Visiting

Grammar University.

As winter approached in the year 279 of the Federation Calendar, temperatures continued to drop.

Sulu, wearing a white shirt and a black jacket, waited at the school gate.

Looking at the spacious square and bright classrooms inside, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

After university... my life trajectory suddenly veered off into an unknown, confusing maze...

His good looks immediately attracted the attention of many female students, some of whom even boldly approached him to ask for his name and contact information.

Sulu refused them all and waited quietly.

"Sean!"

About twenty minutes later, four people came over.

They were James, John, and Elizabeth and Diana.

"Hello, thank you again for your help... wait, where's Isaac?"

Sulu came to express his gratitude and repay the money. To be honest, Isaac was the wealthiest among the five, and he took the initiative to pay for many things.

"Isaac... he's not doing well lately. If you hadn't come today, we were just about to go visit him!"

Elizabeth and Diana exchanged a glance and replied with a wry smile.

"What happened to him?" Sulu asked with concern.

"It's that dog again... Harlock!"

Upon hearing this, James and John displayed expressions of both confusion and embarrassment.

Isaac didn't live on campus; instead, he rented an apartment near the Grammar University.

Ring ring ring!

Elizabeth stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

A few minutes later, the wooden door finally opened, revealing Isaac's haggard face. "You've come?"

"It's not just us, Sean came to visit you too." Diana and James stepped aside, revealing Sulu behind them.

"Oh! Sean, you're finally here! Come in!"

For the first time, excitement appeared on Isaac's face as he opened the door.

"This place... is really..."

Isaac lived alone in the apartment. The floor was covered with dirty clothes and sheets, littered with meat bones, and reeked of dog odor.

"What happened?"

The two ladies frowned. "I remember Isaac, you're usually very clean?"

"Well..."

Isaac scratched his messy hair, his eyes bloodshot. "I'm sorry... I still have something to hide from you all... Actually... Harlock is driving me crazy!"

He sat down by himself, poured himself a glass of strong liquor, and gulped it down, as if it gave him courage. "Harlock... oh... it's a nightmare!"

"Don't rush, speak slowly..."

Sulu roughly guessed that if the destructive power of an ordinary Erha is terrifying, then the destructive power of Erha that has mastered extraordinary power may be catastrophic!

He had previously thought that Harlock wasn't inherently bad, and that he got along well with Isaac, so he should be able to control him.

But it still seems a bit of a stretch now.

"You know... Harlock is very mischievous, and even more so since he became less ordinary... making him increasingly unbearable..."

Isaac held his head in his hands. "Can you imagine me being hypnotized by it every day, cleaning its poop, handling meat bones, or even doing other things?"

His eyes were somewhat dazed and fearful.

"But...isn't this how it is when you keep dogs as pets? We don't see anything wrong with it," Elizabeth said, exchanging a glance with Diana.

"But... Harlock is a dog; he doesn't act like a human, he only commands me to act like a dog..."

Isaac looked like he was about to cry.

James and John were stunned, while Elizabeth and Diana lowered their heads, blushing slightly.

"Can you imagine? I feel like I've become a dog's servant. It's my master, and I can't disobey any of its commands..."

Suddenly, tears streamed down Isaac's face. He cried very sadly, as if he had experienced something extremely painful.

Sulu seemed to have thought of something, and quickly rubbed his face, trying to keep it expressionless.

"My God... that was a nightmare!"

Isaac covered his face. "I used to think that owning a supernatural being was something to be proud of... But now, all I want is to sell it or get rid of it... But I can't! Because it always finds its way back, and when I try to sell it, it turns around and controls me..."

"Yes... we understand, we understand your pain!"

James and John exchanged a glance, swallowed hard, and never mentioned buying Harlock again.

At the same time, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.

"Sean... do you have any ideas?"

Elizabeth suddenly looked at Sulu and asked in a questioning tone.

Isaac quickly looked at Sulu expectantly as well.

After all, the other party is someone who has mastered mysterious incantations.

"Well..."

Sulu hesitated, "You know... even in the extraordinary world, in a master-servant relationship, if the servant's strength far surpasses that of the master, problems can easily arise."

Yes, it's like my own Corpse Princess.

"So... there's no other way?"

Isaac's eyes were vacant; he was almost like a walking corpse.

"There is a way..."

Sulu coughed. "The key issue right now is that you don't have the strength to suppress Harlock... So, things might get a little better if you can become a superhuman."

Of course, only a little bit.

Even when signing Master-Servant Pact, the master should ideally be about one rank higher than the servant to maintain control.

For ordinary people, advancing to the first level of extraordinary and then to the second level of elite is not something that can be done overnight. It requires a lot of time for training and learning, and there is no guarantee of success!

"Then... would you be willing to teach me? I really can't learn that language..."

Isaac looked at Sulu.

"To become a superhuman, you don't necessarily need to learn that incantation. There are other paths... If you're willing, I know some secret circles that I can introduce you to..."

Sulu doesn't intend to pass on his own extraordinary profession, and the others aren't anything special—they're either [Demon Contractor] or [Necro-Spirit], which pose significant risks.

He decided that once he had made contact with the city's circle of extraordinary individuals, he would introduce Isaac into it.

"But... that will take time."

"It's okay, I can wait!" Isaac quickly assured everyone, amidst the envious glances of his classmates.

"Very good."

Sulu nodded. "I will let you know when the time is right."

"But... before that," Isaac said somewhat shyly, "Could I ask you for a favor? I'd like to have Harlock fostered with you for a while, or you could give him to me!"

He really didn't want to face that Erha alone again until he had enough power to protect himself.

"Alright... then let it stay with me."

Sulu stroked his chin and agreed.
