"What's the next move?"
In the service center, several tables were specially set up for those who got shot to sit and write revival exam papers.
After revival, you could either go to the safe area nearby to collect equipment, or you could rest and discuss tactics there after receiving the equipment.
The group of little sisters—Tachibana Rui, Shirogane Kei, and Fujiwara Moeha, gathered in the safe zone to discuss the next strategy with worried expressions.
"The murder situation outside is insane. Everyone is blending in like that. Even if you manage to get their badges, it won't be long before someone else takes them..."
Kei showed a hint of reluctance.
In the first ten minutes of the event, they did manage to get a lot of badges thanks to their teamwork.
But because the whole school was full of enemies, the competition was about who could identify who and who could get attacked first. Even if they moved forward cautiously as a group, they would be hit by the crazy players shooting at anyone. At a glance, they had no choice but to come and write papers for revival.
Moreover, as rare middle school contestants, they were all girls with very charming appearances. The senior groups preferred to target the three of them. Even if there were other targets, they would start shooting with enthusiastic expressions even if there were other targets nearby.
Although those who were too lecherous were all "shot" by Moeha with a sweet smile, and sometimes she "accidentally" fired a few more shots in their groin.
But if this public criticism continued, basically they would lose the gaming experience during this event... So it would be better to take off their equipment and participate in the school festival.
"We need to change our strategy..." Rui frowned as she thought, "Instead of hunting down others' badges, what we need to think about now is how to hold onto a certain number of badges and survive until the end of the game."
"We have to keep fighting in chaos like this..." Moeha shook her head sweetly, "Oh, if we find Asada-senpai, we might be able to rely on Kei and Rui's beauty traps, and get fifty points~"
Hearing this, Kei's expression remained unchanged, but her fair cheeks were slightly pink, pretending not to hear.
Rui replied without hesitation: "Don't think about it. Even if that person doesn't have a camera, he will never let us go in a game like this... With his childish character, he might even be worse than the previous group and it's not impossible for him to deliberately shoot at your chest."
"Rui-chan, isn't that too much?" With a slightly serious expression, Kei reluctantly said, "It's true that Senpai can sometimes be childish, but I don't think it's appropriate to shoot a girl in the chest... Maybe."
"That's just too much." Rui looked at Kei sideways and smiled, "You haven't confirmed your relationship yet, but now you're so eager to defend him... Kei-chan, you have no hope."
"W-Who's desperate!" Kei glared back, not wanting to lose, "It's you, Rui, who still thinks of doing what you do to Senpai after you enter high school. Don't you think it's too late? It's better to give up as soon as possible?"
"He's my cousin. I can find him anytime. It's never too late." Rui remained calm as usual.
"He lives downstairs in my house. I can go downstairs to ask him for homework anytime. I can also go shopping with him on holidays." Kei said calmly.
"Isn't your older brother's grades also very good? Just ask him if he doesn't mind going down, haha."
"Nii-san is preparing for college entrance exams. It's my duty not to disturb him with trivial things like this. I wish a certain little sister could have this awareness, hmph."
"I won't lose to you..."
"At the moment you realize that you've lost, everything is already too late..."
The two girls glared at each other.
At this moment, a girl who regarded this solemn atmosphere as nothing appeared, stood in the middle of the fiery gazes easily and happily, and patted their shoulders.
"Okay, okay~ Senpai has decided to be a scoundrel, so what's the point of you arguing here?"
"There's no argument!" They said in unison.
Indeed, although the atmosphere seemed slightly tense, they actually had no intention of quarreling about "that guy" or influencing their friendship.
Not worth it.
"That's good~" Moeha smiled irrelevantly, looking at the large cardboard box containing activity equipment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands joyfully.
"Right! I've thought of a good way, please wait for me here!"
After saying that, she couldn't wait to take off her equipment and run towards the teaching building.
Rui and Kei looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what she was thinking.
Shortly after, Moeha returned to the safe zone.
With a stack of thick cardboard boxes.

Lying on the hidden high platform on the second floor of the teaching building, Rizu looked through binoculars, and her eyes behind the lenses calmly observed the small team passing below.
The number of people, four.
Their equipment included regular simulation pistols, two rifles exchanged for badges, and a light machine gun.
Somewhat complicated, were they supposed to be the strongest team in this area?
According to the rules, badges can be exchanged at any time, as long as the quantity is sufficient, they can be exchanged for magazines, stronger firearms, or special props. This is not clearly stated, so students who find them first can easily rely on them. Quickly change equipment to gain an advantage.
Although she is not skilled at playing board games, Rizu is not afraid of anyone when it comes to direct gunfire.
This is not because her father taught her shooting skills in Hawaii, but because her strong analytical and computational abilities allow her to quickly calculate bullet trajectories, the most reasonable attack methods, and action methods to gain an advantage.
Whatever the game, she refuses to lose. Her strong obsession has become her strongest weapon. As if she were truly engaged in war, her usually slow hands and feet become more flexible, allowing her to dominate the game.
"Can I handle these four people in five seconds... Um, I have to be serious."
Muttering to herself, Rizu adjusted the sniper rifle she exchanged for her badge, and placed her finger on the trigger.
Her breath gradually became calmer.
The cold wind blew her short hair, and her petite body remained motionless like a statue.
In her scope, the four individuals were very clear targets, like large, slow-moving targets.
Wind direction, wind speed, footsteps, movement speed, action mode...
Arranging, formulating formulas, and finding solutions...
The next moment, she pulled the trigger.
*Bang*
No doubt, and she didn't even care if she got shot or not.
*Bang bang bang*
She quickly pulled the pistol bolt with her hand and perfected its muzzle.
One shot per second, four shots fired in four seconds.
A regular sharpshooter might not be able to do this, but a specially modified simulation weapon could.
Screams were heard from below.
"Phew..."
Letting her heart return to its normal rhythm, Rizu rubbed her sore eyes and looked into the binoculars again.
"Yes, they're all dead." she nodded lightly, tossing a ball from above, and instructed the four individuals to place their badges on the grass nearby. She would take them later.
The only problem for the sharpshooter was that she had to retrieve her own badge, if this were a real battlefield, she might be attacked and killed while checking her badge.
After watching the four individuals obediently place their badges and walk towards the service center wearing bright red vests, Rizu also began to pack up her sniper rifle and prepare to descend to retrieve her badge.
At this moment, she saw something strange appearing through the binoculars.
"What is that?"
It was too troublesome to look through binoculars while wearing glasses, so Rizu just lay on the edge of the high platform and looked down from above.
A monster made of cardboard boxes slowly passed through the corridor.
Someone unconsciously aimed a pistol towards it, but didn't know where to shoot. Shooting at the cardboard body would just waste bullets, and even if they wanted to shoot the person hidden inside, they would have to get closer first.
But before that, the three pistols protruding from the holes would eliminate the opponent first.
"Use the cardboard box to block the only weak point, the vest, and use ironclad tactics to ensure survival..."
Facing this monster, Rizu as a sharpshooter had no choice but to sigh above and wait for the monster to leave before descending to retrieve her badge.
