"I know I owe you at least three fish already, one for summoning you and two for the fusion. But do you mind if I at least check out the currently available Assignments before getting them?" John asked the Cactus-Cat whom he had decided to call Thorntail. Since Thorntail walked up to the Message Board, it seemed he didn't mind. After looking over the missions John only saw one he liked. "Hmm minimal risk of having to harm other Ex-Beasts, decent pay and time enough to collect your reward first. What do you say we handle Extra Curricular Tutoring?" Since Thorntail once again didn't object, John accepted it and then headed out to Academmo's private lake.

When they arrived no one seemed to be present allowing John to just take three medium sized fish, that would otherwise be used to feed some of the aquatic Ex-Beasts. After he handed over the (for a desert dwelling cat) rare delicacy to Thorntail, his part of the Contract was also upheld and he canceled the Summon. With that done he headed over to the Gym.
