About Making The Low-Tier Tamer Profession Top-Tier Using My Previous Life's Knowledge Chapter 5

Hey everyone, Havion here. Sorry for the delay, translator fell sick, so I took over the translations a little. Some parts may be revised later on once the translator gets better but hopefully I did a decent enough job.

In other news, I made an “” page LOL

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
—————————————————————————————————————

While the trainees split up after receiving instructions from the lecturer, I took the Nimbus Cloud out using storage magic and rode it.

As one would expect, if the children were to see the Nimbus Cloud, they'd go [Ahhh, that's unfair~] or [I want to ride on it too~!] and things would get troublesome. However, now that they have disappeared from view, I no longer have a reason to go around on foot.

Next, I raised my alt.i.tude in one go, with the thought of surveying the entire forest. I may be able to target areas where excellent monsters are likely to reside in based on the topography after all.

Once my alt.i.tude was raised, I looked over the entire forest.

Thereupon…let alone target, I decided my destination with the conviction of it being [the only possible place] 

It's a gigantic tree to the point where it stands out even if one just gave a glance at the surroundings from the sky — in other words, a Millenium Tree has grown in that area.

A Millenium Tree is where the likelihood of monsters — who are able to rapidly increase their battle prowess as well as hasten their awakening — residing is unusually high. 

As such, Millenium Trees are known as a [Tamer's Treasury] since time immemorial.

In my past life, due to the fierce overhunting of monsters by the Tamers, there were not many chances where one is able to approach the Millenium Tree during the timing where good-quality monsters are around……since the Tamers around here are in such a state, the chances of there being a good-quality monster should be pretty high.

Let's head there immediately.

I approached the Millenium Tree in a straight line through the air and activated a detection spell.

……There's one.

I have ascertained that there is one monster of the type I am looking for that has made its home there.

I took the Ruyi Staff out from the storage magic.

This is in no way the same mistake the lecturer made. In order for me to obtain the monster living in the Millenium Tree, I must first get the monster out from the Millenium Tree.

The me from my previous life could grab ahold of the Millenium Tree with both hands, give it a good shake and everything will work out but with my current body strength that would be impossible.

That is why I will be relying on the Ruyi Staff. 

Although if I stabbed the Millenium Tree using the Ruyi Staff at full strength, it would break at the roots and that would be extremely wasteful.

I will need to devise a method to shake it.

I used a.n.a.lysis magic in order to obtain data regarding the Millenium Tree's ma.s.s and shape while writing mathematical formulas on the ground with a branch. 

[……All right, I've understood its period.] (Varius)

I muttered after crunching the numbers and took a stance with the Ruyi Staff.

I then proceeded to extend and shrink the Ruyi Staff repeatedly at a set speed, stabbing the Millenium Tree at a set frequency.

As I did that…the Millenium Tree which initially just vibrated lightly gradually began shaking, and eventually started greatly swaying. 

What I just used was the physical phenomenon known as resonance.[1]

Every physical object has something called a [Natural Frequency] based on their ma.s.s and shape, and it is possible to create a large oscillation in that object by applying strength in tandem with that frequency.

In order to apply power to the tree multiple times, I changed the point of impact of every hit by a little bit every time so that any single point of the tree do not suffer from any great damage.

Without a doubt, this is the method of gently shaking the Millenium Tree.

A short while later, a bug which body length is at least 1.5 meters fell down, revealing its appearance.
It's a Caucasus beetle.[2]

Nicknamed the [Beetle Deva] due to its ferocious battle prowess, this monster is definitely the strongest beetle-type monster.

As expected, it's pre-awakened form isn't as strong as a chouhakai…but if that lecturer fought against a Caucasus, he would probably be killed in an instant without being able to retaliate.

[Oh rude one, to awaken me from my slumber…] (Caucasus)

Caucasus beetles' intelligence are high as well.

That is the reason why even before becoming a tamed monster, they are able to communicate telepathically.

[Ah, I do feel bad about that. However…this time, I came with the intention of presenting you with something good that would more than make up for it. Would you not accept it first?] (Varius)

[……? Well, all right then. However, if it is not a great as you say it is…I will kill you.] (Caucasus)

As we have reached an understanding, I took the Beast Chips out from the storage magic, and gave it to the Caucasus beetle.

After I did so——

[……What a delicious thing this is! Oi, human, this thing, do you have any more of it?] (Caucasus)

[……If I give it to you, could you not kill me?] (Varius)

[Certainly, there is no way that I would kill the one who gave me such a delicacy. If you desire it, I would not mind being your tamed monster as long as you give it to me periodically.] (Caucasus)

…Whoa there. 

I obtained his pledge all of a sudden.

Well whatever, this definitely isn't because the Caucasus is a pushover. It's just a matter of the Beast Chips being so delicious to the point of overwriting a monster's base instincts

[Then in addition to that, I shall give these to you as well.] (Varius)

I took even more Beast Chips out from the storage magic.

My stock of Beast Chips kept in the storage magic is limited so this does hurt my expenses but since it's something that is necessary during the establishment of the Monster Contract, it can't be helped.

[Hou, to receive this many. ……U~mu, it is indeed delicious.] (Caucasus)

Caucasus is happily stuffing its mouth with Beast Chips.

The additional Beast Chips I took out were eaten in a blink of an eye.

[……Just now, you said that you would be my tamed monster if I continued to provide this, didn't you?] (Varius)

I went straight to the main topic.

[……Yeah] (Caucasus)

[Honestly, regarding what you just ate — the Beast Chips — I do not have that much stocked up. That is why, I am only able to give this to you once a month. Normally, I would have you eat a jelly that has a similar flavour…is what I have in mind. Even so, are you okay with that?] (Varius)

 [It cannot be helped if you do not have much in stock. Umu, I shall agree to your conditions.] (Caucasus)

Hearing Caucasus' reply, I felt relieved.

Unlike Beast Chips, Beast Jelly is comparatively easier to make.

Determining whether it would accept the offer or not would greatly affect the burden of procuring baits in the future.

[Then, I'll cast the Contract Magic.] (Varius)

I announced as such telepathically, and activated the Monster Contract magic.

[Please take care of me from now on.] (Varius)

[Likewise.] (Caucasus)

……To think that I would meet such an ideal monster to be made into a tamed monster so fast.

My heart danced with so much joy at such a meeting that, all the discontent from that training course's awful content has been completely written off.

Well then, time to return to the meeting place.

**********************************************************************************************

[W…Wh…Wha…What manner of being have you brought back?!] (Lecturer)

Once I got back to the meeting place, the lecturer suddenly pointed over here, and screamed as such as he fell on his backside.

[Ooooh, I dun really get it but ya' sure brought back some amazingly cool fella!] (Child 1)

[Those horns are seriously cool!] (Child 2)

[With something like that in your possession, forget fighting, just its glare alone would be enough…] (Child 3)

[How impressive…I'm starting to get excited!] (Child 4)

The children who do not really know about Caucasus were saying such things amongst themselves with sparkles in their eyes.

Well for sure, Caucasus definitely look amazing visually speaking.

[Th…That legendary beetle was tamed? Am I seeing a…night…mare…] (Lecturer)

[[[[Teacher~!]]]] (Children)

…… Are you serious?

To think that the lecturer was so shocked by Caucasus' appearance that he lost consciousness.

Now that is has come to this, it is definitely not the time to be teaching them the proper way to tame a monster. 

For now, I'll consider it a win that I was able to find out about the current disastrous state of the Tamers' education, and properly think about a way to improve it.
