Two days after the trial, the atmosphere among the students at the dorm was buzzing with excitement and envy.
The reason? The eggs had finally hatched, revealing an array of rare and even unique monsters. Except for Jett, who remained in a state of quiet frustration as his egg stubbornly refused to hatch.
Jett couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. He had been eagerly anticipating the moment when his egg would crack open, but for reasons unknown, its due date had been inexplicably extended.
Watching his peers revel in the unveiling of their new companions only deepened his frustration. It was almost as if fate itself had conspired against him.
As his friends paraded their newfound pets in front of him, the scene felt like a cruel mockery.
Aiden showed off his sleek, magical tiger with an air of smugness, while Freya's radiant Phoenix fluttered about, leaving a trail of warm, healing light. Even Marcella couldn't resist flaunting her Elixir Slime.
Each display was a stab at Jett's already wounded pride, further amplified by their playful taunts and exaggerated boasts.
To Jett's dismay, he wasn't the only one left out. In fact, the lack of pets was a common plight among first-year students, with only a few upperclassmen managing to secure one.
Pets were rare and coveted, their acquisition akin to winning a lottery.
The eggs, much like a gacha system, were shrouded in unpredictability. They came with high costs and even higher expectations.
The rarity and quality of the monsters inside were directly tied to the tier of the egg, with the more expensive ones potentially yielding extraordinary results.
However, this also meant a reduced chance of receiving anything of value. The hunt for these eggs was a blend of fortune and fortune-seeking, requiring both exceptional luck and deep pockets to secure even a single egg.
The mystique surrounding the eggs only added to their allure. No one truly knew how or where these eggs were made.
They appeared randomly in various locations, and only a select few individuals possessed the skill and knowledge to locate them.
Rey received a Master Dragon. This fierce dragon had a heroic aura, second only to primordial dragons. It could breathe two kinds of flame: Pure and Holy flames, offering both might and protective abilities, making it a legendary companion for any challenge.
The newly hatched beasts were all small and endearing, their diminutive size making them irresistibly cute.
Each pet, though still in its infancy, was a source of joy and fascination for their young masters. They flitted, waddled, or scurried close to their sides, forming a heartwarming scene of camaraderie.
Despite their small size, the presence of these creatures had a profound effect on the other students. Many of the upperclassmen, who had previously felt secure in their positions, now looked on with growing apprehension.
The fear of being overshadowed or losing their ranks intensified as they witnessed the extraordinary abilities and potential of these newborn pets. The display of power and uniqueness from such young creatures made their own companions seem almost inadequate by comparison.
Jett sighed deeply as he observed the scene. He knew there was nothing he could do but wait.
He had two more weeks before his egg was expected to hatch.
With the impressive array of creatures already revealed, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of pet he would receive but since he used a dragon scale it was now a matter of what specie he would get, especially given that Rey had acquired such a top-tier species.
However, Jett's thoughts were quickly pulled back to more pressing matters. "Sadly, I've got something important to do. I need to find a way to free Mystra from her chains.
Only on m v|le|mp|yr
Not to mention finding out why I got that message on the system," he murmured, his gaze turning towards Clarence's office.
