My Elf System

Just when the Phoenix's talons were about to grab hold of him, Orion realized he had returned back to the classroom.

He glanced around the class and saw that everyone else had also returned. Some were drenched with water while others were drenched with the slime of whatever dangerous magical plant they encountered.

'The professor must have teleported us back,' He thought to himself.

'I'm certain of it, and it looks like she brought us back at the same time.'

'Although I teleported away from the phoenix when I noticed how close it was to me, the moment I did this, I suddenly noticed that I was back in class.'

'I guess this means that the professor brought me back right after I teleported away from the phoenix,' Orion thought to himself, as he reassessed everything that had happened so far.

'It seems I'm not the only one who encountered a dangerous magical beast,' Orion noticed the traumatized look on the face of one of his classmates who was sitting right next to him.

It turned out that the student almost got eaten by a huge griffin even though he didn't spend up to a minute within the magical forest. Although, he wasn't the only one who experienced a dangerous situation.

Just like him, everyone else had encountered a dangerous magical beast, but they weren't able to remain calm like Orion.

Daisy also noticed the look of fear on their faces, and she asked, knowing how they would react to her question.

"Would anyone like to see the magical forest a second time?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Hell no."

"I almost died in there," One of the students lamented while his hands were still shaking.

"I think I saw my short life flash before my eyes, I am way too young to die."

"You and me both."

"Those beasts were scary. I thought the professor said they were tamed?" A student asked.

"I didn't say they were," Daisy replied.

"What?" A merman exclaimed.

"Yeah, she said the beasts were not tamed."

"Fuck, so I almost lost my little brother to a dolphin because I thought it was tamed?" The merman muttered to himself while looking at the floor.

After he channeled his aura into the beast scroll, the merman noticed that he had been teleported to the bottom of a sea and he could still recall the sight of the dolphin's sharp teeth as it was aiming for his little brother a few minutes ago.

Currently, his body and clothes were still soaked with water, but the merman wasn't bothered by this, he was just relieved to see that he wasn't killed by the killer dolphin.

Meanwhile, as every other student continued to lament about what they had encountered, Orion remained calm.

Unlike everyone else, he was curious to know what ranks the beasts were, especially the phoenix that had tried to attack him.

'The Phoenix's speed had been similar to that of a transcendent mage, yet I could barely keep up with its speed,'

'So this means that it is stronger than a rank ten mage but I wonder just how strong it is,' Orion pondered in his thoughts.

He wasn't worried about the fact that he had almost gotten killed by the phoenix; rather, he was more interested in knowing just how strong the beast was.

The cacophony of noises continued for a while, and a few minutes later, after everyone had calmed down, a hand was raised.

It was the succubus princess.

Just like Orion, she remained calm even after seeing a beast almost attack her.

Of course, she and Orion had been a bit surprised to see the beasts trying to attack them, but they had been prepared to evade and launch an attack.

Daisy noticed that the princess was raising her hand and she urged her to speak. "What ranks were the beasts?" The succubus princess asked.

"Every single one of them was within the ranks of a transcendent being."

"What?" Adrian exclaimed. "So, you mean all the magical beasts in that forest are as strong as a mage or knight between rank ten to eighteen?"

"Yes."

"And you expected us to tame a transcendent magical beast?"

"No, I knew none of you could tame the beasts."

"Then why did you send us to that forest?" A student asked and Daisy held a sheet of paper in her hand, showing everyone the list of names on the paper.

"Everyone present in the class right now registered for the beast taming club, and as individuals of Stella Hall, I expect every one of you to be able to tame at least one transcendent beast before the activity club tournament begins."

"Wait a minute, does this mean we'll be asked to tame these beasts for the tournament?"

"Yes, you'll be asked to tame the beast you encountered, and it doesn't matter if the beast is as strong as a rank ten mage or a rank eighteen knight. I'll be teaching you skills and techniques that you can use to tame these beasts."

"Is it really possible for us to tame a transcendent beast? If the beasts were within the mortal mage rank, it would have been possible for us to do so, but I doubt it will be easy for us to tame these beasts," A student pointed out.

"I understand some of you might think that it is impossible to tame a transcendent beast, but it is not. Let's take a look at this," Daisy cast a summoning spell and a magic circle appeared on the floor in front of her.

A huge griffin emerged from the magic circle and a few students immediately stood up from their seats.

They knew how difficult it was to tame a transcendent magical beast, and the griffin happened to be a transcendent rank.

However, to their surprise, the beast wasn't trying to tear them to shreds; instead, it took a seat on the floor like a cute little puppy.

"Beast taming requires empathy and understanding," Daisy explained. "If you wish to tame a beast, you'll need to learn how to approach, calm, and eventually tame them."

"But how are we going to do that?" Aslan asked.

"To do that, you'll need to demonstrate respect, courage, and a willingness to earn the trust of the beast. But you have nothing to worry about because all these things are what I'll teach you," Daisy assured them while patting the head of the griffin.

The griffin leaned closer to her, wanting her to pet it some more and everyone became amazed by what they were seeing.

"No matter how strong or terrifying the beasts might seem, I'll do my best to make sure everyone in this class becomes recognized as a world-class beast master," Daisy assured them once again, and everyone had a smile on their faces as they exchanged glances with each other.

As students residing in Stella Hall, Daisy wanted to make sure that Every one of them made an impression on the day of the tournament and that the students understood her intention as well.

They were the top ten students in the academy, so it made sense for them to be able to tame beasts in the transcendent mage rank.

Other halls would try to teach their students to tame beasts of the same rank as well, so everyone was hyped up to impress their families who would be watching them on the day of the tournament.

With that out of the way, Daisy gave them some other instructions on what they needed to know. She also allowed everyone to touch and pat the griffin she summoned, causing them to feel more eager to tame a wild, dangerous beast of their own.

This included Orion, who was also interested in taming the beast that had tried to hurt him.

A few hours later, right after class was over, Orion made his way out of the academy and headed straight to the capital city underneath the floating academy.

He immediately went to the guild he had registered at yesterday. After he arrived, he received a quest about a recent, dangerous C-Rank Dungeon, which happened to have spawned recently on the outskirts of the city.

With the aid of a map, he swiftly found the dungeon which was surrounded by twisted dead trees.

Everywhere seemed quiet, like he was about to enter a haunted house. He could also see a faded, blood-red inscription above the dungeon entrance, which said:- C-Rank Dungeon.

This could be seen as a warning sign to any adventurer who might try to sneak into the dungeon without finding out what rank the dungeon was.

Orion entered the dungeon, and then suddenly stepped on a magic circle which began to glow instantly.

However, Orion wasn't surprised by this because a magic circle always appeared in spots like these inside a dungeon.

The moment he stepped on the circle, Orion found himself in a treacherous dark swamp.

The air was thick with fog, and the ground squelched beneath his feet.

He tried adjusting his eyes to the dim, misty atmosphere but the air also reeked of decay and death.

Several creatures and adventurers had ventured into this spot before him, but none of them had ever been able to successfully make it out of the dungeon alive.

Orion drew his sword out of his inventory and ventured deeper into the swamp. The swamp's terrain slowed his pace but he navigated through the twisted waterways, not minding the murky waters that hid pitfalls and roots that were lying in wait to snag any unwary adventurer.
