The administrator looked at him for three seconds.
The points of light fixed. The :D unchanged.
Serah and Lira had stopped fighting too.
The chamber was silent.
"The message," the administrator finally said, "is not for you."
"I know."
"It's for the Streamer A_D_M sent to this world."
"I know."
"And you're not that Streamer."
"I know."
A pause.
"Then why—"
"Because someone brought me here without authorization," Kai said. "And the message you prepared for the authorized Streamer can tell me something about who it was."
The administrator processed this.
The points of light shifted.
"That," the administrator said, "is smarter than it should be for someone who only knows how to use their fists."
"I have my fist wrapped in Qi centimeters from your chest. Do you want to see a Qi explosion?"
"Qi doesn't do that."
"Mine does."
