This era is the era of beast tamers, and being a beast tamer is a profession that everyone in this world aspires to.

However, not everyone is born with the talent to become one.

Even if you successfully awaken the beast tamer ability, without sufficient talent and resources, you won't get far on the path of a beast tamer.

Celio Altamirano is already fifteen this year, and he is about to participate in the awakening ceremony held by the Iberia Beast Tamer League.

This is a mandatory ceremony that every boy and girl must undergo once they reach the age of fifteen.

From then on, their futures will diverge based on the level of their talent.

Celio's current feelings are a mix of excitement and anxiety.

He's excited because he's about to take part in this awakening ceremony.

As long as he can awaken a beast tamer ability, regardless of how strong it is, just having one ability would qualify him to become a novice beast tamer!

However, he's also worried about what will happen if he can't awaken any beast tamer ability.

Celio's father was a soldier in the Iberia Beast Tamer Army.

Not long after Celio was born, his father died in a battle defending the country, leaving behind ten million in compensation for Celio and his mother.

Celio's mother is a senior Nurturist who mainly studies Herba-type spirit beasts.

Her income is quite good, with an annual salary of around 500,000 Crystos.

Celio's family is relatively well-off, so as long as he can awaken his beast tamer ability, he doesn't need to worry too much about the resources he needs for training his spirit beasts in the short term.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Even if he couldn't awaken a beast tamer ability, as an ordinary person, Celio could still live a prosperous and peaceful life.

But Celio admired his father very much.

He was proud to have a father who had served as a soldier!

He wanted to be like him, to follow in his footsteps!

In other words, he longed to become a beast tamer!

This was their final visit to their alma mater, and every one of them was dressed formally.

It was a symbolic farewell to their childhood.

The Class 1 homeroom teacher looked at the students he had been teaching for years.

He adjusted his glasses with a hand, tears of reluctance shining in his eyes, "Students! This is our last gathering in this classroom! I won't say much to make it sentimental—I'm sure you're all eager for what's next! I'll start calling names now! When you hear your name, come with me! I'll lead you to the awakening ceremony!"

"Alba Ríos!"

"Here!"

"Rey Alejandro!"

"Here!"

…

"Celio Altamirano!"

"Here!"

After a long wait, it was finally his turn!

Celio excitedly followed his homeroom teacher into a small room, where he met Piedra Rodrigo, an Intermediate Beast Tamer who was responsible for conducting the awakening ceremony.

Seeing Celio standing there, looking a bit lost, Piedra felt a sense of nostalgia.
