The Degree
Ray Vs Arthur's

“Tokoh .. main?” Hiroshi muttered in disbelief. “That's something very strange. No, it shouldn't be possible.”

During this Degree refers to a profession or even a dream. There have been no cases where the Degree took something like a main character and the like.

Arthur is probably the only anomaly that exists among the many Degree users in this place.

“Indeed hard to believe but this is the truth,” Virgo once again confirms. “I can't possibly risk my life for something uncertain!”

Virgo is not a fool, he is very confident in his conclusions. After all, he had the support of reliable information from Secret. The reason Virgo determines ten people with a Degree is dangerous is because of Secret's granting data.

Indri smiled faintly because there was no point in Virgo lying at this stage, “You are indeed something. I'm not denying that something like that could happen. After all, mine alone is very strange.”

Arthur who is being the talk can only be silent. He does not want to give denial or approval because it will make everything worse. The best thing he could do was just observe.

‘Sial, even if I don't say it, this guy guessed right on target. What can I do, from now on I will have many enemies.’

Arthur keeps his abilities a secret out of fear that people will start chasing him for reasons he doesn't know. It is troublesome to deal with such people in the future.

In addition, Arthur still needs a trusted partner because currently only Mona he can trust fully.

‘Terumi can also be trusted but the problem is Ray. That woman wouldn't want to be with me if Ray wasn't around.’

Arthur knows that Terumi has feelings for Ray. It's not a bad thing on the one hand but it's pretty annoying now that Arthur can't think Ray is his partner.

That guy might be nice but Arthur won't erase that suspicion that easily. The stratagem in this place is amazing and will probably be very painful.

“I'm quite satisfied with this. Even if it has to end here then it all pays off.” Virgo stretches his hands with a gentle smile. “Maybe this is the end. However ...,”

Virgo squinted his eyes. Both of his comrades were already cornered and battered, even their masks were slightly shattered due to the fierce fight that ensued.

At that moment, Virgo's gaze was fixed on a girl who seemed hesitant to do something. At that moment, Virgo held out his gun towards Mona with a big smile.

“At least one person must die here!”

Arthur intends to stop him and plans to shoot but he is too slow. Indri certainly will not help him in a million occasions, it is because Mona is only a stranger to him.

“MONA!” Arthur could only shout his name, hoping that the woman heard and dodged in time.

But Arthur knew it was impossible because Mona was so clumsy and full of gaps. The woman could not avoid it, not even realize it.

Just as Virgo was about to pull the trigger someone shot towards him and hit his hand until the gun came off.

“Erina Queen?! You're still alive apparently!” Virgo is upset because of an unexpected surprise, he begins to wonder if Erina's appearance is also an influence of Arthur's power.

Erina has eyes that vibrate when she sees the face of Virgo who is familiar to her and very familiar, even so she does not hesitate to hurt the face of Virgo with her knife.

He managed to deliver the wound from his chin to his forehead. Surprisingly, no blood came out at all. It shows that Virgo faked his face with some strange tricks.

The part that Erina injured seemed to peel off, the woman immediately moved away from Erina.

“One-by-one keep popping.”

The situation is not good because he lost in terms of strength, number and luck because his opponent is Arthur. Virgo has a big bad luck on his side.

“Erina .. thank you for coming,” Arthur said with a sigh of relief.

Erina's arrival saves Mona, otherwise I don't know what will happen next. Arthur may be on the rampage because of Mona's death.

Erina looked indifferently at Arthur and the others.

“I'll go help the others. You don't need my help getting rid of this bastard, do you?”

Arthur feels something strange because Erina should have a grudge fraternity with Virgo, but for now he can ignore it.

In addition, Arthur is also worried about the condition of Mona and Chelsea who are without protection. Terumi and Leo are the best

“Yes, once again I thank you. This debt I will pay.”

Erina smiled thinly, “Not a problem.” Erina quickly ran towards where Chelsea were.

“Now let's solve this problem.” Arthur looked at Virgo coldly. “It seems that you have a Degree that allows you to maximize such a face.”

“I am quite interested to know how bad the monkey face that makes me fail to witness interesting things,” Indri said while giggling.

Arthur limps near Virgo, he prepares his gun and knife. This time Arthur did not plan to fail to kill him.

Hiroshi drew his katana and walked side by side with Arthur, of course, he also did not lower his guard against Arthur.

On the other hand Indri observes the situation from a safe place and conveys.

“I'll watch your back.”

Arthur was quite worried that the hot lead would pierce his back because Indri alone could not be trusted. But this guy knows his degree.

‘Should by knowing my Degree he wouldn't do anything stupid. My degree is more than enough to serve as a bluff.’

“Ku hu hu hu, it seems this is the end of me.” Virgo laughed loudly, he seemed to accept his death with a chest of air.

“Alexis and Seirama are already unsaved.”

In the distance Virgo can see clearly that Terumi broke Seirama's leg and made him unable to wart. While on the other hand Alexis has a big wound on his chest and just wait for the time until his death arrives.

Moreover, Erina had already gathered together with them so there was no gap to escape. Luck will also not help them because Arthur's existence makes all the luck in the world on his side.

‘Ryouma has declared himself a traitor and left right before all this happened.’

An internal standoff between Virgo and Ryouma takes place when the Open World ends. Although Virgo doesn't know the obvious reason Ryouma did it, the guy says that he won't bother him anymore.

With this then the Rebellion should be over.

“You've been causing too much trouble until now, Virgo. Getting a quick death is a relief from me for you,” Arthur said.

Virgo looks at the ceiling with a wry smile, he no longer cares about his fake face that is peeled off and will show his real face.

‘Toh, I will also die. No more caring about this damned face.’

“Are there any last words before the execution is executed?” ask Hiroshi.

“True too, it should be like that,” Virgo chuckles and delivers, “Ah, say this to Ray Morgan. I'll wait for him in hell.”

Arthur reacts slightly after Virgo mentions Ray's name. He wondered if that person had anything to do with this mess. But for now Arthur did not have time to think about it in detail.

But the shot did not come from his weapon, but from elsewhere. Arthur could ignore it but for some things his gut feeling was loudly telling him to know what it was.

“Ha ha ha ha!” from behind him a woman laughed out loud, it was Indri. “It seems there also happened interesting thing.”

“What is this situation ... Mona ..”

Arthur couldn't help but be surprised to see events elsewhere. He did not clearly understand the sight he saw. As soon as he wanted to understand it, two arrows came right in front of Virgo.

“What's more—”

As the arrow explodes, Arthur senses someone jumping into Virgo's place.

“Takkat I let!” Arthur fired several bullets and managed to hit someone but it did not seem to kill him.

When the smoke disappears all that is left is droplets of blood and skin from the fake face of Virgo that has been released. Arthur clucked in great annoyance at having let Virgo escape but the situation on the other hand gave him more headaches.

“He escaped, yes. As I recall there was a person named Ryouma Hisatsu from the group***** that. Well, let's.” Indri has no intention of pursuing Virgo who manages to escape. “We have no business with the other side. Hiroshi, let's go to a safe place.”

“Yes. I don't want to hurt my dignity as a samurai any more than this.”

Arthur initially wants to stop the two, but he realizes that these people have nothing left to do. For now, it's better to approach Mona.

The situation looks very anomalous as the cowardly and clumsy Mona comes to shoot Terumi, while on the other hand Chelsea just sits on their knees with a dumbfounded face.

Regarding Leo, he seems very angry and intends to do something to Mona but Erina holds him back.

Arthur ignores his pain and frantically goes to Mona's place.

“What happened here?” ask Arthur when he arrives at TKP.

“This bitch! He intends to kill Terumi!” leo shouted furiously. “Your body! I'll kill you!”

“T-no! A-aku—” Mona was intent on giving a denial but her mouth came to a halt, her lips and body shaking vigorously.

On the other hand Arthur approached her and hugged her gently, “Keep, Mona! Tell me clearly what happened?!”

“A-I ... killed Terumi .. I killed her, killed her—” Mona was so frightened from the look on her face before she finally lost consciousness.

“Calm down, Leo,” Erina said while calming her down. “Termumi is still alive, the bullet did not damage his vital point. Quickly take her to safety and take care of her wounds!”

Leo still wanted to say something, but hearing Terumi groan because her pain made her stop.

“Deliver the ones here to me.”

The male voice came from somewhere else, where Leo found Ray, whose body was covered with blood, staring coldly at Arthur.

“... yes.” Leo will inevitably have to go take Terumi. Ray and Erina are already here, “Give the bastard a fair reward!” leo's message before carrying Terumi.

Ray and Arthur look at each other long enough even after Leo leaves. On one side Ray had eyes that looked fiery with anger, while Arthur had a worried and confused look.

“If I ask you to hand over the person who shot Terumi, can you give it willingly?” asked Rau coldly.

Arthur was a little silent, he was bluffing his teeth in annoyance, “Unfortunately not.”

“I thought it would be.”

“Wait a minute, Ray,” Arthur stops Ray who seems to be getting angry. “I myself still don't understand what's really going on here. Mona, there's no way she'd dare shoot someone.”

Arthur begins to explain the various irregularities that occur at this time.

First, he knows Mona, a cowardly woman who doesn't even dare to hurt a mouse with her hands. There was no way he would dare shoot a human.

“In addition, you should know, right? Mona and Terumi are good friends, there is no animosity between the two. Impossible Mona will shoot him.”

“Let's finish this with a cool head. Come on, we understand what really happened, huh?” arthur said, trying to persuade Ray.

At the moment the situation is not at all favorable. Nothing can be judged white from the actions of Mona who shot Terumi for no apparent reason.

Arthur had to wisely handle this situation. Facing Erina and Ray here was not a wise thing.

‘Sial! What's with all this?! One by one things don't make sense just keep happening.’

Arthur looked at Chelsea whose body was shaking and just looked at the alternation between Ray and himself.

“Chelsea, can you describe —”

“No explanation needed,” Ray cut off Arthur's speech and pulled out his knife. ““Mona shoot Terumi” is an indisputable fact.”

“Even if they are good friends, it is just a cover. In a place like this a cruel stratagem is played.”

Arthur had no words to refute. It is a fact in a place like this that man must throw away his heart. Cruel strategies such as making good friends and stabbing in the back are all powerful ways.

Even Arthur had no argument to refute it.

“Ray, you're a smart man. You should be aware of the peculiarities of this situation, please think with a cool head. I don't want us to be hostile—”

“Close your mouth!” yang Ray with a high enough tone. “No matter how strange the situation is, Mona shooting Terumi will never change. No room for negotiation.”

Arthur realizes that Ray can no longer be compromised. In this situation, Arthur does not believe that his Degree can help him. Even if she managed to survive this, it was impossible for Mona to escape.

No matter how great the Degree is, there will always be a limit that cannot be surpassed just like that. Moreover, he no longer had a peer he could rely on.

‘Facing Erina and Ray is no easy matter!’

Arthur looked around and found no one. He might see Eric in the distance still treating his leg, asking for his help wouldn't be useful now.

“Chelsea,” call Arthur, wake the woman from her fear. “Bring Mona away from here. I'll handle both.”

Chelsea seemed to want to say something but her lips were so trembling that no words could be said. Arthur then patted her gently while handing Mona over.

“Don't worry, I'll hold them both so they won't come after you.”

Chelsea are still stuttering, he wants to say something again but cannot. As a result Chelsea can only comply with Arthur's request and leave.

“If you want Mona, then skip me first, Ray.”

The fight between the two, Ray and Arthur, seems predestined. In addition, there is also the existence of Erina that will make it harder for Arthur to win and escape this situation.
