《Astral Battle Summoner Academy》Present Time
Advertisement
The change in himself was triggered because he wanted to repay this older man for the kindness he showed him. The man could have left him there to die. So instead, he helped this boy to his old building, far from the city but still within its sheltered walls.
That one act of kindness changed him. Growing up as an orphan, he had been abandoned in a kid’s shelter as a baby, which became his home.
The kid’s shelter required him to go to an ordinary trade school. The orphanage kicked him out after he turned 18 to make room for other orphans. The age of 18 is considered an adult, so the orphanage wasn't in charge of sheltering him anymore.
That was just five months ago, and it had been brutal till the man took him in and treated him like a son. Although the older uncle’s place did not make nearly enough essence crystals, which could also be used as one type of currency in the Federation, they still made do with what they had.
The man’s place was a small academy that taught summoners the most suitable techniques. Another way is to help them train their evolutionary beasts to grow stronger for breaking through to the next rank. The summoners’ classes included lectures by the teacher, which in this case was an elderly man. From his lectures, he had helped students crack their bottlenecks in their cultivation with enlightenment.
The Academy had basic training materials and food. However, most of the Academy’s revenue came from the actual training beasts, renting them out, or even selling them in eggs. The payment with crystal from the students was not enough to help with the financials.
Lui Wing took care of the older man after he became sick and watched the academy. Although he couldn’t teach a class by being a teacher, he earned a 1-star trainer badge from the guild to prove he had the skill to train beasts.

Lui Wing wasn't a trainer until later, after working alongside the man. His work was more related to servicing and selling beasts’ food than the actual training. The older man did the training until he got sick, then he stepped up.
After all, the real master trainers could change the potential and rarity of the Evolutionary Beasts’ given pathways as they progress in rank. The master trainers enjoyed similar or even higher positions in a community than Battle Summoners!
Throughout the years, multiple evolutionary routes were discovered and charted out on paper for all the beasts. However, nowadays rarely were there any trainers finding new evolutions. If one did, he would have to be a grandmaster trainer.
But, when Lui Wing needed support from everyone who treated the man as a teacher, they gave up on him because of his sickness, saying there was no hope. The students left the academy when they realized their teacher wouldn't improve.
Then a wealthy student came to the Academy from one of the four prominent families and said he had a cure. Lui Wing spent most of his savings to gain it. Little did he know it didn’t work then, so the older man became even sicker until he passed away two nights ago.
At the present time, he was paying respects to this man’s portrait photo, surrounded by blooming flowers in the room he rented at the funeral house. The original Lui Wing bought tons of alcoholic beverages and died of a heart attack from stress.
Looking up at the older woman, he quickly got up off the floor and bowed apologetically.
“I am sorry. I will take my leave now.” Then, as he was slowly rising, the woman nodded her head. “Hmm, glad you understood, young man.”
Feeling embarrassed, Lui Wing quickly grabbed the man’s portrait and walked out of the building. Walking into the early sunrise, he noticed the streets were sparse with people. The dome protecting the base city gleamed as the sunlight hit it at just the right angle in the wakening sky.

Sighing, Lui Wing hugged the photo and walked in the Academy’s direction he knew so much about. He was a famously well-known CEO and businessman owning multiple stores and properties worldwide. Lui Wing was in the prime of his life in his mid-30s on his old planet. Getting the Academy back into shape was something he could do to help rest the older man’s soul and the previous Lui Wing’s.
In a universe where everything centered on Battle Summoner and Evolutionary Beasts, not everyone could become a Battle Summoner. Only the well-blessed ones at birth could build contracts with evolutionary beasts!
The universe determined that the former “Lui Wing” didn’t have such talent at birth, which meant he was destined to be an average person. People could do other trade skills known and supported by the community, but they weren’t as popular as beast summoners. Famous profession guilds were a group of set people that had a specific practice for talent, like an apothecary, beast hunting, blacksmith, master teacher association, array masters, enchanters, calligraphy masters, cooking masters, building masters, architect master, and trainers.
Along the way to the Academy, Lui Wing saw high futuristic buildings and large mansions, just like on Earth, but with more technology surrounding them. The only thing different was the Evolutionary beasts of all sizes were walking alongside most of the pedestrians. The roads outlined in bright neon light stood out amongst the barely lit sky.
“I am indeed in another universe….” Lui Wing exclaimed, looking up at the two moons in the purplish night sky. Everything was like a technical, Sci-fi fantasy world, but it was as natural as he was.
Soon, he arrived.
The academy was at the end of a business street, in a relatively remote location, but it used to be pretty popular. The older man was an official Evolutionary Beast trainer of the Galactic Federation.
While the older man had only enough talent to be an elementary trainer, he was more than capable of opening up a small training academy like this. But things turned from bad to worse when the older man passed away. Although the original Lui Wing took over the academy, he was not as good.
Nuzzled in a small forest grove next to a pond, the three-story building showed itself. It seemed the storefront was on its last foundation; nature had not been well-groomed in a long time.

[On Hiatus due to health reasons] Synopsis: Fate has plans for everyone. There are many paths one can walk and many nodes one can unlock. Yet all mortal souls only start with one node. This has been the case for many years and while there are some records of people with more than one first node, these are as rare as wings on snails, roses made of air, or ropes made of dragon-hair. Elise Anker has two first nodes. She doesn't know why and the only one that could answer is an angry voice in her head. She hears it rarely and the voice is as helpful as a sword is effective against a Leviathan. She strives to become a mage, a knight or maybe something else entirely. The future is uncertain and unless she finds out what her nodes mean, she will never know what she wants to become. But her nodes won't unlock and the angry voice tells her that she needs to find a worthy foe to kill. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I am also not a professional author. This is simply a rough draft and therefore subject to change. Furthermore, this fiction is rather slow-paced for a rather long time. But compare it to a bundle of dynamite, you wouldn't want that to explode right in someone's face, would you?
