"If you're presented with an opportunity to reach a much higher level, what will you do?" Nathan smiled mysteriously.
"What do you an?" Sasha tilted her head.
"Literally. I might have a way to increase your quality, but it's sothing I have never tried before. Even the theory is a bit of a stretch. It's sothing not related to evolution, but it's sothing that can lift you up."
Sasha widened her eyes in shock. "I can get stronger?"
Even Sasha knew that her talent was limited, so she didn't expect much. Selena was already kind enough to give her a chance to evolve if she found a way in the future, but she knew she couldn't keep up with the rest.
Sasha thought for a mont. "Such a thing must co with a price…"
"Indeed. Are you willing to risk your life and beco my subject of experint?" Nathan nodded with a serious expression. Although he worded it this way, it wasn't like Sasha would be in real danger.
After all, it would just be testing the soul contract. Still, Nathan wanted to hide it from Selena just a bit longer, so he might have to utilize the non-disclosure agreent on her.
Nathan raised two fingers. "First of all, there's a chance for you to evolve. That is, through the summoning ritual. Selena is planning to summon Lilith as her fifth familiar. Since you're a creature born from her, Lilith might have a way for you to evolve.
"On the other hand, my thod is slightly different. It will independently increase your quality. If you agree, there's a chance that you will evolve through Lilith but reach an even higher level because I increase your quality directly. For example, if you're supposed to reach Excellent (High) quality after you evolve, you might be able to get Perfect (Low) quality with the help of my thod."
"Is that actually possible?"
"That's what I want to test. The theory is possible, but I don't know if it can be done or not."
Sasha fell silent. This was a weird and suspicious offer, but Nathan definitely wouldn't harm her, since he wouldn't be able to face Selena after that.
As a result, Sasha nodded her head. "I understand. I will do it."
"That's great." Nathan grinned excitedly. He first ford the contract.
[Party A, Nathan, will conduct an experint on Party B, Sasha, for Party B's benefits. Party B will have…]
Nathan paused for a mont. "Well, this is the related ability. A contract. This ans an exchange. If I manage to do this, what will you do for ?"
Sasha tilted her head in confusion. "I don't think you have much attraction to this nonhuman body of mine, so I wonder what I should do? I'm not really the type to work on a household chore like Risa."
Nathan thought for a mont. "How about serving as a second master like Risa? It's not about maids. It's similar to being a godfather but for summoners."
Sasha nodded. "I don't have any problem with it."
Considering she would receive a lot of benefits from this experint, she wouldn't mind serving Nathan as her second summoner.
Nathan nodded and finalized the contract.
[Party A, Nathan, will conduct experints on Party B, Sasha, for Party B's benefits. Party B will serve Party A as a second summoner. Party B is forbidden to disclose any information related to this experint, including the contract itself, to anyone other than Party A, even if it's Party B's summoner. This non-disclosure agreent will be nullified if Party A discloses the information first or allows Party B to reveal it.]
"This should be enough for the ti being." Nathan showed it to her.
"Yes." Sasha understood why Nathan wanted her to shut her mouth. Selena hadn't seen this ability, so it was normal for Nathan wanting to hide it first.
Sasha wouldn't be the only one to benefit from this. If the experint succeeded, other familiars would definitely receive the benefits.
"In that case, please sign it. You can just use your blood and sign it with your thumb."
Sasha followed Nathan's instruction, which activated the contract. Sasha sensed the change in her mind, which allowed her to understand the nature of the contract.
Without waiting for her reaction, Nathan ford the second contract. "Let's begin the experint then."
[Party C, the world, will change Party B's, Familiar Sasha, Quality to a higher rank in exchange for 1,000 ena, which will be paid by Party A, Nathan.]
Unfortunately, raising one's quality was easier said than done. In the end, raising Sasha's Quality would impact the world. It was similar to a ti elent. Rewinding the ti would an affecting the whole world.
The amount of ena to rewind the entire world was sothing not possible for a single human. At best, he could rewind a few seconds to the past.
However, the fact that it was possible to send the dream from the future, he might only need to be creative in using his contract. Of course, he also considered the possibility that the contract's level was still too low to do it.
While Nathan focused on experints, Noelle and Sera were facing a weird situation.
"Hmm?" Noelle and Sera looked at a massive entrance on the hill.
"Is this the entrance to the nest?" Noelle frowned.
"Yeah. I think so. But…" Sera tilted her head to the side. "There are entrances on that hill too. No. The entrances are visible on all hills in this area. What is this? An ant nest or sothing?
"Or is this a tunnel? If they're a tunnel leading to the front line, this is going to be troubleso."
"Yeah." Noelle nodded. "Looking at the size alone, it can easily allow fifty aliens to pass through per second."
"Should we split up? I can check the tunnel on that hill." Sera pointed to the hill on the right. "We will et up in a few hours."
"No. Since the entrance is rather suspicious, it's better to stay close. We have a lot of ti, so let's take our ti to explore each tunnel."
"Understood." Sera agreed.
