"What are you thinking?" Alisha asked me.
"You don't need to know this."
"Nervous, right?" She's being annoying again.
"Shut up." I said angrily.
"Alisha, why are you even talking to him. What if he is handsome, he's just a defect, isn't he?"
Yes, a defect. Do you know why? Because maybe I am the only boy in the world who cannot level up. Inspite of having a defect, I have some friends who care for me, don't let me feel lonely and want to see me happy.
Everyone increases their stats by leveling up and becomes more powerful than before, but I am the only boy who cannot do this.
But there is a limit to how powerful a person can become by increasing his level. Hence, people don't level up to become powerful, rather they do it to increase best taming percentage. But after 16 years the Best Taming Percentage doesn't increase, hence, before that, everyone mostly focuses on leveling up.
The higher the BTP of a person, the higher will be their chances of taming a beast. beasts are categorized in many ranks. From average rank to god rank, the higher the rank of a beast the lesser will be its chances of being tamed.
No beast ever wants to be tamed by humans, but beast taming forcibly makes them do it. If the beasts had their way, then maybe no beast would have been tamed. If you look closely, some other factors are also important for beast taming apart from BTP, but I don't have any of them.
In all schools, BTP of all 16 year old children is checked once a year. The process is quite costly and it takes a lot of time to make arrangements. The BTP stops increasing after 16 years, hence It's the best age to check BTP.
today our BTP percentage is going to be tested, and I am feeling very scared. BTP ranges from 1% to 35%, but some special people have BTP more than 40%.
I wonder how much will mine be?
"Next one, Alisha henituse"
"All the best Alisha."
"All the best Alisha."
She's quite popular.
"Oh thank you guys." She looked at me but I didn't say anything.
Like the others, Alisha was made to sit on a chair and a nurse took her blood sample with an injection. After that some officers mixed the blood sample in a purple liquid and examined her using some magic spells. The process was complicated and I did not understand what was happening, since I was seeing it for the first time. The result appeared on the screen after 3 minutes.
[ 39.6% ]
"Amazing Alisha Henituse, you will become a very powerful beast tamer." the nurse told her.
Everyone started clapping.
Many children came after Alisha, but everyone's BTP was less than Alisha's.
"Next one, Shou Shiroyanagi"
My name was called, let's go soon, but we'll be fine. To tell you the truth, I had stayed here till now only to get my BTP checked. If I had been checked first, whatever would have been the result, I would have left from here directly after getting it done.
"Look there, the topper is going"
"What if he is a topper. he's just a defect. Isn't he?"
"Shou, don't pay attention to what others say, give your best."
"All the best shou."
"I hope he get a decent percentage."
Some boys were making fun of me while girls were cheering for me.
Yes, I am a topper. But being a topper was not a special thing, studies are boring and it has almost no use in this world. Anyone can top by studying and there is nothing special in it, almost everyone studied just to pass the exams. Since I had nothing to do, I mostly thought of increasing that stat which could not be increased by leveling, and that was intelligence.
I was going to the platform but suddenly someone grabbed my... Butt? I turned around and saw that it was a girl. I slapped her hand
"Hey, if you don't get decent percentage, how about you become my pet beast. I will take very good care of you." She said.
I wanted to say something to her too but they were waiting for me so I just kept going. After all, it was an everyday thing to me.
Just what do they think of themselves? They can do anything if they're a bit cute?
The nurse looked at me.
"Are you scared?" She asked.
"Why won't I?"
"Don't worry, I will give the injection in such a way that it'll hurt the least."
Now who would tell her that I am scared not because of injection but because of the result.
She started taking my blood by the injection.
Hell! It hurts like hell!!
The same procedures were done with me. My face is such that anyone would think I am the most innocent boy at first sight. Apart from this, I am also a little cute, which is why I get the favours of elders pretty easily and often get molested by girls.
After some time, my BTP appeared on the screen.
