Request of the Beasts

The Head Professor of the Wyvern Academy and all the Professors of every academies were stunned.

The crowd was silent and didn't dare to take a single sound.

Lander looked at the teenage boy who acted as an elderly man protecting his family, he was awed and greatly appreciated this teenage boy, the disciple of the Emperor.

"Thank you young boy but you shouldn't have interfered in this affair. I can manage myself," Lander smiled and patted the boy's shoulder.

"How dare you call him young boy?"

"That is a total disrespect against the Emperor!"

Lander never showed any face to the crowd. He just faced the stand where all the Professors were seating and shouted overwhelmingly while pointing at the Head Professor of the Wyvern Academy, "I, an outcast dared to participate in this ceremony, if any of you is against my participation then why shouldn't we battle it out right here right then? And I don't need rules in this fight as you couldn't even value your own rules!"

Everyone was stupefied. A total silence was heard that only the breeze of the mountains can freely make a noise.

Only Aria broke that silence, "Lander, how dare you disrespect my father in front of everyone?"

"Your father?" Lander was stunned to know that she was the daughter of the Head Professor of the Wyvern Academy. Still, he laughed, "Even if he was your mother, your brother, sister or your backer, I do not care! Or do you want to battle it out with me?"

Aria gritted her teeth clenching her fists, "Since you passed, why do you still have to embarrass my father?"

"I never embarrassed him. He was the one embarrassing himself by merely giving a statement he shouldn't have. Because of disdaining me? An outcast? He forgot his position as a Head Professor just to show how filthy he thought of us." Lander shook his head explaining.

"You!" Aria was about to attack Lander by using her own magic when he was stopped by the disciple of the Emperor and murmured something to her. Aria was shocked after that and decided not to continue as she silently left the race course with a total silence.

"What happened?" The Head Professor of the Wyrm Academy asked.

"Sigh! I guess I should all tell you about this," the Head Professor of the Amphiptere recalled his memory when the Emperor of Wyvern Region personally told him to accept his right hand man's only disciple in his Academy. He even inquired who was this disciple of his right hand man - he was Lander. When he learned that Lander was an outcast and the only disciple of Great Duke Bobby, he now knew that Great Duke Bobby was the right hand man of the Emperor of Wyvern Region and has the highest status even among Kings and Queens of the entire Dragon Continent. As why Bobby has the lowest title? No one knew except Bobby and all the Emperor's of the Dragon Continent.

After the Head Professor of the Amphiptere told them about this, all of them were stunned. And there was only one thing in their heads, "Why an outcast?"

They now shuddered at the thought of Lander's status, he was just below the Emperor's disciple when it comes to status and was on par to the status of the Head Professors just below the Kings and Queens.

"What a bunch of cowards! I, an outcast was willing to fight you, elites head on yet you can't even accept my provocation." Lander casually said as he went home together with Grey and his two other beasts. He also invited the Emperor's disciple but was respectfully rejected.

On one corner of the viewing area, a hooded man whispered, "I need to remove this slave seal as fast as possible!"

That man was Lander's very own slave who hurriedly went away after witnessing Lander's performance and knowing that Lander was the own disciple of a Great Duke.

Lander on the other hand went home afterwards not even watching the other performances of the other groups and had a great meal then spent his time reading and rested.

After the race event was done, the Head Professor of the Wyvern Academy went to the Academy's tower hurriedly as he was planning on how to kill Lander without being suspected. This professor couldn't accept the embarrassment he has received especially that it came from an outcast.

The next day, Lander went back to the Academy leaving Grey and Yan Yan. He was running while his two other beasts were following him.

Arriving at the Academy, he was instantly led by one of the students in the next competition platform. He was dumbstrucked, "Wait? Isn't this the Colosseum?"

"What do you mean colosseum? This is the arena mainly used for beasts battle!" The student guiding him corrected with a little bit of displeasure.

"Right!" Lander just agreed shaking his head. But watching the so-called arena, he still thought this was the Colosseum in Italy. Even though he hasn't been there himself, he was sure of it because he has seen countless photos of it from the internet.

Lander was then brought to the underground of the Colosseum, he was given his number - 69.

"Oh? Sixty nine? I quite like this!" Lander smiled. Then someone told him about the concept of the next competition, that was to communicate with your pet to battle the next opponent.

"Do you mean a Pokemon Battle?" Lander asked with uncertainty.

"Huh?"

"Nevermind!" Lander replied. He will just see how the others battle and learn from them. He then asked where he can watch the other battles before waiting for his turn.

Shortly after he took his seat, the sound of gong was heard that made everyone shut their mouths. The Head Professor of the Wyvern Academy stood up, cleared his throat, "It is I, Kremus, the Head Professor of the Wyvern Academy welcomes thy guests and participants of our humble Centennial Ceremony. Let thee enjoy this event as I proclaim the beginning of today's pet battles."

As this Kremus finished his opening remark, the audience roared as they stomped their feet while clapping their hands.

After this, someone entered the ring as he announced the first two participants, one owns a cub of a weird creature having the head of an ape with a body of a lizard and has small wings while the other one owns a little monkey. Upon entering, the two looked at each other and both bowed, it was a simple courtesy.

The first participants started aggressively when the judge just left the Colosseum, they first shouted their pet's name as they commanded their own pet to battle

The match was decided after 3 minutes, the little monkey won the battle.

Soon, the judge entered again announcing another two participants. The battle lasted for a full ten minutes. This process kept on happening and Lander's thought was really proven, "It was indeed a pokemon battle!"

Halfway through the tournament, Lander got bored and went back to the underground of the Colosseum.

While leisurely strolling around, his two beasts talked to him, "Master, we would like to request something from you?"

"Oh? Request? What request would you two need?" Lander asked squinting his eyebrows.

The two gazed away from Lander when he turned to them, after seconds passed, the eagle gathered his courage, "We wanted to thank you master for making us evolve into our current ranking, but we are not accustomed to being a pet to an outcast. It was a disgrace to our bloodline.....

"Get to the point!" Lander interrupted as he sat in front of them with crossed legs.

The eagle got nervous but eventually continued, "We would like you to free us after this tournament!"
