Chapter 33: Disbelief
Griffin nodded in acknowledgement and secretly smiled. However, Qwanisha caught it and didn't tease him for it. She felt satisfied by the current interaction. Who would have thought talking about something not a bit so personal but in relation to what all of them understood about life would actually bring them together?
Qwanisha wanted this moment to last, but since the conversation has been silent for a while now, secretly glancing at others and assuming they were also understanding their desire, she decided to take the chance to bring up the main topic.
She said, "Alright. That was a meaningful conversation. However, let's focus on our future plans. Since we were given six months, we will invest it all on our training, especially to Kaiju..." Qwanisha meaningfully swept her gaze at Snow and Little Gorilla and continued, "And to his pets."
"Yes, dear. Have you decided the sequence of his training?" Max smiled.
Qwanisha's heart softened by Max's call sign and nodded.
"I might have, if Kaiju gives us information about him and his pets."
Kaiju grasped what she meant and after meeting her gaze, he nodded.
"I'm a close-combat fighter with a Basic Mastery in Dagger. I only have one skill I use when fighting, which is Swift Dash, another common skill. I can use it three times with a cool down of five minutes. I have a skill, Shadow Step, but it's effectiveness lowers drastically if the enemy discern my presence. I have an Emotionless Skill, aiding me a lot when it comes to handling stressful circumstances, increasing my concentration."
Kaiju observed their reaction throughout the time he was revealing his skills and was not dismayed to perceive their disappointed expression. After all, they should have already possessed a lot of skills since the Tower would already record and exaggerate the skills they practiced a lot since they were born. Compared to him, the Tower only recorded Pain Tolerance skill the moment he entered the trial.
"That's it?" Lucy asked, confused. However, she suddenly realized her reaction seemed to be too sensitive as it might hurt Kaiju's feelings, so she quickly apologized. "I-I'm sorry."
Kaiju shook his head and replied, "It's fine."
