Belet looked ordinary, like every other horse but he was smarter and understood better, that was why when he was placed with other horses he acted proud because to him, he was placed with horses that are very dumb.
Meeting beast who had higher IQ, he was joyous as it felt like he could finally relate with someone, he felt in place which to the beast was very wrong. The red long bird that stood beside him kept chirping as he neighed sounding like he had just made a new friend but the four legged beast around him gnarled at him, except very few.
Beast have hierarchy, and mythical beast were very different from ordinary beast. Mythical beast had a strong genealogy and were descent of powerful beast that ruled the world amd made many changes to the world. While normal beast were descent of the weak beast. But a number of times, normal beast have surpassed their limits and prove themselves valuable. But regardless the beast had grades which are classified with how strong they are.
The huge grey lion sat like it was the king of the field, not only it there were other mythical beast that stood there oblivious of the beast around them, it was as though their pride soared the sky. Belet looked left and right and stood oj his own. He stomped his feet and face straight ahead.
"the competition will now begin...!"
-GBAM!!-
The beasts accelerated at the sound of the the drum. Belet dashed at full speed from the beginning. Even though he went at full speed he was barely catching up. It was a 22800m race and they've barely gone 100m yet Belet was already alone on the field, not because he was ahead but because he was far behind. Belet continued to run further, he didn't stop he continued to run but no matter how much he ran he just couldn't even meet anyone.
The crowd laughed, -is this a joke or what?-
-how funny this student must think so lightly of the academy-
-I heard his from the eastern continent-
-of course he has to be, they've never really taken any thing serious-
Different guest shared their opinion as the game was ongoing, eastern student glared at Rein from afar, to them Rein was ridiculing them. Luckily the imperial prince was doing okay, his mythical beast Plesioth was very fast, though it was like a salamander but bigger and was about 5m long, it's leg was swift and it was a beast that was birthed from the wind that is, it's compatibility with wind was perfect. It was the right choice for the race, it wasn't a weak mount but there were just too many stronger ones, articians who have been falling behind before now, saw the mount race as an opportunity to shine, the northerners and easterners were very new to beast taming, many irrelevant articians had too good beast. Plesioth was a grade S beast and was still struggling to maintain 14th position of all 26 beast in the race. The beast ahead was exceptional, a white moon wolf.
Moon wolf were very rare unlike every other wolves they are very proud and conservative in nature, they moved alone and was always more active at night, their white fur shines during the full moon, their huge body set them apart, they were as big as a horse, and they had blue ancients markings on their face connecting to their back, their eyeballs were deep ocean blue and their huge canine teeth protruded out. Every time it stomped the ground shook. Their enormous body was intimidating and no one dared to move against it except it rival of course, the Snow-baron lion.
The snow-baron lion was enormous in size though was inferior in height when compared to the moon wolf, the snow-baron lion based in an ice habitat but could survive anyone. It doesn't just stops at creating a pride of lions, it monopolizes every living thing in its habitat and once considered a mythical beast that shouldn't be killed, not because of pity or beast conservation but because there has not been a record of one being killed, they either die in a battle for leadership or grow very old and die. They were very hard to tame as they would never submit to a weaker being. However if they get successfully tamed they are one of the very few beast that possessed willpower, including moon wolf.
Both of them ran side by side, the Snow-baron lion was ahead of the moon wolf in weight, it used it body against the wolf but the wolf was filled with vigor, both of them struggled with each other as they ran forward.
"Time to go forward Serv..." an artician boy with green hair murmured to himself, but he was talking ti his beast. Not every beast owner was a beast tamer. Beast tamer was a term exclusive to having obtain the willpower of a beast, either in form of beast stigma or beast will. But the thing about beast tamers is they could communicate with their beast through their own consciousness. Even though beast taming was not yet thought in the academy, there are many articians who are already familiar with it, especially the Green-forg. The family of the greatest artician beast tamer.
kweok-
whoosh-
They had run half of the field every beast owner had begin to unleash their trump card. So it was no surprise Serv a grade SR lighteningbeth ran past the two grade UR mythical beast. The two immediately focused on catching. A lighteningbeth wasn't strong combat-wise and had long legs looked exactly like a cheetah but was black in color with yellow lightening marks all over it body. A lighteningbeth could run very fast, it could run faster than the speed of light but it needed to power up. A lighteningbeth uses its owner's mana to power up, so when fully powered its stamina in maintaining its speed which was 3.75×10⁸m/s was strong but the mana drain can be deadly, it could drain the tamer's life force while running at that speed so the lighteningbeth willingly reduces its speed to match the owner's mana capacity. But regardless it took it five seconds to reach the finish line.
-bam-
It was a drumbeat to show that a beast had gotten to the finish line.
Belet ran alone on the field with boos from over the places, 'I never should have put him there...' Rein was beginning to regret his decision when suddenly a bright blue lightening struck from above unto the middle of the field where Belet was.
