BXBX NOVEL Chapter 200 An Important Choice
"Even if you somehow pay the fees, what about the protection of your village? It will take you six to seven years to complete your education and become eligible to get a job. Is there a guarantee that wild beasts will not attack your village?"
"Think about your family. Your mother will not be lucky all the time; last time Ram sacrificed his life to save her" he paused before continuing, "Is this how you will keep your promise?"
"Stop it; I don\'t want to hear about it," said the boy as he started crying. He was very stressed and didn\'t know what to do. He wanted to have a peaceful life at the academy and focus on training, but he didn\'t knew that Chaya he targeted previously had joined a big guild, and now all his classmates and Batchmates were constantly making his life harder to get favor from that guild. Only he knew how hard of a situation was he in.
When he received the message, he couldn\'t believe it, but at last he decided to go and see. There was no harm in making sure, but now that he read the offer, it looked ridiculous and too good to be true. He looked at the shadow and asked, "Who are you?"
"You will get to know me when the time comes. Go visit your village tomorrow; A car will be waiting for you in front of the academy; check if I am lying or not with your own eyes before making a decision." Rishi stopped as he started leaving and said, "If you then also don\'t want to accept my offer, then I will not force you; I only want people with hunger in my guild. The one with the hunger to grow stronger, the one that wants to give their family the best lives,"
"There is no place for losers in my guild who can\'t even decide and grab a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity knocking at their doors." He threw the knife in his hand back; the knife nailed in front of the thin-faced boy. Rishi smiled and started walking toward the exit; he opened the door and left.
The green-haired boy stopped there for a while; he closed his eyes and went into deep thought. After a while, he stood up and exited the room. He came out with an expressionless face and went back to his room.
Rishi sighed when he looked at the boy\'s back. "I have done all I can for now; anything more would be crossing the line. I should wait patiently till he makes a choice himself."
He went back to his apartment and decided to do the thing that he had passed up until now: ask his maid to bring the magic beast that had been staying with him for a while now. The maid nodded, went inside, and came back after some time with a magic beast.
This was a six-winged bird-type magic beast with a blue-colored fire burning inside its eyes. It cried joyfully when it saw Rishi and rubbed his head against his chest. Rishi patted him before saying, "I have decided to make you my Contract Beast today."
The eyes of the Magic Beast lit up when it heard that. Rishi took out his \'Book of Contracts\' and started the process of contracting. A window appeared before him: "Would you like to contract the magic beast before you? Yes/No]
Rishi looked at the Magic Beast before replying, "Yes."
A golden light shone brightly, and soon the contract was formed. Rishi was just about to call back his \'Book of Contracts\' when a window appeared before him.
[Decide a name for the newly contracted Beast]
Rishi thought for a second before deciding, "Hansi, your name is Hansi from today." The Magic Beast cried in joy. He had decided on this name because he found this Magic Beast innocent and pure.
He was playing with his newly contracted beast and explaining how they would train from now on when a window appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations on contracting your third Magic Beast! You will now be able to make one of its skills your own.
[Calculating Bond..]
\'DING\'
[The trust in this contract beast is very high, and as a reward, you are allowed to choose one of its skills.] Rishi was surprised when he saw it; he had forgotten that Beast Tamers receive a skill from their contract beasts randomly. Some are lucky to get a chance to get a skill from their first, second, and third contract beasts, while others only receive a skill from the first contract beast.
He was happy, as not only would he get a new skill, but he could even choose it. At the time of contracting Sheru, he needed to depend on his luck, but now he would be able to choose.
[Generating skills to choose from]
1.) Fire and ice resistance (high): become resistant to every fire and ice attack and receive very little damage from them unless that attack is way above your league.
2.) Ice Chains: Bound any enemy with chains made of ice, the opponent caught in these chains would be unable to move for some time. Any target bounded by these chains will receive a freeze debuff, defense reduction, and bonus damage from the next attack.
3.) Ice Enhancement: This skill can be used to enhance the power of any Attack or Equipment.
A.) Equipment/Body Enhancement: The equipment enhanced will become many times stronger temporarily. Any opponent damaged by it will be slowed down, and it will give additional damage to energy shields.
B.) Attack Enhancement: The attack enhancement will give Freeze and Cold Burn debuffs to the opponent.
4.) Never Give Up: Get stronger when HP is low, temporarily boosts the basic stats and the user receives temporary Physical and Magic Resistance.
5.) Icy-Flame: Attacks absorb the heat from the opponent\'s body. If an opponent is targeted for a long time, he will receive a freeze debuff and be temporarily unable to move; this effect is a sure hit and can\'t be dodged.
6.) Blizard: Use a massive amount of mana to call out a blizzard. It\'s an AOE attack that will deal a massive amount of damage. The opponent hit will receive slow, freeze blood, and cold burn debuffs temporarily. Has a very long cooldown.
Rishi\'s brain froze and stopped working when he went through all the skills; he was unable to decide what to choose. There were many options, and each one had its own advantages and disadvantages. He regretted having the choice to choose for the first time.
He suddenly had an idea. He turned and looked at the screen, and a cunning smile came to his face. He pointed his finger at the screen and said, "You, yes, I am talking to you. Help me choose the skill that is most suitable for me." He sat on the couch and felt that a big load had suddenly disappeared from his back.
He looked back at the screen, "What are you looking at? Let me rest; I want an answer fast. I am resting now." He closed his eyes and started snoring like a carefree man.
