Vol 2 Chapter 1.4

Class had finished and it was now lunchtime.

Everyone in Year 2 Class A left the special classroom.

Someones shadow was in the corridor.

That person went to talk to Ooi and the other two girls.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

It was a brave-looking girl with black hair in a short, even cut.

Her thick eyebrows gave her the impression of being strong-willed.

She opened a window on her Ring Gear.

A hologram floated into the air.

The silver device on her left arm looked like an ordinary bracelet, but with it she could communicate with other people, make a hologram and access all sorts of information. It had various convenient functions.

Now it was displaying her ID.

Breaker Supporter Koori Yuuka 2-ZE

Masaki remembered that she had treated his injuries on his first day at the school.

The level of her Dialect was low, but she was still part of Breaker; she was a girl who worked earnestly and cared a lot about the school. She sincerely worked hard at her position as a Supporter who helped the advance guard that faced the rule breakers.

Ooi looked puzzled.

What is it?

Im Koori from Breaker. I want to ask you something.

Youre from Class ZE? Then youre practically as powerless as a normal person.

Unlike the conversation she had with Masaki and Shirley some time ago, Ooi and the other girls bluntly looked down on her.

Although it felt uncomfortable, the girls attitude seemed to be common in Canaan. Here, level was important.

Koori carried on talking without being agitated by Ooi and the other girls attitude.

Since last month, the Dialect evaluation of students has suddenly grown, like you and your friends. Can you think of any reason why this might have happened?

Huh? We put in a lot of effort of course. Its because we worked hard.

Ooi spurned her.

The other two girls exchanged glances with each other and said No way, is it?, but there wasnt a clear explanation of the reason.

Aha, is it now Breakers job to find the secret of levelling up?

No, thats not it. A little while ago there was an incident involving a Level-Up APPD, so were investigating just to make sure.

We didnt use anything like that!

Oh, sorrythat wasnt what I meant.

We dont use strange things. Anyone can level up if they work hard. Because in this school, level is everything. Someone like you in Class ZE who has the lowest evaluationshouldnt you be training your Dialect instead of working with Breaker?

Geh.

Koori cut off her words.

Shirley was about to say something.

However, Masaki stopped her.

Masaki was still inexperienced when it came to the customs of the school, but he believed that he understood Kooris position.

She must have come to investigate in Class A prepared for the fact that people might say things like that to her.

She wouldnt want Shirley to help her.

Koori pulled herself together and said This is a separate case but as she fiddled around with her Ring Gear to pull up a photograph of someone.

This senior in Year 3 Class Ado you know him?

Yes.

Things have started getting strange for a few days now.

I dont know anything about it!

Ooi raised her voice.

Koori bowed her head judging that they probably wouldnt listen any further.

Thank you for cooperating with the investigation. If you find out anything, please inform Breaker about it.

Yeah, yeahinstead of worrying about people who are levelling up, shouldnt you be focusing on levelling up yourself?

With that said, Ooi and her friend entered the classroom.

Phew.

Koori marked a name on a list in a window from her Ring Gear.

It seemed like it was a list of students who had suddenly levelled up recently. Most of the names were already checked. That was how much she had investigated.

Masaki raised one of his hands.

Hi, youre really working hard.

Ah, Kusunoki-kunand Sakurazaka-san too.

Long time no see!

Was that investigation ordered by Midorikawa-sensei?

I asked for permission since I was worried about it myself. I read a report the other day that, recently, a ridiculous number of students have started levelling upI was wondering if something caused it.

Really? What about the third year you mentioned a moment ago?

She showed the girls a photograph of him when she asked about him.

Koori shook her head.

Thats a separate case. I received information that people have noticed the situation getting strange for the past few days.

The situation?

Yes. How should I put itit went in one ear and out the otherit seemed vague. Ah, look at the time. Sorry, its lunch break now.

Its not a problem

Shirley clapped her hands.

Then lets eat together!

Eh!?

Kooris face twitched.

Come to think of it, she also had a bad impression of Help Cat.

Masaki thought that this was a good chance to improve it a little.

Yeah. If youre fine with it Koori-san, how about it? The lunchbox I have is enough for three people.

Three people?

Part of it was for Alice but she hasnt returned yet.

I see. It would be a shame for it to be wastedbut Im

Shirley grabbed Kooris shoulders.

Its doesnt matter. Youre one of my comrades in Breaker!

Erm, but

It would be helpful if you could tell us more while were eating. Im also worried about it.

Koori hesitated, and then nodded.

If its like that thenIm fine with it.

Shirley pulled up her sleeves.

Then, lets go quickly! Im starving! Quickly! Quickly!

Being hurried on by her, Masaki returned to the classroom and took out the lunchboxthen went to the viewing floor on the top floor with the others.

Nowadays, it had become routine for him to make lunch and eat in a place with a good view.
