She took the headset and after wearing it, she could hear the voice from there.
"The targets are prepared. They're shooting back."
"We're trapped, requesting for backup."
"Sout…"
There were also some codewords and Aikawa Saki's brain quickly tried to process it. She crouched in front of the sniper rifle and took a deep breath.
Her training result so far showed her maximum distance was 1100 yards. It was very good considering she had only ever touched the sniper rifle for three months.
Of course, she didn't show this in front of the other students and only in private training. Instructor Onizuka made her kept it a secret, especially since she wanted to join the SAT.
But this will be the first time she aimed it directly at humans.
'Calm down.'
Aikawa Saki took a deep breath and quickly looked for the target. It was easy for her because she quickly found the other sniper, located at 570 yards away from here.
Resting her finger on the trigger, Aikawa Saki's expression turned sharp.
Bang!
The sniper on the opposite side fell down, holding their bleeding hand and chest.
The bullets hit their lungs.
Aikawa Saki turned the sniper rifle to the other side, finding another sniper from the opposing forces. They didn't wear SAT uniforms, which is why she knew it directly. The distance is different and her brain immediately calculated it.
Bang!
The second, the third, the fourth, and so on
Without any sniper from the opposing team, the SAT team who were the vanguards were directly freed and quickly apprehend the others.
Aikawa Saki finally stopped and then quickly took off the headset and after wiping it, she put it back on the real SAT member. She looked at the sniper rifle and wiped her fingerprints too.
But Aikawa Saki knew that it was not enough.
When she came here, she didn't pay attention to the surveillance cameras.
So….
…
Instructor Onizuka looked at Aikawa Saki in front of him and felt that the world is filled with malice. Just when he thought that she's not a troublemaker, she came to him and confessed that she accidentally broke into SAT operation and used their sniper rifle.
"You're in charge of cleaning the playground for a month!"
Aikawa Saki: "..." :)
The good thing is that with Instructor Onizuka stepping forward, the incident didn't reflect badly on her.
The bad thing is that…she directly attracted the attention of two departments.
"National Police Agency Public Security Department?" Aikawa Saki was dazed when she heard it.
This is basically the highest level with the exception of the parliament for the active police officers in duty. Only the best could enter and Aikawa Saki never had that much hope in the first place.
After all, she knew her abilities well.
Aiming for the SAT alone was already very difficult.
"Your on spot reaction is very good. Of course, if you don't want to, you may choose not to," the manager was polite to her.
"I'm actually thinking about joining the SAT," Aikawa Saki admitted slowly, observing the other party's expression.
But he didn't seem surprised. It seemed that he had already heard about this from Instructor Onizuka.
"It doesn't conflict."
"Huh?"
Once the man finished speaking, Aikawa Saki was speechless. At the same time, she understood that he was basically asking her to work in public security after her time in the SAT was over. And during her time in SAT, she might be requested to help with some public security work if necessary.
Aikawa Saki: *dirty words*
She didn't want to become like a certain working emperor damn it!
…
In the end, Aikawa Saki could only agree.
Because their request didn't actually conflict with her goal. After all, being in the public security didn't mean that she wouldn't be able to appear in the investigation section.
She just needed to make the proper arrangements when it's time.
It's not that hard…
Well, it shouldn't be hard?
Aikawa Saki was not entirely sure.
She looked at the barrage that was still following Conan and it was now the time for Miyano Akemi to die.
But something unexpected happened.
…
[Oh, someone stopped Gin and Vodka this time. Who's this brave man?]
[I think he's seeking death and I have never seen him before.]
[He's an organization member!]
[And it seems he's close to Miyano Akemi.]
[Ah, ah, Akai Shuichi, there's a grassland on your head!]
…
Aikawa Saki: "..."
Given how much Miyano Akemi liked Akai Shuichi back then, she shouldn't have done this, right?
But she could guess that this man should be another player.
Because only the players will try to change things. Her fingers were a bit itchy now, but Aikawa Saki knew that it was not the right time for her to appear.
She had to make a flawless past for the next 8 years.
If possible, also interact with other main characters.
Oh right…
She had forgotten about Kazami Yuya.
She was so freaking busy increasing her survival abilities that she completely forgot about him.
Since they would be trained for a while before starting work, she might be able to see him again.
Aikawa Saki was not entirely sure.
The barrage didn't give her complete information and it appeared very rarely. It might be due to the time difference between the main storyline and the 'extra' storyline.
Anyway, she looked at the barrage curiously.
…
[Holy, he's trying to stimulated Miyano Akemi not to give up and even dare to challenge Gin]
[This man is really brave!]
[Ahh, I got his name: Hanase Akira]
[He's a member of the organization!]
[AHH, Gin shot him!]
[Nooo!]
[Why are the new characters come in just to die?]
[Poor handsome guy]
…
Aikawa Saki: ???
She looked at the barrage and was silent. It couldn't be that another player would die so suddenly, right?
They were truly miserable.
…
[Conan is here!]
[Ooh… Damn it!]
[So touching]
[What does it mean that he's leaving the future for him]
[This is totally like Ireland]
[But Miyano Akemi is still alive now!]
[She's still injured. Damn Gin!]
[I want to see her alive ah, ah, ah]
[Can it be saved?]
…
The barrage continued while Aikawa Saki was cleaning the training ground. Such a big training ground and she could only clean it up herself.
*sigh*
Then again, she was not that close with her classmates.
Once she finished cleaning, her phone suddenly rang and after she picked it up, someone said an address at a rapid speed and then hung up.
Aikawa Saki's eyes narrowed and she immediately set off.
Even if it might be a trap, she will take it.
Passing by the cleaning supplies, she took a broom and then headed to the destination. Even though the message was in a code, her brain translated it almost immediately.
… Having intelligence of 10 was really convenient.
But since it's not her original ability, Aikawa Saki was not entirely sure how much it had improved herself.
She had some popularity points thanks to Kazami Yuya mentioning her, even if it was only for a short period of time. But she hadn't used it yet.
After all, she didn't trust her luck.
One time ordinary lottery cost 1000 points.
One time uncommon lottery costs 10000 points each
One time rare lottery costs 100,000 each
One time skills lottery costs 100,000 each.
The last one is a guaranteed skills, but no one could say for sure that it would be useful. Because Aikawa Saki had seen that the skill list ranged from language skills, music skills, even fighting skills.
Aikawa Saki: "..."
In short, she might not touch those damn expensive lottery skills in her entire life.
It's better to buy directly even though it's expensive.
She only has a few thousands popularity points, clearly not enough for the 10 draws of the first lottery. Thankfully, their used popularity points will not be counted for the 1 million as it only counted the amount they have ever received.
Anyway, that was not important.
She reached the room and opened the door. Once she walked in, she saw a middle aged man sitting in the middle of the strange room. Various items were placed haphazardly and her brain memorized it as she looked at the middle aged man.
"You…"
"Ssh." The middle aged man raised his finger to his lips and Aikawa Saki was silent.
After a few more seconds, he beckoned for her to leave.
Aikawa Saki frowned, but she still walked out and then her phone rang.
"Come to the room next door."
Aikawa Saki followed the order and then looked at the paper on the table.
"Write down everything you see."
Everything?
Aikawa Saki sat down and wrote it down. Starting from the middle aged man's appearance to the stain on his clothes and his possible trajectory before coming here. After that, she described the room and listed out all the items there one by one, including some of her suspicions.
Once she was done, she walked out without hesitation and left.
In less than one day, she received another call and Aikawa Saki understood.
It was a test.
For those who want to enter public security, they have to face this kind of sudden test. The test could range from investigation, memory challenge, or even fighting.
Since her advantage lies in the memory challenge, they gave her this one.
Tsk.
As the graduation drew near, Aikawa Saki still saw the barrage was still on the scene where Miyano Akemi died.
Huh…
It's been days.
The delay is really long.
Aikawa Saki was perplexed and then fell into silence.
It was not impossible that what she could get was delayed since she's 8 years in the past.
Walking out of the police academy, Aikawa Saki headed to the convenience store again. She wanted to buy more ointments since she was bruised a lot. Her fighting skills were indeed still in a great need of improvement.
Hopefully the time is enough.
As she walked down the alley, her eyes met with the eyes of a man who hung on the railing.
Kiichiro Numabuchi?
He's in Tokyo?
Aikawa Saki was stunned because she had never heard of this before.
The man didn't give her any time to react as he jumped down and a knife had appeared on his hand, ready to strike.
Aikawa Saki thought of her pitiful 6,5 points of physique and quickly reached out to the trashcan cover beside her.
Clang!
The trashcan cover blocked the knife and Aikawa Saki moved her hand to hold the man's wrist before she punched and kicking him.
Bang!
The two of them fought and Aikawa Saki felt her bones were about to break, but she persisted and with a forceful tug, dislocated the man's shoulder before pinning him down.
Panting slightly, Aikawa Saki quickly called Instructor Onizuka to come.
Thankfully there were some other police officers nearby.
But when Aikawa Saki saw her bruised appearance, she was silent.
Who's this ugly girl?
Ah, ah, ah!
