Although Klein was not quite used to the way a black cat ate, he still had Mr. World.
Mr. World split his attention in two. One hand used chopsticks to feed himself, while the other kept selecting food with a spoon and bringing it to the black cat's mouth.
"Chew, chew, chew... So... chew, chew, chew... what other method... chew, swallow... could replace the Miracle Invoker advancement ritual?"
Since Klein's normal pronunciation now came out entirely as meows, Mr. World had to speak for him as well.
"Oh?"
Noah's chopsticks paused as he looked at Klein Cat in surprise.
"Working that desperately?"
For Klein to ask this, he was clearly trying to hurry into the next stage of advancement... Although Klein would not lose control during the advancement process under Noah's protection, the experience itself would definitely not be pleasant.
The reason Klein needed Noah's help was, ultimately, because his own accumulation was insufficient, and he did not want to spend time preparing those normal, relatively gentler external aids.
When advancing, those with enough accumulation could complete the advancement themselves with relative ease. Those who completed the ritual perfectly could make up the difference with the ritual's assistance and advance safely despite a few scares.
As for those who had neither under normal circumstances, they would fail outright and die quite cleanly.
Klein's situation, however, meant that he could not succeed on his own, yet Adam's assistance would keep him from dying. He could only endure the entire process in that awkward middle ground. Though it counted as success, it was also the most agonizing experience possible.
It was roughly equivalent to...
Some people were born with absurd stats and could climb a mountain on their own. Others had ordinary bodies and needed all sorts of equipment to assist them.
