The next morning, Kaito decided to visit the local monster market. The city was known for its Hunters Association, a guild of experienced tamers and hunters who sold and traded monsters, eggs, and monster-related goods. The market, located just outside the academy grounds, was bustling with activity. Merchants from all over the continent came here to sell their wares, from rare beast eggs to powerful potions.
As Kaito walked through the market, he was drawn to a small, weathered shop tucked away between larger stalls. It was called The Hunter's Rest. The shop's owner, an elderly man with silver hair and a wide-brimmed hat, stood behind the counter. He greeted Kaito with a nod.
"Ah, a new face. What can I do for you, young man?" the old man asked, his voice raspy yet kind.
Kaito hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm looking for a monster egg. Something I can train and bond with."
The old man's eyes twinkled. "Well, you've come to the right place. We've got all sorts of eggs—common, rare, and even some that are... well, let's say, unpredictable." He chuckled softly as he gestured to the back of the shop, where a display of various colored eggs sat under soft lighting. "You're a newly awakened tamer, yes? I can give you a special deal on a random eggs. It's 50% off for those with beginner talent, like yourself."
Kaito's eyes widened. "50% off?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, but don't get too excited. The eggs are random. You don't know what you'll get. Some of them are worth nothing more than a few scraps of meat, while others... well, they can change your life."
Kaito didn't hesitate. "I'll take one."
The old man smiled knowingly. "A wise choice. Go ahead and pick an egg. Don't worry, we'll help you bond with it."
Kaito browsed through the store and finally upon countless minutes he picked up a glowing green egg from the shelf, feeling an odd warmth emanating from it. It was slightly larger than the others, and the color shifted from green to blue as he held it. He wasn't sure why, but something about the egg felt right.

----------------------
Kaito's heart skipped a beat as the system's voice rang in his mind. A Starlight Fox? A Space-Type monster?! Kaito had heard of such creatures, but they were extremely rare. This was a Bronze rank monster and level of this monster was high than normal newly hatched eggs which starts from level 0-1, which was far more powerful than the usual beasts tamers started with.
----------------------
Kaito's heart raced with excitement. He had Found a Space-Type monster Egg, a Starlight Fox! Not only had he obtained a powerful beast, but his Skill Enhancement talent would make it even stronger.
"Looks like you've got yourself a gem, kid," the old man chuckled, watching the fox nuzzle Kaito's hand. Kaito smiled, his heart filled with joy. He had just taken his first step into a new world of possibilities. With the Starlight Fox by his side, and the power of the Beast Taming System guiding him, there was no telling where this journey would lead. Shortly after, Kaito leaved the shop and was on his way back to home excited.
The morning sunlight streamed through Kaito's window, casting a warm glow across the room. He had barely slept, his mind too preoccupied with the events of yesterday—the awakening of his SSS-level talent, the rewards from the Headmaster, and most notably, the strange and mysterious Starlight Fox egg now resting on his desk.
Kaito sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes as he stared at the egg. There was something almost... alive about it. The markings on its surface seemed to shimmer faintly in the sunlight, as if the egg itself were reacting to the light. Kaito couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within him.
It's just an egg, he reminded himself. A low-tier monster with potential. Maybe even Bronze Rank. But this is my first real step. I need to focus.
His heart raced as he thought about the Beast Taming System he had discovered only yesterday. He still couldn't quite grasp the full extent of its power, but he knew one thing for sure: his talents were unlike anything anyone had seen before. With the ability to tame monsters up to one rank higher than himself and the 10x experience boost, Kaito could level up his monsters—and himself—at an accelerated pace. He felt like he was standing at the edge of something huge, like a massive door was opening to a world he had barely begun to comprehend.Starlight Fox EggType: Space MonsterKaito placed the Starlight Fox egg carefully in his hands, his fingers lightly tracing its smooth surface. He could feel the faint pulse of energy coming from inside. Despite his lack of experience, the bond between him and the egg already felt stronger than he could explain.
Time to see if my talent really works, Kaito thought, activating the Beast Taming System for the first time that morning.
A series of holographic screens appeared in front of him, and Kaito instinctively focused on the egg. His heart skipped a beat as a window popped up:

Kaito stared at the stats in awe. The Starlight Fox was a space-type monster—a rarity among the low-tier creatures. The idea that a Bronze Rank monster already had abilities like Light Manipulation and Energy Shield was impressive. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. This could be his first real partner.
And it's a space-type, Kaito thought. This might make things a lot more interesting.
The egg itself was a delicate, pearlescent white with faint glowing patterns that pulsed in rhythm with the light. It was smaller than a basketball, but Kaito could feel its potential—the kind of power that, if nurtured, could grow into something truly formidable.

Kaito sat down on his bed, carefully placing the egg before him. He knew he needed to begin the bonding process, even if it was his first time trying it out. According to the information from his system, the bond between a tamer and their monster grew through time and experiences. Some bonds were quick, others slow, depending on the nature of the monster and the tamer's ability to connect.
Kaito took a deep breath, reaching out with his consciousness, attempting to establish a connection with the egg. It wasn't easy at first. There was a subtle resistance, like the egg was testing him—waiting to see if he was worthy of its bond.
Focus, Kaito thought, concentrating harder. His eyes narrowed as he extended his mental reach toward the egg. Slowly, the energy around it began to resonate with his own.
A ripple of warmth spread through him as his consciousness touched the egg. Suddenly, Kaito felt a strange sense of recognition. The bond had been formed.
