"People are trying to kill you and I'm payed to not let that happen.", he said and picked her on his arms. "Where are you staying?"

"On the girl dorms."

"Do you share room?"

"Yes. Why?"

"You're going to spend sometime with me then.", he left running the infirmary and avoiding the bodies on the floor. "I acted like a punk. I'm thankful that my family expelled me."

"So it'll start to increase the amount as long I'm training? That's okay."

"What are you doing?", Aurora heard he talking alone on the bathroom.

"Trying to keep you alive, and you?"

She replied but was more like she was displeased with his treatment so he didn't understand it. Awoke she started to see the drawings on his bed. It was well made and looked like a good magical circuit to have but not enough for her, a Cardinal. Thanks to this she didn't try suicide tho.

"Are you feeling well?", he left the bathroom and touched her arm.

[You used Healing Touch without MP consumption. You have one more use.]

"Yeah.", she slapped his hand off but he did what he wanted already.

"You want something to eat?", he asked while getting his gym clothes.

"Not for now.", she looked at him. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going for a run. Want to come?", he replied and start returning to the bathroom.

"NO.", she said and put her face on the pillow just to remember that this was his room. So she rised like a rocket from it. "An ice book.", she looked over his pile of non read books.

"You transcended?", he asked from there.

"No.", she replied. "But don't mean that I won't train ice magic as well."

"You know the basics already?"

"Yeah. At home they teached all the way to intermediary.", she said. This girl was more knowledgeable than him if it was about magic itself.

"Why you won't have a familiar then?", he wanted to test this spell but didn't know why haven't seen much familiars on the school.

"I had one when learning magic but they are totally useless on combat as they are randomly chosen to you."

So what he needed was just luck to be chose by a strong familiar. He liked bets that didn't have much to lose. One question was tormenting him. So he let it out.

"What happened to the familiar?"

"Of course I killed it.", she replied.

"Why?"

"Because you can't have more than one familiar but they don't pick you after you do this. So I won't have another familiar.", she replied without taking her eyes from the book.

"So why did you use the spell?"

"Actually I was informed by my family to use when stronger but I wanted a pet so."

He wanted a familiar but with this information he was a little worried. Maybe was better wait to be a little stronger and then use the spell. But why a spell that uses so little MP and is on the basics of magic would be used a Advanced spell. He should use it and bear the consequences.

"I'm going."

"Yeah, yeah.", she didn't give a shit about it.

Then he left. Starting with the run. The amount of every objective had doubled but wasn't that of a change yet. So he was pretty fast to adapt and nothing was harder than the expected. Beyond that his body was already another from when he started doing this a week ago.

Before returning to his room. He found a good place with grass around and a little far from the movement. Without a chalk he made the circle on the grass by removing with a finger. To finish he started to pour his magic into it. All his foundations started to react to it. So the circle sucked his hand as a black hole and his mind left his body.

"Where am I?"

You are between the Dream and the Material.|

"What is this on my mind?"

I'm the being that reigns over the creatures that lives here.|

"I want to summon a familiar."

You know how the selection works?|

"Yes."

So wake that your familiar is waiting for you on the Material already.|

His mind returned. The circle disappeared. Licking his hand was a little black wolf with tiny wings and white marks like stars.

"Oh my god. You so fluffy.", he got it on his hand and rubbed against his face. "Your name will be Ferdy."

[Familiar tab was created and famliar list was added to it.]

[Ferdy was added to your familiar list.]

[Ferdy Wright]

[Celestial Night Wolf]

[Level 1]

[Exp: 0/5]

[Strength: 10]

[Agility: 12]

[Stamina: 11]

[Intelligence: 11]

[Charisma: 14]

[Power: 8]

[Prana 20]

"So I can have more than one familiar.", he said. "Killing just make the contractor mad and cut the connection to that place.", he turned to his familiar and rubbed his face against him again. "Isn't that right?", he looked again on Ferdy's stats. "This little guy is stronger than an average human already."

So he returned with a little of food. The wolf jumped on the girl. She looked dumbfolded as the boy did conjure a familiar after her speech. But he was so cute that she couldn't tell that he did a bad thing throwing away a opportunity for a better familiar.

"I'm putting on the fridge. Make sure to heat if you want to eat. The microwave is there.", he pointed.

"Okay.", she said while toying with the familiar.

He had eleven points waiting for his decision but first he was going to meditate and take a shower. He exhausted his magic and took the water on the head. There he was a little more confortable as the dorms were the true neutral site on the campus. A fight there was expulsion even if you did nothing but was on the scene.

"Ferdy.", he called the familiar. The wolf went flying to open the door to enter and closing it was heard howling while taking a shower with his master.
