Claire stared at Alex, waiting for an answer. As Alex just stood there wondering why the hell Claire was even talking to him. Let alone losing the cold and aloof demeanor that she always carried.
"I was just registering as a beast master, what are you doing here?" Alex asked with mild curiosity "Oh what a coincidence! I'm doing the same thing" Claire exclaimed with unexpected joy.
What's gotten into her? Wasn't she the cold and aloof type? Alex wondered with mild shock Claire then walked up to Nora while Alex left the guild shocked and confused.
The cold and untouchable school belle actually spoke to me? Alex thought while walking home. It was a drizzly afternoon. The sky was overcast and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
While walking home Alex heard a strange noise coming from a wooden box in an alleyway. Curious, Alex walked over to the black wooden box and opened the lid. Inside, cowering in fear, was a pitiful ferocious beast the size of a medium beach ball.
The ferocious beast had a reptilian body with red scales and black spines, it's body extremely injured, and it's life slowly fading away. carefully, Alex lifted the beast out of the box and gently draped it over his shoulder and started running home to care for it.
After about a half hour of running. He finally reached his apartment, which was paid for by the government as he had no way to pay for it himself, and had no parents to take care of him. After Fixing himself a fruit salad, he attempted to treat the poor injured ferocious beast.
He applied healing ointment that he bought a while back while preparing for the profession awakening. and the beast slowly started to heal visibly as the wounds closed at a very fast speed. he then fed the beast some beast fruits that he purchased before the ceremony.
Beast fruits are a common fruit found in lush forests. After the rift appeared in the beast's eye galaxy, a strange energy enveloped all worlds mutating the plants and animals in each world Because of this, many fruits had become very precious, and allow the power of a person to break through to the next level.
As the beast munched on his food, Its cowardly demeanor returning to a more composed and calm attitude, Alex went onto the internet to search cultivation techniques for beast masters at the awakening stage. after finding one he sat down in a lotus position and began to cultivate his beast taming space. Being an S rank beast tamer quadrupled the growth of beasts in the beast taming space allowing it to be much easier for beasts to advance after consuming resources.
Finally, deep in his soul, Alex felt something forming. Connected to his soul was a portal to a blank empty space 20 cubic meters inside. This would only increase as Alex continued to grow in power as well as his beasts.
Finally after opening his eyes he stood up and went to cook dinner as 3 hours had passed. After his ramen was done, He put the ramen in a red strainer and then shook it to get all the water out. After eating his meal he went to sleep.
Time flies
Finally, 3 days pass and Alex walks back to the beast master guild. Upon arriving, Nora notices him and walks up to him. "Hello Alex, The guild master is waiting in his office with the cub and the resources. Please go see him at once." "Thank you Nora!" Alex said appreciatively
Alex hurried into the guild master's office while receiving strange stares from the other guild members Finally after shutting the door behind him, he sat down on the sofa across from the guild master.
"I see you have managed to create your beast space Alex" Guild master Aaron said with a proud look on his face. "I have sir. I am ready to make a contract with the winged white tiger cub." Alex said determinedly.
"You will make a fine beast master Alex." Aaron said with pride. "As for your starter beast, she is right in the other room if you will follow me to the beast room." Standing up, Aaron motioned for Alex to follow, the two walked to the back of the office and Aaron used a keycard to open a vault full of ferocious beasts.
As the vault opened, many beast cries and growls were heard. Following Aaron, Alex was shocked at the amount of beasts in the beast vault. There had to be at least three hundred beasts, all in cages just waiting to be contracted.
Finally they reached the cage of the winged white tiger. Using a keycard, Aaron opened the cage of the winged white tiger and gestured for Alex to start the contract. Alex held out his hand and the cub timidly licked it before jumping onto Alex's arm and licking his face.
Chuckling, Alex stroked the soft white fur of the winged white tiger cub. Finally he formed the contract seal and scanned the beasts body with it. finally the beast, accepting the contract lowered it's head and entered Alex's beast space.
"Well it seems that she has taken quite a liking to you. what name would you like to give her?" Aaron asked. "I think I'm going to name her Zara." Alex decided after some thoughtful thinking.
"What a powerful name you have given her." Suddenly, a feminine voice resounded in Alex's head. "Thank you for my name master I will serve you well in the battles to come. please take good care of me"
"As for the resources I promised please follow me." Aaron led Alex to another door and used a keycard to open it. Inside the room were thousands of different herbs, crystals, and blood samples all organized neatly.
Aaron did some rummaging before coming back with handfuls of spirit grass and spirit crystals. "These should be enough to advance your pet to the next level. thus strengthening your body."
After thanking guild master Aaron, Alex left the guild and prepared to head home to advance the foundation of Zara.
