Magical Cat

After chatting for half the night, the old dean sent Li En back home.

In this respect, the old dean was much more lenient than Corbyn; at least he wouldn't force Li En to stay up all night with him.

Back in the dormitory, Li En crawled back into Elaine's bed, found a good spot, and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

It's already past midnight, but having stayed up this late, I'm actually feeling more energetic.

He thought about what the old dean had said to him today, and Li En understood the meaning behind it.

The old dean hoped that he would keep his distance from the Tongxin Association, at least to see clearly what kind of organization it was.

But in fact, Lee Eun never intended to join the Tongxin Society from the very beginning.

Melina had tricked him into signing the Dragon Lord Contract of the Unity Society with Elaine.

Melina hadn't mentioned the Unity Society at all before signing the contract.

She only decided to recruit Li En into their organization because she saw him as a magical beast with potential.

In this respect, Lee En doesn't actually blame Melina.

It was he and Elaine who sought help from Melina at the time. Without Melina's help, Li En's contract problem would still be unresolved.

Moreover, Li En was on a mission at the time, and she almost turned into a cat eunuch.

Being able to keep her cat bell is already a blessing; there's no room for being picky.

Looking back now, Li En had a lot to say, but given the circumstances at the time, neither he nor Elaine had much of a choice.

Lee En had no feelings for this organization.

Especially that so-called Dragon Lord Contract, it's clear that it hides a lot of secrets. How could a normal magic contract be dominated by a magical beast?

It might even grant magical beasts the incredible ability to control mages.

The only possibility Li En could think of right now was that this so-called Dragon Lord wanted to use this contract to achieve a major turnaround for magical beasts.

In today's world, magicians are in charge, and magical beasts are in charge, establishing a relationship of coexistence and mutual assistance, or even a master-servant relationship.

However, the Dragon Lord of the Tongxin Society did not seem satisfied with the status quo and wanted to make the magical beasts the masters.

As someone who personally experienced the contract, Lee Eun will have a deeper understanding of the concept of unity.

Compared to the old dean, he was more worried about the dangers posed by the Tongxin Society.

If such a thing were to actually be done, resistance from mainstream society would be foreseeable.

Therefore, Li En did not believe that the Tongxin Association would succeed.

"I just hope things will be peaceful for the next few years so Elaine can graduate smoothly, and then we can go on adventures together, earn money, travel, and see beautiful women from all races."

Li En, dreaming of a bright future, couldn't help but chuckle to herself, curling up into a ball and snuggling close to Elaine's arms.

He had only been daydreaming for a couple of seconds when new mission information suddenly popped into his mind.

[Task: Go to the Unity Society and learn about its daily operations (Incomplete)]

[Time Limit: 10 days]

[Reward: Random skill enhancement]

[Punishment: The Dragon Lord's Heart-to-Heart Contract degrades]

"Um?"

Lee Eun's big eyes suddenly opened, shining brightly in the darkness.

The slight drowsiness that had just surged up was swept away.

"Wait, how can this trigger a quest?"

Just when Li En felt he understood his talent well enough, unexpected things always happened.

"What's this? Did my conversation with the old dean trigger the quest, or is it something I was thinking about earlier?"

Lee En nestled in Elaine's arms and began to ponder.

Based on the patterns he had previously summarized regarding task triggering, Li En originally thought that task triggering followed certain rules.

That concerns his survival or growth.

But today's task seems to have nothing to do with either of those two points.

Or perhaps, Li En simply didn't realize the connection between them.

"What do you mean? Does my talent suggest that being of one mind is closely related to my survival and growth?" Li En frowned in thought.

Li En carefully examined the task panel and found that the task rewards were very tempting.

The reward for this mission is still skill enhancement, but now it's "random".

Obviously, we can no longer actively choose which skills to enhance as we did last time; we can only leave it to fate.

The skill enhancement reward from the last time transformed his magical perception, and greatly amplified the effects of his skills.

"I wonder if it's possible to enhance the same skill again? What kind of existence exists above the Gold rank?"

Li En couldn't help but swallow hard, imagining what the result would be if this skill enhancement were applied to magic perception.

To be honest, the probability is actually quite high.

He currently has three skills, two of which are passive skills: Magic Perception and Spiritual Body Tempering.

Another active skill is Quantification Eye.

Of these, only the Magic Perception skill has been upgraded to the Gold tier; the remaining two skills are still at the Silver tier.

If you do receive the skill enhancement reward, you'll have to choose one of three options.

The possibility of further enhancing magical perception is not low.

Li En checked the mission deadline one last time and found it was a full 10 days. Reassured, she snuggled back into Elaine's arms to sleep, planning to deal with it tomorrow.

……

The next day, Li En went directly to Melina and explained his desire to visit the Tongxin Society.

Melina naturally welcomed this.

However, she had classes in the morning, so she could only take Li En in the afternoon.

"If I go by myself, will Godfather Sam not receive me?" Lee asked.

He had actually had the idea of ​​exploring outside the academy on his own more than once.

However, Li En was a bit timid and afraid of encountering danger outside the academy.

At least within the academy, Li En is Elaine's magical beast, so no one will intentionally harm him, and he is also protected by teachers like Melina and Corbraine.

But Li En was still unsure about what was going on outside.

Although he had gone out with Melina and Elaine a few times, he was not so arrogant as to think he knew everything about the outside world.

"Although Godfather Sam knows you, there might be some shortcomings in your hospitality if you go alone. It would be better if I took you there," Melina explained.

Melina found it strange, but she was also delighted, when Li En suddenly became curious about the Tongxin Society.

Melina still very much hopes that Lee En can accept the Tongxin Society and genuinely join them.

Li En nodded, agreeing to Melina's suggestion.

He first accompanied Elaine to class in the morning, and then left the academy with Melina, heading towards the church of the Unity Society.

At the same moment, the former dean was gazing at the direction of the college gate from his office.

There are buildings in between, and they are quite far apart, so ordinary people naturally can't see anything.

But a faint light gleamed in the old dean's eyes, as if he had seen everything.

"Did the persuasion backfire?" the old dean sighed.

"If you're so worried, why not just fire Melina? She doesn't have any family connections."

Inside the dean's office, not only was the old dean alone, but also the discipline director, Parker, who was having tea with him.

Parker was leisurely sipping his tea when he casually uttered these words.
