That was how she tried to think of it, yeah. Cleo nodded, happy that somebody else shared her point of view, even the one she forced onto herself in order to not go crazy whenever she was having to hand out bad news to people. One day, if she didn't already, she hoped that Quincy would...

Yeah, it's not a pleasant feeling knowing that somebody brand new got in way over their heads so quickly and nobody was around to help them out. I know I'm pretty new to this game, but I wish I could have been there to help her out. I'm no pushover after all. She'd experienced something of a...

Well I wouldn't wanna make too many assumptions, but I think I'd agree that we have it worse than office folk, since we essentially have to do office work ourselves at times. Filing cases and sorting through evidence and registering arrests are all pretty office-y jobs that most people don't...

160 Red Fever (3) | Joy (-20 HP from Retaliation damage) The signs of an approaching horde should have been terrifying, should have filled any sane person with dread. Even though they'd killed plenty of these apes, that didn't mean that they couldn't be a threat. Any normal person would feel...

Cleo nodded, chuckling at the memory of her first introduction to the Lion Arms and the whole kerfuffle with the collapsing tavern roof. Though it was a pleasant surprise that they were actually teammates in the faction. That had Cleo smiling softly. Well that's good to hear. It's always nice...

Cleo could only mentally count down, waiting for the moment that the dude actually registered her words instead of just replying on autopilot. It wouldn't take too long, but still, was it that hard to really pay attention to her? Did he know something about the food here that she didn't or...

She nodded back to the man as he slid into place on the free seat, pulling some enormous shield off of his back and placing it down. The size of the shield had Cleo blinking for a moment, looking between the shield and the person that had been carrying it. Pretty big shield for a guy his size...

The list of UI-locked players that have been provided to her by Levi, or well, that she'd seen him provide to somebody else and quickly made a mental note to copy it down, had proven to be pretty handy but also extremely useless. It was downright impossible to just track down the people on it...

I think it's actually a pretty common problem. We can get all the budget in the world, but that won't really change a thing if there aren't enough officers around to deal with everything without some people having to pull double shifts or something as equally ridiculous and spirit crushing. I...

Seeing the impact of the blunted spear, Cleo winced, allowing the walls to dissipate, as they crumbled apart into magical energy, the lancer collapsed to her knees, panting as sweat dripped from her forehead. She swallowed, her tongue feeling inflated in her dry mouth, breathing heavily in an...

Fina was impressive, that was for sure. It was definitely suspicious how skilled the girl seemed to be, when a moment or two ago she'd fairly clumsily swung a giant axe at a wall and only caused something of a minor scratch in the grand scheme of things. Was this one of those cases of somebody...

Where the hell had the pleasant person from earlier gone? Now she couldn't even set up a training scenario without getting a snide remark or something. How the hell could she possibly get through to somebody like this that she barely even knew? Maybe it would be a good idea to take a page out of...

It still felt like she was sitting next to a live grenade that could go off any minute, but Cleo did her absolute best to make sure that it never went off, or at least, that it never appeared to Quincy that the agent was feeling ill at ease. The last thing that she needed was for her own nervous...

Just because it's not the first time, that doesn't mean that offending people should be the acceptable result when they've not done anything wrong to you. Okay, now she was starting to feel like this girl was probably a teenager in real life. If she recalled correctly, a lot of people had...

Right, that was a good point. Her skills were kind of cyclical, her magic fed into her martial skills and her martial skills fed into her magic, though the latter was to a lesser extent. It wasn't as if she could draw magical power from her physical prowess, or if she could, she hadn't figured...

160 Task: Rescue Party Red Fever (2) / Disgust -15 HP from Retaliation Damage This was fifty different kinds of messed up. What cruel twist of fate could manufacture creatures with exposed brains, capable enough of thought that they were able to take captives and plan things out? Her teeth...

Mizuki had some decent points there, though she hadn't actually thought of using her Chronomancy offensively at all. How was she supposed to leverage time as a weapon against something? It was hard to think of any direct offensive uses for a magic like that. It was like she could shoot blasts of...

I've been meeting all sorts of people, some good and some very much not good, both in this game and in the real world. I can absolutely, positively, with one hundred percent certainty and confidence, tell you without a doubt, that you are far from the worst person I've ever met, or the worst...

Well, I might have lost this time, but next time for sure I'll manage to overcome you! Still, you shot well @Madison Freebird and you should be proud.

Flattery will get you everywhere, I guess. You do have a point. I guess it's just wishful thinking that you'd intentionally hit me in the armor and not hurt me all that badly. Not a sucker for a pretty face, are you? She sighed, before her eyes caught sight of Madison retrieving vials of...
