after pulling an allnighter with bloodshot eyes Leaf finally finished the commission from his client he was just about to submit it with a sigh of relief but the very next second a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck him dead on in an instant he was transported to another world when he opened his eyes the first creature he saw was none other than the silver wolf he had just drawn in his artwork now standing before him alive before he could process what was happening a deafening explosion boomed in the distance the silver wolf
twitched its ears and suddenly bolted toward the source of the blast Lea still completely confused instinctively turned to follow its path the wolf had already planted itself in front of three Burly men one of them sneered am I seeing this right a low-level Phantom Beast dares block my way Leaf's heart skipped a beat Phantom Beast that title didn't sound ordinary at all the man gritted his teeth and snapped what so funny is it wrong for me to want to join the Phantom Beast Association the fat one burst out laughing you join the Phantom Beast Association
don't make me laugh that's the most elite group on the entire Brad continent you're not even qualified to stand near the gate just then another explosion rocked the air round two the fat guy's face Twisted in panic as he scrambled to get out of the blast the guy with a broom head haircut lit up with excitement boss let me take care of this trash I'll strip him down and toss him in the street let the whole town enjoy the show he shot the silver wolf a disgusted glance lousy Phantom Beast move it or get kicked
off the street he raised his foot ready to pun it away but leay stepped in like lightning blocking the kit cold his voice was sharp as a blade that's enough you feel proud bullying those weaker than you in public he didn't expect his own strength his grip was so powerful it shove the man back several steps the broom head guy look stunned this kid strong way too strong Lefay turned to the man he'd saved speaking with genuine concern you all right man come on let's not waste our time with these clowns the broomhead man was
Furious now veins popping this brat he dared to ignore me you punks will pay for this I swear the fat guy snickered oh boy cu's pissed well say goodbye to this street it's about to get wrecked CI roared bronze kangaroo crush him in the blink of an eye CI leapt into the air and fused with the bronze kangaroo Cudi and the bronze kangaroo completed their Fusion their power surged Lea thought are you kidding me is everyone here monster the man in the coach shouted run a bronze tier Fusion we can't win Lea asked Fusion what
you talking about the man replied aren't you a phantom Tamer isn't that white wolfers Phantom Tamers can fuse with their beasts to gain power there are six tiar the higher the stronger ours just commenter he's bronze we don't stand a chance Lea Fay muttered with that strength why' you mess with him the man snapped they blocked the path to the Phantom Beast assoc iation and bullied others with their High tier Beast they don't deserve to join Lea s fine but don't drag me into it CI now fused jumped and charged toward them an explosion burst
behind leay Flames lighting up the street cudy sneered you really care about this trash oh right you're trash too the man in the coach shouted the Phantom Beast Association exists to help Ordinary People no matter how strong you are Someone Like You will never earn their respect ah who cares if I kill all the other applicants they'll have no choice but to choose me in Brad continent strength rules everything the man held his cat like Phantom Beast tightly preparing to fuse but cuy threw a punch and stopped the fusion mid motion just then Leaf Heard
a Voice damn it if I were a phantom Tamer I'd never let this happen he Froze that voice could it be coming from the silver wolf Leaf picked up the silver wolf and said since we came to this world together let's fight for what we believe is right in the next moment a brilliant Golden Light burst from them both CI gasped a phantom Tamer Awakening the light surged and leaf successfully fused with the silver wolf a thought stirred in Leaf's heart sebi so your real name is infinite demon wolf a beast that responds to the
heart this power is amazing as long as you keep fighting you can keep breaking through a phantom BEAST's rank limit Cy Dove from above aiming a heavy punch at leay even if you're a Tamer fusing with a common Beast still makes you trash Lefay caught his face with one hand and said calmly I've already figured out your weakness the next second cuy was slammed To The Ground by sheer force Leaf helped the Coke guy up and smiled I'm Lea let's be friends the man nodded nam's Barto C he growled why just a fusion with a
common Beast how is it stronger than me he roared and launched a Gil fist straight at Lea Leaf saw it coming dodged quickly and countered with a clean punch bronze beasts are powerful he said but without sensing their heart you'll never unlock their true strength Cy snapped what nonsense Phantom beasts are weap weapons all that matters is power who needs a heart suddenly the kangaroo Phantom Beast jumped out of cu's body CI shouted no way the Fusion's broken get back here you dumb Beast Lea replied calmly your Beast felt your contempt it feared you'd throw
it away someday so it left first just then a man walked up and said with a smile gentlemen interested in joining the Phantom Beast Association the next day a group of them arrived at the association BTO grabbed leay and shook him wildly tell me I'm not dreaming Master moafi himself invited us Le s stop shaking me I need my neck intact so what's the big deal about this Association anyway Barto explained on Brad continent there are four major human powers the Phantom Beast Association is one of them right below the three grand duchies Legend says
that for tens thousands of years the three duchies were locked in endless war leaving the land in Ruins then one legendary fandom Tamer stepped forward to end the Bloodshed the Crimson Lion King lanhe he defeated the three duchies and founded the Phantom Beast Association all factions feared the Phantom Beast Association and because of it peace returned to the Brad continent lenheim believed that the stronger you are the more you should help others that's why the association's mission is to fulfill every reasonable request Barto clenched his fists and shouted I have a dream one day I'll
become someone like lay I'm Leaf thought to himself this Phantom Beast Association actually sounds pretty decent just then moafi stepped onto the stage welcome everyone to join the Phantom Beast Association kindness alone is not enough you also need strength and the ability to handle all kinds of challenges this year only nine people will be accepted each island gets just three spots on your journey you'll face many obstacles overcome them and claim a spot you'll earn your place in the association you may fight for your spot but no killing is allowed break the rules and you're
out I'll be watching you myself now then let the trial begin as soon as the signal was given a crowd of participants dashed toward the trial grounds watching the chaos unfold Lea thought so this is the association's trial way more exciting than drawing all day one Man rushed ahead and shouted everyone this spot's perfect for my Beast I'm going first with that he jumped straight into the water ride the waves flying fish others called out hey is that cheating why isn't he sinking there's something under his feet sure enough a winged fish was gliding beneath
him he pointed forward skip the Burning Bridge take the water route this spot's mine suddenly a massive water just shot up launching him and the Flying Fish into the air the man gasped you've got to be kidding what is that in the very next moment a giant crocodile snapped its jaws and clamped down on a flying fish before the man could react a woman's whip lashed out and wrapped tightly around him in the next instant he was slammed hard into the ground looking down at him the woman said coldly you're eliminated her tone shifted as
she announced I'm your designated rescue officer but don't do anything stupid or you will die bto's eyes lit up wao she's so cool Leaf blinked Bardo what was that it looked insanely strong the woman answered that a Fong too crocodile a low tier magical Beast that lives in large swamps it's extremely Territorial and attacks anything that enters magical beasts are as famous as Phantom beasts they're not only physically powerful they can cast deadly magic for rookie Tamers like us we don't stand a chance Lea tilted his head um Miss do we know each other the
woman smirked nope but looking at the situation there's no way to pass this trial solo I want you two to be on my team the Flaming Bridge drain means stamina fast and a water route has magical beasts either way common Phantom beasts can't make it across all three islands BTO asked confused then why pick us Lea thought silently she's sharp figure out the test purpose so quickly Lya summoned her Phantom Beast I've been watching you too one of your beasts is a cat the other's a dog both alert and aggressive with mine added in we'll
pass for sure I'm Loya from now on I'll be your team leader any objections both of them replied none Lya pointed to a distant Island then it's settled Target Sun Island let's go meanwhile on the other side two participants were blocked by a group one of them shouted you already got your membership why are you attacking us the redhair man smirked don't get it twisted my big bro couldn't care less about joining then what do you want the others asked clearly confused the redhair man's gaze turned sharp simple we just want to see how strong
you really are black Iron Red Monkey Fusion the red-haired man smirked arrogantly come to me all at once I need a little warm up one shouted don't fall for his bluff everyone attack take this lunatic down in an instant several participants were knocked out cold by the red-haired man the chubby guy sat lazily under a tree R 5 Seconds seconds clean up the trash Rhett casually licked his nails plenty of time bro these candidates super flimsy this year the big guy scoffed boring none of them caught my interest except for that one surprising kid one
angry participant yelled what you're doing is against the rules the examiners won't let this slide Rett grinned rules say no killing and last I checked you're still breathing bro Red Monkey just gave a signal he's here are we avenging cui or what the big guy's eyes gleamed if Cy got taken out he's just trash too but if that kid really beat him he might actually be fun a break I'm getting excited Lea and the others arrived at Sun Island where a massive tree stood tall before them they noticed several people lying unconscious on the ground
Lya frowned who took them all down just then two figures under the tree spoke up you finally showed up Lea asked confused with your strength you could have passed easily why take down everyone else the big guy's eyes burn red qualification I don't care about that I was on a good fight you beat cuy that earns my attention don't disappoint me Golden Lion Fusion Now give me a fight worth enjoying Lea quickly fused with the silverwolf in response the big guy roared with excitement yes that's it now this is getting fun seeing Le Fay hold
him off Lya rushed into Len support Lya tried to move but Rhett stepped in stay put I'm not letting you interfere with the boss while blocking the heavy attacks Lea Fay asked is this all for avenging that kangaroo the big guy snorted I'm not that bored what pisses me off is how you treat your Phantom Beast he landed a punch on Lea knocking him back Lea was stunned was he even talking about every Phantom Beast has Limitless potential they need to fight only through endless battles can they break their rank they're the ultimate weapons of
war and you just awakened and beat cuy yet treat your Beast like a pet idiots like you and your beasts don't deserve to live in this world it's over he shouted slamming Le Fay to the ground with a brutal punch he scoffed pathetic that wasn't satisfying at all just as the big guy turned to walk away Lea sat up and smirked looks like I can take a hit better than you thought the big guy paused his eyes widened Leaf's Phantom Beast had just evolved to Bron's rank he lit up with excitement I knew it battle
is the key to unlocking a beast potential all right kid round two but Lea didn't agree with him that punch you landed I felt your Beast emotions it wasn't fear it was care gratitude and deep worry for you the big guy's face darkened what the hell are you talking about Lea gently stroked the silver wolf I don't know what you two have been through but I can tell it wanted to get stronger for you it pushed itself to the Limit and now it can't go any further it's not worried about itself it's worried about you
you kept pushing it treating yourself like a tool it's grateful but it's exhausted it wants to rest and it wants you to rest too you've never really listened to your Beast the big guy roared enough rest in this world where the weak are crushed Only the Strong Survive and you trash like you don't get to lecture me you love running your mouth huh the big guy growled then I'll shut it for good he charged at Lea Fay again but the next moment he froze Lea was keeping up with his movements with perfect timing Leaf landed
a heavy kick and sent him flying a thunderous blast echoed through the air as dust and smoke filled the field When the Smoke cleared the big guy stared in disbelief how did you find my weakness Lea replied calmly when you and your Beast aren't in syn your aura cracks I just waited for that and struck the big guy looked up at the sky sighing so that's how C he lost to feeling your BEAST's emotions that's some rare Talent his mind drifted back to when he was always bullied he remembered a time when a Phantom Beast
stood in front of him and he thought it wanted to steal his lunch so he clenched his fists and stood tall to protect that one simple meal so he fought the Phantom Beast with everything he had during that fight the Beast evolved into a bronze tier he thought he was going to die but honestly going out like that felt more honorable than starving but the Beast didn't finish him off instead it pushed the lunch back toward him at the time he figured it was sparing him because he had helped awaken its po potential after eating
he thanked the Beast and made a promise he'd do everything he could to help it grow stronger and if he failed it had permission to eat him now that he looked back he realized the lunch wasn't a favor it was a friendship offering at last rastar understood true strength came from caring for your Beast listening to it that was the real way to grow together he stood up slowly and asked Hey kid what's your name Lea Fay introduced himself rastar nodded name's RAR you better remember it next time you might not win suddenly a massive
explosion erupted somewhere in the exam grounds a staff member shouted through a loudspeaker all candidates attention the exam grounds are under attack by an unknown Intruder evacuate immediately as they ran the candidates muttered is this a joke who's crazy enough to mess with a Phantom Beast Association suddenly a knight on a towering warhorse appeared ahead Rhett rastar and others were already lying defeated At His Feet the Knight sneered you think I'd let such valuable hostages slip through my fingers lya's eyes narrowed hostages you plan to use us against the association pointing his weapon at her
the Knight replied coldly exactly if all these rookies vanish in one go let's see if the Association still dares to claim power on Brad continent he smirked don't say I didn't give you a chance fight me win and you walk free the trio exchanged glances then each fused with their Phantom Beast they stood their ground ready for battle the Knight spurred his horse forward charging straight at them like a bolt of Thunder Barto was the first to charge swinging wildly at the night but with a casual sweep of his weapon the Knight Barto flying seeing
BTO down Lya quickly stepped forward I'll handle this she Drew her bow and fired a volley of arrows at the night the Knight spun his weapon effortlessly blocking every shot as the weapon spun faster it created a swirling Vortex turning into a full-blown Tornado from within the Whirlwind his weapon burst forth lunging straight at Loya in a Flash the Knight galloped past and grabbed her with one hand got you little snow Eagle he sneered he then hurled her into the air and Unleashed a wave of searing Flames toward her just in time Leaf leapt into
the air and caught Loya saving her from the blast leay told Lya take care of Barto I'll handle the rest the Knight smirked not that strong but I'll give you this you sure could take a hit Lea replied calmly I've already figured out your weakness the night burst out laughing my weakness all right come on then I won't move if you can hurt me I'll let you walk free Lea F's eyes sharpened let's find out then he charged forward launching a punch his fist surrounded by the glowing image of a wolf's head the Knight raised
his weapon to block startled impressive Beast manifestation a full syn rate didn't expect a genius like you in this batch Leaf face smirked I'm just getting started in one swift move he grabbed the warhorse by the head and slammed it down to the ground the Knight landed and steadied himself cursing nightmare you damn Beast Leaf stood at top the warhorse and said calmly just as I thought your Beast is special Fusion only works when you're riding it once you're off the fusion ends so all we have to do is deal with you the Knight stared
in disbelief how do you know that LE face smirked I can feel your Beast emotions the night's expression Twisted into madness incredible a common Beast full sync and emotional resonance just how many secrets are you hiding with Talent like yours the Phantom Beast Association is a waste join our mercenary Corp we'll give you the best resources you'll be famous across the continent in no time Lefay replied firmly I don't know anything about your mercenary group and frankly I don't like how you recruit people the Knight chuckled what a shame but take your time to think
it over leay frowned not quite understanding what he meant the Knight grinned Darkly you really thought separating me from Nightmare would win you the fight just then the nightmare pinned under Leaf's foot began to rise again Leaf's eyes widened he hadn't even noticed when the Beast recovered the Knight attacked sneering take a nice nap when you wake up you can think seriously about your future a massive explosion followed shaking everything around no one knew how much time had passed Leaf slowly opened his eyes to the sound of Barto calling his name his vision blurred he
thought he saw two big white fluffy shapes wait are we eating drooling he leaned in ready to take a bite and was immediately punched by Loya groaning Lea thought I've been through battle after battle and still haven't had a proper meal after a moment he sat up and asked where are we Barto answered underground prison we're beneath Sun Island Lea blinked there's a prison under the island Barto explained long ago the three islands were overrun with magical beasts the association built this underground prison to lock up the strongest ones so they could set up a
base Leaf got up and walked the bars gripping them tight and giving them a hard pull Lya shook her head don't waste your strength this place holds highle magical beasts with our current power there's no way out unless we use that across from them were several small cages each holding a Phantom Beast Leaf immediately spotted his own Beast locked among them to stop us from fusing and breaking out they injected the beasts with tranquilizers even if they wake up the distance is too far fuse at that moment Le seemed to hear a faint voice echo
in his mind master where are you I want to come out Leaf stood up Fusion maybe I can do it lya's eyes widened you can wait do you have 100% Fusion compatibility Lea Fay blinked 100% that's special Lya explained it means you and your Beast are fully in sync mind heart and soul it said the Crimson Lion King Lane Heim had that gift only with full Fusion can someone call a fainted beast from afar a man in the next cell chimed in they say full sink also makes your Beast evolve and grow faster kid you
hit the jackpot with that Talent Leaf scratched his head a bit embarrassed the man shouted save it if you canuse do it now break us out of here LEF shouted seia by fuse with me in the next instant the fuse was complete power surged through him as he tore open the prison bars voices erupted around him help over here with a single punch Leaf face shattered another cell's gate like it was paper he turned to the others find your Phantom beasts now we're getting out of here together the group rushed to reunite with their beasts
and bolted toward the exit but just as they neared the doorway everyone stopped stunned by what stood ahead a lone man blocked the exit smirking fusing with your beasts and escaping I clearly underestimated you someone whispered Don't Panic you just one guy letun take him together the man didn't Flinch pitiful mob Shou Ching show them some pain the green snake coiled around the man hissed and flicked its tongue then sprayed Venom across the crowd dropping several people instantly the man's gaze locked onto Lea full Fusion compatibility no wonder you broke out of the prison but
you're just one guy how do you plan to save them all Leaf stood firm if I take you down everyone walks free the man stroked the snake's head interesting let's see if you've got the strength to back that up Shia Ching strangle him with a hiss the snake lunged straight at Lea Lea and his team leapt aside narrowly dodging the strike RAR growled damn it without Fusion we're dead weight but snapped not true Lea duck and punch sure enough Lea crouched low and slammed a powerful fist straight into the snake's head Leaf was stunned how
did Lya predict that attack so perfectly Lya didn't pause Lea jump flying kick Lea followed her lead and nailed the green snake madir sending it flying how did you know it would strike from there he asked Lya huffed none of your business it's just in Instinct now shut up and follow orders the Man's eyes narrowed a full sync Tamer a girl with scary battle instincts and a guy with a rare golden Beast these examinees are interesting he sneered but don't get cocky you think Shou Ching's power ends there the snake coiled itself and slowly rose
again this time radiating dark ominous energy Leaf's heart tightened this Beast alone is overwhelming and the man hasn't even started fighting yet what do we do now stroking the snake the man said that's enough Shou Ching you're hurt go heal up then he turned his back on them and walked away even if you break out of this prison you're not escaping I'm heading to the main hall to treat Shia Ching you better hope the Phantom Beast Association comes to pay your Ransom before leaving the man snarled if you cause me any more trouble I'll make
you regret ever being born in this World a powerful Aura erupted from his body instantly paralyzing Lea Fay and the others with fear after ending his Fusion Lea collapsed to the ground thinking is he looking down on us he didn't even fuse with his Beast are we really that weak rastar gritted his teeth carrying his injured Beast that Arrogant Bastard one day we'll make him pay but now that he's gone to the hall how do we get out of here Barto pointed Mimi's signaling us to follow it says it found a way out they chased
after Mimi and after a long run finally spotted the exit ahead but the path was blocked by towering rows of steep mountains panting Lea crawled up a slope and groaned what is wrong with the Phantom Beast Association who supposed to climb this hearing Lya and Barto mocking him while easily scaling The Cliffs Leaf face snapped easy for you too l boy can fly and bto's a Catman has anyone thought about me standing at top the mountain the three looked toward the central island L's expression turned serious forget that I finally understand what that Jailer meant
before he left leay looked around and said grimly we made it up here but we're still surrounded by rivers with our current strength there's no way we can handle the beasts in the water the only way out is back through the main hall BTO frowned but the Hall's guarded by Elites that guy who blocked the bridge and the Jailer too we can't beat them LEF replied if everyone regroups maybe we can escape if we work together but Lya shook her head their beasts were just sedated even if they fuse they'll barely have any strength left
Le's eyes lit up if this used to be a training site maybe there's a hidden passage there's a library in the hall I'll go check for info if I find something I'll come back and tell you immediately as Lea disappeared into the distance Lya thought to herself don't you realize how dangerous this is leaf slipped into a hidden passage and peered through crack inside the hall he saw three people two of whom he recognized just then a woman's voice echoed how long do we have to stay here one of the men replied coldly what the
rush the three duchies forbid us from capturing rare Phantom beasts openly but our commander won't let them have their way this move against the association it's a warning and negotiations take time the woman sighed still babysitting these examinees is so boring the man stood up and said casually if you're bored go use them for taret practice no sense letting your skills get rusty the floor cracked under his last strike turns out he'd used that blow to locate Leaf fade hiding spot busted Lea awkwardly waved hey there everyone as the woman walked toward him he raised
a hand wait what if I said I was just passing by would you believe that she smiled sweetly of course I believe you but now that you're here we can't let you leave you're probably wondering how to escape from sun moon and star islands and how we found you right Leaf stared at her she looks familiar well have I seen her before and how does she know exactly what I'm thinking she raised her hand a small green insect sat calmly in her Palm its eyes flickered like a projector casting images of everything Lea Fay and
his group had done that was her Phantom Beast the lens bug nothing they did had been hidden from her Leaf's heart sank this is bad with her watching everything how the hell are we supposed to escape a flicker of flame danced on a woman's fingertip as she smiled but since you made it this far our little brother big sis has to give you a reward she lit a nearby candle and said softly if you can block all my attacks before this candle burns out I'll tell you how to escape the three islands Leaf blinked aren't
you worried I might actually escape the man nearby burst out laughing if you do Escape well that's your own skill LEF thought to himself these three are way too confident they probably aren't bluffing all right I'll give a shot he declared then quickly fused with silverwolf the woman stepped forward as soon as he transformed your forms tighter you've gotten better again let's see what you've got now she cracked her whip toward him Lea dodged back just in time the whip lashed out again Swift and vicious forcing him into full defense taking cover behind a pillar
Lea caught his breath but the woman smirked ah don't tell me you're going to hide and wait out the clock that' be such a disappointment little brother with a fierce snap of her whip she summoned razor sharp wind birds that soared toward Lea in the next instant the pillar he hid behind was sliced clean into pieces Leaf couldn't help but think she's insanely strong one of the men warned hey don't go overboard if all the pillars fall the place might collapse the woman scoffed shut up who asked you having witnessed her strength first firstand Lea
broke into a sweat I need a way to dodge fast suddenly an idea struck he grabbed the edge of the floor and yanked it upward the chunk of flooring shielded him successfully blocking the incoming wind blades the woman chuckled using the floor to block wind blades clever but wind blades aren't all I've got she lashed her whip again this time slicing the entire floor panel into flying shards but right in that moment of chaos Leaf's eyes lit up there an opening yet just as he was about to strike her whip came lashing straight toward him
in seconds Leaf was tightly Bound by the whip wrapped up like a cocoon the woman smirked My Lens bug sees through every move you make there's nothing you can hide from me your every motion is mine to read the candle's still burning be a good boy and go sit down I had fun this time but there won't be next but Le Fay remained calm I'm not done yet in a Flash he disengages fusion with silverwolf freed silver wolf instantly lunged toward the woman caught off guard she watched in shock as the wolf bit down on
her whip this is my final move catch it if you can Leaf roared with the bindings broken he leapt forward and launched a fierce kick straight at her not far away one of the men burst out laughing Nia you got tricked by kid that's hilarious shut it sorrow you looking to die Mia snapped back Furious another man watched calmly commenting using the defusion window to slip the bindings then counterattacking impressive reflexes meanwhile the candle was nearly burned to the base Mia flipped her hair and said cooly not bad little brother a Deal's a deal under
the great Tree on sun Island there's a hidden path it'll take you out go tell the others Lea slumped to the ground panting I'm done too tired to keep fighting but in his mind he frowned wasn't this woman supposed to be an exam protector what the heck is going on here sorrow chuckled you're going to sit there no heroic Last Stand Lea responded calmly if you really want to let them go they'll walk free but if you don't no one's getting out sorrow grinned smart kid Nia looks like he figured you out at that moment
Nia's Linds projected an image of Loya and the others Lya stood at the front rallying everyone we can't just sit and wait Leaf risked himself for us we're not abandoning him we're going to save him together rastar rolled his shoulders and grin can't let that guy steal all the spotlight no matter what's ahead we won't know unless we charge in the other candidates raised their voices let's go save Lea Fay back in a hall Nia chuckled looks like you've got quite the fan club at that moment the man calmly pushed open the main doors all
right objective achieved no need to drag this out letun let them in as the door swung open Lea greeted Loya and the others Lya blinked in confusion wait what's going on here the man removed his helmet and spoke name's Frank division head of the Fantom Beast Association I officially announce everyone here has passed the exam the examinees looked around in disbelief completely confused suddenly Master moafi appeared behind them without a sound he explained the Phantom Beast Association was created to protect the common people of Brad continent danger can strike at any time that's why aside
from strength loyalty and unity among allies are vital originally the hidden path under Sun Island wasn't guarded but anyone who tried to leave through it would have immediately lose their qualification the fact that all of you rushed in to save leay proves your loyalty moafi declared the Phantom Beast Association welcomes you suddenly the ground trembled beneath their feet moments later a passageway opened up leading deep underground moafi turned serious starring today the four of us will personally train you Nia added and know this if we don't approve of you you'll never leave this place you
have 5 minutes to decide join us or miss the chance forever Lea Fay hesitated should we really go down if we fail we might be stuck down there forever after a quick discussion the three nodded let's do it we didn't come this far to back down now moafi smiled those brave enough to go first often get rewarded follow me they stepped into a vast underground complex this is the library the training Hall cafeteria and Recovery Center I'll show you to the dorms next as they walk through a corridor Lea Fay asked curiously so what's this
hallway for moafi gave him a mysterious smile this hallway feel free to give a try Lya stepped forward with a grin try it you don't have to ask me twice instantly hidden mechanisms triggered arrows shot out from both sides of the corridor as Lya took a few steps forward the arrows flew directly tored her in a deadly wave but for her it was Child's Play She dodged with ease graceful and unbothered yet as one Arrow passed close to her face she noticed something strange on its tip Le suddenly shouted Loya watch out something's off with
those arrows seconds later the ground where Loya had just been erupted in a fiery explosion thankfully Leaf had grabbed her in time pulling her away from the blast BTO rushed over concern on his face are you too okay Furious Le clenched his fist and swung at moafi can I punch you who sends rookies into death traps like this moafi casually blocked the punch with his blade grinning now now don't be mad you're all fine aren't you Lya stepped forward touched thanks for saving me and for standing up for me moafi finally got serious that hallway
is called the trial path 36 types of traps 72 mechanisms anyone who walks through it earns our respect plus it's the only way out why do you think we have a recovery center nearby because people actually get hurt here but don't worry we've got the best doctors and medical Phantom beasts even if you die we can still bring you back as long as it's not too long Lea Fay muttered honestly that just makes it sound worse suddenly a green gelatinous oneeyed monster slid into view moafi pointed all right show me what You' got without warning
the creature's green tentacles lashed out toward Lea and silverwolf in seconds all three of them were completely entangled Leaf tried to fuse with silver wolf but nothing happened the connection wouldn't form moafi chuckled that creature's name is Austy it can block all communication between Tamers and their beasts it also reads your Fusion compatibility based on the results we'll create customized training plans for each of you he nudged ausy all right stop scaring the newbies give us the results osty sigh dramatically ug no fun all work and no play Barto your Fusion rate is 83% very
good your little kitty clearly trusts you with more bonding and battle you two can go even further when it came to Lea Fay and Lya suddenly paused then eyes wide it gasped incredible both of them have 100% Fusion compatibility Lea and Loya were stunned they exchanged shocked glances a full sync rate of 100% I haven't seen that in over a century Austy said in awe even after brutal training and countless battles it's rare and now two of them at once if they train hard enough they might even reach the level of the Crimson Lion King
moafi raised an eyebrow you really have that much faith in them Lea glanced sideways at Lya thinking me and silverwolf hit 100% I've seen the strange power it unlocked but Loya hasn't shown anything unusual what's going on Le asked directly Loya have you noticed any special abilities with your Beast Lya they shook her head no nothing so far moaf nodded thoughtfully looks like you were born with 100% Fusion so you don't even notice it but that just means training is necessary to bring your powers to the surface listen up you three starting now I'm your
instructor tomorrow begins your hell training it won't stop until youve fully graduated now go get some sleep report at 8 a.m. sharp oh and don't eat breakfast Leaf flopped onto his bed with a grin man a wild couple of days finally I can rest properly but then he frowned remembering MOS zafi's odd warning don't eat breakfast what kind of training needs an empty stomach he muttered the next morning in the underground training Arena moafi addressed them you three may have some strength but you still need to understand what Phantom beasts truly are Phantom beasts are
born with Fantastical Powers they can mimic any energy to unleash attack they're ranked by quality common bronze black Iron silver gold and the rarest Divine but ranks aren't fixed when a beast grows strong enough and the fusion rate with its partner is high it will evolve naturally forming a partner contract requires blood from both the Tamer and the Beast but beware this bond is for life even if your Beast dies you can never form a new contract a Phantom Beast growth depends on four things things it's Tamer nutrition training and spirit if even one of
those is lacking the Beast won't be able to evolve higher tier beasts come with powerful base stats and unlock amazing innate abilities when a Tamer and Beast fuse their strength becomes one the stronger the Tamer the stronger the Beast training all of you would take a lot of time but I have a shortcut come forth my partner blackbox monster show them what your passion looks like as he finished a strange Black Box dropped from the sky and slammed into the ground moafi grinned who will emerge first from inside the box I can't wait to find
out Lea slowly regained Consciousness unsure of where he was as he looked around he noticed a faint light ahead he moved toward it and discovered a mysterious door but what shocked him most was that he himself and silverwolf were walking out from the other side side but the version of Silver Wolf Lea saw looked painfully thin almost skeletal at the moment it spotted a bowl of food appear in front of it its eyes sparkled and it darted toward the meal with excitement watching this Lea suddenly realized silver wolf had been fighting by his side all
this time on an empty stomach in that instant a surge of power coursed through him his body felt light energized from from within silver wolf looked up again and saw an enormous chunk of meat its eyes gleamed even brighter as the wolf lunged and bit into it Leaf suddenly felt the entire world around him begin to shake meanwhile back in the underground Arena moafi sipped tea leisurely while the blackbox monster whed what kind of Beast did you put in there moafi raised an eyebrow you can't even handle a few rookies before the Box monster could
reply it clutched its mouth with a groan like it was about to throw up the next moment with a loud urgh the blackbox monster puked out Le Fay his teammates and all their Phantom beasts in one messy heap BTO immediately grabbed Mimi and sobbed Mimi I'm never leaving you again moafi raised an eyebrow well I guess that reactions within expectations but don't you think you're crying a little too hard meanwhile Lya calmly dusted herself off so that's the infamous blackbox monster not impressed moafi did a double take wait a sec Phantom energy Advanced but the
box is supposed to affect the beasts how did the Tamer level up instead then his jaw dropped hold on is that a black Iron Phantom Beast it evolved are you kidding me you mean to tell me my blackbox monster can directly push a beast to the next TI he sighed hand on his forehead why is nobody in this batch acting normal normal moafi tapped the day monster hey wake up what happened in there why are they all like this the blackbox monster clung to moafi and shook him violently you don't know what I went through
in there it was Madness absolute Madness the blackbox monster wailed those two Maniacs started doing workouts in my illusion space and then they cried so much crying my stomach is full of their tears and that woman the moment she entered she started sucking up all my advancement energy like a sponge she drained half of my reserves but the scariest one was that little white wolf it at every single piece of food I had stored then it tried to bite my heart demons they're all demons moafi tried to hold back laughter yeah that sounds rough dot
he paded the monster sympathetically all right all right I get it you're traumatized want a little payback looks like everyone's made Solid progress time for the next phase live combat training for now on black box go all out just don't kill them the creatures eyes sparkled don't worry I'll make sure they thoroughly enjoy this next round with a snap of moafi fingers the training began the blackbox monster bellowed you're all going to feel my pain now instantly Lea and the others fused with their beasts bracing themselves as they charged into battle against the raging box
monster the Black Box monster suddenly inflated like a balloon swelling into a giant orb and floating into the air without warning It Came Crashing Down Like a meteor aiming straight for leaf Faz team Barto yelped you've got to be kidding the three of us together and we still can't take one hit the monster snorted of course not you're way too low level Lea blinked wait level what's that supposed to mean the monster side Beyond quality Phantom beasts also rely on energy level you have to build up phantom power and learn to use it well only
then will it reinforce your body allowing you to absorb more power we rank beasts by their total phantom power low mid High King Saint and divine me I maybe a black Iron Beast by quality but my power is King level you've got no chance so give up you're not beating me Le shouted mid Dodge it's too fast just focus on avoiding it but I can feel it the more we move the more I'm sinking with silverwolf we're learning to handle our powers better moafi watching from the sidelines nodded with a grin first real fight and
they're already sensing growth these three they're progressing fast at this rate they might be ready for the trial pass sooner than I thought Nia strolled over and teased you're getting pretty confident in your students huh moafi smirked The Guild president just posted a reward board for rookie development of course I want a shot at the top Nia smirked confidently Frank's got the same idea as you but this year the rookie development prize it's mine moafi raised an eyebrow oh you found some strong recruits too Nia Shrugged normally a Phantom Beast team works best with three
I've only got two so far A little disappointing sure but it's fine because he's about to show up moafi eyes widened him Mia are you insane he still can't control his powers if he loses it he could destroy the entire underground Arena Nia just smiled wider relax I've taken precautions to get out of this place you have to pass the trial path and the hardest part of that path isn't the traps it's him waiting at the end deep in the shadow Shadows a man was bound by four massive iron chains his arms and legs Shackled
tightly it he seemed completely unfaced calm composed and casually eating a meal
