Orio Santers stroked his moustache as he looked fhrough the list Il Ji had provided for him. "Brat, with this set of skills do you even need my help?"
"Honestly? No. I need your name more than anything."
"Bah! Forget I asked. Do you have any plans for the future, short term?"
"Yes. I plan to give the majority of the soulfruits to the members of my Chronos Cup team- a friend, our sisters, and a girl that's like family to us. I then plan to nab skills to take away the issues I'll be presented with by the remainder of the soul fruits I have yet to ingest."
"I now have a wider range of Mythic and Archaic beasts to choose from and trade. Other than that, I also plan to find and contract with an Encyclopaedic-type tool and a Contract-type pet."
"I also would like to attempt to complete one of the Chao City [Myth] Rank Research locations, and start a Myth-Rank Butterfly research area."
"And, of course, we're hosting a small party tonight to celebrate the formation of our team."
"I see." Orio replied. "In that case, go to floor 12 and drop off the gryphon. We'll see if you're right. I thought so once myself, too, but I could never get permission from the Warden Queen." Orio seemed to reminisce. "That is one cold woman."
"Are your friends coming here?"
"Is that okay with you?"
"Sure, bring them. You're my disciple. You've already taken my most valuable possession, haven't you? What's mine is yours."
"Thank you, Master."
"And enough with this master nonsense. Call me Orio! Now. Get yourself outside and fix my fifteen-year long problem. Away with you!"
"Thanks again Orio!" Il Ji shouted while waving as he quickly escaped the angry master.
Il Ji took the gigantic elevator back to the training room, and the other elevator back to the twefth subfloor. He walked quickly through the floor, and managed to find the Gryphon research team fairly fast.
"Hello." The project lead stated. "And you are?"
"My name is Il Ji. I am a tier-5 Creation Master as well as a tier 10 plaque holder for the national Herbarium, Bestiary, Skill, and Token exams. I am also Orio Santer's newest disciple. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
He proffered a hand.
After shaking it, the man seemed uneasy. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'd like to drop a [White Jade Gryphon Warden] in for mating."
The man's eyes shook. "Did you just-"
"Yes, I believe so. It's been fifteen years, though, right? It's always best to check first before celebrating."
"Yes, yes. Of course. Go on. The mating entrance is right there. Drop the gryphon in, and pull the lever."
Il Ji did as he was instructed. Upon opening the outside door to the small room, he let out the smaller, white, beautiful creature. Her pink-ish eyes both enhanced her beauty and even further enhanced her skill, [Pacifistic Aura].
Il Ji shut the door and flipped the lever. Thinking not of the potential uses of [Black Steel Bindings] and [Aura of Dark Tryanny], Il Ji managed to walk away.
"Let me know the results!" He shouted to the side. One of the researchers nodded, and he made his way back to the elevator.
Now that he had shared his findings with fhe High Council, he was free to license his beasts.
Going back to the first elevator, he went up to the lobby. "Hello, Agnes."
"Hello, kid. I heard you surprised the Lotus Queen today."
Il Ji scratched fhe back of his head. "Where'd you hear that?"
"Well, she came back all worried about you, and she wouldn't let me talk until I called Orio, so… I work the front desk, how else would I know? Take your new tag and go. I'm watching a soap opera on the computer."
Il Ji looked behind her and saw the golden identification tag. It entailed in dark, bold letters and engraving of his accomplishments.

As he picked it up, he looked over his shoulder. "Thanks for the ID plate, Agnes. By the way, I have two more beasts to register."
The old lady groaned. "Oooof course you do."
With a hidden grin, he made his way over to the beast identification plate.
