Since he had woken up so early, Gary was in no hurry to get to school. In the worst case, he could always use Charging Heart to get there faster, but even at his lackadaisical pace he would arrive there with plenty of time to spare.
On his way, the high schooler checked out his stats. The first thing that he had noticed was the fact that just like his system had promised him he had gained 10 Exp for every Bond Mark he had placed on a person, for a total of 30 Exp.
When he had shaken Kai's hand, the system had asked him if he wanted to Mark his upperclassman. However, the 'promise' the two of them had made seemed a bit too weighty. The teenager would have much more preferred something that he wouldn't have to worry about, just like the one he had made with his mother.
Although Gary had felt that he had gotten closer to Kai, in actuality there was still too much mystery surrounding the older student. Nevertheless, Gary truly did consider him a friend, yet he wasn't too sure about Kai's end goal. Aside from that, on the off chance Kai might break the promise, it would turn him into one of his hunting targets…
As such, he had decided against it.
There were actually more reasons for it, such as the fact that Gary's Mark skill only had five slots and four of them had already been occupied. Making a bond with Kai would have left him with zero. While 10 'free' Exp each day might seem nice, the teenager had only recently enjoyed the benefits of hunting a target.
Whoever had done that to his mother, Gary was convinced to hunt them down!
Unfortunately, he was now missing exactly that one little boost of Exp.
“It was a...one of the shopkeepers.”
Gary looked down for a second.
“You guys are only worth Exp.” He muttered.
