Tyler laid in bed for what felt like forever, unable to sleep. Kass was spooning Amanda with both of their arms on his chest and Sophie was snuggled up on his other shoulder. He didn’t want to bother his familiars because they were out leveling up for the placement match in the Land of Summoned Monsters so he went over his dilemma in his head.

’I can’t fucking lose. I won’t fucking lose.’

Once he finally had that mindset he was finally able to get some sleep. When he woke up, the girls were all up and getting ready and he felt like a train hit him. It was the first morning he woke up and felt so empty.

’Where are my familiars?’ He thought with a frown.

Tyler didn’t have to wait long before they finally returned inside his chest.

"Sorry bud. We got a little carried away but there’s no chance you lose today, we got your back!" Ash said, albeit pretty exhausted.

"Where’s Shadow and Viv?"

"They’re sleeping. I want some Fish and then I’m going to catch a nap but don’t stress. She’s going to come out to play today if you know what I mean?"

"Thank God. That makes me feel so much better thank you all so much. I didn’t even ask and you all just went."

"Well the last thing I need is a depressed-ass host so where’s my fish!" Ash laughed.

Tyler gathered the ladies after they got ready for their classes and made their way to the cafeteria. They found out Adam’s new lady friend’s name was Cecelia, she just preferred to go by CeCe. Paul and Zack were talking and Katy and Zain were finally holding hands.

"Aw, how cute." Sophie teased.

"More like, about damn time!" Tyler laughed. "Good for you two, though, seriously."

"Thanks," Katy said with a smile as Zain kissed her cheek.

"This party is crazy," Paul laughed. "I feel like a loner."

"Nah man don’t," Zack laughed. "Plenty of women, or men, around here if you know where to look."

"Women, but thanks." Paul smiled.

"Don’t listen to anything he says," Adam laughed.

"And you’re some expert?" CeCe said with a playful nudge.

"Nope." Adam smiled.

This was the type of morning Tyler needed. It relaxed him and got his mind off all the stuff that he was going to have to deal with throughout the day. He wished he had some way of fast forwarding time to get everything over with. Ash ate 10 salmon, which made everyone laugh and afterwards Sophie walked with him while he took Ash outside before his first period.

"So are you going to tell me what’s bothering you or are you going to hide it from us?" She frowned.

Tyler hugged her. "I think whatever Professor sent me to the Realm of Eidolons is messing with me again. I got a nasty message I don’t want to talk about at the end of my placement notification."

She squeezed him tightly. "Talk to me."

"It said if I don’t win I have to break up with one of you and I don’t plan on doing that so don’t worry. What’s the worst he can do? Send me back to the Realm?" He smiled with confidence.

"Tyler...I’ll just le–"

"No." He said before kissing her. "You’re not going anywhere and neither are the other two. Just help me get through today."

"Ok. You should talk to Master Sanju. He was worried it was a Professor too. We all are Tyler, use your head. Who do you think it could be?"

"No clue. Probably whoever sent those third years to jump me when I got here. It is what it is."

"Well next week is our last week of classes for the first Quarter. We’ll get our grades and stuff and then we get a week off. Hopefully you’ll be more relaxed by then." She said with another kiss.

"I’m sure I will be... once today is over, everything will be fine." He said as they held hands and walked to their first class.

The day went quicker than he expected, thanks in part to Kass, Amanda and Sophie. They kept him loose and promised if they had to do something shady to make sure he’d win, they would after Tyler explained his problem. He laughed because he realized they couldn’t even if they wanted to. It bummed them out they wouldn’t even be able to watch the match. It was right after his sixth period.

******

"Alright bro, you got this." Adam said while rubbing Tyler’s shoulders, which made him laugh.

Professor Davis, his second period teacher, lazily made his way to their sixth period right at 3:30 and Tyler failed to realize his opponent was standing three students down from him.

"Holy shit this should be super easy. Vivian, I don’t think I want to even reveal you yet. Let’s save my ace up my sleeve for another day."

"Good call. Isn’t he just a regular tamer with two beasts?" Ash laughed. "And you were worried all day for nothing!"

"Let me tear this asshole to shreds. He’s the one who talks shit about wolves all the time." Shadow snarled.

Tyler released Shadow and Ash while noticing his ladies were literally sprinting to the fight.

"GOOD LUCK TYLER! YOU BETTER WIN FOR US!" Amanda, of all people, screamed.

"3-2-1-FIGHT." The Professor yawned.

Tyler noticed hawks flying his way which literally made him laugh.

’I hate that I love you system.’

[I cannot control which quests are given when. Your third placement match should have been significantly more difficult.]

Shadow was already on the attack and she chomped down on the hawks that surrounded Tyler.

"Just go finish this poor lad." Ash chuckled. "More food for us! Yay team!"

Everyone from the class watched Tyler form his wings and fly high into the sky while shooting fireballs with pinpoint precision from his staff at each hawk that flew toward Shadow.

"Where did that staff come from?!" Professor Smith yelled in amazement.

"Woah! He’s protecting his familiar!" A student shouted.

"I thought they were just tools of power, Professor?" Someone else screamed.

"I never said that!" She tried to recover. "I said they can be used as tools of power if mishandled."

Amanda, Kass and Sophie held hands while smiling. They were relieved. Tyler was now the one toying with his prey.

"Remind you of anyone?" Kass giggled.

"Just a little," Amanda teased while squeezing Sophie’s hand.

"Sometimes it’s ok to let loose and show off. Look at how much fun he’s having!"

Shadow eventually bit into the leg of the student and Professor Smith had to yell at Mr. Davis to call the match.

"Oh, sorry, match Tyler. I thought I already called it." He yawned. He entered everything into the tablet rather quickly, which surprised everyone.

Tyler healed his opponent’s leg and helped him up. "Good match."

"Yeah, whatever. I was on a 3 match win streak too. What a joke, I drew the phoenix kid." He said coldly.

Tyler was tackled with love by his beautiful ladies.

[Ping! Congratulations. You have completed your quest. You are now level 30. One stat point awarded at level 28 and one at 29. One stat point awarded in each category at level 30. 0/3100 Experience.]

’Put the two into strength.’

Tyler smiled and enjoyed all the attention while Adam laughed. "Good job bro! I’m proud of you."

"Thanks man! We’ll catch up soon. I heard in two weeks we get an entire week off!"

"Yup, looking forward to it. Are you going to finish off your placements or what’s up?"

"I think my girlfriends deserve some of my attention." He smiled. "What would you three say to dinner in the city?"

"Yes please!" They all said cheerfully.

"Then it looks like we have a date tonight. Go get ready!"

The went off to get ready and Tyler returned to his apartment.

"Thank you all very much for all you do. It means a lot that you were willing to train so hard for me."

"Of course. I couldn’t bear to see you lose one of those beautiful women," Vivian said. Tyler could feel her hug from inside of him. He could feel all of their warmth and love.

"Better look good!" Ash chirped playfully.

"Yeah, I have a plan!" Tyler smirked.
