Chapter 48: Seaside Training Camp Plan
"Summer Seaside Training Camp?"
Eikou froze for a moment after hearing this.
The kind like in shounen manga, where when the main character group faces a powerful enemy, they are forced to open a special training arc to increase their strength?
Amazing, even this kind of absurd school life actually gets implemented according to proper orthodox shounen manga standards.
Wait a moment…
This is a Summer Seaside Training Camp!
Summer + Beach = Swinsuit!
In Eikou's mind, countless beautiful figures of female Servant wearing swimsuits immediately appeared!
Had it finally arrived? After waiting for two whole months, had he finally reached the signature summer beach atmosphere, along with beauties in swimwear?
"Most of the Servant in the Middle East Class come from the Age of Gods. If you are made to confront them directly, it is indeed still too forced…"
The omnipotent genius Da Vinci pushed up her glasses, and suddenly revealed a calculating smile.
"But Gil Fest is an event for all the Class in the academy. The key point is that as long as the Middle East Class of the Female Hero King does not win, that's enough! As long as the victory laurel wreath falls into the hands of another Class, then this time you and her can be considered tied, and for you, that already counts as a win."
"Oh? What does Da Vinci-chan mean by that?"
"That's right, we will link up the major Classes and arrange a temporary Summer Training Camp. Before Gil Fest begins, we'll do our best to help you raise your strength as much as possible~☆"
"Umu… I understand!"
Eikou nodded, sinking into thought.
Although it only addressed the symptoms rather than the root cause, this was already the most solid and feasible plan at the present moment.
"Even so, your Britain Class still has a very high chance of winning…"
Beside him, Holmes held his pipe in his mouth, speaking as he exhaled smoke.
"Britain Class only loses to the Middle East Class in overall strength, but in your hands you hold an absolute trump card, a truly top-tier dark horse."
At present, those capable of defeating King Gilgamesh head-on would probably be Karna of the India Class, or Heracles of the Greece Class.
In addition, within the Britain Class there was also an individual whose strength exceeded the standard!
Not only capable of defeating the Golden King, but even an existence that could utterly crush her.
That was the remnant of the Albion Dragon, Melusine!
"However, a sports festival is not an individual battle, but a comparison of the strength of an entire Class, so no one can predict the concrete situation. Because aside from the Female Hero King, their side also has Ramesses II, Attila the Hun — their collective strength cannot be underestimated…"
"Most importantly…"
Holmes leaned close to his ear and spoke in a deeply suggestive tone.
"Are you truly prepared to let Melusine make her move? How do you plan to repay this favor to her?"
With just that one sentence, Eikou instantly fell straight into an icy abyss.
That's right. That Naughty Dragon, although her strength exceeded the standard, also had a fatal weakness.
— She, too, lusted after Eikou's body!
The moment Melusine was mentioned, scenes automatically surfaced in his mind.
[Darling, you don't want to lose to the Female Hero King of the Middle East Class either, right～ If you want me to step in and stop her, then use your own body as the price～?]
No, this kind of play was still too pure, not like something Melusine would say…
That Naughty Dragon would definitely say something far more 'Lancelot'-like…
[It's fine, you can just marry that King of Heroes. Anyway, the one who gets to eat you in the end will definitely still be me～?]
[Just thinking about you becoming someone else's husband, not only do I not want to help you, I feel even more excited...]
No, something like that absolutely could not be allowed!
"Bang!"
Eikou slammed his hand heavily onto the coffee table.
Why did it feel like Melusine's style of play was even more terrifying than the Golden King's?!
"There are only a few days left until Gil Fest. You and the Britain Class must prepare thoroughly. I advise you not to rely on Melusine's power, but instead rely on the strength you've accumulated over a long period of time."
Holmes reminded him in a sincere tone.
Eikou nodded, clearly feeling the immense burden pressing down on his shoulders.
Haha, I absolutely must survive!
[It is currently June 21. The remaining time before the Monthly exam, namely Gil Fest, is less than ten days.]
[The powerful opponents you face cannot be underestimated: one is the Female Hero King who has long coveted your body, the other is Melusine, Lancelot of the Lancelots.]
[You feel an extreme and crushing pressure weighing down on you...]
[...]
[You still have one day off. Da Vinci advises you to use this final day to relax your mind, because afterward what awaits you will be the beach training at the end of June along with the exam week, and there will be no more time to play then.]
[If there is anything left undone, you can take advantage of tomorrow to complete it.]
[You return to the dormitory with a heavy mood, lie on the bed, and think about plans for your day off tomorrow.]
[There are many things that need to be done laid out before your eyes, so many that they could even be described as piling up like a mountain...]
[Sesshouin Kiara is still roaming freely outside the law, BB's haunted house exploration, Murasaki Shikibu's dating invitation, and the upcoming Gil Fest...]
[But above all of those, there is still one extremely important task...]
[That is the Baobhan Sith Conquest Plan!]
"Oh my god, why is this Baobhan Sith so damn hard to pursue?!"
Eikou lay exhausted on the bed and let out such a sigh.
Every time he wanted to ask Baobhan Sith out, from parties to invitations to go out on days off, there would always be other troublesome girls barging in to interfere.
At school it went without saying—he was so busy that he completely had no proper time to spend with her at all.
The deadline the two of them had clearly agreed upon had already passed by more than half, and even this semester was already nearly halfway over. If this were a web novel, it would have already been written to a full million words, yet why was their relationship still stuck in place?
"This time I absolutely have to…"
Eikou's eyes suddenly became resolute.
This Training Camp, no matter what, he had to make their relationship show real progress.
At the beach, the atmosphere would definitely be better, and talking about romance would more easily spark feelings.
He didn't expect Baobhan Sith to immediately become his girlfriend, nor did he demand that she be like other girls who soften the moment they fall into love. But at the very least, there had to be some affection in her heart, right? It's already a million words—setting this requirement for the heroine of a romance work isn't excessive, is it? Not excessive, right?
"Not excessive, just maybe impossible…"
Eikou couldn't help muttering.
No!
He couldn't say such discouraging words. He had to puff out his chest and hold his head high, and treat Baobhan Sith as prey!
That beautiful yet arrogant brat—he absolutely had to take her down no matter what!
[You once again once again once again once again once again set a grand ambition.]
[This month, especially during the Summer Seaside Training Camp, you must definitely think of a way to accelerate the pace of conquest.]
[After a while, when your roommates gradually returned, you told them the entire plan regarding Gil Fest, the Seaside Training Camp, and the conquest of Baobhan Sith.]
[Seaside Training Camp – Baobhan Sith Conquest Arc, officially begins!]
[Hopefully she really can be conquered…]
