The pet master

Small note: if you don't know who Lazarus is the please go back to the previous chapter.

Most probably because of my mistake when I repeated most of the chapter three times, you might of ignored Lazarus small POV.

It's fixed now, and I am very sorry about that.

Wish you all a great day.

......

When the train stopped at the next station, police officers entered to investigate and gather testimonies, while repairs were made to the train. Thankfully, the train stayed in place for less than a day because the damage was not significant.

Jamie took the chance and went out to get Max's skill scrolls, while Lucy forced Max to wait next to the train entrance.

But a surprising turn of events took place.

After Jamie gave Max the skill scrolls, they went to hangout while enjoying good coffee as usual, but Jamie received a phone call from the security bureau informing him to report to the nearest police station within the next 48 hours, otherwise he will be in trouble.

After Jamie made a few phone calls. His face darkened.

"Big Brother Max, this should be our farewell. I called a few friends and I seem to be going to jail for some time."

"is it serious?"

"I don't think so. If it was serious, and they had something on me, I would have been arrested instead of receiving a phone call. "

Max just nodded.

It was clear to him right away that Beatrice's helpers were involved, likely investigating the situation and causing trouble for Jamie out of anger.

"well I'd take my leave before the train starts moving."

Jamie stood up and shook hands with Max.

He didn't blame Max because of his going to jail or something, completely the opposite. He is grateful.

If not for Max, he wouldn't have accepted such a shady business.

And indeed this business got him in trouble, but after Beatrice was killed, he received a huge amount of money from Julio as compensation.

It was enough to bribe the train staff and to fix whatever minor damage was made to the train.

What's left after that is still a huge amount for Jamie. Even if he had to go to prison for some time because of it.

it's still worth it.

Max smiled and shook hands with Jamie. "well goodbye and good Luck Jamie."

"by the way, I am sorry I can't work on your laptop, but I will sand you a detailed video. It will show you how to uproot all surveillance measures on the laptop."

"Thanks, but don't worry about me and go, the train is starting soon.".

.... As Jamie left, and the train started. Max went back to his cabin.

While Lucy sat on Max's head while holding a big scroll, trying to decipher how to use this skill scroll, Lucy continuously flipped it around, but nothing happened.

For a moment, she considered that Max was trying to trick her as a payback for the paint thing. She couldn't help but give him a few suspicious glances.

Max went inside the cabin and took the rest of the skill scrolls out of his space ring.

"come on Lucy let's do it, pick one first".

Things like skill scrolls can have a burden on the mind. So max plan to use only one every 12 hours.

Lucy flew around, not in excitement but in confusion. 'how to pick?, all the same looking.'

Max laughed, feeling her confusion. "Lu, just pick at random. You'd learn them all in time."

Taking her master's advice, she just picked one excitedly.

Max took it from her hand. "alright Lucy, stop flying, and stand still."

There are three kinds of situations to expect when using a skill scroll.

first is a perfect success, the pet or person learns the skill successfully.

second is a complete failure, the skill scroll is wasted.

Third is somewhere in between. The knowledge is stored in the brain, and the necessary changes for the body to activate the skill have started, yet for different reasons, this skill didn't activate.

later on there is a chance the skill will be activated with time or completely forgotten.

But Lucy had E-rank spirituality. Max didn't worry about wasting any of the white-grade scrolls, as for the green one there's a good chance of success over 60%.

Opening the scroll in hand, Max recited the activation incantation on it.

The scroll broke into sparks of green light and slowly integrated into Lucy's body.

Lucy was shocked, then calmed down and felt her new skill.

Looking at Lucy's stats on the simulator, Max was happy because it was a success, but his smile faded as he received bombardments of mental messages from Lucy.

'Useless, useless, useless'

Lucy felt incredulous. This thing is much weaker than her Misty Mountain. More importantly, this skill cannot even be used without vegetation in the surroundings.

'where do you expect me to find trees here, on this metallic beast?'

"what did you expect? That's a white skill. Plus, it will be of great use to you, trust me Lu".

Max felt helpless. The skills he picked was made to complement Lucy's [Mountain Ruler], and [Misty Mountain].

but unless in mountain form, Lucy can't see that.

After a long round of explanation, Lucy finally calm down and chose to believe in Max.

"alright let's go watch the new Anime together."

Lucy jumped in happiness. Max didn't like to watch TV that much, so she usually watches alone.

Having a Max showing her made her incredibly happy.

Max smiled, looking at the excited Lucy. 'so easy to satisfy.'

Turning on the TV, Max played the new anime modified by black lollipop (ruthless Mountain Overlord).
