Taming Master

(3). Hidden Jobs -3

“Oh, Ian. Are you back?”

Cain returned to the guild for a job. He welcomed Ian.

“It wasn't easy to get a quest, was it? Haha..."

Cain didn't even think Ian had made it back from the quest.

Returning to the guild after failing to catch a wolf was part of the quest's progress.

However, Ian was not an ordinary category user.

“Yes, it wasn't easy. Wolves are so stubborn... ”

Ian meant it.

It took more than an hour to assault the wolf.

“But I did. ”

Ian took a grimoire from his inventory with a sealed wolf with blue eyes and gave it to Cain.

“What? Is it true you caught a wolf?! ”

“Yes, is there a problem...? ”

Cain hurriedly checks the seals.

It was a magical book sealed with a blue-eyed wolf.

Cain's eyes changed.

“Weren't you Bigginer? ”

“That's right.”

Ian understood the reason for Cain's strange reaction.

‘Obviously, it wouldn't have been an easy quest if it was a normal 10-level Biggener, not me. ’

But I thought it would be a surprise that he solved it so quickly, destroying the original quest's path (?) I did not think it was Ian.

“Th-that's great!! ”

A little awe was felt in Cain's eyes.

Whether Cain did it or not, Ian's only interest was his former job.

“So now I can become a monster trainer? ”

Of course, Cain shakes his head.

“No, you don't deserve a monster trainer. ”

“Yes?”

Ian's dissonance is bewildered, followed by Cain's words.

“Don't you want to walk the Master's path? ”

At the same time, a new system message appeared in Ian's view.

Tyring -

Accept?

---------------------------------------

After confirming it, Ian shook his head.

‘This...! I've never heard of a job quest that connects like this...? ’

Just by name, the ‘Taming Master’ felt much higher than the ‘Monster Trainer’.

I had no reason to hesitate.

“I want to be a master. ”

Cain was greatly pleased with Ian's answer.

“Oh, I see! I thought you'd take it. ”

At the same time as Cain's words, a group of white lights began to envelop Ian's entire body.

And a new system message clouded Ian's vision.

[I was assigned as a Summoner.]

[A new stat, ‘Affinity’ is generated.]

[A new stat, 'Training' is created.]

[A new stat, 'Leadership' will be generated.]

Soon the white glow disappeared, and he felt joyful.

It was the first step toward a new path.

“The path to becoming a 'Tamingmaster’ is very difficult. But I'm sure you'll do just fine. Please recreate the legend! ”

“Of course.”

Ian checks his status.

Ian warms up.

I wanted to catch monsters quickly.

But before that, we needed to get as much information from Cain as possible.

“You can catch monsters with this‘ capture ’skill, right? ”

Cain replies kindly.

“Yes. If you captured a blue-eyed wolf when you were unfriendly, I'm sure you have a natural talent for capturing monsters, but let me give you some tips." ”

“Thank you."

Cain continues.

“The fewer lives the monster has, the higher the chance of capture success. You know this part, right? ”

“That's right.”

“But there are more important things than decreasing a monster's health. ”

Ian listened without saying a word.

“Amity." ”

“You mean ‘intimacy’ with monsters to catch them? ”

Cain nods.

“I see.”

But Ian had a question.

“Shouldn't you be fighting in the first place to increase your intimacy with monsters? ”

Ian's question was obvious.

Attacking monsters seemed to have a detrimental effect on intimacy, even if it was common sense.

“That's a good question. ”

Cain, who took a few moments, speaks.

“The best way to capture monsters is different. However, the standard level of monster capture is to gain Amity through food and care after receiving the summoner's strength from the opponent in battle. It's even harder to increase Amity until a monster recognizes the Summoner. ”

It was a reasonable story.

“Oh, but there's one exception. ”

“Exceptions?”

“For immature young monsters, it's relatively easy to increase Amity without fighting. Of course, this is different for every monster. ”

Ian tried to remember Cain's story completely.

The profession of 'Summoner’ was truly uncharted.

This NPC, Cain, should be the one with the most information about the Summoner.

“Of course, the higher the ‘Amity’ with the monsters you want to capture, the higher the chance of capture success. ”

“It's very important to increase your intimacy. ”

“That's right."

Ian had more questions.

“So capturing monsters is unlimited? ”

“That's a sharp question. ”

Cain continues to explain.

“First of all, capturing monsters is unlimited. But there's only so many monsters you can carry. ”

With Ian still out of the picture, Cain opens his mouth again, smiling deeply.

“When a Summoner catches a monster, he gets a little tattoo on his forearm. The tattoo seals the monster. And summoners can always summon and release captured monsters. ”

Ian grumbled in his heart as he listened to the explanation.

‘The Summoner has a lot to learn from the beginning. ’

I don't know if it's because I got Hidden's job, but I had a lot of information to know that I couldn't compare to when I first joined the archery.

But he grumbled, and now Ian was very satisfied.

It was because the profession of 'summoner’, which has a lot of complexity and concern, perfectly captured Ian's taste in gameplay.

The word "complicated" coincided with the word "there is much to study."

“But if your leadership is lacking, you won't be able to capture any more monsters. That's the Seal Grimoire I gave you earlier. ”

Ian, who had learned about the game, immediately understood.

“So the higher your leadership, the more monsters you can seal up and use, right? ”

“That's right."

“And you've reached your limit of leadership, and you have to carry a Sealing Wizard in case you find a monster you like? ”

Cain claps his hands.

“Exactly. As expected, you must be a practicing summoner. ”

Ian also asked Cain a few more questions.

‘I still have a lot of questions, but now I have to face it myself. ’

Ian has left the Summoner's Guild.

The tail of his mouth dries up.

“Now let's go make my first stooge. ”
