"Then... it's a deal!" Vopor said, brimming with excitement. He couldn't believe how deciding to go to the Adventurers Guild and meeting Vincent would change his life for the better. Vopor can now go to the Lusterfall Noble Academy without any worries on his mind. Additionally, he thinks that he should be above his peers because they most likely will not have nor bring a familiarity with them. 'I will be able to make the Sunrise family name proud.' He proudly thought about earning fame to the Sunrise family and make his father proud. *Woof, woof* Lupa, "He told you to hurry up. He wants to eat more food." Vopor nodded and placed his hand on the gray wolf's chest. A bright light gradually shone as if magic from Vopor's hand was being injected into the gray wolf. A moment later, both Vopor's and the gray wolf's eyes glowed. "I name you Cyke. " Vopor announced. [Name] Cyke [Race] Gray Wolf [Age] 14 [Condition] Healthy [Core] Tamed Wind Core [Stats] Strength 16 || Agility 30 || Perception 33 || Mana 55 [Awakened Wind Core] *Wind Ball *Wind Manipulation [This gray wolf has become much stronger than Plow. However, Plow is a growth type, unlike this gray wolf.] -I agree. Maybe in about a few months, Plow should become stronger than Cyke with the mutation skills she inherited from both my bloods.- Vincent and Kazumi agreed after he used Inspection on Cyke to check the stats and the difference between a Blood and Mana Bond Contract. Like Vincent, Plow needed time... needed costly and nutritious food to become stronger. [Promised Quest: Help Vopor Sunrise tame a familiar Completed] [Rewards] *1x 40 silver coins *Reputation - Sunrise Family +20 *Reputation - Vopor Sunrise +60 *Reputation - Byron Sunrise +40 *Reputation - Leonis Lionheart +30 *Reputation - Bella Lionheart +5 *Reputation - Lionheart Family +10 [Reputation Threshold Reached Notice] [Reputation with Vopor Sunrise has reached over 50 points. The individual considers the user as friendly and on good terms. Current points are 80 (60 individual + 20 family)] [Reputation with Byron Sunrise has reached over 50 points. The individual considers the user as friendly and on good terms. Current points are 60 (40 individual + 20 family)] A window with the Promised Quest rewards soon appeared with extra reputation rewards based on how Vincent decided to handle the situation. Marquis Bryon Sunrise got a ten-point increase, and as the Soul System informed, Byron and Vincent now became on friendly terms similar to Vopor's case. Additionally, Vincent not only managed to gain a few friendly reputation points with Baron Leonis Lionheart but a person he never met before also awarded him some friendly reputation points for what he did. The name seemed to be of a woman. She might be the wife or daughter of Leonis. [Why don't you look at that. We became friends with a Marquis family and almost with a Baron family. But... hmm... it seems the Promised Quest updated at the last second since we didn't see a quest update notification.] -Could it be that Leonis talked to this Bella person and Vopor tamed Cyke at the same time?- [I guess it might be as you assume.] Maids, "Congratulations, young lord." Butler, "Congratulations, young lord." The butler and maids congratulated Vopor with a wide smile. They seemed genuinely happy for the success of their young lord. Vopor stood up and said, "Thank you, but I will inform my father myself. Could you prepare a quick launch, even if it's a little early?" "Most certainly, young lord." The butler said. Then he and all the maids but one left to prepare. "Vincent, I managed to do it all thanks to you. The taming process is complete, but my father told me how it takes between half a day to a full day for the familiar to change their body to an awakened one. But you might not know since your blue fox changed in less than ten minutes. I was quite surprised, and mostly because your familiar doesn't have a pattern on their fur." Vopor informed. He explained how the mutation awakened Plow's body much quicker than expected. [In our case, Plow's eye color changed to green. Maybe her eye color changed instead of having a pattern. But it intrigues me to see Plow with a small cute pattern on its blue fur. I wonder how she would look, hehe.] "I believe my familiar changed her eye color instead to green instead of a gaining a pattern on its fur. " Vincent answered from Kazumi's assumption. Then he looked at Cyke to check if there was a minuscule change. But he couldn't notice anything. "So, what change should Cyke have?" Vincent curiously asked. "I don't think the eye color should change like yours nor the fur color or size. My father's familiar is of the same size and color as a normal Prego Bird, and it has a pattern similar to what Magical Beasts have. So, when a pattern appears on the gray fur, the awakening would be complete." Vopor explained. "My lord, your gray wolf looks cool." Lenn complemented. "My lord, I totally agree with my brother. I want a cool-looking familiar one day." Renn added with a thumbs up. Vopor slightly blushed by the compliments. Shortly, the butler returned and asked for young lord Vopor Sunrise and the guests to follow him into the dining hall. *Sunrise Mansion Dining Hall* "Please, eat how you want to. It's a celebration and not a formal lunch." Vopor noticed how Lenn, Renn, and Tula looked uncomfortable at the posh cutlery and the fancy starter plate. "You heard the young lord of his mansion, eat how you want to. Munch, slurp, and smear your mouth with sauce. Anything goes." Vincent raised his starter soup and slurped until none was left. "Ahh, that hit the spot." He continued, showing how they can let loose. [This teacher is shameless. Just look at how the maids are staring at you and worryingly glancing at Vopor. I think they don't like it that much.] However, as Kazumi was analyzing the situation like always, Vopor raised his plate, and similar to Vincent, he loudly slurped the soup with a smile. "Young lord!" The maids serving them murmured. *Woof, woof!* "I know, Cyke. The meat will be served next." Vopor answered Cyke. They were now able to communicate via telepathy, similar to Vincent and Lupa in the white wolf form. Time gradually passed, and plates entered full one and left empty after the other. The two familiars in the room ate until their bellies were stuffed full with meat. The little blue fox looked cutely plump, and the gray wolf was resting on the floor as if exhausted from eating. Both fox and wolf enjoyed the lunch feast a bit too much. Vincent became happy with Plow's appetite because it means more stats. As for the people eating, the twins ate the best meal in their entire life while Tula smiled with every bite. Ester and Lupa enjoyed the meal since the lord of the house wasn't attending. They didn't need to mind offending a noble. On the other hand, Vincent ate with a knife and a fork as it was a thing he used to do on Earth. The previous Vincent, who slurped the soup, didn't exist anymore as he cut the food into small pieces and ate with good manners. "The butler should have prepared the reward by now. He will bring it before you leave. Furthermore, could I visit you if I'm allowed to go to the middle or lower district before going to the Lusterfall Noble Academy?" Vopor asked. "Yes, sure, but I might not always be there since I'm temporarily staying there. I might find a small place to rent or go out for a quest." Vincent answered. With the money reward, he believes that paying rent for a month or two shouldn't prove to be a problem. "I hope I will meet you then, considering the academy starts next month." Vopor hoped to meet Vincent one last time before getting locked in the academy for six months. *Sunrise Mansion Entrance* "Sir, here is the reward. You may count if you want." The butler gave Vincent a small bag full of coins. "No need. I trust the Sunrise family." Vincent said while accepting the money. [1x Small Bag (Common Quality) (40x Silver Coins) gained.] Vincent stored the bag of coins and took the last trip in the luxurious carriage after saying his goodbyes. "Young lord, you look happy. I'm glad you feel this way." The butler mentioned. "Yep, I made a second-best friend. I hope I can see Vincent again. Maybe he can give me some courtship lessons, hehe." Vopor joked. "But young lord is already engaged. Has the young lord forgotten about the document of engagement signed a year ago? Furthermore, the young lord and the young lady of the Bassrise family have been booked to attend the same class." The butler reminded Vopor. Vopor looked at his butler and smirked, "Ohh, I forgot about her since I never met her, hehe." "Young lord..." The butler stared at Vopor to see if he actually forgot his fiancee over taming a familiar. However, after a few more seconds, the butler deemed Vopor indeed didn't seem to prioritize the political engagement and a young lady he never saw before. *Luxurious carriage traveling towards Tula's family house* While traveling inside the comfy luxurious carriage, Vincent mentioned a subject that raised a small commotion. Tula frowned and complained, "No! Big brother can't leave me! I want to stay with big sisters and Plow too!"
