The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

The crowd cheered for their favorite team in the stadium; the first match was Mineva vs. Keepers, and the commentator introduced the Mineva guild first.

"Please greet the most well-known first-year Guild Mineva," announced Commentator.

"It is led by Kajal Agastya, who will serve as a mage (support)."

"Daksh will play the swordsman, while Monu and Sonu will be their two tanks."

"Last but not least, Sakshi Agastya will be their main mage," he added. A video of the Mineva guild's fighting scene was shown on the big screen, along with holograms of all Mineva players.

A loud explosion reverberated throughout the arena, followed by smoke and fire shooting out from the entrance, from which Mineva members entered one by one.

The stats of Mineva players were displayed on large screens. "The MVP of Mineva is Sakshi Agastya, with fifteen kills," the commentator said. "She is second in the kills Rankings."

"Daksh is their swordsman; he has ten kills in this tournament and is ranked sixth on the kills leaderboard. He is one of the most skilled melee fighters."

"While Kajal Agastya may not have the most kills, she is number one in assists; in the kills ranking, she is tenth with eight kills."

The Kills Leaderboard and Assists Leaderboard were also displayed on the screen, with Mineva guild members names highlighted for easy identification.

The audience took a look at the leaderboard and began debating about it. The audience had just finished looking at the leaderboards when the commentator said, "Please greet their opponents, keepers. It is led by Raju, their captain."

"Keepers was ranked twelfth in round two; they have a tank, knight, spearman, archer, and mage. Will Keepers be able to make a significant leap today by defeating Mineva?" he asked.

Members of both teams took their positions outside the battleground. For the coin toss, first, the captains of both guilds were asked to come to the stage.

"Why is the battle not starting?" asked one of the audience members; those around him looked down on him.

"Is this the first time you've seen the guild competition? There will be some interaction first, followed by toss and spinning picker wheel to determine the battlefield. The captain who won the coin toss will spin the wheel while the other captain will stop it," said someone near him.

They were talking when the commentator said, "Let's ask the captains of Mineva and Keepers some questions."

The commentator first approached Kajal, dressed beautifully in her guild's jersey, and asked, "Kajal, how confident are you for today's battle?"

"We did everything we could to prepare; we will give it our all and hopefully Win, "Kajal replied with a smile.

"Your guild, Mineva, is the fan favorite; what will you say about it?" the commentator inquired.

"It's all because of the people's support. I want to thank all our fans for their support, "Kajal stated. Mineva fans rejoiced and started cheering for them.

"How do you feel about today's battle, Raju? How sure are you of Wining?" asked the commentator.

"We know today's battle will be difficult; I don't know if we will win or lose, but I can promise we will give it our all," Raju responded.

The commentator asked Raju a few more questions before calling both captains for the toss, which Raju let Kajal choose. The referee tossed the coin, and Kajal chose heads; the coin fell to the ground and stopped.

"Its Heads, The picker wheel will be spun by Mineva's captain," the referee announced.

Before Kajal, a hologram of a picker wheel appeared. There were four options: water, forest, volcano, and Grassland. Kajal pressed the spin button in the picker wheel's center, causing the Picker wheel to spin slowly for a second before speeding up and spinning quickly.

The picker wheel was displayed on large screens to the entire audience. Raju took a deep breath and pressed the Stop button.

The picker wheel began to slow down before coming to a halt; the choice at which the dial came to a halt was Grassland. Everyone in the audience cheered; Grassland was the best battleground because there was nowhere to hide.

Everyone was asked to leave the ground, and then the metal ground split in two, revealing a sizeable cuboidal structure.

It had two large poles attached to both ends, allowing it to spin. On its four sides, four different types of grounds could be seen. The large cuboid then turned, and the earth on top turned into Grassland.

The prominent cuboidal structure then went back into the ground, revealing only the top part of it; the four sides around it were covered with the metal ground again. All of this was made possible by fusing technology and magic.

Both guilds entered the arena individually and took their places in the two halves, waiting for the referee to begin the battle. The ground was half the size of a football field and was protected by a transparent shield that prevented any player from leaving the battlefield during the battle.

The referee blew a magical whistle to signal the start of the fight. Members of both guilds summoned their contract beasts, formed a formation, and began fighting. There were some contract beast rules, such as summoning only one at a time and switching contract beasts only once during a battle.

The battle raged on, with both guilds sticking to their respective strategies. Keepers attempted to prevent Mages of Mineva from casting large spells and attacking their opponent with a burst attack, while Mages of Mineva attempted to cast large spells.

The Keepers Guild mage concentrated on damaging Mineva's swordsman, preventing it from dealing any damage.

The fight continued, but Mineva was better prepared this time. Kajal cast a barrier spell on herself, and Sakshi did the same to protect Kajal. The Keepers Guild's archer and mage's attacks did not damage two barriers in time, allowing Kajal to cast her signature spell, 'Thunder Strike.'

A loud thunderclap was heard, followed by lightning striking the Keepers Guild members who were close to each other; all were affected due to the spell chaining from one target to the next.

Every member of the Keepers was injured and stunned. The spell was not over, but three more spells were cast by Kajal's Contract Beast, Sakshi, and her Contract Beast, on the Keepers guild members, leaving them with no way to escape.

Swordsman of Mineva's also used that opportunity to use his burst attack to eliminate the keepers Guild'd archer and mage; the fight ended after a brief struggle from the keepers.

"What an incredible fight, it appears Mineva has done their homework," said the commentator. The audience applauded Mineva, and many battles took place one by one after it, but no one was as entertaining as Mineva's battle.

The upcoming battle was All-Stars against Faded. On a large screen, the names and logos of both guilds were displayed; the audience was discussing.

"What is this All-Stars guild, and who is Rishab?" one audience member asked his friend. "Is it a joke this guy has 25 kills? I've watched every previous guild competition, and the best record I've seen is 18 kills."

"I believe you missed the live stream. All-STARS is a powerful first-year guild led by Rishab, a very skilled fighter," said another person.

"What is his job class? Is he an assassin?" inquired the first man.

"No, his class is Ranger. This class allows him to equip both a bow and a sword. People call him the 'Grim Reaper' because he slaughtered an entire sleeping team, and that psychopath even smiled after killing them," said another.

"So he got this many kills by killing people while they were sleeping. For such heinous behavior, he should be suspended, "said the first person.

"Well, you must be aware of the entire event before cursing him, and no rule says you cannot kill a sleeping person. Many guilds have gotten away with it, and even if you subtract five kills from his total, he will still remain number one."

"Sakshi got this many kills because her teammates prepared set up for her to kill opponents, but Rishab got all his kills on his own, so don't judge him just because you don't like his one act," he added.

"You know a lot about him; how about his other guild members—are they good as well?" asked the first person; their conversation had drawn the attention of those around them, who were also listening intently.

The second person cleared his throat and replied when he saw many people listening to him, "All members of All-STARS are excellent, especially Dilip; that guy is even stronger than Rishab. He defeated three players simultaneously; when he gets serious, he could be the tournament's strongest player."

"While Jay hasn't gotten many kills because of his low level, look at his total assist; trust me, he'll be another unstoppable player of All-Stars," he added.

"Their captain, Dev, is also a powerful swordsman, but his best qualities are his leadership and tactics; he could be the best captain." This surprised the other people, and they began to suspect that the All-STARS guild had hired this guy to promote them.

The second person noticed the expressions of disbelief on the faces of those around him. he said, "You'll see whether I'm telling the truth soon enough,"
