A few days later...

Instead of Jean Grey or White Mist watching over the beast tamers who joined the training camp, it was Satoshi who took over, instructing everyone how to integrate with two of their tamed beasts.

Quite frankly, Satoshi had no idea why he was given the task when he had no idea how to teach someone in the first place. Then again, no one could perform a Dual Beast Integration except him, so he didn\'t really have that much of a choice.

The first one who showed considerable promise was surprisingly Shoyo. He was able to integrate with two of his beasts, but he could only do it in five seconds. After that, he felt so exhausted he could die.

Jean Grey and White Mist were surprised since Shoyo was the first one to understand the fundamentals of the skill. The two of them may be beast masters, but they couldn\'t hold a candle to Shoyo\'s improvement. Satoshi surmised that it was probably because of their foundation.

For years, they had a linear approach when it comes to Beast Integration and their mind developed a subconscious habit that prevented them to integrate with two beasts. Satoshi indirectly told the two of them to learn from scratch despite the fact that he had no idea how to teach the Dual Beast Integration.

Then again, Shoyo was able to do it. The others who saw Shoyo\'s improvement got even more fired up. There was no way they\'d let Shoyo leave them in the dust. Needless to say, Shoyo\'s surprising level-up gave everyone the boost and the motivation they needed.

Back to the present, it was the usual morning when Satoshi and the others headed to the training facility. They were still staying by the Grand Hotel, that\'s why Satoshi didn\'t have a hard time with his schedule (he did have to ask for a couple of days\' leave from his agency since he was still under the Eye Goddess by the Heimdall Agency. Eye Goddess didn\'t even ask for specifics, she just allowed his leave as soon as he asked).

Sitting in front of everyone, Satoshi closed his eyes to try to channel his energy towards all his familiars/tamed beasts.

While he still had no idea how his powers work, he could tell that his tamed beasts were improving much faster than normal. The causes were unknown, but Satoshi concluded that his familiars continued to increase in power because he was subconsciously channeling his powers into them. Right now, he decided to give them his energy as much as he could in hopes that they\'ll improve right before the Official Beast Tournament.

What he didn\'t know, however, was that his superpower wasn\'t the main reason why his familiars were constantly improving. Inside Orb Oboros\'s dimensional space for Satoshi\'s familiars, everyone was having a blast fighting against each other.

That\'s right, unbeknownst to Satoshi, his familiars were actually training deep within the storage space provided by Orb Oboros. And what\'s more, they could fight without holding back since Satoshi\'s energy immediately healed them up if something were to happen. They also don\'t easily get tired because of the same reason. That\'s why they could train as much as they could without worrying about getting tired or getting injured.

And now that Satoshi transitioned into consciously feeding them energy from his superpower, his familiars got an even greater boon. Now, their powers constantly increased while they trained. This was one of the rare opportunities where they could get strong in a short span of time and they didn\'t want to waste the chance.

The fights between Satoshi\'s familiars began once again.

"Satoshi um... Satoshi-sensei?" Shoyo called him out of nowhere.

"Yes?" Satoshi responded in a calm manner even though his concentration was interrupted by Shoyo/

"How can you maintain your Dual Beast Integration for more than five seconds? Is there a trick to it?" Shoyo asked out of curiosity. He had been practicing for a couple of days now but he still hasn\'t seen any noticeable improvements. Left with no choice, he finally decided to ask Satoshi for advice.

​ Pressing his thumb on his chin, Satoshi thought about it for a couple of seconds while casually glancing towards the other beast tamers who were still struggling to integrate with two of their tamed beasts. "I think you can compare it to running and endurance. When it comes to running, it is better to pace yourself rather than burn yourself out sprinting a couple of hundred meters. Dual Beast Integration works the same way as well."

"For now, try to integrate with one of your beasts and adjust your power output. Get a feel for that power output and make sure you remember that when you perform a Dual Beast Integration. I guess... you should aim for ten percent power for both of them? You\'ll be sure to see the difference if you do it... and also, you\'ll be able to last longer."

At first, Satoshi concluded that it all comes down to innate talent... but then he remembered the time when he lost control of his Dual Beast Integration during the Inter-High Tournament. He didn\'t want that to happen again, that\'s why he trained in adjusting the power output of every familiar every time he integrates. It worked wonders, and not only did he get more control, but he was able to recognize his limits and adjust everything so he won\'t exceed or lack power output when it comes down to it.

He still couldn\'t believe that he was teaching beast tamers about Dual Beast Integration though, but he decided to help out as much as he could.

The other beast tamers who were near Satoshi when he gave Shoyo some advice decided to heed his advice. They stopped thinking about Dual Beast Integration first and instead tried to adjust their power output while integrated with one tamed beast. This didn\'t even occur in their minds since they always aim for one hundred percent every single time.

Jean Grey and White Mist also did the same. They didn\'t want to lag behind the new generation of beast tamers... their pride was on the line here, there was no way they\'d allow themselves to lose.

Even though everyone\'s got two of their tamed beast out, Jean Grey decided to step back a little bit and retrieve his Azure Lightning Tiger. Right now, he was going to focus on integrating with Rychtyosaur, his steel and flying type tamed beast, one of the legendary beasts he used against White Mist during their official beast battle.

"Work with me on this one, all right?" Jean Grey said, petting the Rychtyosaur under the chin before integrating with it.

The Beast Integration was successful, but Jean Grey wasn\'t over yet. He decided to manually control his power output by suppressing his aura. First, he tried to suppress fifty percent of it. The steel wings on Jean Grey\'s back started to shake as Jean Grey tread the thin line between maintaining and losing his focus. He gritted his teeth as beads of sweat poured from his forehead.

\'Suppressing my power is harder than I thought... but this is not enough. In order to perform a Dual Beast Integration, I should be able to adjust my power output as soon as I think it. How unbefitting of a beast master... to think that my control over my tamed beast is still at beginner level.\' Jean Grey said to himself.

Once his control stabilized a little bit, Jean Grey decided to let out a little bit of his aura. Now, his power output was at sixty percent... and as usual, he still had a hard time maintaining it. His mind then drifted to the time when Satoshi performed a Dual Beast Integration in front of everyone. His intricate control over his power level was beyond mastery.

\'If I can\'t do at least that much... then I shouldn\'t be called a beast master.\' Jean Grey said to himself. Affirming his determination, Jean Grey continued to adjust his power level. He didn\'t rest at all. Even when some of the beast tamers around him were sitting down and taking a little break, he kept at it.

"There\'s no way you\'ll leave me behind, Jean Grey." White Mist called out, forcing a smile on his face when Jean Grey turned towards him. He was nearing his limit since he had integrated with Death Metronome. But just like Jean Grey, he continued pushing forward. \'If I can\'t master adjusting my power output with precision, then I\'m a disgrace as the bearer of the beast master title\' White Mist said in his mind.

Seeing the two beast masters still standing after hours upon hours of training, the other beast tamers who decided to rest a little bit felt a little guilty. Without anyone telling them to, they stood up and bit their lips.

There was no way they\'d let the beast masters work harder than them. In fact, they were the ones who were supposed to work harder than the beast masters if they could ever hope to catch up to them.

"That\'s more like it." Satoshi said to himself as he stood up. After witnessing everyone\'s grit, he felt fired up as well. He decided to practice along with them.
