'The only variable that I didn't calculate is the compatibility on a behavioral level.'
Noah thought as he went back to his area to deduce.
Gender, aptitude, cultivation level, Noah had already made sure that those fields matched when choosing a slave and a magical beast.
Yet, it seemed that the fusion would always encounter some form of rejection when he started to affect the most internal parts of the human body.
That led Noah to think that he had to find a slave and a magical beast that matched on a deeper level, meaning that even their personality had to be similar.
'This is quite troublesome, magical beasts don't really have a personality and I'm working with slaves that had been trained to serve a master, any trace of their real behavior might be already gone forever.'
Another hurdle appeared in front of Noah.
Bt then, he had become used to the procedure, he had just to tune those details to succeed.
'For the magical beasts, I can only use my instinct to classify their behavior in human terms. As for the slaves, I guess I can only ask them.'
Noah sighed when he reached that conclusion, human interactions had never been his strong point after all.
The next day, Noah went into the underground area where the slaves were kept.
The area seemed larger now that only thirty-six slaves remained, Noah carefully examined each one of them before deciding who approach first.
The slaves had gazes devoid of life, the screams of their companions and the cries of the chained beasts didn't affect their mood in the slightest.
Noah couldn't help but curse at that sight: Those slaves seemed to be well-trained but, for what concerned his situation, that quality was actually a disadvantage.
"What can you tell me about yourself?"
"What do you like the most?"
"Describe yourself with a few qualities."
"Do you think of yourself as an aggressive person?"
Noah asked those questions as he interrogated the slaves, he wanted to create a complete profile of their personality before resuming with the experiments.
Luckily for him, the inscribed chains binding the slaves forced them to answer Noah's questions honestly.
Even if their personality had been suppressed or almost broken by their training, Noah was still able to pick up some clues and to create a general profile for each slave, he had just to match each one of them with a corresponding beast now.
Noah knew that each species of magical beasts had a different behavior: Some species were more aggressive, others were more reckless, others were canny, many qualities could distinguish them.
For example, Fire wolves liked to form large groups but they were quite disorganized and reckless in their behavior.
On the contrary, Lightning wolves formed less numerous packs but had better teamwork and could even combine their attacks.
The way Noah saw it, Fire wolves would be a better match for naïve and insecure cultivators while the Lightning ones were more similar to humans with a noble status and good training.
It was considering those small details that Noah decided the next slave and magical beast to fuse and resumed his experiments.
