Kai was after a Milestone.

He hadn't known about it from the start. Only the recent circumstances had made him come to face it. Selene had been hunting young Pokemon for days now. Unlike the search for the criminal, no one was searching for her.

A wild creature hunting another was as common in this world as any.

Yet, he had failed to perceive any obvious changes about her. There was a time when Kai had thought that if he were to feed her enough magical flesh, it would evolve her from E+ to D-. She must have eaten some ten Pokemon since then, including the ones that Kai had given her, but she remained the same.

So Kai had done what he should have done ages ago.

Chaos, what are the ways to evolve a growth-type magical beast's grade? He had asked.

There were two ways, according to the System.

First was the same as Kai had thought. Let the magical creature feed on other magical creatures. In this way, the growth would come slowly, but surely. There were no specific numbers as it depended on the size of the hunter and its prey and other crucial factors.

It was the second way that had made the blood rush to Kai's brain.

Achieve certain World-exclusive Milestones. This was not only a quick but also a clear-cut way to upgrade a magical beast. It had very specific and atypical requirements. Though, like most things, it demanded some effort on his part.

An effort like coaxing a Pokemon Trainer to agree to a Pokemon Battle at his Will.

Milestone: Win a Pokemon Battle using a Magical Beast for the first time. The Pokemon Trainer must battle voluntarily, without coercion

Conditions to achieve Milestone:

1. The Magical Beast must not injure the Pokemon over 90% of its HP
2. The Contestant must not attack Pokemon Trainer directly or indirectly
3. The Pokemon Trainer must accept the defeat
4. Magical Beast's grade must be less than D

Milestone Rewards:

1. +1 to all Magical Beast's Attributes
2. For Growth-type, evolve the Magical Beast to its Grade-group's limit

Note: A Grade-group consists of three levels. For e.g. E- to E+, with E+ as the group's limit

WARNING: If the Magical Beast is already at its group's limit, then raise the probability of Group upgradation by 50%

Kai's Ghost Serpent was already an E+ graded Magical Beast.

Even if he achieved the Milestone, Selene wouldn't evolve to D-, he knew. Still, the Milestone also rewarded one point to each of her Attributes which was more than welcomed. It would also raise her chances to evolve to D- by 50%.

Without this second reward, Kai didn't know how long she would have taken to evolve to the second Group.

It seems, Kai had reflected, analyzing the System's notification, this Group upgradation is a much bigger deal than I have given it credit for. Is it the same for the Contestants? Does becoming a 4th-floor Contestant or 7th-floor Contestant bring some qualitative changes to the Stats?

Kai had remembered Heavy Block first.

Then he had remembered Arlen's reason to not ascend to the 2nd Set.
