Yamaki was silent for a moment.
ôYouÆre synchronizing.ö
ôIÆm what?ö Takato asked. He understood the word, but he wasnÆt sure what it meant in this context.
ôSynchronizing. A Digimon and their Tamer work best together when they are as one. As such, the closer in personality they are to each other, the stronger they are. And I donÆt just mean the obvious effect of facilitating teamwork.ö
ôYouÆre talking about evolution, arenÆt you?ö
ôYes. The degree of synchronization directly affects the DigimonÆs ability to evolve. But even thatÆs not all. By being synchronized with his Tamer, a DigimonÆs power dramatically increases. We donÆt know where exactly that power comes from; we presume itÆs the same place the power that allows them to evolve comes from.ö
Takato had a sudden realization.
ôThatÆs whyàö Takato hesitated, wondering if he should really say this. ôRuki and I were stronger then Jenrya wasnÆt it? HeÆs not as synchronized, is he?ö
Takato looked toward Jen as he said that, hoping he didnÆt come off as too insulting.
Yamaki was still for a moment, as though wondering whether to confirm or deny that comment. But then that moment passed, and he nodded once. JenryaÆs face was blank.
ôTerriermon is one of the most powerful Child level Digimon in Hypnos. However, Jenrya has aàhistory with TerriermonÆs evolved form. So while their synchronization is high while Terriermon stays the way he is, when he evolves, that ratio takes a sudden and sharp decline.ö
ôRatio? You can measure this?ö
ôOf course; figuring out how to measure things such as this was one of the first things Hypnos focused on.ö
ôThen I take it one of the reasons IÆm here is to getàmeasured?ö
ôIndeed.ö
ôAnd what do my numbers change?ö
ôYour rank, your power, and your mental stability are all affected by it, though not necessarily in the same ways.ö
Takato frowned. So these numbers were important. He was willing to bet these numbers would take the same place as money and social status did amongst normal teenagers.
Which meant that if his numbers were low, and people knew, his life would probably suck. On the other hand, if they were high, and people knew, heÆd probably be better off for it.
ôWho will know what my numbers are?ö Takato asked.
ôEveryone in Hypnos.ö
Takato didnÆt think that was a good idea; he figured the kids with low numbers were probably getting a lot a grief over it.
ôAnd IÆll know what their numbers are, too?ö He asked, supposing that, on the other hand, it did have some upsides.
ôEventually.ö
ôThen letÆs go measure me.ö
