"Ivy, Ivy Kaga. I like it." Said Kane. He even went ahead and gave Ivy his family name.

"Your opinion doesn't matter. Ask her if she likes the name Ivy." Said Corey. She seems to have taken a liking to Kane's new toy. It looked like she was about to throw a tantrum that she wanted one too. If not for Ivy being an origin card, she would have.

"Krek kek krrk kerr" said Kane's summon, which Kane translated as, "She says she likes the name, and my opinion matters to her."

"Great, Ivy Kane, it is then. Now let's go through some of her abilities, especially the shape-shifting abilities you asked for." Now we do the actual tests to see whether the origin card I created was able to meet the additional requirements of sensitive nature made by the client.

Ivy has proven that she has sufficient combat powers by transforming Kane into every girl's wet dream. Now what she needed to prove was whether she was everything Kane asked for in a blow-up doll.

"Here, take this." Kane handed Ivy a flask of blood and asked Ivy to use the blood to display her cloning and shapeshifting abilities.

"Wait, who's blood is that? And why are you carrying it on you?" Corey asked, pointing at the flask of blood that Kane passed to Ivy. I, too, was curious to hear Kane's explanation.

"The blood in this flask belongs to my grandfather's secretary. I got her consent to use it. Don't worry. She gave me her permission, fully aware of what I would use it for.

After seeing Ms. Vivian's origin card at work, I had a hunch that I would require this, so I prepared it prematurely. And I was wise to do so." Kane explained that knowing I was going to make use of Vivian's blood clone rune in the creation of his origin card to provide it the ability to shapeshift using the target's blood, he had borrowed his grandfather's secretary's blood to test the skills of his origin card later upon its successful creation.

It didn't come as a surprise to me that this kid had thought so far ahead. After all, he had decided to create his origin card in secret so that his bully's grandfather would not blame his mother or grandfather for canceling their origin card appointment. If not for his timidity, he would have been quite popular in his high school.

"Kerh!" Ivy opened the flask containing the blood and swallowed it in a single gulp. And then she pointed at the warehouse floor where a tree root broke through the concrete floor and branched out of the ground. Soon the tip of the wooden branch grew a blood-red bud, which blossomed into a blood-red flower in no time. The flower shed its petals as it matured to form a fruit that lengthened from the size of a grape to a tennis ball and then to the size of a watermelon. It did not stop growing until it grew 1.2 meters long in diameter.

The 1.2-meter-long fruit was similar to a big red grape in appearance. A fragrance filled the warehouse as the fruit wiggled and ruptured as a humanoid figure tore out of it. The humanoid looked like a female human with golden blonde hair and blue eyes. She had a pale white complexion and wore a tight bodysuit made out of the large green leaves. The tight bodysuit emphasized the female clones' S-shaped figure from the sides and hourglass body from the front. Though the female clone was alive, she was void of expression, similar to the dead. Her eyes were blank. They lacked the curiosity that Ivy showcased after her birth.

"Is that her, your grandpa's secretary?" I asked Kane as I did not know what his grandpa's secretary looked like, but looking at the clone in front of me, I felt Kane's grandpa knew how to hire a secretary as this one is smoking.

"You tell me, boss." saying that Kane forwarded a few compromising images of his grandfather's secretary to my grimoire.

"The clone is a perfect copy. Don't tell me you got these pictures with her consent too." I said, looking at the pictures that Kane forwarded to my grimoire.

"Yep. Otherwise, I couldn't have captured her beauty from such excellent angles." Kane replied with a positive answer.

"You grandpa and grandson pair, sure know to live it large," I said, reconsidering certain aspects of life. And then, thinking back to the original topic, I asked, " How much blood of the target does she require to create one of these clones?"

"Not much. According to Ivy, the blood in the flask should be enough for her to create ten such clones. The only drawback I noticed is that the realm of the clones depends on my original realm." Kane explained. But he didn't know that there was another considerable drawback.

The drawback that I was talking about was that Ivy could not record the target's blood after devouring them once, like Vivian's Elder Druids could. The Elder Druids could record, remember and recreate the target's clone/fairy guard without injecting the target's blood for the second time.

I think this difference when Elder Druid and Ivy make use of Vivian's blood clone rune exists because Kane wasn't the true owner of the blood clone rune. But this difference can be overcome by baptism upon realm promotion and Kane comprehending blood clone meaning of blood rule.

"Can the clones speak? Or do they also have a malformed vocal cord similar to Ivy?" Anna asked. Because if the clones can't speak, they can not be called perfect clones.

"No, they too can't speak." Answered Kane dejectedly.

"Don't worry. I think Ivy undergoing baptism a few times should help her develop her vocal cord." Though Ivy was able to retain the human form, Her body was a little different from a genuine human body, for example, her green complexion, her sharp pointy ears, and the underdeveloped vocal cord. They are the differences I know of, and one of these differences had shown up in clones she created, the underdeveloped vocal cord.
