Savra and Magnus were still shocked after seeing the stats of the Lava Tortoise on the screen. It was because its stats were all marked as D-Tier.
Lucius, who looked at them, was confused after seeing their shocked expression. "What's wrong with it?"
Magnus then looked at Lucius and said, "What's wrong with it? How can the stats all be D-Tier?"
Magnus then said again as he thought, "I remember clearly that before the evolution, my Lava Turtle had 2-Star E and F-Tier stats, but now all of them were 3-Star and also D-Tier."
Lucius was still confused and curious about what the problem was. "Isn't that a good thing? If all the stats improved, what's the issue?"
Savra, who saw the confused Lucius, began to explain it to him: "Lucius, you don't understand. From what we know, a beast's stats didn't rise so suddenly. Usually, only one or two stats were raised by one tier and the rest were only increased by one level."
Savra then pointed at the Lava Tortoise and said, "But this Lava Tortoise... every single stat increased by a level like usual but three of its stats had been raised by two tiers and the rest by one tier."
Lucius, who was still confused, then asked again, "And? Isn't that what evolution is supposed to do? Improve the beast?"
Savra could only say to him again, "Lucius, evolution is usually a careful process. We've always believed it has limits to what it can achieve without harming the beast. What you've done goes beyond what any Evolist we know."
Lucius, who heard what Savra had just said, immediately said, "Of course it is. That's because this isn't what you'd call a weak evolution."
Magnus, who was still shocked on the side after looking at the stat, could only be silent as the truth was already there. He could only sigh, as Lucius was really better than any Evolists that he knew.
Savra, who had seen the result, immediately smiled and asked Lucius, "Lucius, you have really passed my test and also it has surpassed my expectations."
Savra then suddenly walked toward Lucius and offered him something: "Lucius, I'd like to make you an offer. Would you consider joining the Volcaria family?"
Lucius smirked upon hearing it and immediately said, "Joining a powerful family with influence and resources? Sounds like a tempting offer."
Lucius then immediately said something before joining: "But, if I were to join, I'd have a few conditions. After all, geniuses like me don't come cheap.
Magnus, who heard it, was a bit surprised and also a bit frustated hearing his words. "He really doesn't hold back, does he?
Savra only chuckled upon hearing it and said, "Fair enough, but before we discuss your conditions, let me tell you what I have in mind. As the matriarch of the Volcaria family, I am offering you the position of an elder in our family.
Lucius, who heard what position he would be in when joining, immediately became interested. "Elder, huh? It sounds good but I need to know how good this position will be and also what its responsibility is."
Savra smirked upon hearing what Lucius said and began to explain it: "The Elder position is a really good one, as its authority is second only to the patriarch and myself."
Savra then began to explain its' responsibility: "You also will oversee a new division that i will be creating because of you and it is the Beast Division. Its sole purpose will mainly about managing our family beasts."
Magnus, who just realized what Lucius will be when entering his family, immediately asked Savra, "Mother, are you sure that he will be an elder just like that? He's still too young!"
Savra then turned to Magnus and said to him. "I know what you meant but still, he had proved that he is a genius and the fact has been put out for us to see."
Savra also then told him the face and teased him a bit, "Age is not a matter for talent and also you could learn something from him, Magnus."
Magnus could only sigh after hearing what his mother said and stepped back a bit while lowering his head.
Lucius onlu laughed upon seeing them and then added more teases to him, "An elder, huh? Not bad. And you say I'll be second only to you and the patriarch? So does that mean I am in a higher position than him?"
Savra immediately laughed also upon hearing what Lucius said, "That's correct. Your position will be higher than my son. In fact, you can even be a new young master, seeing that you are still young and a genius."
Magnus, who heard it, immediately went to Lucius and bowed down, "Elder Lucius, I apologize for doubting you earlier. Please forgive my rudeness."
Lucius, who saw the changed Magnus, immediately smirked, "Oh? That was quick. Well, since it's your first offense, I'll let it slide. But if you ever question my abilities again, don't expect me to evolve your beast."
Magnus, who heard it immediately, stood up and nodded. "Understand, Elder Lucius. I won't make the same mistake again."
Savra, who heard and saw their conversation, could only chuckle and say, "Lucius, you've managed to do what most couldn't and that is to put Magnus in his place. That alone earns my respect. Let me say it again, Lucius: welcome to the Volcaria family."
Lucius only smiled upon being welcomed and said, "Happy to be here. Now let's discuss those conditions I mentioned. After all, a genius like me needs proper rewards."
Savra only chuckled upon hearing it, "I see, then let's discuss those conditions, should we?" said Savra as they both began to become a bit serious.
Magnus, on the other hand, could only stand a bit far from them to see what the conditions were that Lucius would ask from them, as he was not the one who was in discussion.
