My Beast Can't Evolve
"Alright, it's time for the final test to showcase your talent, Chris," the teacher called out.
Chris confidently stepped forward as the teacher requested. Today marked the day when they would determine if Chris had what it takes to become a beast tamer.
Unknown to anybody, Chris was quite special he was a reincarnator.
Fifteen years ago, Chris had died on Earth, only to be reborn in a parallel universe with a vastly different planet. While the planet's structure resembled Earth's, it was significantly larger. This new world was inhabited by peculiar creatures that resembled evolving pocket monsters. Humans on this planet could awaken their aptitude to contract and tame these beasts. However, the success rate for awakening this talent was only 1 in 10.
Out of their class of 50 students, six had already awakened their beast-taming talent, with the highest level being gold. Chris was the only one left who hadn't tested to awaken his beast-taming talent yet.
As Chris walked to the front, their teacher, Mr. Chavez, handed him a crystal clear ball. This ball would light up to indicate if Chris possessed the talent and at what level.
After receiving the crystal clear ball, within seconds, the ball in Chris's hand lit up, confirming that he has the talent to be a beast tamer. Mr. Chavez, who was overseeing the awakening of his students' talents, couldn't help but be amazed. Out of the entire class, adding Chris a total of seven students had managed to awaken their beast-taming talent, which was quite fortunate.
However, Mr. Chavez's amazement quickly turned to disappointment as he observed the result displayed by the crystal ball. It only lit up with a white color, indicating a talent level of normal and several ten rendering that his soul power was only ten. This meant that Chris could only contract a normal-level beast, with a low soul requirement of 10.
The entire class witnessed this outcome, causing their initial amazement to fade away.
"He managed to awaken his beast-taming talent, but it's only at a normal level," one student commented.
"Yeah, he won't be any different from the rest of us, regulars. He'll only be slightly better and can contract a house pet as a beast," another student added, sounding relieved.
The other students who had already awakened their talents shook their heads in disappointment.
"How unfortunate. Chris awakened a talent, but it's like a curse that doesn't make a difference whether it exists or not," they murmured.
Chris, holding the crystal ball, was left speechless.
"Only a talent level of normal and 10 soul power? And just a normal-level beast? What happened to my cheat?" Chris complained silently in his mind.
The "cheat" Chris referred to was his ability to view a beast's status as long as the beast wasn't too powerful for him to spy on. He could access the beast's status at will.
"It's alright, Chris. You can still attend the beast tamer class since you have the talent to tame beasts," Mr. Chavez encouraged, though his tone lacked sincerity in comforting him.
Chris simply handed back the crystal ball and calmly returned to their seat, showing no signs of sadness or disappointment.
"Tsk, can't do anything about it. I'm not the main character. I may have a special ability, but my talent is just trash," Chris thought.
After school, Chris arrived home and was greeted by a black furry cat at the front door.
"Oh, Ming, were you waiting for me?" he asked, even though the cat couldn't understand him.
He looked at the cat and suddenly, a row of information appeared in his mind.
Beast: Night Cat
Level: 1 Star-Normal
Potential: Normal
Power level: 5
Trait: Loyal
Skills: None
Seeing this new set of information shocked him. It seemed that his awakening as a beast tamer had unlocked additional perks, such as potential, power level, and skills. However, he understood that it was reasonable to expect such developments with his talent.
