To be honest, after reading the letters, Nameless was quite tempted by the Invincible Secret Art.
Through these letters, Nameless finally gained a basic understanding of this world and a fairly comprehensive understanding of beast tamers as a group.
There were three types of beast tamers: those belonging to a school, family beast tamers, and wild beast tamers.
Generally speaking, joining a school was extremely difficult. Unless one was already a beast tamer, they had to undergo all sorts of tests of willpower—some involving physical pain, others tormenting the soul. Only those who endured them would be admitted into a school, while those who failed often either died or went mad.
Yet despite the danger, countless people still flocked to every school. After all, only by becoming a beast tamer could one gain power, and only with power could one have dignity.
Family beast tamers, on the other hand, generally maintained their ties through blood relations.
Although there were occasional cases of men marrying into a family, under most circumstances, family beast tamers would only help members of their own clan become beast tamers. The chances of outsiders receiving help from a family beast tamer were slim to none.
As for the final type, wild beast tamers were usually lucky people who encountered an injured magical beast or happened to obtain a magical beast egg, then raised the magical beast from a young age and became beast tamers as a result.
Many beast-taming families had ancestors who were such lucky people, gradually developing into beast-taming families afterward.
Such lucky people would often be warmly welcomed if they wanted to join a school or marry into certain families, and the requirements for joining were far, far lower than for ordinary people.
After learning all this, Nameless felt a headache coming on.
