A month after, First Day at School.
Kai was woken up early by Karen, which he is used to because he is the one safekeeping their shop. He did his morning rituals as usual and wore a light green uniform with a dark green tie and black shoes.
The moment he came out of his room, his mom squealed. "Kyaa! You're so cute!" she said while squeezing his cheeks.
"Mom, shtop it hurtsh." - Kai
"Okay, sorry I'll stop. Come here I'll tidy you up." - Mom
While Karen is tidying him up, she is also instructing him on what to do and what not to do at school. "Remember Kai, some of the kids who will be schooling with you is from rich families, if you can try not to have a problem with them ok? Try to be more accomodating of them if they're rude to you."
"Okay!" Kai understood what his mother is saying. He actually asked some of his older friends who went to school early what to expect, and was horrified by how unreasonable the rich kids in their story was. However, having the chance to pick his familiar from the breeding base of the school is enough reason for him to still attend it despite the dangers.
Healing beasts are rare, even if they are common grade they can be thrice the price of other type of beasts. Even if there are healing beasts in the market there are too few to choose from. On the other hand, breeding bases have a lot of beasts of the same type on an exclosure, which gives him a lot of choices.
"Lastly, never tell anyone about your abilities Kai ok?" Karen solemnly said while finishing Kai up.
"Of course Mom, I'll never let anyone know even if they're my friend," Kai reassuringly said, which made Karen smile fondly.
*Beep**Beep*
"Come on, your school bus arrived," Karen made Kai stand up and guided him towards the bus, when he got on she said while waving her hand, "Have fun sweetie."
"Mm, I will." - Kai
Kai got up the bus and looked around, he saw many kids around his age on the bus, but none of them has the same uniform as him. He found a seat by the middle where no one is seating yet so he hurriedly sat on the window side. After he is seated, the bus moved again.
Kai felt out of place because there was no kid on the bus with the same uniform as him so he felt a bit down. A few minutes later though a girl a bit smaller than him with the same uniform boarded the bus, he was overjoyed so he called out to her immediately even though he didn't know her. Fortunately, the girl was also happy to sit with him.
"Hello! I'm Kai, Mom said my classmates will have the same uniform as me so I hope we can be friends!" introduced Kai while offering his hand for a handshake.
She took his hands and shook it then also introduced herself, "Hello! My name is Angela, I also hope we can be friends."
After the introduction, they engaged in idle talk, like why did they choose their school. Kai wanted to be a doctor, while Angela wanted to be a battle healer.
A battle healer is a beast tamer that uses their familiars to support and heal their teammates in battle. Even though Kai didn't use his ability on the other kids on the bus, because he didn't find the need for it, he wanna know how talented his new friend is so he looked at her status screen.

Kai was amazed with how good her talent is, it not only attacks and debuffs opponents, it also heals allies. It's the perfect support talent, the only downside is she can't move while her talent is active.
However, Kai knows that no matter how good her talent is, she will be seen as not so talented, because people don't know about talents and her Max Level is just average. He decided that he'll help her raise her Max Level without her knowing, he'll treat her as his first customer before he opened his store in the future.
(Author's Note: Kai got his first customer-ish yay!)
