New law of Beast Taming

"H-Hey, what are you doing kid? This is a crime scene and you cannot contaminate it with your action.

Amane had not been paying attention to other humans on the scene but the sudden yell attracted her attention away from the site of inspection. It also made her lose her concentration and she lost sight of the smell she had picked up.

The enraged face that looked back at Amane felt quite forgetful to her. But there was a hoard of people that surrounded that man.

"Who is that sassy old man? I do not think he knows what he is doing here so he should go home now."

Amane meant that in the best way possible. She had not meant to trigger anyone's temper but she did not know what she was doing.

"Y-You ignorant fool. Do you not know who I am? I am Ashley Turner. The Ashley Tunner. The one and only top expert in my field. Do you understand my greatness now?"

The man tried to pose weirdly. Amane looked at him calmly before she lost interest.

A weird pose could only hold your focus for so long. And Amane was more curious about the palace she had walked into.

A normal human could not see or smell the concentrated beast energy this place had. And the abnormality of the beast's presence made Amane sick to her stomach.

If she had any doubts regarding the usage of Chimeras before, now she had none left.

"Lady Suzuki, I know this child is your guest and all, but maybe you should not have brought such an ignorant child into this place. She is going to destroy all the evidence I worked hard to collect."'

Ashley Tunner complained to Charlie in hopes to appeal to her and to get the rude child out of his way. He did not like how this ignorant child did not pay attention to him and continued to look at the site.

Something about this female caused Ashley to feel insecure and he wanted that feeling gone.

"Oh, mister Tunner, I wish I could help you. But unfortunately, Lady Tsurugi is here on official business. As the leading beast tamer family's head, she is here to assist in this case."

Ashley Tunner flinched as soon as he heard the family name of this ignorant girl. But then he calmed down just as fast.

He had known the former head of the Tsurugi family and he knew the true secret of that family. No one in that family had any 'real' abilities.

So, his position as the lead beast researched was as good as secured. He could even use this opportunity to promote himself and his vast knowledge by outclassing this young lady.

'It is time to show my students what I am made up of. Now, which fact should I bring up first to humiliate this child?'

Ashley Tunner knew what he was doing was wrong. He should not be using other people to show his superiority. But that was how this business worked and he had no regrets trying this method out as well.

"Anyway students, what I was about to tell you was this. You see these claw marks here? They belong to a griffin. So, I think there was a griffin on the site."

"And this one is a minotaur's mark and this one belongs to a lynx. So, there were three beasts on the site. They might be part of the same pack."

Amane watched the man teach his students all this and she could not help but flinch at the half-knowledge he was giving them.

Either that or the man did not know what he was saying. A lynx and a griffin would never be part of the same pack unless they were tamed and trained for a long time.

These two species were mortal enemies and their instinct was to fight against each other.

Amane would have wanted to correct this man if not for the fact that she could feel something in the air that belonged to none of these categories.

There was one beast trait that left no trace in this mixture and Amane could only talk about its presence because of its stench.

'A Naga. They also mixed a Naga into the chimera's body.'

Amane was glad she had decided to come to this site. This mixture of beasts inside this chimera was volatile. And it would not have a long life to live in such a scenario.

So, there was a high chance this beast would be out of its mind due to the pain and suffering it was experiencing. It would also try to kill things it was unfamiliar with because of this.

'Tsk, this is bad. I can still smell that stench in the air. That means that the chimera is still hiding somewhere close by.

"-and that is why we need to be careful. Lady Tsurugi, what do you think about my lecture? Are left in awe because of my expertise? Do not worry. One day, you shall know as much as I do now and…"

"Huh, sorry but I was not paying attention to what you were saying. Can you repeat it so that I can refresh my mind?"

Amane had meant it in the best way possible. But Ashley Tunner took it as an insult. He could see his trainees getting angry at Lady Yoko Tsurugi's ignorance of his brilliance as well.

"H-How could you not pay attention to a topic when an expert is speaking to you? Just because your family heads a business in this field does not make you an expert. I dedicated my life to this profession and…"

Amane stilled and her body went tense. She felt the earth vibrate as something heavy pushed against it. The beast was waking up and it would soon come to find a prayer.

"Lady Yoko, what is wrong? You look a little sick."

Charlie finally asked Amane this question. The divine leader had been enjoying this banter thus far but now she was worried as well.

Sean was standing alert as well, knowing what Yoko Tsurugi could do and what she could sense.

"It is coming. The chimera is coming so get ready."

Maybe there was no reason to warn Charlie or all people about this. She was a strong enough person to become a divine leader.

But in Amane's eyes, she was still that small kid Amane had saved a long time ago. So, she ended up warning Charlie about this anyway.

"Wait, what do you mean a chimera? Those things are not possible to make since the genetic make-up of the beasts is weird and…"

Ashley Tunner spoke up like a fool, not realizing that he only had half-knowledge about beasts and their history.

Chimera had existed for as long as humans had and those poor things had always been a result of human greed.

"Here it comes. I want to capture it alive so try not to hurt it too much."

A chimera's existence was filled with pain and a desire to die. So, Amane was being a selfish bastard by not giving it what it wanted.

But Amane did need this creature alive to extract information from it. And then she would allow it to die a peaceful death.

"W-What is that thing?"

Ashley Tunner was the first one to see the abomination that was a chimera. Body of a minotaur, legs like a Griffin, and the face of a lynx. The chimera was a mixture of creatures.

"I-I knew it was these three species. See, I was right?"

Ashley Tunner sounded scared but proud of himself at the same time. His eyes were open in awe and that foolish man took a step forward the chimera. Experience more tales on freewebnovel

"Professor, what are you doing? You need to keep on paying attention and remain in safety."

One of Ashley's students held onto his hand so that he could not take a step forward. But the man was stubborn and he refused to step back. He even shook off his student's hand and continued to move forward.

"T-This creature, it's so unique and…"

"Charlie, put up a poison nullifying shield to stop a Naga breath."

Charlie Suzuki, the divine leader was startled at the sudden order. But she did as she was asked to do.

One of Ashley's students pulled him behind the shield in time for the poison breath to hit them. They all watched in horror as their surroundings got more and more corroded.

"Yoko, what is the plan? I can always kill that thing but capturing it alive would be a little difficult with my powers and the burdens behind me."

Charlie Suzuki's words caused everyone to flinch. But they could not complain against her words when they were true.

"Hmm, just protect the weaklings. I will take care of the beast on my own. And o not try to slow me down. I do not like unnecessary burdens"

Charlie Suzuki almost flinched with a complicated expression on her face. Her eyes looked at Amane with unknown emotions before she grinned and let her go.
