'crack'
The sound of small cracks appeared in the room. Inside the cylindrical glass chamber, six eggs could be seen placed one over the other in different sections. After some time, small pink-colored ears came out of them; they still had their eyes closed and were shaking.
Soon they started making small chirping sounds. A boy and girl could be seen standing in front. They were both carefully noticing the condition of the newborns; the boy had a relieved expression. While the girl was looking at them with her eyebrows raised and her heartbeat racing, she could not believe that all eggs could hatch successfully.
Her perception of the silver-haired boy changed; she had never met someone like him. Now she understood why she was an assistant under him; this guy was someone with a higher rank than her. Rishi said, "Prepare a warm Watter bathtub with multiple elixirs mixed within it."
Jiya snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Okay," She then left and started preparing. She decided not to argue with him about anything and just follow his commands; who knows if she could learn something from him?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRishi looked at her, following his order, and sighed. He was also relieved that his patience was running out. He then looked at the graphs in front of him and started checking the condition of the newborns; hopefully, they were all healthy. He inspected them and gathered more information about them.
When he noticed that every baby had come out of the eggs, He opened the Glass Chamber and carefully took them out. He then took out the beast's milk and served it in a big bowl. All the little Moa Chicks started drinking milk. He smiled when he saw them enjoying it, and after some time, Jiya came back and saw the scene.
She was surprised to see that the young chicks were very comfortable with the boy; he was carefully patting them and rubbing their backs. Rishi noticed her and asked, "Is it ready?" Jiys answered with a nod.
Rishi whistled and started moving towards the bath. The chicks followed behind him like little ducklings following Mother Duck. Rishi then removed his clothes and entered the bathtub. The chicks chirped and looked at it curiously before entering it one by one.
Rishi started cleaning them; this bath was helpful for newborns. He carefully cleaned them. A girl could be seen looking at this scene from the side. Rishi looked at her and said, "Arrange the baby oil to massage these newborns."
Jiya nodded and left; the things done by Rishi were something she had never seen other Beast cultivators do. His methods were quite different, but they worked very well, and she was learning many things by just watching him.
Rishi carefully wiped every chick with a towel before whistling again to ask them to follow them. He brought them outside in the sunlight, and Jiya brought the oil after some time.
Rishi applied some drops to his fingers and started massaging the tiny chicks; this would help in making the newborn's muscles stronger. It took him some time, but he finished soon. He then told Jiya what to feed them for the next few days and how to raise them before leaving.
It was already dark when he reached the Academy, and he practiced his skills for some time before sleeping. Tomorrow was an important day. He had to participate in the Companion exam, where he had to face other students.
Rishi appeared on the ground, where all first-year students were present. The professor looked at the students and explained. Students, the exam this time will be different. The theme for this year's exams is survival. You will all be dropped off in an unknown location for a week for this exam. You have to survive by using the strength of your companions. You are prohibited from using any ability other than the ones used on your contract Beasts."
The students started discussing among themselves, and Rishi also started thinking about his strategy. It became noisy very soon. The professor looked at this and shouted into the microphone, Silence." Everyone became silent again and started paying attention to the professor.
"In that location, there will be many powerful creatures. You have to defeat them to get points. As you might have guessed, the winner would be decided based on points, but the most interesting thing is that you can exchange these points to purchase some useful things from the store."
"In this store, there are evolutionary items: elemental resources, artifacts, elixir, skills, and a beast egg. This Bonus is given to you because the Academy is satisfied with the performance of your batch. Keep working hard; the Academy has high hopes for you." The students cheered when they heard that.
"Gather to the main ground in one hour. One more thing: you are not allowed to carry storage rings. You will all be given a small storage pouch with limited resources. I would also like to add that attacking others would not give you any extra points."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe ground became noisy again, and students started discussing their strategies. Rishi found Vinay near him. He approached him and said, "How was your written exam?"
Vinay replied, "It was alright."
"This exam would be interesting; I never thought they would do something like that," said Vinay.
Even though I didn't predict they would do something like that, I am also interested in the items available in store," said Rishi.
Vinay took out his smartphone and opened his mail. There, he clicked on the email sent by the Academy. He then clicked the link, and a website was opened. He saw that there were multiple items displayed there, and Rishi also started paying attention. He noticed that there were even skill crystals in the store.
Skill Crystals could be used to help a Contract Beast learn a particular skill. These crystals were rarely found in special Dungeons. Not much was known about them. The other resources available in the store were also useful.
After going through all of that, Rishi said, "They are generous this time, but I believe that it would be tough to acquire the most precious ones."
"You are right, but then it will also help me a lot; there are many useful resources present in it that I need," said Vinay.
They discussed some more things before they grouped up with other guild members and started moving to the location.
The others were also excited, but Rishi reminded them not to purchase evolutionary resources or Beast Eggs. They agreed to his suggestion. Rishi had helped them evolve their beasts, so he was right that it would be wasteful to exchange their points for evolutionary resources.
