I had been inept in my previous life.
Which had made it impossible for me to even dream of having a Familiar. As wandering souls with Egos, they all needed a place to call home. Without a Mana Core, a person was not qualified to house even the lowest of Familiars.
That was the reality of my time back then, though.
In modern times, even those without Mana Cores possessed Familiars. Among the Scholars registered within Ainzlark, even those in my class, some of them didn't have Mana Cores and were Inept.
However, thanks to my accomplishments in the past, there was really no discrimination against Inept Scholars since I proved that even without the use of Mana, a person could revolutionalize Magic.
As a result, the Academy accepted Inept students in the Scholar Department alone.
'The Familiar Selection Ceremony is compulsory for everyone, even the Inept Scholars. Modern Magic has made a way for those without Mana to form Bond contracts.'
And I knew what the solution was.
