Chapter 7: Section 7: Testing Phase
"What the hell happened to that little devil's head?"
As soon as Colin pushed open the front doors of the Church, he saw the bandages and gauze on the head of the little devil he had brought back yesterday. He turned his head to glance at the Mowish princess who had stayed behind yesterday, "Dear Margaret, can you clear up my confusion?"
So, the elder sister told an embellished story about why Malin's head ended up wrapped like a turban.
"You're saying this kid drew blood from that girl's tail, ignorance truly is fearlessness, huh." Colin shook his head, thinking that considering the temper of cat-people, this kid was lucky to be alive; it must have been a beating, "He must have been hit, right?"
"No, he was bitten." The elder sister chuckled and shook her head, signaling that Colin's guess was off the mark.
"Bitten, pfft." The young Carterburg supervisor nearly laughed out loud—Panso cat-people often retaliate when threatened, ranging from grabbing any handy object to striking directly, and if circumstances allow, using their mouths is also accepted.
Of course, not just anyone is graced with the 'privilege' of being gnawed on the head. Usually, only their kin or friends are indulged by the younglings in such a manner. In between retaliation and confusion, the youngling's first instinct is to bite, then decide based on the situation whether to bite a second time or abandon further attacks.
"Speaking of which, how did this little devil get his sister to forgive him?" Colin looked curiously at the little devil lying on his own sister's lap; the two kids were simply sitting and lying on the sofa, which made Colin, an only child, a bit envious.
"Using the interest from his prize money advance and the third-party usage rights of his savings card, he's a truly good older brother," said the elder sister in response.
"Yeah, a good brother indeed." Colin smiled and then approached the youngster, "Malin, in half an hour we'll start the spell formation check. What kind of magic do you hope to have a high affinity with?"
