Important Announcement

Everyone waited, a palpable stillness hanging in the air, for Christopher to elaborate.

"I am a supreme tamer."

The words detonated in their minds, a silent explosion that froze Ethan, Amara, Katherine, and Adonis mid-breath. A profound quiet descended upon the elegant dining room.

"What did you say?" Ethan finally managed, his voice a low rumble.

"I am a Supreme Level Tamer," Christopher repeated, the words clear and unwavering.

"So that energy…?" Katherine breathed, her eyes wide.

"Yes, Katherine, I am the one who released it."

"But you weren't in your room at that time," Adonis pointed out, a furrow in his brow.

"But you saw the energy pillar originating from my room, right?" Christopher countered, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Yes," both Katherine and Adonis confirmed with simultaneous nods.

"But," Amara began, a flicker of worry in her eyes as she glanced at her husband and then back at Christopher, "a supreme tamer enrolling in the Tamer's Academy… And with the inter-academy competition approaching, won't people say you were deliberately concealing your level? If you win now, they might claim it's unfair, and your victory could be contested."

'Wow… My Mum really has thought this through… But she's right. If I reveal my current level, there'll be an uproar across the three cities… So, what should I do now? Well, I'll just keep it under wraps for the time being.'

He met his mother's gaze, a reassuring smile on his face. "Don't worry, Mum. Everyone already knows I'm a legendary tamer; let's leave it at that. Besides, my tamer badge already identifies me as legendary. I can simply say I broke through and reached the master level after the academy competition."

The group exchanged thoughtful glances, and one by one, they nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, big bro! I'll keep it a secret… Just like you effortlessly defeated that mystical-stage monster during the entrance test, you'll crush all those ignorant fools from the other academies!" Adonis declared, his youthful face beaming with pride.

"Okay… With that settled, you guys should start eating." Christopher gestured to their untouched plates.

The three younger ones eagerly resumed their meal, while Amara and Ethan exchanged a look, a faint shadow of concern lingering in their eyes.

[NEXT DAY.]

[Tamer Academy.]

VOOOM!!

Two sleek Lexus Limited Editions, one a pristine white and the other a deep black, pulled up and parked facing each other in front of the Tamer Academy.

The doors of the white Lexus swung open, and Katherine and Adonis emerged. Katherine carried her schoolbag, while Adonis had two slung over his shoulders.

Simultaneously, the doors of the black Lexus opened, and Adrian and Mariana stepped out. They were both clad in the academy uniform, schoolbags in hand.

"I can't believe a brainless human is here to pollute this place with their ignorance," Katherine remarked, her voice deliberately loud enough to reach the two siblings.

"You! Who are you calling brainless?!" Mariana snapped, her voice laced with disdain.

"Oh? Did I happen to mention anyone's name?" Katherine inquired with feigned innocence, a playful glint in her eyes.

"No, you didn't, little sister," Adonis interjected smoothly, "just ignore those who can't seem to mind their own business."

"You!" Mariana sputtered, momentarily lost for words. Finding her footing, she whirled towards her brother. "Adrian, they're bullying me!"

"They're merely talking, Mariana, and as Katherine pointed out, no one specifically mentioned you," Adrian said calmly, though a hint of annoyance flickered in his eyes.

"How can you say that?!" Mariana insisted, refusing to back down.

"At least your brother possesses a modicum of intelligence."

The attention of the two siblings snapped towards the white Lexus as the driver's door opened, and Christopher gracefully unfolded himself from the car. He too was in the academy uniform, his bag already in Adonis's possession.

"Christopher?" Adrian and Mariana exclaimed in unison, their surprise evident.

Christopher met their stunned gazes for a fleeting moment before turning and striding towards the academy gates without uttering a single word.

"Let's go," he said casually to his siblings.

Katherine giggled, a melodious sound, and followed closely behind her elder brother. Adonis trailed after them, a wide grin plastered on his face.

'That… Christopher!' Adrian clenched his fists, a surge of impotent rage coursing through him.

"It's the truth, No one said your name, yet you immediately started barking like a provoked hound."

"…..."

Mariana remained speechless, her face flushed with indignation.

Both siblings turned their heads as a figure brushed past them, seemingly oblivious to their presence. Advika walked with an air of quiet confidence towards the academy gates, her expression impassive. They watched her in disbelief as she disappeared inside.

"That bitch again!" Mariana hissed under her breath.

A wave of hushed whispers followed Christopher as he walked down the academy hallway, drawing the gazes of both male and female students. Admiration, shock, and a healthy dose of curiosity were etched on their faces. His two siblings flanked him, their smiles radiating pride and loyalty.

"Wow… That's Master Christopher!" one student murmured in awe.

"Yeah! He got first place in the entrance test… He was so incredibly cool!" another chimed in, their eyes sparkling.

"I can't believe he's that powerful," a third whispered, shaking their head in disbelief.

"Yeah… I heard rumors that he didn't know anything about Beasts and was even scared of them… But it looks like all of that was just a load of nonsense," someone else added.

"Maybe he was deliberately hiding his true talent and finally decided to reveal it during the test," another student speculated.

"I wonder what other amazing beasts he possesses?"

"No idea, but I bet they're incredible!"

Adonis and Katherine exchanged delighted glances, their smiles widening as they overheard the awestruck comments about their brother.

'If only they knew he was now a master level tamer.' Katherine thought, barely containing her excitement.

Christopher stopped before the door of his designated class and turned to his siblings. "My bag, please."

Adonis promptly handed over the requested schoolbag. The two younger siblings lingered.

"Don't you two have classes to attend?" Christopher asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Oh! Yes!" Adonis exclaimed, suddenly remembering.

"Right away!!" Katherine echoed, nodding quickly.

The two siblings swiftly turned and hurried down the hallway. Christopher allowed a small smile to grace his lips. Before he could open the classroom door, his gaze locked with that of a pink-haired girl walking towards him.

"Advika?" he inquired, a touch of surprise in his tone.

"Good morning, Master," Advika replied, a rare and subtle smile gracing her lips.

"Morning," Christopher responded, "and we're at school now, so just 'Christopher' will be fine."

Advika offered a small nod, remaining silent.

"Come on, let's head inside," Christopher said, pushing the classroom door open. He held it for Advika, and the two stepped into the room together.

The moment Christopher and Advika entered, every student in the classroom, including those who had participated in the entrance test, turned their heads in unison.

"That's Master Christopher and Miss Advika… They were the top two on the ranking table!" one student whispered excitedly.

"Yeah… Maybe we can try to become friends with them," another suggested eagerly.

"Definitely!" a third agreed.

Christopher made his way to an empty seat in the back row and sat down. To his slight surprise, Advika followed him and settled into the seat beside him.

"Uh? Are they dating?" a student murmured, their eyes wide with curiosity.

"It certainly looks like it," another replied, nodding thoughtfully.

"They actually make a pretty good couple," a third offered.

BAM!

The sudden loud noise caused everyone to turn towards the door. Mariana stood in the doorway, her expression icy and her eyes narrowed. Mitchell trailed in behind her, his face emotionless.

The two strode to the front row and unceremoniously plunked down into seats, completely disregarding whether they were already occupied. If they were, the rightful owners wouldn't dare voice their objections.

"Alright everyone, please take your seats!"

Principal Monica entered the classroom, a stack of documents clutched in her hand. Seeing the principal, the students quickly settled down, their attention fixed on her.

Monica walked to the front of the classroom and placed the documents on the teacher's desk. She then surveyed the room, her gaze sweeping over the assembled students.

"I have a very important announcement to make," she began, her voice clear and carrying.
