Heartbroken but Contented
[BONUS]
"How did you even acquired a pet?" From the looks of it, it was definitely a pet. Did she use some sort of special item that let her have one?
Ren had never heard of any item like that, though. Besides, pets were exclusive for the Hunter and Animist class. There were exceptions, of course, like Pii, who was a special pet, to begin with.
Mages couldn't have pets, but some could have familiars or form pacts with beast. The difference was that, pets were companions, so they didn't require mana to cast, and they could even travel together with their owner. In comparison, a beast acquired through a pact would only appear upon being summoned, which required mana depending on the beast's tier.
"I didn't," Evie answered. "This thing is a Djinni. Apparently, a Blue Mage can become a Djinni Master in the end. Do you know about it?"
Ren was surprised when he heard the accusation in her voice. He was also genuinely surprised by hearing what she said.
