Crack!
Crack!
…
The sound of pop cans opening one after another.
The meat on the grill over the charcoal was sizzling with oil.
Logan, Lilith, and Jessica were sitting on the grass in the park, enjoying a barbecue, and they had just caught a deer.
To be more precise, Jessica was in charge of cooking the meat, while Lilith was feeding it to Logan.
And the golden deer, which Jessica had just made a contract with, was being used by Logan as a pillow, leaning against his back.
Seeing Logan enjoying himself so much, Jessica, who also came from a poor family, originally couldn't stand it.
But every time she tried to complain, her phone would ring with a sound that said "cash has been transferred."
"Beep, your account has received 100 Federation Coins..."
"Beep, your account has received 100 Federation Coins..."
Looking at the long list of transfer records on her phone, Jessica finally stopped resisting Logan's orders and happily became his little chef.
After all, Logan was giving her too much.
When Lilith brought over another piece of steak, Jessica wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned to look at Logan and said, "You haven't gone to class for two weeks straight."
"Do you really spend all day in bed with this familiar, like people say?"
When Logan heard Jessica's direct question, he immediately looked at Lilith.
But Lilith's face was already red, and the redness went all the way to her ears.
"Miss Jessica, Master works very hard every day. It's not like what you think,"Lilith said quietly, watching Jessica's reaction carefully.
Then, the two girls locked eyes. Lilith realized that Jessica was also secretly watching her, and she quickly lowered her head in nervousness.
Seeing this, Jessica put down her knife and fork and looked at Logan seriously: "The first month of having a familiar is the golden time for a familiar tamer to improve their level. Don't waste it."
"In a few days, there's the citywide sophomore potential test. If your mental power score is too low, it'll be embarrassing for you."
She pulled out a test ticket from her pocket and handed it to Logan: "I got this for you. Next Monday at 10 a.m. Don't be late."
Logan took the test ticket and his face turned serious.
He knew that making a contract with a familiar was just the beginning for a familiar tamer.
In the path of training as a familiar tamer, there were stages like apprentice, soldier, warlord, commander, lord, and monarch.
Each stage had five levels, from one star to five stars.
Logan and Jessica, who had just made a contract with a familiar, were just fresh newbies in the apprentice stage.
Twilight City had gone to a lot of trouble to do this potential test before the college entrance exam, probably to find talent early and invest in them.
After thinking about this, Logan finished his soda in one go: "Good, I also want to see what I've learned in these past days."
After making a plan with Jessica to meet at the exam hall next Monday, Logan took Lilith home.
On the way, Lilith kept her head down and said nothing, her face full of thoughts.
Until they got home, she finally pulled on Logan's sleeve and said nervously, "Master, I won't let you down next week."
"Ha ha, believe me, you're gonna make a big splash."Logan patted Lilith's head, and then picked up the Moonflower Dew, starting his daily training again.
The Time Has Come for the Potential Test.Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the time for the potential test.
Outside the exam room, a long line had already formed. Almost all the senior students in Twilight City had gathered here.
Among them...
Some sat on the ground, closed their eyes, and meditated.
Some talked in small groups, trying to get information.
Others rolled up their sleeves, injected themselves with drugs, and cheated secretly.
Even though this was just a potential test, the students still took it very seriously.
The sign in front of the exam hall clearly said that this test only checked the Mental Power of familiar tamers.
Any student whose Mental Power reached four stars in the apprentice stage could sign a contract with Twilight City and get training resources.
"I'm so angry! I wish I had sold my Minotaur later!"Jessica cried, while she angrily squeezed the neck of the golden deer.
For a familiar tamer, the first few days after making a contract with a familiar would make their Mental Power rise quickly, because the familiar's strength would push them.
The stronger the familiar, the better the Mental Power boost.
For Jessica, selling her B-level familiar had slowed down her Mental Power growth.
That made her feel very sad and angry.
Of course, there were a lot of other students who made the same stupid mistake.
While these people were beating their chests and feeling sorry for themselves, Logan and Lilith walked by, and they immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Wow, such a beautiful succubus! That familiar tamer looks so lucky!"
"Succubus? That's the Logan who summoned an angel familiar a few days ago!"
"Oh, I remember now! He's even worse than us. He lost his strongest A-level angel, and then he called a super weak succubus, haha."
Maybe they were afraid of bad luck spreading, so people moved away from Logan as he passed.
But their eyes still showed a lot of happiness at his misfortune.
One bold student even released his Crimson Lion familiar, and the lion roared at Lilith to show off.
Logan stopped walking and turned to look at the big cat, which was showing its teeth.
[Race: Crimson Lion]
[Stat: Storm]
[Rank: C-level 3 stars]
[Stage: Apprentice 3 stars]
[Talent: Frenzy of Blood]
[Skill: Roar of the Lion]
[Stat: Power 25, Stamina 23, Mind 10, Agility 15]
After these days of effort, Logan could now see more detailed information about his familiar.
A C-level 3-star familiar dared to challenge him? That made him feel really funny.
"Lilith, make it shut up!"
Lilith didn't hesitate at all. She stared straight into the eyes of the Crimson Lion.
"Enslave Mind!"
Everyone nearby heard a sweet voice, and they all got lost in their own thoughts.
When they came back to reality, the fierce Crimson Lion was now sitting at Logan's feet, licking his boots over and over.
When the people saw this, they were all shocked.
"Damn it! What did you do to my familiar? Why is it betraying me?"The student who had just tried to teach Logan a lesson felt his connection with the Crimson Lion was completely gone. He turned pale and fell to the ground. "Demon! Your familiar is a demon!"
The Student Fled in Fear.The student was so scared he rolled and crawled away from the exam area.
In contrast, Logan was holding Lilith with one hand and the Crimson Lion with the other, walking toward the exam hall.
"Excuse me, please move!"
When the students at the entrance heard Logan's voice, they jumped in fear and scattered.
Unlike before, these students all kept their heads down and quietly hid their familiar behind them.
Jessica followed behind Logan, her face pink with excitement and curiosity.
When there were no more people around Logan, she quietly pulled on his sleeve and said, "Lilith is so strong now! Did you really work hard these past days?"
As she said this, Jessica suddenly remembered something and clenched her fists excitedly. "Is it because of the Moonflower Dew I bought for you? Teach me how to use it, I want to try it too!"
When she heard Jessica's request, Logan and Lilith exchanged a strange look.
"Well... that Moonflower Dew isn't suitable for you,"Lilith didn't know how to explain, so she politely refused.
But she had underestimated how much a greedy person wanted to get stronger.
"I don't care! The next time you two use Moonflower Dew, I want to join in!"Jessica was determined to dig out the secret of Moonflower Dew from Logan and Lilith.
In the middle of the awkward moment, a bell rang suddenly from inside the exam hall.
Then a bright light spread through the glass, making everyone's eyes hurt.
After they adjusted to the light, the exam hall doors were fully opened.
From the back of the hall, two tall and elegant women walked out side by side.
When the students saw the two girls' faces, a wave of whispers spread through the crowd.
"Isn't that Evelynna, the top student at Dusk High?"
"Look! There's a pair of wings on the girl next to her!"
"Can't you see it? She's the angel that was summoned a few days ago!"
"An angel? That angel was sold to the Temple, right?"
"Wait!"
"Does that mean... Evelynna is the legendary Temple's Holy Maiden?"
