Editing Sorcery Hacker:Volume2 Phase00 (section)

===Option 01: From Henrietta’s Journal===

(*I know it is old-fashioned, but I will be gathering my information in a lockable journal since an analog format should be the best way of defending against a Sorcery Hacking specialist. It also reminds me of my late father who adored pocket watches and bottle ships.)

I do not know much about Sorcery Hacking, but based on what I have seen while traveling with Ayato Criminaltrophy, the items he uses are not all that unusual. To my chagrin, it seems they do sell fancier tools at sketchy shops on the surface.

His sword is known as a Linkage Plug and he uses that to hack into mist mana lines and the gemboards of sorcery devices.

His crystal tarot cards are known as a Linkage Monitor. They use the arcana to visualize the manaflow, allowing him to view stolen information and manipulate devices.

However, the shape and format used for these things varies from hacker to hacker. Some Plugs are launched using a slingshot and some Monitors are round horoscopes. A sword and tarot cards is the most popular combination, much like the umbrellas cheaply sold at the front of general stores.

My Striker instincts tell me this is the caution of a criminal. A crime committed with an ordinary kitchen knife found in any home makes it hard to trace the culprit using the weapon. And if the criminal’s tool is unexpectedly damaged or lost, they can easily acquire a new one. I imagine he also has his own unique logic behind the choice, but this means that dangerous individual has intentionally chosen to use an entry level product anyone can easily acquire.

He stabs the blade into a sorcery device and releases it from the grip so it can act as an antenna (according to him). More blades are supplied from within the grip, but that requires leaving the blades behind at the scene. That means he cannot use anything that could be traceable back to him.

The negative possibilities presented by Sorcery Hackers are incalculable.

They might begin by hacking a Level 1 alarm clock, but they will not stop there. That dangerous individual will go on to increase the upper level of sorcery device he can hack. By building up his level using the simple growth of “1+1=2”, “2+2=4”, etc., he could ultimately take control of a warship or fortress cannon.

As a Striker it is my duty to preserve the peace, so I must keep an eye on him.

The truly baffling part is how his blatant violations of the law have a strange way of bringing smiles to people’s faces, protecting people’s lives, and earning him the thanks of the villagers.
