"Chisato, how many floors does this temple have?" (Sai)

{This temple has 10 floors. It's safe to assume that there are Guardians in each floor.} (Chisato)

"Hmmmmmmm...…" (Sai)

{Is there something wrong, Sai-san} (Chisato)

"Yeah, there are several things that bothers me about this forest. This feeling became stronger when I entered this temple. Is there any information about the history of this place?" (Sai)

{Unfortunately, there are no information like that is provided. With regards to areas where history takes a huge part, the examinees' adaptability and information gathering is rated. Thus, the Main System didn't give us that kind of information.} (Chisato)

"Umu. It's a shame that we lack information but it's not like I desperately need it. Sealed Forest, Guardians, The Temple of Martial Pursuit, and this bad feeling of mine. I guess encountering some difficulties should be expected." (Sai)

Sai who is looking for something that leads to the next floor, found a staircase. And the stairs are leading upwards to the next floor. Since his fight with Kagerou, Sai determined that not all Guardians might be able to provide him the combat data he needs. Sai decided to assassinate the Floor Guardians. He did this to determine the ability of his opponent. If the Guardian is capable, then, he should be able to avoid being assassinated.

{Even so, your standards are too high. Your Presence Concealment, Vitrify, Murderer on a Misty Night, Restrain, Sphere Boundary, Haphazard Planning, and Planning are at EX Rank. Not to mention, your Aptitude for Slaughter, Human Anatomy Research, Human Anatomy Understanding, and Manslayer are also EX Rank. Your concealment is flawless and even if they managed to detect you, they are already half-dead due to the damage you can inflict in one strike.} (Yukina)

{He is also got his combat skills at EX Rank.} (Saaya)

{A battle of attrition is not an option, too. Kaiku-san's Godspeed increases his speed the longer the fight is.} (Sayo)

{If Sai-san obtain a Magic Circuit, who knows how strong he will become.} (Chisato)

Several meters in front of him, there is a beautiful tall woman standing there. She has a slim yet a curvaceous figure and peach skin. Her raven black hair that is tied back in a long pony tail and her light purple eyes. She wears a small pink kimono that is paired with long purple stockings.

What shock him more is the sword she held in her hand. He knew the woman's identity, so it's still not shocking for Sai. But for her to appear here with THAT sword, is what caused Sai to be shocked. If she is the one who wields that sword, then she can release the sword's abilities to its fullest extent. Those two are the pair that will make people tremble in fear if they realize what Sai realized when he laid his eyes upon her.

But Sai is different, because the VERY FIRST thought that crossed his mind is....

(Finally, a proper combat specimen.) (Sai)

As you can see, this lunatic of a researcher is not satisfied with the Guardians. Ever since he knew the name of this temple, he was very looking forward to his opponents. So, when they didn't meet his expectations, he assassinated them while feeling dissatisfied.

Now that there is a proper opponent (one that is guaranteed to survive for a couple of exchange), he exposed his presence to the enemy. After he did that, the woman locked her eyes to him, analyzing him. Sai didn't feel offended with this action, instead he continued to walk while clapping his hands.

"That is a good response. When you encountered an opponent that is unknown, you didn't attack impulsively. You analyzed the opponent the moment he appeared in order to obtain as much information as possible to enable the option of deducing while fighting. Should that be the influence of your vessel or is that a part of your abilities." (Sai)

"Who are you?" (Woman)

"Ah, I was so pleased with this encounter that I forgot my manners. I'm the Kaiku Clan's, Ninth Clan Head, Sai Kaiku, it's nice to meet you, Shigure Kosaka and the one pulling her strings, the Stand in form of a sword that suggests the God of Death, Anubis!" (Sai)
