Interspecies Training Manual

Irena lowered her head and let her tail hang limply.

She knew this request was unreasonable and was mentally prepared to be rejected.

Luo An simply looked at the catgirl in front of him without immediately expressing his opinion.

Cat people are one of the most popular types of beastmen, so their prices are naturally not low.

The last time he went to the slave market, he saw a catgirl being traded.

The price is as high as 300 gold coins.

"I understand, I'll go check out the slave market."

Luo An granted Elena's request.

"Thank you, Master!"

The cat-eared girl was so excited she almost jumped up, her tail wagging back and forth.

At that very moment, a message appeared before Luo An's eyes.

Trust level +10%

Just by agreeing, the trust level increased by 10%?

Luo An was startled.

If she were to bring back her beloved older sister, this cat-eared girl, who still harbors anxieties, would likely completely let down her guard.

And trust levels will definitely skyrocket.

Luo An couldn't help but think that way.

"Don't get too excited yet; whether you'll meet her or not depends on luck."

"If your sister has already been bought, or is not in the slave market, there's nothing I can do."

There are some things Luo An still needs to say upfront.

Irena has been brought back for some time now, and who knows if those slave traders have sold her sister off.

"I...I understand."

Irene lowered her eyes, her mood becoming depressed at the thought of this possibility.

But she still held onto hope.

"Master, my sister's name is Freya, and she looks a lot like me."

"She's just a little taller than me, and she has a small beauty mark under her left eye, and..."

Elena said a lot, describing all of her sister's characteristics so that her master could have a better impression of her.

"I know."

Luo An patted her head and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. As long as I see your sister, I will definitely bring her back within my power."

After calming Elena down, Roan didn't linger any longer.

Celia had already quickly packed her luggage and hung it on the horse's back.

"Master, be careful on the road and come back soon."

Luo An smiled, bid farewell to the two, mounted his horse, and headed towards the main city.

......

The next day, the sun rose.

The streets in the main city gradually became more crowded.

Roan stepped out of an inn, heading straight for the Magic Guild located in the most bustling area of ​​the main city.

Upon entering the Magic Guild, the hall was spacious and bright, with many people, most of whom had come to ask a magician for help.

His appearance inevitably attracted the attention of many people, some with surprise and some with disdain, as if they were looking at something rare.

Luo An ignored the stares and walked toward the counter with a normal expression.

Behind the counter sat a young female mage in a blue robe, flipping through a magic book in her hands.

When she saw Luo An approaching, she merely glanced at him, her tone dismissive.

"Ordinary people? If you have any requests, go to the window next door to register and pay a deposit first."

Luo An revealed the purpose of his trip.

"I'm not here to post a commission; I'm here at the Magic Guild to become a magician."

The female mage paused, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

She looked Luo An up and down for a long time, then asked in surprise, "You... want to register as a magician? Do you know the requirements for registering as a magician?"

Those around them laughed when they heard this.

"This country bumpkin actually wants to become a magician?"

"What a joke! What kind of pipe dream does he have?"

Luo An had heard that magicians were all very arrogant.

After all, very few humans can become magicians, so they naturally possess an arrogance far exceeding that of ordinary people.

But this arrogance still made him a little unhappy.

He decided to shut up those mocking magicians and people in fancy robes.

A ball of silvery-white magical energy coalesced in Luo An's hand.

The magical energy within the sphere was very pure, without a single impurity, and it floated there quietly.

The laughter in the hall stopped abruptly.

The female mage's expression froze instantly as she stared at the ball of magical light, unable to utter a single word.

Condensing magic into a sphere is something any novice magician can do.

But compressing the magic to such a pure level, with no leakage of magic whatsoever, kept the sphere of light in a stable state...

Even she, a fourth-tier mage, found it difficult to do.

The other mages in the hall had long since lost their disdain and even reminded those around them seeking commissions not to laugh anymore.

"Um, you're going to take a magic power test, right?"

The female magician smiled awkwardly and quickly came around from behind the counter.

"Please come with me, I'll take you to the testing room right away, and we'll arrange it immediately."

"Thank you for your help."

Looking at the mage before her, Luo An realized that her previous attitude had actually been relatively friendly compared to those others.

That saying really applies.

Only those with sufficient strength can earn respect.

This is an eternal and unchanging truth.

......

Following the female mage to the front of the testing room, Roan entered the room.

Inside the testing room stands a transparent crystal pillar about half a person's height, a magical crystal used to test the concentration of magic power.

Sitting to the side was an old magician with gray hair and beard, the vice president of the Magic Guild.

"Lord Luke, this is Roan Bell, who has come to take a magic test."

After the female magician finished speaking, she respectfully left the room.

"Place your hand on it and unleash your magic."

Luke glanced at Roan and said casually.

Luo An did as instructed, placing his hand on the cool crystal surface.

He didn't unleash all his magic; instead, he restrained it, releasing only a portion of it.

He didn't come here to prove how powerful his magic was.

If it's too high, it might arouse suspicion from others.

In an instant, the originally dim crystal pillar lit up with a dazzling light, changing from transparent to white, and then to blue and purple.

Then, Luo An stopped.

"The magic concentration can reach purple, which is not bad."

Luke quite approved of the young man in front of him.

He's been with the Magic Guild for thirty years. At his age, reaching a purple level of magic power is quite an achievement, considering he can do it once a year.

"You have successfully passed the first round of assessment."

Luke stood up and led Roan into the adjacent combat training arena.

In the center stands a doll, its body engraved with magical patterns.

"This is a combat test dummy, specifically designed to test the skills of newcomers."

"The test rules are simple: if you defeat this puppet with magic, you will pass the test."

"We will award you a fifth-tier mage medal, making you a mage recognized by the Mage Guild."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luke's staff emitted a faint glow.

A stream of dark blue magic flowed into the magic core in the doll's chest.

A red light shone in the doll's eyes, and magic surged around it.

The moment Luo An stepped into the battle arena, the puppet moved.

Its right arm was imbued with magic, and its fist stirred up a gust of wind as it quickly arrived in front of Luo An.

Luo An dodged to the side, creating some distance between them.

He had assumed the puppet would use magic, but it turned out to be a fighting style.

Whoosh!

The magic power surged in the puppet's palm, condensing into a powerful wind blade that shot straight toward Luo An.

The wind blades were very fast, but Luo An didn't want to waste time, so he condensed an even larger wind blade and threw it out.

The large wind blade devoured the smaller wind blade and struck the doll's magical core.

The doll collapsed to the ground, its red eyes dimming.

That's how the battle ended.

Luke, standing to the side, watched the figures on the battlefield and nodded affirmatively.

This young man's proficiency with magic was nothing like that of a beginner.

"The assessment has been passed!"
