Kai exhaled slowly.
He could feel it clearly—
his strength had risen again.
Not a massive leap—
but steady growth.
And that was enough.
"System, status."
[Host: Kai]
Strength: 151.2 Speed: 143.5 Stamina: 143.6 Spirit: 67.3 Oni Back Completion: 19.31% Training Multiplier: 100×
His gains included not only today's battle—
but also his previous fight with Edward Weevil.
Kai understood one thing clearly now—
The stronger he became…
the harder it was to improve.
Even with a system.
Even with a 100× multiplier.
"If it's this hard for me…"
"How much harder is it for everyone else?"
Soon—
the training camp officially disbanded.
All trainees graduated.
Names like Smoker and Tashigi stood out among the elites.
But above all—
there was Kai.
The undisputed number one.
The strongest graduate in history.
As everyone said their farewells—
Kai had already left.
Silently.
The others watched his back with awe.
They knew—
they were not on the same path.
They were Marines.
He…
was something else entirely.
"Even just seeing his back…"
"…is enough."
Meanwhile—
news spread like wildfire.
Within half an hour—
the entire Marine Headquarters knew.
"Did you hear? The training camp ended!"
"They say there's a monster this year—only five years old!"
"Kai… right?"
Then came the real shock.
"He fought Admiral Zephyr."
"…and held him off."
The entire headquarters exploded.
"What?!"
"A five-year-old fighting an Admiral?!"
"That's impossible!"
Then confirmation arrived—
Zephyr had gone all out.
And still—
couldn't defeat Kai quickly.
Silence.
Shock.
Disbelief.
"That means…"
"He's at least Vice Admiral level."
Crowds rushed to the training ground.
And what they saw—
left them speechless.
A battlefield.
Ruined.
Destroyed.
Unrecognizable.
Cold fear crept up their spines.
"This… was done by a five-year-old?"
That day—
the name Kai
shook the entire Marine Headquarters.
