'' Hey, can I use appraisal? ''
<I suppose but...> (Devouring monster)
'' Will I die? ''
'' Doing it then ''
I try to appraise myself and information starts to flood my mind.

While trying to read I notice that something is kind of odd... I can''t move my body and as a result, I fall to the ground.
<Thankfully you listened to my warning when I tried to tell you that you would most likely enter a semi-hibernating state as a side effect from using appraisal.> (Devouring monster)
'' I''ll use this time to read that info again then. I don''t have anything to lose from that now. ''
I read the appraisal a few more times and come to a conclusion...
'' What the fuck is wrong with this?! I didn''t know I had so much physical damage resistance! I didn''t even know I had magical resistance! Since when do I have greater magic talent and greater magic potential! And what''s wrong with that title?! ''
<One thing at a time, please... God damn it... So, everything that you have under "special" is what you were born with or that was created from something that was already in that "special". Do I really need to explain the titles?> (Devouring monster)
'' Yes. I can''t get any detail yet do I? ''
<I guess you have a point... "The chosen" is a title that meddles with your fate, I don''t know much more. "Betrayed one" is an effectless tittle. It might turn into something in the future but for now, it''s just nothing. "Deadman" is a title that increases your survivability. That''s why you have those defensive skills at a decent level. "Non-human Human" is a title that allows you to break free of your human limitations as long as another living creature is able of doing such a thing. "Dragon slayer" is a title that makes your aura seem intimidating for dragons. The more you kill the more that effect will grow. "Dragon castrator"... The dragons instinctively protect their genitals if you charge in. I hate to say this but this might be the best title you have. > (Devouring monster)
'' What about those other two? ''
<Don''t know much about them... I only know that one of them has something to do with royalty and the other one has to do with death... That gave an idea...> (Devouring monster)
'' Wow... that''s... Awesome? Well, I better get ready and go meet with Noemi. Today I''m going to learn a new magic spell with her again. ''
I get ready and head to her class.
?Hey Jim! Is everything alright? You look kind of pale..?? (Noemi)
?Yes, I''m alright... Just stop appearing from out of nowhere, please...? (Me)
'' She keeps scaring me like this... What are her stats?! I can never sense her presence which is weird... ''
<I''m busy so I''m not trying to appraise her again.>If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
'' Seriously?! ''
We arrive at the field and the teacher''s shirt gets drenched in his sweat instantly.
?S-s-s-so... T-t-today w-w-we''ll learn t-t-this spell...? (Pigman Teacher)
The teacher gives a sheet of paper to every student while trembling, except to me and Noemi.
?Why do we not have one as well?!? (Noemi)
The teacher jumps and moves a few steps back. He then slowly and reluctantly approaches us and gives us an old looking piece of torn paper each, before running away to the other student''s side. We look at each other and start reading the paper.
?So we are using a harder spell?? (Me)
?N-n-no... T-the p-p-princ-cipal t-told m-me...?(Pigman Teacher)
?I told him to have you two summon a beast. Seems like he didn''t know you two were geniuses and is now incredibly nervous. The pieces of paper you have are the instructions to the magic circle. After that just drop a bit of blood on it and imagine the most loyal thing you could possibly have as a pet. Then, voila! Your Familiar will appear and automatically for a contract with you. Convenient am I right?? (Principal)
The principal comes from out of a building and explains what the teacher couldn''t.
?Are they getting a familiar already? So lucky... ? (Student A)
?They are geniuses so I guess it''s just normal...? (Student B)
?Why is it always them...? (Student C)
'' Look''s like we''ll be getting really famous really fast. ''
?Okay, I''m bored of waiting I''ll make that damn circles for you. Just put your blood in it and do the thing and get it over with.? (Principal)
The principal stomps his foot and two large circles appear on the ground right behind him.
Noemi walks forward and takes out a small knife.
'' Was that space magic?! Where did that knife come from?! ''
She lightly cuts the tip of her finger and a single drop of blood fall to the center of the circle, takes a few steps back, sits down and closes her eyes. An intense dark red light starts overflowing from the circle. A shadow then starts rising from the center of it. Dark, thick horns appear and after almost ten minutes, the familiar is fully out. It''s a Ram. A dark Ram with an ominous aura that could take two persons on it''s back. He looked at Noemi, lay down and bowed its head.
?I''ll name you "Despair" ? (Noemi)
They seem to talk telepathically a for a while and then Despair disappears in a cloud of darkness.
?A ram huh? That''s actually the first time I''ve seen anyone summoning a ram. Then again, I usually only watch the geniuses'' summonings so I''ve basically only seen the summoning of dragons, angels and the likes. Now, Jim. Go for it.? (Principal)
?You''ll get a really good familiar! I know you will! ? (Noemi)
?Hopefully.? (Me)
I approach the circle and I slightly cut the tip of my finger by making a sharp blade on my gauntlet. A few drops fall into the magic circle as I step back. I then imagine the most loyal dog, one that would never leave my side and would be waiting for me even if I would never come back. Bright dark lights come out of the circle and, this time, as a small fox suddenly appears on it.
?I guess his familiar won''t have an epic entrance as well... ?
The small fox climbs to my shoulder and rubs its obsidian-like fur on my face.
'' I have to say... You might not look strong but you are incredibly adorable. ''
<Thanks for the compliment, Master!> (???)
A female voice sounds inside of my head.
'' I guess the contract does this as well... Really convenient. ''
?IT''S SO CUTE!? (Noemi)
Noemi''s eyes are shining while looking at the fox. The fox seems to also be smiling.
'' I still need to name him something... and yes... it''s a him. ''
?I''ll call you Kit.?
<Wonderful name, Master!> (Kit)
?Now I guess you all can go on with your class. I''m heading back.?
The principal takes a few steps and then stops. He just stays like that.
?C-can I touch it?? (Female Students A-F)
All the girls in the class approach me in the hopes of petting my familiar Kit.
?L-let''s go...? (Female student A)
?This is getting dangerous...? (Female student B)
Noemi is scaring all the girls off with her intense stare. Some students even
?I think you might have saved us... We would have most likely drowned in there if it went on...? (Me)
?No problem! I need to protect my lover as well right?? (Noemi)
?So the humans are at it again... Understood. ? (Principal)
I didn''t hear anything from what the principal said other than that.
?Why the are you making such a face..?? (Noemi)
?Nothing... ? (Me)
'' How does she even know my face if I''m wearing a mask...? ''
The principal looks at me and then keeps walking into the building.
