Francis suddenly flashes toward Jomel at blinding speed. His crazed smile is still on his face like he is being controlled by something.

When the distance is close, he stopped in front of Jomel and then...

Swiiffftt!!

Like a weapon that is honed to extremists, he thrust his arm like a bladed spear!

This is a military martial art in this world, making their body sharp and strong like a human weapon. It was used and tested in combat or war of every passing generation.

He was expecting to hurt the man who occupied his body but...

There was only a single line of cut on his cheek, and just like him who was wearing a crazed smile, the man who occupied his body is also wearing a maniacal smile.

His aura is intense, and his eyes are showing his desire to bathe in blood. When Francis is finished with his attack, he took a step back.

Jomel is not surprised by the sudden attack. ' Who would ever want to give up their body to someone else?' He thought so he is cautious.

If this is a normal time, he wouldn't invade this body, but when he figured out this world, a world where everything is possible, his desire to see his little sister 'Huong' resurfaced.

Even if its minimal chance, if he ever became tamer and visited the earth, he might revive his little sister 'Huong'

Even if the chance is ten percent, one percent. 000.1 percent as long as.

Both combatants have the same drive and the same desire. There is no evil and good in this. They have the same desire to make their foe perish and own this body.

Jomel Ruhong did not let his enemy escape or have any advantage over him. He is a master of close combat.

He used the peek-a-boo style of boxing to evade any attack.

Peek-a-boo style is where the user maintains a low center of gravity whilst using their elbows to block their stomach area and both fists to cover the chin (ultimately only seeing the boxer's eyes--thus the name 'peek-a-boo').

Offensively, it is limited at further distances since the boxer would squarely face the opponent, giving them less rotation for punches such as a right straight.

However, it is an in fighter's stance. It allows the user to cover the majority of the vital spots while giving them the freedom to utilize hooks and uppercuts and maintain a good level of defense.

Jomel's movements are flawless to avoid the enemy attacking from below because a distance from the enemy will put him at a disadvantage.

He is used to boxing. He will let his coach and classmates gang up on him because he enjoyed the pain he is receiving at the same time he gains experience in combat.

He did not know how to fight a beast but with fellow humans! This is one of his expertise, or so he thought.

Francis is not backing down!

He thrust his bladed arm like a bullet, but Jomel thought that he can see through it, and he keeps receiving some of it. Some are strong enough to tear his flesh, but he perseveres.

He moved with haste, side step with grace, smash without a rash, and with sure attacks with full power, every time he evades he was hit on the face.

They are both hurting each other, and Jomel is at a disadvantage, but in this battle, he is trying to find solace.

Ultimately, there was a lucky shot.

Bang!

Francis was smashed by one of Jomel's punches in the chest. He stepped backward.

He was so shocked!

"What?" He exclaimed.

Jomel wanted to go again, to avoid his foe, Francis having an advantage. Army hand-to-hand combat is like that, Jomel knew, so he plans to avoid giving Francis a chance to analyze him.

But…

They both stopped.

Francis knew that there was something on him. " We won't be able to find out who's better, pity I couldn't kill you and take my body back"

"Truer words" Jomel is still cautious, this might be another act to sneak an attack.

"It's a nice fight. I wish we could have more in the future," Jomel smiled with blood flowing from his cheek.

"Ha! Liar!! Anyway my request, please just that 'thing', then you occupy my body" Francis knew that he's going to perish so he said with a confident smile on his face.

His body turning into stone abruptly, as he looks at his arms and said. "So this is what it feels like... ashes... peace.." then slowly, Francis crumbled into dust.

Jomel looked at him with a shocked expression but calmed down as he said, "Why do you think I would do that" but he is thinking on his mind, 'I promise not for you, but for the sake of your sister, After all, I took your body.' After having thought of those, Jomel's injuries disappeared and he woke up.

When he woke up.

A lovely lady in a suit entered. He saw Jomel is sitting comfortably and said "Now that you're all right, follow me."

Jomel found out that Francis previously negotiated a deal with his employers that he would be given soul beasts or the five others would be given soul beasts as long as they survived.

They cannot refuse them their benefits and it serves as an example to those who could put their life on the line in the future.

He is selected because they are ordinary citizens who are committed to the military. Yes, he still doesn't have any soul-beasts on contract- Francis has previously practiced with human weapons, etc.

They make use of it.

And the agreement requires them to tame the two-soul beasts with the help of humanity's troops.

People who are ordinary or beyond the military and want to tame a soul-beast are more likely to fail, which wastes their initiative and time.

And they will use modern technology to tame the soul beast here in this place.

As an example, some restraining equipment, protective gear, and so on.

Jomel accompanied the lady, dressed in a white robe like a nurse.

And a minute later they are in a laboratory.

They find their way further into it.

Jomel was taken aback by the view along the way, where he encountered a slew of unknown soul-beast.

Research facility soul-beasts are currently used for inquiring about directions, and research use or government and private scholastic education, national inquiry about the organization, neighborhood pharmacy firms, and medicinal inquiry about governments.

For the last 20 years, there has been an increase in using research facility soul-beast because of the growth in fundamental and related research such as usual products, nanotechnology, biomedical and sedate advancement, and need to investigate areas.

By government sectors such as the Office of Science and Innovation of Humankind, the Division of Farming of Humankind, and the Humanity National Investigative Committee.

It is also used to gain an edge when fighting soul-beast tamers.

"We've arrived. Only let us know if you've already decided on your beasts." The lovely lady in the suit spoke briefly before absconding.

Every glass cell contained a mysterious beast, according to Jomel.

He was at a loss about what to do.

He's been in a pickle; if he doesn't get a soul-beast soon, they won't aid him with contracting; instead, they'll reward him in other ways.

However, it will not be as amazing as this.

Many of the creatures he met in his previous life are no longer there after skimming all the cells with various and ferocious soul-beasts.

However, he saw a beast, familiar to him.

"Is that?" He exclaimed.

Everything he learned in a former life, but this beast is far larger and seems to be smarter.

He initially thought it was a bear, but the more he looks for similarities, the more persuaded he is that it is not a bear, but... A wolverine-like creature.

A wolverine with silver hair on its body, identical to honey badgers [Not the movie wolverine, but a wolverine animal]

This made him happy because he knew completely what is this.

He had seen a film of a wolverine stalking a caribou in his past life. The deer family's large hoofed animals, caribou, and reindeer are all the same breed.

In a previous life, Jomel believed wolverines were like slow-moving yet defensive honey-badgers.

But when he saw a live-action video of a wolverine killing a caribou even larger than it, his view was turned upside down.

"Is it wolverine or Honey Badger?" Jomel thought to himself.

Wolverines and Honey badgers are pound-for-pound monsters, and very fierce at that, and now they are in the same animal.

"Then, I have no choice..."
