The Degree
Treason Plans

With his chaotic condition Ray walks to the next place, he suspects there will be other tasks but turns out not to be. There are three roads, one is out while the other two are still unknown.

“What Tyson and Misa will regroup?”

Ray has no guarantee whether they will meet again or not, even though the current situation is not good. Even if there was no chance to meet the two again, Ray decided to wait and recover his strength.

He began to access the Market to research it even further because the organization has more things that are difficult to understand.

“P3K is also there, should I buy it? However, the price is quite unfortunate.”

Ray had to spend 50DP to buy one box of P3K, which meant he almost lost half the points he got from completing the task. Although there is an addition from Justina, still 50DP is not a cheap price.

There was an uncertain future that Ray had hoped for, a worry of something popping up in his head. When he intended to buy it Ray was stopped by the sound of hasty footsteps.

From the other door Misa came out, her face was drenched in blood and she looked slightly injured. Her pretty face was crying and as soon as she saw Ray she became carefree.

“Ray! Please Tyson, he's in danger!” Without revealing that Ray was hurt in such a way, Misa asked for his help.

Ray immediately approached her and asked her to catch her breath in order to explain the situation more clearly.

“Tyson, sacrifice himself so I can run! We accidentally stepped on a trap and made the fighting robot active. Tyson is currently fighting with the robots. I beg you, please save him, Ray!”

It seems Misa and Tyson are experiencing similar obstacles but the place they take is more dangerous than Ray's chosen path. Staring at Misa who was so sickened and crying, Ray was not sure that she was acting or anything like that.

“Have you completed the given task after passing it?”

“Y-yes. This place is the final destination of the task we have, as a success I just got 200DP.”

Ray narrowed his eyes for some time, he was surprised because the difference in DP received was so far away.

“Then can you share it 100DP with me? As you can see, I also went through difficult things here, even Justina fell on her way. I need guns and P3K for my wounds.”

Misa belatedly realizes that Ray has a burn and a hand wrapped in her bloody clothes, besides that she is very surprised about the truth from Justina, “So Justina already ...,” Misa immediately shook her head and refused to say it, she had to keep the feeling Ray might lose more, “As long as it could save Tyson, I have no problem even if it has to give up the body!”

Without a doubt Misa stuck her watch with Ray's and gave her half a point. Ray then tried to order a P3K and a gun, he was quite curious how the item would be delivered. This is quite expensive spending considering the P3K costs 50DP and the gun and bullet cost 150DP. Ray hopes the DP and the Market are not a fool.

Surprisingly, a dim light began to gather in front of him and began to transform into a P3K and a gun and a spare bullet.

“It ... how?” Misa could not help her surprise from that.

“It must be quantum teleportation or something. By remodeling the quantum information of an item and breaking it down into small particles so that it can move quickly. This organization is increasingly mysterious considering quantum teleportation only managed to move invisible substances and not objects.”

In the middle of the century, humans have only discovered how to move particles to other places by overhauling the quantum information of these particles.

“So how do they do it?” Misa says confused while grabbing the P3K box and dressing Ray's wounds.

Ray looks at Misa in salute as she acts as easy as breathing regardless of Tyson's situation which may be desperate. Maybe it was driven by him who was used to doing good. Whether it's the truth or the guise, since the incident with Justina, Ray held firm to trust no one in this place.

“Entahlah. Even if quantum teleportation still seems impossible, I'm sure this facility isn't an ordinary place. If my guess is correct, every place here has a certain mechanism that allows quantum teleportation to be a hundred percent successful.”

Ray is not sure if his theory is wrong because right now it is the most likely thing.

“You're very smart, Ray. What did you do before coming to this place?” Misa looks curious about it.

Ray doesn't think about it, if he recalls those days, he realizes too late that this is actually quite ironic.

“I'm just a mediocre teenager like you and Tyson.”

Finishing the Mass giving Ray treatment, he immediately led him to where Tyson was in a slight hurry. The passageway they were walking through was a little dark but both of them did not need any light as they could still see the road clearly.

As it would seem to take some time to get to his place, Ray began to access his watch in silence while attending Mass.

“Sunday once.” Ray found nothing but a hallway with little lighting. At the end of the hallway he could see a light and faintly there was the sound of someone moaning.

“Tyson!” Misa worriedly ran away leaving Ray behind her.

Ray did not need to rush, this was an opportunity, he opened the P3K box in his hand and saw what was left in it.

“At least this is enough to treat it in case something happens.” Ray nodded in satisfaction while doing something to P3K and returned to packing it.

“Tyson! Tyson! Stay with me!”

Ray could see Misa crying while holding Tyson. His condition was extremely alarming, his left shoulder was injured to such an extent that blood soaked his entire body.

“Try here.” Ray checked his breathing and pulse, Tyson seems to be fine. Ray also touched a bit of Tyson's wound and believed that he was really injured by the shot, “This is a shot, huh? Tyson probably fainted from shock. Nothing to worry about, quickly treat him.”

The teary-eyed Mass nodded strongly and began to do the treatment.

Ray heads to the other side of the room which seems to be a former fight between Tyson and the robot in question. Somehow as if no robot had been defeated by Tyson, Ray brandished a pistol and held a knife in the other hand.

“Be careful, Ray!” Mass commemorates while dressing Tyson's body with bandages.

Nodding small, Ray approached the location that had been a former fight carefully. From the charred black marks strewn across the floor, walls and ceiling, Ray was confident that the robots were using some kind of shot.

“What kind of hunters do robots use here? I did not find any marks or holes from the shots.”

Ignore the hole because maybe this place is made of strong metal until the bullet is unable to penetrate it.

“The robots .. using light bullets.” Tyson who had regained consciousness said so, his face hurt in such a way and he forced himself to get up.

Misa worriedly bandaged her wound and stopped Tyson, “You better not move much because your wound could open at any time!”

”Light hunters, you say. Great also you can avoid it with just a little hurt.” Ray looks salute to Tyson who has the ability.

Although the bullet is light but the speed is not as fast as light, it is still not an easy matter to avoid a lot of it. It would be a surprise to anyone who saw it.

“You said the robot showed up because you set a trap? More precisely, where is the trap?”

Ray searched around, starting from stepping on the floor and fumbling against the walls in hopes of finding something that might never exist.

“That button is in the corner of the room .. just keep going, you will find it.” Tyson began to stand together with Misa who extended her right hand.

His hands began to shine and gather light, then the gathered light was shot right at Ray and almost hit him.

“Reverse slowly and fall of your weapon.” Tyson's words sounded cold in such a way.

Ray seemed to tremble and throw the gun and knife obediently, then he turned to look at the two.

His face looked incredulous at what he saw at the moment, “What do you mean by this?”
