Rorschach had fulfilled his promise. Not only did he help Jack become famous, he even helped Jack soar.
However, the ending was slightly different from what he had expected.
"In the end, Jack escaped? And he even managed to kill me? Just what were the silver elves doing? "
[… In a way, this was all your doing. You intentionally hid the fact that he was a Spear Saint, and even repeatedly emphasized his spear throwing techniques. Wasn't this just to mislead his pursuers into fighting him in close combat?]
Rorschach fell silent. He had indeed intentionally misled the silver elves. However, he had his own plans as well.
"… I only wanted to make more trouble for the silver elves while also hiding my own abilities. I didn't expect the ending to be like this."
Rorschach intentionally "forgot" about this piece of information. Thirty percent of it was to continue making trouble for the silver elves, but seventy percent of it was for himself.
The report couldn't help but mention the fight between Jack and the "Ghost in the Fog". If the report directly stated that Jack was a level 3 job class, as well as a Saint realm warrior, and that both sides fought in close combat in the cabin of the airship, then that would be the equivalent of exposing that the "Ghost in the Fog" had melee combat abilities equal to a Saint.
And right now, Roland's bounty on his head had definitely doubled, and his life was still in danger. Obviously, it would be foolish to expose his own information.
Although Rorschach knew that since he was now wielding a sword, the information would be leaked sooner or later, or perhaps it had already been leaked, delaying it for a while would be a good thing.
"Two Legends and four level 4 job classes. Even if there was a problem with the information, they shouldn't have lost so badly."
[See for yourself. The moon elves' spies have already reported all the details of the failure. This time, not only did the silver elf War God lose face, he also suffered heavy losses.]
Rorschach flipped through the information and discovered that this was indeed his fault.
The report stated that Jack had two Legends. One was a level 5 Legend swordsman, while the other was a priest who specialized in fighting against Divine Arts.
The hunting team blocked off Jack and openly surrounded him. The swordsman even challenged Jack to a one-on-one duel. However, the moment they started fighting, not only did the swordsman underestimate Jack, he even thought that Jack wouldn't be able to fight in close combat, so he forcefully attacked and was instantly killed by Jack who revealed his true power.
In this battle, Jack displayed astonishing power as both a Legend and Spear Saint.
The remaining Legendary support and four Tier 4 players panicked and tried to surround and suppress them, but it was pointless.
The final result was four dead and two injured. Although the Legendary-ranked Priest didn't die, he was now crippled. The Silver Elf War God was probably heartbroken to lose two Legendary-ranked Priests.
If it wasn't for Jack, none of them would have survived.
"… Does this mean that the Silver Elves think that Jack is only a tier-3? The information is so wrong that it's practically murder. "
It seemed that Rorschach wasn't the only one who knew how to hide. Jack also knew how to hide. Even his former companions didn't know his true strength.
But Rorschach was still somewhat hesitant. After all …
"Is he a Legend? No, the pressure he gave me that day was far less than that of a Master. If he is really a Legend, and if the Legend in the information is really that powerful, I shouldn't be able to escape. Then, if he wasn't hiding his strength until the very end, then he must have successfully broken through in the past few days. "
Although the former was most likely, Rorschach vaguely felt that it was still the latter. Jack had broken through again in just a few days.
[Open the 76th page.]
Rorschach did as he was told, and was instantly annoyed. He wanted nothing more than to run over and stab Jack a few more times.
"Since you've come to find me so quickly, it's only natural that someone leaked information about me. And, your arrangements are so foolish … Should I thank that Elven Sword Saint X who fought against me? He obviously didn't tell you my true strength. "
Although the information related to Rorschach's name and race were marked with an X, the Silver Elves' information probably wouldn't be censored. Besides, the Silver Elves probably hated Rorschach to death.
Jack intentionally left Rorschach alive to pass on the message while also revealing Rorschach's identity and trump cards. This was Jack's revenge.
As for Jack's own future …
Ever since the day that Jack blew up his boss's airship, it was already impossible for him to return to the Silver Elves' world. Assassins and bounties would forever follow him. Since he dared to do such a thing, he must have been looking forward to such a development.
Perhaps this would be even more exciting and enjoyable for him.
As for the Aishi? Was it really that important whether or not he returned? Ansorenne was also a complete world. Not only that, it was a new world with even more opportunities.
Whenever a person suddenly became famous, their past and experiences would all be dug up, even if it was just something they said when they were young.
And if Jack was famous for being shady or a criminal, his neighbors who didn't interact with him in the past would probably say something like "I've known since I was young that Jack wasn't a good person. I knew that such a day would come."
But when the spotlight finally fell on Jack, and he was investigated with the premise that he was guilty … then the things that were exposed were truly frightening.
The heavens were always watching, and there would always be traces left behind. It wasn't that no one had ever tried to expose Jack's true colors, but they had all either disappeared, or their accusations had all been treated as a joke.
There were also all sorts of magical spells and Gods in this world. When someone investigated with the premise that Jack was guilty, it was only natural that his past would be exposed.
That was what the Divine Inquisitor who investigated Jack's case said at the time that he killed his subordinates and tortured their family members to death.
"I've been in this line of work for more than 170 years, and I've never seen such a twisted soul. If he descended to the Chaos Abyss, he would probably instantly become a Demon Lord. For such a person to actually become a descendant of the silver elves, it was almost inevitable that the Victory ship would sink. No, just one battleship was enough to clear out this ticking time bomb. That's just lucky. "
Because the moon elves and silver elves were currently tearing each other apart, all sorts of random gossip became ammunition to attack each other. This also allowed Saul and the others to understand just what kind of person Jack was. And the side effects that followed were:
[Congratulations, your bounty has increased again. You've officially joined the 300,000 club. But don't expect to scam any more idiots. The new bounty list already states that you're a Sword Saint.]
Rorschach didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did this count as his bounty increasing? Only the Legend-ranked job classes had a bounty of 300,000.
[Jack is even more amazing. 500,000, a small battleship, and 10 descendant humanoids. The silver elves are probably going crazy from anger. This bounty is more than twice your bounty. Are you jealous?]
Who would be jealous of this? Rorschach was already annoyed by the bounty list. The assassins were so dedicated to their work that it was annoying. They worked 24/7. Even at the breakfast stalls on the road, there would be a line from Assassin A who sold roasted meat to Assassin Z who sold bread.
[No, it'll be much easier for you in the future. At the very least, the noobs will consider whether or not they can deal with a Sword Saint. But if they still come looking for trouble with you in the future, they'll probably be at least Legend-ranked.]
Was this considered much easier? Rorschach didn't even know how to retort.
"Come out! Rorschach! Let's have a fair duel as knights! "
However, right after Lori finished speaking, she was immediately slapped in the face as a new challenger jumped out. In Rorschach's memories, this new challenger wasn't even a Legend.
He looked down from the window of his office and, as expected, saw a person standing with his back straight, as well as an eye-catching heavy magic armor behind him.
"… Isn't this our former class president, Ma Ma … Max?"
[Not only did you forget about your duel with him, you even forgot his name?]
"What's there to remember about a man's name? I'm not gay …"
[Then, how many girls' names do you remember about your class?]
Rorschach instantly fell silent. How could someone who hadn't interacted with remember incorrectly? If he remembered, he wouldn't have been labeled as the best family man in the world.
At this time, Rorschach noticed another problem when he mentioned his classmates.
"… Now that you mention it, I should probably go to school now. I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot. It's already very dangerous to attend."
Lori suddenly fell silent for a long while before she spoke again.
[… I thought that you'd already given up and were preparing to become a junior next year.]
"Wait a moment, there should still be hope for me, right? Stop remaining silent, I'm really panicking. Tell me, there's still hope for me! "
This silence made Rorschach panic.
[Stop arguing, I'm asking Adeline … She said that there's still a way. There's actually still a way? You're so absent that you can't even repeat a year? Your school is too much. You're such a coward. Are you paying your school fees for nothing?]
Hey, silly girl, just whose side are you on? Do you really want your brother to repeat a year so badly?
[You'll have your credits deducted if you're absent. If you don't have enough credits each semester, you might repeat a year or even drop out. Actually, Rorschach doesn't need to consider repeating a year. What he needs to consider is how not to be expelled … That was what Adeline said. However, some actions can give you extra credits, such as helping a teacher complete a class or organizing a practical mission.]
Rorschach shook his head whenever she mentioned one. There were some actions that he couldn't do, while there were some that he couldn't do in time.
[… The school allows for appropriate gambling during the magic armor competition. Credits are also a common target for gambling. Many hot-blooded idiots who messed up their theory classes used gambling to graduate.]
That's it! Rorschach's eyes instantly lit up. That horse downstairs … what was that horse? Didn't he just deliver himself to me?
[Others call him a horse … horse horse, who cares what he's called a horse? Just call him a toilet! You don't even want credits delivered to you?]
"Oh, kill that horse downstairs … horse horse, horse horse. Who cares if he's a riding boot or a toilet? As long as I get credits, I'll successfully level up!"
"I'm Matt! Matt, Matt, Matt! I'm not a riding boot, nor am I a toilet! "
Alright then, the person shouting angrily at the door was the pitiful former class president. After being ignored for so long, he finally couldn't take it anymore and directly ran upstairs.
The moment he opened the door, he heard Rorschach's words and almost had a stroke from anger.
Judging from the flames of anger in his eyes that were about to pop out, Rorschach had already completed his preparation for the duel. He had successfully made his opponent lose all sense of reason. It was just that he had done it a little too well.
[Tsk, how pitiful. Adeline said that he's been waiting for you at the academy's entrance every day, but you never came.]
Rorschach was indeed worried about something else.
"His eyes look as if he wants to eat me … His eyes are bloodshot. Eh? His eyes are white, and he's foaming at the mouth. He won't rush up and bite me, will he?
[That's Berserk, not rabies. Eh? Purebred Seljuks also have berserker bloodlines. This is a new scientific discovery. Could it be the legendary berserker bloodline? Why don't we piss him off a little more and see if he'll go completely berserk … Eh? Why is he lying down? And his limbs are twitching? He's drooling and foaming at the mouth? Could this be the legendary Second Berserk?]
Rorschach was the more reliable one. He calmly walked over and lightly touched him, then slowly walked out the door.
