Don't you know that Fire-type has advantage against Bug-type? (Part 1)

The two of them remained silent for a while.

Riley stood there without uttering a word.

Spiky-haired friend glanced at Joanna.

Joanna, curious, asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Spiky-haired friend: "..."

Too foolish.

Spiky-haired friend resisted the urge to facepalm and forced out a word, "Money."

Joanna finally realized, hastily taking out 50 League Coins from her pocket and handing them over.

Spiky-haired friend: "..."

You deserve to be single! Couldn't you have exchanged contact information before transferred the money?

"Thank you, I'll be on my way," Riley accepted the money and smiled.

The peak time after school was short, and he needed to keep an eye on people during this period.

"Wait, how about a match with me?" Spiky-haired friend stopped Riley. "I don't want money; just tell me the secret of raising a Fire Dog."

Riley shook his head, saying, "I don't have a secret."

"It's impossible; why would a Fire Dog be so obedient if there were no secret?" Spiky-haired friend looked disbelieving.

The methods of raising Spirit Beasts weren't a secret; there were even specialized programs in universities for that.

The people in the League who majored in this were called a Breeders. Like Beast Tamers, they had to pass levels, starting from F and progressing up to SSS level.

Some people who had contracted Spirit Beasts would consult to Breeders to develop a series of training plans. But some individuals had their own unique methods of training and were unwilling to share them with others.

The Fée family in Shalore City relied on food that could attract Fairy-type Spirit Beast, making elusive Fairy-type Spirit Beast willingly to become their contracted Spirit Beasts.

Naturally, this kind of food made others envious. If the formula were patented or sold, it could bring in substantial earnings. However, the Fée family only provided it for their own family members.

Over the years, nearly every member of the Fée family could have a Fairy-type Spirit Beast as their contracted Spirit Beast, and over the course of 300 years development, they had earned the title of the "Fairy Family."

Spiky-haired friend believed that Riley just didn't want to tell her the secret.

She still remembered one of the two senior high school students at school who had contracted a Fire-type Spirit Beast. The student had asked his Amphire to let a junior sister to touch it head, and the result was the Amphire had spewed flames at him instead.

The student was fine, but his hair got burned, and he had to shave his head. and now he still wore a hat every day.

Compared to that, this Fire Dog was exceptionally well-behaved, even in such situations.

Riley didn't understand and asked, "I'm its Beast Tamer. It's normal for it to obey me, isn't it?"

"Bark."

The Fire Dog nodded, affirming its loyalty to its Beast Tamer.

Spiky-haired friend, looking at the Fire Dog's behavior, wasn't so sure anymore. Could it be that this Fire Dog's nature was just naturally obedient?

"Can I touch it?" Spiky-haired friend asked.

"Catherine, don't be impulsive," Joanna advised.

The reason why the senior student became bald was already well-known throughout the school, and she was afraid Catherine would become the second bald student.

"It's fine; go ahead and touch it," Riley said nonchalantly.

Back when they were at the Spirit Beast Breeding Base and hadn't formed a contract yet, the Fire Dog had been willing to let him touch it.

Catherine was tempted. She crouched down and looked at the Fire Dog, reaching out her hand.

"Bark."

The Fire Dog in friendly manner showed its sharp tooth.

Catherine immediately withdrew his hand, fearing the Fire Dog might bite her in the next second.

"Why don't you have a match with me? I don't need any secrets; just tell me how you normally raise a Fire Dog," Catherine stood up and said.

"Sure," Riley agreed.

Even though Riley had only been with the Fire Dog for about 3 or 4 days, he had gained some experience in raising it.

Joanna, seeing that both of them had made their decision, stepped forward and said, "I'll be the referee this time."

Riley nodded, and Catherine summoned her own Spirit Beast.
