The next day was extremely uneventful.


    Despite being very different departments, the Beast-tamer and nner orientations had almost identical content, the only difference being that instead ofpleting missions, nner students are required toplete at least one evolution n for a Beast-tamer per year, the quality of which will be assessed by the Professors of the department and assigned a grade.


    The grade at the end of the year will reward a certain number of credits that can be exchanged for items from the school.


    To maximize his ie, Kain couldn''t afford to ck off in either major.


    Additionally, all of the professors for the nner courses also decided to just spend the day giving long speeches.


    ''What a waste of a day. Couldn''t they just send out an email with all this information?''


    At least before his other sses pick up, he''d have an opportunity to continue focusing solely on his spiritual skills course.


    However, during the night he received a System notification distracting him from practice.


    After a moment of hesitation on whether or not he should stop practicing to check out the results of the upgrade, he eventually concluded that he wouldn''t be able to focus from the curiosity and went to investigate.


    ''I''m short on time so summarize the results of the upgrade as soon as possible''


    *Host''s request confirmed. Preparing to summarize the results of the upgrade…*


    *Host now has ess to theboratory*


    Kain waited for more. However, after over a minute passed, no more information was provided. It looked like the System really chose to summarize the results of its upgrade as concisely as possible.


    Sigh


    ''Please open the panel for theboratory and summarize its function''


    *Now bringing Host to the Laboratory*


    Kain thought that theboratory was just a new function in the System panel. However, simr to thearium his consciousness was actually brought to arge mostly empty room with white tile floors and white walls.


    ''Shouldn''t aboratory have more stuff in it? This is pretty much empty''


    *Additional equipment and functions will be added to theboratory with system upgrades. However, the Host will not be disappointed by the current equipment avable*


    The only piece of equipment was a futuristic machine featuring arge, ultra-thin holographic screen with a nearly invisible metallic frame. Next to this screen was a ss cell, illuminated by internal lights.


    Kain walked up to it but couldn''t figure out its function.


    ''Please exin what this is for me''


    *Answering Host. It is a Simtor. The machine allows the user to scan avable materials and spiritual creatures to simte evolution. Allowing the Host to urately predict the evolutionary form and sess rate without having the risk of wasted materials from an unsessful evolution or, even worse an unfavourably weak evolutionary form*


    ''Holy shit! I didn''t know you had it in you'' Kain was used to the System being quite mediocre as far as cheats go. However, this was the first time he''d actually been pleasantly surprised at the System''s capabilities.


    ''How does it work? Can it only work on my contracts''


    *The Simtor can be used with any spiritual creature you have made contact with, not only your contracts. It can also use any evolutionary materials you have made contact with to run a simtion. The Host can use the screen in front of you to select from the avable database of spiritual creatures and materials to run a Simtion right now*


    With anticipation Kain immediately turned to the screen, There were dozens of creatures in the database: ones seen at the breeding grounds, ones he''s fought in the wild, contracts of others that he''s met.


    ''Hmm…which should I pick?''


    He selected the Lumifin, in all of the nights Kain spent in a tree above Bea infected river water, a few of her victims over the nights were this light and water dual attribute, ck-iron quality species. Kain looked at its image on theputer—It was quite good-looking, although it was extremely weak.


    The Lumifin resembles a small, ethereal fish with translucent, shimmering fins that glow softly in various hues. About the size of a house cat, it has a streamlined, serpentine body and delicate, bioluminescent markings that change color ording to its emotions. Its bioluminescent scales allow it to create shes of light to provide temporary cover and disorientation.


    However, such defensive measures against predators were useless against Bea.


    It was usually caught as a decorative fish for the ponds of affluent families due to its beauty. But it had nobat power, and no known evolutionary form, therefore no beast-tamer would ever form a contract with it.


    Although, it not being suitable contract likely yed a role in no nner researching it to find a decent evolutionary form, if it has one. If it can evolve, the form probably has unusual requirements notmonly met in nature, otherwise, there''d also be reported cases of it evolving in the wild.


    After selecting the Lumifin, Kain was given the option to select up to 5 evolutionary materials.


    Selecting 5 options randomly to try it out, the fish on the screen became obscured by the blinding light of evolution.


    Gradually the light faded to reveal…a truly hideous creature. It has a bloated, misshapen body with uneven, ragged fins that barely glow. Its skin is a murky, mottled gray with patches of a sickly yellow, and itcks the smooth, streamlined appearance of its sessful ancestors. Its eyes are small and beady, giving it a perpetually disoriented look.


    Kain then read the species description provided by the System. Based on the description it was a ck-iron quality spiritual creature that had poorly developed abilities: its light maniption was weak and unreliable, often producing dim, flickering glows or unwanted shadows.


    In summary, it was aplete failure. Not only did the quality not go up. The few merits that Lumifin originally did have werepletely gone with this evolution.


    If he tried to sell this Gloomtail it''d probably be worth less than any one of the materials used in the evolution.


    However, Kain was not surprised by such horrid results. He had not learned the necessary knowledge to n an evolution from his nner major.


    Also, it''s not like this simtion costs anything, he can continue to experiment whenever he has some free time.


    *Actually Host, only the first Simtion is free as a test trial, every subsequent simtion will cost 100 GP*


    ''Damn it! Then tell me that beforehand! I would have taken this one more seriously.''
