Reincarnated Cat Becomes a Magical Beast

Swish!

Three boxes, identical to the one from before were pulled out from Jonathan's bag of holding and placed delicately in front of the little kitten, whose eyes lit up with excitement once more.

Two out of the three boxes were duplicates of the first box while the final box differentiated itself by being a sky blue colour. Jonathan started with the two normal, wooden coloured boxes first and opened their contents simultaneously.

With the lids of the two boxes peeled off, the little kitten could see that inside these boxes were the same azure blue stone and books that she couldn't read once more.

"These two spells are especially used by Magical Beasts! The first spell is called the 'Ravager Armour' spell. As you can imagine, this spell is a defensive spell that will bind its user a protective armour. This spell can use two elements to fuel it! Earth and Metal. The spell is strongest when used with the element of Metal, but to create an armour of metal that can surround your whole body can by rather tiring. Though with your small stature, that shouldn't be much of an issue; that's why this spell is perfect for you! Also, just cause this spell is a Late stage spell doesn't mean you can't attempt to learn it now. You'll probably be unable to use Metal fully in the spell, but with the help of using Earth you could make a weaker but still strong version of the 'Ravager Armour' spell. Got that?"

"Meow!" The little kitten let's out it's usual meow. 'So the first one was a Magical Art with several spells split up into five realms while this is a singular spell that provides great defence... With just these two I could probably... Not die in a battle with another Magical Beast or Magician at the same level, maybe. Sigh... This guys quite something, I might not even become their Tamed Beast and he's still willing to pay for all these spells. I didn't see how much they cost, but they couldn't have been cheap...'

Before her thoughts could progress any further, Jonathan's voice woke her from her stupor.

"Good! The next spell is called 'Celestial Claw' and is actually the first spell in a Magical Art! However, that Magical Art is quite rare and costs quite a penny. For now, the first spell is good enough to greatly increase your offensive capabilities! The Magical Art is called the 'Celestial Wind Arts' by the way, so if you ever find good fortune and come across more spells from that Art or even the Art itself, definitely vie for it!"

"Meow!"

"Now onto the last box!"

When he said this, Jonathan proceeded to point to the final box which was painted blue like the sky.

"The colour of this box signifies the rarity and the worth of this item. This isn't just for items in the 'Howling Paragon' but is a universal concept. Items have three colours that show off its rarity. Blue is a normal rarity, next is purple and the most rare is Gold. A good thing to know is that the higher an items rarity doesn't correlate to it's power. Items are first ranked with the following ranks: Dull, Vibrant and Pulsing!

Dull Magical items are for Magician's of Natural State and Foundation Rank or for Minor and Major Maical Beast Rank! Vibrant is for Inner Haven and Spirit Rank or Minor and Major Transcendence Rank! And finally, Pulsing is for the Magician's and Magical Beast's beyond... Anyway, as you can tell then. This item is a Dull Magical Item of blue rarity!"

"Meow..." The little kitten's eyes were spinning after such a long explanation and she couldn't help but take several seconds in thought to process everything. 'So items are ranked as well. Dull, Vibrant and Pulsing?... These three ranks correlate to the items strength, while the colour ranks Blue, Purple and Gold correlate to the items rarity!... I see...'

"It's a lot to take in, I know. You'll come to understand this as time goes on... Well, you'll have plenty of time to let this all settle and learn much more!" Jonathan smirked.

"Meow!"

"Now then, let's open this up!" As Jonathan opened the final box the little kitten could see that the insides were much the same as the other boxes with the exception of the book, which was now also a blue colour. On the book was the phrase 'Arrows Shattering Sky Arts', though of course the little kitten remained ignorant of this much to her growing frustration.

"This little lass is another Magical Art! This Magical Art has 5 stages. Starting at the Late stage of Minor Rank up to Late Minor Transcendence Rank. Once again, this art can be used by both Magician's and Magical Beast's. However, this can only be used with the metal element due to the nature of the spell. In this magic you will form various arrows of different strengths and numbers to attack your enemy or even to defend. In each stage there are various spells, in the first stage alone there are two spells. The differentiating factor of these stages is different for each advancement of stage, it can be an increase in the number of arrows you can create or the creation of a special type of arrow. You will naturally find out when you study this art...

Now then, I think that's everything. Little lass, it's very late and while a Magician's and Magical Beast's aura can be used as a source of energy to fend off hunger, thirst and tiredness, it is still beneficial for us to sleep because it revitalizes the mind. And when learning magic, you obviously want to have your brain in it's best condition. So go to sleep before you even attempt touching any of these Echo stones! Got that?!"

"Meow..."

"Nuh huh, don't give me those eyes. To bed!"

The little kitten could barely sleep at all that night as her thoughts wandered from working through all she had just learned and her excitement for the future.
