Greetings, Mister Principal: It feels good to play with a cat
"You can call me Lady Freya."
Kitten said so seriously, leaving Reiner stunned.
After a while, Reiner came back to his senses. He took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the kitten's face.
"I really spoke, not a magical voice..."
He murmured to himself, rubbing the kitten's cheek with his hand.
"Please wait a moment, meow. If this continues, if it continues like this, it will... gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."
The kitten still wanted to stretch out her paws to protest, but soon she succumbed to Lena's attack. She purred continuously in her throat, closed her eyes slightly, held her head up, and enjoyed Lena's affection. Provide a full range of services.
Reiner petted the cat for a few minutes before taking back his hand and confirming.
"Are you the legendary dormitory administrator, eh, Mrs. Freya?"
"...Why did you stop suddenly? No, I am Mrs. Freya, meow!"
Kitten sat up straight and repeated again.
In order to show her identity, she rolled her eyes slightly, and several books and quills on Reiner's desk floated up. They were the hands of a mage.
"Is this the ability of transformation?"
Reiner returned to his seat and looked at the kitten sitting in front of him, er, Mrs. Freya.
"To be precise, this was a mistake."
With light steps, Mrs. Freya jumped off Reiner's table and sat on the sofa opposite.
"During a transformation spell, I was unable to transform back into a human form due to an accident. I have been living like this for several years."
She licked her paws, and that comfortable gesture made Reiner think she might have done it on purpose.
Being a cat is much happier than being a human.
"By the way, the creature I transformed is not a cat."
Hearing Mrs. Freya's words, Reiner frowned slightly and carefully looked at Mrs. Freya in front of him.
The slender limbs, pink flesh **** and claws, tiger-like patterns, and whiskers on the face are no different from a cat.
"This creature is called Mona, a creature from a distant demiplane."
Said as if quite proudly, Mrs. Freya stood up and stretched, her tail raised high and the end twisted playfully.
"True or false..."
Reiner twitched the corner of his mouth, always feeling that the other party was lying to him.
He stood up and took out the Encyclopedia of Demiplane Creatures. After a lot of effort, he actually found the entry about Mona.
Turn over the page, and Reiner first saw a picture of a creature that was almost identical to a cat, with the word "Mona" written on it in Common.
Raising a Mona soon made Reiner understand the strangeness of this creature.
Mona is a kind of wonderful creature. They have a biological clock in their body that is difficult to explain in any way. This biological clock is outside the plane and is very accurate. Moreover, the biological clock in each Mona is surprisingly consistent. Their behavior has also become extremely regular. To put it simply, they will go to bed at a fixed time and wake up at a fixed time.
Due to this characteristic, in the past, many mages would keep a Mona as an alarm clock.
For this reason, during the ancient Magic Empire, the mage also defined one-twelfth of Mona's standard sleep time as one hour on the main plane, which is equivalent to two standard hourglass times.
If you walk in the demiplane for a long time, raising a Mona is definitely a better choice than carrying a pocket watch.
"There really is..."
Reiner glanced at Mrs. Freya again. To be honest, he still didn't understand the difference in appearance between a creature like Mona and a cat.
But soon, Reiner noticed that Mona’s native place was no other place, but the annihilated demiplane, Midgar. The original habitat of this creature was the desert, and it was resistant to heat. , usually one drink of water will store enough for several days, and the stripes on their bodies have also become protective colors in the desert. In Midgar, which is mostly desert, this kind of creature was once seen everywhere.
But with the annihilation of Midgar, most of the wild Mona was destroyed together with the humans living in the demiplane of Midgar. Fortunately, due to the special characteristics of Mona itself, during the ancient Magic Empire , this kind of creature has been widely raised, so the destruction of Midgar did not have much impact on the Mona population itself.
Reiner raised his head and looked at Mrs. Freya who was licking the hair on her back.
"There is such a creature as Mona. Why did you choose to become this?"
The mage's transformation technique is extremely special. It can transform a person into another animal in a short period of time and gain the abilities of the corresponding animal. However, there are also limitations. For example, the most basic one is that a mage can only choose to transform into another animal in his life. An animal cannot change once it has been chosen.
During the ancient magic empire, many wizards would try to transform into birds that could fly or some magical creatures that could control elements. It is said that in the distant past, there were wizards who successfully transformed into a dragon, but those were It's a rumor with no credible information.
In Reiner's view, apart from being able to accurately tell time, a creature like Mona is no different from an ordinary cat in other aspects. It is really hard to imagine that anyone would be willing to transform into this.
"There are many reasons for this, meow."
Mrs. Freya did not explain. She jumped down from the sofa, circled around Reiner who was sitting on the chair, and rubbed Reiner's trouser leg with the end of her tail.
"I have been observing you to see if you are qualified to inherit this academy."
She said, then jumped onto Reiner's desk.
So why did you jump down from here before... Reiner twitched the corner of his mouth again.
He didn't pay too much attention to what Mrs. Freya said. When it came to assessment, he felt that his current level was fully qualified to be the principal of this school, and he had never done anything shameful in front of this kitten before. The matter ~IndoMTL.com~ is therefore straightforward.
"So what is your conclusion?"
Reiner shrugged. He suppressed the urge to pet the cat and looked into the other person's big amber eyes.
Cats, uh, Mona's eyes turn into slits during the day, looking quite cunning, and Lady Freya is no exception.
"You are qualified, meow, that's why I will reveal my identity in front of you, meow."
Mrs. Freya said quite proudly. She was sitting on Reiner's desk, standing with her front legs crossed.
So now, will she tell herself what secrets this academy actually hides?
Reiner thought, but Mrs. Freya yawned and continued.
"You're going out next, right? It just so happens that I have someone I want to visit in Olmsted. You can take me there by the way."
