An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 379: Emergency

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa!?"

"Monster!!"

"Help meeeeeeeee!!"

 Monsters appear one after another from inside the hole. Some monsters I've seen before, and others I haven't.

"Everyone, calm down!! Please act in a calm manner!!"

 Nishiwaki-senpai shouts. However, that voice does not reach in this space where there are many ordinary students who are panicking.

 I look at the Student Council President. She should be able to reach out to everyone.

"..."

 But she does not open her mouth, she just watches and waits.

 Why exactly. Don't you need to run away?

"Everyone in the Exploration Club, please respond immediately under Saotome-senpai's instructions!! Saotome-senpai, please."

"O, ou!!"

 Just when I think the Student Council President isn't saying anything, Kanzaki-senpai gives Saotome-senpai instructions with a sharp attitude. Saotome-senpai gets a little flustered, then regains himself and starts to move.

"Members of the Dungeon Exploration Club must gather immediately!! Right now!!"

 Saotome-senpai shouts out loud.

"Let's go!!"

"Ou!!"

"Nn."

"Let's go, desu."

 We immediately run to Saotome-senpai.

"Sympathy!!"

 While we're doing that, Kanzaki-senpai's voice echoes. At the same time, blue waves are emitted from Senpai's body in a circular pattern.

 The waves spread throughout the auditorium.

"Everyone!! Please calm down!! There are many explorers and guards at our school!! It's safe, so please follow the guards' instructions and start evacuating!!"

 Kanzaki-senpai's voice reverberates along with the undulation of the waves.

"What was that just now?"

"I don't know. But, somehow I feel like my thoughts are clearer."

 When I mutter while running, Aki says something like that.

"H, huh? I wonder why I was so scared."

"Right. Anyway, we can't fight, so let's follow the lead and evacuate."

"That's right."

 Looking around, the students who were panicking suddenly calm down and run towards the people guiding them to evacuate.

 What exactly is this.

"Psychic Skills."

 Shia answers directly from behind me.

"I see, so that's what it was. Even so, Kanzaki-senpai is strong at the last minute. To be able to act so calmly in an emergency."

"It's true. We explorers may be safe to some extent, but if ordinary people get close to monsters, it will be nothing but fear for them who aren't explorers. It wouldn't be strange for them to lose their composure, and they did just now. Thanks to Senpai, they didn't panic."

 I don't know what the reasoning behind this is, but it seems that the wave just before had the effect of calming the mind of those who received it.

 Moreover, it was not only affecting the students, but also the monsters who seemed to be excited as they came out of the dungeon.

 The monsters' movements suddenly slowed down, and the momentum they had just now seems like a lie. I feel like their excitement has been sucked away.

 Thanks to that, we are able to reach Saotome-senpai before the monsters are scattered.

"It looks like everyone has gathered. Then, people with D-rank or higher qualifications will be responsible for subjugating monsters. First-year students with lower qualifications, follow Kisaragi's instructions and help guide the evacuation with the guards, and if a monster that can be subjugated goes outside, I ask you to respond. Kisaragi, I'm counting on you."

 Saotome-senpai looks around us, confirms that everyone has gathered at this place, and tells us the division of roles.

"Yes, please leave it to me. Let's go, everyone!!"

""Roger!!""

 Kisaragi-senpai calls out to the first-year students other than me and Shia, and the first-years reply and follow Kisaragi-senpai.

"See you!!"

"Ou."

 Aki breaks up with us and goes after Kisaragi-senpai.

"As for us, each party will subjugate monsters as usual. But basically, we third-years will go first. Second-years and first-years, I ask you to deal with the oversight."

""Yes!!""

"Let's go!!"

""Ooooooohhhhh!!""

 After seeing Kisaragi-senpai and the others off, Saotome-senpai turns to us, tells us our roles, and charges towards the hole.

 Since we're in the back, we naturally scatter and stand by without saying anything to where the monsters are likely to get out.

 Senpai-tachi immediately engage the monsters and start fighting. The monsters lost their momentum, so they are defeated without any help.

 Apparently, a dungeon of a level that can be dealt with by Senpai-tachi without problems was born.

 In this case, if we take our time, it will gradually converge.

"Ha!!"

"Ya!!"

 From time to time, the second-year Senpais safely deal with the monsters that slip through the siege network, and to be frank, we are free.

 It's probably Saotome-senpai's consideration of first-years.

"Free."

"Nothing comes, desu, the monsters."

 However, as we stand there blankly, Shia can't hold back and mutters, and Noelle agrees. As for Noelle, she has the fighting power of a B-rank adventurer. She might feel that she has more free time than Shia.

"That's true, but if nothing happens, it would be better."

"Be patient."

"It can't be helped, desu."

 When I mediate with the two, I manage to hold the two of them back even though they look displeased. However, no matter how much we wait, I can't stop feeling that monsters will appear.

"Guhaa!?"

 At that time, one of the third-years is attacked and groans.

"What happened!?"

"Mo, monster's strength is increasing!! Please be careful!!"

 It seems that the state of emergency is far from over.
