SAT, simply put, is the counter-terrorism unit, directly under the Prefectural Police Department and consists of elite police officers. They were also under supervision of the National Police Agency.
To prevent retaliation, SAT personnel always conceal their faces with helmets during operations, and the identities of everyone from commanders to ordinary members are strictly kept secret.
"I know," Aikawa Saki replied.
She had naturally heard about the SAT. It was a very strictly confidential unit and many people there couldn't expose their identities lightly.
"Would you like to join?" Instructor Onizuka asked slowly.
Aikawa Saki's sniping talent is terrible.
And this is the only force under the police that recruited snipers directly. There are even special teams consisting of snipers in this group.
Aikawa Saki was stunned and then thought about it.
If she joined the SAT that had such a high confidentiality, how the hell should she gain popularity?
It'll be difficult.
After all, her goal in coming here was not to make a career but to get popularity.
The reason for using the time dungeon was simply to get stronger before the main storyline started because she didn't want to die.
Hmm, wait.
SAT members had to be under 30 years old and usually only stayed for 5 years. Once the time was up, they would be transferred to other departments. It could be public security or even the criminal investigation division. In short, she could be transferred anywhere.
But it should be limited to the prefecture departments.
Aikawa Saki was not entirely sure.
But it's good enough.
When the main storyline started, she wouldn't be in the SAT anymore and might be transferred to the Investigation Section.
After all, she would be 30 years old at that time.
Thinking about this, Aikawa Saki felt that it's feasible.
"You don't have to answer directly. It's not that easy to enter the SAT and usually only the best can pass." Instructor Onizuka said when he saw Aikawa Saki pondering the matter.
"I want to join, Instructor." Aikawa Saki said earnestly. "Please train me."
"Of course." Instructor Onizuka smiled.
…
And the next period of time was basically hell for Aikawa Saki.
The standard to enter SAT was extremely high, so for Aikawa Saki who had poor physical strength, she had to train twice the amount of other students.
But in this way, her strength improved rapidly to the point of bullying most of the boys.
Seeing half of the boys were thrown by Aikawa Saki when it's nearly two months before graduation, Instructor Onizuka was filled with pride.
This is simply a model student.
Unfortunately, he was destined to have a headache just a week afterwards.
Aikawa Saki also did her best to make sure that she would get stronger faster. She tried a few things in order to get some skills by herself but in the end only got basic fighting skills and basic disguise skills aside from the sniping skills.
Considering that these two skills cost 100,000 points of popularity each… Well, she earned a fortune.
And since these skills were learned by herself, she could use it normally as if it were passive skills. There was also an active skill, but it would make her tired each time she used it.
Anyway, 3 skills are better than nothing.
Aikawa Saki also tried the bomb disposal and when Instructor Onizuka saw how fast she dismantled the bomb, he was silent. It seemed that he was considering putting Aikawa Saki to the bomb disposal squad.
But Aikawa Saki declined.
She didn't want to focus on defusing bombs all the time.
Sniping is more interesting.
Strangely enough, she didn't get any bomb disposal skills in her panel. Though, she has the appropriate knowledge in her mind.
And her physical strength increased to 6,5 points, barely acceptable for SAT. Her stamina and physique were only 6, though and her agility was 7.
Only her intelligence remained the same.
The good thing is that her combat power has increased to 4.
That calls for celebrations.
At least, it was not 1 like before.
She really wanted to cry if it remained as 1 when she had learned many things in the police academy.
On weekends, Aikawa Saki would go out in casual clothes. She felt that she should learn to relax a bit or she wouldn't be able to survive.
Her best distraction so far was the barrage.
In the past three months, 2 more players died. The female player who came near Conan died as she became a victim in a case. It was also an everyday case…
When Aikawa Saki saw the barrage, she was simply speechless.
She hoped that this player managed to get 1 million popularity points within a few days. Otherwise, she will fail miserably.
The other one died in the time dungeon.
She didn't know the specific time because even if they were in a different timeline, everything was happening at the same point of time in the main storyline.
How it managed to maintain it, she didn't know.
In any case, there were only 7 players left.
She's included, so there were 6 other players and their goals were the same.
Getting popularity points.
…But right now, she's still 8 years in the past.
Aikawa Saki sighed when she thought about it.
And when she went out for an outing on the weekend, she had an accident.
She met with an old lady who asked her for help finding her cat. Since Aikawa Saki had nothing better to do, she agreed. And she saw this cat climbing up the trees towards an apartment building.
Aikawa Saki could only follow and chased the cat to the rooftop.
"Got you!"
Thud!
Someone fell not far from her and Aikawa Saki's instinct warned her, making her crouch down without hesitation. She turned her head to the side and her expression sank when she saw a police officer wearing a SAT uniform fall down.
A sniper rifle was placed right in front of him.
Normally, people will escape right away, but Aikawa Saki was not a normal person. She released the cat and crawled to the man, checking his pulse.
'He's dead.'
Aikawa Saki's expression was grim, but she suppressed her nausea and discomfort. She had to do something…
Adrenaline surged and Aikawa Saki knew very well that this is both danger and opportunity.
But, since she has entered Conan's world, why should she be afraid of danger?
The corner of Aikawa Saki's lips curled up.
She will try.
