we had to put something in the basement at the president's request."

"It's my job to take you there" Radio screech

"Momoka. I need a helicopter to take us to the Schale club room."

Momka "GSC": "The Schale club room? That's over in the outskirts. Things are kind of crazy over there right now..."

Reinhard: "How does that small box she's talking to reply to her?" The sword saint asked turning to the otherworld knights

Al: "That thing is called a "Radio" basically its like the metia we have here but it sacrifices the ability to see the other person in exchange for being able to reach alot father"

many "ohh"s and "ahh"s later the viewing resumed

Rin "GSC": "What do you mean "crazy"?"

Momoka "GSC": "A suspended student escaped from the Corrections Bureau and is wreaking havoc. It's a battlefield over there right now!"

Rin "GSC": "What?"

Momoka "GSC": "They rallied all the thugs in the area and are destroying everything in their path to get revenge on the General Student Council. I hear they've even got a Crusader Tank!"

"They must be trying to occupy the Schale building because they know the General Student Council controls it. Maybe they think there's something valuable inside."

Wilhelm: ""Crusader Tank"?" The butler curiously asked

Subaru: "So you know how Beako explained guns and cars to you?" many nodded

"well imagine a gun that was massive, was stuck to the top of a car, and the ammo it shot was explosive" the boy replied much to the horror of the cast

Julius: "I can see why they are on high alert now that you've explained it I definitely do not want to face one myself"

Rin "GSC": "..." Rin's eye twitched for a moment

Momka "GSC": "Oh, well. The city's already a dump, so I don't think it'll make that much of a difference... Oh, great! The food I ordered is here. I'll talk to you later!"

*Click*

Rin is seen on the brink of probably breaking something  

Subaru: "Deap breaths Rinny I know this is stressful but take it easy one at a time" The boy trying desperately to calm the elf down

Felix: "Subaru-kyun has bearly meet for for even an hour and is already closing the gyap between them nya!" The healer is still baffled by how quickly Subaru can act all buddy with people he's just met

Rin "GSC": "I'm fine... It's just a minor setback. No problem at all." Rin says as she starts staring at the 4 students in the room and idea bubbling in her mind

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "..?"

Yuuka "Seminar": "What? Why are you looking at us like that?"

Rin "GSC" through a forced smile: "It's so reassuring to have you trustworthy academy representatives here with us."

"Huh" the collective students said

Yuuka "Seminar": "Wait, what? Where are we going?"

The Scene changes to a now down onto the streets with the 5 figures of Subaru, Yuuka, Hasumi, Chinatsu, and Suzumi running across the battlefield

Yuuka "Seminar": "What's going on?" she cried as gunshots can be heard

"Why do we have to be the ones to fight them?!"

Chinatsu "Prefect Team": "Rin said defending the club room is paramount if they're to regain control of Sanctum Tower."

Yuuka "Seminar": "I get that, but I belong to my school's student council! Why is busywork like this falling to me?" she said as a feew shots hit her

"Ah, that smarts! What the heck?! Are they using HP rounds? That's cheating!" 

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "Just take cover, Yuuka. And besides, hollow-points aren't considered illegal."

Yuuka "Seminar": "Well, they're illegal at our academy starting right now! That might have left a mark!"

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "We need to remember that Sensei is here with us."

"His safety is our top priority. Reclaiming that building will come second."

Chinatsu "Prefect Team": "Hasumi is right. Sensei isn't from Kivotos."

"Unlike us, a single bullet could put Sensei in grave danger. Don't forget that!" the cast gasp as this revelation hits them

Garfiel: "So cap'n not being from there somehow makes these bullets more dangerous to him?! how the heck is that fair!" The tiger boy yelled

Al: "I don't think the bullets are racist bud, I think something else is at play which is probably connected to the fact they all got halos" the one armed knight said trying to calm Garfiel down

Yuuka "Seminar": "I know that! You can't join us on the battlefield, Sensei, so stay put while we take care of this!"

Subaru: "Dont worry girls I will help by giving commands and stuff since well its the only thing I can do at the moment" the cast let out a big sigh of relief as they realize Subaru wont be in any immediate danger 

Wilhelm: "Of course Subaru-dono will take lead his leadership skills have been shown to be his strong side"

Garfiel: "Hell yeah my cap'n can shine even in the backline"

Mimi: "Mini-boss was a great tactician!"

Yuuka "Seminar": "What? You're going to take command? Well... I guess you are supposed to be a teacher."

Hasumi "Justice Task Force": "Okay we'll follow your commands"

Suzumi "Trinity Vigilante Crew": "I see no problem with Subaru Sensei taking lead"

Chinatsu "Prefect Team": "A student must listen to their teacher. We'll be counting on you."

Yuuka "Seminar": "Alright then lets do this!"

Subaru is seen pulling out an Ipad as a drone can be seen flying up giving the black haired boy the vision he needs to command

Subaru: "Lets see what this thing Rinny gave me can do!"

The Battle Begins

Chapter Text

The Drone flies high into the sky.

suddenly the screen Suabru is holding cracks to life and what he saw was definitely something no one in the cast expected.

Suabru: "...its a party selection screen?" he blurted out forgetting no one but Al understood what that meant.

Felix: "Nya-what now?" The healer looked at the black haired knight perplexed.

Beatrice: "Betty's contractors worlds games that are on their metia can usually be boiled down to seeing pieces on a board that usually look like people, I suppose, and what the player can do to manipulate said pieces around usually being the determining factor on the genre of game in fact!" The spirit proudly boasted expecting praise from her contractor.

Subaru: "Oh my adorable Beako has been truly listening to my rambles, oh it brings a tear to my eye at how amazing my sprit is!" said contractor was already hugging his spirit as tight as he could for being so cute.

oh the other side of the theatre Julius who would usually be smiling at the display simply sighed as he placed another book full of the things they have learned in the theater onto the pile on the seat next to him that used to belong to Mimi and Tivey, who have surrendered themselves to sitting on Ricardo's lap 'my hands are starting to hurt again' Julius thought to himself as he brought over his Water and Yang spirits to his hands.

Subaru: "Oh neat, its just like a game, not gonna lie they do look pretty cute and chibis, alright lets see what they can do." the one screen Subaru said before placing his finger on the portrait of Chinatsu to see her stats page.

A detailed into page pops up with stats most of the cast not understanding what most of it means.

Subaru: "Hmm ok we got a healer that's good" he said, skimming through the skill descriptions faster than anyone but Subaru and Reinhard could read.

He proceeds to skim through Suzumi who he deduced was part AoE damage part support with the stun, Hasumi who was pure single target damage, and finally Yuuka who seemed to be a tank in the most literal sense of the word with high defence and a shield.

Otto: "N-natsuki-san! slow down I couldn't even finish reading half of that!" The Internal affairs officer cried at how fast the young man was reading it.

Anastasia: "Even I have to agree, how is he apprising everyone's capabilities so fast?" The Merchant Queen turned towards the knights.

Al who simply nodded: "He's just looking for keywords im guessing." said blankly understanding how he was speedreading it.

Roswaal: "And whaaaattttt could theeeeseee key words beeeee???" The mage inquired.

Al: "The usual stuff that comes up in games, Stun, Heal, Shield, Big Damage all that sorta stuff."

Felix: "Nyalright Subaru-kyun can you translate what any of that meant?" The Healer asked not understanding a word of Al's quick but hard to digest words.

Rem: "Subaru-kun has always been able to quickly assess peoples abilities and such, it's how hes always been able to quickly plan out things where no one gets hurt!" The maid puffed out her chest in her heros pride.

Subaru: "I guess think of it this way its basically my brain condensing what some people do in easy to assess ways to make stuff easier?"

Frederica: "Could you elaborate on that Subaru-sama?" the head maid tilting her head.

Subaru: "Alright, think of it like this, this is the tutorial fight so its likely im being given simple right?"

everyone nods

"so to command the units on screen, screen me is just categorizing them into sections like what the screen said Yuuka's main job seems to be being on the frontline taking damage, Chinatsu being the only one not on the field but instead the backup slots seems to be the healer, and finally Hasumi does massive damage at the detriment of only being able to hit one enemy while Suzumi can hit multiple enemies and stun them at the cost of some damage, alright got all that?" the now out of breath knight asked the crowd as Reinhard with his own stack of notes gives him a thumbs up.

The battle begins, the cast see the fight from Subaru's perspective where though his Ipad he gets a bird's eye view of the battle ready to support them in any way possible.

Yuuka in the front, Suzumi and Hasumi in the back and Chinatsu staying close to Subaru ready to defend him and provide aid to the other strikers when needed.

*BANG*                                                               *BANG*                                                                                                                                        *BANG*

       *BANG*                                                                                                                                     *BANG*

*BANG*                                                         *BANG*

Both sides taking cover but the 3 students seem to be getting the upper hand with Subaru's positioning and tactics... All the while Subaru was rereading what their EX skills did despite reading them just a second ago leading to the cast already wanting to tease him again.

Ram facepalming: 'My sister REALLY needs to rethink her taste in men...'.

Reinhard: "Now now everyone, Subaru is still doing great with giving out command while still refiguring out how their "EX skills" do." The sword saint trying to defend his friend from all the giggles.

Felix giggling holding his side: "H-hey heheh Its Julius-kyun's job to cheer on his boyfriend N-hehhe-Nya!" the healer said through his snickering at at boy.

Julius on the other side of the theatre despite hearing all of that was too busy nursing his hand to even care about Felix's comments.

Subaru was reskimming through all their EX skills when he selected Suzumi's and saw the prime opportunity to use it.

Subaru: "Suzumi! There's a gathering of them over there!" he shouted as he released his finger on where he wanted her to throw it.

A blue marker is seen in the middle of the group of mobs with a little portrait of Suzumi indicating its her EX that's bein requested.

Suzumi: "On it Sensei!" she says pulling out a flashbang pulling the pin and throwing it towards the hologram marker.

*BANG!!!* Almost the whole group of mobs falls and whatever few left standing where stunned for Yuuka and Hasumi to take out before they recovered.

Subaru fist bumping the air: "Oh yeah! Who's a master tactician!" he celebrates not realizing the battle isnt over.

"Oh wait there's still more" he realizes as his students continue to walk forward.

While there were the usual snickers, most of the others mainly the Demi Humans were busy trying to get the flashbangs ringing to leave their ears.

Mimi and Tivey jumped a little from Ricardo's lap when the flashbang hit, Ricardo himself was shaking a bit, Felix and Frederica were both covering their ears and Garf while trying to look tough the ringing in his head was quickly healed by Shio, Emilia why didnt look away was wondering why everything was looking shakey/burry, and Rem and Ram were mostly unaffected aside from rubbing their eyes from the bright flash.

Anastasia: "Oooh whats the blue thing that showed up that had Suzumi-chan's image?" The merchant quickly recovering from the flashbang asked.

Al: "The closest thing we got that I know of are called "Holograms" basically its light that's different colors that form a picture, oh and by the way those things arent solid."

Wilhelm: "And the "flashbang" as the screen put it?"
