A swirling white void opened up.

Within it emerged a radiant creature with pure white furbrilliant 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 bodylined in blackit 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.'

[Additional Information]

A Grand Beast that resembles the Rabbit on Earth, but possesses great power despite its cute appearance.

[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."

"Shhh! It could be a girl."

"Either way, it's too adorable!"

'That little guy can rip most of you to shreds in a single hit!' Rey's thoughts screamed as he fought to stay composed.

He looked beside him and noticed Adonis staring intensely at the creature.

Rey couldn't help but smile and nod.

'At least one of them knows just how strong the Summon is.'

He cast his gaze to Alicia, who had begun the 'Bonding' process.

'You did well, Alicia.' Her determined expression caused his heart to skip a beat.

As she pursed her lips, breathing heavily while sweating and maintaining eye contact with the Grand Summon, he silently wished her the best.

'That is a fine Summon. Perfect for someone like you.'

*******

"Haaa"

Alicia leaked out misty breaths as she blocked off every sound that caused her to lose concentration.

Her gaze was only on the Grand Beast, and it also looked at her with its seemingly innocent eyes.

Alicia could sense it, though.

This Grand Beast was anything but innocent.

'It's strong! Stronger than I am by far!'

It could probably kill everyone in their classexcept for maybe Adonis and a few others.

She didn't sense any kind of malice from the rabbit-looking Beast, but she still couldn't afford to fail in 'Bonding' with it.

Her Grand Tamer Class naturally had five Privileges associated with it.

The Window that showed all of them was open right beside her, though she could not as much as glance at it at the moment.

[Class Privileges]

~ 10 Starting Base Stats for all your Stat Areas

~ 4+ Subsequent Stat Point for every Level Up

~ Animal Friendly Effect can be activated (No animal, whether domestic or wild, will ever be hostile to you)

~ 'Bonding' will be applied to any living creature you wish to contract with or command. This will make them connected to you at all times, and they will be your loyal subordinate until the 'Bond' is terminated by you.(Bonding can only be used on creatures who have a lower or equal class with you)

~+100 Stat Points for Mana Level

[End Of Information]

It was all thanks to her Class Privileges that she could command such a creature despite it being much stronger than she was.

Her Status Window by her side displayed just how strongor rather, weakshe was.

[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?'
