After dinner, Logan was called up by Valeria, who wanted to see him in her room.
He was squirming, wondering why she would call him up and unsure of how he should react once inside her room.
"Boy, quit thinking weird things. I am just going to return the favor for providing with such a great beast. Co, there is sothing I have been holding on to for a while," Valeria said as she pulled Logan into her room.
"Girl, I don't think you want to see what will happen next," Valeria said with a grin after catching a certain red-haired girl hiding in a corner.
"Don't mind !" Rubina flinched as she was caught.
"Just co in. I really don't think you will like what will happen though," Valeria kept teasing as she had Logan sit on her bed, making things even weirder for the youths.
Rubina, who could not take the joke, entered the room while huffing and sat next to Logan, glaring at Valeria.
"Be my guest then." Valeria took out a small box from one of her bags.
She was careful with her movents as she secretly opened the box before shutting it again.
"Alright, everything seems good here." She then took out another, smaller box and opened the first one again, taking out sothing and placing it in the second box.
Logan and Rubina were left guessing what it was all about as Valeria kept her back turned to hide what she was doing.
"Now then, I wonder if your magic is strong enough to make this work," Valeria said as she put the first box away and carefully picked up the smaller box again.
It was a black box with a small mana crystal on the top. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
"Okay, here it is—your gift, Logan." Valeria handed the boy the container while taking a seat on a chair she brought close to see their reaction.
"What is it...?" Logan asked, trying to be as careful as Valeria, who had treated the object with a tender touch.
He opened it and saw how the red-haired girl beside him stood up before storming off from the room.
"I wonder what that was about..." Logan asked Valeria, who shrugged as she kept observing Logan.
"Alright... now try infusing your mana into the crystal on top and don't stop until you see a reaction. Make sure you only concentrate dark magic into it—I keep forgetting you also use light magic."
Logan did as he was told, concentrating a good portion of his energy into the small box until he saw the mana crystal shine, causing the small round object inside to move.
"What is that?" Logan asked as he saw the round, black, pearl-like object grow a little before popping like a balloon.
"There we go. I hope you aren't afraid of it. Don't worry, it shouldn't hurt even if it bites you while it's that young, so try your taming technique before it tries to move," Valeria instructed.
Logan watched as the small creature began to uncurl itself. He noticed two legs as it tried to stretch, then four, then six... and finally eight.
He wanted to jump at the sight but forced himself to remain in place and hurried to ta it before it had a chance to move.
Without the ti to take out a dagger, Logan used his teeth to nip at a finger and lightly pinched it to let a small drop fall on top of the small arachnid.
"ntor, why did you not tell earlier?" Logan exclaid as he felt a link form with the small creature, who was confused by the liquid being splashed over him.
"So, did it work... Did you create the link?" Valeria asked, not caring about Logan's questions.
"Yes, it was easily accepted," Logan replied as the small creature suddenly jumped out of the box and stood on his hand.
[Food!] the little critter demanded as it looked up at Logan, showing wisdom within its small, boxy body.
"I had forgotten about baby creatures and their need for food…" Logan said while taking out his large mana crystal, which he laid on top of his ntor's bed.
"Hey, don't just place that heavy thing on my..." she tried to rebuke.
"It's your fault for not warning …" Logan said as he placed the box down and used one hand to hold on to the mana crystal while concentrating on the small spider in his left hand.
[Feed…yum!] He heard the slight, squeaky, cute voice call out from his hand while transferring mana to it.
The spider danced around in happiness as its body swelled a little.
"Wait! Those grow fast!" Valeria exclaid, but before she could finish her sentence, she saw how the four-milliter small arachnid was enveloped by a dark fog. "I really should have inford you earlier…"
Logan, whose hand began to weigh him down, tried to keep his focus, knowing that stopping midway could bring problems to the newborn creature.
Soon he felt the tiny animal growing in size.
He wasn't sure what would happen but rembered the large insect do filled with foot-long insects—the biggest of which were even larger than a cat from his world.
Soon he had to let go as the two-foot spider finished evolving.
It looked exactly as it did while it was small: black, a little hairy, but a little boxy, with its feet positioned in a manner that looked like it was ready to jump.
"I can tell you one thing… that is probably the largest one I have ever seen, and by its rich color, it's one of the most powerful," his ntor said, nodding as she inspected the large creature for its species.
"Ugh… well, I never thought about getting one, but alright. I am guessing it's dark elental, so it does fit the… request I had asked about," Logan said, a little creeped out by the large spider next to him.
"It will grow on you… just rember we have to get those magical threads from sowhere. Guess from who?" Valeria grinned as she tried petting the spider, who quickly turned towards her.
"Hey there, little one, you look just like Char."
"Char? Is that its mother?" Logan asked while trying to pet it to get used to his new tad beast.
"Yeah, I left her back ho as she doesn't like to move about much at her age. Her eggs just need a little bit of mana to hatch, so I was saving a few for when their mother…" Valeria trailed off while continuing to pet the creature.
"Now then, take it back to your room and give it a little more mana. I did not expect it to beco so big right away, so give it this…" Valeria took out a small rabbit from her storage container.
It was still fresh, so it had been recently killed.
Before Logan had a chance to put it away, the spider embraced it and began wrapping it with webs.
[Food, food!] it said with joy in its tiny, cute voice, which made Logan want to pinch sothing around him—just not the spider.
"Guess I will need small critters to food this kid" Logan stated while they waited for the spider to finish eating.
