WHAT A JOKE!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So you’re saying I’M the one who used reverse-string weaponry to hurt Maddelena!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
At least that’s the record left by the system.
.

I reviewed last night’s combat exercise records and rewatched the footage.
Maddelena’s last opponent was you,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Fuchsia.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I have NO IDEA what you’re talking about-
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I was never at the training facility last night!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then,
Where were you last night?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Of course,
I was in my dorm last night!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Audrey can--
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…that’s right,
Your roommate Audrey Grove has already been disqualified and left the facility.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No one can give you an alibi.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Dammit…!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I know why you suspect me. You’re correct, I’m a hitman.
But hitman is just another way of calling us mercenaries.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As a mercenary,
The most important thing is our reputation.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Do you REALLY think anything good can come from me harming agents in the very organization that pays me?
What would be in it for me?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I understand your reasoning,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But the incriminating evidence is strong. I can’t just recklessly believe you based on your word alone.
.
.
.
.
At the very least…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…the victim must provide a different testimony in order to change the existing judgement.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.

Maddelena!!
.

.
.
.

.
.

.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…forget it.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Whatever.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This examination is poorly designed; if I’m disqualified, I’m disqualified!
WHO CARES!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Fuchsia, wait!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Bai Mo…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As Urbino’s leader,
Shouldn’t I be taking care of everyone?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Rest assured,
I understand her.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Clack, Clack
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…Now,
Maddelena Leary.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Was Fuchsia actually the one that hurt you?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…it was really late that day,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And the combat arena was pretty dark. I couldn’t tell for sure…
Sorry.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I see.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then,
Maddelena…
.
.
.
Chief Nobunaga,
I…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I want to quit the assessment.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What…?
.
.
.
.
.
Wh-
Why?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Celestia already told me,
That it’s going to take quite a while for my body to recover.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In order to gain points during the assessment, one must attend training and combat exercises every day.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
With my current health situation, there’s no hope for me to catch up.
So…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I still feel hurt.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Not in body…
But here.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your…
Heart?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
How do I say this…
I never thought there really are people that would use such terrifying combat techniques in a test and hurt others…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I don’t know what they’re doing it for…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But--
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’m scared…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Very, very scared…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
If even this makes me scared,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
How could I be eligible to join Blue Parasol?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But-
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Exactly.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Captain!
.
.
.
.
.

.
Michele…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Thank you for always caring for me…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
However…
I’m sorry.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I hope we’ll have an opportunity in the future to fight together.
