Chapter 207 Beyond Logic And Knowledge
It was even rare for a human to enter a trance state, but in front of her was a beast that could enter a trance state; this was against logic and beyond her knowledge. She had a question in her mind: Why could this beast do it? Why is it trying so hard to fight its fate? Was it because he wanted to become stronger, or was there another reason behind it?
Rishi was able to connect to his contract beast and sense and understand why it was trying so hard. His eyes welled up; he tried to control himself but was unable to. This idiot was trying so hard to always remain with Rishi; he feared that Rishi would cast him away like other Beast Tamers if he didn't prove himself useful to him. When given the choice of dying or being left alone, he chose death as a better option, as other than Rishi, he didn't have anyone in this world. He would break apart the moment Rishi again left him; the memories of how he survived being alone in the forest were still fresh in his mind.
The only reason he was so happy and became so strong was due to Rishi, who always took care of him. He had done his all to provide him with the best resources, but due to his limitations, no matter how hard he tried, he was always left behind by Rishi.
When he evolved for the first time, he was delighted and believed he would help Rishi, but after some time, he realized that he could not help him at all. The only thing he could do was act as a mount, but he was not even able to do that thing properly.
He still remembered stage 2 of the Guild Competition, where he could not help his master escape. At the moment in his life when he needed him most, he failed to help Rishi, but that was not the end. At last, he became a shackle to Rishi, which stopped him from escaping. He saw with his eyes how those disgusting humans grouped upon his master, and he was so weak that he could not do anything.
He cried that day for the first time. He was born as a tiger; he had never cried since the day he was born, no matter how much he was in pain, but when he saw how useless he was, his pride didn't let him sleep. He started to increase his training and even succeeded in learning an ultimate skill, but that was a defensive skill. As his level increased, his attacks became even less noteworthy.
Then the second humiliation happened: he lost to a baby beast. He still remembered how hard his master tried to guide him. With his intelligence, he was even able to defeat a powerful opponent like the 'Boxing Frog,' but when he faced the 'Spark Fox,' he tried his best but could not overcome his opponent. He tried his all and was even ready to risk his life, but his master decided to surrender so he wouldn't get hurt any further.
Even when he knew that he was no good at attacking, he decided to learn defensive spells and become a good shield. He was even happy when he was about to die at the hands of the 'Undead Knight' protecting his master. At last, he was relieved; at least he could be useful.
He closed his eyes and was ready to leave this world but somehow survived. That was not all; he even received praise from his master after a long time.
How can he back down when he knows he can evolve into a strong beast and follow his master on his journey? If other Magic Beasts heard his thoughts, they would laugh at him and even think he was dumb. How can he trust a human? Evolving a beast was very complicated; no one could promise that he would be successfully able to evolve a beast, but he didn't think like that; he knew his master would never lie to him. If he said that it was possible and he could do it, then it was possible.
He decided to help his master by assisting him as much as possible. Previously, his master was responsible for everything, but this time, even though he was helpless, he told him that he would need to learn how to wield a sword and master a sword technique to evolve. Instead of being disappointed or scared, he was happy that he could finally share some burden, but when he started learning it, he realized how hard it was.
He saw the disappointed look on his master's face every day when he saw that he was unable to improve; he was not even able to sleep properly at night. He even practiced on nights when he required very little sleep; he had even stopped focusing on other things. There was only one goal in his mind, which was to stay forever with his master but to complete his goal, he needed to master swordsmanship.
He kept trying to learn swordsmanship. First, he tried with a blunt sword for a long time before realizing he was missing something. At last, he decided to train with a proper sword. Today, he started wielding it and realized that he had progressed faster than before. After learning the basics, he started to copy the movements, and that was where the complications started.
He injured himself many times and even cried in pain, but he didn't stop; he ignored everything else and decided not to waste time and focus solely on mastering swordsmanship. His body was filled with wounds, his legs were shaking, even his jaws were feeling pain, and he was tired, but he didn't want to stop; he kept training. Then, he suddenly forgot about everything and started focusing on only his sword. This time he improved at a rate incomparable to before; many insights entered his mind, and he was able to comprehend the meaning behind the strange pattern it looked at every day.
