The fairy maid cheers for her deceased master today.

Ex always had the feeling that he was sitting in an interrogation room.

"Three months ago, Angel's registration was: F-level potential." Samuel's fingers tapped the register across from him, his dark gray eyes like the fog of London. "Now it's different..."

A proprietary detector's red light swept across Angel's head. The water column in the detector hummed as it rose.

"Reached D-rank. Interesting." Samuel sneered. "May I ask what you fed him, Sir? Honey? Or...?"

He suddenly leaned forward: "What kind of power did she come into contact with that she shouldn't have?"

Angel gripped X's clothes tightly in fear, her blue eyes glancing at the silver chain on the table as if it might come to life at any moment.

"Bread and milk," AX replied calmly, not intending to give the other person any further questions. "With honey occasionally. She likes it sweet."

"Fairy Raising Guide, Article 7: Honey will overstimulate the fairy's power."

"The Holy Church even cares about the fairies' snacks?" Ex raised an eyebrow.

"As long as she didn't eat anything she shouldn't have." Samuel looked at Angel.

"You know, I've always been law-abiding."

Samuel was silent for two seconds.

He then picked up the silver syringe on the table—the tip of the needle gleamed coldly, like a slender mosquito.

"Alright, let's begin the blood test."

Based on memory fragments, this is one of the detection procedures for foreign contamination.

X finally understood what Angel was afraid of—her biggest fear was getting injections.

Angel's little hands trembled incessantly in front of the syringe. When X pressed down on her wrist, he could feel her pulse pounding like a piston in a steam engine.

The moment the needle pierced her skin, Angel's blue eyes snapped shut, her long eyelashes casting small fan-like shadows beneath her eyelids.

The silver syringe gleamed faintly, and blood swirled inside.

Deacon Samuel quickly withdrew the syringe, injected the blood into the silver cup, and poured in some kind of powder.

The bright red blood turned golden.

"Normal." Samuel turned to Axe. "Your turn, Sir Moore."

Angel's abilities should be used now.

[Special Ability 2: Soul Anchoring (Level 2). Effect: Grants the Contractor the "Resurrection of the Dead" status. This effect cannot be dispelled, but requires continuous consumption of "Living and Dead Energy" to maintain.]

The "Monster Resurrection (Level 2)" state grants the body greater activity and functionality. Short-term, high-volume consumption of "Living-Dead Energy" can briefly enhance "Monster Resurrection" to a "Full Resurrection" state.

X instantly felt reborn. He was now in a state of "complete resurrection".

Then, without making a sound, X reached out his hand.

When the needle pierced X's skin, X's pupils contracted slightly.

He felt his life force churning in his veins, and a wave of worry instinctively washed over him—what if it were actually detected…

But soon, his blood also turned golden in the silver cup.

Samuel glanced at it: "Normal."

Ax breathed a sigh of relief.

But Samuel's gaze was fixed on his wrist—there were no needle marks, only a faint white mark, as if it had never been pierced.

"Good resilience," Samuel said, narrowing his eyes. "Much better than the last examination."

Because he was now fully revived, X's normally beating heart skipped a beat.

There must be a reasonable explanation.

Axe sensed that the cold light in Samuel's eyes was growing stronger.

The hidden killing intent is slowly seeping out.

An explanation is needed, an explanation is required immediately!

A reasonable explanation...and it fits the current situation...What exactly is different about me compared to when I came last time?

What's the difference...? It's that Angel's potential is different.

You only need to tell part of the truth. There is no need to lie.

Telling only half the truth is also a form of deception.

"There's not much work lately," AX said casually, lowering his sleeves. "I've had a good rest."

"Oh?"

"And in addition—my maid has improved."

Samuel leaned back slightly.

The restless silver chain instantly returned to calm.

"Is this her new ability? The result of her potential evolution?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Not bad, the fairy who knew nothing before has actually improved."

"I was also surprised."

"So——"

Samuel suddenly pulled a silver cross from the drawer: "Then come with me, the final test. Against the aliens."

Aix was stunned.

Angel's blue eyes immediately lit up with excitement: "It's monster fighting? Like the monster battles in fairy adventure stories? We've never had this kind of test before!"

"You weren't a big threat before."

"Oh……"

"The test is dangerous." Samuel's silver chain was wrapped around a cross. "Remember to give it your all."

The final test room was back on the first floor.

At the far end of the first floor, there is a large hall with candles lining the walls.

There is a pool in the center of the hall.

"This is the testing hall. It's used to suppress alien contamination or to initiate alien contamination tests."

Samuel explained simply.

"Logically, fairies with D-rank potential should be able to awaken offensive abilities. Besides healing her master, what other abilities does she have?" Samuel asked again.

That's illogical!

Angel does indeed have two abilities, but these two abilities are not something to be revealed to others.

Ax didn't want the black-robed deacon to recall the commotion at the Crystal Palace yesterday.

"No, she's only just started to improve, so..."

Samuel stopped in his tracks.

"She hasn't awakened yet?"

"At least in terms of aggression..."

"Then we can't proceed with the final test. Please wait a moment."

Samuel clapped his hands.

Soon, a fairy from the Holy Path Society walked over with graceful steps and handed over a small glass bottle.

It contained a purplish liquid.

Through fragments of memory, X finally remembered what it was.

This is the church's evolution fluid. The church has long conducted extensive research on fairies and has long mastered the method to awaken the abilities of fairies.

Why must Angel acquire new abilities?

Seemingly sensing Ax's doubt, Samuel shook his head and said:

"This is a necessary step. All fairies, all fairies with potential of D-rank or higher, are easily targeted by alien species... therefore, all of them must undergo alien-resistant testing."

"But we won't let the fairies die; we're watching how they perform in battle."

"But wouldn't letting fairies come into contact with alien species cause the alien species to contaminate the fairies?" Ex countered.

X hasn't forgotten that fairy who was corrupted and dragged away earlier.

"Heh, actually it all comes down to whether it will get contaminated."

Samuel offered no further explanation, but instead handed the potion to Angel.

Angel glanced at X.

Faced with the black-robed deacon, X had no choice but to nod.

Angel obediently drank it.

At that very moment—the Pure Poetry System popped up again.

[Contract Fairy Detected: Angel is About to Awaken a New Ability]

Please select the attribute direction of the contracted fairy.

[1. Ice Flower (Damage)] [2. Freeze (Weakness)] [3. Freeze (Control)]

The system has this advantage too!? Adding directional control?

What's missing is direct damage.

X made his choice immediately.

Suddenly, blue light burst from Angel's fingertips. Ice flowers bloomed suddenly in her hand.

The edges of the ice flowers gleamed with a cold light.

Samuel's pupils contracted sharply. He touched the ice flower, and his fingertip was immediately cut.

"Ice attribute..." The silver chain trembled in his palm. "An excellent ability. Sir Mor, your fairy is special. It's rare for a D-rank potential fairy to awaken a C-rank potential ability."

But these only indicate potential. Potential is not the same as ability.

"I was lucky," X said modestly.

"My master taught me!" Angel suddenly looked up, her blue eyes shining like two stars. "My master said that as long as you keep thinking about 'cold,' you can create ice flowers!"

Samuel's gaze shifted to X: "You understand fairy ability development?"

"Do you believe in angels, or do you believe I am a lucky one favored by the gods?"

"That's true... I don't believe it at all."

Clearly, Samuel also thought Angel was dull-witted.

Therefore, Samuel's lips seemed to curve into a smile for a moment, then froze instantly: "Then get ready, it's time for the final test."
