Two days had passed..

Hinko was still running tests on Kichu. He was so focused that he hadn’t slept or bathed. Even when Kichu was asleep, Hinko continued his experiments.

"Honey, you need to bathe and get some rest," Asha told him several times.

"Ah... I can't understand! How can this kid have such low soul energy yet still show signs of a Sin holder?" Hinko muttered, scratching his head.

"I have a Sin? What the heck?" Kichu said in shock.

At that moment, Roco walked out of his room, his clothes damaged.

"Kid, you should worry about your health," Asha said, handing him a plate of food.

Roco devoured it within seconds and burped.

"Hey, so how’s it going?" Kichu asked, approaching Roco.

"Do you want to see?" Roco smirked.

"Yeah, bring it on," Kichu said, determined.

Roco pointed his finger at Kichu. A small ball of water formed in his hand and slowly floated toward Kichu.

"What is this?" Kichu asked.

"Touch it," Roco said with a smile.

Kichu, confused, reached out and touched the ball. The moment his finger made contact, the water sphere vanished.

"What? How? I've done this more than a hundred times!" Roco exclaimed, shocked. He tried again, but each time the ball touched Kichu, it disappeared.

Roco's face filled with frustration. He went back to his room and brought out a mannequin. Pointing his fingers at it, he formed another water sphere. This time, when it touched the mannequin, the ball expanded into a barrier, completely encasing it. Kichu watched in amazement.

As time passed, the pressure inside the sphere increased, crushing the mannequin.

"It’s working, so why won’t it work on you?" Roco asked, frustrated.

"Oi! That’s dangerous! Are you trying to kill me?!" Kichu snapped.

"What’s all the fuss about?" Hinko walked in.

"Roco invented an insane technique, but it’s not working on me! That means I have a high amount of soul energy. Your tests are crap," Kichu said to Hinko.

"Impossible! My tests are accurate. Roco, do it on me," Hinko said.

"Are you mad? It’ll kill you," Kichu warned.

"No, this is a matter of pride now. Do it, Roco," Hinko said, tearing off his shirt.

"Don’t worry, I can break it from the outside," Roco reassured them before trying again. But just like before, the water sphere disappeared when it touched Hinko.

"I guess it doesn't work on living things," Hinko concluded.

Roco’s face darkened in frustration, and he stormed back into the room.

"That boy is motivated," Hinko said.

"Yeah, unlike me, he has a mission," Kichu muttered, watching him leave.

"Can I take a break from the tests?" Kichu asked.

"Yeah... Why?" Hinko asked.

"I think he could use some company," Kichu said, drawing his sword.

"Return it in three hours," Hinko said.

"Yeah..." Kichu replied before walking into the room.

"What are you doing here?" Roco asked, looking up.
