"Ah, I'm sorry! I bumped into you, right..."
Lucy knelt down and rubbed her forehead. She felt a smooth and soft touch on her hand. She squeezed it unconsciously, causing her teeth to protest.
The little paws pushed and pushed her, as if coquettishly, making people have the urge to pinch her twice more.
Lucy coughed twice and let go of her hand. Somehow, the haze in her heart disappeared instantly.
Take it one step at a time.
Demon pets have just entered people's lives, and it is unknown what they will develop into in the future. Maybe she is overthinking it.
Lucy picked up Fang and rubbed its hood and ears, feeling that her mood had somehow improved.
…
After the list of twelve people was announced, the in-house selection for the joint examination of the six colleges came to an end, and the exams for most students ended here.
Although they failed to get the best results and various coveted rewards, for many people, the current results are enough for them to enjoy the rest of the holidays.
As for competitions between colleges, that kind of thing should be left to capable people to resolve.
The students of the Holy Seminary walked outside in groups. They gathered in a group and discussed everything that happened today. The names of various familiars were mentioned repeatedly, and the wind drifted to the ears of Lucy and Dean.
The two walked at the end and listened to their reflections along the way. Their expressions fluctuated with the changes in the content of the students' conversations.
Especially when he heard the students' guesses about his identity, Dean could feel the look in Lucy's eyes without looking to the side.
He glanced at Kana, who was talking to Yaya about something, and sighed inwardly.
In fact, he didn't expect it to be so high-profile at first...
However, Kana is still young after all, so it is understandable that she should act more openly.
As the master, he can only bear with it.
Dean, who was walking away with his hands behind his back under the appraising eyes of the students, didn’t know yet that the debut of magic pets and the impact they had had already begun to spread rapidly the moment the exam ended. Spread outward.
His idea of not wanting to be too high-profile was destined to be strangled to death in the cradle as early as the moment he left the house.
…
After patting the side of the person in her arms, the woman in the long skirt twisted twice and let out a burst of sweet laughter.
Mason bit her ear and made a muffled sound.
"You go back first, Jennifer."
"My friend is coming over."
The smile on the woman's face froze, then she stiffened her neck, saluted him, and quickly left the room.
Mason adjusted his clothes, ignoring the conspicuous hickey on his neck, and looked up at the full-length mirror opposite.
At some point, a male figure appeared on it, like a shadow reflected on the mirror, but there was no one in front of the mirror.
"Good evening, Mr. Mason."
With a strange expression, Cedric pointed out the reason for the woman's embarrassment, "If I remember correctly, the one just now should be Lev's niece, named Karenina."
"Oh, is it so?"
The boy with long silver hair thought about it for a moment, shrugged and said indifferently.
"It doesn't matter, I said she is Jennifer, she is Jennifer."
"Basic Textbook teaches us that all women in the world are called Jennifer and all men are called Tom."
"Right, Tom?"
The man whose real name was indeed "Tom" had an indifferent expression and was completely immune to this joke. He rubbed his brows and got straight to the point: "Our conversation needs to be based on the fact that you have not been stunned by a woman today... so When did that lady come?"
Hearing this question, Mason pulled his collar, looking aggrieved.
"An hourglass ago... I've just started. If you don't believe it, look at the lip marks, they haven't even dried yet..."
After complaining in a low voice for a few more times, he wiped the lip marks that were still dry and yawned.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me."
After confirming that his friend did not need to make up lessons, Cedric nodded slightly and continued: "His Majesty wants us to curb the popularity of magic pets..."
"His Majesty?"
Cedric fiddled with his soft ears and made a strange sound.
"God, I doubt my ears... Do we actually need to listen to 'Your Majesty'?"
He leaned on the sofa cushions, revealing sharp fangs that did not belong to humans.
His eyes lingered on the pair of small fangs for a moment, and Cedric decisively gave up on discussing imperial power with this alien immigrant.
Besides, what he said was right.
Your subjects are more than just your subjects.
This sentence is perfectly suitable to describe the current relationship between Paul III and the new professionals.
The existence of Raleye City greatly suppressed the power of the imperial power.
If Paul III dared to blatantly target a promising new career, he would not make those small moves that would not be on the table.
Mason continued: "I know what you are worried about, but my opinion is... there is no need to stop it. Students are the most willing to accept new things. Let them be the first group to accept magic pets and apply them to daily life. It is most suitable to be used as a test object in actual combat exercises.”
Mason felt that he understood the students' intentions very well.
There are ways to make yourself stronger without much effort, why not do it?
Mason could understand this feeling very well.
"Nika baby, bring me something to drink."
He shouted towards the door behind the study with a sigh on his face. After a moment, two tentacles reached out and placed the teacup and teapot in front of Mason.
Mason, who was still leaning on the cushion without moving, poured himself a cup of tea. While savoring the aroma of the tea, he held up the teapot and said to Cedric.
"Understanding comes first!"
Cedric knew who those tentacles belonged to without asking. He looked at Mason with a complicated expression, not expecting him to surrender so quickly.
"Don't look at me with that look. You all know to enjoy life, let alone..."
He clinked the teapot with the teacup, making a crisp sound.
"Introduce me, my little sweetheart."
He waved his fingers twice, motioning Cedric to look toward his room.
The man in the mirror looked at his friend indifferently, not bothering to remind him that his perspective was limited and he could only see a patch of carpet.
"You people just have a lot of thoughts. You worry about this and that all day long. You wish you had everything in your own plan..."
Mason put his feet on the sofa, nestled in the cushions as if he had no bones, and said lazily.
"You don't understand surprises at all."
"Fortunately, those young men and girls can still be saved."
"At this point, they are much better than you."
Mason read in the tone of a bard: "My dear Dean, a flower that is about to bloom cannot be restrained."
"You have to learn to love and tolerate."
