(June 14, 2113)
Morning came. At the Academy training area where a very wide field with lots of battle stages surrounds the area, all class 1-G students were all gathered in one battle stage. "Attention students! Today is the day to show off your guardian beast and each must give each own performance! I'll score you individually depending on my satisfaction! So Without further ado, let us start! I'll call you by 2 pairs and each pair have their performances. Then let us start for the first pair, student Max and Fie Fie on the stage.." As the teacher called them by pairs, the students also go inside the stage and performed. They showed their guardian beast like a bull, lion, wolf, etc. "Next up, Ikeda Kai and Hwan Blaike on stage now!"
Blaike then entered the stage, next to him is a male elf. Fare light skin, undercut red-orange hairstyle, orange eyes, thick eyebrows and lashes, pointy nose and very thin lips with elf's ears his overall look is a very good looking boy wearing the black and orange uniform. * Hhhmm... If I remember correctly, this classmate is the laziest and very Talkative in our class, he always napping, talking nonsense and doesn't listen to our teacher too. But I know this guy is one of the smart students in our classroom... I'm curious Just what kind of guardian beast does he have? Blaike judged him by observing him during their class hours. "Hey, genius boy! Wanna bet who has a stronger guardian beast? Is it mine or yours, so how we battle it out?"
"...." Blaike just stared at him without answering and then he looks at the teacher. "Aarrgghh you're no fun!? Sensei I want to have a battle with him! Please let us have a match!" He shouted eagerly. "Well, if your opponent agrees then we can have a battle between you both. What can you say Blaike-kun? You do know the rules, right? Since you are one of the Top Genius Student, how about it?" *I know this will happen since this guy keeps eyeing on me and he's the type of person who loves fighting. Then how about letting me test what he is capable of...* "Then Please take good care of me classmate Kai-kun." "Woah!!" "His voice is so freaking adorable!" "Heaven... I'm in Heaven!" Their other classmates were so obsessed by Blaike. "Shut up!" (Splash!) Teacher Sophia stopped them while splashing her whip on the ground.
"Let's have a good match genius boy!" The two immediately go to their position. "Okay, everyone! Let us witness the two little kids in having their match! Please observe and learn from them. Student Kai are you ready?" "Yes, Sensei!" "Blaike-kun ready?" Blaike nodded. "Then let the battle begin!"
"Prepare yourself, genius boy! I will show you how strong my guardian beast is! Here we go! [RYU]! Come out!" His tattoo from his left shoulder showed a red marking light, and then suddenly from the sky it's getting darker and darker and a gigantic image rush towards Kai's location, it then landed in front of him, "Waah!!?" "Wow!?" "Is that his guardian beast?!" the students saw in front of them a big winged fire dragon. *This student... So that's why he is so eager to fight the genius Blaike-kun, for he has legendary guardian beast after all. Then let us see what kind of guardian beast might Blaike-kun have? Is it also a legendary beast too?" teacher Sophia got startled a bit but she is more quite curious about Blaike's guardian beast.
*Wow! A Dragon!? It's my first time... Wait, it's my second time seeing a dragon other than the dead Dragon back in the dungeon! But this one is quite smaller than the one I saw before. Hmm... Is it weaker than I thought?* Blaike immediately called out his Guardian Beast. "[Hailleon] come out!" As he calls out his guardian beast, a tattoo from his right chest lights up a color of smokey snow mark. The air then changes and getting colder, and the wind blows a figure of a fox beast formed coming from his back and then it then flows circularly in front of him. Then transformed into big wolf size three-tailed snow-fox and its appearance is much bigger and stronger than before.
"Wha..what its that?!" "I never have seen this kind of creature before!?" "Its a snow-fox!? A snow-fox from the legendary book says that the more Fox has tails the rarer it is to be found!?" The students got confused and mesmerized by it. *What?! This Guardian Beast is not a legendary but a rare type Beast. But it's an evolved type which means, It can be the same as the legendary type beast too... That snow-fox is an evolve type beast! It's even more powerful if it will evolve into its final form! Blaike-kun is not just a genius person but also a blessed one!? But still ice type has a disadvantage from fire type, I guess I know who will win on this round...*
"Hahaha! Even though you also have a very rare guardian beast, mine has a fire type and yours is an ice type so that means you are at disadvantage here! Hahaha....." "Hailleon is popular eh? Such a good boy." "Gark gark!" "Hey! Are you even listening!?" Blaike didn't mind him and got so focused on Hailleon while petting it. "Tsk! you will be paying for not listening to me! I'll start my move! Ryu, use your [DRAGON FIRE BALL]! And attack that them!" As he commanded his guardian dragon, it then followed him and made a fireball using its fire breathing. "Dddrraaahhh!" As the dragon throws the fire at Hailleon, Blaike also started his move.
"[FREEZE]!" The fireball has been instantly dispersed and also Kai's whole body and his guardian Dragon were suddenly covered with ice. "Huh?" "HHEEEHH?!" All the students and even the teacher got shocked and speechless. "Arra.? .. Bl...Blaike-kun won?" Blaike then walked out from the stage and headed to where the comfort area is located. They were quite confused for a second but they immediately cheered for him and congratulated him. *He just finished it in one move?! I guess I have mistakenly miscalculated his power... Now I know how strong this kid is...* "Aaarrrgghhh!?" Kai got mad and couldn't believe it. *He is so strong!? How can it be?! My Ryu is much stronger than his beast! I need to train more and more and pay him back!?*
Morning class was done, Blaike stopped by in the library. As he entered he saw the librarian keeper. An old woman, older than Mr. Dean Alatar. She wore an old fashioned blue-gray dress having a white bun hairstyle. "Excuse me, grandma, I would like to borrow books about summoner's Insignia and legendary beast book." "Hmm?... Little child, may you give me your ID card?" Blaike gave his ID and she then put it on the machine. "The books that you were looking for is on the third floor, section G and section S." "Thank you, grandma." He then headed into the stairs and walked up. "Hhmmm?" The old woman got confused when she tried to feel Blaike's Energy Aura as if she saw nothing any special and just Plain ordinary Aura. As Blaike landed on the third-floor area, he then find where section G was, as he walked through, he saw very few students that were different from the first and second floor.
*Hhmm, so the students that are on the third and fourth are the top geniuses? Oh. There it is.* Blaike then tried to look everywhere, for a book about a SUMMONER's insignia. He saw some old and new books. "This one is about [Summoner's Cultivation Ranked], [Summoner's Cultivation Techniques] and [Summoner's Journal]. Hmmm, I don't need this, I'm looking for something more interesting to read." He then looked at the very bottom and saw a very old book with a burned part. "Hhmm what's this? It's so small yet very thick. [the first LEGENDARY SUMMONER's JOURNAL]!? Do they have this kind of book? This is interesting, yet no one even touches this for decades now? Then let me read and study this book, it may find some secrets and interesting things about my Insignia."
Blaike then walked into the other section. "Hmmm, let's see... I need a book with more superstitious and based on some assumptions matter...." As he looks everywhere, he saw nothing but just advanced book and historical facts. So he still keeps looking at the other side, yet still didn't find what he was looking for. But when he looked on top of the bookshelves he saw a very small part of a very thin scrapbook, he then jumped and took it. After 10 minutes passed, Blaike was now walking towards the counter, "Hello again Grandma, here are the books that I want to borrow." He then gave it to the Grandma librarian. At first, she just doesn't care about any books that have been borrowed but when she saw those titles.
*A journal of [THE FIRST LEGENDARY SUMMONER]? [OBSCURE CREATURES]? These books are incomplete and not very famous nowadays, but he is interested in these kinds of books? This kid has a weird taste...* "Here, you can give it back anytime you want and also here..." She gave another book that also looks old and scrappy. "Read these three with a better understanding of it, who knew, it will give you some tips and new knowledge that none even knew. Now go before your afternoon class will start." "Oh yeah! Thank you, Grandma! Then see you next time!" Blaike immediately walked out. *That kid is very odd... But interesting to watch for.* She then smiled with an interesting look.
Afternoon's lesson starts, "Today's topic is all about the familiar beast. The familiar beast is like a guardian beast, you can summon them and they will protect and help you, but a familiar beast is just contracted beast, if they die, they will no longer be in your care and you cannot summon them back. That is their differences, so you better take note of it and find a beast that suits you well and takes good care of them. Now let's talk about where should we get a familiar beast, actually all the animals and beast in the forest can become your familiar beast if and only if you captured them, by defeating them or have a contract with them. The problem of a contracting form is harder than defeating the beast. Did you get that, students?" "Yes ma'am." "Ma'am I have a question." "Yes, student FeiFei?" A student human girl with maroon curly hair and maroon eyes and wears eyeglasses asked. "I just wanted to know, that if ever we want to contract a beast, how can we do that and are there any requirements for that?" "Yes, of course, contracting a beast you must first get its heart by having a good connection to it. Once the relationship gets a little higher, you can now use a drop of your blood and the beast must drink it and then the contract is done. The good thing about contracting a familiar beast is that they will automatically be leveled up. Do you now understand?" "Thank you, ma'am."
"Another question? Hmm... If none then let's move on to our next topic. This time let's talk about the Beast ranking. Rankings can classify the beast's age and it's a rarity. There are a total of Five Rank of a beast. the first one is NORMAL BEAST, they are the beast commonly seen everywhere around the planet and can only live for 100 years and below just like the cat and dogs. Second is the RARE BEAST, they are the beast who you can only see in some part of a place and can only live for 1,000 years just like my guardian beast. The third one is the LEGENDARY BEAST, they are the beast where you can only see once or twice in a blue moon and they can live for about 1,000-10,000 years just like the student Kai's Fire Dragon and even Blaike's Snow-Fox too. The fourth one is the HEAVENLY BEAST, they are the beast from the Heavens and they can transform into a humanoid Beast and can understand humans, but cannot speak human and they can live for about 10,000-100,000 years. And lastly is the MYTHICAL BEAST, they are a humanoid beast that has been Blessed by the gods and goddesses, they are the beast with the human brain, which is they can talk and even write, can live for about 100,000-1,000,000 years. The difference between the Mythical beast and the Hybrid/half-blood species is their Powers and forms. This is the hybrid can use Insignia Form while the Mythical beast doesn't have Insignia but they have their ability power. The mythical beast also is extinct rather than the Hybrid which they have family and clan. Lastly is about their appearances, the mythical beast is a more unique creature like the hybrid that is more human-like. if you want a stronger beast, you must first know its age, but be wary because the older the beast the harder you can get it if you are still this weak. Questions?"
"Yes, I would like to ask if a normal or rare beast, can they become a mythical beast?" Blaike asked, "well, uhmm... It actually can't because there are no records in the history or legends about it. Normal and Rare Beasts can only become a legendary beast but cannot become a heavenly or even mythical one, as per what I have heard too." Teacher Sophia explained what all people know. *But according to the superstition book that I've read, there are plenty of rare and legendary beast that became heavenly beast but they were killed by the humans, for they thought that the beast became evil.*
