"The skill of the famous detective ...... very good indeed, if it is a puzzle game, basically you are invincible, huh? Speaking of which, I still have the impression of me playing a similar puzzle game before I came here, it seemed that there is a panda in that game......"

"That's the monokuma, no panda."

How can a panda's eyes be red ......

"Right, right, that's its name."

Aliyah said with an expression of dawning realization.

"Hey ......"

I looked at her helplessly.

"Why don't you help find it too, don't you have any search skills?"

"No oh, all I have learned is the attack abilities."

How can you say it so proudly?

"Okay, I knew it."

"What's wrong! Is there a mistake?"

"...... Although you are right, but you have completely spent all your ability points in an extreme way. If you meet a mage specific in control, what shall you do? For example, I directly slowed you down by half, then I can directly kill you before you get close to me."

"Hmph! When the time comes, I naturally have my method."

This guy's unconquerable character is really worrying.

"Okay, okay, now let's try to figure out the source of this so-called strange coma event. I'm not good at this, so I don't usually play any puzzle games either."

"I always look up the walkthrough."

"Can't you say that without being so proud?"

"No, because I'm proud of it."

"God, why I can only find you as my teammate ......"

I can’t help but raised my head in forty-five angles to look up at the sky to denounce this inhumane world.

"Ha? Why are you complaining about me this fine lady being your teammate?"

I feel something like a knife is against my waist!

"No, it is better than nothing ...... It seems we can only split up to see how large the range of this coma is, so that we can also guess the location of its center."

As I spoke, I walked quickly away to the side, I don't want to be threatened with a knife.

But Aliyah still followed quickly.

"Hey, don't you think two people together can search faster than going in two separate directions?"

"Anyone who has played Left X Dead knows that moving separately will get you killed sooner."

She actually said very seriously.

"Sorry, I end up betraying my teammates all the time, so no pressure."

"Why can you say something like this so proudly too?"

"Because I can complete any shooting game, so no pressure."

"One day you will be condemned by God! By the way, won't you explain how you suddenly went from level 13 to level 18?"

Did this guy finally notice that my level has changed?

"The experience from 13 to 18 is simply too much. A week ago, you were clearly level 13, why did you actually level up so much? Did you kill some hidden bosses?"

"No, I just completed a hidden quest."

"Hidden quest? By the way, the quest system has indeed become more obvious recently, but there's no place to take quests at all."

"No quests?"

"Yes."

"What do you usually do?"

"Increase my proficiency on the practice field."

"What is proficiency?"

"The proficiency of dual swordsman, there is a requirement of the proficiency of all weapons for every melee combat occupation, and it is just that proficiency’s level up speed will be more accelerated."

"...... Well, how could you get any quest if you don't walk around?"

"Shouldn't I take quests from people with exclamation marks on their heads?"

I froze for a few seconds when I heard that.

"Are you kidding me? Where to find a guy with an exclamation mark on his head here! You've been playing too many RPGs, okay? You have to find the guy with the exclamation mark on his head to take the mission! You can't even get the top reward in any Kiseki game, right? How could it be possible that are all t people with quests will have exclamation marks on their heads!"

"But this world looks like an RPG."

"You wouldn't have gotten to level 14 without taking any quests after coming out of the newbie village, would you? You are too diligent in killing monsters.

"No sometimes I will suddenly receive a mission or something else, but I am not very clear."

"......"

This guy is really hopeless ......

"Now listen carefully, generally speaking, If you see a strange event, you can immediately get close to it and you will absolutely find a task, okay? Look at this situation now, the whole school is in a coma, so it is a big event for sure, and didn’t it say that you could level up after you finish this mission before?"

"Oh, yeah oh, it says level up by two."

Two? Is it because this guy's level is lower than mine so she could level up more?

"So, If I take more and more quests, than I can level up."

"...... Well, don't understand it at all."

"Are you an idiot?"

"Why don't I transfer to your school and team up with you, and then you just team up with me every time you have a mission."

"Are you planning to completely be lazy in any job?"

"Don't you need a melee occupation to assist you as a mage?"

I silently took my katana out.

"It's fine, I'm just afraid that they won't treat me as a mage, I can cut them if I get them in my range directly."

"What is your occupation actually, assassin mage or combat mage? You really chose such an unpopular occupation?"

"...... more or less, I guess? You can consider me choosing a special occupation that could learn and use any skill."

"You are really casual ...... You won’t have any DPS in the future if you don’t specialize in one occupation."

"Let's discuss it later ...... Well, stop chatting. We've been walking for so long, and we almost reach the academy fence, but why are the people around are still asleep ...... eh?"

How does the academy's fence look a little strange?

I remember that I had a closer look when I go out at night, should this thing be iron? Why does it look earthy now?

"Wait ......"

As soon as I had just sounded the alarm. a spike suddenly stabbed out of the wall and went straight through Aliyah and my abdomen at once.

!

Aliyah's HP was instantly empty, and my HP was instantly 2/3 less!

I grabbed Aliyah's hand directly, and launched my teleportation at the same time.

In the next second, we returned to the location of the restaurant just now.

"...... so painful ......"

Aliyah's abdomen is squirting blood uncontrollably, and Her HP was empty, which indicates that she had entered a near-death state.

What the hell ...... what the hell was that?
