****(POV)
This is the mont of truth.
C'mon, little Bai! You can do this!
I'm encouraging myself, but I don't feel confident at all.
I don't have to wait as many rooms are available.
Well, it does help that so many of the tars are busy betting.
From the little I saw, most of them are betting on my failure.
I can sohow understand that.
It still leaves a bad aftertaste, however.
Ah, there is one guy that does believe in .
Perhaps more than I do in myself.
A weird man that I am getting to know more.
One that may have very well changed my life altogether.
I used to be a failure of a tar.
I spent all I had for one last taming attempt, yet I failed it.
At first, part of was angry at him, but really, I was angrier at myself.
And disappointed.
Just as I was despairing, he showed hope.
Told he would bring sowhere to get a pet.
I was in disbelief at first.
Then that disbelief only increased when I figured out where we were heading.
He wanted to ta a sli.
How was I supposed to accomplish sothing even the bests have never managed?
All of it simply madness.
I was about to give up.
But then I figured I'd try.
My situation was arguably already the worst it could be.
Would wasting a bit of ti be an issue at this point?
No.
So I tried it.
Then it fucking worked.
All thanks to him!
He believed in and he was right!
Now, a sli might not be that powerful, but it's a start.
I need to sohow accomplish a miracle in this test.
He still believes that I can do this.
As long as he believes I will too!
I reach a dium-sized room.
It is not spacious, but it is still vast enough to move around without any issue.
This will be my first ti here.
I did use to have a tad beast.
Sadly I was foolish.
It died to save my life.
My first friend died because of my ineptitude.
That's when I swore to myself that I would never commit the sa mistake.
This sli of mine.
I won't just discard it after it has served its purpose.
Will that take a toll on my soul power?
Of course.
But I do not want another creature to die for my sake.
It is rather stupid I do know it.
Really dumb.
I thought I was the only one ever that would do sothing as ridiculous.
Turns out I might not be.
This is what I find most unbelievable about this man.
Not only is he wise, but he is odd too.
Who in their right state of mind would keep a donkey at their side?
Only him.
Who in their right state of mind would train a donkey?
Trained it until it could trash a rank 2 monster easily.
The existence of this man itself is enough to give hope.
If a donkey can beco powerful there is no way a sli can't.
I might be insane, but right at this mont I truly believe.
This test is but the first step of my career.
In the middle of the room is a floating purple cube.
It seems almost intangible yet is physical.
I'm not sure how this all works, but I do know that once I destroy it the test will start.
Then it will safely test my pet and only it.
The tars need to remain on the sidelines watching to avoid any injury.
I give the order to my sli to go ahead.
It flies toward it with great montum.
Then it envelops itself around it.
I am getting ready for anything.
What will co out of this?
Let . okay, nothing is happening at all.
Is there an issue with the chanism?
AhI see
This sli of mine is hugging it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I try to order it to dissolve it, but it seems it's not able to.
What am I supposed to do?!
I can't even start the test.
What can I ?
Ah, fuck it.
Let's just do this.
I co closer and I .
*PUNCH*
The semi-physical cube cracks and disappears in many colorful lights.
I can see light coming out from the edges of the room.
It all assembles into shapes.
This seems to be the projection of a monster.
Seems like a rank 2 hound of so sort.
Gaping mouth, sturdy-looking legs, sharp fangs, and claws.
It looks oddly realistic for a magical construct!
I need to sohow defeat it!
Go sli!
It jumps on it, hugging its face!
Andnothing at all happens.
Don't tell these things are immune to corrosion?!
How cheated!
How the hell am I supposed to clear a test like that?!
Guess we'll be disqualified soon.
That's when it happens.
The thing swipes at my sli.
I can feel it growing weaker through our link.
This shouldn't be possible?!
This training room shouldn't inflict any true damage on .
Ah, fuck!
It probably wasn't designed for slis.
At all.
What do I do?!
Stop this fucking test!
I don't care about it anymore!
Just fucking stop this!
The hound keeps pursuing it and swiping rcilessly at it.
The safety asures aren't activating at all!
At this rate, it will truly die!
Stop!
No fucking way!
I won't let this shit happen again!
Screw this thing!
Not again!
Not again!
Not again!
I won't watch powerlessly again!
I'd rather die!
I might actually, but so fucking what!
"This way you stupid dog! Why don't you fight soone your own size!"
I punch it as hard as I can.
It barely bulges.
It lunges at .
It's so fucking fast!
My sli never stood a chance.
I dodge it.
Barely.
Or not.
I can distantly feel so pain.
So what if it scratched .
Fuck this thing.
I can do this!
Stay behind little sli!
I'll protect you no matter what!
