Translator: 549690339
Grammar University.
As the winter of the 279th year in the Federated calendar approaches, the temperature continues to drop.
Su Lu, wearing a white shirt and black jacket, waits near the school gate.
Looking at the broad plaza within the campus and the brightly lit classrooms, he cannot help but sigh.
‘After university… my life path suddenly veers into an unkown maze…’
His good looks attract the attention of many female students, so of whom boldly approach him to ask for his na and contact information.
Su Lu declined each one, quietly waiting.
“Sean!”
About twenty minutes later, four people walked towards him.
They were Jas, John, Elizabeth and Diana.
“Hello, thank you again for your help… Ah? Where is Isaac?”
Su Lu ca this ti to express his gratitude and repay the money, truth be told, Isaac had the best living conditions among the group of five and often took the initiative to cover the costs.
“Isaac… He’s not doing well recently, if you hadn’t co today, we were planning on visiting him!”
Elizabeth and Diana exchanged glances, answering with forced smiles.
“What happened to him?” Su Lu asked with concern.
“It’s all because of that dog… Hallock!”
Upon hearing this, Jas and John’s faces wore tortured and awkward expressions.
…
Isaac did not live on campus but rented an apartnt near Grammar University instead.
Ding dong ding dong!
Elizabeth took the initiative to ring the doorbell.
After a few minutes, the wooden door slowly opened, revealing Isaac’s haggard face: “You’re here?”
“Not just us, Sean is here too, he ca to visit you.” Diana and Jas moved aside to reveal Su Lu standing behind them.
“Oh! Sean, you’re finally here, co in quickly!”
For the first ti, excitent surfaced on Isaac’s face and he opened the door wide.
“This place… it’s…”
Within the apartnt, which Isaac lived alone, the floor was strewn with dirty clothes and bedsheets, littered with bones, and mixed with a disturbing sll of a canine.
“What happened here?”
The two ladies frowned: “I rember that you are usually quite clean, Isaac?”
“Sigh…”
Isaac ran a hand through his hair, which was as ssy as a chicken coop, his eyes red: “I’m sorry… I didn’t tell you the entire truth last ti… Actually… I’m about to be driven mad by Hallock!”
He sat down on his own, poured himself a glass of strong liquor, and drank it gulp by gulp as if it could give him courage: “Hallock… oh… it’s simply a nightmare!”
“Don’t rush, take your ti…”
From Isaac’s sob-story, Su Lu could sense that if a normal Erha (a breed of dog) had the destructive power of a terrifying beast, then an Erha possessing Transcendent power would be a disaster!
Earlier, he had thought that Hallock was not inherently evil and got along well with Isaac, so it should be controllable.
However, it appeared things were a bit enforced now.
“As you know… Hallock is very naughty and mischievous, ever since it beca not so ordinary, it has beco increasingly unbearable…”
Isaac held his head in his hands: “Can you imagine being hypnotised by it every day, cleaning up its excrent, dealing with bones, and even doing other things?”
His eyes were sowhat lost and fearful.
“But… Isn’t it normal to do these things when keeping a pet dog? We don’t think there’s any problem?” Elizabeth and Diana exchanged glances and replied.
“But… Ahh, Hallock is a dog, it doesn’t act in a human way, it only commands to behave in a dog’s way…”
Isaac looked as if he was about to burst into tears.
Jas and John froze, while Elizabeth and Diana lowered their heads, faces reddening.
“Can you even imagine it? It’s as if I’ve beco a servant to a dog, it’s the master, and I can’t refuse any of its orders…”
Isaac suddenly began to weep bitterly, as if he had experienced sothing extrely painful.
Su Lu seed to have thought of sothing, quickly massaging his face, trying hard to keep it expressionless.
“My God… That’s simply a nightmare!”
Isaac covered his face: “I once thought that having a Transcendent creature was sothing to be proud of… But now, I just want to sell it or dump it… But, I can’t! Because it can always find its way back, and when I want to sell it, it turns around and controls …”
“Uh…we understand, we get your pain!”
Jas and John looked at each other, and swallowed, no longer ntioning buying Hallock.
anwhile, they felt inexplicably fortunate.
“Sean… do you have a solution?”
Suddenly, Elizabeth looked at Su Lu, asking in a questioning tone.
Isaac eagerly looked at Su Lu too.
After all, he is the one who has mastered mysterious spells.
“Well…”
Su Lu was a bit troubled: “You must understand… even in the Transcendent world, once the servant’s power surpasses that of the master by too much, problems tend to arise.”
Yes, just like his Corpse Maiden.
“So… there’s no solution after all?”
Isaac’s eyes turned dull, he was almost becoming a walking corpse.
“There’s not necessarily no solution…”
Su Lu coughed: “The key now is that you have no way to suppress Hallock’s power… So, if you can beco a Transcendent, the situation might improve a bit.”
Of course, just a bit.
Because even when the master-servant pact was established, it was always better for the master to be on a higher level in order to fully suppress the servant.
However, for ordinary humans to promote themselves to the first level of being Transcendent, and further to the second level of Elites, is not sothing that can be achieved overnight. It requires a large amount of ti and study for training and it’s uncertain whether it would be successful!
“So… are you willing to guide ? I can’t learn that language…”
Isaac looked at Su Lu.
“In order to beco a Transcendent, it is not necessary to learn that spell, you can find other paths… if you are willing, I know so secret circles that I can introduce you to.”
Su Lu was not prepared to teach his own Transcendent profession, and the others were not very useful, either being [Pact Demonist] or the likes of [Necromancer] which had great hidden dangers.
He decided that once he got into the circle of the city’s Transcendent individuals, he would introduce Isaac.
“But… this will take ti.”
“That’s alright, I can wait!” Under the envious gazes of his fellow students, Isaac imdiately assured him.
“Very good.”
Su Lu nodded: “I’ll inform you when the ti is right.”
“But… before that.” Isaac said sowhat awkwardly: “Would you, err… do a favour, I would like to send Hallock to stay with you for a while or you can even have him!”
Before gaining enough self-protection, he was really reluctant to face that Erha alone.
“Alright… Let it stay with then.”
Su Lu stroked his chin, and agreed.
