Lucius had now gotten off the bed and was already dressed by Luna. He then immediately invited Savra to sit down to talk.
Lucius then immediately began his question, "Later, I will go to the academy, so I want to know more about it. Specifically, what to expect, and also just how safe or dangerous it is."
Savra only smiled as he answered, "The academy, as you thought, is an academy but for an elite. It is the place where young nobles are trained but it is looser.
Lucius, who heard it, was confused but also curious. "Looser? What do you mean by looser, Lady Savra?"
Savra nodded as she began to explain. "All of the students are nobles and they don't like to be regulated so the academy is designed to fulfill their egos while still producing results."
Savra then explained more about the system: "Attendance isn't mandatory. Your progress is measured by your exams and practical accomplishments. As long as you perform well, no one cares whether you attend every lecture."
Lucius smirked as he was really amused, "How really accommodating for the academy to do that. No wonder; a lot of nobles are fools."
Savra only chuckled after hearing it. "It does but still, not all of them are fools. Many use that freedom to hone their power and speciality in secret, so they can act as a hidden tiger."
Savra then explained about the courses inside it. "The academy also offers two primary courses: the Beast Tamer Course and the Evolist Course."
Lucius then somewhat understood the situation and immediately asked, "I now know about the academy but still, how about the dangers? Surely a free place filled with fools was not really without its downside."
Savra immediately became serious as she explained. "You're right. The academy isn't just a place of learning but also a battleground of status and power."
Savra then explained more about the danger: "Many young arrogant nobles like to enjoy bullying other people for their entertainment."
Savra then also explained, about the degree of the bullying, "Because of it, fights between nobles are common, and injuries are often overlooked as long as they don't draw too much attention."
Lucius only smirked upon hearing it. "I see. As expected of nobles, as power reigns supreme. As long as you are powerful, no one dares to block you."
Savra nodded and soon comforted him. "Exactly, but don't you worry. You are now our family member and you have our name to shield you."
Savra then immediately smirked as she explained more. "No one would dare you bully you and if they dare, then they will need to prepare to face the consequences."
Lucius only chuckled hearing that. "Good to know. But let's say someone does cross me, someone foolish enough to provoke a fight. Can I... kill them?"
Savra remained clam as she explained, "No. Killing other nobles is forbidden unless it's a life-and-death duel. In any other circumstance, you can hurt them or humiliate them, but you must leave them alive or else."
Lucius frowned after hearing it, as he immediately said, "How... inconvenient? But still, no one will die in that academy, which really relieves me."
Savra smiled and reminded him. "Don't worry, as there is still a life-and-death duel where all bets are off. No one will care if you die or your opponent dies."
Lucius immediately smirked again after hearing it. "Thank you for your information, Lady Savra. It's always useful to know more."
Savra, who heard it, smiled as she began to walk to the door. "Of course, it is useful and also don't keep me waiting too long for those 2-Star beasts. Time is money, after all."
Lucius chuckled and smiled. "Don't you worry, Lady Savra. You'll have them before you know it."
With a nod, Savra immediately left the room, leaving Lucius alone with both of his slaves to do his next task.
Lucius went to the cages and began to see the flame foxes. They had red and warm fur. They were also quite nimble, seeing from their small bodies.
Lucius then smiled as he began to scan them first before evolving them, as he wanted to know their data first.

Lucius smiled as he acknowledged that the flame foxes were not too bad, seeing that they were just common beasts.
"Let's see what kind of beasts we should evolve you to. System, show me their evolution list." The system then showed Lucius their evolution list.
---
[Evolution Options for Flame Fox:]

[2-Star Ember Fox: 10.000 HP]

Lucius smiled upon seeing the list; he immediately decided what evolution chose. "These beasts will be sold later so we need to have the best one."
Lucius then turned to Luna and Liora and smirked. "Now, watch me carefully. I will show you why I am the best master for you two."
Luna immediately became excited as she clasped her hand. "Master, your power is unmatched. Please show us your power."
Liora, who heard it, also nodded as she was curious about Lucius' power. "I am eager to know it, too so please show me why you are the best for us."
Lucius only chuckled as he turned to look at the 1-Star Flame Foxes that didn't know about what would happen to them later.
Lucius only smirked as he turned to the system. "System, hack their memories of this evolution process to be gone once it's complete."
Lucius also ordered the system to launch which evolution path Lucius wanted: "Use the second evolution path to evolve them all into 2-Star Ember Foxes."

Luna and Liora, who had been standing nearby, were surprised by the sudden changes in the room when Lucius showed off his power.
