The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth



It has been two days since Rishi finished creating two magic arrays. He tested them both and was satisfied with their performance.

He had decided to use the Arcane Hybrid Array for the Shadow Weapons, while he inscribed the Ferrostrike Enhancement Array on the Real Weapons.

He only ordered three weapons: two swords that he dual-wielded, and the third was a spear.

They all looked similar—gray in color with purple patterns. While they didn't look as captivating as other weapons, when it came to performance, they were able to match up against five Epic-grade weapons.

After preaching everything, he went to the training field again. They had little time for the inter-house team competition was just around the corner.

Gopal stood at the front and said, "We all have done what we could; now what's left is to give our best in the competition."

Others nodded, agreeing with him.

"As for our strategy, it will be simple. I will be at the front and block the opponents from reaching the backlines."

"Amit (Swordsman), you will charge the opponents and attack them, not holding back. Constantly pressuring them to focus on you."

"Ishan (Archer), you are an excellent sniper and decent at close combat. It will be your job to protect our mage all the time while also attacking opponents." 

Ishan nodded, clenching his bow tightly.

"Riya, you are our mage. You have to play the role of a nuker and go full offensive. Also, be close to the allies, or the opponents will ambush you."

"Rishi, You will play the assassin role. We have two fights. In the first one, you will engage when the opponents are close to each other and catch them all with your Zone+Shadow Chains combo."

"Don't show your full abilities in the first battle. In it, you should also not use your perception that much. It should appear as a fluke; if you can do that in the final, we will be able to win easily by going all out."

Rishi nodded. He understood what Gopal was planning. "Will this competition also have a similar format?"

  "Yes, there are four houses. Two will be against each other, and the winning houses will fight in the final round for the winning spot. while the losing houses will fight for the third spot."

"Who are our main competitors?" asked Riya.

"Don't worry about that; we will soon receive some information about them," replied Gopal.

"Let's practice our positioning again, Rishi. You should also not try to envade the opposing sides in the first match. You should be present to help backlines in an emergency situation."

The remaining days passed, and they finally received information about other teams. Gopal looked at it.

"The Naga House team looks strongest; they have all members of the third year. How did he achieve that?" asked Gopal.

"Their sly House Captain is up to no good," said Amit.

"Others also have the same problem as us; they are missing one or two members." 

"I think we should make some changes in our strategy," said Gopal.

"What changes? Everything is already finalized," asked Ishan.

Gopal thought for a while before saying, "If we end up having our first match with Naga House, then we will go all out and eliminate them. Other teams are not hard to defeat."

He then gave a list to all of them. It had names and information about the other teams.

Everyone looked at them and noticed that Matsya House had the same problem; their team had two new members.

Their assassin and tank were missing, which made them the weakest team.

Garuda (Eagle) House was also not that good, and their mage was also missing. This had quite an impact, as their mage was the best mage in the third year.

Naga House was somehow able to have all their team having third-year members, which gave them a big advantage against others.

Their team had suffered the previous year and came in third, but they solved this problem and became favorites this year.

Leo House also suffered; the previous year, they easily won because of their strong team. Even with two second-year members, they easily defeated each other.

It was because of Gopal and Amit that they could easily fight against third-year opponents. This year was somewhat different.

Riya was also a talented mage, but she was not able to perform at a level that others would be worried about.

The selection of Rishi might also make others mock them, but Gopal was not that worried. He wanted to defend their title before leaving. His team had to participate in a very important upcoming tournament.

He and Amit were together in both of them. They were lucky to get the time to participate in the inter-house competition.

With these two back-to-back wins, Leo House will get the momentum it needs to lift the trophy of Best House this year hopefully.

Rishi looked at the Naga House team.

Mage: A strong mage who uses fire and plant elements. He is a control-type mage who first uses plant elements to control the battlefield.

After taking control, he uses the fire element to deal massive damage. He is very cunning and plays many games.

Fighter: He is a swordsman who uses lightning and water elements and is the master of AoE attacks, crowd control, and lethal attacks.

He is the most skilled person on their team in terms of hand-to-hand combat.

Tank: She uses Dark Element to increase her defense and survivability, which uses Eart Element to increase her defense. Very skilled in blocking and trapping the opponents.

Archer: She uses wind and poison elements to create chaos in the enemy backlines. Her storms do damage from time to time.

If not eliminated early, she will surround the opposing team with a poison area, restricting their movement, before hitting with her lethal arrows.

Assasin: He uses the shadow and water elements, but he has such high mastery of them that he is able to use the ink (variant) element.

He is an escape artist, combined with his lethal attacks and concealment. He is a menace in team fights.

With a clear goal in mind, they all sat together and planned how to deal with Naga House; after all, they were their real opponents. The rest of the two houses were weak.
