The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - Chapter 121: Taming Method (1)

Chapter 121: Taming Method (1)

“So, what exactly are you thinking?”

After leaving the dormitory and reaching the forest, she turned around and glared at me.

She was clearly angry, standing with her hands on her hips and her eyes narrowed.

“If I had let her keep talking, Charlotte would have completely cut ties with them, right?”

I told her the reason I covered her mouth.

“That is… true, but…”

Charlotte lost her momentum when I pointed it out.

It seems like she wants to protect what is important to her and considers me a friend as well.

If she had said something final back there, she would have been completely isolated at the Tamer School. To avoid that, I decided that accepting the challenge was the best choice.

“Well, now that it’s come to this, we have to win.”

The island is too big to just wander around randomly while looking for a rare monster to bring back as proof of victory. That wouldn’t be a smart strategy.

“Don’t tell me you weren’t even sure you could win?”

Charlotte looked at me with a surprised expression.

“There are still many unknowns when it comes to familiars in history. I can’t say for sure that I’ll win.”

When I answered, Charlotte sighed and started speaking.

“In general, there are several ways for a tamer to tame a monster.”

“Oh?”

“First, feeding. This method involves preparing food that the monster likes and giving it to them to make them familiar with you.”

Charlotte raised a finger as if giving a lecture.

“Next, fighting and winning. Some monsters follow stronger beings, so you can establish dominance and then tame them.”

That method probably applied to Rock.

Thinking about how he had no chance against Feni’s attacks and ended up submitting made sense.

“Through these methods, a bond forms between the monster and the tamer.”

“A bond? Don’t you just turn them into a familiar right away?”

I tilted my head and asked. Charlotte shook her head and denied my words.

“Not everyone is a genius like Lord Klaus. When a bond is formed, the monster starts moving alongside the tamer. From there, it depends on the individual’s effort. The closer they become, the more clearly they can understand the monster’s intentions one day.”

I had experienced that before. A voice, similar to a goddess’s, had asked if I wanted to form a familiar contract.

“The monster conveys its willingness to become a familiar, and by giving it a name, the bond strengthens, officially making it a familiar.”

So, that voice I heard when Rock became my familiar was the same voice that tamers usually hear?

“Oh, now that I think about it, I met a girl before who could communicate with a monster.”

That thought suddenly came to me.

At that time, she hadn’t made a familiar contract yet, so she applied to the Tamer Guild under “temporary registration.”

“I’ve heard reports about that case. Being able to tame a wild monster without the knowledge from Tamer School is an incredible talent.”

Charlotte explained that the girl would take a long time to deepen her bond with the monster.

“I see, now I understand why tamers are so rare.”

“More people are enrolling in school because they admire tamers, but most of them give up before they achieve their goal. Only about twenty people a year manage to graduate with an official familiar contract and call themselves tamers.”

If only twenty out of the hundreds of students gathered from across the royal capital succeed, it’s quite a tough path.

The world isn’t so easy that everyone can become a tamer.

“But the four people who challenged you, Lord Klaus, are among the most outstanding students in the school. I assume they will return with a rare monster.”

I had thought that since taming monsters was so difficult, there was a chance they wouldn’t be able to tame one, and it would end in a draw, but apparently, it wasn’t that simple.

“By the way, I ran into a Black Dragon not too long ago.”

When I had traveled to a remote area on a subjugation request to stop a stampede happening across the country, I had seen a Black Dragon moving with clear intent.

“There’s another method for taming monsters besides the ones I mentioned, but it’s something that should be avoided.”

“What is it?”

She hesitated as if it was difficult to say, but after a moment, she finally put it into words.
