[Master K] The bad one next door

Maya stared at the empty sniper field through the sniper-gun scope.

The cross in sight trembled slightly, and finally froze at a certain point in the air.Thousands of meters away, the ground formed a thin line along the wall, clearly dividing the two planes into two plates, and the convex lens aimed at it seemed as if a prey would jump out at any moment for the bullet to drink blood.

[The test is about to begin—the test is about to begin—please prepare, all students——]

A dull electronic sound echoed in the spacious field.Hearing this voice, Mami's breath was stagnant, and his nerves tensed instantly.

--it has started.

The air was so quiet that there were only electronically synthesized voices coming from the radio and almost nonexistent breathing.Ten sniper students were lying on a row of mats, holding guns steadily, staring at the empty shooting field, holding their breath and waiting for the opportunity to pull the trigger.

【Three-two-one-】

Suddenly, a plate-shaped mannequin appeared in the sniper range, rising from the ground a little at a distance of 50 meters.

[Test begins! 】

As soon as the voice fell, the venue was instantly resounded with messy and dense gunshots.

Mami glanced at the row of moving mannequins 50 meters away, and quickly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" The first bullet hit the heart of the mannequin.The next second, third, and fourth bullets precisely penetrated the thighs, eyebrows, and throats of the other three mannequins.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

When the first row of mannequins was riddled with bullets, 100 meters away, a new row of mannequins rose again.Maya immediately shifted his target, took the heart of one of the mannequins first, and gained twenty points in the blink of an eye.Several students with good reflex nerves also reacted, and began to shoot bullets scrambling to snatch the remaining parts of the mannequin.

In just a few seconds, the second row of mannequins also received the same treatment as their predecessors, and then the third row that appeared from 150 meters away was even more exaggerated, and was full of bullet holes before it was fully raised.After that, rows of mannequins rose up one after another, and were smashed to pieces by crazy bullets. The "bang bang" gunshots mixed with the smell of gunpowder swept the audience with an absolute gesture.

……

One month has passed since Maya came to Tokyo Butei High School.

During this period of time, she gradually got used to the high-intensity training at Butei High School. Although physical training often made her exhausted, it was not as unbearable as it was at first.Lei Ji, the teacher of the sniper class, also returned to school a week after the start of school, so there was finally more orthodox shooting practice in the boring running circles day after day, which moved countless eagerly awaited sniper class students to tears.

Of course, the physical training continued, but the ones chasing them changed from leopards... to wolves.

... Not to mention why beautiful teachers these days like to keep birds of prey as pets. Generally speaking, Maya's butei life is quite peaceful.Every day during the day under the ravages of training, and at night chatting on the phone with Hatta Misaki who is far away in the town, Yazawa Maya ushered in the first monthly exam in his butei career.

On the night when the monthly exam ended, she was wearing her pajamas, wiping her wet hair with a towel, while sitting by the bed and reading her report card on a terminal.

Zhui Tian leaned over to take a look: "A+ in sniping, B+ in reaction, A- in judgment, A+ in intelligence, A+ in perception, B in rationality, B in comprehensive ability... Wow, not bad, it's improved by a level compared to the beginning of school. And..." Her eyes fell on the "Physical E+" which appeared extremely abrupt in the row of "A" and "B", "Physical fitness has also improved, and it has finally reached the level of a normal person."

"Well, yes." Maki herself is quite satisfied with this result, she swipe the screen with her thumb briskly, looking for the teacher's comments, "Because the physical fitness is too slow, I almost got graded C, think about it What a thrill... Ah, I found it."

There are only a few sentences in the column of classroom comments: "I am making rapid progress, my physical fitness needs to be improved, and my attitude towards learning is correct." Its succinctness made Mami couldn't help laughing out: "It really has the style of Teacher Lei Ji."

"Maya seems to adore Reki-sensei very much."

"Huh? No, it's not admiration..." Maki was taken aback, put down the terminal and thought for a while, "How should I put it down, I like her a lot, probably because I feel that she is a very gentle person intuitively. "

Zhuitian smiled: "Gentle 'robot teacher'? It sounds quite innovative--by the way, Maki, I have something to ask you." She paused, leaned forward slightly, and said, "School starts Have you thought about 'teaming' for so long?"

"...Huh? Form a team?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Zhui Tian had a helpless expression of "I knew it would be like this": "I said, didn't anyone mention it to you?"

"No, no... what is that?"

Zhui Tian sighed, stretched out his index finger, and drew the English letters of "group" on the bed sheet: "It is a team composed of several Butei. Many tasks cannot be completed by one person, so many people need to cooperate to complete this task." Tasks, you should know this best about the sniper department." Seeing that Miya nodded suddenly, she continued, "But sometimes the temporary teams don't work well together, so there are long-term and fixed 'squads'. One concept. I don’t need to say more about the advantages of a team that has been tempered a little bit in the long-term battle, compared to those teams that have never worked together before.”

"...Yes, I think I can understand." Mami hesitated and said, "Then, what May wants to say is..."

"I want to build a team, and there are already two members, so I want to invite you, Mami, to join." Just as she vaguely expected, Wuyue Kaitian sent her an invitation, "Another person It's my classmate, named Quan Liangquan, I don't know if you've heard of him—of course, you don't have to pay too much attention to him, he's easy to get along with, and you should get to know him soon."

"I'm fine, but... just the three of us?"

Zhui Tian was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated.

"It's right now, but my idea is to gather four people—by the way, Miya, do you have any trusted friends who can join?"

Hearing this, Mami thought about it.

"A trusted friend... There is indeed one."

<<<<<

At noon the next day, Maya took her "trusted friend" to the place where she had made an appointment with Zhui Tian Wuyue.

"—Eh?! Izumi Liangquan?!"

Shinichi Hirobe was dumbfounded: "Hey, hey! I said Yazawa-chan, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Zhenya just thought the name "Izumi Liangquan" was a little familiar when he heard it mentioned by Zhuitian before, but now he saw the silver-haired boy's expression of "It's a dog" and suddenly felt a little strange: "...wh, what's the matter Is it? I heard from my friend that he is easy to get along with..."

"You, friend, friend, yes, blind, ah!" Hirobe paused every word, heartbroken, "That kind of guy can be regarded as easy to get along with?! If he is easy to get along with, then what am I?! Virgin?! I him Mom can go to heaven!"

"Ehhh?" Maki panicked, "Is Izumi Liang-san really bad?"

"No, it can't be said to be bad... He has no malice towards everyone. However, he definitely can't talk about kindness!"

"……what?"

The ambiguity of Hirobe's words made Zhenya feel at a loss for a while, and then she heard him muttering to himself: "It's simply inorganic... yes, it's like a robot without a human emotional center, and this guy also has super powers. Pervert's hobby! Yes, he is a super pervert!"

"Slow, slow? Would it be a bit..."

"——'It's a bit too much'? No, no, this is definitely not an exaggeration." Hirobe gritted his teeth "Caracalla", "Yazawa-chan, do you know who Izumi is?"

Mami was taken aback, and thought for a moment outside: "This name is quite familiar... If I remember correctly, it seems to be a student of the forensics department?" I seem to have heard the title "Izumi Liangquan of the forensics department" from my classmates before. .

"Yes, and he's also one of only two S-level freshmen this year."

"...Eh?" Maki was stunned, and was instantly shocked, "Ehhhh——?!"

What kind of concept is S-rank, as a butei, he can more or less understand it.If you compare Shinya's Butei level at this time to the omega level among ability users, the S-rank Butei is probably an alpha-level like Izumo Kusanagi and Misaki Hatta.For the vast majority of Butei, it is a position that can only be looked up to but not high. However, when they learn that such a person will be a member of their own team, the mood is particularly delicate.

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true, and I don't need to lie to you. Well, anyway—" Hirobe looked at Mami incredulously, and said solemnly, "If he asks you for the organs left after death, you Don't agree."

Maki couldn't help but be embarrassed: "...Wait, why do you think it is impossible for two people to ask each other for such things when they first met?!"

"Anyway, you must remember my words, otherwise he will do everything possible to kill you."

"Huh? Kill? Why?!"

Listening to Hirobe's continuous criticism of the abnormality of that classmate Izumi Liangquan all the way, the two of them have arrived at the agreed place before they knew it.

——The roof of the main teaching building.

The two subconsciously stopped talking, and stopped for a while in front of the rooftop gate.A blurry cement-colored view can be glimpsed through the crack of the door.

There was a trace of tension in Hirobe's voice: "Hey, this is it."

"...Well, probably there will be no problem."

Mami responded in a low voice, swallowed her saliva calmly, and stretched out her hand to push open the door of the rooftop.The rusty iron chain scratched and pulled on the concrete floor, making a harsh sound of "squeak, creak, creak".As the door is pushed open, the panoramic view of the roof comes into view.

The spacious concrete floor is surrounded by grid-like dark green walls, followed by a cluster of tall jungle buildings and the blue sky with a few wisps of clouds floating behind it as a backdrop.There were two figures on the edge of the roof chatting quietly side by side. Hearing the noise, the short-haired girl among them turned her head, saw them at a glance, and immediately showed a cheerful smile: "Yo, Maki! Here, here!"

Mami responded, stepped forward, first greeted Zhui Tian, ​​and then saw the true faces of the people around her best friend.

She couldn't help being taken aback.

To her surprise, this person had a handsome face that was completely different from Hirobe's description—more precisely, his appearance was soft and beautiful.The boy's soft black short hair was slightly raised at the end, and his obsidian-like eyes were calm and unwavering. His body was considered slender for men, and he was wearing a white coat, with the school uniform of Butei High School exposed at the hem of the white coat.He hasn't said a word since the two arrived, and has been staring at the ground silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhui Tian noticed her surprise, stepped forward, hugged his shoulders with a smile, and introduced: "Zhenya, this is Quan Liangquan I told you about, I am at the same table. Quanliang, this is Zhenya, My best friend, come say hi."

Only then did Quan Liang raise his head, and looked at Miya expressionlessly.For some reason, Maki felt inexplicably that when Oita mentioned "best friend", he was hostile to the legendary S-rank Butei in front of him.

...Hey, isn't it, she said she didn't have any malicious intentions, she doesn't want to be disgusted by the toughest teammates for some inexplicable reason on the first day of joining the team!

Mami resisted the urge to break into a cold sweat, and smiled: "You, you are Izumi Liang's classmate, I am very glad to meet you! I heard Wuyue mention you before..."

"--Really?"

"……what?"

Quan Liangquan's lifeless eyes suddenly brightened: "Student Zhui Tian, ​​did you mention me?"

Maki: "..." I don't know how to react at all.

Seeing her confused face, Hirobe coughed dryly, stepped forward, and waved at Izumi Liangquan, trying to break the silence: "Ah, Izumi Liangquan, long time no see."

Hirobe mentioned earlier that he and Izumi were classmates in junior high school, so it is not surprising that he would greet him so familiarly.However, Izumi Liang didn't even glance at him, but continued to stare at Miya blankly and expectantly, as if this answer was more important than the classmate he hadn't seen for a long time.

"... was ignored?!"

Hirobe's face instantly turned into a word of embarrassment.Under the tremendous pressure brought by Izumi Liang's gaze, Mami nodded with difficulty: "...Yes."

Quan Liang was silent for a while, then looked away: "Your eyeballs are well proportioned."

……what?

Maya was stunned, saying that he couldn't keep up with this person's out-of-the-box thinking.

"So, please sell me the ownership of your eyeballs after death, and I will pay a high price."

"..."

——Maiya's expression froze instantly.

Thinking of what Hirobe said to herself before, she twitched the corners of her mouth and tried her best to pull out a blunt smile: "Sorry, I think... let's forget it."

"Really? That's such a pity."

——No, I'm not sorry at all!So please don't show such an expression of disappointment and unwillingness hidden in the facial paralysis!

……

Although the process was a bit messy, after this battle, the four-member team was finally established.

After confirming the candidates, they quickly registered with the Academic Affairs Management Office, ready to take over the team's first mission.Sui Meizi, the temporary person in charge sitting in the office, looked at the handed-in list: "Forensic Division S-level Izumi Ryoizumi, Assault Division A-level Oshida Wuyue, Vehicle Division A-level Shinichi Hirobe, Sniper Division B-level Yazawa Maya... Hey, how did these four guys get together?"

Toyama Kinji shrugged and turned on the computer: "Yazawa and Oida were good friends who lived together in the town three years ago. Later, Yazawa moved to Ikebukuro because of family problems, and Hirobe happened to be from Ikebukuro. As for Izumi Liang , is Zhui Tian's deskmate."

On the computer screen in front of him, those secrets that the martial arts school students thought would never be known were scrolling densely in the form of files.

"...Zhenmu?"

"what?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of an A-level task." Zhui Meizi slid back to the computer desk in the rolling chair, and clicked the mouse twice.A few seconds later, Kinji Toyama's computer received an email, and the sender's signature was Meizi Sui.Jinci received the email, downloaded it, opened it, and browsed it quickly: "This?"

"Ah, the entrustment I just received this morning is about to be sent to the taskbar." Accompanied by her voice, there was a "crack", and a strange smell of cigarettes immediately wafted in the office. Kota Fujiwara, the serial killer who dismembered the girl, was photographed yesterday in the town, and Izumi Liangquan also participated in the autopsy of this case."

Jinci looked up at her: "Oh, so Mr. Meizi, you decided to give them this task?"

"After all, there are students in my class among them, and the task level is very suitable, and the reward for completing the task is pretty good. But of course it is impossible to force them to accept it, and if it is put on the task bar, anyone may pick it up Let's go." The dark blue short-haired woman leaned on the back of the chair and snapped her fingers with a cigarette in her mouth, smiling unfathomably, "However... just some simple psychological hints will be OK."

——In order to achieve the goal, she can even think of such a bad move, as expected of the interrogation teacher Zumeizi who is best at playing with people's psychology.

Jin Ci cursed silently, and couldn't help interrupting: "Hey, those children are just freshmen, right? Is it really okay to have this kind of A-level task when they come up?"

"Huh? Do you think everyone is as useless as you, who are still doing such boring tasks as finding cats in the second year of high school?"

——The famous Toyama Kinji from the former police 0 department was mercilessly ridiculed by the class teacher in high school after a one-sentence rebuttal.

"..."

Although he is already a celebrity now, but he can't get rid of the waste wood in the heart of Toyama Kinji: sosad 〒▽〒.
