The reception room of Muguruma High School.
There, an official from the Ministry of Magic is arranging various materials on a table.
Across from the official is Tanaka, who looks uncomfortable.
“Haa, Tanaka Tenma san. Do you understand the situation?”
“I-I am very, very sorry !”
Tanaka gets off the sofa and gets down on his knees.
Since then, various information has been released.
First, Moroboshi Saika released an accusatory video, saying, [The information about the boss of the 50th tier was told to me by Yarimizu Asuka, who came to the safe area].
In addition, the blacksmith and the engineer who were in the safe area in front of the boss in the 50th tier at that time told the Ministry of Magic for fear of incurring the wrath of the absolutely powerful person named Yarimizu Asuka.
Additionally, video recordings of Asuka and Tanaka in front of the convenience store were made public.
In that short time, there are several intense contents included.
[There’s no problem with that level of class being used as a self-study.]
[With a little operation behind the scene, Asuka’s license can be revoked.]
[Since idiots are judged by their titles, I, as the recipient of a special scholarship, will be given priority.]
[Although Asuka has obtained this information, he should use it himself, not some middle school graduate adventurer.]
[You ask people to produce what they have obtained, and if they don’t, you announce that it has been stolen.]
[Society is on the side of teachers now, so going to the police is useless]
For those who came here to see people screw up, the smell is so strong that it almost makes your noses go crazy.
……In addition, Mugino Nozomi, a convenience store clerk, uploaded the video, but at that time, she did not perform that hair-raising crying act.
It may not be necessary at this point, but Asuka found it creepy watching Nozomi as well.
So it became known that all of the information that Tanaka had revealed up to this point had been researched by Yarimizu Asuka.
“This is a matter that affects the credibility of Muguruma High School. Do you really understand?”
“I am very sorry ! I’ll do my best from now—“
“Your apology will no longer solve the problem.”
“T-that’s……”
“Many of the information you released was important information that was held by one of Japan’s leading teams of adventurers. There are many people who hold a grudge against you for publishing it.”
There are different ways to look into the information.
Asuka did not extract the data from the computer used by the adventurer, but only the information he researched by himself.
The references are also well prepared.
Therefore, each of the adventurers cannot be blamed for the information being made public without their permission.
“I-I didn’t know ! I just published the information that Yarimizu Asuka researched ! I really didn’t know !”
“……Haa, there is still a point where we are disappointed in you.”
“Eh……”
“That sword belongs to Moroboshi Saika, Yarimizu Asuka said, but you did not give instructions to hold it in the warehouse of Muguruma High School.”
“W-well….”
The situation was developing so rapidly that Tanaka couldn’t keep up, but he didn’t say anything in particular.
Incidentally, in a public adventurer school, it is a rule that items obtained from the dungeon once become the property of the school and are then given to the students.
Of course, most items become the property of the students who obtained them after they are recorded by the school, but nowadays even students sometimes distribute them.
Before this rule was established, there were many cases where students who were not strong-minded enough to obtain high-performance items were unable to refuse when strongly requested to do so by upperclassmen or outside companies.
Therefore, the purpose is to protect the students’ achievements by having them stop outside interference with a single point of [I can’t give it to you because I am obligated to entrusted it to the school].
Of course, there are times, like Saika’s this time, when they have a powerful item in their hands, that they can be talked out of and held by the school.
Well, to put it simply, it is something that sometimes happens in law: [There are victims of the rules, but there are many more who benefit from them].
“With that sword, magic technology would have been by far the most advanced. We were in the closest place where we could have secured it, you know? Why didn’t you secure it?”
“I-I was in a panic…..”
“In short, that’s about all you are capable of.”
The man sighed.
“Well, there’s no point in dilly-dallying here. Your disposition has been decided.”
“Huh?”
“Before I came here, I went to Yarimizu Asuka’s place. I wondered what he would do about your theft.”
Sigh. He sighed.
“I was told that at first he wouldn’t think of filing a damage report, that he, who can dive into the 75th tier would have to say this and that with the 50th tier information.
“O-oh……”
“I just decided to have him file it.”
“Ha……”
“I’ll have the good lawyers prepared to fight for you up to 20 years in prison, which is the maximum for dungeon information theft. The information is not about 10 or 20 tiers of information, but a lot of 50 tiers of information. Well, we can aim for this much.”
“20 years…..”
For ordinary theft, the maximum is 10 years in prison.
The reason why the imprisonment is set at double that is because the information in the dungeon is of such great significance.
“Well, this is also to save your life.”
“Huh?”
“The information you have made public includes information about the dungeon that was kept secret by the anti-govenrment organizations. You never know when you might be stabbed in the back or targeted by a sniper. For that, you are safer in prison.”
“I-impossible……I-I…….”
“You are 32 years old now, and in 20 years you will be 52. Well, good luck with that.”
“W-wait a minute ! T-this is too much !”
The advent of magic has had some impact on the level of health, but even so, the average male life expectancy is about 80 years.
He spends a quarter of that time in prison. Moreover, it came with a tag that said, [He has a criminal record and was sentenced to 20 years in prison].
After 20 years, the victim’s bitterness will probably fade.
As for anti-government organizations, it is doubtful whether they even exist in the first place.
It is rare for a company to maintain its operations for more than 20 years.
The environment has probably changed.
In any case, there is no doubt that there is no place for Tanaka.
“Please rest assured. I’ll take some of the teachers at this school who neglected your current situation along for the ride.”
“O-oh……”
There is no one to help him.
The people who have the power to help are also the ones who will be punished.
All he can do is break down and cry.
“Well, I’m busy preparing for the trial, so I’ll leave you now.”
With a contemptuous look at Tanaka, the official left the reception room.
He closed the door…..
“Yarimizu Asuka…… Shall I measure whether or not he is suitable to be invited to the [Labyrinth Aristocrat]?”
He mumbled, without being heard.
