Chapter 12

Talent is a crucial part to success, but the effort brought into it can carry you for a long way

Shinji's origin as a "Parasite" goes well with the concept of "life bonding" between dofferent organism. That and combine with the skill "Parasitic nerves" allow me to attach part of myself to another animal and slowly consume it

After several months, the crows I experimented on has started showing signs of intelligent response

You have completed your daily task

- Perfect your familar's movement control

Total point: 455

Sitting in the middle of a room located at the back of a tenple which is situated in the middle of a forest, a young boy breathed out. As he did so, the flutter of black wings greeted him as he open his eye

Dozens of crows surrounded him. Their once dull black eyes are now a shining red, a sign indicative of his posssession over them. Their mind, which was corroded by his will since the first time they conenct, is now but a vessel for the Magus to impose his will on

They were the perfect familiars, as he has found out, crows are more intelligent and flexible than your normal animals

Shinji Matou got up from his bed

"Keep doing what you're doing" I told the crows "One half survey the city. Bring me visuals on anything abnormal that happen. One fourth will guard my Workshop while I'm gone. Don't let Issei or any of the monks in"

The cawed in confirmation., I then gesture toward the final fourth of my familiars

A black hole rippled forth in space, swallowing them into my inventory

+40 [Black Crows Familiar]

Doing this way, I can summon them to my side at any minute

I got up from my sitting position and stretched. The dozen or so books surrounding me were scattered across the floor-- the result of one night of late night studying

It's surprising how the power of magecraft can motivate you to study for once. I bet you no Magus have tried incorporating Magecraft to their convenience before

The ones who did are obviously those with common sense

"Clean up my room before you go" I said to the crows. They started picking up the items as I went and prepare for my day. Donning my uniform, packing my bags, and throw away the batch of Red Bull energy drink into the trashcan. It's the first day back in highschool

Can't wait to meet my friends again

____________

"Hey Issei. Ready to rumble?" I greeted my friend

"Shinji...I don't know how you can be so energetic first thing in the morning" The glasses-wearing boy sigh as he finish his shift for the day.

He picked up his bag from the ground and followed after me. We descended down the stairs from the temple

"It's been a year since you moved to Ryuudou Temple, isn't it" After a moment of walking, he said

"Yeah" I look down

From up here, one could see the entirety of the town below. Tiny houses. Little people. Small pets and animals. Each doing their own mundane thing, ignorant of the mystery around it
