Nico: ......
Billy: ... S- So, what's the verdict? How did my assignment turn out...?
Nico: ......
Billy: ...... Nico-paisen?
Nico: Your speed gets a passing grade.
Billy: Really!?
Nico: Just your speed.
Billy: W- What do you mean...?
Nico: Is this approach something you came up with?
Billy: Y- Yeah... I guess you can tell, huh?
Nico: I can. This is not something I would teach you.
Billy: Huh......
Nico: It might get past the monitoring system, but if the server is sending logs to another server in real-time, you'll get caught.
Billy: !?
Nico: This is a bit of a blunder.
Billy: Kh...... Sowwy, Nico-paisen.
Nico: No need to apologize. Why did you opt for this method?
Billy: Ueh, I might have panicked a bit...
Nico: Panicked?
Billy: I learned many skills while training under you, but these days, I feel like I'm not getting better, like I've hit a wall...
Billy: Ywes...
Nico: Hm.
???: "Big bro, teach me how to crack too!"
Nico: ......
Billy: ... Nico-paisen? What's wrong?
Nico: Just thinking.
Billy: WAIT, am I getting kicked out...!?
Nico: No, actually, I was thinking the opposite.
Billy: The opposite...?
Nico: To make sure I don't repeat my mistakes, I need to teach you properly.
Billy: ...?
Nico: I'm about to give you a new task. Get on it right away.
Billy: P- Please, be gentle with me......
Nico: First, take a look at this.
Nico: Your task is to sneak a peek at this private account's posts.
Billy: NO, NO! Checking out a random person's personal info is just wrong.
Nico: Normally, that's not okay. But this account is fine.
Billy: ...? If you tell me to do it, I’ll do it. It seems pretty easy.
Nico: Do you really think I would give you such an easy task?
Billy: That's...
Nico: You get the idea. Alright, start.
Billy: Gotcha!
Billy: W- Wait a minute, Nico-paisen, what's with this private account!? We're not just talking about two-factor authentication here, it's protected like crazy!?
Nico: I told you it wouldn't be an easy task.
Billy: Eeep! It's automatically doing reverse tracking now!?
Hey, is this the account of some big shot in a foreign country!?
Billy: The boss of the underworld, then!?
Nico: Maybe?
Billy: I feel like my life is in danger though!?
Nico: You'll be alright as long as you remain untraceable.
Billy: Ueeeeeh, I really need to get through this!! For my own safety!!!
Nico: Hang in there.
Billy: Huff, I've got into the account...
Nico: Okay, it's passable. I think he'll catch on, but he won't be able to trace it back to you with this.
Billy: Huh, what do you mean? Did I mess something up??
Nico: No, you cleared the task, so it's all good.
Billy: Phew...... You're too much, Nico-paisen... Even Asch-paisen isn't this strict...
Nico: So it was Teo's account after all? The security was super tight, and the style seemed like Teo's, so I figured it was him.
Billy: ...... Wait, did you make me do that just to check?
Nico: You're half correct.
Billy: What about the other half?
Nico: You lost to Teo before, right?
Billy: ......!
Nico: You're improving, too. So, no need to feel rushed.
Billy: Ueue, Master Nico! I'll follow you forever!
Nico: Forever? No way. Just until you surpass me.
Billy: That could very well take forever!
Nico: ... That would be a problem.
[Phone rings]
I knew it.
Teo: 「Did you break into my private account, big bro!? 」
Nico: ... It wasn't me.
Teo: 「Liar! You're the only one who could get through that security! 」
Nico: Do you have any proof it was me?
Teo: 「I don't have any.」
Nico: If you're going to doubt me, at least show me some real evidence first.
Teo: 「It's really mean to check out someone else's account, by the way! I've got things in there I don't want anyone to see.」
Nico: I'm telling you it wasn't me. And honestly, if it's something weird, just don't write it down.
Teo: 「Ugh, it's not like it's that big of a deal...!」
Nico: Is this approach something you came up with?
Billy: Y- Yeah... I guess you can tell, huh?
Nico: I can. This is not something I would teach you.
Billy: Huh......
Nico: It might get past the monitoring system, but if the server is sending logs to another server in real-time, you'll get caught.

Nico: Panicked?
Billy: I learned many skills while training under you, but these days, I feel like I'm not getting better, like I've hit a wall...
I'm always getting stuck on the same issues, so I thought I'd try to come up with my own solutions...
Nico: But that backfired on you.
Billy: Ywes...
Nico: Hm.
???: "Big bro, teach me how to crack too!"
Nico: ......
Billy: ... Nico-paisen? What's wrong?
Nico: Just thinking.
Billy: WAIT, am I getting kicked out...!?

Billy: ...?
Nico: I'm about to give you a new task. Get on it right away.
Billy: P- Please, be gentle with me......
Nico: First, take a look at this.
Billy: This seems like just another social media account. I can't see what they're posting since it's private, but... what's up with this?
Nico: Your task is to sneak a peek at this private account's posts.
Billy: NO, NO! Checking out a random person's personal info is just wrong.
Nico: Normally, that's not okay. But this account is fine.

Nico: No, you cleared the task, so it's all good.
Billy: Phew...... You're too much, Nico-paisen... Even Asch-paisen isn't this strict...
So, whose account is this? It's just full of posts like 'I'm tired' or 'I was napping'...
Mysterious account: Big bro is just too small. Seriously, with how much he eats, how is he so short?
Maybe I should go visit big bro at HELIOS... ah, but... I'll just sleep on it first...
Billy: Hey, is this... your little bro, Nico-paisen?
Nico: So it was Teo's account after all? The security was super tight, and the style seemed like Teo's, so I figured it was him.
Billy: ...... Wait, did you make me do that just to check?
Nico: You're half correct.
Billy: What about the other half?
Nico: You lost to Teo before, right?
But this time, you won. This could help you notice your progress a little, don't you agree?
Billy: ......!
Nico: You're improving, too. So, no need to feel rushed.
I'll look after you until you're fully ready.
Billy: Ueue, Master Nico! I'll follow you forever!
Nico: Forever? No way. Just until you surpass me.
Billy: That could very well take forever!
Nico: ... That would be a problem.

Hello?

Teo: 「Ugh, it's not like it's that big of a deal...!」
Billy: (Little bro posted about Nico-paisen, but... maybe it's better to keep that to myself.)
