Magical Cat

After dropping Elaine off at class, Li En wandered around the academy.

He was searching for Corbyn's whereabouts.

That guy rushed me back during the day; he was obviously going to work.

Last night, Li En worked for half a day, but only completed one-third of the task.

She thought that she should take another drag during the day to be on the safe side.

Otherwise, if the task cannot be completed due to time constraints, wouldn't that be a case of carelessness causing a malfunction?

Over the past few days, Li En has become familiar with the academy's environment.

In just over ten minutes, he found the classroom where Corbyn was having class.

Li En swaggered into the classroom, then jumped onto the platform and lay down as if he were on his own kang (heated brick bed).

Corbyn's eyes twitched, but he pretended not to see Lee.

The students who were initially drowsy suddenly became alert.

In the otherwise dull classroom, a kitten that came to audit the class brought them some fun and energy.

Li En didn't go too far; he just lay on the podium.

He couldn't understand what Brian was saying, so he squinted and dozed off, occasionally glancing at the students who were winking at him, which was a kind of fun for him.

He looked honest, but he was secretly throwing wooden spikes at the feet of the old man, trying to ambush him.

But Corbrain was a proper mage, and without him making any move, Li En's magic disintegrated on its own and returned to the elements.

This surprised Li En. He still pretended to be asleep, but he did indeed use the wooden spikes one after another.

An old man and a cat began a silent battle in the classroom.

It wasn't until the bell rang that Corbyn grabbed Lien and hurriedly fled the classroom.

"Didn't I tell you to come see me tonight?"

Corbyn teleported Li En to an empty laboratory and questioned him.

李恩摇摇屁股，甩甩尾巴，一副欠揍的表情。

"I'm telling you, my Seed of Life must be used under my supervision, and nowhere else!"

Kobryan emphasized his words.

Seeing how stubborn the old man was, Li En decided to try to charm him and act cute.

As a result, Cobra mentioned that he had appeared in a flash, this time directly in front of an office door.

Cobra knocked twice on the door, then threw Lee into it once the door opened.

"Ms. Melina, this is an important topic we will be researching next. Please take good care of it."

After giving Melina instructions as she opened the door, Corbyn vanished in a flash.

Melina looked bewildered, holding Li En who had been thrown into her arms, not knowing what was going on.

She quickly carried Li En into the office and asked, "What happened? From what Brian said, hasn't he already taken the bait?"

Li En sighed and told Melina what had happened last night.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Melina thought everything was going well and couldn't understand why Lee was in such a hurry.

"I want to be in contact with the Seed of Life during the day as well; it's very beneficial to me," Li En said frankly.

"Corbrain's caution is understandable; his experiment shouldn't be known to too many people. Our Unity Society only obtained the clue by chance; if those stubborn elves find out, they'll definitely come knocking."

Melina stroked Lee En's fur, telling him to be patient.

Li En wanted to be patient, but his spirit pill couldn't wait.

Melina saw him pacing around anxiously and assumed that Li En was unable to control his desires.

Honestly, this is more like a juvenile magical beast.

Li En is usually too mature for his age, and doesn't look like a child at all.

"That old man can't possibly have a full day of classes, can he? I just want to use the Seed of Life in my spare time, what's wrong with that?" Li En said, expressing his thoughts.

"There are too many people around during the day, so it's better to be careful. At night, everyone will assume that Brian is doing his own experiment, but during the day, there will inevitably be people looking into it."

Melina's words are not without merit.

Li En underestimated the importance of the Seed of Life.

Seeing that Brian was determined, Lee En had no choice but to give up his plan to use the Seed of Life during the day and went back to Elaine to rest, intending to deal with it again at night.

That evening, before Elaine could even fall asleep, he announced that he was going out.

Elaine, fearing that Li En would cause trouble, quickly stopped him.

It was only after Li En said he was going to help Melina complete her project that Elaine, who was still somewhat skeptical, was allowed to leave.

It was just getting dark when Li En jumped out of the window, only to find that he didn't see Corbyn who had come to pick him up.

He meowed a few times, but when Corbyn still didn't show up, he went to find him himself.

But since it was still early, the teachers' dormitory area was quite lively.

Li En glanced around and figured no one would care about him, so he swaggered in.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, he was grabbed and lifted up.

"Whose magical beast is this? Why is it running around like this? Doesn't it have an owner?"

As he spoke, stone shackles appeared on Li En's body, binding his limbs, head, and tail tightly together, rendering him completely immobile.

When he recognized the speaker, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

The one who caught Li En was none other than the old woman, Ms. Foppert.

This old woman liked to make things difficult for Elaine in class, and she had previously seen Elaine always bringing Li En with her.

The words she uttered while holding onto Li En were clearly a pretense of ignorance.

When Li En saw the smug look on the old woman's face, he knew that she was planning to use him to make things difficult for Elaine.

Once he understood this, Li En immediately struggled, but the shackles were incredibly strong.

He tried to bite it, only to find that the elements that made up the magic were extremely solid, unlike before when they could be slowly worn away.

"Hmph, I'd like to see who's so unruly, treating magical beasts like stray cats, letting them roam freely and even trespass into the teachers' dormitories."

Ms. Foppert raised her voice, clearly trying to escalate the situation.

She doesn't usually live in the college dormitory; she commutes from home.

I had some things to store in my dorm room today, and I was just about to go home when I saw Li En barging in as if no one was there.

Fobbitt arrested Li En on the spot, intending to make an example of him.

During this time, she heard every day how outstanding Elaine's performance was, how excellent her grades were, and how she had received special instruction and excellent evaluations.

The better Elaine, the student sponsored by a commoner, performed, the more uneasy Pharbit felt.

Now she finally has a chance to teach Elaine a lesson.

Foppert used magic to restrain Li En, then disgustedly released his hands and wiped them several times with a handkerchief.

"Let's go, little one."

"Let's see who your master is, daring to let your magical beast roam freely like this."

"I really can't think of many possible candidates for such an ignorant and rude person."

"Hehehe..."
