The Primordial Tamer

Chapter 2 Orion's Room Mate

?Ember was pretty confused after finding out that Orion was in a happy state after returning from the forest. When Orion was going to the forest, he was in a devastated state because he failed to awaken, but this time Orion was in a happy state.

Ember didn't know if his guess was true, so he began to ask Orion, "Orion, you are so happy now. Do you awaken in the forest?". Ember was pretty sure that Orion had awakened in the forest. That was the only reason Orion was in a good mood now.

Orion chuckled at Ember's question and replied, "Yes, I have awakened my talent. It seems that you have guessed it from my good mood."

Ember smirked and said to Orion, "I guess right, so what is your talent? Is it something so amazing?" asked Ember. Ember was pretty curious about what talent Orion awakened that made him in a good mood.

Orion began to sit on his bed and began to answer Ember's question, "My talent was a basic one. My talent was strengthening talent that basically enhance the power of my beasts." Orion replied back to Ember.

Orion could not say that his talent was Primordial Mastery. Primordial Mastery was still a mystery for him, but he could feel that its power was big, so he needed to hide in order to avoid the eyes of the strong people that were attracted to its power.

Even though Orion hid his talent, many students were also doing the same. They were saying they awakened a weaker talent to avoid attention from the big forces that could harm them. The students who hid their talents usually didn't have a background.

Only a student that had strong background could easily reveal his real talent. The student who had a background did this to strengthen the power of his background. It could also indirectly tell that his background was strong.

"That is pretty good. Even though strengthening talent was common, it is pretty useful. You can strengthen your beasts directly in battle. It could give your beast an advantage on the battle." Ember said to cheer up Orion.

What Ember said was true. Strengthening talent was a common talent that was awakened by many students, but even though they were common, they were very useful. It was because, in battle, a little gap of power could result in losing, so an instant boost of power was very good in the battle.

Orion looked at Ember and asked, "Ember, what talent have you awakened? I have told you my talent, right?"

Ember chuckled and replied back to Orion, "Look here now. My talent was Flame Enhancement. This talent is powerful. My name is very connected to fire element so my talent must be related to fire element also."

Ember was basically showing off to Orion. His talent was indeed rarer than Strengthening talent. Its power was also better than it. Strengthening talent could enhance all beast types, but Flame Enhancement could only enhance fire beasts, but the boost was better than Strengthening talent.

"Could you explain it to me about it? Flame Enhancement was rare, so I don't really know about its power." asked Orion. Ember was happy that he could show off, so he began to explain it to Orion.

"Let me explain it to you. Sit tight and listen carefully." said Ember. Orion nodded and prepared to listen to Ember's explanation.

"My Flame Enhancement talent allows me to enhance the power and abilities of fire element beasts. This talent also allows me to increase not only the strength and speed of my fire element beasts but also enhance their other abilities, such as fire breath or fire resistance." said Ember.

Ember also continued his explanation after breathing for a moment, "Flame Enhancement also generally involves some degree of control over flames and the ability to infuse this power into the beasts I control. This talent also allows me to communicate with fire element beasts more effectively or to better understand their needs and behaviours."

Basically, this Flame Enhancement talent was a precious talent for Fire Beast Tamer. It was why Ember was showing off to Orion. Even though it was a good talent but it was only good for tamers like them.

"How about it? Are you jealous?" said Ember to Orion. Ember was basically teasing Orion. Orion could not really get angry after it.

"Yes, it is strong, but it is only strong for people like us." said Orion. What Orion said was pretty true. Flame Enhancement might be strong, but it was only for people like them. The nobles had stronger than these talents.

Ember was pretty annoyed when he heard what Orion said. He directly replied back to Orion, "Even though it was not good for nobles. It was good for me. At least I am better than the rest of the students here and also better than you."

Orion and Ember started to mock each other, but they had no enmity toward each other. They were friends and often did this kind of thing. After a while, Orion suddenly asked Ember about something.

"Ember, you have awakened your talent, right? Have you contacted a beast?" asked Orion to Ember about it. Ember was pretty surprised after being asked by Orion about it.

"Are you stupid? Of course, I haven't contracted any beast. Today is the awakening day. Tomorrow the teacher will bring us to the forest to contract our first beast." Ember said to Orion annoyingly. He was surprised that Orion was asking that question.

"What is the problem? I am only asking." replied Orion back to justify his action. Ember was pretty annoyed as to why Orion asked that question. He also could not wait for tomorrow when he could contract his first pet.

Ember began to think as to why Orion was asking it, and suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind. Orion awakened his talent in the forest, where after awakening the talent, he could contract a beast. He was also happy earlier after getting home. 'Don't tell me that he did it.' thought Ember in his mind.

Ember suddenly got up from his bed and directly grabbed Orion's shoulder. Orion was pretty surprised after looking at what Ember did. Ember's face also began to become serious.

"Orion, you awaken your talent in the forest, right?" Ember asked the question again to Orion, but this time, he was serious.

Orion could only nod when he was asked by Ember, "Yes, I awakened my talent in the forest. Don't I already tell you that?" replied Orion back to Ember.

Ember's face became more serious, and Ember finally asked Orion, "You are asking me about my contracted beast earlier, and you don't know about tomorrow, so have you contracted a beast in the forest earlier when you awakened your talent?"

Orion only nodded after being asked the question. Orion didn't open his mouth and only moved his head. Ember directly became upset after knowing the answer.

"Not only you awaken but you also have contracted a beast. Why don't you invite me to the forest earlier? I also can already contract a beast." said Ember to Orion with teary eyes.

Orion could not believe what he saw now. Ember who was serious just now, was beginning to cry now. Orion directly patted Ember's back and slowly said to him.

"I don't even know that i will awaken in the forest and also a young wolf is near me so i unconsciously contract the young wolf." Orion said to Ember.

Ember finally stopped after he heard what Orion said. He slowly said to Orion, "Did you say that you contract a young wolf in the forest?" Ember asked Orion.

Orion was surprised that he unconsciously said that he had contracted a young wolf in the forest. Orion could only nod after being asked by Orion.

"Show it to me now." said Ember to Orion, wanting to see the young wolf.

"This is the dorm room. I think we will get in trouble if we release it here." said Orion to Ember. He didn't want to attract any trouble now.

"It's ok. I only want to pat it for a while. Pretty please." said Ember to Orion with his pitiful eyes.

Orion could only accept it and hope that there was not any trouble coming for him. He began to open his beast space, and from it, a young wolf was appearing from it.

Orion looked at the young wolf that he summoned and said to it, "Don't make a sound. Just lie down and relax."

The young wolf seems to understand what Orion said. After being contracted, the beasts would easily understand what his tamer said, and also, because of the Primordial Mastery, it was clearer than the usual beast tamer.

The young wolf was silent, and it began to lie down in the bed. Ember, who saw it, was very excited. This young wolf was very cute, and also his fur was soft.

"What a cute wolf! Have you named it?" asked Ember to Orion. Orion was surprised to hear what Ember said. He also remembered that in the panel of the young wolf, it said that both name and species were grey wolves. It seemed that he could change the name of the wolf.

"I haven't given it a name yet." said Orion. Ember, who heard it was surprised to hear it, "Give it a name now. Dont you know that a beast with name given by its beast tamer could grow more intimate with its beast tamer." said Ember.

Orion was pretty surprised after hearing it, so he began to think a good name for this young wolf.
