Aaron noticed the points that erged. Instinctively, he jumped over it, leaving the chaotic scene he made. He took the points then another update happened to Ellena's status.
'Wait, does this an that Ellena leveled up?!'
As soon he received the sign or the feeling of being updated, he headed to Ellena which was just feet away from him.
"You wouldn't believe what just happened. You level up!"
'What?! I level up!'
Just like Aaron who can't believe it, Ellena was surprised by the news. Since it was rely little points that they could get from the mansion, they didn't notice the number of experience they needed.
However, they were left in dismay as the good news has bad news with it.
"Status."

"Five hundred points! That's huge! Compared to the exp that we can get from preying, this would take us grinding!" Aaron exclaid, disbelief at what he just read.
'I still can't believe that you are surprised by yourself. That's clearly you too, right?'
Ellena's remark was out of context, however, it doesn't an that Aaron will just ignore it.
"Well, duh! It doesn't an that I have control of my system nature, esteed host!" He said in mockery, then continued. "You are still dominant in the both of us."
Ellena snickered as she saw Aaron's reaction. Aaron made a pouty face where his tiny eyebrows were twitching and his eyes are squinting.
'Fair enough. But what's new? If I was right, level three was discounted and the calculation improved. What's it right now.' Ellena asked as she prepared back inside the guild.
"Hmmm..." Aaron inspected himself, to be precise, he was processing so contents in his head regarding new information that had perhaps been added.
"Abilities appear to have a 5% added discount. So it appears to stack from the previous one, making it 25% down from the actual prize. The calculation was still the sa, however, there's new here. It's... evolution tree?"
Perplexed from what he read, Ellena who was unaware of everything can't catch up with him. Ellena was being accommodated by a staff that her attention was shifted to it.
They gave back her card with the record stamp on it. In every branch of the guild, there is a device to analyze the record. With it, they can compute the points and possible ti of promotion by mbers.
Going back to Aaron, he was just scrolling through the contents that appear in his head. It's uncommon, however, these kinds of things are not surprising to him anymore. What surprised him was the details in the contents.
The Evolution Tree wasn't ant for Ellena. It was for Aaron instead. He can know the line of evolution, requirents, and ti.
"I am a pixie right now, however, I can evolve into a new race? This is what I want! A way to have my own physical body!" He exclaid in a loud voice, making Ellena flinch since only she can hear Aaron.
'What's wrong? You're too loud.' Ellena complained.
"I was just surprised. The new thing that has been added to the level up was ant for , not for you Ellena!"
Ellena appears to be confused by Aaron's remark. Since she was been thinking of it after leaving the guild, she asked him.
'What do you an? By the way, we have already left the guild. I will be buying so maps for our journey. Perhaps tomorrow morning would be okay to travel.'
Ellena still talking with Aaron in her mind, but her body was working on buying so maps. She headed to a shop then inquired for a map of the dukedom since it was the biggest map they can produce.
"That would be 20 silver." The shopkeeper said.
Continuing into Aaron's pondering, Ellena left the shop imdiately so people won't get curious about her hanging up.
"I am from a pixie race right now. It's the lowest of the spirit and fairy species. And the possible evolutions are listed here!"
'Continue.'
"The possible evolution is three. [Higher Pixie], [Lesser Spirit], and [Fairyling]" Aaron read the content.
'Is there descriptions?'
"There is, but only the requirents and brief description."
'Perhaps I can help.'
Aaron read every description available. Although there appear to be impossible requirents, he shared them with Ellena one by one.

[Requirents: 10 practices of blessing in an actual fight. Fragnt of real dead pixie wings.]
.
[Lesser Spirit]

[Requirents: 20 practice of blessing in an actual fight. Fragnt of Mother Spirit.]
.
[Fairyling]
[A baby fairy that can appear in everyone's field of view. They can bless anyone they like, as long as there is mana in the surrounding. However, they are extrely weak to protect themselves since they are ant to bless, not to harm humans.]
[Requirents: 15 practice of blessing on any occasion. Fairy parent.]

Aaron was dumbfounded. Each evolution has a grey possible evolution, however, he can't see the contents of it. He can only assu the rate of having evolved into a new race.
Higher pixie has the lowest chance of evolving. Next with the Fairyling and lastly with the highest was Lesser Spirit.
Requirents are extrely lacking in description. Also, he finally realized that these evolutions don't give any hint of being physically present and independent.
The only have he has right now was hope, that the future possible evolution as so independence with it.
He sighed after discussing all of it with Ellena. Since Ellena can't comprehend it as it was not the field of her knowledge as evolution is new to her, she seems still remains optimistic about it.
'These requirents are hard to find, I think. But worry not, I will help you with it, especially every last one. Let's complete all of these requirents so that you can choose properly.'
With the optimistic vibe of Ellena, Aaron remained in dispirit.
"Are you sure? It's making lose hope actually. They need much ti to complete, I can't be a hindrance to you." Aaron said with worries.
'No. You always help , this ti I will do everything to help you.' Ellena responded.
But it wasn't what Aaron wants. He wants to be a companion to Ellena, a companion present by her side, independent to help her with everything. However, it seems to be just a dream.
"No. This will be less priority for now. We must have your reputation first."
'But we can do it together, right? I an, at the sa ti.' Ellen added.
Aaron just sighed, "Please, we can't have the luxury for it right now. You are the main priority for now."
Ellena seems to notice that Aaron was ignoring her suggestion. It was the first ti that Aaron ignored her suggestion.
'Just why are you ignoring this? What's the matter?' She blurted out.
"Nothings wrong. This isn't about you anyway."
'That's where you're wrong.' Ellena said in a small hint of fury in her voice.
Seems to be full of it, Ellena stopped walking just to look at Aaron above her.
'You have a chance to have your own body and you won't let it escape. You have done greater things to , and it's my ti right now.'
"But I already said that it's not important, it's impossible."
'You don't say what's important, Aaron. I know what's important to and you are at the top of it.'
Hearing it, Aaron remains silent. Can't build the words to express, he felt a strong sensation in his heart.
'What's wrong with ? Why am I acting stupid?' He cried inwardly.
'You are most important to , Aaron. And like I said, at the sa ti, we will find those requirents. It's fixed!'
Aaron just didn't reply not because of surrendering, but because of feeling that sensation once again. Because Ellena continues to walk, she didn't notice the strange expression on Aaron's face.
'What the heck?! Just why I was obsessed with helping her? Not knowing that she also felt the sa way?!' He cried as they entered an inn to stay for the night.
