He glares at Wuk. "I know you want to know how strong you had become after your evolution but please don't go attacking our own allies and friends!"
Wuk shrugs his shoulder and the staff disappears, Fabuki also calms Aerial down.
In their journey to the Institute of Evolution, Fabuki continues to look at him, she can't believe that a superior grade gold rank mystique creatures with draconic bloodline would be intimidated by a mystique creature lower rank than itself.
"I know you want to ask some questions but I don't have the answer for them yet, Wuk just recently completed his evolution and since I had him pursue a variant evolution, no one truly knows what he's capable of." Sean pats the trembling back of Yana and looks at Fabuki to explain.
This is the first time Yana takes a flight and she's very scared, if it weren't for him, she might had become a trembling mess.
Fabuki nods her head in understanding, this is also one of the tricky points of variant evolution, only the mystique creature can know it's abilities and it can only operate them instinctively.
Some abilities are unique to them, not many are like this but those who have are tricky to train.
Jasmine was envious of her brother, she thought that she can finally catch up to him, only for him to skip the bronze rank and ranks up to silver rank.
Both Sean and Wuk looks at the Sun, unbeknownst to everyone, both of them are absorbing the yang energy of the sun like plants trying to convert energy by photosynthesis.
"We're here!" They arrive at the place, Sean and Yana were speechless.
They were not in awe but because of the distance between their home and the place.
It was within walking distance! Why did they have to fly in a dragon to get into this place!
The Institute of Evolution is within the Federation! The Federation is quite close to their home!
Fabuki proudly lands her dragon at the front of the Federation.
Sean looks at her strangely as they enter the building.
Fabuki leads them inside, they went through multiple rooms Sean had never seen before.
When they arrive at a certain gate, Fabuki glanced at Sean and says. "Take out that old man's name card, I can enter without needing any verification but it's different with you two."
Sean nods his head and the guards looks up the name card, once the verification was completed, they escorted them inside.
With a flash of bright light, the two seems to enter a brand new world.
"So the rumors were true." Sean mutters, presented in front of them was a large facility, as big as a small city!
The Institute of Evolution was truly situated inside a secret realm, no wonder he had never seen an evolution planner in public, they are all holed up in here.
"I know where that old man's research place is." Fabuki leads them inside, Sean hurriedly follows her.
With a place as large as this, finding the old man is definitely difficult, he was glad that Fabuki came with them.
The appearance of Wuk garners some attention, it's because he looks like a beastman, a humanoid type sentient being that like elves, can be contracted by humans but they can also sign a contract with other mystique creatures.
Elves and Beastmen are like humans, they can sign a contract with mystique creatures but unlike humans, they can't just sign a contract with just any mystique creature but so, their strength are a lot stronger than humanity itself.
Beastmen are born at Vital Realm and their physical prowess is typically stronger than humans by twofold.
Elves, on the other hand, are born with long lifespan and are intimate with spiritual energy since birth, they can harness elemental energy themselves.
So Wuk's appearance is quite rare, he's also wearing an armour that covers his entire body, the design was quite intricate.
Beastmen doesn't wear armour not use any weapons, they only believe at brute strength.
"Excuse me sir, can you let me study your beastman?" Suddenly, one of the people present approaches them and asks.
Sean shakes his head, Wuk frowns and glares at the person.
"I- I'm not not a beastman!" Wuk shouts.
Sean freezes, so did Yana and Fabuki, the rest of the people were nodding thinking that this beastman might had lived in human civilization for a long time to be able to learn their language.
"You can speak!?" Sean exclaims.
Wuk gestures to him, he doesn't understand at first but after a while, he gets the gist of it.
He can speak now that his body has transformed but he's incapable of coherent speech just yet since he's still getting used to his body.
He was speechless, if no one knows him, he can definitely pose up as a Beastman.
"Oh my god, no wonder that eccentric old man wants to meet you, how are you able to achieve such a thing?" Fabuki was gobsmacked.
Sean scratches his head, he also wasn't able to explain it to anyone, what, should he tell them that he has a goldfinger? He won't tell this to anyone, he'll bring it to his grave.
They continue on their way, the people were talking about that strange Beastman that is walking in the institute at this moment.
Mystique creatures can break their contract but almost none does this, except for a few exceptions, the highest ones amongst these are Demons and Beastmen.
That's why it's rare for a human to sign a contract with them, not to mention, the mental burden of contracting a sentient creature is incredibly heavy.
"Finally, we're here, being stared at by everyone is incredibly annoying." Fabuki complains.
Without even knocking, she enters the room, there, they encounter the old man once again, he's talking to a couple young people.
Seeing Sean, his eyes lights up. "Finally, you're here! I had been waiting for you since yesterday, come, come, let me introduce to you my students."
He points at a young girl, probably the same age as Yana. "This is my youngest student, her name is Steffany Evergreen."
Sean was a bit surprised, he can't help but ask. "Hello, I'm Sean, I know this is just the first time we met but can I ask you a question? Do you know little sister Flowery?"
Steffany was startled, she looks at him with a strange expression but she quickly recovers. "Yes, she's my cousin."
Sean nods his head, as he expected, after hearing her family name, he immediately made this conjecture.
Hearing that this person was Flowery's cousin, Wuk looks at her vigilantly and even takes a step back.
"This is my third student, Aryan Knight, you might not know this but the Knight Family is a long time member of the Federation, they nurtured twelve gold rankers since the start of spiritual energy emergency!"
Sean doesn't know the family but still greeted politely.
"This is my second student and also my grandson, Landon Hein, he might look young but he's already at silver rank and two of his pet beasts are also at silver rank."
Sean wasn't surprised, knowing that he's the grandson of this old man, he's bound to reach higher heights.
Landon nods at him calmly, not really putting him at his eyes.
"This is my first student, she's one of the rising stars of this institution, she's as young as Landon but all three of her pet beasts are at silver rank, she's also a silver rank herself but what sets her different is that one of her pet beast is at the peak of silver rank and it's highly likely to reach gold rank."
The old man proudly proclaims.
"The top genius of this institute, Avhigail Witchtress, unlike my other students, she isn't a member of prestigious household but she achieved such accomplishments due to her hard work and intelligence."
Sean looks at the last student with interest, she's the same age as Hina buy she's already surpassed most of her peers.
"Old man, you introduced your students but had you introduced yourself?" Asks Fabuki in exasperated manner.
The old man was stunned, yes! He actually forgot to introduced himself to Sean, the two of them clicks it so well that this slips on his mind.
"I forgot, where is my manners, I am Johnson Hein, one of the elders of the Evolution Planner Organization and a major professor of the Institute of Evolution, patented 12 known evolutions in which, four of them are at excellent grade, managed to successfully evolve at least a hundred mystique creatures!"
He's proud of his accomplishments, he worked his whole life for it.
Sean was shocked by his achievements, especially the 12 known evolutions, in which four are at excellent grade, this wasn't like his who can't be replicated, evolution patents can only be given to an evolution planner if their research is successful and they can induce similar evolutions to three same species of mystique creatures.
"We know how capable you are, old man but can you achieve what he did?" Fabuki suddenly asks with a teasing expression.
The old man finally turns his head to Fabuki and he laughs out loud. "If it isn't one of the Tatsu sisters."
He turns to Sean and shakes his head. "No, I can't, his theory was so groundbreaking that I can't help but feel inferior."
Fabuki clicks her tongue, she then points at Wuk. "You're no fun, old man, besides, what I mean was that mystique creature, that's his former Iron Monkey, can you tell its origin in its current form?"
The old man's eyes lights up hearing that Sean finally brought his pet beasts, he was so focused on him earlier that everyone he comes with fades into the background.
His expression then becomes dazed when he's presented with a large fox as big as a human and a humanoid monkey that is more human-looking than even Beastman themselves.
"They're?" He points at the two and looks at Sean.
"Yes, they're my partners, the fox is Jasmine, since she's a new evolution, I decided to name it myself, she just recently broken through bronze rank but already at the third level."
"I call her race, Demonic Three-tailed Lunar Fox. She's a rare grade mystique creature albeit she seems to transcend those at the same grade that are much higher rank than her."
She lets out a cry, the old man's eyes were shining brightly as he looks at her.
"She looks so smart too, as expected of a mystique creature that came from a Spirit Fox, she's incredible!" The old man praises.
"She exudes grace and strength, she's definitely powerful, isn't she?"
"In fact, they just recently evolved and broken through that I can't fully asses their current strength, I'm here to meet you for the Transformation Grass and also asks a favour to test them."
"Hahaha! I'm more than happy to help you with that, I also wants to know what happened to the Iron Monkey of yours." He turns to Wuk.
"My first partner, Wuk, a former variant Iron Monkey, I pursue the law of variancy in his multiple evolutions and now I get this form, just like my Spirit Fox, I named his race."
The old man agrees with his decision as this is the ultimate honor for people that managed to unearth or found a brand new evolutionary form, the right to name them.
"I call his race, the Sun Born Celestial Monkey, strength is unknown but was able to intimidate Fabuki's gold rank Wind Dragon, intelligence, capable of speech, I just found out, grade, at least Superior but seems to surpass it, just like my second partner, the thing that limits their grades are actually their rank."
"He what!?" All the information Sean just gave was too shocking for everyone inside the room.
"I don't know myself either, he just completed his evolution yesterday and most of his strength is still unknown to me, if I hadn't promised you to bring them here, I would have tested their strength at the inner core at Outside."
The old man was looking at Wuk at awe but suddenly, Sean's words snaps him out. "What do you mean, inner core?"
