Chapter 93: Author And Protagonist
After Kai, Matt, and Reozaki conversed with Gimli for a while, and with Kai successfully convincing him to perform the vow, the three managed to get Gimli to examine their weapons and agree to craft combat suits for them.
Since Kai wanted his team to attain as much strength as possible, he also instructed Gimli to create three additional suits for the girls, and naturally, one for Neko-sensei.
Kai exhaled loudly as he leaned against the wall beside his bed, visibly irritated.
He had expected everything to proceed exactly as planned. However, there were several unexpected setbacks.
After concluding the contract negotiations and initiating the construction of their combat suits, Kai had gone on to address his primary reason for seeking out Gimli:
The matter of the Star of Ruin.
But the problem was, even Gimli knew little to nothing about it. The only insights he could offer were:
First, the vestige was distinctly alive and appeared to be one of many fragments somehow connected to Kai.
Second, the vestige was currently in a sealed state. This meant that no matter how much Kai attempted to utilize it, he would either suffer a penalty or be unable to fully access its potential.
Kai was disheartened by the revelation. But seeing that both Matt and Reozaki had managed to gain something from the encounter, he felt at least content that the trip wasn’t in vain. And it wasn’t as though he walked away empty-handed.
Kai looked up briefly, then rose and exited the room that only he and Reozaki had occupied.
