The snake's cute eyes were glowing with intelligence. It was not hissing, nor did it coil in threat. Instead, it lifted its head, gazing up at her as though acknowledging her presence.
Immediately realized what was going on… "A familiar… Hmm… Spirit Beast?" she whispered.
The snake's tongue suddenly flicked, tasting the air, and for a moment she felt its aura brush against her own. It was faint but unmistakable…
It was the resonance of a contracted beast, one that did not belong to any ordinary student.
She crouched slightly, studying it. "You're not wild… you came here for something?"
The snake tilted its head, as if in agreement, then slithered forward just enough to cross the threshold of her office. Its presence was calm and strangely dignified.
Anya's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "So… What are you doing here?" She asked, though she prepared herself just in case she needed to escape.
