Instant Death Vol 1 Chapter 3 [WN Version]

 Inside the bus, the various colored lights emitted by the students mixed up, creating a fantastic atmosphere.

"There is differences in abilities depending on the color, but let's just say that the brighter person is stronger. The light will disappear after a while. I think it is better to remember who seems stronger later. The stronger you are, the better your chances of survival." (Shion)

Perhaps taking Shion's advice, the students began to look around the bus in desperation.

Some students, like Tomochika, do not shine as brightly as others, but these seem to be few and far between.

"You have just installed version 02.87.05.11 of a system called Battle Song. If the installation was successful, you should see a lot of logo images of the licensee in front of you. I know it's annoying, but this is only at the beginning, so please bear with it." (Shion)

Tomochika, who had been standing, sat down and stared at the space in front of her.

The only thing she can see is the seat in front of her.

There wasn't any logo or anything that Shion just said.

"Mikochi, do you see something??" (Tomochika)

Tomochika felt uneasy, asked Romiko who was sitting next to her.

"Yeah, there's some colourful, unfamiliar text floating in front of me. Oh, it says status. It's in Japanese. What is it?" (Romiko)

It seemed that it was visible to everyone except Tomochika.

Tomochika began to wonder if this was a bad sign. She couldn't help but feeling that she was being left out of the circle.

"You can use your powers the way you want. and use those powers to become a Sage. The deadline is one month." (Shion)

"E-Excuse me!" (Tomochika)

Tomochika stood up and spoke to Shion.

"What is it?" (Shion)

"May I ask a question?" (Tomochika)

"Yes." (Shion)

Shion smiled serenely.

"Well, I didn't shine and I didn't see any logos or anything." (Tomochika)

"Ah, what a pity." (Shion)

Shion immediately showed an expression of pity.

"Unfortunately, there are some people who are not compatible. even I can't do anything about it, so please just give up." (Shion)

Tomochika was shocked at how easily it was cleared up. she have a feeling that this is a very bad situation.

"All right, let's continue. You will create a community, a clan. And produce sage from this clan within one month. You can work together to make one person, or each individual can aim to become a sage. The method is up to you." (Shion)

"But why were we chosen?!" (Tomochika)

Tomochika, in a desperate mood, said in a fighting tone. There were stares from all around her, as if to say, (Don't ask anything unnecessary).

"It is based on statistics. There is a high probability that a sage will produce from this group. That is what we have calculated." (Shion)

"Then what if no one manages to be sage?!" (Tomochika)

"Good question, the entire clan will be turned into cattle and your magic power will be extracted. You will be crammed into a dark magic tank where you will spend the rest of your life. So do your best, okay?" (Shion)

The future was even more dire than she had expected, and Tomochika could say nothing more.

"But when a sage is born, you will become his or her followers and your authority in this world will be guaranteed. The first mission will start in an hour. Please don't suddenly get wiped out in this mission, okay?" (Shion)

And after that, Shion left the bus. Immediately there was an uproar on the bus.

"'What the hell is this? It doesn't make any sense at all." (Tomochika)

Tomochika leaned back in her seat.

"Ah, there's a mission description." (Romiko)

Romiko, not too fazed by the situation, spoke in her usual way.

According to Romiko, the mission was like this:

First mission.

Objective: To reach the north city of the Plain of Dragons, where you are now.

Main Enemy: Dragon (average level 1000)

Advice:

Dragon's favorite food is humans. If you leave the bus without a plan, you will surely be attacked.

And at the moment you cannot defeat the dragon.

Until the start of the mission, the bus is safe because it is protected by barrier. Make a plan before you go.

"There is no way a dragon here." (Tomochika)

Tomochika looked out of the window.

The bus is surrounded by idyllic grasslands, and it's hard to imagine that there are any monsters around.

Then, when she squinted and looked far away, she could see something like a castle wall.

The destination city seems to be over there.

"Everyone! Listen up!" (Boy voice)

In the midst of the confusion, a boy stood up and walked forward.

His name is Yazaki Suguru.

When he called out, everyone fell silent.

"I still don't understand what's going on, but for now, it seems that there is no choice but to clear this mission, and it requires everyone's cooperation." (Yazaki)

Suddenly he became the leader.

Tomochika thought that someone would protest, but surprisingly everyone seemed to be convinced.

"Hey, are you sure you want to leave this matter to Yazaki-kun?" (Tomochika)

Tomochika ask Romiko in a whisper.

"For now we need someone who can lead the whole class." (Romiko)

"That may be true, but ... "

Tomochika was the one who felt a little uncomfortable.

"First of all, I want to know everyone's abilities. Can you write down your name and status in a memo and bring it to me?" (Yazaki)

For some reason, no one objected to Yazaki's proposal.
