She looked interested, so he went on.
"I can help you get powerful mediums to summon stronger beings. And with your mana pool, you can form multiple contracts easily. Honestly, your talent pairs perfectly with your class."
Lily nodded slowly.
"…Yeah. When you put it like that, it makes sense."
She looked down at the books in her hands, then back at him.
"But that kind of power will attract attention."
Mike shrugged.
"That's unavoidable. Power always does."
She thought for a moment.
"Alright. I'll focus on necromancy and summoning. No half measures."
"Good choice," Mike said. "Then we'll plan your growth properly."
Lily asked, "What should I do first?"
"First," Mike replied, "learn the new skills. Master control before expanding. Skeleton Knight and Skeleton Grand Mage will already put you above most mages at your level."
She nodded seriously.
"And the drake?"
"Let it grow naturally," Mike said. "Train it as your frontline. You stay behind and control the field."
