Chapter 249 The New Familiar [Pt 1]
A swirling white void opened up.
Within it emerged a radiant creature with pure white fur—brilliant like snow.
Its two long ears perked up as it manifested, with marble-like red eyes gleaming with innocence.
It had a small form, quadrupedal, with a cute appearance that startled everyone once they witnessed the entity that showed itself.
It was none other than...
"A rabbit?"
"That's a rabbit, isn't it?"
"An albino rabbit to be exact."
The students looked at the creature before them and murmured their thoughts.
The Grand Beast that just manifested in front of them resembled just any kind of albino rabbit one could find on Earth.
If not for the tattoo-like markings on its body—lined in black—it looked so ordinary.
'These guys... they have no idea.' Rey grinned widely as he looked at the summoned entity.
Its cute appearance could fool everyone, but not him.
He could clearly feel the intense energy the thing emitted.
But, that wasn't even all.
'Absolute Appraisal.'

[End Of Information]
Rey nearly dropped his jaw as looked at the absurd Status Information of the creature.
He expected it to be strong, but not this powerful.
'What the fuck?!'
This was what the entire class was missing out on by letting Alicia's Skill collect dust all this time!
'It's a phenomenal ability! I'm definitely trying this out later!'
If he could obtain a powerful summon, then it could prove to be his most valuable ally yet.
'Is there a limit to the summon you can get per time? If so, I bet she can just keep summoning them and improve our overall combat ability.' Rey was beyond amazed.
He was bamboozled.
He looked around and saw that most of the students considered the rabbit cute and were even squealing at the pure white thing.
"Awww! Look at the little guy."
[Additional Information]
A pet-lover who desires to return home, but can not afford to see others in a state of distress. Your Skills and Class are in perfect synergy with you.
[End Of Information]
The gap that she felt between herself and the rabbit was too far apart.
It was like the distance between Heaven and Earth.
'He was right...' Alicia heaved slowly.
As much as she hated to admit it, Ralyks had been correct on this matter.
'I'm too weak. This was the right call all along...' A small smile formed on her face as her lips curled upward.
Her amber-colored eyes reflected the System Notification that now glowed in front of her.
[Bonding Successful]
[Congratulations! You have acquired a Familiar, and a secure 'Bond' has been established between the two of you.]
[Please Name Your Familiar]
'I did it! I succeeded!'
The Summoning Circle surrounding the rabbit was slowly evaporating, but Alicia no longer laid any mind to it.
One of the importance of the Circle was to protect the summoner from the Beast within it, since if it wasn't yet under control, it could rampage.
No matter how powerful a Beast or Monster was, they could never break out of an active Summoning Circle.
If the rabbit had negative intentions, it couldn't perpetrate it as long as it was within the confines of the barrier.
But now... all of that was unnecessary.
The creature was hers now.
"Snow. I'll call her Snow."
[Your Familiar will be named 'Snow']
[You and Snow have become linked by your Bond, so you can completely understand each other]
[End Of Process]
The System Panel disappeared, and almost as soon as it did, Alicia collapsed to her knees in sheer exhaustion.
"Haaa... Haaa..."
Several of her classmates attempted to encircle her, but Ralyks signaled for them to stop.
As such, they maintained their distance.
"Huff... huff..." Sweat dripped from Alicia's face, and her body trembled as she felt the toll on her body.
'Even with the enhancements... I feel so drained.'
This wasn't Life Force drainage, else she would have healed herself.
It also wasn't a decrease in stamina or any other physical area, since she could always use the White Ember to raise her physical attributes to counter the exhaustion.
No... this was about her Mana.
'To think that I feel this way even after using three Enchanted Items simultaneously.'
It was no wonder she hadn't been able to properly use this Skill before.
'But... I did it!' Alicia beamed, albeit tiredly.
And the fruits of her labor, Snow, stood in front of her as a testament to that.
'You and I... we're in this together, okay?'
