D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

It was the late night of the 20th when the center exam was over.

"What does this mean?

At the University Entrance Examination Center, a strange phenomenon that had not existed before last year was being discussed in the department that was compiling the scores for the Center Examination.

We found lots of places where students with consecutive test numbers were filled with high scores with almost the same score.

Not to mention the fact that the series of consecutive test numbers were identical in elective subjects, and even incorrect answers focused on the same question.

Moreover, it was an inadvertent mistake to be mistaken for a more difficult question.

However, it is not normally possible to cheat in a seat where there are many people, regardless of the adjacent seat.

"This could be...."

"Like telepathy?

That was discussed after December 25 of last year.

Since January 13th was Sunday this year, the center examination was the slowest 19th to 20th, but it could not be said that measures would be taken in the meantime.

For the college entrance examination center, it was a clear weather thunderbolt.

"Wow, don't you think the average score yields some crazy numbers?

"What happens to the adjustment?

"If the preparatory schools were organized, the spread would not be stupid. The subjects chosen by the audience are exactly the same, so there is a huge possibility that there will be a difference."

"According to the information, the distance through the telepathy seems to be inside a 20m circle, so I don't think it's a big spread... at most 100 people."

"Unless there's another group that did the same thing."

If there is information about the seat where the exam number is placed, it can be compared to the score to suspect possible fraud.

But it won't prove it.

"But unlike regular school tests, you take exams. The goal is to kick them down, but I don't know why they're trying to score high."

"Well, social power relationships... I don't want to think about it, but it must be money."

"I'm sure there's a student who wants to pass the doctor's stupid son..."

"Much more certain than the back entrance, and less likely to be suspected of fraud. In that case, there will be a small number of people, so the impact on the score will be small. It's not like we're involved."

"I'm sorry for the student, but I'd like to say that the fraudulent range is small and we didn't notice anything."

They just do this work as a job and don't usually think about individual students.

It is decided that it would be better not to stand a wave of blame as much as possible.

An interim summary of the average scores is scheduled to be announced on January 23.

They looked at the monitor of the system that was grading and aggregating, and prayed from the bottom of their hearts that there were no big anomalies in the numbers at that time.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

On January 25, at the Dungeon Management Division of JDA Ichigaya headquarters, an inquiry was received from the section chief, Saiga.

"Do you want to identify the D card holder?

"Yes, a college entrance exam center is asking if there is a way to determine if a candidate owns a D-card at the exam venue."

A college entrance examination center?

Thinking about the timing, I'm sure it's a big deal, but the center exam should be over by now... that means something went wrong with the score.

"Okay. I need you to talk to Legal and Systems Management and secure the conference room."

"I understand."

There are countless tests in the world.

There is a risk that the social system itself will collapse if it is not properly stopped here.

After the release of Christmas, everyone began to have a problem with JDA, which had no countermeasures in place, but there was no department specializing in the impact of the dungeon on society.

At best, it's about the PR department, but this is different from PR. Forced interference is a kind of preventive law, but it basically has strong implications for preventing employee scandals.

"It's a project that will eventually come around us....."

The Dungeon Management Division only wants to manage the dungeon, but in fact, Explorer management is also part of the business.

The extension was well thought out.

"I think it's the job of the Dungeons Agency to predict the impact of dungeons on society in advance and keep that impact to a minimum...."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Three hours later, in the small meeting room, a meeting was held to determine whether the content of the inquiry was feasible.

"I don't think it's a problem to disclose whether a person is a WDA member. If someone other than JDA manages the entrance to the dungeon, they will be asked to present a card to confirm the entry conditions, so it will be treated as an equivalent."

The legal clerk said that while looking at the materials at hand.

"I have a question about how to best handle an inquiry."

However, this inquiry is likely to take place on a large scale in a short period of time.

I didn't usually have enough capacity to make such inquiries.

When I heard that, a member of the system management staff raised their hand.

Can I talk to you for a second?

"The world's ID cards are great, but the WDAID is the ID for managing registered humans. So it's hard to tell if a person has a WDAID."

He looked around the participants and said.

"You will probably be searching by name and date of birth, but if someone with the same name was born on the same day, it will naturally malfunction."

After all, this time the subject is a student. There will be plenty of examples of the same birthday.

There are more than 1500 people with the same birthday if we don't consider the Ronin, even if we think about the probability.

"If it matches your registered address, it will be you, but on the contrary, if your registered address and your current address are different, it will not match, and even if you make a mistake, it will naturally not match."

Of course, registrants must notify JDA of any changes to their personal information.

However, it's not that there are penalties for forgetting to notify, it's just a matter of not receiving the mail, but the mail from JDA to members is currently zero, except for the first card.

There can be no example of you forgetting or not changing your address.

He moved his fingertips on the desk nervously and affirmed, "If you prove ownership, you'll be a monkey."

"First of all, is it quite impossible to check on-site and manually? For example, the center exam pass has only a name and gender, as well as a birthday and a photo. It's crazy to ask for an address and enter it manually."

Depending on the venue, there are more than 4500 students. Manual confirmation can take up to 25 hours, even 20 seconds per person.

Do you want to do it all at once in close proximity to 700 locations across the country? It's a project that I want to throw out even if I think about the cost.

"In reality, you will enter your exam number. Therefore, it is conceivable that the system will contact JDA after obtaining the keywords necessary for searching from the center."

"Is that legally okay? At least I don't think it's possible for us to be able to extract personal information directly from the entrance exam center without changing the terms."

The legal man was silently listening to the argument, but raised his hand and opened his mouth when he touched the legal part.

"In this case, the JDA simply answers the query whether or not it owns a WDAID, so it's legal, as I said at the beginning."

"I mean, at the end of the application deadline, if you answer the inquiry in one place, there will be no instantaneous load on the system. Long live."

That's what the system development guy said, shrugging his shoulders to give up.

"It doesn't make sense to get a WDA card afterwards."

In the case of center examinations, there is a period of about three months after the application is closed.

"The biggest problem is the D card, right? Some people may have a WDAID but not a D card, and some people may actually have a D card without a WDA card.

From our point of view, it is difficult, but the WDA was founded after the emergence of the dungeon. I can't say I'm not here.

The most admission centers will not demand that much. There can't be a lot of such special people.

"After all, we have to leave it to the self-declaration of the students."

"In a later investigation, if there is a lie in the declaration, we will have to reduce the points and create rules that will disqualify you."

"After all, is it difficult to confirm at the site?

Saiga told me to summarize the discussion to date.

"That's right. Wouldn't it be realistic for us to prepare services and APIs in advance and have them carry out inquiries directly from the other computer?

I have prepared a contact point. That's why you should devise your own use.

"If there is anything we can do together, we will stop issuing WDA cards to students for a certain period of time before taking the exam."

In the case of a preliminary investigation, after the inquiry from the testing center, to close the hole in obtaining the WDA card.

In that case, because you can't play at your age in the case of Ronin life, unless you can access the application information of the examination center from JDA, you will be able to take it away.

"Okay, thank you for your opinion. Details of the results will be summarized in our section and sent to each department. I'll start a formal project if I have to.

The meeting thus closed.

The participants left the meeting room with a slight annoyance.

"But this is finally the day."

Sort of. The sports world also feels like it stinks, but it's pathetic to say that the old state is still true to the reality of science fiction and fantasy. Because the modern social system itself is not up to date, there will be many things in transition. "

"I can't just avoid non-Explorers coming in with pine lights."

"Stop it, you're imagining being burned."

Without listening to it, Saiga was deeply sympathetic.

So, in the conference room where nobody was gone, he was deeply resting on his chair, looking at the minutes of the current meeting.

"Like the status measuring device of D Powers, even if it is a judging device that can be easily understood on the spot...."

Research on D-cards has hardly progressed.

Rather, since it was found that the materials were common, the research itself had not been carried out.

Because the very existence was too fantastic and inexpensive, and the use of the card itself was unavailable, and now that the WDA card has become popular as a replacement, the value of the research has decreased.

It seems that the party system has been publicly released again, but that was only a month ago.

A judgment device, a dream, a dream...

"Wait a minute.

Speaking of which, when Naruse had previously reported the measuring device, he said something about its drawbacks....

Saiga quickly got up and left the conference room, and took her phone out in the lobby and called Misaki Naruse.

Yes, it's Naruse.

Saiga.

"Chief?"

"You said something about the flaws of the D Powers status measuring device. Look, how about non-Explorer measurements?"

"Oh, the status measuring device can't measure the status of a human without getting a D-card. The weakness is that people who don't have a D card don't have a status."

"That's it!

"What is it, Chief?

"Oh, no, I'll explain later. Thank goodness."

"No, I hope it helps. Bye."

When Saiga returned to her desk, she began writing a report on her inquiry. After all, it was a D Powers project, so I had to do it myself.

By the time I wrote it down, it was already past my retirement time.

Today is Friday.

In the end, this information will reach the center and D Powers around each department only after the week starts.
