Returning Home

Leon returned home, No one was home again. He went upstairs to his room. He took out his clothes and put them in his wardrobe and took out one of the white pills, the , he had bought he and ate it

He then fell onto his bed there was still light out but he needed sleep. So he quickly blacked out.

...

A few hours later the door opened downstairs.

Sandra had returned, as she walked to her room she checked in Leon's room and saw him sleeping. She nodded, 'he must be tired from training I'll let him sleep'.

...

Time went by and it was time for dinner David had arrived as well.

Sandra went up to Leon's room, Leon was still sleeping. 'ill let him sleep some more'.

Leon continued to sleep.

She went down stairs and saw David.

"Where is Leon? He didn't return today as well?" David asked with concern.

"No, he's up in his room sleeping. He's been asleep since I returned."

"He must have worked really hard. He deserves a good rest."

...

At midnight.

Leon woke up and ate another, . He had now eaten 3. These pills like their name helped in restoring of soul energy. They also had an added effect of healing the body.

Having over used his slaughter qi he was quite weak so he was using this to help him. His wounds although bandages needed to heal and would take time. This pill would make it faster.

Leon then laid down and fell asleep again.

...

The next morning.

Sandra walked into Leon's room and saw that he was still sleeping. She was surprised and walked up to him, "Leon wake up, you've been slept enough now."

Leon got up with his eyes sleepy. He yawned, "Mom, how are you? Pace is coming today right, I think his parents returned."

"Exactly, Pace and his parents are coming for dinner so make sure to come back early. You also have a lecture in 20 minutes, get ready."

Leon nodded. He then got up and changed into the clan uniform.

He left his house and arrived to the lecture site. It was the same as the one before but now the chairs rather then rows and columns were now placed around a circular stage.

Leon sat at a seat near the back and fell asleep. His body still needed to heal and sleeping was the fastest way to do it. The rune and the both helped in making his body grow stronger and heal.

He was using the privileges he was given as a trash to the best he could. He didn't have to listen to the class but needed to leave home so he would just sleep during the lecture and the teacher wouldn't say anything because of his 'situation'. The clan had already decided to throw him out after he failed to awaken his soul book so they didn't bother about did either.

More and more people came and soon the lecture started. Pace went to the stage and spoke again. "Everyone, this is Miss Rosalia Inferno. She will be teaching us today."

The lady who looked around 25 years old had short black hair and black eyes. She wore dark red high heel boots that went up to her knee and wore a knee length red dress.

"Hello everyone, You all will soon be Summoners, so have you thought about how to train your beasts and help them grow stronger?"

"I'll first teach you the basic of summoning."

She reached her hand out and loudly chanted. A red soul book appeared. It flipped open and lit up. At the exact moment A runic circle appeared on the stage and beast came came out of it.

It was wolf cub, with light green fur and eyes. It had an agile body that looked like it was made for speed. It however didn't move much. It just sat on the circular stage and looked curiously at the class.

The students got excited.

"Thats a ! I've never seen one before."

"I heard it's the fastest wolf species."

"But it looks so young and weak. Could it actually even hurt another beast?"

"It's very young. Soon it'll be very strong."

The teacher snapped her fingers.

*BOOM*

"Quiet Down!"

Everyone stopped talking and focused. The sound was way to loud. Leon however continent to sleep, that sound was nothing compared to the explosion he had seen earlier.

"This is a ." Rosalia said as she petted the wolf.

"It is a few months old and still in its New born phase. It recently hatched from the egg I had contracted." Rosalia said as she showed the wolf around to all the class.

"All beasts are beings blessed with the talent to directly absorb and control energy. So all beasts will be born in the form of an egg. It is then they absorb energy from the surrounding to from their most basic abilities and characteristics."

"This has two abilities right after being born: and ."

She saw the students excited and nodded, "Now we've gotten a bit a head of ourselves, let's go back a bit and I'll explain the basics of beasts first."

"All living beings in this world are divided into two categories by their bodily constitution. You have the beasts with high affinity to elements and directly be able to absorb elements from nature without a problem. It also allows them to grow strong and evolve.

Then we have humans, we don't have as string affinity, we aren't the smartest or most inventive beings, we aren't even the most populous, the only thing we have is are ability to adapt to changes. We were blessed with the soul book, this allowed us to fight in a new way. By contracting beasts and summoning them."

"Now to understand summoning we need to understand the Soul Book." Rosalia moved her closed soul book around and showed it to everyone.

It was a simple red and had green lines flowing on it. Their were runes spread sparsely across. It did look elegant as it floated.

"My soul book is at the rank. Which is above the rank, the starting rank of all soul books."

"What a soul book has different then a soul book is that you can see the information about your beasts contracted in it." The book opened and flipped to a page with a big circle in it. The circle was light green and had a wolf similar to the one on stage sleeping on a windy cliff.

"This is the contract, it shows that the wolf is bonded to me, the picture inside shows the world the wolf is living in when it's inside the soul book. The world inside is ever changing to the whims of the beast contracted so don't mind it too much when the scenery changes."

She flipped the page and showed everyone the back of the page she had shown before. It had a few words written.

"This is something a soul book and above can do."

"Now, that's enough on soul books, more on the soul books on th next lecture. Here we will discuss the growth of summoning beasts."

"Now summoning beasts are ranked in two ways. One is through the numbers of . The more the better the potential the beast."

"The use of coloured stars, , , ... with each level corresponding with the levels of the summoner cultivation of , , ..."

"However Summoners levels are broken down even further to 9 levels. While beast don't have such levels. They just have one rank."

"Now, beasts can be made stronger in two ways. One is by training and then letting it break through to the next cultivation level. While the other way is through evolutions."

"You can train then normally using runes. Then letting them continue to absorb energy from the surrounding. But if you are able to get objects that contain a lot of energy you can cause the beast to evolve."

"Now evolution is a process related to the species of a beast. So for this wolf it can evolve into other beasts of the canine species."

"Then we have the subspecies. This is a way to classify beasts into even smaller categories. Subspecies is usually the same for beasts of the same type but it can be possible for them to be different if the wolf was born from different parents."

"Element something that stays with the beast for the rest of their lives. You can add more elements but it is impossible to remove elements. "

"You all can now go."

Leon who had been sleeping got up and left, everything he had heard was elementary to him. He had gone into further research in almost all parts of the soul book and knew that if he spoke he could contradict Miss Rosalia on every claim she made.
