The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Rishi has been at the academy for one week. His swordsmanship and archery have greatly improved, and teachers have taught him fundamental knowledge about various magical beasts and the history of beast taming.

Teachers have started focusing on practical rather than theoretical knowledge in the second week.

In the first class, Professor Riya took all her students to the academy's famous 'Magic Beast Park.' Rishi walked in and saw a scene similar to that in Puna's Beast Nursery, but on a much larger scale.

It appeared to be a large park with various types of habitats containing various types of magical beasts. Near the entrance stood a statue of a man playing with the small magic beasts.

"Who is he?" Rishi asked Lalit.

"He is the founder of our academy, Gopal Vasishta," Lalit replied. "In his day, he was a well-known beast master."

Rishi soon arrived at the first area, where common magical beasts were jousting with one another.

Many students were unable to control themselves and began to play with them. Rishi also wanted to join them but decided against it because his charm would attract the attention of too many magic beasts.

He wanted to keep a low profile, so he told his companions, "Let's go deeper; there will be more rare and beautiful magic beasts there."

They quickly arrived at the second habitat, populated by water-type magic beasts.

Rishi noticed a beautiful pond with many water-type magic beasts floating on the water's surface and others playing outside the pond.

Many students who liked water-type magic beasts or had an affinity with the water element were having a good time with them.

"Water-type magical beasts irritate me because all they know is how to shoot water."

"Even normal-type magic beasts without an element are superior to them," Lalit commented while observing the magic beasts.

"You say that because we are on land; visit the sea once, where all other magic beasts will try to survive there; they rule that place."

"Because the Earth is currently 65% water, they have an environmental advantage most of the time, "Manu stated.

"Let's go; there will be more interesting magic beasts as we go deeper," Rishi said, beginning to explore.

Rishi continued walking for 50 meters and came across Earth habitat filled with stones.

"Take a look at these guys; they're beasts." Lalit pointed to a fight between two magic beasts in the corner. Both were enormous; one magic beast used an earth element to strengthen its already powerful horn before charging at its opponent to deal damage, while the other built a wall to defend itself.

"Two beasts fighting like barbarians without using their brain and have a trace of elegance," Manu commented.

"When you have strength, who needs cowardly tactics? To defeat their opponents, men fight from the front and do not rely on tactics."

"Who needs elegance when you're strong enough to get what you want?" Lalit responded.

"Don't argue for such stupid reasons; let's go; there's more to see," Rishi said.

Rishi and his friends encountered a variety of magic beasts and soon found themselves in a new environment. The wind was very active in this habitat, and there were many magical beasts with the wind element.

"Look at that beauty," Manu exclaimed as he pointed to a magic beast.

Rishi followed the path of his finger, and a beautiful magic beast appeared in front of him. It was white and moving quickly on its four hooves.

Its lovely horns and long bushy tail enhanced its beauty even more.

"What makes it so appealing? A magic beast must be powerful enough to protect its master. I bet it will run away without thinking about anything else in a dangerous situation," Lalit commented.

"These kinds of magic beasts make excellent mounts; they are well-known. This species is known as Storm Horses, and they are known for their speed, loyalty, and intelligence," Manu responded.

"I'm sure it's smarter than you," Manu added, chuckling.

"I'll show you how stupid and weak it is," Lalit said, picking up a stone and hurling it at a sleeping Strom Horse.

The magic beast jumped up in terror when it thought it was attacked, then calmed down when it realized it was safe. It then started looking for the person who had woken it up.

It was on the lookout for the perpetrator when it noticed Lalit laughing at him.

When the Strom Horse saw an ignorant human making fun of him, he became enraged. It charged at Lalit, who was ready to defend himself.

Lalit concentrated on stopping Storm Horse's horns because it appeared it would use them to attack him. The storm horse unexpectedly went around Lalit before stopping and kicking him with its back legs.

Lalit's face turned pale as he was taken aback by this move. To avoid serious injury, he could only bring both of his arms in front of his chest.

The magical beast's kick landed perfectly and threw Lalit to the ground. Lalit sobbed in agony.

The magical beast curled its lips, exposing his teeth, gave Lalit a wide grin, and neighed joyfully.

Lalit became enraged and pursued the magical beast in order to extract his revenge.

"Idiot, he really believes he can catch a Strom horse on foot," Manu said when he saw him.

"Let's go," Rishi said as he walked away, completely ignoring Lalit, who was asking Rishi for assistance.

Rishi took a few more steps forward and detected heat emanating from the next habitat.

Rishi saw many magic beasts with fire and lava elements and a small volcano-like structure from which heat was radiated. He saw many powerful-looking magic beasts.

He avoided that area because it was too uncomfortable for him and Manu. They quickly arrived at the snow habitat.

'There are numerous magic beasts with the Ice element.' Rishi thought in his head.

One of them even waved goodbye to Rishi with its little hand. It was a snow penguin.

Snow Penguin was a well-known magic beast with an ice elemental. It was known as a very popular and friendly magic beast.

Rishi returned its wave, and the magic beast began sliding with its companions.

Rishi smiled as he looked at the adorable magic beasts. He then proceeded and soon arrived at the lightning habitat.

The lightning habitat appeared to be the most fabricated of all the habitats. Large lightning rods were strategically placed with electricity running through them.

This habitat appeared to be extremely dangerous, with electricity everywhere.

Rishi was always drawn to electric-type magic beasts because they dealt a lot of burst damage with a lot of stuns. The majority of the electric-element magic beasts had high movement speed as well.

He soon encountered many magical beasts that appeared beautiful and powerful. Rishi's charm worked, and he could approach them easily.

He even played with some of them, but that's a story for another day that they repeatedly gave him an electric shock.

Electric sparks were emitted by the lightning-type baby magic beasts when they were happy.

He was having fun with his electric hairstyle and had no idea that he looked like a mad scientist in cartoons.

He decided to explore the central area in search of a rare lightning-type magic beast in order to contract one. His teacher repeatedly taught him in class that there is a need for synergy between the contracted beasts of a beast tamer.

The synergy will aid him in defeating the opponent far above his level. Rishi had two contract beasts, one of which had metal element, and the other of one had water element.

Rishi was unable to fully utilize the full power and abilities of these two elements due to their low synergy.

If he gets a lightning-type magical beast, his team will work well together.

When he tried to choose one of the many lightning-type magic beasts that he saw, he became even more confused and could not choose one of them.

Before making his decision, he decided to look for more magic beasts.
