In a prosperous city filled with humans, there was a big structure at the center of the city. It was standing tall in the area around it multiple small structures could be seen, which didn't have any tall buildings. A board could be seen on the front of the structure with 'Mazar Beast Tamer Academy.'
Many students could be seen moving around in their uniforms, going to their respective classes. In the trade zone of the academy, students could be seen exchanging goods and services for merit points. A small crowd could be seen gathered in front of a boy with his face covered; He had put the board beside him with 'Three Star Beast Cultivator, 30% discount'.
The crowd was discussing if this was real or not. The boy showed the permission letter he had with him to prove that he was not a scammer. Most students decided to wait; It was when a girl came running and asked for his help. The boy nodded and asked her to take out her contract Beast.
The girl took out her contract beast; a small cat-like creature appeared in front of everyone. It had soft red fur all over its body and bright ruby-like eyes. Despite being a very playful creature, the beast could be seen shivering, and its body was also emitting a faint fishy odor.
The boy held the beast and checked it before asking, "What had it eaten in his previous meal?"
The girl named Beast Meat, Beast Milk, and Packaged Beast Food, and the boy remained quiet before asking, "Where did it go before getting sick?"
The girl named the few places that she visits with her beast; The beast cultivator thought for some time before replying. "It's not something serious, but it could cause harm to your contract beast if ignored for a longer period of time. Your beast had eaten yin fish without your knowledge, which caused this reaction to its body. I will recommend some materials you have to mix them and feed it for two days to help it recover."
Everyone was surprised that the reason could be so simple; The boy looked at the girl and said, "You can ask for a refund if it doesn't work."
The girl was surprised by his confidence, but she paid him and left after saying "goodbye.", The others also decided to ask for help from the boy. Many students visited him; He solved everyone's problems one by one and left when there was no more work.
The boy disappeared from his place and appeared inside a dark room. He changed his clothes and said, "I earned almost 1,500 CP today; tomorrow I will earn even more. This will help me get my hands on the 'Icy Body' Technique faster."
"I can also earn extra CP to purchase other suitable techniques. Once I get famous, I will focus on evolving the magic beasts."
He continued this routine for some days before shifting the location. He booked a room in the academy using some of his CP; He then announced that he will only take Beast evolution requests from now on. He did so because the contribution points he can get from it are way more while the effort is less.
On the first day, he only got one request. He was not disappointed, as things like evolution needed trust. He successfully evolved the first contract beast; this made more students believe in his capabilities, and he got more requests.
He completed every request, and everyone who asked for his service was satisfied. He was famous as Mr. Shadow in the academy. After a week, he had already earned way more than he had initially expected. He decided to take requests on the weekends; It didn't take him that much time, as the request he received was to evolve normal or advanced-grade beasts; it was very easy for him.
Now that he had earned sufficient CP, he decided to visit the library again. He looked at the 'Icy Body' technique and purchased it before moving on to look for good offensive skill. He moved to the offensive ice skill section and started looking for a suitable skill.
The first skill he saw was Ice Bullet; It was like a magic bullet with an ice element property. He decided to search for other skills, He saw 'Icy Spear,' which was a powerful version of ice bullets. He had seen it in action, but he decided to ignore it as he needed melee skills, not long-range ones.
He found many, but they were not suitable for him. He then decided to look for a weapon technique with Ice Element. He first went to the section with techniques that could be used with most of the weapons. He saw a skill called 'Blessing of Frost,' which was a technique that surrounded the weapon of the user. He could use it like an aura, but Rishi didn't choose it as he needed a pure attacking technique.
After looking for some more time, he was not able to find a suitable technique. He was about to look in another section when his eyes fell on the skill called 'Frost Nova Battle Art.' Rishi looked at this, and his eyes widened when he saw the word 'Art' on it; he was already aware of how powerful Art was; He could not miss it, no matter how much it cost.
[NAME: Frost Nova Battle Art
Price: 50000 CP
Information: This is a battle art containing three ice techniques. It is pure offensive art that focuses on maximum damage.
TECHNIQUES:
1.) Frost Strike: Each attack from a weapon releases chilling gusts of icy wind capable of freezing the air around it. These attacks do extra icy damage and give the 'Frostbite' debuff, which deals constant burn damage. The strength of the attacks is decided by the user's mastery.
2.) Frost Nova: By releasing a concentrated burst of ice energy into the surrounding area, the user can trigger localized explosions known as Frost Nova. The wave of freezing cold expands rapidly, encasing everything in its path in a layer of ice. Users hit with it will get the 'Frozen' debuff and will be unable to move; frozen targets will receive extra damage from the Frost Strike Technique.
3.) Glacial Execution: This advanced technique allows the user to channel an immense amount of ice energy into their weapon and absorb the ice energy released by earlier attacks, charging it for a devastating finishing strike. The more ice energy the attack absorbs, the more powerful the impact of the attack will be.]
Rishi looked at this battle art and was astonished. This art was powerful; it used the first two techniques to build up for the final attack. This was very suitable for him as it suited his needs, and he also liked that it could be used by most of the weapons.
The price was a little excessive as the Battle Art with similar power and a fixed weapon could be easily purchased for 35,000 CP, but now that he had seen it, he was going to buy it. He now had only 5,000 CP; it would take him some weeks, but he was going to purchase it.
