At the exchange hall, simr to the mission hall, there were sectioned-offrge electronic screens separated by privacy screens, that would allow students to search for what they need a lot more efficiently than browsing shelves of items.


    Kain looked at the armours and weapons to get a judgement of how much school credits were worth inparison to Celestial Dors.


    2-star armours and weapons would usually cost between 300,000 and 1 million CD, depending on its material, effects and number of sigils.


    However, at the exchange hall they could be exchanged for 300 to 500 credits. Therefore, Kain concluded that school credits were each worth around 1000 CD.


    Finally, having an idea of their value, Kain went to the sectionbelled as evolutionary materials.


    As silver-quality creatures, Eve and the Vespiraewould not reach much of a bottleneck when advancing to orange-grade. However, Bea, after absorbing a lot of spiritual power on their recent missions, was quickly approaching her limit. Kain needed to start nning for her evolution. Fortunately, he wouldn''t waste the materials in vain with the Simtor provided by the System.


    During his first few lectures as an Evolutionary nner they focused on identifying the necessaryponents of an evolution n and even had an assignment rted to it.


    Therefore, in contrast to when he threw together random materials to hope for a sessful evolution in the Simtor, Kain now at least had some theory to support him.


    The firstponent was the Spiritual Power Source, during the process of evolution, contracts are not able to absorb spiritual power from the surroundings to support the evolution.


    Therefore, one of the materials provided must have a sufficient amount of energy to allow them to upgrade to a higher quality. If there is not enough energy then the evolution will fail, or an unfavorable evolution not higher in quality will ur; like what happened during Kain''s evolution of Lumifin to Gloomtail.


    The best such energy source was the spiritual power orb obtained from yellow-grade and higher spiritual creatures. However, the use of such a high quality orb was often considered wasteful at lower levels, therefore the empire had managed to produce artificial spiritual power orbs to support the evolutions of ck-iron, Bronze, and Silver quality creatures.


    However, since Kain already had a yellow-grade orb, he figured he might as well use it. Bea deserved the best.


    The nextponent is the Evolutionary Catalyst. It is what destabilizes the gics of a spiritual creature enough to allow evolution to take ce. They may be magical elixirs produced by pharmacists or a natural material.


    However, the level of the elixir must increase with the quality of the contract you hope to upgrade. Therefore, very few pharmacists in the empire are at a high enough level to allow the evolution of contracts past Gold-quality.


    However, as a top 5 college Dark Moon College naturally has ess to the top pharmacists in the empire to support their students'' contracts'' evolutions well beyond Gold-quality.


    However, after a certain point obtaining a high enough level elixir will be so rare that another option such as ancient artifacts or powerful natural substances will be usually used as a catalyst.


    The finalponent needed is the Evolutionary Base Material.


    This is the material that actually serves as the basis for the final evolutionary form and there may be more than one in an evolution n.


    However, care must be taken to make sure they do not impede one another otherwise the evolution may fail and lead to the materials being wasted, or worse a disadvantageous evolution.


    The base material often depends on the spiritual creature. For example, spiritual creatures such as elemental sprites, which are energy forms, usually rely on elemental crystals.


    Most beast-type spiritual creatures usually rely on the core body parts of much more powerful spiritual creatures.


    These 3ponents are the minimum three requirements to have even a sliver of hope of evolving.


    However, some evolutions may also have environmental requirements, needing the evolution to ur in areas with high enough elemental energy to be supplied during the process.


    Kain currently needs a catalyst and base material.


    However, thankfully as a student of a top 5 college, catalysts will be supplied for each contract for free once he can prove that he his contract has reached the limit of its potential and he has an evolutionary n signed by a nner.


    Thankfully, as a student of the nner major he can easily get a professor to sign off on his own n.


    In fact, beast-tamer students in the nner major are strongly encouraged toe up with ns for their own contracts.


    Therefore, all Kain needs is a suitable base material.


    Scrolling through the base materials avable, Kain could see that majority were mostly for the mostmon elemental attributes such as fire, water, and wind-attributes.


    Which is understandable because most of the moremon creatures hunted to obtain these materials were probably of elemental attributes.


    After applying a filter only for mental-attribute materials, there were only 7 materials avable. At least among what Kain had ess to. He was sure that the school had materials with a higher level that could only be exchanged by students after making extraordinary contributions.


    One such exchange opportunity was apparently given depending on their performance at the National Competition.


    The five avable materials were:


    Psionic Crystal - A rare crystal imbued with concentrated psychic energy from an orange-grade creature, enhancing intellectual and telepathic abilities during evolution.


    Neural Fiber - Extracted from a highly intelligent mental-attribute an orange-grade spiritual creature, this material aids in the development of advancing intelligence during evolution.


    Eye of Illusion - A gem-like eye derived from a yellow-grade spiritual creature skilled in weaving illusions. It enhances a creature''s ability to create and perceive illusions, making it ideal for evolution focused on illusionary skills.


    Dreamweaver''s Silk Core- The core of an orange-grade dreamweaving spiders'' silk-spinning organs, enhancing a creature''s ability to enter and manipte dreams.


    Subliminal Orb – An orb obtained from an orange-grade spiritual creature skilled at subtly altering the perceptions and subconscious of those nearby, enhancing the creature''s ability to subtly influence and manipte others.


    Mindleech Vine – A rare yellow-grade spiritual nt vine who feeds via its tendrils ensnaring passing prey and then consuming their memories. All those caught by Mindleech Vines be permanently amnesic at best and brain-dead at worst.


    Cerebral Core - The central nervous systemponent of a powerful yellow-grade mental creature, providing a solid foundation and increasing the chances of sess during evolution for those with a mental-attribute.
