As soon as Nero jumped in the water, Sophia heard someone climb on the ship from the opposite side of the deck. She looked back to see Nero standing there with ten medium-sized fish.
"That was fast," Sophia commented.
"Heh!" Nero smirked and said with a smug look on his face, "There is no one who can beat me when it comes to hunting underwater."
"And there is no one who can't beat you when it comes to hunting on the ground," Sophia remarked.
Nero threw the fish on the side of the ship and asked, "Is that enough? Or do you need more?"
Sophia squinted her eyes and asserted, "You alone can eat 30 fishes at once."
"Well…" Nero averted his gaze and said, "I am not hungry right now. So It's just you, Emilia, and Asteria."
After a brief silence, Sophia asked, "Is it because of the core you reclaimed?"
Nero quietly nodded and said, "I got a huge power boost, and now it's hungry for more power, not food."
