My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 294 Young Kid's Challenge

Pheross's move 'glare' has another name to it. Most beast tamers call it 'intimidate' or something along those lines. Basically, it allowed Pheross to release bloodthirst and release it toward his target.

Glare!

The moment the intense bloodthirst hit both Shoyo and Taiga, they both fell to the floor. The only difference was, Shoyo still had his beast integration activated while Taiga's beast integration had been disabled. Shoyo fell down on his rear end just like Taiga but he was still in his beast integration. He was surprised, but that didn't force him to deactivate his beast integration, much to everyone's surprise.

Jean Grey walked forward, offering his hand towards Shoyo and Taiga, prompting them up when they obliged. He then turned around and cleared his throat. "You see when it comes to Beast Integration, it's not about the looks, but rather how strong your connection is towards your tamed beast. There's a reason why this is the second stage when it comes to beast taming. And that's because it is realistically impossible to integrate with one's beast when they haven't bonded enough."

"Taiga, Tetsuya, and Kageyama, right? The three of you already formed that bond with your tamed beast... but you need to spend more time with them. That way, your bond will get stronger and you will become even stronger."

Even though Jean Grey was a newcomer, he had already shown how reliable and how professional he was when it comes to tamed beasts. After all, he's the beast master of the Nichijou Region in their world. There was no way he didn't know the basics of Beast Integration.

"Wait... a-a-aren't you that guy who defeated White Mist yesterday?!" One of the young men in the room exclaimed as everyone let out an 'ooh' out of their mouth. They didn't recognize him sooner but now that they took a good look at him, they could see that he really was the one and only beast tamer who defeated White Mist yesterday.

"Yep, that's him. He'll be joining our training camp starting today all the way up to the Official Beast Tournament. How's that?" White Mist pointed out before Jean Grey could even comment on what he said. Now, everyone's expectations of Jean Grey went through the roof and he had no room to deny the suggestion.

With a forced smile on his face, he scratched his head and turned to White Mist. "T-t-that's right! But only up to the Official Beast Tournament, let me make that clear. Use this time to learn from me. One day, I'm sure one of you will be able to defeat White Mist."

Everyone cheered, even Shoyo who was now standing beside Jean Grey felt a little small. He could tell that Jean Grey was an expert when it comes to beast taming and there he was, integrated with a baby chicken.

"All right then, now let me show you my Beast Integration." Ash volunteered, much to everyone's surprise.

As mentioned before, most of the people in the training camp were already in their late teens and some of them were even in their late twenties already. Only those who were on the veteran side could more or less integrate with their beasts... and yet this teenager claimed that he could do it? Just the notion alone made everyone shake their heads since they couldn't believe the preposterousness that came out of Ash's mouth.

The only three who didn't scoff or chuckle under their breath were White Mist, Jean Grey, and Midoriyama Satoshi. They knew that Ash wouldn't drop a comment like that when he didn't mean it. And as for Jean Grey, the reason why he looked a little bit tense was that he was expecting Ash to have improved.

The last time Jean Grey saw his son integrate with his beast was more than two years ago. That's why he couldn't miss this chance to observe everything. He's fairly certain that he'd be able to give his son some sound advice.

Without further ado, Ash Grey threw out a Gren in mid-air, and a seahorse-looking tamed beast came out. This was his partner, Sarugaso, and he had been with Ash ever since he started his journey to becoming a beast master.

Sarugaso let out a satisfied coo as it came out. He then glanced toward his owner, Ash, before nodding his head. That signal meant that he was ready for the Beast Integration. Ash nodded in response when he got the signal.

"Here we go!" Ash gritted his teeth as he closed his eyes. This was his way of focusing when it comes to his Beast Integration.

Ash's entire body glowed a bright white color before it dissipated in an instant. As soon as the light vanished, Ash's transformation could be seen. A smooth spiral of water covered his entire body, and he was wearing armor likened to the scales of his tamed beast Sarugaso. in his hand he held a spear, and his hair actually got longer and it turned into a nice shade of blue and green.

"Are you Aquama—" Someone was about to comment something when another person grabbed him by the mouth to shut him up.

"What are you saying? What if we got a copyright strike? Tsk~!" The other person hissed.

"Oh sorry,"

Normally, or at least when it comes to everyone in the training camp who could integrate with their beasts, one could barely stand when they integrate with their beasts, much less move comfortably. That's why when they saw how comfortable Ash was with his Beast Integration, their jaws dropped to the floor in puzzlement. They couldn't believe that such a young kid could already integrate with his beast without difficulty at all.

"Hahh~! How's that, Satoshi, pretty cool right? I bet you can't even integrate like me. How about you integrate with your beast right now and let's have a match." Ash said, putting his hand on his waist as he challenged Satoshi

"I believe I was the one who asked Satoshi for a beast battle first." White Mist pointed out as he cleared his throat. "You'd have to wait, Ash, or better yet, you can fight your dad soon after so everyone will be able to see our abilities in full display. What do you say?"

White Mist didn't want to miss his chance of a beast battle with Satoshi, that's why he just had to offer another alternative to Ash before he started complaining.

"You know what, that's actually a pretty good idea. I haven't had a beast battle with my young man here in so long. This would be like the old days when you used to challenge me every day, eh?"

"I've been doing a lot of secret training ever since I went on my adventure. I'm going to beat you this time, dad." Ash said, his eyes sparkling in excitement. It was blatantly obvious that Ash looked forward to the match more compared to his father.

"Now that that's settled, why don't we all move towards the training room? I'm afraid this is the common area and we might destroy it if we fight here." White Mist said before he pivoted. He then walked towards the door by the far end of the common area where the training room was located.

Everyone in the training center meekly followed their 'sensei' but they were a bit concerned about the kid who hasn't shown6 his Beast Integration yet. As far as they know, they didn't have to fight against White Mist when they joined the training camp, and yet this kid was personally challenged by White Mist?

"Will that kid be all right? He hasn't spoken a word about it."

"Maybe he was too nervous to speak..."

"Isn't this practically bullying?"

"But you saw how powerful that kid called Ash, right? Who knows if that guy is just as powerful."

"That's right, it's not like our 'sensei's going to challenge someone who's not a worthy opponent."

"But what if White Mist just wanted to test his abilities? Aren't you putting too much pressure on that kid?"

Shoyo overheard the people who were talking under their breath. He immediately caught up to them, interrupting their conversation. "That kid, he's strong. I can tell." He muttered.

Everyone looked at him as if he didn't know what he was talking about. However, Shoyo was confident that Satoshi was strong. 'A moment ago, both Jean Grey and he chose me over Taiga... I'm sure he's an expert like Jean Grey.' Shoyo said to himself.

While their speculations were running wild, White Mist positioned himself on the other side of the beast battle area. He wore a confident smile on his face as he pointed at Satoshi threateningly. From what he had heard, he was able to defeat Jean Grey in a match. That's why White Mist was going to use his absolute best Beast Integration against him.

"I hope you're ready, Satoshi. I'm not going to use my White Wolf on this match. I'm sure you've seen the Death Metronome, right?"

"WHAT?! HE'S GOING TO USE A REPRESENTATIVE AGAINST A KID?!" One of the beast tamers by the sidelines exclaimed.
