To the School

Chris placed his little fox, Snow, on his head and entered the hall.

He was not a young master where a maid would bring food to his room. No, if he wants to eat anything, he has to go to the hall, where everyone in the family would eat.

As soon as Chris entered, it was his sister Lina, whom he came across.

"Good morning brother", Lina greeted him as she too was on her way to the breakfast table.

Unlike her brother, who has completed his school with a successful awakening, her year was yet to be done. There is still a year before she would go through the talent awakening process.

Once she awakens, she too will become a Beast Tamer much like her siblings, parents and grandparents, which she hopes she will.

Being the youngest was too stressful for her, especially now that she was the last of her family of this generation and the other two have been successful in awakening their talents.

Even though she was stressed, she didn't show it on her face. She was happy that her brother was successful. With him being a beast tamer, though the burden would increase a little for a while, the benefits outweigh these burdens.

It was why she was genuinely happy.

"Good morning Lina", Chris greeted her back but Lina's eyes were changed. He knows that look. It was the same look that appeared on her face whenever she saw her favourite stuffed toy.

Judging by her eye direction, he was sure that the candidate who caused those eyes to appear was Snow, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He perfectly understood what would happen next.

Lina, whose height had reached Chris's shoulders, reached over his head with great effort and caught Snow in her hands.

"So cute", she cried out as she started to rub her cheeks with the fox.

Woo!! Woo!!

The fox cried out with pleasure as if she liked what Lina was doing.

Snow has not activated her crystalline body, which means she would not be covered in crystals, which are not known for their soft structure. Moreover, crystals would have a sharp structure, which could hurt skin.

Since Lina was enjoying Snow's original body, it felt so soft.

It was why foxes were hunted on Earth for their soft furs, which were high in demand almost causing their numbers to drop to a dangerously low.

Luckily, laws came and protected them from entering extinct species or something like that.

Lina, here was experiencing the softness of a live fox.

"Brother, what name did you name the fox?" Lina asked her brother.

"Snow, after her white body", Chris answered.

"Lame. It was far too common name, not a unique one nor an original", Lina lamented.

Chris sighed when he heard her sister's words but what could he do?

He was not very good at naming and Snow was a good name. So why risk it?

"It was not lame, Lina", Chris tried to cover up his no-naming sense.

As he was chitchatting with his sister, their mother arrived from the kitchen, "Chris, Lina, breakfast is ready. Eat it or did you two forget about the fact that you have to leave for school", she spoke.

Hearing their mother's words, they immediately occupied their seats, as their mom placed the breakfast before them. She placed another bowl of breakfast for snow.

Since the pet was a newborn, most families would only feed liquid foods like milk, which Snow liked very much. So much so that, she licked the bowl clean by the time the siblings completed their food.

Snow after completing her breakfast looked longingly at the mother, who similar to Lina was mesmerised by the cute fox. She was about to pick up more milk for the pet but Chris intervened.

"Mom, she was born a few hours ago. Too much eating may cause indigestion. So let's increase food after we are sure that there will be no side effects", Chris said.

He wanted to take away the lazy bum and foodie from here as he knew that if his mother or sister pampered this little one, there would be no end to her lazy attitude.

Since he would still have to depend on the family's money, he can't buy anything extravagant to train his pet. So making sure that the pet doesn't eat too much, is now a duty.

If there was any slip-up, the lazy bum may refuse to train, which could become a hindrance to not only growth but also Snow's growth. That can't happen no matter what.

So he intervened.

At the same time, he also knew that his intervention may cause friction with his pet or his sister and mom, but he dealt with it smoothly.

He brought about the newborn status of his pet.

Unlike in novels, where a newborn beast would be able to fight a horde of monsters from the beginning that wouldn't be possible in real life.

It would not be possible even if the pet beast is a descendant of a Dragon Emperor.

They may have the knowledge about it but no experience. Without proper experience, that knowledge is a waste. The pets can't utilize them without training.

Having a great lineage means that they can reach the top but to reach that top, they have to work from the beginning just like others but they would have a proper path laid out for them to reach that top stage quickly which is their advantage.

Whether they can use this advantage or not, solely depends on themselves.

Using this as a base, Chris escaped from a possibly dangerous situation.

After breakfast, Chris left home for school. Seeing that her breakfast time was over, Snow went back to sleep. So Chris had no choice but to put back in the beast space. He has to return to the school, as it is very important for the beast tamers.

Normally, after awakening students need not come to the school but once they awaken, the school would teach them a meditation technique, which would be very useful for beast tamers.

This is why Chris was rushing to school.
