Blood Assimilation

Chapter 120 - Tamer



[…By that brat… Young Lord, you mean…]

"Randy Smith, who else?!" David Silvermoon said in a loathing tone, shocking the subordinate on the other side of the communication device by the sheer animosity contained in his voice.

He wondered what could have happened while his young lord went to see that young man. 

Because he was instructed to stay behind at the time, he had no idea what transpired between the two of them. 

'Judging by the way the young lord is reacting, I assume things didn't go as planned and he might've been offended by that brat instead. If that is the case, as his loyal subordinate…'

[…Understood, Young Lord. Your wish is my command. I will make preparation for 'that' thing to be unleashed under your orders. Please rest assured.] The subordinate solemnly said in a respectful tone.

"Very well. Make sure that it is done within two to three days. That will be all." David Silvermoon calmed down and said in a pleased tone.

He then turned the communication device off before sitting on the couch in the room with a sinister smile on his face. 

"For you who dared to humiliate and embarrass me in front of my subordinates, I will make you feel what it means to 'regret being born in this world'. So you better look forward to it. I wonder if you will still be arrogant as you were today when faced with that thing." David Silvermoon muttered with his voice full of hatred and resentment. 

… 

After leaving the café, Randy returned home with peace of mind since he thought his encounter with David Silvermoon and the settlement with him should keep things peaceful for a while, at that was what he hoped. 

When he entered the living room, he saw that his mother was home this time and immediately announced.

"I'm home."

After hearing his voice, Riley turned to him and nodded before saying: "Welcome home. How is school? Wasn't your break starting from today?"

"That's right. But I plan on participating in the special training session held by the academy so I don't think I will be having that much break time." Randy helplessly said.

"Ah, you did mention that. At any rate, that special training should be helpful to you. Besides I heard that you will be given some breaks in between, and the first week would be the comprehension session for those who lacked in academics while the remaining week would be dedicated to the practical training session. But the comprehension session should be no problem for you, right?" Riley said.

"Well, that's true." Randy replied.

"…" 

Both of them then turned silent after saying these things to each other, and then Randy took this chance and decided to go upstairs to change his clothes and take a shower.

At this point, Riley seemed to recall something and then said: "Ah, now that reminds me. Randy, your little sister had also awakened her innate ability last week. I never got the chance to inform you about this since we were busy with some matters afterward."

"Eh? Lydia had awakened her ability too? What did she awaken to?" Randy turned around and said in a surprised voice. 

"That's right. Since she was old enough, I decided to bring her to test if she could awaken, but surprisingly, she succeeded on her first attempt. As for her ability, she seemed to have the same innate ability as mine. Although, there seems to be another ability that was still being confirmed completely. But it seems to have the capability to increase favorability towards animals for now." Riley confirmed and then explained. 

"That's great then." Randy happily said in a genuine tone. 

That was because, unlike him, his sister would not have to go through the same hardship as he did and that alone was enough to make him delighted that she had awakened her ability on the first attempt. 

However, as he recalled the last week and lately, Randy noticed that both his mother and sister were not home whenever he came home after school for some reason and so he was always curious about this matter.

But based on what his mother had said just now, he could infer that perhaps it might be related to his sister awakening her innate ability.

Nevertheless, he could not understand why they had to spend more time outside even though his sister had already awakened her innate ability. 

'Does it have something to do with her second ability…?' He wondered. 

As if she could tell what he was thinking, Riley continued to speak: "That's right. The reason we had to spend more time outside lately had to do with Lydia's second ability which needed testing to fully confirm its capabilities. And because of that, we had to test the ability on beasts and other creatures." 

And then she paused for a bit and continued: "Of course, since it was dangerous to attempt this on grown beasts and monsters, we had to visit beast shops and test it on young cubs. But after several tries, we discovered that it seems that her ability doesn't appear to always work on the beasts and monsters, and the method to increase favorability with different beasts and monsters differ from each other." 

"So throughout last week and this week, after school, I would always take your sister out along with an expert from the awakening center to experiment on the methods for different beasts and monsters. Because of this, your sister had been tired throughout last week and this week whenever we returned home. Right now, she is sleeping in her room, completely unlike her usual jumpy behavior when she comes home."

"Although, I initially didn't want to put her through this because she was still young. But since it was necessary to discover what her abilities were beforehand, we had to cooperate with the people from the awakening center. In any case, all that ended today, and she was finally given the title 'Tamer' by the awakening center after much deliberation." Riley sighed and spoke in a slight regretful tone.

"Tamer?" Randy muttered.

"That's right. Just like how it sounded, it simply just means that she could tame other beasts and monsters with her second ability. Whether they were domesticated or the wild beasts, she has the capability to tame them as her companion. Even the ones that poured out of the gates and rifts were possible to be tamed. But it was deemed to be too dangerous for now until she improves her ability further.." Riley confirmed and then explained.
