Instant Death

A hall that exists securely in a painting of the Wang capital.

That was one of the bases on the ground of the wise man Theon.

It is kept secret that the hall is the stronghold of the wise. Because there are quite a few who turn their blades on the wise. It would also be troublesome to say that there are no such things as people who can fathom the wise, but they will be raided but will remain.

Behind that hall. Theon was relaxed in his luxurious living room.

He's lying naughty on the couch.

In front of the couch stood Yoichi, a sage's squire.

"The demonic realm strategy of the Sage candidates has reached six levels. At this rate, it's probably only a matter of time before we get to the seventh floor."

"Really? Too easy is a problem."

Nothing. Theon says to stop the invasion of the Empire in the interest of mankind, but to attack the demon kingdom and defeat the demon gods.

It was just that I specified it because it was difficult and near impossible to achieve. It just doesn't make sense to be accomplished.

Even though they have qualities as wise men, their strength is not yet there. We need to suffer more, to be pushed, to be awakened.

"So let me give you a degree of difficulty. Let's just get out of the way."

"No, it shouldn't be easy to defeat the demon god himself..."

Iowichi frowned. I suppose you thought you were thinking about something that wasn't even Roku.

"And there was a dead man on the Sage candidate. Death itself isn't so uncommon, but it's a strange situation."

"And, okay?

"He was killed in the city. Apparently, there's someone after them. From what I've heard, a student named Ayaka Shinozaki says it was the killer, but this means the student who left it on the bus."

The ones they left on the bus were the ones who failed to install the system.

I directed it to be so, and I had confirmed that Scion had done so.

"Are you saying that three of the four people left on the bus were alive? And then I'm just curious about the fourth person."

"Oh. I've been looking at the bus. The bodies of the boys' students were left on the bus. I recovered it just in case and disposed of the bus."

"Really? You might want to be cautious about installation failures in the future."

Basically, installation failures are only compatibility issues, and a few occur each time. There has been no particular problem so far, but if there is going to be a problem by the failure to keep standing like this, vigilance will be needed.

"Don't you have to finish that?

"If revenge on your classmates is moving for a purpose, you can leave it alone. If that's going to make it more difficult, it's fine."

"So, what's that boy gonna do after all?

"Right. I'm still lost..."

The location of the high-altitude night mist is known, and Hanakawa told me about the approximation of its abilities.

I've been thinking about some of the proposed measures, and that should put an end to them, but I couldn't get rid of the creeps in one shard.

If I don't have any particular problems, I also think that I should not get my hands on it badly.

"Killing sage is obviously a problem, isn't it? I don't think you can leave me alone."

"But if you want to be killed, you can also say that it was to that extent. If your strength wasn't with you, you can't help it. And if it means killing sage, then we need to deal with Hedgehog."

The beginning in the first place was Hedgehog. Black-endowed anomaly that has a blade all over its body. That reduced the number of wise men, so they summoned the Sage candidates to fill in the Sage.

Most of it remains a mystery about Hedgehogs, and we'll have to go ahead and investigate this one as well. Thinking about that, I heard a knock through the door.

"What do you mean?

Iowichi is surprised. Because across the door is the bedroom, and there can't be anyone there.

"I see. It's a transporter door-to-door."

Encourage Zion to open the door to Yoichi.

What was revealed was a boy in uniform.

"You're a candidate for sage, Phoenix Chun."

Iowichi supplements. Because Scion doesn't remember the names of sage candidates or anything, unless he needs to.

"Sure, you can come here using the door-to-door, but how did you figure this out?

Skills that connect buildings freely, but you need to know each other's buildings to use them. But this is a secret lair, and there are only a few who know its existence.

"Right. I got a little bit of a problem, so I tried my problem solving skills."

In response to Zion's question, the Spring Man answered all the time.

"I see. The consultant's problem-solving skill is that you can do that degree of artistry if you also get to Rank 4. It's very cheesy."

Even if you don't remember the name, the class of people in front of you can find out through the system.

Problem solving skills, as the name suggests, are skills that allow you to know how to solve problems.

The general has similar skills, but that is limited to the tactical aspect. Problem solving skills give you a bigger answer.

It was Scion who installed the system, but Scion doesn't even know what class will express it. The potential of the class of consultants is also unknown.

But the Sage candidate has to be like this. Because if you only seem to be able to do things within your expectations, you don't deserve to be a wise man.

"So, what can I do for you?

"Frankly, we don't have enough time. I asked if you could extend the deadline."

The period offered by Zion is one month. In the meantime, I told you to be wise.

"Right. Deadlines are for pushing your backs, so if you're all working hard for sage, there's nothing particularly wrong with that."

What I wanted to avoid was for everyone to start living in the other world in an appropriately sloppy way.

If there is any prospect of becoming a wise man, it is not the intention to separate it all by a deadline.

"Bye."

"But it's also not funny to just extend the deadline. It's also a problem to think that you can change the terms that easily...... right. Shall we do this? Could you please finish Mr. Takamitsu at night?

"High altitude, is it?

I guess I was surprised. The Spring Man, who had been so calm all along so far, looked surprised.

"You say you can't betray your classmates or something?

"No, I'm the one who cut it off once. I'm not that useful, and I'll do it again."

"So you were wondering if such a simple thing would allow an extension of the deadline."

"Exactly."

"But it's not that simple."

Theon told him everything he could find out about the high altitude night fog.

"I see. So you can't kill by normal means, and it's payback."

"Can you do it?

Whatever happens, just let me do it and see how it goes.

What Theon expected was his problem-solving ability. So I figured I'd come up with a way to end the fog at night.

"Okay. Let's do it."

The Spring Man acknowledged.

There is no appearance of fear of night fog. Apparently, the solution had already been obtained.
