The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Rishi woke up and screeched his hands; He went to the bathroom for a shower.

After taking his shower and eating his breakfast, he went to meet his maid before leaving the hospital. He asked the doctor for her room before entering it.

It was way simpler than his room but was up to standard. He sat on the chair near it; His maid opened her eyes and saw Rishi sitting there. She tried to stand up but was unable to.

Rishi stopped her, "Don't move; the doctor has asked you to rest." He looked her in the eyes and said, "Thanks for all you have done for me; I don't know how to repay you."

"Stop it, young master; it was my duty to protect you," said the maid.

Rishi didn't know what to say; she reminded him of his head guard, who sacrificed himself to protect him. For people like Rishi, who had big backgrounds, the people they trusted most were their servants.

He said, "Recover soon; I don't want to eat hotel food for a long time." before turning and leaving.

The maid had a smile on her face. As a maid, she was trained to sacrifice everything for her master, and it was uncommon for people like her to get recognition from their master.

Rishi decided to attend his sword class as he wanted to talk to his teacher. The class was going on, so he waited for some time for his teacher to come out.

After some time, his teacher came out. He was leaving when he saw Rishi standing before him. He said, "Are you alright? I heard you got injured."

"Yes, sir, sorry for missing the class," apologized Rishi.

The professor put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself. Health is wealth; you can train later if your body is okay."

"Sir, I have been discharged from the hospital today. I wanted to have a serious conversation with you about my fighting style; can I talk with you in private?" he asked.

The professor looked at his serious face before nodding and replying, "Sure, you are my most talented student; I can at least do that much for you."

Rishi led the professor to a nearby training hall. It was the training hall of the All-Stars guild; It was given to them by the academy as one of the prizes for winning the guild championship.

He asked the professor, "Sir, can you please tell me how I can improve?"

The professor replied, "Your fighting style is very different from normal swordsmen; you are able to master tough sword techniques very easily, but you also depend on stealth and poison like assassins, while you also know how to use Bow."

"I think you should develop a two-mode fighting style, one for close range and the other for longer range. For close range, I see you using a sword and dagger. You have completely mastered one-handed sword wielding; I think it's now time for you to learn dual wielding."

"For dual-wielding, there are many types of secondary weapons that could be used, like a staff, shield, sword, spear, chains, hunter, crossbow, pistol, and many more. The list is endless; you need to decide on the secondary weapon according to your needs," added the professor.

Rishi thought for a second before explaining, "Sir, I want my secondary weapon to be good at close range, easy to maneuver, while also being useful as a throwable in certain situations."

"Then I think you should try to master throwing daggers," suggested the professor.

"As for your performance, you really impressed everyone and made me proud. For us professors to gain contribution points, we need to have our students perform better."

"I also noticed that you learn sword techniques very quickly. I have a buff-type sword technique that is very suitable for you; It is called a 'sword dance'," explained the professor.

Rishi didn't know how to respond to the professor; if he had offered him this technique before, he would have been very happy, but now his priorities were very different. He decided to tell him the truth: "Sir, actually, I want to show you a technique that I have learned first."

The professor was a little surprised, but he nodded; it was not uncommon for students to show their techniques to teachers and ask for guidance.

Rishi summoned his sword and started to summon his aura. His sword first started shining in a light-golden glow before a black flame came out of nowhere and surrounded the whole thing.

The professor looked at the dark flame burning with his eyes and mouth wide open. He was astounded by what he saw and asked, "Is it what I think it is?"

"Yes, sir, it is Aura that I awakened while I was in a difficult situation," replied Rishi.

The professor's eyes suddenly started shining in a blue-green glow. He looked at Rishi's aura before getting even more surprised, "It is very different from normal sword auras; could it be a variant?"

After looking at it for some time, he asked Rishi, who was sweating due to continuously using Aura, to stop. He thought for some time before asking, "Tell me its properties."

Rishi told the professor about what he had figured out till now and also told the professor how he was using this aura.

The teacher said, "Your way of using aura is very innovative, but it is not realistic. You are consuming a very large amount of mana to maintain Aura.'

"I know, sir; I will purchase a new aura weapon very soon," said Rishi.

"Why?" asked the professor.

"Sir, to solve the issue of wasting mana," replied Rishi with a confused look.

The professor shook his head. "I am asking why would you purchase it. The academy provides any student that awakens aura in their first year with a customized aura weapon."

"Really?" asked Rishi before he said in a calm tone, "But sir, I want to keep it a secret."

The professor facepalmed himself lightly. "Rishab, seriously? Do you think the Academy will leak this information? The academy is here to assist students; the better students we produce, the better funds we get from the government."

"The government is behind us; you can trust us. We will hide this information if you need it, and do you know there are rewards for students who perform extraordinary feats? The academy will give you more resources and contribution points."

"They will even increase your security so the incident like before doesn't repeat; you can't be scared and hide away all the time. I know you believe that you are the only one to awaken Aura this early but trust me, there have been many students who joined the academy after awakening Aura."

"I am not comparing you to them because even auras are classified into grades; your aura is a powerful one, so the rewards you will get will also be of equal value."
