Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer
Vol. 4 - Ch. 189

It was like the world was re-enacting the situation from the day Tenji had awakened. Wasn't it the same thing he had done then?

Sensing that the death was imminent, he made a last ditch effort by biting on the eye of Black Cerberus. It was the trigger that dealt a mortal blow to Tenji, with later unable to do anything. The action he took was no different than self-suicide.

The boy called Tenji was supposed to have died once.

At the moment when his mind was razed with intense emotions and regrets, he bit on the eyes of a monster---source of energy of that high-ranked being---chewed it out and swallowed it. Though he was blown away at the end like a toy.

That day, he died once, or at least should have been. Then how was he alive? It was a miracle, or maybe he just happened to have good luck?

Alas, not everything in this world could be explained in simpler words. He didn't have any proof but there was something in his mind.

"------What will happen if a human with nothing to offer triggers compensation?"

To begin with, the compensation ability was limited to only first-grade calling. This was the conclusion of world's leading researcher, Mui Kujira, so it must be closer to the truth at the least/

Still, it was an assumption instead of the truth. A truth closer to truth and there were quite few examples to back that. Though the pool of examples was so short, there was no absolute conviction behind it. They could only draw a conclusion from the limited precedent.

And then, there was an even more bizarre case. A human with nothing to offer triggering «Compensation». Tenji was the living example of this scenario after all.

Tenji 'bartered' his 'something' with <Hell Beast Summon>.

But was it a power to achieve their ideal, or maybe it was a push to the hell no one wished for. Maybe they would become meatball, maybe they would try their best to kill themselves or maybe they would become immortal themselve like Kujira Mui. It was not such half-hearted mean after all.

When it was the result from a first-grade explorer, it was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying scenery would special-grade holders would show then.

Tenji didn't know what that something was going to be when his train of thought was blocked by Shuten-dōji's question.

"Once again......am I going to face the same day again."

Tenji was perplexed. He also didn't want to feel that swirl of emotion and situation again. Once was enough.

However, there would be nothing to save later if he threw the towel now!
