The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth



A boy could be seen bringing water from the stream nearby. He put down buckets and asked, "What's different in this water than the one I carry in my water packets?"

"Nothing," said the middle-aged man, laughing. "It's just that I am used to this water." He put the water in and added some vegetables and meat before putting it over the fire. Then he started walking, saying, "Follow me; it will take some time for food to be ready. In the meantime, show me your skills."

The boy followed him, and they both soon appeared near the edge. There were some training dummies on the other mountain, while there was a valley in front with a pond. The middle-aged man stood there with his hands behind his back. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the cold wind blowing his long hair before turning and looking at the boy.

The silver-haired boy nodded and snapped. Four chakrams appeared in the air. "My first ability is that I can create any weapon, and the more I practice a shape, the better I will get at creating it."

He then pointed at the four Chakrams, and they started dancing around him. "My second ability is to control any weapon and use it to perform attacks. It's like telekinesis but can only be used with weapons."

The man with long black hair tied in the back kept looking at the boy as if asking him what was next. The boy continued, "This ability is not related to Chakram, but I can use 'Sword Aura." He pointed at the chakrams; a semi-liquid black flame appeared on his hand. It turned into four small orbs and surrounded his chakras. A black layer of liquid flame appeared on top of all his chakrams, making them even more intimidating.

The middle-aged man asked, "What about the cooldown of your skill?"

The boy looked back strangely and said, "There is no cooldown; these are all passive skills. I can do that all day", A hint of surprise appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"You have quite good skills. With these, you also have other skills. One that lets you turn into a shadow; another lets you dash into shadows; and the last is to create chains. You have a wide range of skills; how many weapons can you use?"

"I can use more than twenty," replied Rishi. The middle-aged man was astonished again. He closed his eyes and thought briefly before asking, "What about your second element?"

"My second element is ice, but I don't have any skills in this element," replied the boy with a sad expression. He was so busy mastering his other skills that he had no time to learn Ice Element skills.

"So you want to learn Chakram weapons too; you have many good skills, but your skill set is a mess. What role suits you, according to you?" asked the middle-aged man with a complicated expression.

The boy was confused for a while. He kept quiet for some time before replying, "I think I can play multiple roles; Assasin/Fighter/Allrounder/Mage/Archer; I can play all."

"This is what I am asking you: Why do you have so many skills from different roles? What are you trying to do? If you continue like this, you will regret it later. As your level increases, you will need to become a specialist. The most you can do is play two roles, but if you continue like this, you will forever remain average." Sighed the middle-aged man.

"You will never be able to outclass a person who is specialized in his role; I have seen people who will easily outclass you in their roles. You have awakened 'Sword Aura,' which explains your talent, and all the skills you have are exceptional, but when they all add up, they don't synergize at all. You are gifted in Shadow Element aptitude; if you had followed the Assasin path, you would have been two times stronger than your present self, if not more."

Rishi clenched his hands. He wanted to refuse, but he knew that he had a point. Due to his thirst for more power, he had lost track long ago. He was decent in all roles but not arrogant enough to believe that others couldn't outperform him.

The man looked at Rishi. He first thought that he would disagree and argue like other kids, but from what he saw, he realized that this kid was more mature. He decided to lift the mood: "See, boy, it's not too late even now; all you need to know is to choose two roles and master them, becoming the best in those two. If you want to learn any other role, you can do that after you master these two, but from what he saw, he realized that this kid was more mature. He decided to lift the mood: "See, boy, it's not too late even now; all you need to know is to choose two roles and master them, becoming the best in those two. If you want to learn any other role, you can do that after you master these two. It's not your fault that you got lost the track."

The boy thought for a while before replying, "I want to master the assassin and fighter roles." The middle-aged man looked at him and nodded. "You are very suitable for the assassin role, but you will need to learn ice element skills for the fighter role, which will suit that role better. I also know many suitable Chakram skills that will make you a pro"

A glint of light shone in the purple iris of the boy. He smiled and looked at the person with a look of anticipation. The middle-aged man smiled, threw a wooden chakram at Rishi, and started teaching him. Rishi wanted to use his telekinesis-like ability to practice it, but his teacher stopped him.

"To learn how to use a weapon, you will need to feel it yourself; once you master it by using it in battle, you can use it with your telekinesis ability easily. This will also help you understand the structure of the weapon." He started teaching Rishi.

At first, the middle-aged man was not sure how long it would take for Rishi to learn the basics, but to his surprise, this kid could learn everything as if he were a prodigy born to use Chakram. In two hours, he had already learned how to spin Chakram and how to boomerang it.

The teacher increased his speed and started teaching him the bounce-back skill. He threw his Chakram into the pond, and the Chakram hit the shore and returned. This took Rishi some more time to learn, as he didn't have the wind element and was not allowed to use any of his abilities. They took a break, during which they ate their breakfast.

This continued for many days. Many clan members got the news that Rishi had come back, and some even wanted to meet him, but they were all disappointed to know that he had entered the reserved area. They waited for some days, but he didn't return. Everyone was surprised by it.

Rishi continued his training in seclusion with his new teacher. In the past few days, he has learned many things about how to fight. He had decided to master these two roles first. His first goal was to become the best in these two roles.
