Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

Dennisʼs Rock Mole had exhausted a non insignificant amount of energy in that victory, its stamina depleted by the wood beastʼs root absorption during their exchange. Against Team Fiveʼs final beast, a fresh Silver 2 that had been saved specifically for a situation like this… it couldnʼt maintain the same level of aggression.

The fresh opponent overwhelmed the tired mole through superior stamina rather than superior skill, wearing it down through relentless assault that didnʼt allow recovery time.

Victory for Team Five and ʼwar matchʼ victory.

Score: 10-8

Ren hadnʼt needed to fight even once during the entire match.

His strategy had functioned almost perfectly. Heʼd arranged elemental advantages so each team member faced situations where they had a very reasonable chance of victory rather than random matchups. Not everyone won… that was impossible to guarantee given humanʼs inherent unpredictability in some choices, but enough succeeded to secure overall victory.

The ninth member had defeated the tenth opponent with an accumulated advantage that Ren had built through a carefully planned battle order that maximized team strengths while minimizing individual weaknesses.

It was a textbook example of how leadership and planning could overcome raw power differential when applied correctly.

And Ren had done it without revealing any of his own capabilities.

SECOND ROUND - RORANʼS TEAM

By the following day all broken bonds with beasts had recovered through natural regeneration, students returning to full strength for the next round of elimination.

The second round paired Team Five against Team Twelve in a matchup that made Renʼs expression tighten imperceptibly.

He saw the opposing leaderʼs name and sighed internally with resignation that came from recognizing complications.

Roran... His classmate since first year and part of the trio of perverts, as Ren called them for their recently ʼtoo-transparentʼ interest in girls that made normal conversation increasingly awkward.

The boy with the Giant Troll Dog, another beast Ren had helped evolve during past years through cultivation guidance and combat training. Silver 3 in rank now, higher than any Team Five member except Ren himself.

And Roran wasnʼt just perverted in his social interactions... he was intelligent about combat strategy. Ren knew this because heʼd spent considerable time training with him over the years, explaining elemental control concepts, helping refine techniques that turned raw power into effective combat ability.

In fact, Ren had helped almost everyone in their class during the year through various training sessions and cultivation advice. Some students had even reached Gold 1 through his assistance combined with their own dedication. It was gratifying seeing everyoneʼs progress accelerate beyond normal slow and boring advancement.

But now that progress worked against him in ways heʼd anticipated.

Those same students heʼd helped were now opponents who understood their own capabilities better than they would have without his intervention.

I wasnʼt going to publish today again, I had 1 early but took me long to find a place to write... I was able to make the secon one so here it goes... (I need 2 chapters of 1000 words or it doesnʼt count as a ”published day”)

Also…

you didn’t seem that interested, so this won’t be a serious thing.

No proper “travel diary” as chapters to save my 555 consecutive days writing streak... Cry, orz

Maybe just small comments like this, when it feels right.

Mini Travel Blog, Dagzo in Transit

First stop: Mexico City.

ʼChina is still far away... My ass hurts!ʼ Dagzo thought.

Dagzo wanted to leave an author note here, but a chapter needs to be published for that, and if there’s only one short 1k chapter… it’s not worth sending it. It doesn’t even count as a “working day” (For you do 1500 words or two 1000 words chapters, else no you didnʼt work) So on days without two chapters, this little blog can’t really appear here either, maybe if something interesting is happening Dagzo can say it on discord but not all the readers use it.

That said…

During the trip, Dagzo has been using the downtime well.

When there’s no comfortable way to write on the laptop, he sketches.

He thinks.

He reorganizes.

He’s been reflecting a lot on the themes of the story too... on what has already been developed, and on what still needs more edits to grow.

Ren’s journey starts with a very clear idea:

“Knowledge is power”.
