Mindless Beasts

As a wishbone holder, with his spirit beast half missing Sly felt like a fish out of water.

He scanned every classmate and they all had beasts, his anxiety increased, how would they treat him after he released a spirit plant?

At this moment Sly realized he had every right to get revenge and kick Victor into the pond.

Even after stealing Sly’s beast bone Victor was no doubt corrupting it and using its powers to bully others and always take the easy way out.

Thanks to his half brother Sly would always have to work twice as hard to accomplish anything in life.

He was a spirit plant ability user and he would be proud of it even if his classmates mistreat him!

Spiritual power is normally fixed at birth, but it is possible to stimulate it.

Khaldun Wolfe was a prime example, as it was during one of his rampages that he was promoted to the S-tier.

But it’s still a pity, Sly couldn’t help but lament inwardly.

So much potential but a lot of spirit energy is needed for spirit plant evolution.

This was seen during the rookie challenge when Mimosa tipsy from absorbing large amounts of Khaldun’s chaotic energy helped Sly defeat his opponents.

The drawback, Mimosa hibernated for days unable to properly consume all that excess spirit energy.

Mimosa has the potential to be a striking S-tier plant with lovely flowers and strong vines but now it looked puny and mostly resembled a weed.

Thinking Sly didn’t know what to do Cassian tried to help him, "just do it like this, close your eyes, look for your spirit beast and then boom!"

Cassian opened the palm of his hand and there nestled the baby hedgehog disgruntled at being awoken from its slumber in front of spectators it chattered angrily at Cassian.

Then it saw Sly and awed by his beauty the angry hedgehog lost its angry steam and fell silent.

Both found each other irresistible and it was Sly who leaned over because he couldn’t resist poking the overfed hedgehog’s tummy.

It was Cassian’s turn to be surprised and even a teeny weeny bit jealous though he would never admit it.

His baby hedgehog had a fierce temper, preferring to hide as he did not deal too kindly to strangers but one smile from Sly and it became smitten.

Outrageous!

Everyone burst out into laughter when the hedgehog dived from Cassian’s palm onto Sly’s hand.

His pudgy body and tiny feet climbed up Sly until he reached Sly’s shoulders, not in the least bit shy or afraid, was Sly a beast charmer now?

Cassian coaxed, "baby come back."

The hedgehog frowned and ignored its master’s commands, showing Cassian his butt in a show of defiance.

The rest of class was now in uproar, dissolved into fits and giggles because Cassian was thwarted by his spirit beast in public.

Cassian exasperated, his face flushed with red was unsure what to do next this was the first time the baby hedgehog refused his commands.

It was Sly who handed his precious baby back to him, thanking Cassian profusely for teaching something new, now it was time to show everyone what he learned.

Taking a deep breath, Sly finally released Mimosa for the entire class to see.

Silence.

"Come on out Mimosa," commanded Sly.

Was it a weed?

Was it sleeping?

Cassian leaned over and touched the plant; it shivered, then its leaves closed protectively, making his classmates want to take turns touching it to see its reaction.

At first everyone in the class wanted to laugh and tease Sly but then that urge disappeared when they all looked at the satisfaction shining in Sly’s bright sapphire eyes.

Even though being proud of a useless spirit plant was a bit silly in their opinion.

Sly was still cute and lovable and they all wanted to know him better and get along well with their newly appointed group leader.

Whatever, if he’s happy with his weak spirit plant they all thought, then so be it as Sly would be one less competition they would all have to face in the upcoming trials.

As the Guide Learning center officially resumed classes, Sly was pleased to have a gentle teacher as Instructor Emma teaching them about knowledge related to guides.

Since Instructor Emma only had the group from 4th to 8th period and there was so much to learn they could not faithfully stick to a daily schedule.

Still Instructor Emma promised that as long as they did not skip a session they would not fall behind in class.

Instructor Emma’s voice rang out, "for all guides their most important function is to assist sentinels."

"Whether it’s to prevent a rampage or to tweak a Sentinel’s chaotic spirit landscape by performing mental grooming."

"Which leads us to two major topics for today; Methodology of Spirit Energy Cultivation and also Spirit Landscape Conservation: How to manipulate mental tendrils to improve a sentinel’s spiritual landscape."

"Now students, think of your spirit landscape as a home where your spirit forms resides, whether beast or plant."

"It is a unique advanced mental world that those that are limited or lack spirit energy cannot enter or own."

She went over and slapped poor Oscar with a study guide.

Oscar who had been fast asleep and drooling over his notebook when he should be scribbling and writing furiously like the rest of his classmates.

"Ouch," yelped Oscar.

"Oscar your the oldest, this is your last chance," warned Instructor Emma. "I don’t want to have you repeat this class for a fourth time."

After wiping the matter from his eyes and the drool from his mouth corners Oscar sat upright and replied, "sorry Miss Emma."

"Before I move on, I want to make sure that the entire class is on the same wavelength. Any questions, class?" inquired Instructor Emma. "Don’t be afraid to speak out. I won’t bite but Oscar’s snapping turtle might."

More giggles erupted around the classroom.

"Instructor Emma, why do spirit forms seem to have their own personalities and characteristics, just like real animals?" asked Sly out of curiosity.

"Good question Sly, everyone else take notes, this is very important!"
