The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

When the human noticed me approaching him, he fed me some beast food. I began meeting that human every day after that, hoping that one day he would choose me as his partner.

The human liked me as well. That day finally came; I was excited when the boy received his 'Book of Contracts.' I was overjoyed and approached him to congratulate him. Like every other day, the human petted me and fed me.

When the time came, the human and I went to a strange place with many baby magic beasts. The boy chose one of them and began to form a contract with it; I was so shocked that my entire world seemed to collapse around me, I always assumed he liked me and would pick me, but on the main day, he chose someone else.

I tried to approach him and stop the contract, but his parents stopped me and said, 'Hansi, it's not time for playing; something important is taking place. Come back later to play.'

I tried my hardest but was kicked out. The next day, I approached the boy. I had cried all night because I couldn't believe the person I had put my trust in would betray me.

He couldn't look me in the eyes, and I remember what he said, 'Hansi, I understand what you want, but I can't choose you as a contract beast because it would be dangerous for both of us. If you were in the common grade, I would have gladly chosen you, but don't worry; I still like you. You are welcome to stay with me; I will look after you.'

Even after what had happened, I couldn't believe what I had heard. I thought he'd at least try to console me and say, "I'll choose you next time," but now that I knew he never wanted to make me his partner, I flew away and cried for days before learning about a place where low-level magic beasts were evolved.

I somehow got there and have been waiting for this moment my entire life; now is not the time to back down because of a little discomfort. I'll either evolve into a powerful magic beast or perish trying; I can't continue to be pathetic like my current self.

Rishi stroked its head, relieving the magic beast's pain; he saw tears in its eyes. 'It appears that this little guy has been through a lot and is desperate to evolve,' he thought.

He comforted it, "Don't worry, little guy; I'll assist you in evolving into a powerful magic beast. You only need to endure a little more pain to become a stronger creature."

With a determined expression, the magic beast chirped and nodded. Rishi was taken aback; he had seen many magic beasts, but none had the intelligence of this one. It could even understand humans and exhibit some human behavior.

This was an exceptional magic beast characteristic; beasts that had it were known as a 'gifted magic beast,' but all gifted magic beasts are of higher grade, so why was this one so weak?

Rishi was taken aback but resolved not to waste any more time. He took the magic beast from its cage and placed it inside the chamber; Rishi then removed the serum and placed it in the ejector machine.

The serum was injected into the magic beast's body through a series of small injections. The cries of the magic beasts filled the silent lab, Its entire body was burning and transforming at the molecular level, but the magic beast appeared to be losing its grip.

Rishi encouraged it, saying, "This is your chance to break the evolutionary chains that have stifled your growth; everyone only has one chance in life to change their lives. This is your chance to shine and become everything you've always wanted to be".

The professor and instructor were taken aback by what they saw; this magic beast was rapidly transforming; its feathers were twisting and separating from its skin, and its cries had even shaken them. This magic beast was determined not to give up and to grow in strength.

The magic beast chirped and endured all pain. Its body was failing, but its consciousness remained strong. It simply refused to give up because this was its only chance. He'd felt pain his entire life, and this one was no exception; I refuse to be weak; it doesn't matter how long I live if I can't become strong; it's useless.

The manifestation of chains of evolution bound the magic beast, but it refused to give up. It chirped and looked up at the sky obscured by the ceiling, but it knew it wanted to fly freely there; it was simply tired of living on land and in trees when it could fly.

The strange large patterns that appeared on its body were 'runes of evolution.' They strengthened the beast while changing every cell in its body, The pain it was experiencing was causing it to pass out, but it managed to hold on.

Small new feathers began to appear on the magic beast's body. Its body was also expanding, tightening the chains around him even more; the magic beast's will manifested as fire in its eyes, and it cried once more. Its entire body was trembling, as was the chamber.

The professor and instructor were both concerned that something terrible would occur; Rishi's brows were also furrowed. He was sweating but also crossed his fingers. He was focused despite his unusual breathing.

The chains began to crack; it appeared that they would snap at any moment, and the beast was also transforming quickly. Then there was an explosion, and a white light blinded Rishi and others; this blindness lasted much longer than other times.

After some time, Rishi heard a loud chirp and opened his eyes to see a blurred scene; there was a strange smell of burning coals and smoke around him. He coughed and tried to see better by opening his eyes wider.

He noticed the shards of glass on the floor. As he approached the chamber, he noticed that an explosion had shattered it. The explosion was so large that a large hole in the ceiling appeared, allowing sunlight to enter.

The explosion blew out the lights, leaving the room in complete darkness.

The professor and instructor had exited the classroom.

The professor said, "Rishab, where are you? Have you seen him, Sir?"
