"Hmm, have you investigated what's going on with that octopus monster?" Goat Face lay on a rocking chair, with countless luxury goods and food beside him.
The man looked at the carefree appearance of Goat Face and Gloomy Man, frowned involuntarily, and finally said helplessly: "Pretty much figured it out."
"Oh~" Goat Face sat up, then looked at the man and said, "Why don't you enjoy yourself too~ Is it necessary to keep pretending like that? Didn't you also jump right in back then?"
"..." The man was silent for a while, then said, "Business comes first."
"It seems that ordinary bullets are useless against that octopus; only these BB pellets are effective against it." The man said, then a look of disbelief appeared on his face. "There is another thing I don't quite believe either. It is said that the octopus's maximum speed can reach Mach 20."
"Pfft! This is definitely a lie, right? Mach 20? Are you kidding me?" Goat Face spat out the red wine in his mouth, not caring at all about the '97 Romanée-Conti, with an expression that said 'are you messing with me'.
"That's why I specifically investigated several times, and the results in the reports were all the same." The man's face also looked a bit helpless.
"Mach 20, huh? If it wants to escape, it's impossible to kill it, right?" Gloomy Man also sat up, his face becoming even gloomier.
"Escape? If it's true, it's a question of whether we can even beat it at all." Goat Face cursed.
"That octopus seems to be a teacher, right?" Gloomy Man asked suddenly.
"Yeah, it seems to be a quite responsible teacher too." The man said. Although it felt ridiculous, a monster teacher, the investigation showed it was indeed the case.
Hearing this, Gloomy Man showed a weird smile. "Then we can target these students. If it really is very responsible, then we will have a chance."
"It seems that's all we can do." The man sighed and wanted to go out to continue investigating.
"Eh~ come over and play, let's keep calling a few more ladies over." Goat Face teased.
"No need." Saying this, the man opened the door, and then he saw a pair of crimson eyes, and that brilliant blade light.
"Slash!" Without any hesitation, the moment the door opened, Kaede drew her blade and slashed out.
If we only talk about attributes, Kaede had only just entered LV2, so perhaps her stats weren't as good as theirs, but even so, under these circumstances, one slash was enough.
There was no time left for the man to react at all. With one slash, she cut him at the waist, taking one out directly. Then, stepping over the man's corpse, Kaede looked at the two people in the room, a mocking smile appearing on her face.
"It seems you won't be able to make a move~" For some reason, when she heard they were going to make a move against the students of Class 3-E, although it was faint, Kaede still felt a trace of annoyance in her heart.
"You!" Goat Face and Gloomy Man were both startled, looking at the Tachi and that slash from just a moment ago.
"Damn it, it's actually a dual-direction mission," Gloomy Man suddenly cursed.
Then, Gloomy Man stood up and glared viciously at Kaede. Just when Kaede thought he was going to rush up to avenge the man, Gloomy Man and Goat Face jumped out of the building in perfect sync.
Only a fool would fight her; they were empty-handed right now and had no weapons.
As long as the iceberg remains, there's no fear of running out of ice cream!
Escaping first was the priority. As for the dead man, he could log in again in a month anyway. Although his attributes would reset and his initial stats might drop a bit, they would be stronger by then and wouldn't mind carrying him.
Kaede didn't chase after them, or rather, their actions had always been within their expectations. Originally, Xiao Mengxue didn't agree to do it this way because it would be very dangerous for Kaede.
But after Kaede had a duel with Xiao Mengxue, Xiao Mengxue agreed.
However, from this, Kaede also learned of Xiao Mengxue's strength; her attribute rating had already reached the peak of LV2. Next, she only needed to slay a few LV3 entities to officially step into LV3.
According to what Xiao Mengxue said about combat strength ratings, she seemed to have just entered LV2 not long ago, whereas for Kaede, her rating had been LV2 from the very beginning.
According to Xiao Mengxue, most LV2 players only had an LV1 combat strength rating; those who could reach LV2 were very few. Even that player whose attributes reached LV4 only had an LV3 combat strength rating, and that was just because of his attribute relationship.
"This is still because I studied kendo in reality. Originally, I just did it to exercise. After I learned about the strength ratings in the Myriad Worlds, I started learning it seriously. Fortunately, although I was just exercising before, I was still learning it seriously, so my strength was able to reach LV2."
Xiao Mengxue said this while looking at Kaede; upon learning from her that her strength rating had been LV2 from the start, she looked surprised.
"I have my reasons." Kaede didn't say much more. If anyone were placed into akame ga kill, the situation where the attribute rating exceeds the strength rating wouldn't happen, right?
Actually, Kaede didn't know that she had encountered someone even more monstrous: Li Chen. He hadn't lied; his attribute rating was indeed LV3, but his combat strength rating had already reached LV4.
However, those whose combat strength ratings exceeded their attribute ratings were all proud sons of heaven, favorites of the heavens; only absolute geniuses could possibly reach this level.
At the beginning, Kaede's combat strength at LV1 was able to reach LV2, but after her attributes reached LV2, although Kaede might have become stronger, her combat strength hadn't changed much.
Turning the scene back, Kaede didn't chase after them, but she wasn't worried that they could get away because Xiao Mengxue and Liu Mengqi were waiting below.
And the people here had already been cleared out by them using money; in other words, they could let loose and have a big fight.
Although she didn't know Liu Mengqi's strength, Kaede was very confident in Xiao Mengxue's, so today was the day the mission would end.
She didn't know if she could continue to stay in this world after the mission ended. If not, she would likely break her promise.
As she thought about this, the sound of the system mission completion reached Kaede's ears. Kaede wasn't surprised; after all, those two were now practically wearing nothing but floral boxers, and without weapons, their strength was mediocre to begin with, so it was impossible for them to escape Xiao Mengxue's fully prepared assault.
"The mission is complete." Kaede sighed, then turned her attention to the rewards, and then her expression became strange, because that reward was actually a drawing board...
Opening its properties, it was indeed the drawing board required for her profession. Kaede never expected that this drawing board would be sent as a reward.
This also made Kaede realize that it would probably not be easy to obtain drawing boards in the future.
"Mission completed. Does the player wish to leave this world now?"
"No." Kaede's eyes lit up as she made the choice directly.
"Selection complete. The player may remain in this world and leave at any time within one year; after one year, you will be forced to leave. Have a pleasant time."
She could stay, so she wouldn't break her promise. A smile appeared on Kaede's face. Honestly, Koro-sensei had treated her so well, and she didn't want to disappoint Koro-sensei.
Since she could stay, she would participate in that school trip. She hoped it wasn't too late.
However, what Kaede didn't expect was that Xiao Mengxue also chose to stay, the reason being that she wanted to find someone to take over her position before leaving...
It seems she really is a very responsible person~
