"So, Mr. Rodrigo, may I ask what brings you here?" Belén inquired.

"I came for one reason: I hope Celio will choose to attend Cerisier City's No. 1 Beast Tamer High School!" Piedra answered directly, not bothering with pleasantries.

"I disagree! My son has such a high-level talent! Why should he attend a Beast Tamer High School that isn't even ranked in the top 50 in the country?" Belén immediately voiced her opposition.

"Ms. Alegre, please hear me out! We aren't offering this deal for nothing! If Celio stays in Cerisier City, he will enjoy all the benefits reserved for high-level Beast Tamers! He will also have priority in choosing spirit beasts, free access to training facilities, and an 80% discount on various training resources! Additionally, the city's resources will be heavily allocated toward him," Piedra said, listing the generous terms the Cerisier City Beast Tamer League had to offer.

It was clear that they were coming with sincere intentions.

"All of these benefits will be permanent! We only hope that Celio will lead Cerisier City's No. 1 Beast Tamer High School in the Beast Tamer High School League Tournament!"

Belén, with her elevated social status, could sense the sincerity in Piedra's words.

She fell silent, unsure of what decision to make.

If Celio were to study in other Tier 1 cities, he would have access to stronger teaching resources, surrounded by geniuses, including those with gold-level talents.

The highly competitive environment would broaden Celio's horizons, which was the primary reason she had initially wanted him to attend school in a larger city.

However, the advantages offered by Cerisier City were too enticing to ignore.

These resources far exceeded what she could provide for Celio on her own and would give him an early advantage, comparable to those raised in powerful families.

Belén couldn't decide.

She turned her head to Celio, asking, "Celio, what do you think?"

Piedra also turned his head to look at Celio, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Celio smiled confidently. "Is there even a choice? Of course, I'm choosing Cerisier City's No. 1 Beast Tamer High School!"

"That's great!" Piedra exclaimed in joy, pulling a gold-edged card from his pocket and handing it to Celio.

"This card is your pass! With it, you'll receive discounts at any spirit beasts related shop in the Cerisier City!"

"Oh, by the way, you haven't chosen your initial spirit beast yet, right? Tomorrow, you can go to Cerisier City's breeding center and pick a newly-born spirit beast! Your first one is free—no need to pay!"

Celio nodded his head while accepting the card, "I understand!"

...

The next day, Belén was ready to take Celio to the breeding center in Cerisier City to choose his first spirit beast.

In general, when Beast Tamers choose their first spirit beast, they focus more on the spirit beast's potential.

The spirit beasts with two stages of evolution are the top choice for most people.
