Travel through Kivotos and become Kamen Rider Saber

It was almost time to leave school when the last person waiting near the door to be introduced to the club walked up to the podium.

"Snapped!"

The noisy sound in the classroom suddenly stopped with the sound of clapping hands. Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and saw a girl wearing the Millennium Institute of Technology uniform standing on the podium.

"Huh huh huh~"

The girl didn't care about the gazes. Her face was as warm as a sunflower. She leaned her hands on the desk, slowly shook her head left and right, and looked around at the students in the classroom. She showed an expression of "I see," pursed her lips, and nodded pretentiously.

"Hmm...it seems like it only took half a minute to quiet down. Not bad, really good!"

The girl who belonged to the same club and was waiting nearby suddenly stumbled. She raised her hand to touch her eyelids on the bridge of her nose, coughed lightly a few times to calm herself down, and quickly whispered a reminder to the girl on the podium in front of her:

"Busan! Stop playing! There are only ten minutes left until school is over. If you don't introduce our club now, there won't be enough time!"

A familiar voice sounded behind my ears, and the girl standing on the podium raised her clenched left fist and gave a thumbs up in front of everyone, indicating that everything would be left to her!

Such feedback made her feel uneasy. It was precisely because she was her junior that she was worried about her behavior. Even her words of assurance seemed unreliable.

"Cough cough... cough, cough cough..."

The girl standing on the podium cleared her throat and took out a neatly folded speech she had prepared in advance from her pocket. Her eyes swept across the black fonts arranged on the white paper, and a look of disgust and disdain was visible on her face.

"Uh... do I really have to recite something like this..."

She first looked at the letter of introduction in her hand, then raised her eyes to look at the girls sitting behind the desks staring at her. She grinned awkwardly and looked back at her juniors on her left, then raised her hand to stroke the short hair hanging from her ears.

After a brief thought, she puffed up her face slightly as if she had made a decision, spread the paper in front of her flat on the desk, quickly folded it in half to make it into a paper airplane, and threw it towards the trash can.

This situation made the girl waiting on the side stunned for a moment. She quickly took a few steps to pick up the paper plane that had arced in the air and fell to the ground, and scolded her:

"Bu-Bull! What are you doing?! If we can't recruit new students, our club will be forced to disband!"

"Okay, Sayaka, it's okay, don't get so excited."

"But, but! Minister..." Sayaka was about to explode when the girl on the podium comforted her and pushed her back to the side.

After the brief crosstalk between the two, everyone's attention in the classroom had already returned to the girl on the podium.

Forget about the time you have been paying attention to.

She cleared her throat with a few coughs and introduced herself in her cheerful and sunny voice.

"Hello everyone, I'm the president of the Philosophy Club, my name is Orikasa Fumiko."

"I'm sure everyone already knows why I'm here. That's right, it's to recruit new members!"

"Our club's third-year students are about to graduate. Next year, there will only be a few juniors left, which is not enough to meet the minimum number of members required for the club. So, before I leave, I plan to help my lovely juniors out!"

Words completely different from those spoken during the rehearsal came out of Orikasa Fumiko's mouth. Sayaka, who was waiting at the door, frowned slightly, but since the introduction had already begun, the rest could only be left to her unreliable senior.

"However, due to the fact that our club's philosophy is completely inconsistent with that of Millennium Institute of Technology, I don't actually hold out any hope, ahahaha..."

"Hey! Senior, you are the director of the Department of Ideology and Philosophy, right? Please hold on a little longer!" The students below the podium shouted, causing everyone in the classroom to laugh.

However, this situation was more in line with Orikasa Fumiko's usual way of talking. She laughed awkwardly, raising her hands and waving them downwards like a band conductor.

The noise in the classroom gradually died down. Although there were whispers and conversations, she didn't care. She clasped her hands and suggested:

"After all the activities and speeches today, everyone should be tired of this kind of club introduction format. So, how about we use our brains and think about the problem?"

As Orikasa Fumiko spoke, she rolled up the speech manuscript that Sayaka had just picked up into a paper ball and threw it back towards the trash can.

Just like before, the paper ball hit the edge of the trash can and rolled to the ground and stopped moving.

She picked up the stylus from the pencil case in the upper left corner and began sketching on the white electronic screen behind her. In less than a minute, she had drawn a tram, two tracks, and several two-headed little people.

"Listen to the question. Imagine you see a runaway trolley hurtling towards five people, and you have a small valve that can turn the trolley around."

"But if the trolley turns, it will hit five people on the other track. Will you choose to turn the trolley, or let it continue forward and kill five people?"

As the words echoed in the empty classroom, the pen tip rubbing against the screen stopped drawing, and Murokasa Fumiko turned around, revealing a faint smile that was completely different from the one just now.

"This is the trolley problem, a very representative thought experiment in the field of philosophy."

"Please reflect on the situation and discuss it based on your own experience. Afterwards, I, as a senior, will randomly ask questions. Children who perform well will receive a very nice little gift~"

When they heard that there would be exquisite small gifts, some students' eyes lit up instantly, and they frowned and thought deeply, occasionally discussing with the students around them.

Looking at the clock on the wall on her left, Orikasa Fumiko estimated the remaining time.

Sayako took the opportunity when the students were discussing and quickly ran to Orikasa Fumiko, raised her hand, held her arm, and pulled her to the corner of the classroom.

"Senior! Isn't it inappropriate to ask these children such questions? Their values ​​and worldviews haven't been fully formed yet. This could very well lead to psychological problems!"

"It's okay, Sayako, you're doting on them too much, aren't you?" Orikasa Fumiko laughed and raised her hand to gently pat Sayako's hand that was tightly holding her arm.

"Times are changing a little bit. These kids aren't as vulnerable as we were back then. Besides, some students are already thinking about this issue, you see."

"Huh?" Sayako followed Orikasa Fumiko's gaze.

Sure enough, some of the students who were originally absent-minded because they wanted to leave school immediately were attracted by the gifts or questions, and expressed their opinions to the students they just met.

"I'm right, Senior~ I'm still a little useful~"

As she spoke, Orikasa Fumiko put her hands on her hips and chuckled. She gently patted Sayako's shoulder and returned to the podium. She clapped her hands again to draw everyone's attention back.

"Okay, everyone, the discussion time is over."

"So, which kid will I call next?"

Orikasa Fumiko narrowed her eyes in a mysterious manner and walked back and forth between the neatly arranged desks like an old lady in a candy store.

Finally, she stopped at the first row on the left by the window, smiled amiably, squatted down, and looked at the expressionless Tiao Yue Liyin levelly, and asked in a friendly manner:

"Well, little friend, can you tell me your name?"

"Tyouzuki Rion." The plain words and brief answer instantly piqued Orikasa Fumiko's interest. She was like the sun emitting warmth, approaching the moon in front of her while emitting a sound like "Don't come near me, talk to me."

"So, little Tiaoyue, can you tell me what you would do if you were faced with this situation?"

"..." Tiaoyue Liyin's rosy red eyes trembled slightly, and she looked into Orikasa Fumiko's pale blue eyes. The two of them stood there like wooden men.

At this moment, it seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world, staring at each other in silence.

Diao Yue Liyin seemed to understand that if she didn't answer this question, the stalemate would probably continue. She put down the tablet in her hand and replied calmly:

"If we want the best solution, we should turn to the tram and sacrifice one life to save five others."

The students in the classroom were shocked when they heard Tiao Yue Liyin's robotic answer, and there was a hint of fear and alienation in their eyes when they looked at her.

"Is this...is it really okay to do this?"

"That person who was run over by the tram was so pitiful. Do we really have the right to decide who should live and who should die?"

Since there is negation, there is also approval.

A small number of students in the classroom agreed with Tiao Yue Liyin's answer. They nodded to themselves and then echoed:

"Tiao Yue Liyin is right. This is the only way to save more lives, isn't it?"

"As students of Millennium Institute of Technology, we should think about this problem more rationally. Choosing to turn the tram is the best answer!"

Orikasa Fumiko listened to their words and nodded, showing an expression that said, "So that's what happened." She stood up from in front of Rion Chozuki and walked over to the students who advocated sacrificing one person to save the majority.

"You also believe that sacrificing one life to save more is right. So, can you prove this with clear logic?"

"Huh? How can this be explained logically? Sacrificing one person to save more, any normal person would make that choice, right?"

"I see." Orikasa Fumiko chuckled and nodded, then returned to the podium and explained to the students below:

"This intuitive moral judgment is often influenced by a person's cultural background, religious beliefs, and personal experiences."

"For example, in some cultures, personal sacrifice for the greater good is considered the highest moral standard, while in other cultures, protecting every life is considered of paramount importance."

"If we divert the trolley, we are actively killing the innocent people on that track, and that action itself is morally unacceptable."

"We must not directly cause the death of another through our actions, regardless of the consequences, nor sacrifice one person to save five, even if the outcome appears more moral."

"Because it's the same as using something as a means to an end, rather than a means to an end."

Orikasa Fumiko walked from the podium with a faint smile on her face, came to Tiaoyue Liyin on the right, raised her hand and patted her head gently.

"I'm not saying this to deny your answer, because your answer is undoubtedly the best solution and the one you should prioritize when you're at a loss in the face of difficulties."

"I just want to tell you, at the same time, don't let your inner thoughts cloud your eyes, and try to discuss it with your companions or juniors around you."

"The reason humans have language and writing is not to understand each other, but to communicate with others."

"Even if the outcome cannot be changed, at least facing it with a group of people is more reassuring than facing it alone."

The girl's voice was not particularly loud, but it was like the warm breeze of early spring passing by everyone's ears, leaving a trace of warmth.

Sayako, leaning against the wall, repeatedly chewed over Orikasa Fumiko's words. A hint of astonishment and surprise appeared in her helpless eyes, and she couldn't help but mutter complaints in her heart.

The usually unreliable senior actually said such a profound truth. Did he borrow the book from the activity room?

"Hehehe, as long as I'm here, that kind of thing won't happen."

"Uh...Himari, you're here..."

The student sitting behind Tiao Yue Liyin heard the voice with numbers on the right, and moved towards the window beside him with some disdain, showing an expression as if he was involved in trouble.

This sudden situation attracted Orikasa Fumiko's attention. She looked to the left. Although it was early summer, the girl in front of her seemed like a snow girl walking out of the cold winter. Her lavender eyes were full of wisdom and intelligence, and her whole body exuded a leisurely and calm atmosphere.

However, the modern fully automatic wheelchair she was sitting in was out of tune with the atmosphere and looked very strange.

"Of course. Today is our first day as high school students. How could a genius girl like the sickly department of Millennium Institute of Technology be absent?"

"Without me, the opening ceremony and these club activities would be much duller, wouldn't they?"

"Um... well..." This answer made the student sitting behind Yue Linyin speechless. She laughed dryly, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window on her left, and ended the topic abruptly.

Orikasa Fumiko was fascinated by the white-haired girl in front of her. A blush appeared on her fair face. She leaned down in front of her and asked politely at her level eyes:

"This beautiful junior, can you tell me your name?"

Raising her hand and caressing her frost-like black hair, Ming Xing Riju nodded lightly and replied calmly:

"Hehe, my name is Star Hikari, nice to meet you, the director of the Philosophy Department."

"Take good care of me, little star boy. Could you explain to me what you just said?"

"Of course, no problem. I'm the all-knowing and all-powerful beautiful girl from Millennium Institute of Technology. Stopping a runaway train is a piece of cake for me. It's not even a trivial game."

"Is... is that so!?" Orikasa Fumiko blinked her wide eyes rapidly in surprise, looking at the student behind Tiaoyue Rion who had just spoken to Mingxing Hinari.

The student felt the gaze coming at him, turned his head tremblingly to look in the direction of the star Hinami on his right, and sighed helplessly.

"It's like this, Senior. Meixing Himari was already considered a genius when she was in the middle school department of the academy. She completed the Millennium Science and Technology Academy's high school curriculum in just the first year of junior high school and received full marks."

"If it weren't for attendance, she might never come to class. By the way, Tiaoyue Liyin is also hailed as a genius."

"Oh, it's actually like this!" Orikasa Fumiko nodded heavily in surprise. She no longer looked like a senior. She took out a pen and a notebook from the pocket of her uniform and handed them to Mingxing Hinami and Chozuki Rion with trembling hands.

"Well... well, this is my first time talking to a genius! Please give me an autograph!!!"

"Of course no problem." Mingxing Riju nodded calmly, while Tiaoyue Liyin looked at the white paper in front of her and really couldn't understand her intention of doing so.

In the end, in order to avoid being pestered by her, he had to write his own name. This humble action made the students around him confused for a while about who was the real senior.

"Then, Senior, what would you do if you encountered such a situation?"

The voice of inquiry was heard again in the classroom. Orikasa Fumiko silently accepted the autographs of Mingxing Hinari and Chozuki Rion and put them into the pocket of her uniform. Just like visiting a temple, she clasped her hands together, bowed to them and prayed silently in her heart.

After completing this series of actions, Orikasa Fumiko returned to the podium, coughed a few times to calm herself down, clasped her hands in front of her chest, clenched her right fist, and poked her puffy face with her index finger, thinking deeply.

"This is a very complicated question. It seems very troublesome."

"..." For a moment, the students sitting behind the desks in the classroom lowered their heads speechlessly, and silently raised their right fists, which made a "crunching, crunching" sound.

But Orikasa Fumiko was their senior, so they couldn't do anything to resist. They felt powerless, like hitting cotton balls, and angrily complained in their hearts:

"Wasn't that your question?! Why are you still bothering me?! I'm so angry... I feel like I'm complaining!"

Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Orikasa Fumiko put on a playful smirk, patted the desk in front of her lightly, put away her usual lazy and limp expression, and said calmly:

"Whatever happens, whenever it happens, if something happens at some point, we mortals just have to accept it."

"And then, think about the choices you will make until the very end without losing hope. Who will you protect? Don't worry about everyone. Care about one person until the very end."

"So, instead, I, that one person, will resolutely protect you until the very end. Too much."

"This is my answer. How about it? Very handsome, isn't it~" Orikasa Fumiko turned her head slightly, her eyes turned to look at Sayaka behind her on the left, and she kept stealing glances at her, showing an expression that said, "Am I very handsome?"
