Li Pu was surprised by Senior Sister Jiang's arrival.

But her purpose was somewhat predictable.

At this moment, Senior Sister Jiang was sitting at his desk, patiently teaching the little treant to read.

The strawman and Bo Bo were there too, one sipping cola and the other munching on a carrot.

Gun Gun the turtle was nowhere to be seen. Li Pu asked the strawman and learned that Gun Gun had been speeding again last night.

However, thanks to previous experience, the strawman and the little treant quickly escaped with Bo Bo and didn't get caught.

Gun Gun, on the other hand, was caught on the spot and detained.

As for its owner Wu Guinan, he was lying in bed moaning.

This morning's [Sprint] class was ultimately missed by Li Pu, so he wasn't able to witness Wu Guinan being punished by Li Fan.

Anyway, he only knew that Senior Sister Jiang brought Wu Guinan back while looking for him, or else Wu Guinan might not have crawled back to the dorm yet.

After a brief tidy-up, Li Pu followed Senior Sister Jiang out of the dorm, heading to East Wilderness Ridge.

Bo Bo, following along with the strawman, caught Jiang Guiju's attention.

In fact, she was interested in this little girl in the kangaroo onesie from the start, because she was so cute.

At first, she thought it was a summoned creature from another dorm visiting, so she didn't pay much attention.

But when she heard Li Pu say it was his second summoned creature, she was dumbfounded on the spot.

Actually, after summoning Bo Bo, he realized that he might be a bit too eye-catching.

Just being a Summoner for a month and already having a second summoned creature was a bit against his usual low-key style.

Fortunately, he knew that although such situations are rare, they are not unprecedented; he had heard of someone contracting a second summoned creature in just ten days.

He didn't make up any lies because Li Pu knew it was really hard to keep such a thing hidden.

Moreover, after some time together, Senior Sister Jiang had been quite caring towards him in daily life, and with their frequent interactions, they had built a preliminary trust, so confiding in her wasn't a big deal.

Nonetheless, Li Pu asked her to cover for him temporarily, not to spread the news for the short term. He believed that the principle-abiding Senior Sister Jiang could certainly do that.

"You, this guy, really are something..."

After recovering from her shock, Jiang Guiju looked at Li Pu differently.

It's said that some Summoners have talents specifically related to contracting.

Such as lowering the mental threshold for contracting or enhancing affinity with wild magical beasts to increase the success rate of contracts.

As for the information she heard from a thorn rat about Li Pu healing by beating, she wasn't very surprised.

Because dual or even triple-talented Summoners do exist, and considering Li Pu's dual power, Jiang Guiju thought having two Summoner talents wasn't particularly strange for this remarkable guy.

After digesting her emotions, the two set off again.

The campus was still the familiar one, but Li Pu was rather unfamiliar with the road leading to the East Gate.

This area was mostly the activity zone for senior second-year students, so he hadn't really been here before.

"Senior Sister, is the area outside the East Gate much more dangerous than the one outside the South Gate?"

"There's even a lookout tower here."

As they approached, Li Pu pointed ahead.

Next to the school gate stood a four or five-story high lookout tower, the surface black-looking, not sure if it was made from special material or coating.

The terrain of East Wilderness Ridge doesn't have as many trees as the southern forest to obstruct views, so standing on a lookout tower four or five stories high can give you a good view.

He believed that building such a tower next to the school gate was clearly to guard against magical beasts.

"East Wilderness Ridge is indeed more dangerous than the southern forest, but not excessively so."

Seeing what he was referring to, Jiang Guiju smiled and said, "But strictly speaking, that thing cannot be considered a tower."

As her words fell, Li Pu noticed that the tower seemed to sway slightly.

An earthquake?

This puzzled him a bit, but after carefully sensing, he detected no vibrations.

"You know the ground-listening beast at the South Gate, right?"

Jiang Guiju said again, "That is the East Gate Tower Eagle, which is as famous."

"I see."

Li Pu nodded, "So you're saying inside this tower resides a powerful summoned creature, right?"

"No, take a closer look."

But Jiang Guiju shook her head.

[Screech~]

Just then, the black tower unexpectedly emitted a melodious yet sharp bird call.

Then Li Pu saw the tower's peak suddenly starting to rotate...

"What the heck."

Seeing the truth, he involuntarily exclaimed.

Turns out, the so-called Tower Eagle wasn't an eagle living in the tower, but an eagle whose shape resembled a tall tower.

At this moment, its head turned to look in their direction, its sharp eagle eyes swept across them and then withdrew.

"Actually, the purpose of the Tower Eagle is the same as the ground-listening beast, to monitor any disturbances near the school gate."

"But unlike the auditory-based ground-listening beast, the Tower Eagle excels in capturing information through sight."

"Eagles are naturally possessed with excellent eyesight. Coupled with its extraordinarily tall form just standing on the ground, it can perform its duty quite well."

That's how Jiang Guiju explained it.

"But..."

Li Pu listened, feeling something was a bit off.

Because if it was said to resemble a lookout tower, that seemed normal.

But if they said it was an eagle, wasn't its shape too tall and skinny, a bit distorted and ugly?

"Can it fly?"

So he asked.

Jiang Guiju: "No, it can't."

Li Pu: "… I figured."

In the world of Summoners, it's full of oddities, and there are always some unconventional summoned creatures beyond conventional understanding.

"By the way, besides that, there is another big difference between the Tower Eagle and the ground-listening beast, you know."

Jiang Guiju continued her introduction, but Li Pu was no longer interested in listening.

"This Tower Eagle is said to be left by the previous Gatekeeper."

"As for that gatekeeper teacher, he has already passed away."

"When a Summoner dies, the contract with their summoned creature is automatically dissolved."

"So, strictly speaking, the Tower Eagle is a... magical beast."

Li Pu: "Oh?!"

The simple word "magical beast" reignited his interest.

This guy was tall, imposing, and extraordinary. Most importantly, it had a lot of eagle feathers, making it seem like it would be fun to pluck.

"Does this eagle have a good temper?"

"Can strangers touch it?"

"Does it shed feathers often?"

"What does it like to eat?"

A series of questions tumbled out from him.

Now I've got money, so bring it on!
