Chapter 49:Special level! Increased!

"Well! You have the face of someone who committed a great sin!"

Simon was back at the special advising zone, and somehow it felt even more oppressive than his first visit. However, nothing about it changed, with shelves of books lining the left and right walls. On the far side is a shelf of numerous trophies and accolades. Works of art are tastefully strewn about the room. A collection of chairs for visitors to seat on.

The cushioned man was also being very genial and nice. However, apprehension about what he had done had robbed him of any comfort he might have felt.

"I messed up... Didn't I?"

He was as quiet as a mouse when he said this.

Now. There were two other companions in the room with him. Namely, Amy and Stella.

Stella was being incredibly respectful and equally as apologetic when he said this, her ears flattening to her head.

Amy, however, had different ideas as a growl escaped her lips as she stared down at the gentleman.

He neatly combed his hair as he also gave her a dead look before turning his attention to Simon his expression turning to an amused smirk.

"Well. Yes, my boy, you did mess up but you might be surprised to know that it is not that uncommon for some of our students to miss a couple of classes. It might be a misdemeanor but hardly one to get me involved. I might not look it but I am a busy man."

Simon's shoulders relaxed a little at the revelation though his mind was still apprehensive about what was going on. Usually, when he was at home it was because he was in trouble.

As his shoulders relaxed so did Amy's silent growl as she planted her but right next to his sitting feet. She was still staring right at Michael. Stella also inched closer trying to suppress the urge to massage his shoulders which still looked very rigid.

"Oh. Then why?"

*Sigh*

"I forget that despite your intelligence you are woefully under-informed about the world."

There was bitterness with the way he said it but the moment was brief and he was back to calm and kind so fast that it was hard to latch on to it.

"No matter! I will tell you why! You my, boy, have caught lightning in a bottle twice!"

Michael spread his arms wide as he said this.

Simon's head did not compute what had just been told to him.

"What do you mean?"

The man deflated quite quickly at his question.

"...Right. You lack basic information, otherwise, you would be more excited. My boy, do you know what a miracle bond is?"

Simon nodded as he replied.

"Kind of. It is a special bond that can happen when taming a monster girl and is supposed to accelerate the process."

The middle-aged gave him a gentle nod as he raised his fist with three fingers pointing up.

"Yes, but you are either glossing over three important details that are very relevant to this situation. First, it is incredibly rare for this to happen, the base odds are 1 in 8192 and when it is your first time it is still 1 in 512. So the chance of having you get it twice in a row is 1 in roughly 4 million. Second, the miracle bond has another often overlooked feature because of how rare it is, the fact that like the first bond, it decreases the cost of maintaining your monster girl to a fifth. And finally and perhaps most importantly you tamed an epic monster as your second tame that costs as much as a normal tame."

He took one chubby finger down for each point he made and with every point Simon's eyes widened more and more.

The realization had dawned on him as the words were spelled out. He had already had an idea of his 'special' existence mostly because of the talk with the annoying Daiki.

Putting two and two together, he just became that much more special. And based on what Daiki told him, his 'desirability' also skyrocketed.

"Ah! There is the intelligence I like to see! So how do you realize why you were called here?"

Simon was about to instinctively nod his head only to shake it from side to side.

He understood that he was important but not why it was the headache of the man in front of him.

"I get that I am very special but not why this demanded an immediate calling to your room?"

"Hmm. Oh! Right! Rules and politics, you are not privy to either. See, if this information ever gets out you will become the hottest thing at this university. That by itself is no problem. What is a problem is that you might not be equipped to handle the attention."

There was venom when he uttered the word nobles, but similar to the bitterness, it was gone so quickly that he could not make sense of the emotional spike.

"For reasons I do not wish to get into, we have found that most of our students who exhibited similar levels of greatness would rather stay under the radar before they are ready, and as an institution to nurtures tamers, we believe it is our duty to guide them. Now. I will not enforce it on you, but you should take my offer."

"Oh..." Simon was about to answer in the affirmative but something happened that prevented him from speaking.

His bands let out an imperceptible glow as he fell compelled to say his next few words.

"I would rather the Planar University not get involved. This is both a challenge and an opportunity given to me. I wish to pass it with my own merit."

Simon could not believe what was coming out of his mouth. But at the same time, it felt like these were his most inner most thoughts.

"Huh... Well, this is unexpected..."

His advisor was equally as flabbergasted, but Amy looked incredibly proud as she rubbed his feet with her soft furry puppy form.
