The Cat and the Girl (4-in-1)

In the blink of an eye, a new year arrived.

The Academy Island, Bloodline Arcane Beast Testing Ground.

Roy and Professor Cletura, a wizard from the Bloodline School, strolled through the grounds, negotiating as they walked.

Each of them held a dog leash, walking several enormous, fierce-looking hounds.

"These demonic hounds have undergone breed improvement, greatly increasing their obedience. I can't believe they can be led around so easily.

"At the same time, they've perfectly retained the aggressive factor in their Demon Bloodline. Their Combat Power hasn't decreased—in fact, it's increased. They truly are an outstanding new breed!"

The disadvantage was that they were difficult to control. When their tempers flared, they might even turn on their own masters.

What Roy was discussing with Professor Cletura was precisely a partnership involving this type of arcane beast.

"The new breed's physical body while alive belongs to your Bloodline Wizards. After death, its soul will be guided to Kennel Kaleni...

"And become our Filth-Earth Demonic Hounds!

"The development costs will be split between both sides. I'll also provide you with some necessary support to help you lead the project..."

But for the development of the School, their value was immense.

Not long afterward.

Roy bid farewell to Professor Cletura and returned to his beach castle.

"Master, Ilena has sent another communication request.
