Chapter 12 - 11: Behind the Scenes, Spectator, and Spectacle

"Ojou-sama, your tea." The blue haired maid offering tea to her master, who is currently chuckling while watching something. The Self-proclaimed Onee-chan is watching Sai's action through a special kind of mirror.

"Fufufufu, I predicted that he will do something but not up to this extent. As I thought, he is really wonderful, very wonderful." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

Seeing her master praise the impudent man that not only disgraced her in front of her master, he also put a stain on her pride, irritated her.

"What's so good about him Ojou-sama? He is only a slaughterer that l.u.s.ts for blood. He is devoid of conscience and honor. There's no difference between him and a ghoul." (Blue Maid)

"Slaughterer? Devoid of conscience and honor? I can say that the latter is true, but I don't think so about the former." The Self-proclaimed Onee-chan picks up her tea cup, puts the edge in her lips and sips the tea.

"What does that mean, Ojou-sama?" The Blue Maid inquires.

"Did you really think that he slaughtered them for the sake of enjoyment?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Yes. Just from the look at his face when he is killing the examinees, it's evident. He's enjoying the madness from the chaos he caused." (Blue Maid)

"That might be true, if you only based it from what you saw." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Eh?" (Blue Maid)

"Think about it. The man who almost outwit us, disabled your mind-reading, and talk to us in such a manner. When he is talking to us, his voice is so calming despite the words that seemed arrogant but those are nothing but words, there's no emotion in them. And his gaze is like he already seen through us, as if we are so transparent, even though he cannot read minds like you. You also felt it, didn't you? The feeling of drowning in a tranquil ocean while being ignorant about the fact that you are drowning." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"That's...." (Blue Maid)

"A man that is capable of releasing that kind of feeling, turns out to be a blood-l.u.s.ting slaughterer. That might become the joke of the year." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Is there even a meaning to his actions, Ojou-sama?" (Blue Maid)

"I can't hear him because this mirror doesn't permit sound, fortunately, Manager agreed to let me know the results. With that, I can speculate what happened. What you saw is not a massacre, it's just an exploitation." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Exploitation? What did he exploit?" (Blue Maid)

"What is the original purpose of this examination?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"To test the Pseudo Reincarnation and to see if there are bugs and loopholes that may be...… Ah!" (Blue Maid)

"That's right, he exploited those bugs and loopholes to their very limit. I will explain it so you can understand." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"First, should be the famous 'why done it'." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Why done it?" (Blue Maid)

"It is the motive of the crime." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Motive…..." (Blue Maid)

"Why would he kill all the examinees? Since the emotional motive is invalid seeing that he is someone that is apathetic not to mention all the examinees are strangers to him so there's no vendetta involved. The motive I deduced is to gain an absolute advantage to ALL examinees." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"All examinees? Does he even need an advantage if all the examinees are dead?" (Blue Maid)

"All dead? They're still alive, aren't they?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Alive? No...…. that's impossible." (Blue Maid)

"Yes, it is." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Their examinations will be conducted after this, and there's no advantage to examinees that you will not even compete with!" (Blue Maid)

"No, there is. And that is the long-term advantage. Think about it, the rest of the examinees are doing their best to compete with each other while he is out there hoarding all the currencies, experiences, skills and treasures for himself." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"That can't be, he was only given a short time to prepare. He can't make a plan like that." (Blue Maid)

"But he did. Now let's move on to the next motive. The next motive is to exploit the bugs. Let us discuss first his circ.u.mstances. He only has a small amount of information before we sent him away so there's no way he can know about the bugs. But he did. How? There are 2 sources of clues for him, me and the System Terminal." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Ojou-sama is?" (Blue Maid)

"When I was explaining the reason why the examinations were conducted, gave him doubts. And the System Terminal confirmed his doubts." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"The Beta Testertitle and the honest System Terminal. Those are the only clues he needed. The Beta Tester title that let him know that my examination is an experiment. And the fact that the System Terminal knows everything that is related to the examination. Even though the System Terminal doesn't know our motives, as long as he has that information, he can easily deduce multiple hypothesis, eliminate all the wrong ones and arrive at the correct answer." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"To think that a mere human is capable of that feat…..." (Blue Mai)

"It seems that your opinion of him have slightly improve." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"T-that's not it, Ojou-sama. I only recognize that he has a bit ability, he is still not a match for Ojou-sama." (Blue Maid)

"Thank you. But we just finished discussing about his motives, I wonder how will you react if we finished everything." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Is that not everything, Ojou-sama?" (Blue Maid)

"Of course not, we still haven't talk about the execution of the crime and the things he gained. Now, let's talk about how he executed that massacre. That was a gamble for him in the first place. No matter how extraordinary he is, it's still impossible to slaughter all the examinees. The examinees can just work together to kill him. So, what should he do to prevent the examinees from working together?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"He must prevent someone to lead the examinees." (Blue Maid)

"Correct answer. In coordination of people with that quantity, one must take charge of ordering them. And that situation allows one to order people easily." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Indeed, if a person is in a state of panic hears orders that has been spoken with confidence and the speaker is composed, it will give that person a feeling that the speaker's order will give the person the safety they need. Thus, they will follow the speaker." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"So, Sai begun the slaughter immediately, killing people swiftly, and it caused the chaos he needs. Once a leader rises up, he will kill them immediately. Even if they have the mentality that they are the group and the enemy is alone, that will not still stop their fear. Remember, the ones that are participating my examination are lab rats, they have no capabilities to match Sai's relentless killing." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Not to mention, there is the barrier that will prevent their escapes. How ironic, the barrier that should be protecting them from outside threats became a cage that will kill them. But he still has four days to kill them all, why did he force himself to kill all the examinees in one day?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"For others, they will take their time in killing them, but Sai will not. It must be during his attack in the Central Base Camp. As you have seen, although the examinees are low-quality ones, they are still some that was able to adapt in the situation. He noticed this when he saw examinees that was able to operate the System Terminal to equip themselves in such a short time. What he wants is to prevent all the examinees to familiarize with their current situation. Confused with their current situation, anxiety to what will happen next, denial to the fact that they died, he had taken advantage of the examinees' state of mind. It will take time to accept reality and adjust to their current situation. Fortunately, there are no means of communication in the early game, since it will be available once the fifth day arrived. Or else the people in other Base Camps will get prepared. No one wants to die a second time, after all." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"And then, he used the teleportation crystals since there is a barrier that is preventing to go outside." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"And there you have it, Sai executed his plan flawlessly. After the massacre, what do you think he gained in it?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"He has no competitors?" (Blue Maid)

"That's also a part of it, but he gained more than that." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Please enlighten me." (Blue Maid)

"It's something that Manager told me. It seemed that there is a bug that happens when a player dies." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Bug?" (Blue Maid)

"A bug that treats the everything that a player possessed as a drop item. As you know, if you killed a monster there's a chance of a drop item and the drop item will go to the one who killed it. As for this bug, it treated everything that a player owned as a drop item. Stat Points, Unassigned Stat and Skill Points, Gifts, and Blessings, everything will go to him." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"But Ojou-sama said that drop items will only appear by chance. If that is the case he will not gain that much since it depends on his luck." (Blue Maid)

"That's the other bug, drop items are guaranteed to appear." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"What...?" (Blue Maid)

"The gifts of the Beta Testers are different to the other nine batches since they were forced to be lab rats, they should be compensated accordingly. And the Main System put a lot of treasure in the examination grounds as compensation. But all of the luxurious gifts and treasure went to one person." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"This is no longer gaining advantage to the examinees of other batches; it will be a one-sided oppression." (Blue Maid)

"I even doubt if he is interested in doing that. Anyways, the manager said that the Main System is satisfied with the developments so far, Sai exposed many bugs and loopholes and decided to give him rewards after this." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"He already has that much gains and they still want to add it?" (Blue Maid)

"They said that: 'Unlike the authorities in your place, we don't oppress talented people. If a person shows their competence and achieved great feats, they will be awarded generously.'" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"I, too, agree with that statement." (Blue Maid)

"Indeed, compared to Sai's world and the Main System, the people with authority here practices favoritism and nepotism so much. It's obvious that they will decline. The people in Sai's world are much smarter than the people here." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"I'm fed up with the people here. I wanted to complete the mission assigned to me by 'the main body' so I can get away from here." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)
