"Everyone is working hard, huh?" Fenrir looked around while walking alongside Nathan.
"Yeah. I’m glad that everyone is working hard."
"Why? Can’t you just protect them?"
"Well…" Nathan rubbed his cheek. "When I read novels, I often co to stories where the female leads are kind of left behind because they can’t keep up. So are fleshed out so much that it’s a sha that they can’t keep up and the authors just forget about them.
"After reading a lot of novels, I know I don’t want such a relationship. It’s fortunate that they’re talented and are able to keep up."
"Is that so?" Fenrir shrugged. "I don’t really care about it, though. As long as you’re happy, that’s enough for ."
"Ahaha. Anyway, it’s ti for us to learn more about knowledge that we don’t receive from school." Nathan glanced at Anubis. "Your reward as well."
"Hehehe. It is who becos the biggest winner." Anubis smirked.
"This is not fair. You’re taking advantage of the situation." Jinwu complained on Nathan’ shoulder.
"Then, just beco more useful." Anubis snorted.
Jinwu and Fenrir were frustrated, but they couldn’t do anything because Anubis had managed to get it first. If they forced Nathan to give more reward, he wouldn’t have enough ena for himself.
"Anyway, where are we going? For you to summon all of us… except that lazy lizard." Jinwu asked.
"This place." Nathan pointed at the small house in front of him. It was the house for two people because most of the ti, the familiar had to stay in this world as a researcher.
Nathan knocked on the door, which imdiately got a reply.
"Who is it?"
"It’s Nathan. Do you have ti?"
Charlotte opened the door and looked at the three familiars, wondering what Nathan wanted to do.
"Sure. I completed my work two days ago. If there’s nothing big, I will be here most of the ti, continuing my research."
Nathan nodded. "There are a few topics that I want to ask. They haven’t taught in school, so I co to you."
"Sure." Charlotte opened the door wide while waving her hand down, telling him to enter.
Inside, she first made tea for Nathan and so snacks for the beasts. The house itself was small, but as expected of the house where two great minds resided. It was filled with scribbles.
"Sorry if the house is a bit ssy." While taking her seat, she asked, "So, what do you want to know?"
"I actually want to know more about my beasts… I an, my divine beasts, like their origins, locked skills, and other things. After testing the ti elent, I believe that knowledge has beco the most important key to utilize my contract more efficiently."
"Oh. I don’t mind teaching you everything. Just let see you using your contract and stuff. I’m curious about the innate ability as well. After all, I’m wondering if there are ranks for innate abilities or if the innate ability is a kind of divinity that a human can possess."
Nathan agreed without hesitation. He thought it would be good to ask about the contract regarding Sasha as well. If he succeeded in raising Sasha’s potential, he might be able to help other familiars as well.
"In that case, what do you think about divine beasts?" Nathan asked.
Charlotte contemplated for a mont before raising a finger. "Before that, why do you think they’re classified as divine beasts? No. What do you think about the ranks of your familiars? Right now, the only way to differentiate the familiar’s potential is to see their quality, right?
"When you think of it that way, I can’t help but raise a question regarding the ranks for familiars.
"For example, a lot of people are furrowing their eyebrows upon low-level familiars like goblins, no?
"However, if you think about it, what about the evolution of those goblins? People are less likely to frown when they see a hobgoblin, no? What about a goblin champion? A goblin hero? Or even more powerful… a goblin king?
"When they reach such a level, don’t you think a goblin is actually considered a mighty warrior? Not at the level of divine beasts, but I think you get the idea.
"Familiars like vampires can even beco a legendary being like a progenitor or even a god?
"So, if you want to talk about divine beasts, what about their ranks? What is before a divine beast?"
Nathan widened his eyes in shock. The first question alone was already mind-blowing. He couldn’t help but look at Fenrir and the others.

"Let’s see… If I have to make a rank for beasts, it will be classified into four ranks: normal, urban legend, universal legend, and divine beasts.
"For normal rank, it will be a normal beast, like a tiger you can see in the forest. However, once it has done a lot of things, people will start an urban legend… like the protector or the terror of the mountain and such.
"Then, the next rank after that is a universal legend. Or should I say the world’s legend? They have beco so famous that their legend is known to the entire world.
"The best example will be a great whale known as Moby Dick, or the giant octopus called Kraken, or even an extinct animal whose legend has been so twisted that its existence becos a mix of normal animal, urban legend, or even a world legend like a great shark, galodon.
"However, one step further is a beast that is referred to by the people as a deity. They can be a local deity or even wandering gods. Either way, they are classified as divine beings like these guys behind ."
Now that Nathan had been presented with such a question, he realized that not everything could be considered a god. Even Sun Wukong, who was considered to be equal or even stronger than gods and goddesses, was still seen as a demon instead of a god. At the sa ti, so sources also considered him as an evil deity.
Nevertheless, his understanding had beco a bit more complex.
Charlotte smiled. "Since you get the idea, let’s delve deeper into this topic."
