It has been one week since I’ve come to work under the Puzzle Master and right now we are on the final stages of his trap “The Box of Judgment”. When a new recruit asked the Puzzle Master why the answer is in the name of the trap, he was chosen to partake in an “experiment” and “accidentally” died. Right now everyone is frantically working while being as quiet as possible when the Puzzle Master barged into the shop.

“This trap is too simple, make it so that I am shown asking the question. Add a touch screen to answer the question and shorten the timer to 10 seconds!” Screamed the Puzzle Master.

“Understood” responded #3.

This is the third time this week that he has charged in and demanded a change in the trap. The first was the change in the question and answer to the trap, the second was the color scheme, and now this. We boarded a train and left overworked station three stops ago. It’s to the point that several people are falling asleep while standing and we narrowly avoided a crisis twice so far. Everything would be done already if he hadn’t kept making changes and it is easy to see the resentment in everyone’s eyes.

Shortly after we completed the trap when the door swings open and the Puzzle Master comes in.

“About time you lazy idiots. We are going to perform a heist at the Egyptian museum of Little City tonight at 11. So get your bum asses moving.”

After he left we all performed the orz pose because it was a little after 10.

“Everyone take a five minute break, then get to the gathering area” stated by #3.

“But we haven’t finished the checks on all the system and we rushed the install of the pad” commented # 72.

“The trap design sucks and it is going to be seen very easily so it probably won’t even be triggered. If anything happens it’s Puzzle Masters fault so don’t think about it” said #3.

I then asked “ But what about the potential fight with the hero, I’ve been here for a week and have not done any group training since I got here.”

“#63 you are new here so it’s expected you don’t know how we fight. It’s pretty simple, use your judgment and fight like how you were taught in boot camp to try and survive.” #3 responded matter of factly.

At that I face palmed and truly regretted working under the Puzzle Master.
