Mr. McDowell had now acquired a large box that was wrapped up with butcher block paper. The huge thing was chained to a pull cart. The thing was so big Kaden figured it would take up all of his own storage s.p.a.ce. He figures Mr. McDowell being a teacher could probably not afford a decent size storage treasure. Large storage treasure like the one his Gigi had gifted him was very rare. As the only offspring of an old n.o.ble family Kaden by default got the best the family could afford. Hinata and Jessicas warning about the problems his treasure could cause help Kaden to appreciate his family even more.

"Ah, good everybody is promptly back. Show of hands who has a beast eggs? Mr. McDowell asked. " Good, good, glad everybody accomplished their missions. Now then everybody come grab a card. As all the eggs in the bazaar are random. We will learn to use capture cards on these unborn beasts. So now who among you can answer me this. What are capture cards exactly? anyone?" he asked hoping to get a couple of hands to raise.

Kaden was unsure what a capture card did exactly. His could infer like the rest of the cla.s.s that it was used to capture beast. But how to use it and the rest of its abilities was lost to him. Unfortunately, this cla.s.s did not use any books for reference. Looking at Mr. McDowell and most would know why. He was defiantly not your average by the book teacher.

"Miss Han if you be so kind as to answer" Mr. McDowell called out to one of the kids with their hands raised.

Han Yunana was the bright looking girl who seemed too young to be part of the cla.s.s. Her hair was done up like a famous female martial artist in a game Kaden like to play. He could also almost picture the girl dress up in the same battle outfit. Shaking the dumb thought from his head Kaden gave her his full attention.

"Sir, the capture card is a tool used as its name implies to capture wild creature. It also acts as a storage device. This way a summoner can save a s.p.a.ce in their Gilmore. It helps to not waste a page on a creature that might not be compatible with us. When the card is used to house a creature then it becomes a summoner card. Any trained summoner can use that card to summon the creature inside it" Yunana said in one go.

Kaden was surprised she could say all that in one breath. He was afraid the poor girl was going pa.s.s out form the lack of oxygen. Some of the boys in the cla.s.s even clap for her as she finishes her answer.

" Well said, excellently done. Though I might add just a bit to the end of that." Mr. McDowell said as he also claps. "The biggest downfall of summoning card is they do not help you with gaining the trust of the summon creature." He pauses to make sure his kids were keeping up.

"That is where beast eggs come in to fill the gap. As a newborn beast can bond easier than one already grown up." Mr. McDowell finished and took out a card and beast egg of its own. "Using the card is very simple. Fouse your mind on the card and the egg, then touch the two together like this." He did as he said and a quick sliver light flashed and his egg disappeared.

"This can be done with any fully grown beast as well but you have to befriend them or knock them out first. An unfriendly beast summoned could be a nightmare to the summoner so never summon with someone else cards unless you are freeing the beast back to the wilds. Then with extreme care." Mr. McDowell warned.

"To summon them is a lot simpler than a contract within the grimoire but the tradeoff is card creature cannot grow stronger with use. Until they are bound to a grimoire they will never improve." He explained as he flips the card over to see the creature details. "Basic information along with the name and picture of the creature is shown on the face of the card. The back of the card is a reflection of the caster grimoire." Mr. McDowell said as he pasted his card around for the cla.s.s to see.

"As you all can see this card show the name 'Rock Viper' a bronze ranked creature. The bronze star in the upper right corner is its rank. The three circles on the lower right shows the creature current potential. The blue is its attack, green its defense and red its power. The numbers range is from zero to nine and there total determines a beast rank." He continued.

"As you can see this snake total points is a 5. It's at the bottom of the bronze rank. It also only has one skill 'Acid Spit'. Able to throw a ball of acid from its mouth. As its power is only one the snake can only us that skill once before it needs to rest." Mr. McDowell finishes his introduction.

Soon the card he pa.s.sed out had returned to his hand. " Just like how I explained how to capture the beast to summon it's much the same except." he paused to survey his cla.s.s before moving on. "You must call out the best name. Like so 'Rock Viper'. Mr. McDowell said in a commanding voice.

In a flash, there was now a small snake on the ground in front of him. It had gray rock-like scales covering its body and it seems to be afraid of being in front of a crowd as it quickly shot back and wrap its little body around Mr. McDowell's ankle.

" As you can see it's still an infant and need time to grow up but that might not be the case for the rest of you. There are many creatures out there that will be fully grown after hatching." He stated "Now that you saw how, give it a try with your eggs," He said with a smile.

As soon as Mr. McDowell was done with his example the kid jump to trying their own hand at it. Kaden was no exception and as soon as his card touched the egg it lite up the area with a golden hue. Hinata was the second to succeed and her light flash with a light purple-silver color. Soon after a bronze light flash shows a third kid had completed the task.

As the other tried to complete their captures Kaden spent the time to look over his card. The once blank index card now looks like a playing card. The back of the card was jet black with little twinkling stars of all colors on it. The border of it had a golden trim giving the card an elegant feel to it. In the center of the card was a big bright golden star. All in all, it looks like the back of a high-end poker deck.

Compare his card which he had yet to flip over to Hinata he was surprised at how different the two cards. The back of her card was snow white with swirls of blue on it. Lacking any trim at all the card looked homely almost.

"Hinata, let's flip out card together," Kaden suggested. He was a little bit more than just excited. He felt Christmas had come early and he was really loving his first day of school.

"Hmm, " Hinata said as she put her finger to her mouth in a thinking pose. "Sure, that would be ok with me Kaden," she said with a grin.

"Cool so on three. One, Two, Three." Kaden said as he flipped his card over. Hinata as she agreed to also do so on the word three.

(Kid geniuses are still kids in the end it seems.) Mr. McDowell thought to himself as he watched the two elites of the cla.s.s antics.

The design on the face of Kaden card left him confused at its use. At the top left corner of the card was the things name. On the right corner of the card was a silver sprocket with a gold star in the center of it. A picture of a humanoid thing took up most of the top half of the card and on the lower right corner was three circles. A blue with the number two int it, a green with the number 5 in it and last a red with the number 9 on it. Below that was some more text that described the beast within along with the creature's skills.

Kaden should be overjoyed by capturing a gold ranked beast. But all the joy he might had had for the thing was taken away by the description and skills it listed. First the things name, yes the thing was not a living creature but a machine. Its name read Clockwork Bulter and its description was 'A dutiful servant who willingly works tirelessly and endlessly.'. What the h.e.l.l did he just get Kaden thought to himself. The skill was just as weird as the picture of the butler.

The thing surprisingly had three skills. The first and the one that had the highest rating was called 'Super Cleaner' and had six stars next to it. it read 'Leaves no dust behind'. The second Skill was called 'Super Dence Alloy' under it read 'Built to last and take a beating.'. The skill had a three-star rating. Finally, the last skill was called 'Logical Mind' and it was a two star and under it read 'Process information like a supercomputer.'.

Going back to the picture the mechanical man thing was holding a towel draped over one arm and a dusting brush in his other hand. He or it was standing in a triumphant victory pose. Kaden could only hope that they did not have to share with others what they got. He would be too embarra.s.sed to do that. Hinata on the other hand really wanted to share her card with a certain boy.
