Shiro: The Secret Hero
26. Selecting

"Congratulations on successfully attacking me, here comes your reward, please take it"

Shiryuu-senpai took out something from her pocket.

Shiro and the others were very excited when they found out that the gift had already been prepared by Shiryuu-senpai. They looked impatient and focused on what Shiryuu-senpai was going to give them.

But look at what Shiryuu-senpai put out. They were a bit confused, because what he was thrusting was an object that they thought was strange if used as a gift.

"senpai, this piece of paper is our gift" Denshu said in disappointment.

Shiro was confused, but he still held the paper.he was afraid that Shiryuu-senpai had hidden intentions of giving them a piece of paper.

As for Brendy, he just flipped through the paper for a while, then wanted to throw it away.

"Wait, don't throw it away."

Shiryuu-senpai tries to stop Brendy's actions. Brendy complied and snorted coldly.

After that, Shiryuu-senpai began to explain what it meant to give the paper.

"Ehemk. Actually senpai wants to help you in finding a calling beast or monster that you can make a fighting partner..So, please write down what animals you want" Shiryuu-senpai explained.

"Eh, not just Summoner huh ! who can have a Monster partner to fight?" brendy asked confusedly while scratching her head.

"Ish you, instead of Ogito-sensei explained during the academy, if all Job can have a summoning beast as their fighting partner, how the hell?" denshu said trying to straighten out the facts.

"Eh yes ? I forgot Hehe." Brendy was just a whimper when he found out the truth.

"Rightly what Denshu said, every Job or hero could have a Summoning Beast, usually called a Battle Pet. The difference with the Summoner was that the summoned Beast could not enter the special dimensional space, then...." Shiryuu-senpai began to explain.

Hearing Shiryuu-senpai's explanation, the three nodded and finally understood what Shiryuu-senpai meant.

"senpai, if I were, I'd like a summoned beast that could be a Tanker." Brendy Oxford said.

"Oh, why do you want a call beast like that?" ask Shiryuu-senpai.

"Because I'm an assassin, I need a partner who is resilient and can dispel enemy attacks, so that I can freely find gaps and attack enemies." explained Brendy Oxford.

Hearing Brendy Oxford's explanation, Shiryuu-senpai nodded and looked at Shiro and Denshu Sishoku. "What about you guys?"

"I also need a Battle Pet for melee attacks, but I want a Battle Pet that focuses on Agility and speed. Moreover, if it can be ridden, because my speed is relatively slow between the two of them" Denshu Sishoku answered first and told the beast what kind of call he wanted.

Shiryuu-senpai nodded and began to look at Shiro, "What about you ? Do you need one that can attack long distances?"

"Ethto.. I haven't thought about it yet, but it seems I need a calling beast that can lurk, hide, and attack silently." Shiro began to think and explain about the call beast he wanted.

Hearing Shiro's request, Shiryuu-senpai begins to think about what kind of animal Shiro is suited to.

"For Brendy, the Bear or the Great Ape seems to suit you, whereas Denshu seems like the Wolf or Tiger is the most fitting."

"And for Shiro, the most animal calls are Snakes, Chameleons or insects that can be in the category you want." replied Shiryuu-senpai.

Hearing Shiryuu-senpai's reply, Shiro began to think what kind of beast was a match. But he began to think that chameleons seemed to fit.

Not only Shiro, Denshu and Brendy also started to think about what kind of Battle Pet they wanted.

Looking at his three pensive juniors thinking about Battle Pet, Shiryuu-senpai smiled and gave the three some advice. "How about we go around the Yuki Family Industry first, there is a Monster Farm there too, maybe you can get inspiration and can decide what Battle Pet you want."

"Oke senpai" said the three.

They also began to tour the Yuki Family Industry that they had not had time to explore.

From Apparel Stores, Weapon Forging Workshops, Monster Crystal Exchange Rplaces, Restaurants where Shiro and the others had lunch, and many more.

Towards Afternoon, they finally arrived at the Battle Pet Special Monster Ranch. Its location on the outskirts of the city makes their trip long enough.

Denshu who has the lowest stamina among them, often complains on the way. However Shiryuu-senpai only explained that the Location of Monster Cultivation and Farm was indeed a current in the outskirts of the City, it all came from the City Regulations and the Hero Association.

Because once the occurrence of Battle Pet that has not been domesticated regardless in urban areas. This has resulted in some casualties and material losses.

Therefore, the Hero Association suggested to each City that every Monster-related Industry should be on the outskirts of the City. Prevention is better than cure.

Arriving there, Shiryuu-senpai began to take them around. He began to introduce Battle Pet whatever was there. From insect types, flying types, fighting types in water and such.

Although the Yuki Family Monster Farm was famous for the quality and abundance of Ice and Snow Type Monsters. But the quality of the other Battle Pet did not lose much.

Shiro and the others did not forget to note the introduction of some Battle Pet that they wanted and found them interesting.

A few hours passed, finally they finished also visiting the Monster Farm. They were on their way back, because it seemed that night was coming soon.

"How did it go ?" ask Shiryuu-senpai.

"Senpai, I want a Snow Gorilla, his stout physique and powerful attack are perfect for me" Brendy replied.

"Hem... I want a wolf in saju aja senpai."

Shiryuu-senpai shook her head when she heard Denshu's reply, "But it doesn't seem to suit you, you have the affinity of the Fire Element, the Snow Wolf is very uncomfortable with the fire element user"

Denshu was somewhat disappointed and asked back to Shiryuu-senpai, "Then what good is Senpai ?"

Shiryuu-senpai smiled and immediately replied, "What about the Wind Wolf? the speed is incredible, besides you can combine it with your fire attack so that your fire attack can become bigger"

Hearing Shiryuu-senpai's suggestion, Denshu's eyes sparkled and nodded in agreement, "Oke sensei, alright then. I chose the Wind Wolf only"

"If you were Shiro ? What do you want to choose ?" shiryuu-senpai asked as she turned to Shiro.

"senpai, what about the Worship Grasshopper or Mantis Grasshopper" Shiro asked Shiryuu-senpai.

Shiryuu-senpai thought for a while, then looked at Shiro as she said: "The Mantis puppeteer is good as well, but the large bagusan is about the size of a human. Its deadly attack plus camouflage ability can kill your opponent in one strike."

"But senpai, I want a medium one, the size of an arm to fit me" Shiro argued, correcting Shiryuu-senpai's opinion.

"Eh, are you sure ? The large Mantis grasshopper. The tiny Mantis grasshopper attacks so low that it is less effective" Shiryuu-senpai said in shock at Shiro's choice.

"It's okay Shiryuu-senpai, I think the one that fits is a medium-sized one. Attack problem, you can think about it later, because all I need is for reconnaissance. In addition, the big ones are even more easily detected by the enemy than the medium ones" Shiro said with a confident smile.

"Judge me if that's what you want"

Seeing Shiro's unanimous decision, Shiryuu-senpai could only give up. He appreciated the decision of Shiro and the others. He could only hope that Shiro would not regret it later on.

"Because all of you have expressed your opinions and wishes, please write on the paper I gave you this afternoon."

"Yes Shiryuu-senpai."

Shiro and the rest of his team began writing about the desired call animal and its characteristics.

Just a few minutes passed, the three of them had already collected the paper back to Shiryuu-senpai.

"Okay, everything is fixed! Just wait for the results in a few days, but maybe tomorrow there is a result" Shiryuu-senpai said.

"Okay senpai !" answer all three.

"Oh yes one more, tomorrow morning we gather again where we gathered this morning. We're about to begin our first mission. Don't be late." added Shiryuu-senpai while looking towards Shiro and the others.

The three nodded and continued on their way home.

After a long walk, the night came. Finally they reached the Yuki Family Industrial Center.

They went straight back to their rooms. They seemed quite tired from the trip today.

...****************...

The Yuki Family Industry office

` tok tok tok ~`

A knock was heard.

"Please Enter !"

The door was opened, Shiryuu Yuki or Shiryuu-senpai could be seen entering the room.

Inside the room was an old man sitting on a chair. Perhaps at a glance, the Old Man was very similar to Shiryuu-senpai, the difference only lay in the many wrinkles that added to the complexion of the Old Man's face and skin. The Old Man was the Chairman or Patriarch of the Yuki Family.

After entering, Shiryuu Yuki started kneeling down and was intending to report. " Report Patriarch! The three juniors I brought with me have already completed the adjustment stage in the Yuki Family Industry, we will start carrying out the first mission tomorrow"

"Oh, how's their quality?"

"They're pretty good, it's hard to beat all three together. The combination of attack, cooperation, strategy and also the tacit understanding between them was excellent."

"Oh, looks like the student you brought is quite interesting. What news is there again?" asked the Patriarch of the Yuki Family with a Seringai on his face.

"Yes, look at Patrirak. I want to facilitate the three disciples I taught with Battle Pet in order to earn their trust. Therefore, I intend to ask the Patriarch's permission to request some Battle Pet for them." Shiryuu Yuki replied as she handed him 3 pieces of paper.

The Patriarch of the Yuki Family was somewhat surprised by Shiryuu Yuki's request, then he picked up the 3 pieces of paper and started to read them one by one.

After reading it, the Patriarch slightly nodded with a smile.

"Since nothing is too good, just take what is written here. I hope you gain their trust and the mission you are responsible for is going well" the Yuki Family Patriarch replied.

Hearing the Patriarch's reply, Shiryuu Yuki was quite relieved, he tried to carry out his mission well. "Thank you Patriarch. I'll give permission first"

"Yes, good luck"

Shiryuu Yuki got up, turned around and walked out of the room. When he got out, he muttered softly. "Huh, it seems a bit troublesome"
