SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Silver Leaf City's Commercial Street is bustling with business filled with vibrant ergy and glowing colors. The street stretches out before visitors, lined with an eclectic mix of shops, stalls, and roadside vdors.

As the fire Kirin gracefully landed on the g, the blazing fires that once sured her extinguished, leaving behind a sse of awe and wonder among the bystanders. Teagers and childr passing by stopped in their tracks, their eyes widing with amazemt as they pulled out their sky orbs to capture the magnifict creature before them.

Kt, undeterred by the atttion, strode towards a towering structure that dominates the skyline of Commercial Street. The structure, resembling a stadium-sized op store on the g floor, hovered in the air.

"Sun Shine Store..."

Kt stared at the name of the store as he approached the trance. The calligraphy of each letter was shaped like an animal pet and was glowing in blazing neon lights.

Inside the store, the atmosphere is bustling with activity as people and their pets browse through the hundreds of stalls that line the g floor.

While staring at differt types of pets and ts of food stalls, Kt tered the pet store. His companion, the lady Kirin, followed him closely as she sniffed the air in search of her favourite foods.

At the trance of the store, a single large stall is managing the needs of regular customers, offering food to common pets like house eagles, sparrows, and doves. However, it's the VIP stalls that catch Kt's eye, each one housing a rare and exotic collection of food items specially placed in the back with eye-catching decorations.

Kt doesn't know much about what Fire Kirin eats. So, he began moving from one stall to another, asking Kirin whether he liked the food item or not.

Sunset herbs, volcanic grass, algal sprouts, elemtal feathers, jelly crystals... Kt showed all types of food to the Fire Kirin. But Kirin died everything by turning her head away.

Kt sighed disappointingly and moved forward to other food stalls. But ev after checking 84 stalls out of 8, Kt did not find anything liked by Fire Kirin.

The salesgirls inside the store tried to spd more time with Kt by showing him all types of food items.

Wherever Kt passed, the onlookers began gathering a to see his new pet. Some people ev dare to touch it. But the lady Kirin, breathed fire occasionally to fd off the onlookers.

Kt felt a headache dealing with the onlookers, and the salesgirls also began asking annoying questions about his backg and idtity. Controlling his frustration, Kt continued his hunt for food.

Just as he was feeling the urge to place the Fire Kirin in his bracelet, Kt heard a soft feminine voice calling from his back.

"Young master Kt... Is your pet a wild Kirin?" A lady wearing beautiful clothes and elegant matching jewelry asked Kt in a respectful tone.

Kt instantly recognized the dashing beauty before him. She is Lucy Gray, the heir of the Gray family. Like a drowning kid who grabbed a wood piece, Kt hurriedly moved towards Lucy.

"Yes… yes… By any chance, do you know what type of food Wild Kirin likes?" Kt asked while staring at her beautiful face of Lucy, which is glowing under the shade of neon lights.

She smiled at his question and replied, "Follow me. I knew where to find good food for your pet."

While Lucy is speaking, Kt stared at her baby pink lips in a mesmerised state and followed her like a baby kitt.

After coming out of the big crowd, Lucy mounted her White Swan and gestured for Kt to follow her closely. Kt, with his fire, flew beside her to the 3th floor of the Sun Shine store.

"Young Master Kt, I humbly welcome you to the SunShine store. Tell me, what type of food do you want to buy for your pet?" Lucy Gray asked, expressing her cheerful smile.

Kt felt surprised after seeing her change of attitude. "Miss Lucy, does this store also belong to your family?" Kt asked while observing the food items placed in separate containers all a the 3th floor.

"Yes, young Master Kt. Usually, I will spd most of the time here, as I like seeing differt types of pets and treating them in emergcy situations." Lucy replied while walking in front, and Kt followed her closely.

Kt tried not to stare at Lucy's swaying long legs, as her every move was breath-taking to watch from such a close distance. "Ms. Lucy, don't call me a young master. I feel very foreign." Kt replied, trying to act casual.

"Th you should also stop calling me Miss from now onwards." Lucy smiled gtly and continued. "First tell me, what type of foods do you need for your pet?" she questioned before approaching the Fire Kirin, which is hiding behind Kt.

"I don't ev know what type of food a Fire Kirin eats. I really need your help in this matter." Kt replied, facing Lucy, who is trying to approach his pet. But for some odd reason, the Fire Kirin moved away from Lucy and hid behind Kt.

"It seems your Kirin didn't like me." Lucy said as she stopped her act of touching Kirin.

"Please don't mind its behavior. I just got this Kirin in the morning, and it still needs time to adapt to our vironmt." Kt replied with an awkward laugh.

"Th at least you should command your pet to obey me... I want to examine its body to assess its age and health condition. It's okay if you don't want me to do it." Lucy asked Kt pleasingly, as she really liked the Fire Kirin and wanted to touch it dearly.

Kt rubbed his head with an awkward laugh. "Sorry, Lucy, I can't do it." Kt replied with a helpless smile.

"Why…? You don't like others touching your pet." Lucy asked with a confused look.

"That's not it. I don't have absolute control over its behavior as it is not linked to me through a blood contract. It just acknowledged me as its master." Kt replied while controlling the Fire Kirin, which is rubbing its head on his back.

"What?!" Lucy exclaimed in a shocking gaze as she couldn't believe what Kt just said.
