At this time, a Beast Master named Taho was handling his team’s shop. He was answering potential customer queries with a smile, and he would
also guide them to their temporary stables if they wanted to buy one or a few beasts.
For example, now, where he had just led a client towards the stables which still had about 10 of the same beasts.
He handed them over to the beast master who held the whistles, and he was about to return to the exhibition areas again. However, he couldn’t help
but want to watch the exchange a bit longer with an envious heart.
Taho was a 32-year-old bachelor with greenish-brown hair that had a little rat tail at the back of his head. He was sociable, but inside he was dying a
little.
He had been a system-stamped Beast Tamer for over ten years now, however he remained assigned to duties like this.
Why? Because he couldn’t get close to beasts at all! Even when he landed Level 20, he still couldn’t do it properly. At first, he thought it was finally
time for him to do something. After all, the beast being tamed was weaker than he was.
However, even if the beast was several levels lower than he was, he still couldn’t tame it in the end!
It was so humiliating! He could still remember the laughter of his peers.
"He couldn’t get close enough for years, now that he could—he couldn’t hear them properly!"
"I’m embarrassed for him."
"I guess the system chose incorrectly this time."
Their Beastmaster skills required them to be close to beasts, to determine the ’sound’ each one made. The performance of sound varied a lot after a
certain distance, so this was unavoidable.
At the same time, this was why the whistles had to be blown within a certain radius from the monster—otherwise, it wouldn’t work at all. Therefore, it
was prohibited for drivers to be too far away from the beasts at any point in time, except perhaps if they were staying in a Beast Inn—something that
not all territories had.
That said, a species had a lot of similarities in their sounds, so Beast Masters tended to specialize in one to three types of beasts only.
Not that that mattered to him, a person who couldn’t tame a single one!!
He just wanted this event to end so he could avoid the weird derogatory looks he was getting from other Tamers. They would often come to sneer at
him though. "Ten years and no tamed monster yet," they would say. "An embarrassment to Tamers around."
It wasn’t that he wasn’t trying!
He kicked a random rock in anger, but it ended up being loose. It hit one of the beasts which turned to his direction with a growl.
He shivered and he quickly ran to take the whistles which were placed near it. However, he was clumsy and he dropped them instead.
He paled.
Orchshiiitttt!
ROAR!
It reared on its hind legs as it roared, the movement pulling the ropes keeping it in place. The post ricocheted in the area, damaging the posts for the
other beasts, and even hitting a few people in the process.
Anyway, this agitated several monsters in the area—including those by other teams—and it was just chaos.
It happened too quickly.
"Kyaa!" customers nearby gasped and ran, while some brave beast tamers ran over to calm them down.
Although ordering them required some instrument they carved themselves, most tamers had skills of temporarily diffusing the monster’s agitation, to
fool them into thinking there was no food or threat around them.
Taho also did not get this skill.
Roarr!
He ran to them and decided to just be physical! He was also level 21! The monsters here were only level 14 and 15!
However, monsters were much stronger than humans of the same level, let alone people like him who didn’t have much talent in fighting. So he was
just thrown around and stopped when he hit a random cage.
He could only watch helplessly as a few monsters made a mess. He could push himself up and try to avoid casualties among the humans by pushing
them away regardless of the risk to himself.
"AHHH!" he yelled when the teeth of a level 13 monster grazed his back. He was pushing away the customer he had brought in.
It was deep, and he was only alive because of his level.
"STOP IT!" he yelled, trying to pull the monster down with its rope, but even when he was handling one, the rest of them were stomping, biting, or
whatever at other tents, posts, carts, and so on.
His heart was already wallowing in grief for whatever punishment he would go through after this was over.
Fortunately, there were plenty of other beastmasters around and they arrived within a few minutes.
They were extremely shocked at the mess that was happening, but they were quick on their feet and handled the beasts in a short amount of time.
Their calming skills emanated all over the area, with more and more monsters slowing down, showing some calmness. It was not easy, however, and
it definitely took quite a bit of mana from them.
There were stronger ones that needed several beastmasters too and even injured a few. They yelled in pain but were otherwise okay.
However, their glare directed in Taho’s direction was extremely venomous and he feared for his life.
Should he just run away?
However, one of the beasts slipped away and was heading towards the main Town square. If it went there many common citizens would definitely get
injured or even perish!
Without thinking, he ran over there to block the monster’s way. He had no choice but to take out a weapon in his space, ready to fight it as long as it
didn’t go past him.
Clack!
Slash!
ROAR!
More and more wounds found his body, but he persisted. If someone died because of his clumsiness, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself!
However, just as he was about to attack its eye, a familiar resounding voice caught him off guard.
"Don’t damage the merchandise!!"

The voice made him pause, and it gave the monster time to open its mouth to bite him right at the stomach.
"GAHHHHH!!!"
