"Half our work is done," Maya said with a satisfied smile while nodding her head. "Now we just need to sign the contract." She handed Myne the parchment and a small kitchen knife.
"Why the knife?" Myne asked, confused. He understood the purpose of the parchment, but the knife was a mystery.
"How else are you planning to sign the contract then? Don't you know that most magic contracts are signed with blood or a magic imprint? Since you didn't even know the basics of magic, let alone how to leave your imprint on it, then naturally you have to sign it with your blood," Maya replied sarcastically, her eyes narrowing, and giving Myne a look as if he were the stupidest person she had ever seen in her entire life.
