However, this was something he had kept deep in his heart and had never told anyone.
His relationship with Kurumi was based on this, but it seems that Kurumi's pursuit goes beyond that.
She seemed to be exploring something deeper beneath the surface.
The newly released "Dimensional Ranking" provides them with an opportunity to understand the world they have worked on for the past five years.
After all, it's not just what's recorded on the [Dimensional Ranking], but also the people who publish it.
They must know about the existence of something, so for Kanzaki Hikaru now...
The goal was to seek the truth of this world, but the only unexpected thing was that he himself became the target of everyone's criticism.
This made him realize that his efforts to hone his skills were indeed worthwhile.
Sixth-Dimensional Intervention
This is Kanzaki Hikaru's ability. When he first saw this ability, he was completely baffled.
After all, the meaning of the so-called sixth-dimensional interference is completely unclear, and it has been studied from various common sense perspectives.
The only thing that can be done is to slightly distort space, but that's all.
However, Kanzaki Teru later saw a report from Academy City, which stated that many people had seemingly ordinary and weak abilities.
But in reality, it's just what it looks like; if used flexibly, it can become a powerful ability.
So Kanzaki Teru began to understand what the so-called sixth dimension was like.
However, for people living in the third-dimensional world, gaining any understanding of the sixth dimension is an extremely difficult task.
If zero-dimensional is a point, one-dimensional is a line, and a tangent is a point.
Two-dimensional space is a surface without thickness, and a tangent line is a point.
Similarly, this means that the concept of time needs to be introduced for four-dimensional space.
Four-dimensional space can see everything from birth to death; a tangent is a three-dimensional space.
The fifth dimension introduces the concept of parallel universes, and ultimately, six-dimensional beings will be able to jump across all possibilities on all timelines.
However, Kanzaki Teru certainly doesn't have such a monstrous ability, but it is just like the name of the ability.
He is capable of actively interfering with the six dimensions, which is almost equivalent to a twenty-one-dimensional verification.
Even Shirai Kuroko only performed eleventh-dimensional verification.
In other words, Kanzaki Hikaru can perform dimensional calculations on a certain space.
Anomalies occurring in other parallel universes will then be reflected in this space.
When he first used this ability, Hikaru Kanzaki had no idea what would happen each time he intervened.
He even broke off one of his arms, but after countless experiments...
Finally, 770 restored that arm, a feat that even amazed Kanzaki Teru himself.
However, there are still many unexplored and untested aspects of this capability, since it involves the same interference methods.
However, the result was completely different, and Kanzaki Teru had no idea why.
Therefore, only those intervention methods that would produce stable results were retained, since unstable interventions are far too dangerous.
"But that's a problem."
Watching Oda's departing figure, Kanzaki Teru fell into deep thought.
After all, this would mean the trail goes cold again, and this place is not a safe haven.
Kanzaki Teru decided to relocate first, and during the relocation, Kanzaki Teru fell into thought again.
Although the method of obtaining these points is unclear, it becomes apparent upon closer examination.
In fact, they didn't even know how to win this round of the competition, although they wrote that winning first place would grant them any wish.
Chapter 223: Assassin
However, there is no time limit, let alone who to contact to claim the reward after winning first place.
However, quite a few people actually believed in this bizarre competition full of loopholes, and thus directly approached Kanzaki Teru.
You seem troubled.
A figure emerged from the shadows.
To be honest, it's strange that these people always seem to appear from dark corners.
"What? What brings you here this time?"
Today, Kanzaki Teru has already met people with various motives who have come to see him.
Some people seek cooperation, some seek profit, and some seek their lives.
Although he didn't make a move immediately, the person in front of him was also releasing an aura of vigilance.
So Kanzaki Teru didn't miss this point either, and stared intently at him.
However, a strange feeling also arose: this person's existence seemed exceptionally unstable.
It seemed as if he could disappear at any moment, making it truly difficult to ascertain whether he actually existed in that place.
"You can call me Assassin. I'm here to help you."
"what is your purpose?"
"Hahaha, it's so easy to talk to smart people."
Since that's how you see it, I won't hide anything anymore. Please—give me the right to first place.
"Can I take this as you wanting me to die a poetic expression?"
"That's not the case. I'm not so presumptuous as to be your enemy."
But you don't seem to care about this so-called first place, in which case I can offer you some assistance.
And once you've achieved your goal, all you need to do is fulfill my wish.
Upon hearing Assassin's words, Kanzaki Teru fell into deep thought.
"That depends on what you can offer."
"It can be considered a perk, but I can provide you with something you'd like to know first."
How much do you know about the truth behind this [Dimensional Ranking]?
Clearly, the other party had not expected Kanzaki Hikaru to ask this question, and Assassin remained silent.
However, since he didn't directly deny it, it means he knows something, although this silence is also quite intriguing.
However, Kanzaki Teru did not rush to urge him, and Assassin seemed to be waiting for instructions.
They remained in that standoff with Kanzaki Teru for less than a minute before he finally spoke.
Why would you want to know this?
Do you need to know?
The unknown is the most terrifying thing, so Kanzaki Teru doesn't intend to reveal his secrets.
"I was just curious."
"Are you curious, or is the person who instructed you curious?"
"I have no comment on that."
Upon hearing his answer, Kanzaki Teru was certain that the other party was indeed acting under someone else's orders, but it could also be a smokescreen.
"Then can you tell me what you know?"
"Alright, since I promised you, I'll tell you a few things first."
Assassin took out something resembling a scroll from his pocket and tossed it into Kanzaki Teru's hands.
"what is this?"
"This is a study of the world."
Hearing this, Kanzaki Teru became interested.
I casually flipped through a few pages. Although I couldn't fully understand the content, it didn't seem like something I'd just made up to fool him.
"Alright, I'll accept the gifts and temporarily form an alliance with you, but..."
"Don't worry, we won't interfere with you."
After saying this, Assassin disappeared into the night.
At the same time, dozens of surrounding auras also disappeared.
It seems that if Kanzaki Teru doesn't agree, the other party is prepared to try diplomacy first and then resort to force.
In a hotel room, in front of everyone, Kanzaki Teru was looking through the scroll he had obtained.
To be honest, the feel of this scroll made him reluctant to imagine what it was made of.
After all, if it really was that thing, Kanzaki Teru might have developed a psychological trauma.
However, just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
He could only console himself that he had made a mistake, but such consolation was ultimately just self-deception.
"...Magic...Ability...Bloodline...Sect—"
Looking at the obscure and difficult words on the scroll, Kanzaki Teru also felt a bit of a headache.
However, a general outline has been pieced together: the world is not as it appears on the surface.
Everything is made of magic, and all life is provided by magic.
Although it represents the author's subjective opinion, it still offers considerable insight.
"There are three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Man. Each place is also divided into regions, just like the human realm."
As he read the words written on the scroll, Kanzaki Teru tried his best to understand their meaning.
Although all the words were in red, Kanzaki Teru tried hard not to notice it.
