The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"By the way, let's go take a look at the back mountain."

Dekan had some free time, so he decided to find out what Cornelia had been up to these past two days.

Even if she's not on the back mountain today, as long as Dekan goes there, he'll definitely find some clues.

So Dekan strolled around the campus.

Basking in the comforting autumn sunshine, I strolled leisurely to the back of the mountain.

Compared to a mountain, the back mountain is more like a rolling hill.

The vegetation is much denser than in other areas.

Under the sunlight, the flowers and plants shimmered with a bright luster.

Because there are relatively few tall trees, students can see the scenery clearly from a distance.

Dekan's gaze quickly caught that familiar figure.

Even though Cornelia was wearing casual clothes today, her red hair was still very eye-catching no matter where she stood.

Cornelia was sitting under a large tree, looking somewhat melancholy.

She rested her chin on her hands, gazing at a group of elfin cats on the lawn.

They look no different from ordinary cats, but they possess some magical talents.

The cats are eating dried fish.

The dried fish seemed to have all been brought by Cornelia.

Strangely, these cats didn't seem to be enjoying their food.

It felt like risking your life to find food.

They always approached the cat food bowl containing dried fish very cautiously, observing Cornelia's movements from time to time.

Only when it's certain that Cornelia, who's sitting far away, won't move, will the elf cat suddenly accelerate and sprint to the cat food bowl.

Then it snatched a small piece of dried fish and ran away.

Clearly, these elf cats were all terrified of Cornelia.

She exudes a kind of oppressive aura, like that of the king of beasts.

Even if she were entirely human.

However, in the eyes of animals, she might still look similar to the dragon demon form in Demon Academy.

She could only pitifully hide far away, not moving an inch, watching the kitten hunt for food.

"So that's why you come to feed the cats every day."

Dekan muttered to himself.

It seems I should go and help her.

It's so pitiful to see someone wanting to pet a cat but only being able to admire it from afar.

As a beast-catching expert, Dekan wanted to make Cornelia smile.

He shook his head with a helpless smile and strode towards Cornelia.

055 Dekan found a cat

Cornelia's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had sensed something.

She turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Before Dekan even got close, Cornelia spotted him.

Dekan laughed and called out to her, "Noon!"

Cornelia: "Okay!"

Dekan quickened his pace, jogged to her side, and asked, "Cat?"

"Well......"

Cornelia was clearly downcast and nodded.

Dekan grinned: "Help."

"Huh?"

Without lingering on Cornelia's slightly surprised expression, Dekan walked towards the group of elf cats.

The cats seemed to have no wariness of Dekan whatsoever.

He picked up the cat food bowl and walked away from Cornelia.

Gradually, some elf cats began to follow him; they all wanted the dried fish.

The kitten wasn't afraid of him at all; he was incredibly friendly.

Then he put the bowl on the ground, picked up a cat sprite, and put a piece of dried fish into its mouth.

"Meow~"

After it finished eating contentedly, Dekan began to tease its lower jaw.

He skillfully stimulated the kitten's pressure points, even making rhythmic sounds while stroking it.

It's like a lullaby, helping the cat fall asleep.

The cat gradually became sleepy.

in fact.

He secretly used the hypnotic gas for a fleeting moment, but he held his breath.

Soon, the cat fell asleep.

Then Dekan carried the cat back to Cornelia's side.

Cornelia looked at the kitten in Dekan's hands with great excitement and swallowed hard.

Cornelia: "Touch?" (May I touch it?)

Dekan: "Hmm."

Cornelia reached out her hand with a trembling hand, feeling a sense of exhilaration as if a long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled.

However, at that moment the kitten suddenly woke up, its fur standing on end.

It frantically broke free from Dekan's grasp.

Then, terrified, he ran away in a flash and was never seen again.

"...It seems we'll have to completely confuse it."

"I'm saying this," Dekan said, resting his chin on his hand.

"No!"

Cornelia quickly waved her hand.

Although she was very grateful to Dekan.

But this kind of cat-luring behavior is not what she wants.

She wanted to truly live in harmony with these adorable creatures.

"Let me think about it."

Dekan sat down next to Cornelia, leaned against a tree, and pondered.

Since I've decided to help her, I have to see it through to the end.

Dekan: "What are your plans for this afternoon?"

Cornelia: "Idle."

She planned to take a leisurely nap under this tree.

Dekan: "Wait for me."

Cornelia: "Okay."

After saying that, Dekan stood up and walked away quickly.

He went to the store and bought a lot of medicinal herbs, then returned to his dormitory and began to prepare the medicine.

His primary purpose in developing the [Poisonous Ground Spike] was for hunting.

This is used to obtain the core of the monster.

In order to better lure wild animals, he also concocted spices to attract them.

If they could be more enticed to the cats, perhaps they could overcome their fear of Cornelia.

This will allow Cornelia to successfully interact with the cat.

Although he did not bring the beast-attracting spices from the border to the capital, they were not difficult to make.

Moreover, we just received a lot of raw materials from Mier that can also be used.

In this way, he quickly prepared the "cat-attracting drug".

After preparing the medicine, Dekan took a small medicine bottle and ran to the back mountain again.

He sat down next to Cornelia and opened the medicine bottle.

As soon as the fragrance wafted out, the group of elven cats swarmed towards Dekan like madmen.

However, they were still afraid of Cornelia and dared not get too close.

As if lines had been drawn on the ground, none of them dared to cross the boundary.

Dekan sprinkled some of the potion around Cornelia.

Although the elf cats were still afraid of Cornelia, some of the more fearless ones gradually dared to approach, sniffing her from a distance.

Cornelia makes any noise and they will retreat in fright.

Cornelia remained motionless, almost like a statue.
