Chapter 7: agitation is also possible with a single sentence, but what if I want to refute it

“Hey, Inquisitor, wait just a moment?!”

I thought I had seen this heretic somewhere before, but it turned out to be that newbie from last time. Despite all my efforts, they still haven’t repented. I can’t shake the suspicion that my skills as an Inquisitor might be lacking. Well, it’s a different world, so I guess that’s only natural.

At that moment, as I was lifting my long-time friend, the Warhammer, the newbie heretic in front of me sent a request for a one-on-one chat. What should I do? Honestly, I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone right now. The accusations of being a hacker and the financial issues in the real world have been constantly bothering me. I just want to make the heretic repent like I did in the other world, without thinking too much.

“Sigh…”

But if this heretic newbie is requesting a one-on-one chat to repent and make confession, even though my role as an Inquisitor is different from a regular priest, the fact remains that I am still a priest. Therefore, I can do everything a regular priest does, including hearing confessions.

…Alright. Given that this person has gathered enough courage to request confession, I cannot refuse. With a calm and reverent heart, I slowly accepted the one-on-one chat request.

[Tuni: Inquisitor]

[Tuni I have a question to ask. Is that alright?]

What greeted me was an unexpected question. …Could it be that they’re not seeking confession? No, originally, in confessions, there is a tendency to first ask if their sins can truly be forgiven.

[Inquisitor: Yes, please feel free to ask anything]

At times like this, it’s important to approach gently to build trust…

[Tuni: Do you have anything to say about the recent hacking controversy?]

– What the…?

– What’s going on with this person?

My thoughts momentarily stopped. But instead of pondering what this chat might mean, I quickly reached the conclusion to just take action. As I was about to lift the Warhammer and strike,

[Tuni: If you’d like to clarify, I think I can help!]

ᅳHelp a hacker?

– So Tuni is an acquaintance then

– Me

– Lock

The chat room began to flare up significantly with the comment about helping with clarification, but Tuni wasn’t bothered. Given the current situation with disruptive comments coming in regardless, she decided that it would be better to use this as an opportunity.

‘No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like hacking. If it were, they would have gone silent amidst the controversy.’ Of course, Tuni wasn’t completely sure, but it didn’t matter much. ‘Whether it’s hacking or not, there’s a way to clear things up…’

If it was a hack, the story should be twisted into content for an exposé.

If it wasn’t a hack, then it would be helpful to clear up the misunderstanding and gather viewers.

No matter what anyone says, he was the most famous user in the New Dimension world right now.

“He’s probably frustrated right now, being accused of hacking when he’s not. But how could an ordinary person even begin to understand how to clear up such a misunderstanding? In that situation, I’m here to help. He gets to clear his name, and I get content for my broadcast.”

It was a simple story.

It was a world where no one got hurt. … or so Tuni genuinely believed.

[Tuni: I’m a streamer active on Liming (Input)]

[Inquisitor: Why do I need to clear anything up?]

But that conclusion came from Tuni’s complete misjudgment of the opponent, ‘Inquisition.’

The opponent was the most famous lunatic in New Dimension, restricted to priest users.

“…Huh?”

[Inquisitor: Why are you yelling that I’m hacking when you can’t do it yourselves???]

Inquisitor (self-proclaimed).

“…Huh?”

-??? : I’m not hacking, it’s just that you’re terrible (actual words spoken)

─Screwing over someone who’s trying to help… makes him even cooler… walking the path of a king…

―Just a complete lunatic, seriously

[Inquisitor: I don’t need to clear anything up, but you keep asking me to. What’s with that?]

[Inquisitor: If everyone better than you was a hacker, then professional gamers would be hackers too, right?]

[Inquisitor: Is this the Three-person in Phoenix thing or whatever?]

“Um, how should I put this…”

─Propaganda can be done in just one line, but whatever

─So why are you trying to talk to a hacker

-Tuni, I think you lost ᄋᄋ

[Tuni: No, it’s just that (Input)]

[Inquisitor: Anyway, I don’t have anything to clear up]

[Inquisitor: Given the uncertain information and how you’re judging others]

[Inquisitor: You still seem to be a heretic]

[Inquisitor: Repent]

〔1-on-1 conversation with Inquisitor has ended.〕

The chat with ‘Inquisitor ended with that message.

Bam!

A clear and clean sound resonated.

(Death)

Thanks to that, Tuni saw the death notification from the system, which she hadn’t wanted to see for a long time.

“Let’s just go with the idea that this person is a hacker?”

The final rebellion.

Title: Inquisition’s Hack Inquiry Response ᄏᄏ】

[Posted by: 00]

[My Inquiry]

[Title: Query about illegal program usage by the nickname Inquisitor]

[Content: Recently, there have been many discussions in the New Dimension community about a user with the nickname ‘Inquisitor using illegal programs. I want to know if this is true.]

[Response: Hello. This is New Dimension Customer Service.]

[We have also been keeping an eye on the discussions about illegal programs in the community.]

[However, it was confirmed that no illegal programs were found from external sources, and there is no record of external programs being used in the game. This is the conclusion.]

[Thank you.]

All those claiming hacks, shut up ㅋㅋ

HeadBreakingPriest:  Claiming it’s a hack doesn’t make sense

└NewDGallery1: They might have just missed it, doesn’t make sense to say it’s not

└HeadBreakingPriest: These idiots keep complaining even when the official statement says it’s not a hack

ㅋㅋ If it’s not a hack, come out, those who said you’d quit or distribute items

└EXent: Stand in line

Loo: Line up

Loo: Line up, gooo

UnderWorld: So that gameplay was actually possible for a human?

┗UnderWorld: I thought it might not be a hack, but it’s surprising with the official announcement ㅋㅋ

【Title: Saint <<< If this idiot is like that, upvote this ㅋㅋㅋ】

【Written by: 00】

Getting beaten even 3:1 and saying ‘this idiot is hacking’

Even if people who play a bit in AOS say it’s their own fault and not a hack, it’s still a hack  VP or whatever

Ah… so freaking pathetic, Saint!

If this isn’t fake, I’ll upvote 100 times

└NewDigiGallery1: That’s fake, you crazy idiot

【Title: Honestly, Saint blew things out of proportion, and that’s why he’s getting criticized】

【Written by: 00】

Most Priest users dislike the ‘Inquisitor character, but he responded so poorly.

【Recommended: 3 / Not Recommended: 1】

ConfirmedGachaEssential: Honestly, it was pretty pathetic

How did this keep happening?

└LoveHateGame: Causing trouble in the community and gallery

└LoveHateGame: Even those who thought it might not be a hack were pushed as hacks

└LoveHateGame: Then when the official statement came out, they said the company couldn’t catch it, and went silent

Loo:  So freaking pathetic

└NewDigiGallery1: Honestly, there were plenty of doubts, but that guy was way over the top

└NewDigiGallery1: The commotion in the community was really absurd

【Title: ???: Why do I have to make a statement, you idiots 】

【Written by: ᄋᄉᄋ】

[Inquisitor: Why are they accusing me of hacking when they can’t do it themselves???]

[Inquisitor: I have nothing to explain, but they keep asking for an explanation]

[Inquisitor: If being better than them means being a hacker, then pro gamers must be hackers too, right?]

[Inquisitor: Is this some kind of three-man conspiracy or something?]

There was a reason for the hate towards the person trying to help…

The person who felt wronged for being forced to explain even though there was nothing to explain…

The person who was just confident in their own skill…

The one who just threw facts…

Freaking pathetic ‘Inquisitor!’

【Recommended: 118 / Not Recommended: 32】

ᄋᄋ: Come to think of it, it must have been really absurd for you. ᄏᄏ

└xᄋᄉᄋ:  I was just playing normally, and suddenly there were accusations of hacks and stuff

MELA: Well, even though they’re idiots, it’s really impressive.

MELA: Especially with parrying and stuff, I would never have made that judgment

【Title: Saint’s Apology Is Out!!!】

[Posted by ᄋᄋ]

(Saint Apology.jpg)

Summary in three lines:

1. From my judgment, it was absolutely impossible play, so I thought it was hacking.
2. But it turns out it wasn’t.
3. But seriously, leaving that kind of play unchecked is just wrong, right?
4. And you guys also cursed it as hacking with me, you bastards.

This guy can’t even apologize properly

【Upvotes: 118 / Downvotes: 32】

ᄋᄋ: Yeah~ I didn’t curse~

Apocalypse Is Coming: Just throwing 10 burgers would sink it, aren’t you an idiot?

└NewD Gallery1: —

Currently, the most talked-about figure in the NewD-related community is the Inquisitor.

The hacking controversy itself has started to settle with the game’s official stance, but the discussion about him continues in the community.

And the person who had no intention of clarifying, Selene, is.

“Ugh…….”

Quietly dying in her room.
