Cecil stared at the blue window that was not trying to act like it was kidnapping him.
Well, he could smell the blood of the Chimera he had killed, and felt a bit wierd.
Not exactly a bit.
He didn't exactly have a choice for selecting his class.
"Mastermind"

[31 unclaimed Level Up rewards]
Cecil could just get a build that was focused on one stat, or gamble on 31 boxes, but he chose balance.
Why?
Because 100 in all stats is better than 400 atk and 0 spd.
What the fuck was he Even going to hit when a bicycle moves faster than him?
"All stats +1"
[30 unclaimed Level Up rewards]
"Do I have to say it 30 times?"
[Yes]
"I hate my life."
————————
After saying 'All stats +1' 30 times, Cecil finally looked at the Chimera' corpse.
"So I just leave it here?"
Cecil was genuinely clueless.
What is one supposed to do with a corpse?
Store it in his pocket?
His trousers would get dirty.
...
Shit.
I sound like a binder already.
"I uh,

That's not very professional.
Then Cecil's thoughts became serious.
Having a Level 80 beast that fights for you is good. And it could probably level up too.
"System, if I animated the corpse, will it still level up like it did when it was alive?"
[Yes]
This is huge.
But there is still a problem.
Will this qualify as Necromancy?
The Vatican became much stronger after mana appeared.
And The one thing they hunt for sport is Necromancers and Necromantic creatures.
The Vatican is one of the 5 Global superpowers, and It has its reach even in Cyan Garden Academy.
He might sleep after animating it, and then never wake up.
There is an element of risk.
Unless...
"System, Can I store the animated Chimera like my Daggers?"
[
Unless the Level difference between you and your object is too large, you can.
]
"How much is too large?"
...
"Damn okay. Thanks.
The Lion head snapped its eyes open.
The Eagle talons curled.
The Elephant legs streched.
The Serpentine tail lashed again.
[Achievement Unlocked]

Five
Hundred
Candies
appeared in front of Cecil.
They were in a few colors.
Neatly scattered in a perfect circle.
[
Would you like to name your Chimera?
(increases bonding)
]
Cecil looked at the now standing Chimera again.
It looked at Cecil eagerly, the serpentine tail lashing at a particular bar of its cage.
Cecil walked towards the bar that was being pointed at by the Chimera.
There was a keyhole in it.
Well, he could just use his Rose Gold to morph into a key and open it,
Cecil scratched his neck, and felt something tangled in his collar.
It was a small drawing pin.
Cecil threw it away.
Useless.
Back to the lock.
Cecil recalled the Rose Gold and Morphed it into a thin rod, and inserted it in he keyhole.
After a second, he turned the key, and the bar disintegrated.
Then the two beside it.
Then the two beside the two.
Wide enough for the Chimera's to slip past.
"I need a name for you, huh?"
Cecil looked at the Chimera again.
Its Lion head didn't look menacing when it didn't scowl.
"Your name will be... Gappy. Because you slipped through the gaps of your cage."
The Chimera's Serpentine tail dooped.
"Uh, okay, We'll go with.. Cyrus. Cyrus."
The Chimera liked this one better.
Cyrus jumped at Cecil, and gave him a bear hug.
"You... Don't even... Have Bear... Parts..."
Cyrus let Cecil go after a minute.
"Okay... Cyrus. I'll be hiding you in my Skill's storage, alright?"
Cyrus nodded his head.
"
Cyrus nodded again.
"Good, good night, Cyrus."
Cyrus purred, menacingly deep.
"
And Cyrus Vanished like he was never there.
Cecil checked the time.
10:27 PM
Oh well, time to go.
Cecil began sprinting back to the Ice pond, and after two steps, collided with a tree.
Which was atleast 10 meters away from him.
"OW—"

Going from 1 to 32 in speed in a minute does shit to you.
Cecil bumped into atleast 10 more trees before managing to control his speed.
His uniform was not torn in the slightest, it actually looked pristine compared to Cecil's exposed skin.
It was a Level 250 armor, so if it tore, it'd be more embarrassing.
Soon Cecil reached the Tier 2 Ice pond again, and Immediately stripped, before jumping inside the lake.
As it turns out, the Tier 2 Ice pond was frigid.
Cecil clearly didn't think straight after suddenly feeling powerful.
He punched the water surface, and all the water about 5 meters ahead parted from the force, ripples crashing madly into each other.
He was pretty sure he couldn't test defence right now.
He just had to wait...
Wait why the fuck is his phone with him in the water?
10:39 PM
So he has about 2 and a half hours left.
Might as well explore the pond a bit.
Cecil looked around, and saw a whirlpool in the distance, sucking water and everything caught downwards.
