Magical Cat

An hour later.

Li En and Elaine slowly opened their eyes, their faces filled with satisfaction.

Elaine seemed a little unsatisfied, but this was already the limit her body could handle.

Meditation also requires energy, especially mental energy, so it is impossible to meditate continuously for a long time.

Today, being able to meditate at a high quality level for an hour straight has already broken Elaine's best record since she started learning magic.

Meditation may seem simple, but it is an important skill that can distinguish the talent of a magician.

Meditation has many benefits, the most important of which are increasing the upper limit of magic power, restoring magic power, and sensing the elements.

People with good talent can not only meditate for longer periods each day, but they are also much more efficient, achieving in the same way that others can do in several days.

Elaine was already quite talented, but the meditative state she had just experienced was something she had never experienced before.

After experiencing such high-quality meditation, I can never go back to the way things were before.

Elaine felt her mouth was dry and couldn't help but swallow. Then she picked up the little one in her arms and examined him closely.

Li En's condition wasn't much better at the moment. Her pink little tongue was sticking out and she couldn't retract it at all. Her big, bright eyes stared blankly into the void, looking like she was already broken.

He was just a newborn kitten; how could he have ever experienced something as comfortable as absorbing magic?

This completely changed his perception, and even caused some irreversible changes in his small body.

"So magic is such a comforting thing? Being a magical beast doesn't seem so bad."

As this thought surfaced, Li En's memories of his past became increasingly blurred.

"That shouldn't be the case. Newly born magical beasts don't have any support abilities. At this stage, I should be the one supplying them with magic power, and this little guy is also..."

Elaine muttered to herself, thinking about what had happened to Li En.

The abandonment of magical beasts is a rare occurrence in the academy.

Hatching magical beasts is not easy. Magical eggs are expensive, and the hatching process is very complicated, requiring a lot of effort and money.

But there are always people who want better magical beasts, and they are willing to go through such expensive trial and error.

Elaine also discovered this dying magical beast by chance and made a great effort to bring it back to save it.

Last night, she continuously channeled magic into the dying Li En, and when her magic was exhausted, she meditated to recover, remaining awake all night.

By morning, Li En still showed no signs of waking up. If it weren't for the trace of magic still remaining in Li En, Elaine would probably have given up.

She didn't have much hope before returning to her dormitory.

But now, not only has Li En come back to life, she has also demonstrated a rare ability that can assist her in meditation.

She felt that the sudden improvement in the quality of her meditation was probably related to Li En.

After all, the meditation I just had was vastly different from the meditation I had last night.

Such powerful support abilities are not even possessed by the rarest magical beasts.

Li En's original owner was Weber, Elaine's classmate.

Weber abandoned the magical beast because Li En's aptitude was too poor.

This matter has already spread throughout the academy; Elaine even saw Waver showing off his new magical beast today.

Elaine didn't know much about magical beasts either.

She was just a freshman, and no one in her family knew anything about magic.

Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Elaine was taken aback, not expecting to have a visitor, since she didn't have a single friend at the academy.

She placed Li En, whom she was holding, on the bed, and then went to open the door.

"Ms. Melina, what brings you here?"

Outside the door stood a tall, beautiful young female teacher, wearing a fitted light blue magic robe that accentuated her alluring curves, with her long, flowing black hair cascading down her back.

Melina smiled and asked in return, "Eleanor, won't you invite your teacher in for a seat?"

Melina's skin was as white as snow, and her smile was even more captivating, causing Elaine to blush and quickly step aside.

"Teacher, please come in."

Melina walked into Elaine's dormitory without ceremony and first looked her over.

When she saw that the dormitory was clean and tidy, she couldn't help but nod.

Elaine then pulled out a chair in front of the desk and invited Melina to sit down.

This was also the only chair in her room.

After Melina sat down, she saw Elaine standing awkwardly and said, "You sit down too, there's no need to be so formal."

Elaine was pulled by Melina to sit on the edge of the bed, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Melina is a teacher at the Royal Magic Academy. Although she has been taking good care of Elaine since the start of the semester, she still couldn't help but feel nervous when she was suddenly approached.

Not only because of Melina's status as a teacher, but also because...

Elaine couldn't help but look at Lee En, who was still lying on the bed looking completely broken.

Melina followed her gaze and saw Lee En, and couldn't help but frown.

"Elena, are you really going to adopt this magical beast that Webber abandoned?" Melina asked bluntly.

"Ms. Melina, is this something the academy doesn't allow? Or does Weber think I've encroached on his property?" Elaine asked nervously.

Melina shook her head: "No, you don't need to worry about that. Webber has long forgotten about the little guy and is showing off his Thunderhawk everywhere. There are no rules about this in the school regulations, but you should also understand the importance of magical beasts."

Hearing this answer, Elaine felt a sense of relief wash over her.

As long as it's not those aristocratic kids causing her trouble, and she hasn't broken any school rules, Elaine has nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing Elaine's reaction, Melina frowned and continued, "Elaine, I know you're worried about the cost. It's not easy to support a magical beast, but for a mage, a magical beast is extremely important, and can even determine your future potential. Don't waste your talent just because you're reluctant to spend money."

Elaine was about to speak, but Melina stopped her by raising her hand.

"Don't worry about money, your teacher will sponsor you. I know the academy's sponsorship is only enough to hatch magical beasts, not enough for their continued upkeep, but I can help you with that."

Elaine lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but finally shook her head firmly.

"Ms. Melina, I know you mean well, but I really like this little guy."

"I've made up my mind, this is my magical beast!"

Melina sighed and shook her head at Elaine's decision.

She had already seen Li En when she came in; her poor appearance was obvious at a glance.

Otherwise, Weber wouldn't have given up so readily.

After all, hatching magical beasts is not an easy price for wealthy noble families to pay, and there's no guarantee that the next one will be even better.

But this time, Weber was lucky. The newly hatched magical beast was a Thunderhawk with perfect attributes and excellent appearance. He got incredibly lucky.

Moreover, she talked with Elaine for a long time, but Lee En didn't react at all, which clearly showed that not only was he of poor appearance, but his intelligence was also not very high.

Therefore, Melina could only shake her head and sigh at Elaine's choice.

But Melina also knew very well that people don't listen to advice, and she was only there today to give Elaine another option.

That's enough. There's no point in trying to persuade them further.

"I've changed my mind. You can come find me anytime. My promise is always valid."

"One last piece of advice: the chances of saving this abandoned magical beast are slim. Even if you do manage to save it, you might be burdened with its fate for the rest of your life."

After saying this, Melina got up to leave. Elaine saw her to the door and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, why are you so good to me?"

Melina's promise was worth a lot of money, and she had taken good care of Elaine since the start of the school year, which puzzled Elaine.

"First of all, you have great talent, and I don't want you to take the wrong path."

Melina said this very seriously.

Then, she smiled gently:

"Secondly, I was also a student sponsored by ordinary citizens in the past."

After saying that, Melina walked out, turned her back to Elaine, waved goodbye, and left.

Elaine stood there, stunned, her face filled with undisguised surprise.

She never imagined that the usually elegant and dignified teacher Melina was from a commoner background, just like her.

In the prestigious Royal Magic Academy of the Kingdom of Marches, the students are all of noble birth, and commoners are the outcasts.

After all, in everyone's perception, magical talent is a privilege reserved for noblemen.

Commoners who want to learn magic can only hope that some vague and elusive good fortune will befall them.
