The Primordial Tamer

That day was the 10th of march when the school competition had begun. Orion and Ember were among the chosen students to participate in the school competition. This was only a school competition, so only the close family of the participants came to watch, but the participants could feel the pressure.

As the competition began, the audience cheered as the participants stepped into the arena. The battle format was a tournament-style battle, and students would compete against each other until only one remained. Each student had to use their contracted beast to battle against their opponents.

Orion and Ember had both drawn their beasts, but to their surprise, they had not been matched against each other in the first round. Instead, Orion was up against a boy named Alex, while Ember was up against a girl named Lily.

Alex was a beginner beast tamer who had contracted a common beast, a ferocious-looking wolf. The wolf was much larger than Nova, but Orion wasn't intimidated. He knew that Nova was faster and more agile than the wolf, and he also had some tricks up his sleeve.

The battle began, and Alex ordered his wolf to attack. The wolf charged towards Nova, but Orion was ready. He ordered Nova to sprint to the side, and the wolf missed its target. Orion then ordered Nova to charge towards the wolf, and the two beasts collided with a loud thud. The wolf stumbled back, and Orion took advantage of the situation. He ordered Nova to use his claws and bite the wolf's hind legs. The wolf howled in pain and tried to shake Nova off, but Orion held on tight.

Alex was sweating profusely as he watched the battle unfold. He knew that his wolf was no match for Nova, but he refused to give up. He ordered the wolf to use its claws and bite back, but it was too slow.

Orion was quick to react and ordered Nova to dodge the attacks. After a few more attacks, the wolf was tired and weak. Orion saw his opportunity and ordered Nova to use his sprint and charge toward the wolf. Nova ran towards the wolf, jumped on its back, and delivered a final blow with his claws. The wolf collapsed, and the battle was over.

The audience cheered as Orion and Nova emerged victorious from the first round. Orion was ecstatic, and he knew that he had a chance to win the competition. Ember had also won her first round against Lily and her bird-like beast, using Blaze's fireball to defeat the opponent.

The second round began, and Orion was matched against a boy named Max. Max was a skilled beast tamer who had contracted a jaguar. The jaguar was much faster than Nova, and its claws were razor-sharp. Orion knew that he had to be careful and come up with a strategy to win.

The battle began, and Max ordered his jaguar to attack. The jaguar sprinted towards Nova, and Orion ordered Nova to dodge the attack. The jaguar then used its claws to attack Nova, but Orion ordered Nova to use his claws to block the attack. The two beasts clashed, and it was clear that the jaguar was much stronger than Nova.

Orion knew that he had to come up with a new strategy quickly. He ordered Nova to use his sprint to get behind the jaguar, and the plan worked. The jaguar was caught off guard, and Orion ordered Nova to use his claws and bite the jaguar's neck. The jaguar struggled, but it was no match for Nova's speed and agility. Orion had won the battle.

Ember had also won his second round, using Blaze's flame breath to defeat his opponent's beast, a bear-like creature.

The audience was now beginning to take notice of Orion and Ember's skills as beast tamers. They were both on a winning streak and getting closer to facing each other in the final round.

As the third round began, the tension in the arena was palpable. Orion was matched against a girl named Sarah, who had contracted a giant scorpion. The scorpion's stinger was deadly, and Orion knew that he had to be careful.

The battle began, and Sarah ordered her scorpion to attack. The scorpion charged towards Nova, but Orion was ready. He ordered Nova to sprint to the side and use his claws to attack the scorpion's legs. The scorpion stumbled, but it recovered quickly and used its stinger to attack Nova. Orion ordered Nova to dodge the attack, and the battle continued.

Orion knew that he had to come up with a plan quickly. He noticed that the scorpion was slower than Nova, so he ordered Nova to use his sprint to get behind the scorpion. The scorpion was caught off guard, and Orion ordered Nova to use his claws and bite the scorpion's stinger. The scorpion howled in pain and tried to shake Nova off, but Orion held on tight. He then ordered Nova to use his claws to attack the scorpion's head, and the scorpion collapsed.

The audience cheered as Orion emerged victorious from the third round. Ember had also won his third round, using Blaze's tail whip to defeat his opponent's beast, a snake-like creature.

The final round was now set. Orion and Ember were the last two participants standing, and they were going to battle against each other. The audience was on the edge of their seats, waiting for the battle to begin.

Orion and Ember stepped into the arena, and they both released their beasts. Nova and Blaze stood ready, waiting for their commands. The tension in the air was thick, and the audience was silent.

The battle began, and Orion ordered Nova to sprint toward Blaze. Ember ordered Blaze to use his flame breath, but Nova was too fast. He dodged the attack and used his claws to attack Blaze's legs. Blaze stumbled, but she recovered quickly and used his tail whip to attack Nova. Nova was caught off guard, and he stumbled.

Orion quickly ordered Nova to use his sprint and charge toward Blaze. Blaze used his claws to attack Nova, but Nova was too fast. He jumped over Blaze and used his claws to attack Blaze's back. Blaze howled in pain, but she didn't give up. She used his fireball to attack Nova, but Nova dodged the attack.

The battle continued, and it was clear that Orion and Ember were evenly matched. Nova and Blaze were both strong and skilled, and it was anyone's game. Orion knew that he had to come up with a new strategy quickly. He noticed that Blaze was vulnerable to attacks from the side, so he ordered Nova to use his sprint and get behind Blaze. Blaze was caught off guard, and Orion ordered Nova to use his claws and bite Blaze's neck. Blaze struggled, but she was no match for Nova's speed and agility. Orion had won the battle.

The audience erupted in cheers as Orion emerged victorious from the competition. Orion was thrilled, but he knew that he couldn't have done it without Nova. Nova was his loyal companion and friend, and he was grateful for all that Nova had done for him.

Ember congratulated Orion on his victory, and they both shook hands. They were both proud of each other, and they knew that they would always be friends.

After the competition ended, Orion and Ember were back in their rooms. They were happy that they could release all of their power in the arena.

A year had passed since their competition. Orion and Ember had turned fifteen this year, and they continued their training with their beast. Nova and Blaze had also become stronger than before. In this one year, Orion was trying to understand his talent and one day, an unexpected thing happened.

He didn't know why but one day, Nova suddenly evolved into a Dire Wolf. Nova's body became larger than a normal wolf's. Ember was also surprised by Nova suddenly evolving. Usually, for a beast to evolve, it needed special resources or need many years to evolve, but it seemed that his talent was the one that made this happen.

Orion's talent was Primordial Mastery. Its effect was to strengthen the beast, but he didn't know that this talent could become this powerful. Dire Wolf was stronger than Grey Wolf. Its difference in power was big, and because of Orion's talent, Nova could evolve successfully.

Nova was curious about Nova's new power after evolving into Dire Wolf. Nova's panel had also changed. Its species had also changed into Dire Wolf.

Orion could not wait to test Nova's new power. After a year of training in the school, students were allowed to venture into the wild to train their beasts. Orion was also preparing to go to the forest to train their beasts.

Ember was not with him at the moment because he was going back to his family. Ember had a family, and it seems that he was sent to this school here to train. Last month was the time for Ember to go back. It was a bit sad that he was leaving, but we promised that we would meet again in the future when we had become stronger.
