Chapter 20 - Finally
"Battle Start!" Sarah announced the start of the battle.
Once Qin Yun heard Sarah, "Raillow, Light Dash," He gave the order to Raillow. Once Raillow got the order, he lowered his body, and his whole body emitted light. Raillow glared at Fury and suddenly, dash forward. Raillow's speed increased tremendously. He was so fast that the dust and soil on the ground scattered about.
Light Dash was a skill of the light element. When the user used the skill, their speed would increase. When they moved, it looked like a line of light was headed towards the target. According to the data appraised by Lucas, Raillow's Light Dash was of Rank 1 Level 3 with an effect of added speed by 20 points.
Compared to Fury's Roll, Light Dash was a far more superior skill. Even so, Fury's Roll was not normal. It was an improved version. Rather than only increasing speed like common Roll, Fury's Roll had two other effects which were attack and center effects. Light Dash could only be used to increase speed.
Raillow was coming fast at Fury but Fury looked calm. He waited patiently for Lucas's order. When Lucas saw how fast Raillow was after using Light Dash, he decided to not fight using speed. Even with Roll, Fury would not move that fast.
Raillow got in front of Fury. Qin Yun shouted, "Raillow, use Fiery Scratch!" Raillow's nail shone in red light which immediately engulfed in fire forming fiery nails. "MEOW!!!" Raillow shouted in excitement and used Fiery Scratch on Fury.
The spectators were surprised to see Raillow's speed and they nodded at how superior a Tier 7 monster was compared to a Tier 1 monster.
"The Furball will have no chance of fighting back. Maybe the fight will end before that young man is even able to showcase the results of training in this nursery," said one of the spectators.
Lucas knew he needed to do something. When Raillow used Light Dash, he knew what he should do next. He was waiting for the right moment. Now, the chance has come.
As the Fiery Scratch was going to hit Fury. "Fur Guard!" Lucas gave his order. In an instant, Fury's fur expanded and formed a big ball of fur shocking everyone on the scene including Sarah and the old butler.
A more shocking thing happened. When Raillow's Fiery Scratch hit the Fur Guard, it failed and Raillow was suddenly blown away by the fur fast and slammed on the ground hard causing the ground to crack.
"MEOW!!!" Raillow screamed in pain. Qin Yun was shocked and he also shouted worryingly, "Raillow!"
"That- that- that-," one of the spectators was too shocked that he did not know what to say.
"A new skill! How can a furball learn other skills other than Tackle and Roll?!" exclaimed another spectator in shock.
"It looks similar to Wool Guard but with fur and the skill looks stronger than Wool Guard," someone with more experience saw immediately that the Fur Guard was similar to Wool Guard. Not only that, but Fur Guard was also better than Wool Guard.
The old butler was shocked too. 'A furball with a new skill. This is the result of training in this nursery?!' His heart beat wildly. 'The power of the nursery system is too strong!' the old butler exclaimed in his heart.
"Welp, I guess the training service of this nursery is true," said one of the spectators. He was convinced that what the nursery advertised was the truth. Not only him, but most of the spectators were convinced too.
There was no need for Lucas to show other things. Just this one skill alone was enough to convince everyone. Everyone knew that Furball was useless but here they saw with their eyes that Furball could fight too.
The battle had not yet ended. Lucas immediately gave Fury another order, "Roll!" With the Fur Guard still activated, Fury used Roll and rolled towards Raillow at high speed. It was fast but not as fast as Light Dash. This scene once again shocked the spectators.
"This is a high-level Roll. It is far faster than the one is usually seen from a Furball," said an amazed spectator.
Qin Yun saw the incoming big roll and shouted, "Raillow! Get up! Your opponent is here! Use Light Dash and evade." Raillow looked towards Fury and was shocked. He tried his best to get up. It was painful when his body was slammed to the ground.
Raillow got up and used Light Dash to evade. Be that as it may, something shocking happened. Fury followed Raillow easily. With Raillow's injury, he was slower and it was easy to catch up in speed but what was surprising was that the distance between them remained the same. Fury was keeping a constant distance between them.
"That is not a normal Roll. An improved Roll!" The spectators were once again shocked. They wondered now, how many other things that Fury could do.
Fury did not give Raillow much chance to evade most of the time as he kept hitting Raillow with Roll with Fur Guard on whenever Raillow lowered his guard. Whenever Raillow was hit by Roll, it would then be thrown away hard thanks to the repel effect of Fur Guard.
Qin Yun's face was getting pale. He kept his eyes on Raillow's health and it kept decreasing whenever Roll hit Raillow. When Raillow was thrown away by the Fur Guard, Raillow's health rarely decreased. Qin Yun understood that Fur Guard was a defensive skill and thus would not cause much damage.
However, he was shocked when Raillow was hit by Roll which was a support skill. Whenever Roll hit Raillow, Raillow's health would decrease. "The constant distance between them is not the only effect of this improved Roll. This Roll can attack too!" Qin Yun clenched his fist and teeth. He was frustrated and worried. He squished his brain trying to think of something to counter Roll.
He could easily order Raillow to attack Fury while Fury used Roll. However, he could not do that because of the Fur Guard. Fury's Fur Guard was the most annoying thing Qin Yun had seen. Its defense was high and it could repel anything that hit it catching them off guard.
Looking at the battle, everyone in the spectator seat sighed. They felt bad with Raillow. No matter what it did, it could not keep a distance from Fury. After that, it was getting hit by Roll. Everyone knew by now that the Roll had attack stat too.
"The Seven Stripes Cat is being bullied by the Furball," said a spectator.
"What a rare sight. If only the Seven Stripes Cat is of higher ranks. It can easily outpower the Furball," another spectator said while shaking his head. Everyone knew now that thanks to the training in the nursery, the Furball was not the weak and useless Furball anymore.
Someone mentioned before that it would not be a fight at all and it was true in favor of Fury. Raillow had no way to gain an advantage in this battle.
"The pet trainer employed by this nursery is seriously at the top. To be able to train a useless pet like Furball to be this strong," said a spectator.
Sarah was looking solemnly at this battle. This battle had already ended. 'Qin Yun is too inexperienced in battle and he is losing his cool too. He is too young. If I am the one battling right now, I can easily turn the table. Qin Yun needs more experience. This fight is a good lesson for him,' Sarah glanced at the old butler.
She could see that the old butler had the same thought too. 'As for this young man…' Sarah was staring at Lucas. 'He looks too calm. I don't think this is the best he can do. I have a feeling that there is more but Qin Yun is too inexperienced to force everything out of him,' Sarah analyzed Lucas.
'I wonder which school he attends? With his grandpa as the top pet trainer and with better pets, he can become one of the best tamers in school,' thought Sarah. Since she saw what Fury could do, she assumed that Katheryn's father was a retired top pet trainer.
[I think it is better to end this fight. I feel bad for that cat] said Sery. Lucas thought the same too. He already saw Qin Yun was on the breaking point. He might end up crying if Lucas kept the battle longer.
"Raillow! Use Lightning Slash!" Qin Yun did not want to give up. He knew that he was losing but he wanted to show everything he could do. Raillow heard the order and used Lightning Slash.
Raillow's right arm was coated with electricity and Raillow swung his arm to slash at Fury. However, Fury easily evaded the skill and hit Raillow once again with Roll. Raillow was thrown away once again. Qin Yun's eyes teared up. This was his first time to see Raillow getting beat like that.
He had been battling many tamers, most of them were his cousins of the same age with around the same cultivation and the same pet ranks. Even so, none of them were able to beat Raillow like this. He felt sad seeing his beloved pet getting beaten like that.
'What skill should I use to end this battle?' Lucas asked Sery. He saw that Raillow was badly beaten and he wanted to end this with another skill that will not cause much more damage than it already had.
[Maybe a single Fur Needle?] Sery suggested. He felt bad towards Raillow and Qin Yun.
'Fur Needle has a penetrating effect. It is too dangerous and it will cause more damage. Tackle is too strong too. Not only that, but it also is a common Furball's skill, so it will not showcase our training effect,' said Lucas.
[Then, Fur Ball is the only skill left but Fur Ball's attack is quite strong too] said Sery. He suddenly came up with an idea. [Use Fur Ball and Energy Control to lower the power of Fur Ball] Lucas liked that idea.
"Fury, use Fur Ball and lower its power," Lucas gave his order. Fury immediately used Fur Ball and controlled the power of Fur Ball and lowered its attack.
Fury stopped his Roll and Fur Guard. Raillow was relieved that Fury stopped the two skills. He thought that Fury was tired. He was hit many times and would lose the battle with one more hit. Seeing that Fury was tired, Raillow thought that he could take a breather and gained a bit of energy for a full power one-shot attack.
However, a ball of fur appeared in front of Fury and he shot it towards Raillow. Raillow was shocked. He wanted to evade the fur ball coming fast towards him but he was too tired and injured to do anything. All he could do was stare at the incoming Fur Ball with solemn eyes. He knew that was Fury's finisher for this battle.
The Fur Ball hit Raillow in the face and Raillow flew for a few meters before it dropped to the ground. Raillow stopped moving. He fainted.
"Battle end! The winner is Lucas!" Sarah announced the end of the battle and Lucas won the battle. Lucas still maintained his calm demeanor and called Fury back. Qin Yun on the other hand was given a big blow. He stared blankly at the fainted Raillow.
The spectators were not shocked by the results of the battle. They had been shocked many times throughout the battle and already knew who would win. Even so, 'Clap! Clap! Clap!' they all clapped excitedly. All of them were satisfied with what was shown. Mainly with Fury. As for Raillow, there was nothing they could say about it.
[Let's heal the kitty for free. I feel bad for the kid] said Sery. He had changed the way he addressed Raillow. He called Raillow 'the cat' before but now, he called him 'the kitty'. Raillow was too weak to be called a cat in his eyes.
Lucas agreed with Sery's suggestion. He walked towards Raillow and lifted him from the ground. He was wounded all over his body. Lucas carried Raillow and walked towards Qin Yun. "Qin Yun, we will heal your Seven Stripes Cat for free," said Lucas.
Qin Yun staring blankly at Lucas. Lucas tapped Qin Yun's shoulder and he was jolted to reality. "Huh?"
"Let's go. We will heal your pet," said Lucas again. He lightly pushed Qin Yun's back to the spectator seat. Qin Yun listlessly walked forward beside Lucas.
The old butler saw this scene and he sighed. 'Young Master Qin Yun is still too young. There are a lot of things he needs to learn. Even so, our visit to this nursery is a huge gain for our clan. A system user. No. A cheat system user! Our clan needs to forge a good relationship with this nursery. All of the cheat system masters are monsters. We cannot make them our enemy,' thought the old butler.
'Clap!' Katheryn clapped her hand once to get the attention of the spectators. Once they were looking at her, with her sincerest smile, she said, "As you can see. My son's furball is not normal. It is thanks to the training done by my father who is the pet trainer for this nursery. All of you have seen that our training is good. I hope no one doubts this nursery anymore."
Everyone nodded. They approved of Pasken Pet Nursery's 'boasting' about their services. It was not boasting but the truth.
"Well, if you want to leave your pet for training, care, or nursing service. Let's complete the procedure at the counter. At the moment, we will only be accepting Newborn Stage pets. In the future, we will accept higher stage pets," said Katheryn.
She added, "Also, for pet training service, we have a limit of one session every four days." Everyone nodded. It was written on the signboard hanging outside the nursery. As all of that was done, many of them went to the counter to register their pets.
The Pasken Pet Nursery was finally running properly.
