Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith-Chapter 266 Tamed Without A Technique?

Nria looked at him with wide eyes and a delighted smile on his face. An awkward silence prolonged as Lyrian looked around. Everyone was staring right at him.

'Am I... supposed to say something? What's everyone waiting for?' He mused with confusion.

"So... tell us. What taming technique did you use?" Nria said as she saw that Lyrian had remained silent.

'What technique?' He was dumbfounded. 'I am supposed to be confident, but I shouldn't lie either. What's the point in that.'

"I didn't use a technique. Nova here simply took a liking to me." He stopped himself there before he could say 'I guess' at the end. That would sound unconfident.

Several gasps of astonishment and awe reverberated through the kids.

"Wow..."

"How is that even possible for a Pheon? My Tree Turtle won't even do that, let alone a high-ranking pet such as that..."

Nria herself was even more pleased, as her smile stretched even more. 'A... prodigy! How is it possible, to have a beast like this be tamed from sheer presence!' She thought to herself, looking at Nova who joyfully flew around Lyrian's head.

Lyrian followed the bird with his eyes, as everyone else in the class did as well. He looked at it in annoyance, but everyone else looked at it with jealousy and amazement.

'I wish my creature flew around me like that...'

'How his Pheon so... lively? My Rock Snake doesn't even move...'

"Alright, calm down bird. Stop flying around me, it's getting annoying." Lyrian suddenly exclaimed, as Nova quickly stopped and landed on top of his head.

Even more gasps sounded from the class. This time they originated from different emotions; a mix of surprise and even some anger.

'How could he be so rude to his pet!? He is ungrateful! If my pet behaved so nicely, I would praise it a hundred times each day!'

'Woah... it stopped with a single command? Did he really not use any technique to tame it?'

Nria eventually began her lesson, but most of the class spent time looking at Nova. Nova wasn't too upset about this either, looking rather happy on Lyrian's head. It—or rather, he, had his chin up and eyes closed, feeling prideful.

While on the other hand, Lyrian, whose temple Nova stood on, felt irritated by the whole predicament. He didn't like everyone's eyes on him for such an extended period for such an odd reason... it was weird.

The class end was a relief, as Lyrian quickly got out of there before anyone could ask him questions.

"Hey! I want to ask you what you did to make it like you so much!"

Kids began to shout questions at him as they saw him rushing to leave. However, Lyrian ignored all of them and skedaddled away.

In the halls, he looked up at Nova and heaved a relieved sigh. 'This school life is getting boring... I don't learn anything, and instead, I get pissed off...'

In the canteen, Lyrian noticed Draco walk by his table again. The boy had a cheeky smirk on his face as if to tease Lyrian.

As Lyrian's eyes followed him, he thought of getting revenge. 'It's been a while since my last encounter with him. I want to avenge my loss from last time. I'll have to do it while still hiding my identity, so it won't be as satisfying. But it's sure as hell going to be fun still.' A smirk donned his face as he thought of it. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

In Rerth's class, Lyrian was acknowledged by the teacher for his absence for the first time in the day.

As he and his classmates sat on the stalls, waiting to be counted up, Rerth approached him.

"Boy, how are you feeling? Not injured for life or anything like that, are you?" He shoved Lyrian on the back with quite a bit of force, making Lyrian nearly stumble forward.

"I'm fine, Rerth, better than before." What he said was true, but he made sure to say it in a way where Rerth understood his annoyance.

"Haha! I'm just messing with ya! I have your medical records in my back pocket, kid. I was just testing you to see if you were going to try and get out of today's lesson." Rerth stared at Lyrian with a smile on his face after finishing his joke.

He expected some laughter from Lyrian or at least one of the other students, but they all just stared at him blankly. "Ah?" He asked, encouraging laughter, "Ah." He said in disappointment, not smiling anymore.

Walking to the front of the class, he began to speak, "Alright, well listen up brats! You have all been training for a while now and have gotten stronger. More acclimated to intense physical scenarios!"

Everyone shook their heads in agreement as he continued.

"Now, you will all be tested a bit on what you have learned so far!"

As he said this, many kids smiled in excitement.

"Finally!" A kid blurted out, seemingly excited.

"It's happening! Soon, we won't have to spend our lives at this crappy school anymore!" Another said to his friend.

'Huh?' Lyrian mused in confusion. 'What is he talking about... not spending their lives here.' He was slightly interested, as life at the academy had started to get quite crappy for him as well. At least, life in his classes.

"Tomorrow, we will perform a scheduled hunt! Today, I will explain what it is, and what you will have to do to fully prepare for it."

Rerth took in a big breath, "Two classes! Each one is a Hunting Class, one led by me, and one led by another Hunting Class instructor. You brats and the brats of the other class will enter a marked domain in the forest. There, both teams will be released into the Venus Dungeon, and the one with the most valuable beast items will win a prize. That is your motive to try your best. This isn't an exam where you pass or fail, but still, don't slack off. If you do, I won't cut you into the prize at all..."
