Chapter 15: Chapter 14: False qualification

The confidence Simon had carried into the trial wilted a little.

Captain Adam as the man liked to call himself was a beast of a tamer unlike he had ever seen before. The man battled up to six tamers at a time and still was better at the fight than the rest combined. His monster girls fought with a brutal efficiency that he never saw before and all of them were in 'false gems'. The trial master never once brought out his personal team which he knew could decimate everything and everyone here. And he did not even mention that he was also giving an orientation speech to the new tamers that entered the trial center

A part of him knew that he would face a 'prepared' team appropriate for his stage but it brought to attention just how small he was in the grand scheme of things. He still had a long way to go.

"Alright, now that all of us have some idea of how to deal with this act we all must play, please be as you may." 

Simon did not know what he was expecting. His idea of a [hero] was a grizzled and jaded war veteran like his dad, not this upbeat well-spoken person though he still carried that vibe of someone who saw way too much of the world.

"Sir. I would like to take on the trial." one of the numerous new tamers that he was milling around with pointed out.

"Don't you all? Well, one pre-requirement is to have a tier 3 monster girl with a level 1 bond so bring them out if you have one..."

His focus shifted to the dozen or so battlefields and the monster girls the tamers were fighting upped their combat prowess immediately. Most could not tell and would assume nothing changed but Simon had an acute knowledge of these things(you had to when the facts were beaten into you) and saw the small shifts in the monster girls that seemed to be fighting without any guidance.

The size of the crowd doubled as an army of monster girls appeared from gems and a few from their equipment form.

"Yeah... No. Those who are using the binding gems as level 1 substitute please use our facilities to level the bond or leave the trial center."

"What?! But mine is a level 2 bond!" 

A young man with rather fancy-looking clothes shouted. From his angled features to his overblown attire, everything about him screamed, rich. He was probably one of those 'snobs' he was warned about. Everyone loved drama and he was no different as his eyes were glued to the teenager.

"Yes, and you are using 'false gems'." Captain Adam replied calmly.

"So?!" 

The boy was indignant. 

"What you are doing goes against the spirit of the trials."

"Yes! But is it against the rules?! I read up on the rules, and it clearly states 'possessing the effective status of a level 2 bond or level 1 true bond' and I have an effective level 2 bond." The young man regained his posture halfway through his statement and replied calmly.

The [hero] sighed before scratching his head. He wanted to argue his point further but realized that what the petulant brat had said was technically true. 'False gems' imitated a level 2 bond but prevented any bond exp from being earned, invented for the private use of trial masters but very recently a law was passed that broadened their use. The ruling body behind the trials of taming had yet to come around and exempt them from the trials making them still a shortcut for the rich.

His pride as a [hero] bristled at the lack of respect for the way of things but going against the law was a mark on his record and he was already on hot water for his stunts on the last monster wave. 

It was not time to play hard but play smart, nobles loved to play their petty games with [heroes] but they forgot that compared to a [hero]'s life a noble's was but a speck. Sure, he could technically get in the trials but it was the trial master that set the challenge. He wondered how effective this spoiled brat was at taming a hydra.

He gave a bow to the child.

"Forgive this old man, it seems his old age made him slightly senile."

His bow hid the cruel smirk he had on his face. Since they were on technicalities, he was technically allowed to set the taming challenge how he saw fit as long as the tamer in question came out alive. The hydra he had in mind, however, was set as a fourth trial, not the first one and he had yet to find someone who could pass the trial. 

But unlike the combat trial which was set by the governing body, the taming trial was left to his discretion and he was about to abuse the shit out of it. This little shit was about to find out the price of shortcuts.

As he came back up his eyes fell onto the rest. The crowd had dispersed and the other tamers who still had the qualifications remained. Out of the original 30 or so, only six remained if one included the rich teenager.

"For the rest of you who 'earned' earned your qualifications, enter one of the huts. You will find the first half of the trials there."

"What about me?" asked the challenging teenager.

"Oh! I have a special challenge that matches your stature." 

He said with a smile on his face. 

Simon felt that smile did not reach his eyes. Captain Adam had that look his dad gave him when he was about to be thrown into hell and Simon wanted to be far away. His skin still crawled from past experiences and he diverted his attention to one of the floating huts that dotted the surface of the water.

He was a half-demon, the taming challenge was going to be easy.

For the other qualified tamers that held true.

But for one of them... He was about to truly get intimate with the term: voracious.
