It has been a couple of days since I started training the Flicker Step Technique, I have mastered the first step and moved on to the second step which is practicing the attack timing.

Kuroka got bored with sitting in the hotel room all day, so she came with to watch me train, since she was curious what I was doing every day.

Immediately after demonstrating, she begged me to teach her, so I told her the first step to start training.

And never have I laughed so hard in my life, she kept trying the technique over and over again, but every time she tried she would fly straight into the tree, unable to stop herself.

After going back to the hotel after training, she sulked in the corner of the room for the rest of the day, only leaving to eat some takeout I bought.

The next day I went to train, she came a long again but this time, she succeeded at stopping in time once, out of her other eighty-something tries…

"Archie-kun, did you see that, Nya!"

"If you do it two times in a row, I'll let you order anything you want for dinner."

Kuroka looked so determined at that moment, it made it so much funnier when she slammed into the tree ten seconds later.

My training came to a complete halt as I was laughing so hard I could breathe, while Kuroka stared daggers at me.

But my laughter was interrupted when a system panel suddenly appeared in front of me

~~~

Mission: Obtain SCP-963

Rank: C-

Description: SCP-963 has spawned in an Abandoned Church in Kuoh Town, in a few days a massacre will take place inside, if you don't obtain SCP-983 by then it will be bound to an unknown person!

Rewards: SCP-963, ???

Time Limit: 3 Days, 8 Hours, 21 Minutes, 43 Seconds

~~~

It seems the first SCP that spawns just happens to appear in a demon town, nonetheless I have to get it before the massacre or the SCP will be completely useless.

There are two peerages located in that town, so I'll have to act carefully, and Kuroka's sister should also be in one of the two, which I'm not sure about Kuroka's opinion on meeting again is.

Kuroka was confused as suddenly became very serious, and I was staring into space.

"Is everything okay, Nya?" Kuroka said slightly worried about me.

"We have the first capture mission in Kuoh Town, the anomaly in question is a powerful artifact which we can't let fall in the wrong hands." I explained to Kuroka.

Kuroka seemed to be interested when I said it was powerful, and not reacting to Kuoh Town, so she probably didn't know her sister was there, and I would rather avoid interacting with any peerage.

"How powerful is it Nya?"

"As long as you bind yourself to the anomaly, anyone who touches it will get possessed by you, but to bind it to yourself, you have to die while holding it, allowing you to resurrect yourself in anybody who touches it after death." I explained to Kuroka.

[SCP-963 Explanation]

Kuroka isn't the type of person to go after something powerful like that, she was more concerned about repopulating her species, so I trusted her with important information, it's more of a sign of trust, as my only member…

Kuroka nodded, seeming to understand what I said, after thinking for a bit.

"We should leave as soon as possible, since we have a time limit of three days, and we aren't sure what problems we will run into."

Traveling is quite easy in Japan, as many major railways connect the entire continent, so it will take a day at most to get there, and since It's quite early in the morning I bet we can get there by midnight.

We returned to the hotel, and took the few items we had and checked out, before leaving to catch a train that was going towards Kuoh Town.

Entering the train station, it was so incredibly busy, not only were we in a large city in the middle of Japan, lots of people commute every day, and I've never been to a place like this before.

We got lost really fast, but I held Kuroka's hand the entire time to make sure we didn't get separated, or we would definitely not catch our train.

We wandered around in circles trying to find the correct place for ages, before Kuroka lucky pointed at the right way, and we found our train, with three minutes left before departure.

~~~

Neither of us had anything to do while we rode the train to Kuoh, so we just talked for a while, but it was just mostly me giving her tips on the Flicker Step Technique, and Kuroka trying to tease me.

Eventually, Kuroka said she was tired, and told me to wake her up when we got there, which is fine since I was planning to mess around with the system anyway

'Status'

~~~

Name: Archimedes S. Sinatra

Status: Healthy

Capture Credits: 1000

[Stats]

STR*21 (C+) DEX*24 (C+) CON*19 (C)

INT *20 (C) WIS *22 (C+) CHA *20 (C+)

Tier: High

Grade: Mid-Class

Mana Grade: High-Class

~~~

It seems my stats increased a lot due to my Flicker Step Technique training, my mana went from Mid-Class to High-Class, all my stats went out of Low-Class and into Mid-Class.

My current rank is High Mid-Class, but I would say I'm more Low High-Class, as it only takes account of my raw stats, and not my abilities or techniques.

Chain of Thorns, plus Flicker Step Technique, will let me out class everyone in Kuoh Town, I still don't think I'm a match for Kuroka, as she is a Senjutsu Master, and her stats are probably higher than mine.

But I was snapped out of my thoughts as I felt the train start to slow down, and an overhead announcement was played to the passengers.

"Kuroka, we have arrived, get up."
