Yoshida Tomoya's death swiftly spread throughout the entire Trial Site through the Reishi Image.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi showed no panic whatsoever. Even though Yoshida Tomoya had died under his "manipulation," he felt neither guilt nor unease. Right before everyone's eyes, he cut open Yoshida Tomoya's abdomen, then examined the slightly blackened intestines within and said to the crowd:
"Hmm. Before this fellow completely lost his Reishi activity, he had already swallowed poison. It was likely a potent toxin hidden in his back molar. Once you're done with the body, send it back to me for testing. We should be able to detect quite a few things."
Having said that, Mayuri Kurotsuchi ignored everyone's stares and cut away some of the flesh around the Bakuyō Sword lodged in Yoshida Tomoya's chest. He then said to the Captain-Commander beside him:
