Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 153 People of the Right Age
In Raven City, the central square was bustling with people.

The citizens living in this territory huddled together, looking up at Arief ahead.

"I wonder what brings Lord Elif here all of a sudden?"

"Is war about to begin?"

"No, that's impossible?!"

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Elif's gaze swept over them. He coughed a few times, and the previously bustling civilians below immediately fell silent, their eyes turning to Elif.

"Everyone, I have gathered you here today on the orders of His Highness Raven."

"His Highness Raven is preparing to establish the Trainers Association—what is a trainer? A trainer is someone who trains magical beasts and lives with them; in other words, a beast rider as you all know."

"Reven City is currently in dire need of rebuilding and is in dire need of manpower. Your Highness intends to use this association to train trainers, solely to protect the territory and guide newly arrived monsters to better integrate into our lives."

These words immediately caused a huge uproar among the crowd.

"My God! A Beast Tamer?!" Those are people who can control magical beasts; no matter where they are, they are extremely prestigious!

"Can I also become a Beastmaster?"

"That sounds so cool! If I could become a Beast Tamer, no, a Trainer, I could ride a flying Beast into the sky, right?!"

Some people looked hopeful.

After a year of development, Warcraft has long been integrated into human life in Raven City.

Many people have long since lost their initial fear of these creatures and are instead filled with immense curiosity about the magical powers they possess.

After the initial shock, the citizens gradually calmed down.

His Highness Raven wants to establish such a department. To join, there must be quite a few conditions, right?

Thinking of this, the man standing at the very front couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Elif, how can we join the Trainer Association?!"

Elif smiled and said, "His Highness said that to become a trainer, one can do so regardless of background or class. Anyone who is interested in magical beasts, likes them, can welcome them, and takes good care of them can become a trainer."

"This is a royal organization under His Highness Raven. After joining, His Highness Raven will personally teach you how to train magical beasts, and will also provide you with initial magical beasts for you to choose from."

"If you need help dealing with incidents caused by monsters on a regular basis, trainers can receive a generous bonus from the association on the 15th of each month to support themselves and raise their monsters."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Is there such a good thing? !
However, Eriff then changed the subject.

"However, if anyone is found to have intentionally harmed magical beasts, or to be a cheat or swindler, the association will punish them severely."

"From now on, any child aged between ten and fifteen can go to the city hall to register."

"Only children aged ten to fifteen can become trainers?" Some civilians who did not meet the requirements were somewhat bewildered: "Why can't we adults become trainers?"

They really like Warcraft, okay?!

“Of course not.” Elif shook his head: “Prince Raven has his own purpose, but you don’t need to worry. This is just a trial. When the association matures in the future, it can become a method for trainers and be passed on to you. At that time, everyone can become a trainer.”

Upon hearing this, the common people immediately felt relieved.

Some intelligent people could even vaguely sense the meaning behind Prince Raven's actions.

Upon returning home, they immediately took their children to the city hall.

The following morning, inside the city hall. Raven looked at the group of children before him, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, and mentally counted their numbers.

There were roughly forty people, including both men and women.

When Raven approached, the children, who had little experience of the world, immediately showed nervous expressions.

But some children still mustered up the courage to bow and call out, "Your Highness!"

Seeing this, the other children, who were somewhat reserved, also followed suit and bowed.

Raven nodded gently: "Don't be nervous, everyone, welcome to the world of Warcraft."

As soon as he finished speaking, Raven took out a Poké Ball made of a Berry from his pocket.

With a flash of white light, the figure of Dragonite appeared.

Its round shape, cute face, soft belly, clear eyes, and powerful dragon aura immediately attracted the attention of the children.

"Wow!" they all exclaimed in surprise.

Raven smiled slightly and continued, "These are the creatures we call 'monsters.' They live in this world just like humans."

"Whether it's the sea, the sky, the forest, or the grassland, you can see them everywhere."

"Perhaps in the past, humans and magical beasts were irreconcilable enemies, but now... humans and magical beasts play together, help each other, and have become good partners."

"In life, they work together with us... but sometimes, we fight alongside monsters."

"Those who raise magical beasts, command them to fight, and spar with each other are called magical beast trainers."

"So cool!"

Most of the children who came here had already witnessed how humans used the power of magical beasts to live and fight, so when they heard these words, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Everyone, do you also want to become a trainer, live and fight alongside monsters, and become the strongest partner?" Raven asked loudly.

"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison.

“Very well, then come find me at the breeding house outside the territory!” Raven turned around, went outside, and rode his Dragonite into the sky.

Seeing the children standing there in a daze, Elif chuckled and reminded them:

"His Highness has prepared initial monster companions for you. Go to the breeding house and find His Highness on your own! This is the first test His Highness has given you."

test?!
Upon hearing this, a strong fighting spirit immediately ignited in the eyes of the children.

They must pass the test and live up to His Highness's expectations!
Thinking of this, a group of children immediately ran out of the city hall. They had always lived in the city, and the nursery had only been built recently, so they did not know its exact location.

But there are always more solutions than problems.

Some clever children immediately thought of asking the adults for directions!
*
There is a short distance between Raven City and the breeding center, but most of the creatures that live along the way are gentle, timid Grass-type Pokémon, such as Buddleja, Froakie, and Dove.

They are not aggressive, and the children will not be in danger.

Even if there is danger, they have nothing to worry about.

Raven had already ordered Dragonite and Serperior to secretly guard that country road to ensure the children's safety.

Raven, on the other hand, went to the breeding house alone.

He looked at the Pokémon before him, including Tepig, Clefairy, Psyduck, Brill, and Sentinel, whose faces were also full of anticipation, and said to them with a smile:
"Don't worry, the children will be here soon."
