Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection-Chapter 297:Classes

"As you can see, the best way to approach an animal is to walk slowly and calmly, not to invade its space aggressively, because they might perceive it as a threat to their life or habitat. We must remember to respect them, after all, they can think for themselves as well."

"So, they are like us, Teacher Catalina?"

"You could say that, but the more logical answer would be to treat them like children. Of course, there are factors that can change this way of thinking, such as when an animal has a higher rank, making it more intelligent than a lower-ranked one. This is why some higher-ranked animals refuse to make a contract with us. After all, it would be like taking away their freedom. In these cases, it is best to have something that would benefit the animal, tempting it to make a contract."

"Any examples?"

"Good question. Normally, animals sense people in different ways, like sensing life mana or a large amount of mana within you, which makes our flesh more attractive to them. However, there are very few cases of attacks on humans. Through their eyes, they can see our soul. It is not well understood yet, but there is a hypothesis that when you make a contract with an animal, it resides in your soul. This is the most logical explanation. Some experts say that the best way to make a contract is for your soul to be attractive enough for the animal."

"So, that’s why only a few have contracts..."

"What you say is correct. Due to these unique preferences of animals, there are few animal tamers..." Professor Catalina cast a quick glance at Estefany, who quickly turned her head to avoid the teacher’s sharp gaze.

"Having a good soul is vitally important for making a contract. It is the most effective way so far."

"Are there other ways?" a girl raised her hand.

"Of course, there are. Another factor animals consider is the magical affinity each of you possesses. An example would be my own case; my magic is a derivative of ice and water, commonly known as snow. My contracted animal has the same affinity as mine, making us highly compatible. However, this doesn’t mean anyone with an equal affinity to an animal can make a contract. As I mentioned, they are very picky. They will look at you from every possible angle and decide for themselves."

Professor Catalina was sitting calmly on a branch: "There is another factor to consider."

"Bloodlines. Animals are very sensitive to this matter. They can sense what kind of blood runs through your veins just by looking at you. It’s a basic instinct they have. Depending on whether your bloodline is strong enough, you can attract or scare away animals. An example would be Daniela or Eleanor; both have a mythical bloodline belonging to the Phoenix. This animal is a bird, so it is most likely that a flying animal will approach you. Another example is the young Dragon. His case is very special. Having dragon blood in his veins can scare most animals in this area. Only an animal with a high bloodline can withstand the same bloodline. This can also happen with Angela and a few others."

"For now, you will have to wait for your other classmates."

"Did she just tell us we are the lowest class..." some students murmured dejectedly.

"As you can see, this area is very different from the previous one. Here, you can try to make a contract if you are lucky. Go in groups if you wish. You have a week to attempt this before moving on to the next area. Do not forget what I have just taught you. Respect the animals. If you have a confrontation with one of them, it is better to run. If your life is in danger, defend yourself and kill it."

Waving her hand lazily, Professor Catalina closed her eyes.

"So, where are we going?" Charlotte asked, looking around curiously.

Frowning, I also looked around at a place full of mountains, a rather strange prairie. If I had to describe it, it was a combination of prairie and tundra with many trees. The path we arrived on was from the north, so... closing my eyes.

"We go south." It’s better to move forward. Looking back, Emily had already left. She was going with Alicia and the others.

Looking back, I saw Estefany and Persephone along with Matías... they got along well within a few days. Not bad. With a smile, I took Charlotte with me, moving through the shadows, and we both arrived.

"How about we go together?" I said with a smile, but my eyes were on Estefany. I could use her as bait to attract animals.

"Can I join you?" A delicate and soft voice sounded right behind me... her golden hair fell freely over her back, her beautiful golden eyes shone like stars, looking with a charming smile at Estefany.

"She’s thinking the same thing as me, right?" I thought to myself. The woman right behind me was Angela. She also had her eyes on Estefany.

Honestly, using that poor girl as bait seems a bit bad, but with the teacher’s words, I worry that I won’t be able to make a contract. Besides, she also said that in this area the animals aren’t that strong, but I still want to have a rough idea.

Estefany nodded with an innocent smile, unaware of the thoughts of these three people. Yes, Charlotte was also thinking the same as the other two.

Poor Estefany, the group of six walked together towards the south.

"Do you have any idea what kind of animal you want?" I asked Angela curiously. She nodded with a smile.

"I want something very cute." That’s what she said. I can’t understand what kind of cute she means.

Apart from Angela’s strange words, the place where all the students were had become empty, even Professors Athena and Catalina had disappeared.

"I suppose in some way they will be protecting the students."
