Clara is still as energetic as ever.
...I feel like after entering the second year, the previously troublesome people aren't troublesome anymore, and the people who weren't troublesome have become super troublesome.
Teacher Dali, who had listened to all the reports, slammed his hand on the table.
"Everyone! This is a very serious problem. Because they are excellent, they are currently indulging in arrogance, full of themselves and looking down on others."
Iruma: Me? I applied for a simple upgrade test just for me.
"Babyls School is a place with a long history of cultivating demons. Because we, as Teachers, have an obligation to deflate their arrogance!"
"How about we organize it together with the first-year students? Let them protect while running away. For the vanguard, let's suppress them with a quick attack. Can I leave the escape route to you?"
"No problem."
...After some discussion, the Teachers said,
"Let's brand the heroes, who are intoxicated by the taste of victory, with the mark of a defeat that makes them tremble! We will play the overwhelming villain role."
Teacher Momonoki and Teacher Suki, who could only video call from the girls' classroom dormitory, commented,
"They're clearly enjoying themselves."
Time returns to the present.
"Oh! The Young King Shax's team's balloon was eliminated at the start!" The broadcast room leader looked at Ameri.
"President, what do you think?"
"They don't look like second-year students at all."
"Indeed, oh ~ they've met again here! Valac's team has a new conflict, facing Teacher Suki."
"Ooh-hoo ~ I've found some delicious little cuties ~" Suki said, looking at Valac's team opposite her.
"Hi ~! Teacher Suki ~" Clara greeted.
However, Stolo F Watro, next to Clara, immediately warned Clara,
"Run, Senior! That one is absolutely not a demon to mess with. That demon is known as the 'Mother of Plants'..."
"Oh my, the one with the flower on her head... looks like a child with a similar lineage to mine. But even if she's a relative, I won't go easy on her!" Teacher Suki said, and two giant flowers appeared behind her... only the center of the flowers were Gatling guns.
Shesi: Seriously, guys... how did they spec the skill tree in the demon world? They have Gatling gun plants but no thermal weapons, right?
Just as Teacher Suki began to attack with her Gatling flowers, Clara immediately pulled out a vending machine from her bag and blocked in front of them.
"Wow! A vending machine?"
"Mhm, I pulled it out subconsciously. Shesi-kun said nothing is harder than this thing, so I'm using it as a shield," Clara explained.
"I see? But what is Teacher Suki's flower shooting?"
"Mhm... I've seen it in textbooks. That plant is called a Gatling Daffodil. It shoots seeds like arrows. And... that one behind... is the 'Thorn Red Princess'! It also shoots thorns!" As she spoke, the attack had already arrived, and Clara immediately pulled out several more vending machines and threw them in front of them.
However, Clara was also panicking now, pulling out many miscellaneous things from her pocket.
"It's... it's fine, so... what should I use now?"
"Clara Senior, is there anything I can help with?"
"Uh, first... uh, second..." Clara was already flustered and at a loss, and Stolo F Watro was also very flustered. But another student said,
"I say..." Yē Mǎ Shǐ began.
But the sudden voice startled the two of them.
"Anyway... how about we calm down first? Although it's really critical right now, since the other side is targeting the balloons, there's no need to panic so much. After understanding the situation, let's think about a battle plan. After all, we are a team."
The two looked at Yē Mǎ Shǐ, who originally looked like a delinquent.
"Could it be... this demon..."
Yē Mǎ Shǐ was a little embarrassed to shout the slogan Clara had just said.
"Debidebi..."
"Is a good demon!"
Anyway, within the range of not getting hurt, just do your best with what you can.
"It seems Teacher Suki's plants are controlled by that flute. Even if we want to escape, we can only defend right now, unable to move at all. I feel like we'd be taken out if we even peeked."
"As expected of the Mother of Plants, it's like a Demon-Binding Flower that can slowly strangle even monsters... we'll also be strangled step by step..."
"We won't be strangled. This is a lesson, right? But if the balloon is popped, it's over. How do we break through, Senior?" Yē Mǎ Shǐ turned to look at Clara.
Clara tensed, then began to think.
...Strategy? Snap? Potato chips!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Clara's mind.
"Clara's biggest advantage is her imagination. Clara is a genius when it comes to interesting things."
"Then..."
Suki looked at the sky full of balloons.
"Huh? So... so many balloons!"
Clara stood on top of the vending machine and looked at Suki.
"I'll make it so you can't tell which one is real."
"Then I'll pop all of them!" Suki controlled the Gatling Daffodils and began to indiscriminately spray those balloons. However, compared to the infinite balloons, the number of seeds was still not enough. Seeing this, Suki said,
"You're quite resilient, aren't you? Then next round! All of them... huh?" Suki looked at Clara on her daffodil, a little confused. When did this guy get here?
"Hehe, Teacher Suki, I'm here."
Just a moment ago...
"Stealthily approach Teacher Suki?"
"Is there a flower that can make me fly over, Flower-chan?"
"Uh... with my ability..."
"How about that one?" Yē Mǎ Shǐ asked, pointing at the Gatling Daffodil over there.
"After firing a certain amount, it will retract its barrel."
"But if the timing isn't right... we'll be riddled with holes, won't we?"
"Don't worry about that. In terms of structure, I can clearly see it with a clenched fist. My family is a craft-based lineage."
Yē Mǎ Shǐ's family ability [Perfect Mastery]: Able to master the structure of various substances.
"Bullet commission, while it retracts to its root to replenish ammunition, for those tens of seconds of reloading, the time is now, Senior!"
"Ya-hoo!" Clara jumped directly onto the flower. Because the flower would return to its owner, so... "Eat my pepper spray bomb!" Clara put on a gas mask and sprinkled a super-sized bottle of pepper spray on Teacher Suki's face.
"Achoo! Achoo! Flute! Achoo! Can't blow it anymore!"
"Hehe, pepper spray operation successful! Now run!"
The two first-year students looked at their balloons.
"It's so great that the balloons are safe, Senior is amazing!" Stolo F Watro said excitedly.
"Hehehe, it was fun, right!"
...Yes! Thank you, Senior.
Bang! The sound of a balloon popping.
