After several days on the first floor, Kiran and Falco can be seen laughing and chasing each other. Under a large tree surrounded by some flowers, the rest of the team sits in its shade.
Amanda, astonished, says, "I can't believe this sweet child is the same one who turned the troll into meat cubes."
Vini adds, "Yes, it's hard to believe," and then says gently, "I hope he always stays this way; he reminds me of my children."
Kentaro, surprised, asks, "Children?"
Vini, looking at Kentaro, responds, "My children are your age, so please stop trying with me. We elves do not age quickly. I may look this way, but I'm 115 years old."
Kentaro: "----"
Dory places a comforting hand on Kentaro's shoulder.
Dory, inquisitively, asks, "Amanda, did little Kiran tell you his level?"
Amanda shakes her head side to side, "No, but he told Falco."
Kentaro: "That's good. So why don't we ask him?"
Amanda: "I tried, but he refused to tell me." She pauses, looking at Kiran, "But whenever I look at him, I feel a strong suppression, as if my instincts are severely warning me not to mess with him."
Kentaro: "Really! But he is so kind, I can't even feel his Qi."
Amanda: "That's because there are two possibilities. The first is that he doesn't use Qi, which is unlikely because we saw him use it."
Kentaro: "And the second?"
Amanda: "That his Qi core is so massive we can't sense it."
Dory: "Do you think his eyes are related to his crazy luck?"
Vini: "It's highly possible."
Kentaro, lamenting his luck, says, "I wish I had a quarter of his luck. With every monster he kills, he gets jewels." He then stands and walks over to the children.
Amanda: "What are you going to do?"
Kentaro: "I'll ask him directly."
The children stop playing when they see Kentaro approaching.
Falco: "What's up, Kentaro?"
Kentaro gently taps Falco's head, "I told you to call me Ni-san."
Kiran: "Ni-san?"
Kentaro: "Yes, it means older brother in my original language."
Kiran, mumbling, says, "Older brother," then smiles with stars shining in his eyes, "Ni-san."
Kentaro smiles and picks Kiran up, "Yes, Otouto," and starts spinning Kiran around, making Kiran laugh.
After playing for a while.
Falco, puffing his cheeks, says, "Hey, that's not fair! Carry me too."
Kentaro does the same with Falco.
After finishing playing.
Kentaro looks at Kiran, "Kiran-chan."
Kiran: "What?"
Kentaro: "What is your level?"
Kiran: "45."
Kentaro, loudly: "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!"
Everyone starts to gather around them.
Dory: "What's the matter?"
Kentaro, pointing at Kiran, says, "His level is 45."
Everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
Vini: "That explains why we can't include him in our team."
Kentaro: "What's your ranking on the global leaderboard? I've never seen your name there."
Kiran: "What's that?"
Everyone smiles.
Kentaro: "Of course, you don't know."
Amanda bends to Kiran's eye level and says, "Dear Kiran, say 'Global Ranking'."
Kiran repeats after her, "Global Ranking."
A page appears before Kiran's eyes.
Amanda: "At the end of the page, you'll find your name and rank."
Kiran: "I found it."
Kentaro, impatiently: "So, what does it say?"
Kiran reads: "Son of Space, Rank 1."
Everyone looks at him in shock.
Kentaro: "Wait, you are the Son of Space?"
Kiran: "That's the title I was given as soon as I saw the system," then he grabs Falco's hand, "Come on, Falco, let's chase some goblins."
Falco laughs mischievously, "Let's go."
After they leave.
Dory: "This is..."
Vini: "Surprising."
Kentaro: "This is really surprising," then looks at Kiran as he leaves and continues, "The number one on the global leaderboard is an eight-year-old child."
Amanda: "His cultivation value must be insanely high."
