Chapter 35 - Meeting
Foody the food lover did not even try to taste the pill. He swallowed the pill and slowly, the pill entered his system and his body warmed up. As the warm feeling courses through his body, his whole body shone lightly.
[Foody advanced to Tier 2] the default system notified Lucas. As the light dimmed, nothing else happened. Foody and Glaide were not as lucky as Fury. They did not get that 10% chance of evolution. Lucas was not disappointed with that. The chance was too low and he knew it was hard to get them.
Tier 2 pets were more than enough to make him a full-fledge tamer. It was the lowest Tier a tamer should have based on the Petrian standard. He had two Tier 2 and Tier 3 pets. It was more than enough for him to stand toe to toe with many other tamers.
As the Tier advancement finished. Foody opened his eyes and tried to feel the changes in his body. Even so, he felt nothing. He looked disappointed. He looked at Lucas with a sorry expression as if telling Lucas that he had failed.
"You cannot feel the changes because your stat is still the same as before. The maximum has increased but your current stat did not. There is no need to feel down. Once you train your body, you will become stronger," said Lucas and he petted Foody's head.
Foody looked at Lucas and nodded determinedly. "Let's go. We will start our training now. Soon, there will be a lot of winter events happening. We need to power up fast and participate in these events. We need them to promote our nursery and I need to gain many achievement points for school too," said Lucas.
Foody stood straight and saluted Lucas. "Kii!" he answered sternly. Lucas got out of the room with Foody walking behind him. The living room was dark as Hailey and Katheryn had gone to sleep. Foody was looking around curiously.
They went downstairs towards Room No 3. They got inside and they were met with the massive screen. The screen was showing many pets undergoing training. Fury was one of them too. Even if the nursery had closed for business for the day, the nursery was still operating normally. Sery would be the one overseeing everything at night.
"Kii…" Foody was amazed by the massive screen. He never saw something like that in his life. He was curious about the massive screen. He could see that there were rabbits, tigers, beetles, and many other monsters fighting or walking aimlessly on the screen.
"You will go through the same thing as them," said Lucas. He thought that Foody was amazed by the training done by other pets. However, the truth was, Foody was amazed by the screen. He did not mind the pet's training at all. He was only curious and amazed by the screen.
Once Foody had watched enough, Lucas brought him to the dungeon. Both of them were teleported by Sery and arrived inside the dungeon. What they saw was the view of the grassland with a few trees around.
Lucas was used to this view but this was Foody's first time in the dungeon. Lucas thought that Foody would be curious but he looked normal. He saw a few fruit trees around and glanced at Lucas. He had the face of asking whether he could go see the fruits or not.
"We need to start training soon. You can go but no more than five minutes," Lucas gave his permission but since he already knew that Foody could easily get enamored with food, he gave a time limit. He could not let Foody get used to him being lenient and set up some rules immediately.
Foody nodded and immediately ran to one of the trees nearby. Foody had never entered another dungeon and thus, he never knew of the tree. Even so, he was used to fruits and meat, and thus, he did not get entranced by the new fruits too much.
Lucas opened his system and summoned Glaide from the card. A massive Green Condor appeared in front of Lucas. Glaide opened her eyes and glanced at Lucas. She gave Lucas her respect by nodding once and went back to her prideful demeanor.
Glaide looked around and although there were no changes to her expression, Lucas could feel that she liked the place. Glaide was a bird and birds loved open areas a lot because they could fly freely. She wanted to fly in the air but decided to wait for Lucas's order.
Although she did not fly to the air, she did distance herself from Lucas and spread her wings. Once her wings were spread, she looked much bigger and menacing than before. A light wind blew and Glaide closed her eyes to enjoy the breeze.
Lucas did not stop there. He called Fury back into the card in the system and summoned him back in front of him. All tamers could summon their pets easily no matter the location of the pets through the card.
A football-size white fur ball appeared in front of Lucas. Fury opened his eyes and saw Lucas. His eyes turned to the crescent moon as he was happy to see Lucas after a few days. He had been training in the dungeon for almost a month (dungeon time). He missed Lucas a lot.
Fury hopped towards Lucas's arm. Lucas caught Fury and hugged him. Fury seemed to love the hug from Lucas. "Fury, I am going to introduce you to our new members. They will be your juniors," said Lucas while holding Fury.
Fury glanced at Lucas and then, towards Glaide who sat silently by Lucas's side. She had just finished enjoying the air and stood there like a statue. She felt Fury's glance and glanced back at Fury.
"Glaide, this is Fury," Lucas lifted Fury for a bit to introduce him to Glaide. Glaide looked at the white furball without any emotion. "He is your senior," Lucas added. Glaide nodded towards Fury and then, she turned her gaze back somewhere else.
Fury nodded back but Glaide did not see it. Fury frowned but turned cheerful again a second later. "Glaide is the most junior out of you three," Lucas explained and Fury nodded. "Foody! Comes here, I am going to introduce you to your senior," Lucas shouted towards one of the trees nearby.
The tree rustled and a monkey head got out of the leaves. That was Foody. He saw Lucas with a white ball on his hand. He had this face that said 'that must be my senior' and got down from the tree. He ran quickly towards Lucas. Once he got in front of Lucas, Foody immediately stood straight and saluted Lucas.
[He loves saluting you. Where did he learn that?] Sery sounded in Lucas's mind.
After he was done with his salute, Foody stared at Fury. "Foody, this is your senior, Fury," Lucas introduced Fury. Foody nodded lightly and he stood straight once again and gave another salute to Fury.
Fury stared at Foody's demeanor and nodded. Although he had no idea why Foody saluted him, he knew from Foody's reaction that his action was not a bad one. Fury nodded lightly. He wanted to salute Foody back but he had no hands.
"Fury, Foody, Glaide, starting today, all of you will be my pet. We will fight together and become strong together," said Lucas while smiling. Fury nodded while he was held by Lucas. Foody salute Lucas and Glaide glanced at Lucas once and lightly nodded once.
"Soon, it will be the last month of this year. During this month, there will be a lot of events happening all around the world. Our target is not all the events in the world. We will be participating in the events that are happening in this district. We will participate in the events that are suitable for us and try our best to win those," said Lucas.
Lucas had a determined face. He had his aim for participating in the many events that would be happening. The first would be to promote his nursery. The second was for the achievement points.
He would be in high school in a month and throughout his life, he never had any achievement point. Without these points, even if he passed the lowest stage a tamer should have before entering high school, people might still look down on him because he had nothing to his name.
The trio heard that and they turned serious. They knew that their master was taking this matter seriously and they could not play around in this matter.
"The three of you will undergo intense training and I hope all of you will do your best in your training. The chance of us winning is low but I want us to do our best in these events. Even if we lose, I want us to lose with flair and dignity. I don't want us to be pathetic when we lose," said Lucas while his sight passed through the trio one by one.
"What we will show to the public is the image of this nursery. You guys are the representative of this nursery. Let's do our best and show everyone that our nursery is capable of training all kinds of pets to the best of their ability," said Lucas and he clenched his fist.
"Kii! Kii Kii!!!" Foody shouted with vigor.
"…" Fury had always been silent but his eyes looked serious and full of fighting spirit. Also, as the senior, he needed to be the best and showed the best results too.
"Kyu~~~!" Glaide who was the most prideful out of the three shouted with vigor too.
Lucas was pleased with their reaction. He nodded and smiled.
[Your pets listen to you a lot. They must have like you a lot] said Sery.
"You listen to me a lot too," said Lucas while smiling.
[…] Sery was speechless. Immediately, a mission was issued.
