Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 903

Chapter 903: Chapter 903 - Taming the Fifth Year - Attrition - Final Battle - 2

Luna was standing, arms relaxed at her sides. Breathing steady. Eyes focused on Ren with seriousness that suggested she’d been preparing for this confrontation.

Her team’s five remaining Silver-rank would go after her.

Not dismissed...

But everything about Luna’s posture suggested they wouldn’t be participating. That she’d chosen direct confrontation to finish this by her hand.

Was it perhaps because she didn’t want to use tactics that felt unfair?

A preference for direct confrontation over a strategic optimization that could be perceived as cowardly?

Luna had demonstrated during years that she valued certain honor code in how she approached things.

Or perhaps it was simply because, as Liora had discovered during her own battle, starting with absorption wasn’t convenient for some specific reason related to mechanics of how the wolf processed stolen energy.

Perhaps there was a limit to how much it could store before battle without creating instability.

The mechanism might not function properly.

Or perhaps timing of absorption mattered more than the technique suggested superficially. Maybe fresh absorption during combat was more efficient than pre-battle stockpiling. Maybe the wolf’s system was optimized for sustained drain during exchanges rather than burst absorption before engagement.

Nobody knew with complete certainty what the true motivation was.

Maybe all were wrong and even Luna didn’t know and was just pretending as always...

But honestly it didn’t matter in terms of how Ren needed responding.

The only thing known with absolute certainty was that this would be the year’s last battle. The final confrontation determining the fifth-year exam results and establishing the final hierarchy between the two most exceptional tamers of their generation who were becoming adults by their society’s standards.

Both had just turned 15 within the last few days. Both will legally be considered adults after this rather than adolescents. Both will have responsibilities and privileges that came with that transition.

And this battle would be the first major event the people remembered from their adulthood.

Not just victory but the manner in which victory was pursued.

Of course, it would be enormously convenient for Ren if Luna used her Lesser Celestial Tiger now instead of the wolf.

The Tiger was an impressive beast certainly. A creature with capabilities exceeding what most Gold 1 could manifest. It was a formidable opponent that shouldn’t be underestimated.

But it didn’t have that extra weird shadow affinity. Didn’t have that mysterious aura that the wolf possessed. That elusive quality making even the sleeping fungus unable to completely identify what made the creature so distinctive.

The Tiger’s capabilities were well-documented. Strong but standard advancement path for its species.

Predictable elemental interactions...

Ren could plan around it.

The wolf was beatable but weird... Some of the times Ren had faced it, he’d noticed new subtleties that previous observations hadn’t revealed. Small details that accumulated into significant ones.

But tamer order was already established, not beasts. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
