The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 27 Challenging Trial 1
?Rishi planned to spend today preparing for his upcoming trial.
He was on his way to his clan's weapon shop to purchase full body armor; he desired light gear that would not impair his agility.
The carriage came to a halt in front of the "Rawat weapon shop" on the main road. A silver-haired boy emerged from the carriage, dressed in a black tracksuit and blue shoes.
No one looked down on him despite his simple clothing; how could they when they saw his majestic carriage? His lovely carriage was drawn by a pair of rare horse-type magical beasts.
Rishi entered the shop, ignoring the curious looks of the customers. When the attendant saw the rude person who had entered, she wanted to ask the security guards to throw him out.
The attendant saw the intruder's face just as she was about to yell. The cocky expression and familiar face rang a bell in her head.
"Welcome, young master," she said, bowing.
Rishi just kept walking and staring at the weapons all around the shop.
The attendant was angry with him, but she kept smiling and asked, "What brings you here, young master?"
"I want lightweight body gear," Rishi said as he looked around.
"The best one I can equip at my level," he said, looking at the attendant.
When the attendant noticed Rishi's gaze turn to her, she blushed.
"What is your level, young master?" she inquired.
"I am level 10," Rishi replied.
She was taken aback at first because he had only recently awakened.
She chose to disregard it and guided Rishi to the second floor.
They both entered a room with various full-body gears on display. Rishi examined all of the gears and their attributes.
He eventually settled on black and blue full-body armor. It was made of a soft, light, and strong alloy.
The attendant sighed as she looked behind Rishi.
Rishi returned home in his carriage. He then put on his armor and drew his sword.
When he said "awaken," a window appeared in front of him.
[Do you want to take part in Trial 1? Reply with either yes or no]
"Yes," Rishi replied.
He was teleported to the trial location as soon as he responded. He could hear Gaia's voice.
[Welcome, challanger]
A status window appeared in front of him.
[Rishi Rawat]
[Level: 10]
[Strength: 100, Agility: 100; Stamina: 95; Vitality: 95; MP: 100]
He could have some stats more than 100 but at level 10 there was a limit on stat points he could have.
Rishi could only have a maximum of 100 points any stats above 100 will be hidden; these hidden points are now saved and will be added when Rishi levels up.
[Trial one will include three mini-trials that are]
[(a) Fight]
[b] Job Class selection] 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
[(c) Awakening Element]
Then Rishi noticed his surroundings had transformed into a jungle. The text then appeared in front of his eyes.
[Beginning Trial (a)]
In one hour, kill as many magic beasts as you can.
He heard his trial and attempted to summon his "Book of Contracts," but quickly realized he couldn't.
Rishi decided he needed to rely on himself, so he went inside the jungle in search of magic beasts. He decided to go deeper into the jungle after seeing many low-legged magic beasts.
He came across a level 8 magic beast after moving for two minutes through the forest. It was devouring yet another magical beast.
Rishi assumed his posture after placing his forehead on his talwar.
He didn't have time for a lengthy battle, so he chose to ambush it.
He approached the monster slowly, holding his breath. When he realized he was close enough, he assumed his posture and jumped at the magic beast.
The magic beast heard the sound of Rishi drawing his sword, but it was beheaded before it could dodge Rishi's attack.
Rishi ignored the corpse of the magic beast and went in search of other magic beasts.
.
.
Rishi has killed many magic beasts, most of them above level 7, in the 45 minutes since the trial began. He only had 15 minutes left when he came across a herd of magic beasts.
They were 2-meter-long magic beasts with slim snake-like bodies and six legs equipped with multiple claws.
Rishi examined the orange-colored magic beasts with black spots on their bodies. He made use of mode 2 of his 'inspect' skill.
......
NAME: Six-Leged Skink
AGE: Adult
ADVANTAGE: High speed and paralyzing venom are two of his strengths.
WEAKNESS: lack of defense and stamina.
CHARACTERISTICS: This is an aggressive species that attack as soon as it notices another species.
STATUS: HEALTHY.
.........
He analyzed the data and devised a strategy. He initially planned to assassinate their level 10 leader, who was sleeping. It will be a piece of cake for him to slaughter the other magical beasts without their leader.
Rishi charged at the sleeping leader of the magic beasts, brandishing his sword. He was about to kill it when the magic beast guarding its leader noticed him and charged at him.
Rish was taken aback by the magic beast's quick reaction time, but he decided to finish it off with his leader. He dispatched the magic beast with his "Quick Draw" ability.
He jumped at the leader without wasting a single second, who had just realized the ambush and was about to dodge. Rishi used "Quick Draw" once more to assassinate the leader.
All of the magic beasts looked at Rishi, stunned that someone could kill their leader so easily, but they quickly recovered and attacked Rishi from all sides, with no strategy.
Rishi had no trouble avoiding their mindless attacks; he dodged their attacks while counter-attacking whenever he could. He killed all of the remaining magic beasts one by one.
He just wanted to keep looking for more magic beasts when he heard "Gaia's" voice.
[Time is up]
Rishi sat silently waiting for the next set of instructions.
[Score Calculation]
[10,000]
[Congratulations on breaking the record, challenger. You have received one golden voucher which could be used to awaken a new active skill.]
Rishi jumped for joy and was celebrating when he noticed that a new trial was starting.
[Beginning trial (b)]
Rishi became aware that he was teleported into a dark room with a large screen in front of him. It revealed everything about Rishi, from his strategy to his weapon choice.
He heard Gaia's voice once more.
[Looking for an appropriate class]
[Generating]
[(1) Swordsman(Common)]
[(2) Assasin (uncommon)]
[(3) Hunter(Common)]
[(4) Common Knight(Common)]
[(5) Bow and Blade Ranger(Rare)]
The first four options were clear to Rishi, but the fifth one baffled him. "Could you please provide me with more information about option 5" he inquired of Gaia.
As soon as he asked the question, he heard a voice.
Bow and Blade Ranger: An archer who can use both arrows and bladed weapons. The cost of using both weapons is that instead of a 1.5-times increase in damage, they will both receive a 1-time increase in damage.
He took a breather to consider all of his options.
'Swordsman is far too common and straightforward.'
'Assassin is great, but how will I deal with people in a duel?'
'Hunter is competent.'
'Knight isn't for me.'
'The fifth option is truly unique, and I am eager to try it.'
He was perplexed for a moment before making a decision. "I'll take this option," he said.
A window appeared in front of Rishi.
[Congratulations on deciding on a career path, challenger]
[Bow and Blade Ranger is your second job class.]
[You have unlocked a new stat, Dexterity. It will begin with 10 points.]
Rishi noticed a sudden change all over his body. He didn't change physically, but he could tell something had changed about himself.
He suddenly felt like he could use his weapon more skillfully. He was just thinking about how much he had changed when he heard Gaia again.
[Beginning Trial (c)]
Rishi was teleported to another location. He looked around at the various colored pillars; some were dull, while others shone brightly.
The dark-colored pillar, in particular.
"What are these different colored pillars?" he inquired of Gaia.
[Each of these pillars represents a different element; the brighter the pillar, the stronger your affinity for that element.]
Rishi examined all of the pillars, and soon a screen appeared in front of him.
[Choose one of the pillars. It is advised to select the brightest pillar.]
Rishi chose the pillar which was shining more brightly than the others.
[Congratulations, user, on selecting your first element]
[Shadow is your first element.]
Rishi was initially perplexed as to how he obtained this element, but when he remembered his miserable past and near-death experiences, everything made sense.
He just wanted to leave when he heard Gaia,
[User: You have a Golden Active skill voucher; if you use it now, you have a 50% chance of unlocking an element-related skill.]
[Do you want to use your voucher? Yes/No]
When Rishi said yes, a massive wheel hologram appeared before his eyes. He pushed the start button in the center and waited for it to spin.
Rishi pressed the stop button as the massive wheel began to spin. Slowly, the wheel came to a halt, and Rishi noticed a 21-number card.
The golden card glowed and grew larger. Then it turned right in front of Rishi's eyes.
It said "Shadow Walking" on it. It then entered Rishi's body; he checked his status window and examined the new skill's application.
Shadow Walking: For 10 seconds, use 10 MP to enter and move through shadows.
Rishi cheered when he saw this skill; it was exactly what he needed, and it worked perfectly with his "Quick Draw" skill.
