Chapter 295 Garden
Putting aside the fact that Estefany became the strongest first-year student in seconds, Professor Catalina was also in shock, though a hint of dissatisfaction could be seen on her face. I suppose she's angry—after all, an unknown person from just a few minutes ago stole a high-blooded animal from her. But with the contract made, there's nothing she can do; the tiger is now bound to Estefany's soul. The only way to snatch a contracted animal is to kill the contractor, but in Estefany's case, this option isn't viable. If she dies, her contracted animals will die too, an unjust fate for those animals. That's why I always say Estefany's ability is a double-edged sword.
According to what she told me, she only had space for one animal in her soul, so her goal is already halfway complete. Now she just has to rise in rank, but with the tiger's power in her soul, she will become much stronger, so ranking up won't be a problem either. Now that I think about it, it's quite an overpowered name, so to speak.
Estefany's complexion was improving as she rested in Persephone's arms, who, by the way, also leveled up. The fate of those two changed dramatically; in fact, the very destiny of the people around me changed. I'm not sure what will happen from now on. From the beginning, ever since I transmigrated to this world, saving Elsa, meeting Lysandra, Ema, the little fairy, Charlotte, and the chosen ones of the artifacts, the main story has changed a lot. The same goes for the original protagonist. I remember he despised Anthony the most during academy times, always intending to embarrass or make him miserable. Because of this, he dies during the siege, but now... I'm not sure what path the story will take. It could be even worse than the original line or better.
I don't regret my actions at all; they were very much for my own benefit. I'm happy with the result; after all, I'm happy.
*******
Estefany, a commoner, always had parents who worried about her. Since childhood, she gave the impression of a girl you needed to protect: kind, cheerful, shy, and charming. From a young age, she had a rather unusual affinity with animals. They tried to approach her but for some reason would run away. It wasn't until one day, playing in the forest, she found an injured bear cub. She cared for it as if it were her own child. One night, Estefany's body shone intensely. The next day, the bear had disappeared. She was desperate, and with her father's help, they searched for it everywhere. In her sorrow, she fervently prayed for her bear's return. A light came from her body, and the bear appeared on the floor.
But there are always exceptions. One of them is the woman still complaining, Catalina, and the other is the girl in front.

We continued the journey into Catalina's garden. There were multiple animals, some quite strange. There was a monkey with six arms and an extremely large armadillo. We reached a certain lake, its waters crystal clear with multicolored fish living peacefully within.
Behind this lake, there was a small structure, with no walls, like a miniature temple. Beautiful vines clung to its posts, flowers, and roses. It was a lovely temple. In the center of it all, there were runes glowing red. These runes would lead us to the entrance of the magic forest.
These runes belong to Catalina; thanks to this, we saved a month of travel.
To avoid overloading the runes, we divided ourselves into groups of ten for the journey. After the first group entered, the next group would wait half an hour. This way, the runes wouldn't explode... and all the students would be able to enter.
