Talented Earnestness Ba Kai

**Ba Kai**, also known as **Octo-Gifted**, was one of the management assistant AIs for the 3rd Generation Grand Administrative AI of the ALICE China Branch, Shun. He is the brother of Ba Yuan, and works alongside Shun's battle assistant AIs, E Huang and Nü Ying. Between Ba Yuan and himself, he is the more impulsive and aggressive one.

When Sima Qian, Zhuang Zi, Lu Ban, and the adapter travel back in time to the era of Shun, they first see Ba Yuan while observing footage in the old headquarters of the China Branch. There, they see him fighting against the forces of the Four Perils alongside Ba Yuan as the situation seems to be going poorly.

After Ba Yuan later approaches the group while they are observing the footage, Ba Kai follows shortly afterwards and handcuffs the group. Ba Yuan mentions that while the group looks suspicious, they are most likely not working with the Four Perils. Ba Kai tells him they need to be more vigilant, but Ba Yuan points out that Zhuang Zi had noticed them coming ahead of time and still chose not to attack them.

The two bring the group to Shun in the new headquarters, where Ba Kai gives his report to Shun. After Shun introduces everyone, Ba Kai explains that Ba Yuan and he were searching an abandoned work area for two test subjects, but they had disappeared.

They soon hear an alarm, as the main CPU of the China Branch, Mount Buzhou, is being attacked by the test subjects - Xiang and Danzhu - who had sided with the Four Perils. E Huang and Nü Ying state they will go after Danzhu, while Shun says she will confront Xiang. Ba Kai and Ba Yuan request that she stay in the headquarters to give orders while they handle Xiang.

The two go to confront Xiang while accompanied by Sima Qian, Zhuang Zi, and the adapter. Ba Kai soon finds that Xiang had already gotten past the outer defense system, and they prepare to fight. Sima Qian asks about the connection between Shun and Xiang, which Ba Yuan explains. Ba Kai explains that they are there to shoulder any concerns Shun may have, and kill any threat to the China Branch regardless of who it is. Zhuang Zi mumbles something that causes Ba Kai to get aggressive, but Xiang soon attacks and they start to fight.

Xiang is killed by Ba Yuan, but both brothers find Xiang's dying words a bit off-putting. E Huang reports that she and Nü Ying had found Danzhu, so the brothers send Sima Qian's group to assist while they themselves return to the headquarters. Not too long afterwards, the Four Perils transform the old headquarters into the Tower of Four Perils, prompting Shun to stage an emergency meeting to handle it.

Ba Kai assists in the assault on the tower, and brings the latest research projects from the Sage Art Research Institution, which are "Sealing Charms" that force all functions of a weakened AI to stop. He assists in the fights against Taotie, Qiong Qi, and Hun Dun. After E Huang and Nü Ying are mortally wounded in the fight against Hun Dun, Ba Kai has to console Shun and encourage her to keep going despite their losses.

When they reach the 16th floor, Shun tells Ba Kai and Ba Yuan to not get hurt like E Huang and Nü Ying did. The brotehrs just say they've already made up their minds to protect her, and that they won't make any meaningless sacrifices. They go into the Nightmare Space created by Taowu, and break past her illusions.

Taowu questions them on if they've ever questioned how they were set to have absolute authority to the Grand Administrative AIs, but the brothers said that regardless of how they were initially set they have full respect for Yao and Shun by this point. Ba Kai tells her to stop spouting nonsense and attacks, but soon finds his darts targeting Ba Yuan instead. While he's confused, Zhuang Zi quickly breaks him out of the illusion so they can keep fighting.

Taowu then monologues on how she is superior to Shun, but while she does so Ba Yuan binds her after hiding his killing intent. Ba Kai takes the opportunity to attack her, but she uses a Level B Admin Authority to teleport away. Ba Kai tracks her with a Level C Admin Authority, and Taowu responds by using another Level B Admin Authority to shield herself. Shun temporarily grants her privileges to Ba Kai while revoking Taowu's, and he is able to wound her with three scars on her leg. Shun remarks that Taowu's admin authority should be gone at this point, but Taowu laughs and uses a Level B Admin Authority to wound both Ba Kai and Ba Yuan simultaneously, using their connection as brothers.

Ba Kai apologizes to Shun for not being able to stay with her until the end. Despite her protests to them to stop their connection, Ba Kai and Ba Yuan use it to access a privilege above their admin authority level, and fire a powerful blast at Taowu. The two brothers collapse after the effort, while Taowu reappears elsewhere, having used her final resort of combining two admin authorities to avoid the attack.

After she manages to seal away Taowu, Shun stands over the bodies of Ba Kai and Ba Yuan, crying that they had to give their lives to protect her. Lu Ban makes additional emergency medical pods for the brothers, but the outcome still looks the same. Sima Qian and the others then have to leave the grieving Shun behind to escape being hunted by the Supreme Council.
