The Degree
Terumi's Capability

Ray looked at Arthur observing, even though he did not understand what was really happening.

Although he did not see the incident from the beginning Ray knew that Arthur was in the building that had previously burned and exploded.

With such a big explosion he should not have survived with only burns. How much luck does he have?

“Retsuji Arthur?”

“A-what is he?! The person that the boss asked us to be wary of him?!”

“S-one of ten dangerous rookies-!”

“So he's the one?!”

Whether what they say but one thing Ray can conclude, those people have knowledge of things Ray does not yet know.

“I don't know what you're doing and what makes you argue but ..” Ray took a step closer to those people and pulled his knife from the sheath, “... I can't ignore what you just said. It seems, you know who is the mastermind of all this.”

Before those people could say anything Ray immediately darted piercing his shoulder.

There are six people and it is not easy to handle them. Ray is able to handle two in an instant but the rest is not stupid enough to be silent.

“He is also dangerous, be careful!”

“Sial! How could he move so fast?!”

Ray wasted no time and was on his way to his next target.

The big-bodied man who became Ray's next destination. Because his body moves much slower than people in general.

“Badness!” The fat man swung his big hand at Ray but his movements were slow so Ray easily dodged.

“Goodbye!” Ray coldly conveyed it and pierced the fat man's stomach.

The knife came in but Ray was really surprised because he didn't feel like he had pierced the flesh. Not even any blood came out.

“Orrraaa!!” The man put his hands together and tried to attack Ray's head.

His actions were able to force Ray to leave his knife and keep a certain distance from him.

“It feels almost like I'm piercing a very slippery, thick yet elastic rubber.”

Ray couldn't explain it because other than his vague feelings he also had a hard time expressing it in words.

“Fu fu fu fu, you won't be able to hurt me because my fat is like rubber so no sharp object can hurt me! By the way the gun also has no effect on me, loh.”

“Entah What kind of degree do you have but you are still human.”

Ray doesn't care what the man says and keeps shooting at him. Four bullets were fired at once and the bullet only managed to punch a hole in his shirt.

“Stupid man! I told you that it wouldn't have an effect!” The fat man rubbed his stomach and made a bullet that failed to pierce him.

Ray looked at it with interest. Not only is his body full of fat but it seems that his head is also only fat.

The actions of the fat man indirectly gave Ray an understanding of his slight ability, it grew a small smile on his lips.

“Even if the knife and bullet cannot penetrate it, at least you still feel pain. Even you still feel the heat of the bullet.”

“Geh!”

“So right, yes. To me you are very unlucky that burning to death is the most painful way to get killed.”

Ray wants to do it but he is not a superhuman who is able to lift the big man.

The best way he can do is just keep shooting and make it difficult.

But everything is not that easy.

“Hey, he knows my weakness! Come quickly and protect me!”

“Ya!”

“Leave it to us!”

“Geh, I won't let you hurt the chairman more than this!”

If they were a small group that was strong enough then at least he had seen or met the mastermind of all of these things.

“I won't be quiet! From the beginning your opponent was me!”

Arthur though wounded still seems to have a lot of strength to fight back. In fact he was fighting one dangerous-looking burly man from the other two.

“Ray! Hand this fat guy over to me, I can defeat him in one way!”

Looking at Terumi who was so certain, Ray had the thought that he had one plan to defeat the fatty.

Ray admits that this time other than throwing the man into a burning building he has no other way. It was very dear because Ray used his DP and bomb for something else.

“Then be well. I also can't order anything from the Market because it's not in the basement.”

There are certain places to buy goods from the market. Secret's teleportation technology only applies inside certain dungeons and places.

In places of the outside world such as the Open World even the advanced technology Secret has not been able to teleport in the outside world.

Ray had little knowledge of this but he once theorized about his teleportation and it seems that the theory is true.

Ray soon leaves the fat man under Terumi's watch. It's also a great opportunity to see what he can do.

“Little girl like you can beat me? Ha ha ha, don't joke, even if you're beautiful, I won't be subdued. Beautiful and voluptuous alone can not conquer all men.”

“I don't know what you mean but I will beat you with your weakness.”

Terumi took something from her pocket. A large bottle with yellow liquid on the left hand and gloves on the right.

“What are you trying to do?” The fat man narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

He was quite curious about what was in the bottle but did not dare to approach because he was worried that there was something he had prepared as a trap.

“I'll beat you with this.” Terumi put down her bottle and burned her right glove with a lighter.

The gloves are on fire. While burning Terumi moved quickly and took back the bottle.

“This girl is pretty crazy!”

With her gloves on fire Terumi tried to injure the fat man yet she was fast enough in moving so as to avoid it.

Terumi smiled and started drinking the liquid in the bottle.

“That, right ...,” Ray knew what Terumi was trying to do because he had seen her once.

Terumi then raised her hand in front of her mouth and started spitting out the liquid she had stored in her mouth.

The fire in his hand spread out and it was as if he was spouting fire from his mouth.

It should be very dangerous for ordinary people to do because it has a very big risk but Ray knows what makes it possible.

“Fanatic Culture, so this is part of its ability. Able to do anything cultural related,” murmured Ray while strangling the man in his hands.

With the burst of fire the fat could not avoid it and part of his body was exposed to the burst of fire.

“Argh! Hot, hot, my body is burning!” The fat guy started rolling around because of the pain.

“This is not how much, you can feel it more if you still want to survive!” Terumi immediately drank it back.

The liquid in the bottle was undoubtedly kerosene. Terumi spat it out once more and made the fat man even more in pain.
