For the first time in years, Kai’s routine changed. His morning exercises were still the same, but he was going to leave on errands instead of searching for a challenge.
“I hope I have enough to cover all of this and still have some leftover to send to the old geezer”
Although he doesn’t have a source of steady income, every so often Kai enters a minor tournament and manages to reach the finals. The prize tends to not be too much, but it’s more than enough for someone that doesn’t need to pay for bills or food. Most of it he either spends on more training materials, or sends back to his grandfather in city C. Yu Fu was the one that told him to follow his dream and that he could take care of himself just fine, but Kai felt that this way he could pay back the man that raised him. Sappy backstory aside, it meant that he didn’t have much saved, and this was a big shopping list.
Sudden aggressively chirping broke Kai out of his mental battle with budgeting, as he saw a monster that was clearly of fusion of three different animals. He had a lot do today, and no one seemed to be at risk, but…
>Perk: On The Hunt
“It wouldn’t hurt to have a little fun before I start working, would it?”
As always, he rushed head first into danger, already thinking on a strategy to beat the Toucan Sloth Kangaroo. Start by putting it into a grapple and break both of its arms. That should get rid of the claws as a potential danger, so he would only need to pay attention to the beak, which he could easily solve by moving to the its back, as the tail did not look dangerous enough to hurt him with swings. Then it was just a matter of pummeling the thing into submission.
>Monster’s roll: 92
>Kai’s physical roll: 60
>Kai’s resilience: 94
Putting it into practice, Kai moved closer, dodging the pecks and swings to get closer until he could grab the monster’s shoulders. The problems started when he noticed that the fur on the creature’s upper body was covered in a thin layer of mold, making it harder for him to maintain a good grip. That extra time and effort opened an opportunity for the Tousloroo to a digging it’s claw into Kai’s back. However he soldiered through the pain, focusing entirely on dislocating the arms.
