It didn't take long for the family of three to finish their breakfast.
"Kiana you should rest first, we'll take care of the cleaning," Karina said to Kiana with a worried smile.
"I'll rest later, I also want to see brother's summoned spirit!" Kiana rejected her mother and said the second half excitedly.
"All right then, Kiann you should be able to summon her now, right? You have rested for a whole night." Karina ask.
Although Kiann and his summoned spirit transported in this world together, the summoning duration is limited so his summoned spirit returned to her world and Kiann could only summon her again after some rest.
"It should be. Summon Lily " He then put a hand gesture to summon Lily and chant and a beautiful human figure with cat ears and tails on it appear in front of Kiann.
"Master, what is it that you needed me to do? You need me to please you?" The cat woman immediately asked that question when she appeared that she didn't even notice the 2 women behind her.
"No,no,no!!" Kiann immediately rejected her idea and look at her grudgingly while thinking. 'Shit! Do you want to get me killed?!'
"Aheemm!! Mom, Sis, this is my summoned spirit, Lily and she is a bit special as you can see." Kiann immediately change the topic as he introduced his summoned spirit to them.
"Woooww!! Brother your summoned seductr..~ I mean spirit has a beautiful human figure and I didn't think that with that looks of hers, she is an intelligent spirit!" Kiana almost said seductress but quickly change, she only thinks that this woman became her brother's summon because she seduces him.
"Of courses I have intelligence! What do you think of me as? A baby? A Fool? An ordinary unintelligent and ugly beast? Or only a beauty but no brains?" Before Kiann explain some things, Lily who heard what Kiana said was extremely angry and she thought that this little girl is belittling her of her intelligence because of her looks.
"Lily! Don't shout at my sister, you should apologize to her!" Kiann reprimanded her with a shout and commanded her to apologize to his sister.
"I'm sorry master, I didn't know she was your sister. But she is belittling me and our sacred race" She apologized to Kiann and made some excuses as not to apologize to that little undeveloped girl.
"She is just excited when she sees you, so she exclaimed that. Anyway, you haven't apologized to her yet."
"Humphh! Alright. I apologized for shouting at you miss undeveloped little girl!~" She apologized sarcastically while prolonging the word undeveloped little girl.
"Hummpphh, you're just a seductress, who seduce brother to be a summoned spirit of him" Kiana berated, not willing to lose to her.
"Hummph~...."
"Hummph~..."
The two argued like a little kid fighting over a sweet candy they both like but only has one.
Karina and Kiann just looked at them amusingly and didn't even have a thought of stopping them.
"Kiann, what rank and level is your summoned spirit?" Karina asked her son curiously.
"She should be only a bronze rank level 7."
"How come? She should be a transcendent being if what you said that she is a cat and can transform into a human and with that level of intelligence... Only Transcendent are only like that. And should only be possible to diamond and above rank" Karina murmured but Kiann is still able to hear it.
"What is transcendent that you are talking about?" Kiann asked curiously. Because he'd never heard of that term, even with some books. As far as Kiann knows about the ranking system it is only composed of Iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond and this transcendent term is new to him.
"I don't know much about it cause I only heard some of it at your father's clan when some elders are gossiping it and I can't read books related to it cause my position there is low. All I know is that a transcendent is a spiritual being who transcended beyond the beast level and gained enough intelligence to acts like a human and learn some skills and techniques, they could also transform into human form if they are a beast. Exempted for those who have already a human figure like battle angels and others. And most importantly, those transcendent defies the logic of strength surmounting. As you know a bronze level can surmount 2 levels of strength for those rank below it and additional by 2 per subsequent rank up, right? But the transcendent are different even at low level they can still fight stronger than their peers at diamond rank when fighting against those who have not transcended. Because they can act even without the command of their master and can make a good combination of their techniques so that's why they are stronger among their peers." She explained all she knows with extreme details.
"Whhaaattt!?? They are that strong? So it means my-... I mean Lily is transcendent too because she has sufficient intelligence and can also transform into human form. But the only contradiction is her bronze rank but. But I think she is still a transcended spirit beast and it only meant that she is way stronger than her peers." Kiann said that excitedly that even his eyes shines brightly.
"She should be. But in public, she could only stay and fight in cat's form and never transform into a human form until you are strong and can protect yourself and her.
"All right my dear!~" he whispered in her ears and prolong the word 'my dear' and blow her ears with his hot breath that it made Karina's face to blush.
"You two should stop bickering. Kiana let's spar for a bit tomorrow after your rest, we'll go to the central city a week later and we should prepare ourselves. We will then take the special exam for late enrollees to enter the academy." He motioned toward the two of them and stop the two from bickering like a kid then said his piece.
'I should familiarize myself with Lily and have some coordination with her when fighting. Luckily she is transcendent and is stronger than her peers. It is easier to make her strong because she can learn faster with her level of intelligence and I think we can have a good coordination when fighting because she can act what is good for the situation without even a command from me.'
Kiann's trained Lily in the forest and targeted some wild animals. He spends his time with that and now knew more. Lily is very agile and quick, she has a powerful and sharp claw too. After the training, Kiann went back home and spend his time there.
The next day...
"We'll just spar lightly to familiarize myself with Lily when fighting. We will be going now Mom, don't worry we won't injure each other!"
"Alright, brother let's spar! I won't injure you but I can't be sure to your summoned seductress if she's turned into a pulp because of her weakness, don't blame me then!" Kiana said that to Kiann then shot her gaze to Lily with fiery eyes.
"I should be the one saying that to you! You undeveloped little girl" Of course Lily won't retreat and she also shot a fiery gaze to her and both look at each other with fiery eyes and Kiann could only sighed, wondering why the two can't get along to each other.
"Mom we'll be going then. Muahh!~" Kiann sends a flying kiss toward her secretly and Karina also acts like she caught it and also send one back secretly.
.....
" I think this place is good enough, wide and devoid of people so they won't see our summoned spirits." Kiann and company went deep into the forest that is devoid of people. The two didn't care about some wild beast because they're only weak one's and they can take care of it easily with their level of strength unlike other residents of their town.
"Lily, you shouldn't release your sharp claws as to not injure my little sister. And you little sister control your magic power and don't cast anything sharp that can pierce someone like frost arrow or arrow vine. Remember! This is only a spar, no injuring each other and don't let your anger get over you and injure someone or else If one of you didn't obey what I said then receive their punishment. If it's you Lily then it's better if we break the pact then and if it isn't feasible then I won't summon you ever again. And you Kiana, if you didn't obey me then don't ever call me a big brother cause I don't want to have such disobedient little sister."
The two was stunned by his proclamations and his kind of punishment and both shiver as if it was the most severe punishment they could ever receive and think that it is better to die than receive it. Both nodded fiercely and suppressed their dissatisfaction toward each other and look at Kiann with pitiful eyes.
"Alright then. Let's start our first sparring along with my companion." Both distance themselves by a few meters to each other and Kiann got into his fighting stance while Kiana summoned her fairy and fox which shook Lily a little because of the fairy's appearance and her strength. While Kiana, upon looking at her expression smirked a little.
