The Primordial Tamer

Chapter 10 An Opportunity

?Mrs Claire was pretty impressed seeing that Orion had advanced into Intermediate Beast Tamer and also evolved Nova into a Rare Beast. Orion was still 15 years old when he advanced that impressed Mrs Claire.

Mrs Claire leaned forward in her chair, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Orion, I have an opportunity for you," she said, her voice low and urgent. "In one month, there will be a tournament for Intermediate beast tamers. It's an opportunity for you to showcase your skills and compete against some of the best beast tamers from around the region. Many famous Academy representatives will be there, watching and scouting for new talent. I believe that you have what it takes to win this tournament and make a name for yourself."

Orion's eyes widened in surprise. He had never considered entering a tournament before, but the thought of competing against some of the best beast tamers in the region was exhilarating. "What do I need to do to enter?" he asked, leaning forward in his chair.

Mrs Claire smiled. "All you need to do is register for the tournament and prepare for the battles. The rules are simple: you'll be pitted against other Intermediate Beast Tamers in one-on-one battles, and the winner of each match will advance to the next round. The final battle will be held in a grand arena, and the winner will receive a cash prize and some special resources."

Orion's heart raced with excitement at the prospect of competing in the tournament. He had never been one to shy away from a challenge, and the thought of testing his skills against some of the best in the region was too good to pass up.

"I'm in," he said firmly, a grin spreading across his face.

Mrs Claire nodded approvingly. "Good, I knew you would be. But let me warn you, the competition will be fierce. You'll need to be at the top of your game if you want to win."

Orion's smile faltered slightly. He knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but he was determined to give it his all. "I'll do whatever it takes to win," he said, his voice filled with determination.

Mrs Claire nodded. "That's the spirit, Orion. But there's one more thing I want to suggest. You should consider getting a second beast to help you in the tournament. It will give you an advantage and increase your chances of winning."

Orion frowned. "I don't know, Nova is already a handful. I'm not sure I can handle another beast."

Mrs Claire shook her head. "That is a wrong judgement. You need a second beast that can complement Nova's strengths and cover for its weaknesses. It will make your battles easier and more efficient."

Orion thought about it for a moment. He knew that Mrs Claire was right. Having a second beast would increase his chances of winning, but he wasn't sure where to start.

"Where do I find a second beast?" he asked.

"There's a special spot in the forest where many rare beasts gather," Mrs Claire said, her voice low and serious. "It's one of the best places to get a second beast. However, it's also a dangerous place. You'll need to be careful, as some of the beasts there can be quite powerful."

Orion nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. "I'll be careful," he promised. "But how will I know where this special spot is?"

Mrs Claire smiled. "I'll take you there myself," she said. "But before we go, you'll need to prepare. Make sure you have all the necessary equipment and supplies, and be sure to bring some bait to attract the beasts."

Orion nodded, feeling a surge of excitement and nervousness. He had never faced such a challenge before, but he was eager to prove himself and find a powerful second beast. "I'm ready," he said, standing up from his chair.

Mrs Claire stood up as well, a look of determination on her face. "Let's go," she said, leading the way out of her office and into the forest.

As they walked deeper into the forest, Mrs Claire began to give Orion some tips and tricks for beast taming. She told him about the importance of building a strong bond with his beasts and how to train them effectively. She also warned him about the dangers of overexerting his beasts and the importance of rest and recovery.

Orion listened attentively, soaking up all of the information like a sponge. He was determined to become the best beast tamer he could be, and he knew that Mrs Claire's advice would be invaluable.

After a while, they arrived at a clearing in the forest. Mrs Claire signalled for Orion to be quiet as she scanned the area. Suddenly, she pointed to a large bird-like creature soaring through the air. "There," she whispered. "That's the beast we're looking for."

Orion's heart raced as he watched the creature. It was beautiful, with iridescent feathers and razor-sharp talons. But he could sense its hostility, and he knew that capturing it would not be an easy task.

The beast's feather also had some kind of blazing fire in it. Orion was sure that this beast was strong. He wanted this beast to become his second beast.

Mrs Claire began to summon her beast. Her beast was actually a spirit beast. It meant that Mrs Claire was at least an Advanced Beast Tamer. A beast that had a body of a lion and a head of an eagle began to appear from Mrs Claire's beast space.

This beast was actually a Griffin. This beast was a spirit beast that Mrs Claire had contracted. This beast was stronger than Nova. Mrs Claire commanded the Griffin to pressure the blazing bird. Mrs Claire's Griffin was a grade higher than the blazing bird, so its outcome could be predicted.

Orion watched in amazement as Mrs Claire's Griffin attacked the blazing bird. The two beasts clashed in mid-air, their powerful wings creating gusts of wind that sent leaves and twigs flying. The Griffin easily suppressed the blazing bird because of differences in tiers.

Orion could see that Griffin was a truly powerful beast, and he felt a twinge of envy. He knew that he had a long way to go before he could reach Mrs Claire's level of skill and power.

But he also knew that he had a determination to succeed and a strong bond with Nova that could take him far. He watched carefully as Mrs Claire and her Griffin continued to battle the blazing bird, trying to pick up tips and tricks that he could use in his own battles.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Mrs Claire's Griffin emerged victorious. The blazing bird, exhausted and wounded, fell to the ground and lay still. Mrs Claire's Griffin didn't even get exhausted at all. It seemed that it was a game for him.

The Griffin was battling the blazing bird for so long in order to exhaust the blazing bird and weaken it because Orion wanted to contract the blazing bird.

After the blazing bird fell down and lay on the ground in exhaustion, Orion started to approach it. The Griffin was also accompanying him to make sure that Orion was safe.

Orion stood over the blazing bird, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. He knew that contracting a beast was not an easy task, and there was always a risk involved.

He took a deep breath and took out a small dagger. He pricked out his finger to let the blood out. He carefully dripped a few drops of his blood onto the blazing bird's beak and waited for a response.

At first, there was no reaction. The blazing bird lay still, its eyes closed. Orion started to worry that he had done something wrong. But then, he saw a small twitch in the bird's feathers. It was a good sign.

He dripped a few more drops of his blood onto the bird's beak, and this time there was a more noticeable response. The bird's feathers ruffled, and its eyes opened.

Orion took this as a sign that the bird was willing to accept his contract. He carefully dripped a few more drops of his blood onto the bird's beak, and this time the bird didn't resist. Instead, it opened its beak wide and allowed Orion to drip his blood inside.

After a few moments, the bird closed its beak and seemed to be deep in thought. Orion waited patiently, not wanting to rush the process.

Finally, the bird lifted its head and looked directly into Orion's eyes. Orion felt a jolt of energy pass through him as he gazed into the bird's fiery gaze.

The bird let out a piercing cry, and Orion knew that the contract was complete. He had successfully contracted the blazing bird.

Excitement coursed through him as he thought about all the possibilities that lay ahead. With his new companion, he could explore uncharted lands, battle fearsome beasts, and unlock the secrets of the universe.

He began to check the beast panel for his second contracted beast. The beast panel would appear for each beast a beast tamer contract, and it was magical. The beast panel soon appeared, and the information made Orion very excited.

Orion looked at the information and looked at the skill. From the name of the skills, he could feel the power from it. He also began to think of an appropriate name for it. This Blaze Wing would become his companion after all.
