"Alyssa?" Rocky couldn't help but smile at the sound of Alyssa's name. She was definitely going to be surprised at Rocky's sight.
"Mr. Rookie, what's wrong?" Lucilla asked, noticing Rocky's weird expression.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just thinking of the Beast Master Contest," Rocky replied.
"Do you want to be part of the contest?" Lucilla thought Rocky was acting strange. He already expressed disinterest, yet suddenly he was thinking about it. She would have doubted him if not for his earnest expression.
"I don't think I'm strong enough for that." Rocky did not want to be part of the contest. He just wanted to see Woods.
"But Lucas thinks highly of you. I trust his judgment," Lucilla said with hesitation.
"I'm afraid I might disappoint you." Rocky shook his head. "Anyway, it's getting late. You better head back." Rocky directed his gaze to the sky. It was almost dusk. He smiled curtly at Lucilla before heading back to his room. Lucilla was left alone in confusion.
"What a mysterious guy! I have a feeling he's hiding something. I've never seen anyone quite like him. No wonder Lucas found him special," Lucilla muttered under her breath as she left the Osmanthus Yard.
As soon as Rocky was back in his room, Juey showed up.
"Mr. Rookie, where have you been? Why are you so late?" Juey asked.
"Nowhere," Rocky replied, shaking his head.
Juey asked Rocky something about the surgery. They talked until deep into the night.
When Juey left, Rocky entered the Magic Spiritual Space.
He'd been staying with Juey for a few days so he wasn't able to release the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. That creature lost its patience easily. As soon as it saw Rocky, it ran excitedly towards him.
"I know you feel bored here, but you have to stay for a few more days," Rocky spoke as he patted the unicorn. His heart sank at the sight of its pitiful eyes.
Robin, the beast cub, also ran towards Rocky and smothered him. It was growing fast and was much taller than when it first arrived at the Barren City. It now reached Rocky's chest.
After playing with the two beasts for a while, Rocky went into the laboratory. As usual, he started to study the red egg of Uriah.
Rocky had tried many things just to figure out what was hidden in the red egg. He even tried the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill but without any success. He was almost certain the egg had something to do with Uriah's resurrection.
