Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

Zi turned her head and looked around. The students at the tea party had already left, turning the garden into a private conversation space for just the two of them. This situation made Zi a little confused.

"Wasn't the chairperson of the tea party worried that a traitor to the Holy Trinity would assassinate her? Why would she let a suspect like me be alone with her now? Isn't that too reckless?"

Azusa was worried about the safety awareness of Nagisa, the chairman of the tea party, but she immediately realized that this private environment with only her and Nagisa present seemed like the best time to confess the secret she had been hiding.

It seems that the change of mind that occurred after I infiltrated Trinity was prepared for this moment?

Thinking of this, Azusa confirmed again that there was no one else around, and Nagisa, the chairman of the tea party, was sitting in front of him, leisurely tasting the black tea in his hand.

"Now that this opportunity has been presented to me, there's absolutely no reason to turn it down."

Even though he was still trying to pass the test to get the approval of the "Mystery of the Sphinx" cassette, the person he wanted to warn was now sitting in front of him, so he should seize this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Azusa stood up from the chair without hesitation and said to the somewhat surprised Nagisa in front of him in a deep voice: "Chairman of the Holy Trinity Tea Party, please listen to me."

"Actually, I'm the person you're looking for. I'm from..."

Azusa confessed his identity, and Nagisa, who was standing opposite him, added the second half of the sentence without any surprise: "A student from Arius, right?"

Azusa, who was in the middle of introducing herself, was interrupted, a confused look on her face: "Ali...eh? You, guessed it?"

"It's just a little personal intelligence network. Don't be too surprised. This is the judgment that one of the three seats at the tea party should have."

Nagisa smiled and tapped her head with her index finger. She would never say that she had guessed this because of what Danrito said. Although she had said many things before that she accepted Danrito's help, the dignity of this sentence must be protected by herself!

"Now that you've guessed it...how could you allow a dangerous person like me to get close to you alone?"

Zi was a little confused, but then immediately said, "But it doesn't matter! Since I have this opportunity, I want to warn you about something!"

"Arius's army is gathering, planning to attack Trinity! And Captain Saori..."

At this point, Zi's voice slowed down slightly. Yes, what he was doing now was undoubtedly a betrayal. It was a betrayal of his long-time partner, of Arius's plan, and of that 'lady'.

However, during these days at Trinity, she had witnessed the "beauty" that the students here lived in, and through the study and life here, Zi was also certain without a doubt that her companions, Arius' companions, would destroy this beauty.

"The team she leads will target you and execute you by decapitation."

Zi said word by word.

"Neither the students of Trinity nor the students of Arius can destroy the happiness of others."

"I'm surprised."

Nagisa's voice came from the other side.

"My surprise wasn't the plan you mentioned—though that was also very shocking news. What surprised me was the determination with which you said it."

Nagisa had already put down her teacup, a serious expression on her face. She clasped her hands, slightly raised them above the table, and fixed her gaze on Azusa. "What motivated you to do this?"

Nagisa wanted to say, "Why would you betray your teammates here?", but she rejected the idea before she could even utter it. The word "betrayal" was too heavy. Even if Azusa had done this to protect Nagisa, she could never say it again, as if it were a nitpicking.

"Ahh... this child bears such a heavy burden of truth."

Thinking of this, Nagisa couldn't help but want to slap herself, feeling guilty about the decision she made half a month ago. But at this moment, Nagisa wanted to know, no matter what, what kind of awareness did Shirasu Azusa have in mind when standing in front of her, and what kind of persistence had led to the decision she made?

"Vanitas Vanitatum Et Omnia Vanitas."

Zi looked at the rifle he was leaning against the chair, which was engraved with the education he had received.

"Everything is nothing... This is what I've been taught for a long time. Whether it's me, Captain Saori, or the other students at Arius, this is all we stand for."

"..."

"But I don't quite agree with it, or rather, I don't completely agree with it."

The breeze blew, lifting Zi's white hair.

"Even if everything turns out to be nothing, we should not give up resistance."

Zi's ​​eyes were filled with determination. "After arriving at Holy Trinity, I also felt an atmosphere that was completely different from that of Arius, where I was. It's brighter and more peaceful, and it has made me even more convinced of the irrationality of the concept of 'nothingness'."

"I want everyone at Arius to have this kind of school life, and I don't want the peace here to be disrupted."

Azusa clenched her fists. "So, Captain Saori's actions were wrong, Arius's actions were wrong, and Madam's teachings were also wrong. Wrong things must be stopped, and I just happened to be in a position where I could do something about it."

Why did Zi gain such a clear understanding?

The teachings received through the tapes, in addition to the Trinity curriculum input by Danrito, also included a large number of basic general education courses from Danrito's world. As for general moral education, no matter what, I believe that good qualities and correct values ​​are universal, right?

After discovering Shirasu Azusa's lack of understanding of this aspect of his education, the source of the "Sphinx Mystery" prepared a moral education course for him in addition to the Holy Trinity course. Through these courses, Azusa gradually broke free from the sophistry of "everything is nothing" and clearly understood what he should do.

"...Shirasu Azusa-san, I will remember what you said today."

Nagisa expressed her respect for Azusa with her gaze. She stood up and bowed. "You have a virtue beyond my imagination, Shirasu Azusa-san. I sincerely apologize to you. From now on, please let us work together for peace between the Holy Trinity and Arius."

A gentle breeze, laden with petals, brushed against Zi's shoulders, ruffling her fair hair. Zi's mouth opened slightly in surprise, then she nodded heavily.

"Ah."

237. Do you also want to unite the gods and connect the stars?

The tea party with the students from the cram school club was quite successful. For Nagisa, not only did she completely investigate the four members of the cram school club, she also received a warning from Shirasu Azusa, which was a pleasant surprise and completely solved the problem she was currently worried about.

"We have identified all the locations that need to be defended. All that's left is to patiently wait for the results."

In front of Nagisa was the defense report from the Justice Realization Committee. When Nagisa and Hasumi learned that Arius' students planned to attack through the intricate underground tombs of the Holy Trinity, they had a headache about this problem for a long time.

The paths of the catacombs have a long history. The terrain has been formed over the years, like a maze. Even the tea party cannot fully understand all the entrances and exits.

"However, there are still possible loopholes, and there is not much we can do about it."

Hasumi shook his head regretfully. "The Justice Realization Committee doesn't even have enough troops to close all the gaps we've discovered. Even if we include the reserves, it's still just a drop in the bucket."

The reserve students of the Justice Realization Committee still have a long way to go before they can stand on their own two feet. Now? They're just too quick to be used as filler, so it's understandable that they're called trash.

Hasumi looked at the defense map before him and frowned in embarrassment. "Based on Shirasu Azusa's strength... unless we can get support from other groups within the Holy Trinity, relying solely on the Justice Realization Committee's dispersed forces, we'll easily be penetrated by the enemy."

"I think there's no need to worry too much."

Nagisa put down her tea. "Mr. Azusa told me that although Arius' students usually receive training in combat and espionage, and their overall strength is probably slightly stronger than that of ordinary academy students, only a few can reach Azusa's level. The rest... can probably refer to the level of those black market combat robots, right?"

"Even so, their sheer numbers will still make them a formidable opponent..."

Hasumi's arms unconsciously embraced the heavy fruit, lifting it. This unconscious display made Nagisa turn away with a sullen look, while Hasumi remained completely unaware: "Even if we send out that kid Tsurugi, we can only deal with a small number of people..."

"Um, I mean, Hasumi-san, could you please put your hands down first?"

I'm so tired, so alone

"Hmm? Ah, okay."

Confused, Hasumi lowered his hands. "But the manpower problem still needs to be solved... What should we do, Nagisa? Should we try to contact the leaders of other groups?"

"I'll fight for this."

Nagisa said seriously, "Don't do anything that might alert them right now, lest other Arius spies besides Shirasu Azusa discover this."

"As for more detailed information, Bai Zhouzi will promptly inform us through communication as the operation progresses."

At present, there is still some time before the signing of the Treaty of Eden, just like the timing of the establishment of the supplementary lessons club. Nagisa established the supplementary lessons club at this point in time, originally considering the most important signing time of the Treaty of Eden.

If there hadn't been so many unexpected events that changed the course of events, Nagisa would have probably wiped out the entire cram school during the second academic ability test.

If this happened, Shirasu Azusa would naturally not be able to send warnings to Nagisa, and Saori's team's assassination operation would probably be completed smoothly... Even Nagisa would feel a little scared when he thought of his possible fate.

"Who could have imagined such a complicated betrayal! The spy who infiltrated ended up warning the person he was supposed to assassinate... There's nothing so strange in history! Although... although this is indeed a good thing! But at least my previous calculations were correct!"

Thanks to Shirasu Azusa's direct information, Trinity appeared calm on the surface, but secretly, things had already begun to take shape. They were stepping up their military preparations, mobilizing personnel, and inviting leaders from various colleges to a tea party. With some time left before the signing ceremony, everything was still possible.

"Modifying the Chronicle game to suit Kivotos is a little more difficult than I thought..."

Sitting in his swivel chair, discarded manuscripts piled around him, a screen before him displaying a running stream of data. Danrito, currently working on a Chronicle game, had hit a rare bottleneck.

"Could it be that because the city of Kivotos contains so many mysteries and so many complexities, the game I envisioned, 'Chronicles of Kivotos', cannot be fully realized?"

Pulling at his hair, the dark circles under his eyes looked a bit scary. But he just stared at the screen, watching the data running and reporting errors.

“Chronicles of Kivotos is a game that brings together all of Kivotos in a true survival battle, where the ultimate player emerges and gains the mysterious power of this world.”

Raising his hand to pour himself a cup of coffee, Danrito continued to mutter to himself, "When I faced Hoshino Takanashi's 'reversal' and felt the 'terror' that resulted, the true use of mystery that emerged from that form brought me endless inspiration."

"And the 'Chronicles of Kivotos' cartridge was created to replace the 'Final Trial'. Gathering the power emanating from all of Kivotos' existence as a collective, using the mysteries of all to lift the mysteries of one individual to ascend the steps, thus mastering the power after the reversal at a smaller, even harmless cost..."

"This is how the game should be!"

Danrito stood up abruptly. The error message on the screen before him was triggered again, making him furious. "Damn it! Why is it still an error?! Isn't this the optimal solution?"

"No...wait, maybe there's something wrong with my method..."

Danrito paused in his stance, seemingly lost in thought. With his divine ability, he knew there was a solution to any problem; it was simply a matter of how long he needed to think.

"Maybe... I'm too impatient?"

Danrito calmed down and turned his attention back to the "Chronicles of Kivotos" cassette he was working on on the table.

"Each of the great districts of Kivotos has its own heritage and origins. While the mysteries may appear similar, their internal structures reveal completely different existences. For example, the mysteries of Abydos and the mysteries of the Holy Trinity have completely different internal structures..."

Walking to the whiteboard behind him, Danrito picked up a pen and began to doodle, following his inspiration. "Based on this calculation, perhaps the key to the failure of the Chronicles of Kivotos to take shape lies in the city's inherently complex and mysterious composition?"

238. Sui and Tang Dynasty test: Yi Bo is confused!

The key reason why the cassette cannot be completed is perhaps that this overly mixed mystery interferes with the unification of the chronicle cassette's mysterious data, just like mixing several completely different materials together, and in the end all you get is a sticky, shapeless mass of impurities.

"Or maybe I shouldn't be so impatient?"

Danrito pondered for a moment, and before his eyes, like a holographic image, the image of the "Chronicles of Kivotos" cartridge he had envisioned emerged. In his memory, which he knew down to the last screw, the envisioned cartridge became transparent, breaking apart into several smaller, single-sided cartridges.

"We'll create separate cassette tapes for each school district's chronicles. Once all the cassette tapes for each school district are complete, we'll merge these cassette tapes representing each school district together. This way, the resistance to creating the 'Chronicles of Kivotos' cassette tape will be greatly reduced!"

"That's right! That's it!"

Danrito slapped his thigh at his own idea. "That's right! If it's impossible to do it all at once, why not do it in segments? Isn't history made up of fragments?"

The mysterious cassettes representing various properties merged into one, becoming the final "Chronicles of Kivotos" cassette. This was the final solution that Danrito came up with.

"So... the easiest ones to achieve right now are the Abydos Chronicle and the Millennium Chronicle, right?"

Danrito calmed down from his excitement and returned to his chair. Based on his current understanding of Kivotos, Chronicles of the School District wasn't easy to create. Danrito had already begun to understand the mysteries of Kivotos, and the mysteries seemed to have a certain ring to them that were not quite in Danrito's own world.

"However, Abydos should be more cooperative with me. It would be faster to get the information from them."

Danrito spun around in his chair. Abydos's current student population barely matched the size of a single class in other districts, a stark disparity with its land area. But there's a saying that goes, "History is people." As long as Abydos still has students, its chronicles will continue.

However, the power of Chronicle game cartridges also depends on the number of players participating in them. The previous "Kamen Rider Chronicle" swept a large part of the population in a short period of time, which is why it was able to control the lives of tens of thousands of people, making Chronicle players have a deterrent power in another sense.

"Let's contact Hoshino and the others to help later. It'll be a good opportunity to handle the promotion of the regional exclusive game at the same time."

Danrito stretched his back vigorously and threw himself back into editing the game data. This time, the results of the calculations were subtly different.

Initially, Danrito developed a cartridge version of the Kivotos Chronicles similar to the original Chronicles cartridges. However, after developing it with the goal of a multi-school district version, the final cartridge's capacity was significantly increased. Simulations were performed, and the cartridge's thickness was directly increased to that of a Gemini cartridge. Further development was performed, and a separate drive version was calculated.

"Why are you getting more and more bloated?"

Danrito frowned. "Will the amount of data on the final cartridge not even be able to fit on a double cassette? Will we need to make a dedicated drive?"

After pondering to no avail, Danrito decided to put the simulation results aside for now. After all, it was just a simulation for now. After all, that kind of thing would need to be considered in the future.

"Forget it. For now, let's focus on developing the Chronicles cartridges for the three school districts of Abydos, Millennium, and Holy Trinity. Developing Chronicles cartridges by school district is feasible, and the mysteries of each school district can be isolated to avoid conflicts. However, the Chronicles cartridges produced in this way will only have special effects on students in a single school district, and they are far from meeting the standards I have in mind..."

With a kick of the ground, Danrito slid backwards with the swivel chair under his butt. He slumped against the back of the chair and sighed from his throat: "I feel like my enthusiasm has temporarily subsided. I should take a rest--"

Everyone in the remedial class department was still carrying out their remedial class life as usual, but judging from the questions given in the third mock test, it seemed that they no longer needed to rush to catch up.

"Haa ...

Danrito snapped his fingers idly. The questions on this exam were much easier, or rather, back to a more normal level of difficulty. Naturally, a mock exam of this level boosted everyone's scores significantly. Even Danrito didn't bother to use the pachinko roller to heighten the atmosphere.

Folding Hanako's test paper into a paper airplane, Danrito propped his cheek with one hand and threw it with the other. It flew in a perfect circle across the sky above the classroom, landing precisely on Hanako's desk, as precise as the ancient Greek god of paper airplanes. "Hanako, one hundred fainting spells."

"Ah~ No points were deducted for preventing pride this time?"

Hanako chuckled, and Danrito simply replied in a bored tone, "Even the essay topic isn't worth scrutinizing this time. Your essay is impeccable. I could still deduct a point if I were to find fault, but considering the overall direction of the test has changed, I'll let it slide."

"One hundred points..." Xiaochun's eyes turned into cat's eyes. "Can you get a perfect score on this comprehensive test? Can you get full marks on reading comprehension?!"

"Reading comprehension isn't about your understanding, it's about your understanding of the test-setter's thinking." Danrito began folding the next paper airplane. "Hanako's answer is 89% in line with what the test-setter wanted to see. Although I didn't write this test, Hanako's skills are truly impeccable. Next up, Hifumi, points."

The paper airplane landed accurately at Hifumi Airport again. Hifumi unpacked the paper airplane, her eyes lighting up: "Oh my! Can I get a score like this too?"
