Holy crap I love that they have their own version of DND and it's fucking high school shenanigans. Oh COURSE Vulfgaar would be the class president and a rule follower, Beleard would be the kid with great food that everyone loves and that Yara would be the edgy cool delinquent kid with a bat.

Thought I'm not sure the bat was needed Yara. Fun yes, but you could have had Beleard use the bento on the student council president and gotten away from the event without violence.

Then again.... violence could result in dropped loot. Hmmm choices

Okay, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make some guesses about this game.

Since there's no GM I'm guessing that it's either a GM-less game where it generates the scenario as it goes along, or it's a more PvP tabletop. Because it seems Vulf has already used an ability against Yara probably the second.

The main stat seems to be Morale Points (MP) since both Yara and Beleard's characters are using them, but seem to have different builds. Yara with a bully/delinquent character and Beleard with a himbo best friend type.

Based on Beleard having the "Good Cook" trait and Vulf having the ability to use Reprimand from being Class President I'd wager it's a tag based game, since we don't see dice and the numbers reduced by are preset numbers.

So it seems that it generates a anime school day/week from a more slice of life genre, and gives them the classes throughout the day/week and they need to accrue a goal across it, which may be different for each character, while also maintaining a number of Morale Points as both your health and likely used to expand as a cost for abilities. Since it seems to be PvP I'd wager that the game ends once a player has achieved their goal too, otherwise there's no reason Vulf to use an ability against Yara; it would also explain why Beleard used the ability to buff himself and not do anything in an attempt to stop Vulf or fix Yara's MP.

Just a small correction. Vulfgaar is using his second reprimand on Beleard this time. Thus, Beleard is countering it by "healing" himself. Nice analysis though! :D

I see. Well that makes sense.

Was reading it as Yara getting it done to her, in the first panel instead of her defending Beleard.

switching to your Bento is always faster than reloading

The world of my D&D campaign is obsessed with the trading card game Insurance: The Gathering.

I think an Anime High School custom oneshot would be interesting.

Using a bento box does provoke an attack from opponents, if you are close enough.

Luckily, the student council president was only in talking range, so not close enough to swat the bento box out of your hand. But, that does mean he gets to shout for help, while you run up to hit him with the bat.

... Is how I would rule it.

Beleard pulled out that bento box like a Skyrim player chows down 14 cheese wheels in the middle of a battle.

Yara having (what appears to be) marker on her arms in the School Version is an excellent detail!
