Xue Fang heard a knock at the door, and since he didn't lock it, the door slipped open as if the person was resting slightly on it.
"Brother Fang!"
Mei rushed and hugged him tightly, and immediately, Xue Fang felt guilty because of what he had put her through emotionally, he had gone on a suicide mission without telling her, everyone already called the unofficial examination a suicide mission due to the level of the venue.
"How is the exam?"
In the embrace, Mei looked up at Xue Fang, her eyes as clear as crystals, however, Xue Fang knew she was just trying to be courageous and avoid unnecessary drama, after all, he had survived the suicide mission.
"I was lucky"
Xue Fang beamed, "It seemed it was because of you, you are my lucky charm"
"I read that twenty percent of the entrants only survived"
'As expected, nothing can escape her, not to talk of such well-talked-about unofficial examination'
"Well, we are only thirty that came, and six did survive"
"Oh! Am so happy, I don't want to think of what I would do if you didn't survive"
Xue Fang felt it was about time he told Mei about his plan for her.
"Mei, do you wish to learn?"
Xue Fang gazed at her, trying to see how she would respond.
"What is with that sudden question?"
Mei was from the poorest region in the world, she was under the care of some old lady, helping her on her farm, but when she died, Mei moved to this locality and started working as a delivery person, however, through daily practice of reading articles in the newspaper, she has shown a promising future of learning.
Xue Fang thought she would be able to cope.
He didn't want to waste any privilege of a military student which included free sponsorship of a relative to any elite school.
"Well, among the privileges of being a Royal Bird military student is free sponsorship of a relative education, so I was thinking that...
But it depends on you"
Although Mei showed a promising future in learning, Xue Fang felt it was inappropriate to push this onto her.
For someone of her age, she might not be able to cope with academic work, after all, she had never been to school.
"Why are you crying, Mei"
Xue Fang was bewildered, he didn't expect what he said to make her cry.
Tears were streaming down her beautiful face, this made Xue Fang's heart heavy suddenly.
"Brother Fang, I was so happy that I couldn't hold back tears of joy"
Mei brushed off the tears of joy.
"Oh!, hmm-hmm, alright, we will go do some free shopping in Hunter's Mall later in the evening"
Xue Fang found something to say that would change the mood.
"Really? I have so many things to buy"
Mei jumped up in joy, this was probably the first time she would be taken out for shopping.
"Don't worry, everything in Hunter's Mall is free with this license, well, just to a certain level, you know I'm still a low-level hunter, so we might not be allowed to certain floors"
"I have a surprise"
Xue Fang smiled sheepishly at Mei, Mei was the type that hated being put on suspense so she jumped around Xue Fang happily and anxiously.
Xue Fang then summoned Silverline Cat, the small cute cat with its silvery fur was rubbing against Xue Fang's right leg.
"So cute!!" Mei rushed and picked it up within the blink of an eye, she hugged it, Xue Fang was really surprised, it was to be expected, aside from its silvery fur, it was also fluffy and cute, making it really nice to stroke that no one could resist it.
"Guess what, it has an ability called A Hundred transformation art, and night vision, the vision can be simulated.
I can't wait to check the transformations out" Xue Fang was so excited.
Mei looked at Xue Fang despicably.
"What did I do to deserve such a look!"
Xue Fang thought back to what he said and wondered if he had mistakenly said anything weird.
"Pervert!!.
You want to check if it could transform into a cute and gorgeous lady? And also naked?
I caught you!
I'm taking it away, don't you abuse it!!"
She hugged Silverline Cat tightly, clearly not letting it go
"Really? I can summon it back, do you know that?
And most of all, what do you think of me, a pervert? That is too cruel, I just want to know if it could transform into other ordinary creatures or magical creatures so that I can gauge its usefulness in battle"
Mei pouted, not saying a word.
"And one more thing"
Xue Fang willed something in his mind, and suddenly, a set of very sharp claws that glistened with a metallic luster shot out of Silverline Cat's lovely paws.
What made them truly terrifying was the sudden, precise manner in which they extended, their deadly edges contrasting starkly with the feline's otherwise innocent appearance.
The sheer menace they exuded caused a wave of dread to wash over Mei's body, so much so that she instinctively released the creature from her embrace, stepping back in alarm.
"Wow! That would come in handy, what sharpness!"
Xue Fang checked the metallic claws out, "Such length and it is still retractable"
Xue Fang was surprised, the length of the metallic claws would be at least four inches long, curving slightly downward in a menacing manner.
"What is this? Why are you so happy? Such cute cat extended such frightening weapon, you just spoil the cuteness"
Mei wailed like a child.
"Well, what did you expect? It is a battle pet, a battle companion which means it accompanies one to battle, that is its work, not some fluffy pet"
Mei shot Xue Fang a menacing look.
"However, I want to give you for your protection, when you become a student, I won't be able to protect you like before, so I will summon it when I need it and send it to you back, but that is till I get another battle pet, when I get another one, I will relinquish this one to you"
"Wow! Thanks, brother" Mei was so happy, she carried the cat and lifted it.
Xue Fang noticed Silverline Cat had already retracted the terrifyingly sharp metallic claw.
'Has the battle pet really entered a fluffy pet mode?'
