Chapter 100: Soul Contracts

"Are you sure you can afford to be so carefree? What if a weak Soul Beast consumes it? It will be bound to you forever."

In Astralious's eyes, Elias was someone that was ignorant about the ways of the world. He didn't know so many things, that should've been basic knowledge for a person his age that came to the Academy.

Looking at the carefree boy, he wondered if this was one of those cases where Elias didn't know about the risks associated with getting a useless Soul Beast as their first contract.

"Nothing like that will happen. The bead needs to have my blood, in order to initiate the contract. Even if a Soul Beast consumes it, it'll be useless without my blood."

This was the explanation that he had received from the Painter when everyone was given these crystal beads.
