Instant Death

Elevators aren't normally available.

Walking down the hallway about Van, there was a door that automatically opened and closed, and as they entered, they moved quietly.

There is a number of floors above the door, and the lamp is lit to indicate the current floor.

"Was there anything similar in the world of the Hana River?"

"There was something almost as it was.Did you say something like you came from a different world? "

"A candidate for wisdom, coming from outside the continent, is mostly a summons to the other world by a wise man."

"Huh? Sure, I'm a smart candidate, and I didn't mean to hide anything from you, but is it because of the potential overflowing with selfish people?"

Van seems pretty strong and has an unknown atmosphere.I wondered if I had seen the hidden power of the Hana River.

"Ahahah, the Hana River is too unlikely."

"You've been told so lightly!"

"Summoned Sage candidates are marked.So it's obvious you were summoned by Theon. "

"Is that something anyone can understand?"

"I think you'll understand how Battle Song works.Well, not everybody understands if you're a wise man. "

"Well, that sounds cheerful to a wise man, but do you know him?"

We have come to this continent to find the wise.If you know anything about the Sage's whereabouts, it will be a souvenir when we meet in the night fog.

"Yeah, I'm a smart guy too."

"What is it?!?"

Hanakawa was deeply surprised that he didn't expect to suddenly meet the wise man here.But if you ask me, I think I've heard the name Van.

--It seems that during the drafting meeting, the representative of the Perm Continental Council and I were asked about the wise man and taught him something....No, but this isn't good!? Takao has been killing many wise men, and if he thinks he's one of them, he'll be an enemy!

"Hahaha, you're too surprised.But all wise people like to do it on their own.Did the wise man do something to you by the time you got here?But don't worry. It's true that I want to help people.I'm not going to harm the Hana River, and if you want to leave, I'm going to help you. "

"Ah... well... it's certainly a long way from Yoshifumi, the wise man..."

"Yoshifumi, I'm surprised you can compare it to that."

Van distorted his straight face a little.It seemed like a rush, but I really don't like it.

"I'm sorry! I didn't have a good memory!"

"I don't care."

"Well, why is Van a student in school when he's a wise man?You're in charge of this continent, right? "

"I'm in charge, but it's just about defeating incoming invaders, and you're free to go.That's why it's okay if I'm a student here. "

I wonder how the wise man treats society.Some people build empires, become emperors, rule them easily, others cow the world from behind, and others become students in school.

Apparently, there is nothing like a unified statue of the wise.

"Speaking of wise people, I think it's quite strong, but is it still a first year student?"

"Strength and grades don't always correspond.There's no doubt that third-graders tend to be stronger. "

Van didn't say he wasn't strong.I know what I'm capable of and take it for granted

"Well, if you're a wise man, why can't you help me?"

"Hmm, that's hard.First of all, I'm only a first-year student at this school, so I don't have the authority to officially take you out.And if I let you out in an unofficial way, I'll be guilty.Well, maybe that's why I'm in school.I don't want this environment to be threatened. "

"Ha ha, but still thinking a lot about helping the awkward is a good person!"

After all, he was only trying to push the sin against people, so it was doubtful whether he could be said to be a good man, but Hanagawa didn't mention it.

"Thank you. You can praise me more, but I think it would be nice if I could actually thank you.Now, I'm upstairs. "

The slightly vibrating elevator became quiet and the door opened.When I went out and walked a little, I found myself in a hall lined with many tables.

This looks like a cafeteria.I wonder if it was noon, it was crowded with students.

Well, shall we eat something?If you haven't eaten anything since morning, you'll be hungry.I'll take care of this. "

"I don't want that, but what about the currency here?"

"I have a special currency for school.The money is tied to the student ID, so nothing exists.You can show me your student ID when you shop. "

"Hah... it's higher tech than I thought... huh?Doesn't that mean I have nothing to say here? "

The precious metals are in the item box, but if they can't be redeemed, that's it.

"Do you think the admission money is being charged?Take a look at your student ID. "

"Did you get something like that?"

Hanakawa checked his uniform pocket.Then there was a card in the inner pocket.

The card contained personal information such as a photo of his face and name, as well as money in his possession.Apparently 10000C has already been deposited.

"Heh, how do we get more of this?"

"I deposit enough money every day to make a minimum living.If you want to be luxurious, you can earn a bonus if you score well in exams, training, or work against members of a hostile organization. "

"I see... this is not a bad idea... no, I don't need to be forced to do life saving training!"

"What, you didn't like that?I think it's going to be easier than Ingrid demands. "

"Again, that's it, isn't it?You're saying the unconscious character took it, right?It's that simple. Anyone can do it, right? "

"No, it's really easy. Here."

"Look, did you just do something?"

"I've lifted the Hana River level cap and raised it by about 500.With this much, it would be a minimum strength as a first-year student, so I think it's probably okay. "

"Eh? That's not going to be easy... I'm not saying that!"

Hanakawa tried to check her status with half-heartedness.With the addition of a Level Up Ability, the level at 99 was 599.

"What do you mean!"

"We can stand at the entrance, so let's sit down first."

They took their seats at an empty table.The order seemed to be made from the terminal on each table, and Van did not ask Hanagawa anything and properly manipulated the terminal to order.

"So, what do you mean?!There was no pretense of awakening even when I was about to die! "

"Ahahah, what a waste of dying eyes."

Van laughed so innocently.I don't seem to be offended at all, but I didn't feel good about the Hana River if it was gently washed away after that kind of eye.

"Well, that's fine. Does this mean that Van has a unique ability?"

"No, I don't think anyone who can handle Battle Songs can.You're the smart guy who installed the Battle Song system in the first place, right?You can change or add settings to some extent. "

"Ah! Then why don't you just give me some more powerful abilities!"

"Isn't that because of Theon's policy?Sometimes I wake up from being pushed into a critical situation, as Hanakawa just said.The ability to do that is much more powerful than the ability to add easily with configuration changes. "

"By the way, though! Would you be able to make it stronger?"

"Hahaha. I guess the Hana River is greedy.But honesty is good. There are limits to what you can easily do here, but what do you want to do about the Hana River? "

"That's right. Self-healing, I don't think we have much healing power, but we're short on attack.I always thought it would be possible to improve the area. "

"I see. Jobs are tough on healers.Shall we change jobs? "

"Oh, I don't think we can do that!"

"Yeah, it's hard to get a job that has nothing to do with it... yeah.There's a monk in the healer hierarchy.Would you like to change it to this? "

"Oh, that's it, isn't it?You must be the one who saw Wu, right?The attack is getting stronger! "

"That's right. You can learn skills related to melee fights and have bonuses when using claws, spears, and sticks.You can use your energy to temporarily increase your abilities or fly your mind ammunition, so you can also handle long-range combat.My abilities as a healer remain intact, so I'm sure I'll be strong. "

"I would definitely like to ask... but is there any side effect?!Awkward, I can't help but think that a good story has its back, because we're seeing a lot of bad things in this world! "

"It's no risk at all.It's easy to undo, so I think you can try it easily. "

"Well, that's not true... because you've already raised your level on your own!Now! I want you to do it. "

I got it!

"Don't go too far!"

"That's why I said it was easy."

Hanagawa checked the status.

The job is Monk and the level remains 599.Skills were gaining Combat, Practice, Air Bullets, Polishing, Claw Mastery, Spear Mastery, and Stick Mastery.

"Oops! You're up all at once!"

"So you can try a lot.Skills can be used to increase proficiency, increase power, and gain new skills. "

"Hey... I didn't think I'd grow any more, so I'm impressed.This isn't going to work so well here..... "

It was a river of flowers with a quick determination to escape.I don't want to be forced to do special training for life, but I might be able to live in unexpected peace if I can make it easier.

"Yes, I don't know how good it is, but the Hana River is down there somewhere.It's a little higher than the lowest rank, so you shouldn't get on too well. "

Earlier, Van said it would take years for the Hana River to become useless.If it means that it will still take a few years to get Van's support, it won't be the case.

"I know a lot about that.When I shook up the force that gushed down, it was just a strong turn of the tail.At best, I'll be quiet. "

"So, what do we do? If you want to do well, I can help you."

"Ugh... that's not a problem... but for now, let's give priority to escape.If not, one in the direction of staying..... "

"All right, that might be enough for now.I don't think it's possible to stay after a failed escape, so I'll leave the identification to Hanagawa. "

"That's right. Escape will include sabotage, and I don't think it will be enough if it fails.So, what exactly do we do now? "

"There are a lot of people here.I thought I'd fix someone who might be able to use it. "

"Well, getting out of here on your own is a felony, right?"

"Yeah, it's the death penalty."

"I'm not going to say it lightly... I know it could be the death penalty, but I wonder if there are still people who can help me."

"It's okay. If anyone can use it, just brainwash it."

--Ah, this guy is not natural.

Quite simply, I ran scared on the back of the Hana River.

From what I've said and done so far, it seems true that they're trying to help the Hana River.But I don't know how long it'll last.It is no wonder that I have harmed the Hana River on some whim.

--But now I guess I'll have to rely on Lord Van...

Hanagawa was unlikely to be able to break the status quo by herself.No matter how dangerous Van might be, Hanagawa was angry that he would have to go out with him for now.
