Witch of Batomata (Part 9)

Ten days later.

Standing outside his temporary residence, Imada watched as the usually chaotic village turned strangely quiet. Today was the day the beast tide was supposed to attack the village. Prior to these days, he along with the others followed the regime given to them by the magician. He understood what the magician meant by the answer 'yes or no'. 

Following the regime, he didn't get stronger if POW was taken into consideration but if he was told to fight himself from Ten days ago, he could defeat him with 70% certainty.
