"What a pleasant surprise! 

How have you been, Isabel? 

Are you prepared to join the Vesta Family?" 

"!!!" 

Vaan questioned out loud and all the students in class widened their eyes in surprise. 

This was extremely big. 

What did he mean by Lady Isabel joining the Vesta Family? 

Isabel, a commoner who has been rejecting countless families offering her to join them, was choosing the Vesta Family!? 

What? 

How is that possible? 

How did the Vestas pull it off!? 

They don't even have anything to offer to her! Isabel was a Swordswoman, the Vestas on the other hand, was a Magic Family. Isabel would be completely singled out if she joined them, heck, she wouldn't even be able to find a decent sparring partner to test her skills against. 

Why would she possibly choose the Vestas!? 

All these questions started popping up in the students' minds. 

It was not just them, even Isabel was surprised by Vaan's sudden action. 

"W-What are you talking about?" She questioned. This time, her emotionless voice stuttered, showing her surprise. 

"Hmm? Do you not want my father to be your Sword Teacher?" Vaan questioned. 

"Of course!" Isabel nodded without even thinking. 

"Father is part of the Vesta Family, do you really believe that he will teach you unless you join the Vesta Family?" 

"B-But his Skills do not belong to the Vesta Family!" Isabel countered. 

It was true. 

Orion's skills had nothing to do with the Vestas, the Magic Family had no control over who he could teach and who he could not. This was the reason why Orion accepted Isabel without bringing up this topic in the first place. 

Vaan, however, had a different plan in his mind, 

Isabel nodded, smiling at Elara as well. 

Soon, her three 'followers' walked towards her as well. She excused herself and walked away with them. 

Vaan and Elara, on the other hand, decided to attend the next class. 

The Class Vaan was most excited about. 

Familiar Training. 

Vaan could tell that there were still a few students who were keeping an eye on them, he however, didn't care and quickly took Elara to the next class. 

He didn't even bother opening the new Articles published on the SIC. 

He would read all of them in the evening and then would release one of his own. 

Not that he had to care about that right now. The class is more important. 

Unlike other classes, there was no particular Building designated to the Familiar Training class, this class was taken in the open, and just like Leadership and Personality Development. 

This class wasn't unique just for the Students of Magic Division. 

After all, taming Magic Beasts didn't require Magic, but Blood and Instant Spells.

Vaan and Elara soon arrived at an open area and considering how so many students were already here, they didn't need any confirmation to know that this was indeed the correct place. 

The Professor standing in the front was Professor Callista. She was a woman in her late 40s, with slight wrinkles on her face. The Professor seemed to have maintained herself quite well, her body was well proportionate and she had a slight makeup on. It was clear that back in her days, she was a well-known beauty. 

Once all the students were here, the Professor started with the introductions, 

"Good morning, students. I am Professor Callista Thornecrest, and I am delighted to welcome you to the Familiar Taming class. It is my great honor to guide you through the intricate and fascinating art of bonding with and understanding magical creatures. 

Throughout this course, we will explore the depths of our connection with these wondrous beings, and I am confident that together we will uncover the secrets of harmonious coexistence with the magical fauna that surrounds us. 

I look forward to our journey together and the discoveries that await us. Let's embark on this adventure of knowledge and wonder." 

Her words grabbed the attention of all the students, this time, even Vaan seemed to be paying attention in the class since this was the subject he was interested in. 

Professor Callista continued, 

"Now, there are two ways in which you can Tame a Magic Beast, 

First, the easier one, raising it. It is said that the majority of Magic Beast treats the first person they see after being born as their parent and sticks close to them, if you treat them well from that position, it wouldn't take long for the Beast to take your Blood and form a connection with you. Once that's done, both you and the Beast would grow stronger together and as you two strengthen your bond, you could even reach the point where the Beast would willingly give his life for you.

The Second way, however, is a little more complex, taming a fully grown Magic Beast. There are too many factors that can come into play here, whether the Magic Beast has a parent or not, what scenario have you met the Beast in, whether you forcing it, or are you simply trying to help it, and many more.

There is one general rule that holds true most of the time, the older the Magic Beast, the difficult it is to make it form a Blood Connection and tame it, however, if you do magic form a Connection with an Older Beast, the rate at which your Bond will grow would be much faster than raising it from childhood. 

Not to mention you would also be able to put the Magic Beast to use without having to wait.

Anyways, today we will only be discussing the type of Magic Beasts there are…" 

The lecture continued and the more Vaan heard, the more he understood that Familiar Training might not be as easy as he thought it was...
