The Degree
Nonnormal

“Because the handsome one has promised then let's do that, Rina.” Rani said boredly, she was more interested in what she would do to Ray later.

“Yes! I'm sure we have the same thoughts about what we want to do to her!” Rina said cheerfully and full of smiles, inversely proportional to her twin sister.

Ray felt troubled because he had said things that he might regret later. There were some things he could not handle about the two troublesome brats.

Rani walks up to Erina, before acting she gives her earplugs that she purposely keeps, “Wear this, handsome. You are affected by this degree***** so you cannot hear the words. The basic weakness of his ability, if it can not be heard what his orders, then it is useless.”

Anyone would be able to think about it, but Ray was more surprised about the fact that the high school boy seemed to be able to think of such a thing, especially in this dire situation.

If these two twin girls had weak minds and stances, they wouldn't have made it to the Open World. At least Ray's pretty sure they killed people to get here.

“Ya, thank you.” Ray immediately put on his earplugs.

Although he could not hear anything, Ray could understand the conversation around him by reading the movements of his lips. Although not everything he could know, at least the core of their conversation he could hear.

After Ray wears it, Rani immediately unbinds the one covering Erina's mouth.

“Your bastards! What have you done until Ray does these things?!” Erina rejected the fact that Ray was acting with sincerity of his heart.

Erina will be more able to accept that Ray acted that way because something threatened her so she could not oppose it.

“Yeah, calm down. A handsome man over there can't be threatened in any way. Besides, we are not enemies, this is done for your good.” Rani smiled gently.

Erina certainly did not immediately put the trust in the slightest, “Lock, do not try to play tricks on adults. I'm not stupid enough to trust you.”

“Stupid? Come on, I'm just a teenager who can only play. There's no way I'd dare fool you.”

After seeing that Rani knows how to overcome her Degree, Erina becomes convinced that this boy is unusual.

“There will be no ordinary boy living all the way to Open World.” Erina stared cynically along with her words.

Tasks one to four may vary, but the sure thing is that guinea pigs are taught to get used to killing.

Those who reach the Open World land no longer have clean hands. The hands of those who reached the Open World were very dirty and full of human blood.

“That might be true if I had killed some people. But I did it accidentally. So it doesn't count.”

“Tak intentionally? Quite strange delivery way.” Erina smiled faintly as if provoking.

“Yes, I accidentally let some people die. Like they walk alone despite knowing in front of him there is a ravine, or those who do not move at all even though a knife leads to his neck.”

“Hah! You are stupid in lying. It cannot be called unintentional. Even if it's true there will be questions about how you do it.”

Rani brought her face closer to the few centimeters left with Erina's face. Her gaze that contained mystery made Erina unable to turn away.

Rani then extended her right finger slowly until Erina watched him closely.

“I do it like this!” Rani sped up her movements, her hands landed right on her forehead and made Erina surprised, “You will feel sleepy but it is difficult to sleep or move.”

“What are you—” Erina started to beard her head and her eyes narrowed. Not because of suspicion but because of sleepiness.

He also could do nothing as if his body refused to follow his orders.

“Good. Rina, from this point on it is your duty. Do it right so that the handsome will grant our request.” Rani said a little lazily, but she stressed to Rina to give her best.

“Tno need to worry. I've never failed to do it and you know it.”

Rani moves away from Erina, and Rina is now in Rani's previous position. For some reason, Rani does not let Ray see what Rina will do.

“It appears that you can read lip movements. Not mean presumptuous but you should not hear or know what Rani said, handsome.”

Ordinary boys like them couldn't possibly observe things like this.

“Why?” ask Ray.

“It is possible that you will accidentally be affected by it. As you already know, Rani is able to brainwash people with her Degree and she cannot limit who the target is. In short, everyone could have been affected.”

As if to prove Rani put her ear cover.

Ray then turns around because there is no reason for him to risk being brainwashed by Rina. Even if it was a lie, there would be no profit for them.

Even so, it is true that Rina has a brainwashing Degree because when she first met this small squad, Ray already knew all of its member Degrees because they showed Name Cards.

‘There are no normal people in this group. Liars, pantomimes, ronnins, hypnotists and even brainwashing. There are still some members with strange but dangerous degrees. That's vivid. There are no normal people here.

Ray is convinced that the group is capable of destroying the Redwest, the Blueeast, even the Rebellion because their leader has abilities that allow him to do things that look impossible.

Indri Calista, the woman who was on the same chair assignment as Ray. It was unexpected that during his unknown existence he built a group of dangerous people.

The reason Ray wanted to cooperate with him was simple even though the way they introduced themselves was very suspicious.

‘I accepted this cooperation because it did not harm me. Not to mention that I needed a partner who was able to do dirty and vile things. However, does Indri really want to be by my side?’

The strange reason in question was that Indri offered his help on condition that he could fight by his side. Ray did not believe that simple reason and although he accepted it, trust was completely out of place.

Ray intended to keep an eye on how they were acting but it seemed to be a wrong move. Starting from this point it will be difficult for Ray to separate himself from this small group.

Rina then comes patting Ray and Rani on the shoulder as a sign that she is done doing it.

“I've done as you instructed, handsome. From now on the woman fully complies with you and will be a doll that you can use at will.”

Speaking of being abnormal, Ray might add himself to the category. In this world, or at least in Open World. Ray is convinced no one will take down the human caste and make it like a pet that will do anything for its owner.
