There are all kinds of beasts in the enclosure, and because they are raised in captivity and is fed periodically, they are not wild at all. The kids looked at every beast in their surroundings and if they picked their own beast, some school staff will come and capture the beast and escort the student outside to help them contract said beast.
Many kids who are impatient just picked a beast suitable for them, afraid that they would lose out if they picked last, not at all thinking about whether the beast they picked is good or special. Kai and some of the other kids on the other hand observed all the different species and picked the ones they thought of as special.
Angela and Nathan were the former kind, fortunately for them Kai is there to tell them that what they picked isn't good at all. After a minute, the entourage reached a mini pool, unlike the other places in the enclosure it is more crowded.
Kai looked at the status screens of the snakes, birds and plants in the vicinity and was overjoyed to find two beasts that fit his and Nathan's criteria.

Cottonmouth snakes aren't a healing type beast, but a certain crazy beast breeder crossbred a Cottonmouth snake with a Great White snake that is very healing oriented just because he wanna prove that poison can be medicine too and he succeeded. The Cottonmouth snake Variants the Sanar school kept in their facility is the result of the experiment.
The Cottonmouth snake Variants can use their poison to both kill or heal someone, the only downside is that compared to the initial snakes, their poison and healing is only subpar. The good part is that they are the best option for healers who also want a way to defend themselves.
"Nathan you see that smaller snake there? I think you should pick that," Kai whispered to Nathan because they aren't allowed to chat loudly according to teacher Ro.
"Should I? It's smaller than other snakes though, my brother said that the bigger the beast the stronger it is." - Nathan
"Why do you want a big and strong snake? Isn't it cool to have a small snake like that hiding in your sleeves? You can surprise anyone with it," Kai mischievously answered.
When Nathan heard what Kai said, his eyes sparkled and his hands raised automatically while enthusiastically saying to teacher Ro, "Teacher! I want that one!," while pointing at the small black snake swimming in the lake. The staff moved immediately and captured said snake.
"Teacher! I want that white lotus," Kai also pointed at his beast plant of choice.
When teacher Ro saw the lotus pointed at by Kai her expression changed to that of worry, "Are you sure? That Rejuvenation Lotus isn't as good as the other ones, when we tried it's petals it's healing effect is only subpar compared to the others, it's color is the only thing different from the other lotuses".
When Kai heard that, he was surprised, because he knew how much of a treasure it was but when he thought of it, he understood why. Rejuvenation lotuses are also Healing and Production type plant beasts, but what they produced is their petals that can heal and re energize it's consumer. Maybe they thought that the Life Blessing Lotus is a mutated version of it, so they lumped it in with the Rejuvenation Lotuses because both lotuses really looked the same except for their colors.
They also never found out about it's true capabilities because the lake it is rooted in is a bit too large and having the water in it transform into Life Water will take years with it's current level. The best thing is that it is a Pseudo Legendary, Kai inspected many beasts in the five years he's had his ability and one of the things he discovered is that if a beast's grade is a Pseudo grade they are the cream of the crop of their grade and they are guaranteed to reach the next grade.
When Kai rationalized about what might have taken place he was a bit touched that teacher Ro even warned him about it not being as good as other lotuses, even though that's not true. Kai smiled widely and cheerfully said, "It's okay teacher, I want it because I think that it is special and unique when compared to the other lotuses".
When teacher Ro heard that, she knew she couldn't change Kai's mind and just let the staff take the lotus away.
"Teacher, can I still join you? I wanna wait for Angela to pick her beast first before contracting mine," Kai pleaded while flashing his puppy eyes.
When Nathan heard that, he also pleaded to stay and wait for his friends before he also contract his snake.
"*sigh* Okay you can stay, but you cannot pick another beast because it will be unfair to your classmates, understood?" Teacher Ro agreed.
"Okay!!" - Kai and Nathan
After another minute, the group reached a large tree with many bird nests, it was the home of the flock of White Magpies. The tree was full of magpies that either just learned to fly or cannot fly yet. Angela looked at all the different magpies and was frustrated because there's just too many to choose and she doesn't know how to pick an excellent White Magpie.
When Angela almost lost her patience and was about to just pick whatever White Magpie her hand points on a hand lightly taps her shoulder.
Just like Angela, Kai is also looking for a suitable and talented Magpie for her and quickly found one.
*****
Name: N/A ♀
Species: White Songstress Magpie
Contractor: None
Attribute/s: Sound | Light
Type: Healing
Grade: Epic
Level: 1
Skills:
1. Light Speed Sound Healing Wave - The user can release a Healing sound wave that can travel at light speeds.
*****
Unlike other Magpies who needs get close to heal their targets, the White Songstress Magpie can just stay at the back and stay safe while supporting allies. Sound attributed healing type beasts are known for their continuous but average amount of healing. The White Songstress Magpie on the other hand also have the Light attribute, which is known for it's speed and healing ability only second to Life attribute can turn the continous but average amount of healing into continuous fast bursts of healing. It might not sound much in the early stages, but if it grows up, it will be a nightmare in the battlfield, because unless you died, the White Songstress Magpie can just heal your injuries repeatedly.
Kai pointed at the White Songstress Magpie and coaxed Angela into picking it. Angela doesn't really know how to pick beasts so she just believed in Kai and picked it. After Angela's beast was picked, the trio of friends was finally escorted out of the facility and was helped by the school staff in successfully contracting their chosen beasts.
Once a beast tamer forms a contract with a beast, they will have the ability to somewhat understand their Familiars. They will also know the attributes and skills of their familiars. So when the two friends of Kai discovered the abilities of their familiar, they were both amazed and they thanked Kai profusely.
After the contracting process they went back to their classroom with their own familiars, they were then taught how to meditate, which Kai was overjoyed about because he can finally increase his level. When the clock struck twelve in the afternoon, they students were finally dismissed and left school with their own familiars.
