Chapter 87: The Unknown Ghost Serpent and Morning Mist’s Mystery
Late afternoon, June 9
The Seagull
The ferry’s fare was cheap.
Kai sat in his chair in a room, looking out at the sea through the small round glass window.
In front of him lay pages after pages of information on the Pokemon and Harry Potter World. Combined with the things he had got to know from the Thunder Faction, he now had a pretty good idea about these two worlds.
The Soul Points he had gotten from three 3rd-floor Contestants were so low that Kai dared not even think about them lest it would bring out his rage. All they had given him were 600 Mission Credits, and the return of the Title - Murderer.
By the morning, Kai had boarded Seagull, along with a depressed Meg, who did not know what had happened last night. Still, she was a shrewd woman, and Kai had an inkling that she had guessed some things after dealing with her abnormal state.
No wonder I got all the details so thoroughly, and so soon, Kai reflected. Suddenly he remembered the look of extreme fear on Morning Mist’s face while passing the notes. I can acutely sense fear... Why did she fake a fearful appearance?
This woman... troubled Kai.
As he looked at the high and low waves and a flock of Pokemon flying far into the horizon, Kai recalled the things that had happened after coming to the Pokemon World. His Snake Instinct’s Proficiency had risen to 95% because of all the continuous activation in the last week. Fear Absorption had reached 75%. But the least growth had occurred to Twin-Saber Style, reaching 80%.
It happened when I used White Serpent for the first time, Kai recalled. Reasonable, I guess. If swinging swords could increase Proficiencies, then everybody would have possessed them by now.
