This event occurred during the rest day after the trio (Sarcony, Mo'er, and Arthur) returned from the 'never-ending dream' of Sophie.
Arthur put his tired body to rest while Sarcony and Mo'er gathered in a small, empty classroom.

Sarcony constructed a summoning circle (an annular ring with mysterious runes on its flat surface made of solar aura, floating above Sarcony's outstretched palm) and poured energy into it.
[Come forth, O creature of Light, Shine thy grace onto the populace, Shield thy summoner from the darkness, Uplift the world from the chaos and destruction, Solar Imp; the savior]
The moment she chanted, the summoning formation glowed in blood-red color, shattering into smithereens that drifted off into the air.
In its place was a small creature, golden translucent like amber in appearance.
It looked like an ugly, shriveled goblin reduced to the size of a palm of an average human floating in the air. Only, its countenance was beautiful, unlike its body.
" This ... !?! " (Mo'er)
The creature turned towards smiling Sarcony and gave a goofy grin.
{Kaka ... Kiki ... Kakakaka}
It spoke in an unintelligible language but she somehow understood, 'Forest spirit, are you willing to forge a *familiar* pact with our Solar imp race?'
" I wish to do so. " (Sarcony)
A mental connection was forged between her and innumerable Solar Imps that existed in the Spirit Imp realm in the Celestial plane of existence with the summoned Imp as the bridge.
The Imp cackled one last time before disappearing in a flash of particles.
" Onee sama, was that the summoning skill you obtained from her!? " (M'oer)
" Yes, isn't it amazing! now that I forged a pact with the entire Solar Imp race, I can summon them in a blink of an eye without chanting the spell at all.
They are unbelievably powerful despite what their appearance suggests.
We got ourselves a masquerade for my profession and a powerful trump card. " (Sarcony)
Ever since that day, the imp race has become a powerful ally of the 'Dark Executioner', the one who turned the tide of the Human-Elf battle around.
