chapter 32
Episode 32 Midterm exam preparation period.(5)

Have you ever heard of the word kamikakushi?
Well, it’s an expression used only in Japan, so I don’t think many people have ever heard of it.
Originally, this word is an idiom that euphemistically refers to the disappearance or disappearance of a child, rather than an intuitive expression that he has suffered a misfortune.
The reason I am suddenly saying this is because in this world the word kamikakushi has a different meaning.
Of course, the essential meaning has not disappeared, but in this world, the term kamikakushi is a term that refers to cases in which teleportation fails for one of several reasons and disappears while using a teleportation device.
Its origin is that a Japanese scholar who saw the first failure of the teleportation shouted ‘I suffered a kamikakushi’ or something.
In any case, the chance of kamikakushi, which is rarely experienced while using this teleportation device, is 1 in 8, which is by no means low.
The probability of 12.5% is more than 10 times higher than the probability of winning the gacha in the gacha games you usually play.
So, it is normal for most people to be reluctant to use teleportation devices.
Because I don’t want to be the target of Kamikakushi.
Moreover, if you are a person of high status, you will not want to lose what you have, so you will be even more reluctant to use a teleportation device.
In other words, if a high-ranking person in a certain organization uses a teleportation device, it means that the person is so bold that he doesn’t even care about kamikakushi, or that a crisis is imminent enough that he has to use the teleportation device despite the risk of kamikakushi. You may have noticed that it could be a sound as well.
Today, this is the Griffon Prison at 75,000 feet.
From this Griffon prison, someone used a teleportation device to leave for Trinity Academy.

“Let’s all do our best, guys. There are three days left until the midterm.”
“Hearing those words really gives me strength. Thank you. Sung Yeon-ah. I dare you to confirm that the midterm exam is in 3 days!”
… This is the mood of the current S-Class.
Until now, it has been said that the midterm exam is near, but now the midterm exam is near.
“Okay then, the last match of the day is left. Let Aina and Olivia enter the training room.”
“yes.”
“I want to rest.”
“After this training, you can rest.”
At Vincent’s stubborn reply, Olivia grunted into the training room.
Aina followed Vincent without a word, but Olivia, a free-spirited and troublemaker, didn’t seem to want to.
That said, Olivia had no right to refuse.
[User recognized. You are synchronizing your thinking. please wait for a moment.]
[User, Aina Mitsuru, and Olivia Teixeira have been synchronized. Please set up training.]
[The training settings have been completed.]
[Countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, training has started.]
The inside of the training room darkened by rain clouds could be seen as Aina’s solo stage.
Even if I didn’t have to pull out the shadows, all sides were covered with shadows.
A bright space does not mean that Aina cannot use Shadow Domination, but Aina’s Shadow Domination power is considerably reduced when the surroundings are bright.
However, if there is a penalty, of course there is also an advantage.
Conversely, the darker the surroundings, the stronger Aina’s thinking power is of course.
Maybe it was that Aina knew that the environment was helping her, or that even though she had a cold and expressionless face as usual, she wanted to hide the confidence she had, but she couldn’t hide it.
The funny thing is, Olivia had the opposite vibe.
There was a slight smile, but the aura of annoyance that was seeping out was so full that anyone could notice it.
Moreover, it was not simply expressed with facial expressions and energy.
Aina’s confident movement, hiding her body in the shadows and quickly infiltrating the city, contrasted very well with Olivia, who was just walking around while sucking a lollipop.
… for a moment. Olivia’s outfit has changed?
Was the reason you went inside the building for a while to change clothes?
Switching to casual clothes, pretending to be a normal citizen?
It was a pretty fun strategy.
After all, Vincent has emphasized the importance of breadcrumbs several times, and Olivia basically just hates annoying things, but she has a very good sense of battle itself.
If this happens, fortunately, this battle will not have much interference from the citizens.
All of the training Alfred participated in was not the first time that hologram citizens recognized Alfred and stuck with Alfred to annoy the training.
ah… !
Olivia isn’t trying to make a raid under the guise of a normal citizen, is she simply annoyed by being disturbed by the citizens?
Wow, Olivia is amazing in many ways.
Anyway, this training seems to be going quite comfortably.
In the beginning, Aina, who hides her body in the shadows and moves, could not be seen by the citizens, and the only distinguishing characteristic of Olivia, who wore a hood in a stooped posture, and even wore a mask, was her chest, which was too strong for her assertion.
“Oh, you two met. Will Aina really recognize Olivia?”
“Of course I think I will find out.”
“You may not notice it unexpectedly.”
The result turned out to be more vain than expected.
Aina started throwing her memorization at Olivia without any hesitation.
“What, how did you know?”
“The habit of breathing, the habit of walking, and finally the big udder.”
“Well… I will take it as a compliment.”
It seems that Aina’s last remarks came as quite a shock to everyone.
Everyone looked confused.
Well, but that’s not wrong.
Olivia’s big chest is also a big personality.
It’s a bit too much though.
You judge people by their hearts.
really desirable… No, it was not.
In any case, Olivia casually avoided or beat Aina’s memorization.
Of course, it would be disappointing to underestimate Aina’s pursuit of vital points because Olivia casually avoided this.
No matter how much physical ability the world view is, it is clearly difficult to avoid memorizing the vital points.
It wasn’t a method she chose often because it didn’t suit her temperament, but on one day when she was determined and prepared only hundreds of memorization, there was a time when she overpowered Alfred using almost only memorization.
So, this didn’t mean that Aina’s tracing of vital points wasn’t her weak thinking, but it meant that Olivia’s physical abilities were extremely superior.
When Vital Tracking wasn’t very effective, Aina started using Shadow Domination again, her signature thought power.
Dark spears rose from the shadows on the floor scattered everywhere.
Nevertheless, Olivia carefully avoided the spears and approached Aina slowly.
This, I think Olivia is a little upset?
Normally, he would have allowed Aina’s attack a few times while doing his best, but now he has not allowed that attack even once.
After all, is it because of that remark?
Maybe Aina provoked her because she wanted to see Olivia’s true skills.
At this point, not many people are aware that Olivia is hiding her skills, but Aina is among the few who do notice.
The moment Olivia fully approached Aina, Olivia’s fist flew at her.
Aina also opened the veil of shadows in response to the attack, but Olivia’s sincere fist barely pierced the spread of the veil of shadow and touched Aina’s abdomen.
Wow it flies far
I’m really sick
“Does Olivia look a little better today?”
“Yeah, it’s different than usual.”
yes it is
Because she doesn’t really have much to say.
A day like today is rare.
Olivia, who succeeded in the attack, had a very cheerful expression, and Aina, who allowed the attack, had a very angry face.
For what reason did the resentment come from?
Simply allowing the attack?
Or was it that Alfred wasn’t the only one above him?
If not, Olivia’s deceitful act of hiding her skills?
no matter what happened
If Aina can grow even more through that opportunity, it’s a good story for me.
It’s a bit surprising though.
It’s rare to see Aina who failed to manage her facial expressions.
Of course, Aina quickly erased her angry face and returned to her usual cold face.
Aina’s shadow, who regained her composure, began to rush in sharply, as if she was about to squeeze into Olivia’s crevice again.
As a result, Olivia also allowed about two attacks.
Olivia’s cursed touch often lowers the opponent’s abilities, but her thinking power hasn’t fully grown yet, so it’s not even close to the level of lowering the output of her thinking power.
Therefore, to Aina, who was looking at a match purely based on her imaginative power, the curse that could not be stacked did not show much meaning in reality.
Even if Olivia is showing her sincerity, it’s not easy to get out of the storm of shadows coming from all directions.
Olivia suddenly spit out the lollipop she was holding in her mouth.
It seemed like he was trying to show the difference between himself and Aina.
I saw the sincerity in Olivia’s eyes for the first time in this moment.
Oh, strictly speaking, it may not be the first time.
Because she was always sincere when playing games.
So, it must be the first time I see the truth in my daily life.
Anyway, Olivia got into a crouching start and started running towards Aina at the speed of a bullet.
A few shadows had scarred Olivia’s limbs, but she didn’t seem to mind.
No, rather, it seemed to burn more fighting spirit, and the speed just increased.
When Olivia and Aina were about 5 steps away, Olivia suddenly jumped off the floor.
Perhaps this action was unexpected for Aina, so the shadow could not follow Olivia’s movements.
And, Olivia lands safely behind Aina’s collapse.
Olivia’s final blow was directed at Aina.
Everyone here felt that Aina would be defeated.
Even I was like that.
However, it was not.
It was because Aina displayed amazing wit in that brief moment.
The base Aina introduced was not to dodge or block the attack, but rather to attack Olivia in the opposite direction.
It is certainly too late to defend against that attack now.
Even now, it could be said that it would be a hundred times better to aim for a counterattack with the fast-growing wedge of the shadow.
Aina’s shadow, Olivia’s toes.
The two crossed each other.
As a result, thanks to that wit, Aina was able to reverse the established defeat.
[No winner, draw, training ends.]
