## Story

1/4
In the auditorium, Cyrille is making a huge scene over his Karma points. He desperately wants to know what sort of algorithm decides the worth of his life. According to Cyrille, there must be rules, equations, and standards for how everything is calculated for Soul Reapers. He continues to berate and question the manager but to no avail; they have no answer for him. Cyrille declares that as an intelligent being he has to protect his rights, and he refuses to blindly accept the results given, "like an idiot," by an "unqualified organization." Leader Nyang, prepared for this moment, appears to solve the issue by making a bet with Cyrille. While he can't show him the confidential information, he agrees to calculate the points based on whatever method that Cyrille believes to be reasonable and fair, and honor that new number of Karma points. Cyrille agrees immediately, excited. He spews a bunch of variables that he will use, which go over the managers head.

His new Karma points, based on his own variables and equations, comes out to... 3999 POINTS? The manager yells that he has to go to the underworld based on those calculations, while Nyang yells at the manager to change Cyrille's points. Cyrille takes the opportunity to run away, while Nyang reminds him that he promised to accept the results no matter what. Cyrille continues running, screaming that there's no way he'll ever accept the points that will send him to the underworld!

Monologuing about how good he had been his whole life, Cyrille mentions how he had never hit, cursed, been jealous of, nor hated anyone. He admits that he upset a teacher during class but it was not his fault that god blessed him with being a genius! His teacher should have allowed him to go straight to college and not insist that he waste his developmental period with peers. But the point is that he is not a bad person! The manager breaks into his thoughts by saying that he seems different, almost like he is confessing his sins in front of the card scanner. Cyrille claims that he needs silence during this serious moment right now because he cannot believe the value of his whole life is so low. He continues to blame the reliability level of the samples, data, and variables.

While the manager tries to reason with him, he continues to insist that he could not possibly have made a mistake, it was definitely the lack of samples! Cyrille goes on a spiel about how he didn't believe in any Afterlife, Celestial realm, nor the Underworld, but it's undeniable that he is a Soul Reaper despite being a man of science and reason. He thinks he has been modest and humble, but the manager thinks there is no way anything he said is either of those. Cyrille determines that there is no one around, tells the manager to not look even though they already know the number, and then proceeds to check his points once more. 7777 POINTS? Wow, no way! Cyrille is ecstatic and claims that he is undoubtedly a genius! The manager ruminates on the fact that it might not be a low score, it is still lower than the highest score of 9999. They decide it is better not to ruin his happiness...

Childish laughter can be heard coming from the auditorium. It is Cyrille, still celebrating his jackpot win of a perfect number. He believes he lived an awesome life and clearly he has the highest number of all the Soul Reapers. But there is something even more important! The Exchange Time! Surely all of the other Reapers will be chasing after his card! The manager is in disbelief over his spike of confidence, when Cyrille suddenly shoves them while ordering them to hide! The two overhear Licht come in, talking about the items on auction and wanting to swap cards. He laments that if only he had lived kindly....

Cyrille is on alert now because clearly Licht is after his card, and everyone is now his enemy. There is no way he will let anyone take his card away! The manager, concerned, asks Cyrille if he is okay, but is ignored as he begins talking about the auction items. He did not get a good view of them, but the rumor says there are quite a few useful items. Something on the table calls to Cyrille, almost as if it were whispering that he should buy it... He starts to ask for an explanation, but is interrupted by Ell who is beginning the auction. Ell introduces a single use monster-catching gun called the "Furious Gun," which Cyrille finds to be perfect for him. Who else but he could be better suited? Cyrille begins bidding but is challenged by Noah and Mori, who both bid on his desired antique. They're even joined by other faceless Soul Reapers among the crowd... But Cyrille will '*never* let anyone take this gun from him!

4/4
The auction has heated up and is too rich for the blood of the faceless Soul Reapers. Now that all of them have dropped out, Cyrille's only opponents are Noah and Mori. After making some calculations, he determines that Noah is negligent and Mori is a con-artist, traitor, and even more terrible things that there aren't words for, and guesses that there is no way those two have more points than him. The bidding continues until Mori gives a signature smirk and bows out. Now, Cyrille just has to outbid Noah. Ell tells Mori that he can always jump back in at any time when he's cut off by Noah bidding 6500 points! Cyrille's plan to force him to give up has gone up in smoke, but he still has enough points to bid two more times. Suddenly, after Cyrille's next bid, Noah asks him if he really wants the gun. Too honest for his own good, Cyrille asks why would he bid on it if he didn't want it?! He realizes his mistake in showing his hand and frets even more over how many points Noah has versus his own. Cyrille begins internally making calculations and losing it when Noah says, "Fine," and relents, claiming that Cyrille should consider it a gift. Cyrille is stunned, and Noah reiterates that he will not bid.

After a tense final call for bids, Cyrille wins the antique for 7000 points! Ecstatic, he hands over his card to Ell to complete his payment and become the happy owner of the "Furious Gun." The next item up for auction is a long-range rifle, "Bloody Ruler", which has better quality than the pistol that Cyrille just won. Cyrille realizes his mistake and claims he did not know that gun was even for sale. Having given everyone equal time and opportunity, Ell is confused by Cyrille's claim. Cyrille spent so much time avoiding the other Reapers that he had no chance to see most of the antiques. No matter, he will simply place a bid. But, Ell asks him if he has enough points for just the starting bid and then informs him that all purchases are final. Ell wishes him well, telling him that he hopes he spends the remaining 777 points efficiently while Cyrille despairs, saying he should have spent his points more wisely.
