"Everyone, go back to your dorms and get ready. Bring your equipment, along with lunch and dinner."
"We'll meet at the school's Secret Realm Transfer Station in one hour."
"Class dismissed!"
Teacher Ning waved a hand, and the students immediately swarmed out through the classroom door.
Their faces were full of anticipation.
It was as though all sorts of powerful summoning beasts were beckoning to them.
Luo Yu smiled knowingly.
No wonder they were so excited. As a ninja's contracted partner, a summoning beast's importance went without saying.
Some exceptionally lucky ninjas even contracted summoning beasts several tiers stronger than themselves.
They got to experience the joy of being carried by a power-leveler.
Of course, summoning beasts that far surpassed their ninja's strength were generally difficult to control.
It was like living off a rich woman while insisting on calling the shots. Without some convincing special talent, it simply wasn't possible.
That was why ninjas usually contracted young summoning beasts that were still growing.
Raised by their ninja from childhood to adulthood, these summoning beasts had bonds with them that ran deep and had stood the test of time.
Some special species of summoning beasts even regarded the ninja who raised them as their mother.
Even if those summoning beasts later grew to a very high level, they would still regard their ninja as their master.
However, the resources and emotional investment required along the way increased in proportion.
Each approach had its own advantages and drawbacks.
Imperial Capital University had a dedicated Summoning Department that taught the skills needed to raise summoning beasts.
Quite a few students in the Summoning Department completely set aside their own talents as ninjas to focus on raising their summoning beasts.
These summoning specialists raised numerous summoning beasts, all of excellent quality and level.
