Early in the morning, Kael stepped out of Bach's house, followed closely by Milan with her daughter in her arms.
"You're going to Level Up?" Milan asked.
"Yes," Kael nodded as he reached out and gently touched the head of Milan's daughter.
"It's going to be painful," Milan said. "My mother said it felt like she was in hell every time she Levelled Up."
"You feel fear when you're weak, but if you're strong, it becomes a pleasure you need to conquer," Kael smiled as the little girl grabbed his finger.
"Are you saying my mother is weak?" Milan pouted.
"No," Kael chuckled. "She's an admirable person. Maybe if she were here, I would also—"
"Also what?" Bach's voice came from the street. When they turned toward the sound, they saw him pulling up in his vehicle.
"Nothing," Milan quickly said, glaring at Kael.
"Oh, is that so?" Bach stared suspiciously at the two after stepping out of the car.
"It's nothing," Kael added. "Are you letting me borrow your car?"
