Chapter 343 Empowerment The Pets become stronger [1]
The Vermilion Royal Academy…
The Vermilion Royal Academy was bustling with activity as the new students eagerly explored parts of the academy and made themselves comfortable; after all, they'd be spending three years at the academy.
In the first few days, things went smoothly with no conflicts among the students, but this was only on the surface. Despite the academic section not even starting for a week yet, there were some specific students who wanted to establish themselves as the top dogs of the academy, recruiting lackeys underneath them to do their bidding and gradually control the entire academy.
The leaders of these factions weren't just any no-names; they were wealthy and influential, and all of them were from the special class and alpha class. With wealth, it was pretty easy to entice most of the students to their side.
Inside the special class dormitory, a certain boy with a mask on his face was standing in front of a room, tapping his feet impatiently on the rug.
Knock! Knock!
'Still no answer?' Blake thought, worried slightly. A day had already passed since Nox took leave from Wendy. On the first day, Blake had come knocking but there was no answer, just like today. At first, he thought it was because maybe Nox wasn't feeling fine, perhaps a bad stomach ache or something. Hence, he decided to let him go.
And yet today, the same thing happened again.
"Is he even still alive in there?" Blake placed his palm on the door. He had long discovered that it was locked, but he was confident that with just a little bit of his strength, he could force his way through. Clenching his fist, he was about to barge in, but suddenly he sensed a presence behind him and hurriedly turned around.
Nyx was staring at him with her midnight eyes, an indifferent expression crossing her features. She was dressed in the Vermilion academy uniform and appeared stunningly beautiful in it as it clung to her lithe but attractive curves.
Despite her lovely appearance, her eyes told a different story entirely. They were filled with hostility. In a sharp tone, Nyx demanded, "What are you doing?"
"I uh..." Blake stammered, scratching his head as he fumbled for words to say. Nyx's eyes became even more slit-like, and the profound mass of darkness within them made her very intimidating.

Several big beads of sweat accumulated on Blake's forehead. He exhaled deeply, calming his nerves as he managed to say, "I was just worried. I wanted to check on him."
Nyx stared at him for some time before speaking. "He took a leave from the Academy, and next time don't try to barge into my brother's room like that."
With that, she walked away.
Blake watched the door for some more time before leaving to attend class. Today was an important class because the main instructor, who was a big shot in the royal capital, would be attending.
After Blake left the scene, Glen, the full-bodied armored figure, stepped out of her room, glanced at room 200, and pulled a communication crystal out before going back inside.
In the unknown dimension, Nox and Akira had been traveling for quite some time now. They had yet to encounter any more Valkyries, something the latter was very grateful for, because currently, he was traveling without a mask on. He tried putting on the mask of the hound, but he had to pull it off, as his body shape was a dead giveaway that he was a male.
Of course, the Valkyries were a bit masculine, but their walking pattern still had a certain flair that could only be associated with women. Except Nox was to dress and walk like a woman, there was no way he could fool anyone with just his mask on. Therefore, he came up with an idea.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
'If I sight a presence from afar, I'd immediately use Phantom Cloak. Since humans were also classified as objects, I could also then make Akira invisible.'
The two continued to travel and soon arrived at a valley. Nox came to an abrupt stop. The valley stretched out under the bright sun, and strange trees and large chunks of rock covered the ground.
Nox, Akira, and the pets stood at the edge, scanning the area. Nox narrowed his eyes; at first, it was confusing because of the huge chunks of rocks that seemed to have been carved out of the valley, but as he looked closely, he discovered that there was something else!
Rock golems with orb-like blue eyes. They seemed dumb and silly, yet powerful at the same time. A majority of them were sunbathing, while a few were splitting the rocks apart and eating, causing a crunchy sound to echo throughout the air.
'I have a job for you guys.' Nox turned to his pets, whose eyes immediately lit up. 'I want you guys to kill all the weak golems and leave the strongest one alive.'
[Fight!] Thirteen spoke up, his eyes shining with eagerness.
As soon as he granted them permission, all the pets lunged forward at once like a storm, and a one-sided massacre unfolded before Nox and Akira.
As he watched them, Nox silently contemplated in his heart. So far, he had not come across any beast or Valkyrie with good skills to copy and bestow to his pets, which was one of his original goals for coming here.
Nox had this nagging feeling that something terrible would soon happen. It was pure instinct, and his instincts had rarely failed him in both of his lives. He knew he needed to prepare for whatever would happen so that he wouldn't be caught off guard and die like a fool.
Though he was very powerful, a beast tamer wasn't one who fought alone; he needed his pets, and he needed them to be at their strongest form.
As he was absentmindedly watching the fight, he noticed Astralux used one of her abilities, Levitation.
[Levitation (Basic): Astralux can levitate itself and nearby objects, allowing it to move through the air with ease and avoid attacks.]
The spatial jellyfish lifted a massive chunk of rock and dropped it on a golem. That golem looked up, its orb-like eyes filled with horror, but it was too late as it was crushed under the giant boulder.
As Nox watched this, he thought of something. 'This is something new. I have never tried to copy the skills of my pets.'

"Do you wish to bestow this skill to your pet?"
'Wait a minute.' Nox's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something... something that he had never thought about in the last 15 years of his life! The prospect alone gave him chills down his skin!
