Slime Tamer's Chronicles
Page 7
Still when I turned with a smile to the other slimes they slightly trembled but I continued on and happily got 2 of each magic type of slime and fed it to my mimics. With each one the nucleus grew and they got smarter.
Hehe I can’t wait to get to school. For the next three years I will make sure I am in no way inferior to a normal kid. Even if I have to suffer with that crazy amazon. I also want to make some trusty companions out of these two slimes. If I become an adventure I don’t want to join some random party filled with trash. I will go with them to have fun and make the most of my second life.
Chapter 6 Academy Life Begins
It's been three long years since I was first brought to this world. The first thing I must say is that I know which game this is now. The name of the game in the real world is called Grand Nexus Online.
The name came from the fact that everything in the world is connected which is what Nexus means. One action causes a series of side effects. It's quite true actually.
After I discovered the mimic slime rank up they have spread and become a city wide pet for both adventurers and citizens.
Gel slimes are much less used but with the elemental variants it caused a downfall in mage students who dedicate time to the class since having a slime will resolve that.
There doesn’t seem to be a change in armor or weapons since the slimes still need to eat them to gain the form so it didn’t affect them also the more of one kind of sword they eat the better they can upgrade that form.
Now to skip all the jabbering, I bet you are wondering what has happened to me and my family.
First off I am finally eight years old. The first year we checked every day my ID until we found out my birthday. It was a different date them when I woke up. My birthday was on September 7th.
From then on we always celebrated. Just so you know I appeared here on December and because this country is located on a continent on the southern hemisphere of the planet we have summer in December. Unlike in my original world where I lived in the northern hemisphere, with the seasons switched summer break happens at the end of the year. Because of that I will be starting school only in February and end in November.
The academy is an entire town dedicated to the school. It is considered a neutral country of its own and is located at the center of the continent were all five Great nations on this continent, which is called Othenia, connects.
Besides this continent there is the Mu continent and 2 other continent of any large mass and a couple thousand islands scattered along the ocean and surprisingly in the sky.
Yep sky islands exist. Not like I will see any of them any time soon. The school life goes all the way to my 14th year and the last year I get freedom to explore more. That was what Megumi was doing when I met her. Normal kids can’t go past the grasslands but once you reach 15 you can go into the forest.
At this moment Megumi is already 18 and has left to adventure the continent. She is a registered adventurer now and her rank was instantly raised to D rank because of her grades in school. One thing I am excited for is that the school has a ranking tournament for new kids. From there the students are tested and choose the basic class they want. It’s like me who wants both Tamer, mage and monk.
These three classes will make me do three types of tests and class tournament to see how advanced I am in this.
Now then what you all have been waiting for. My stats, Yep I have trained hard these last years and that damn amazon made sure I was definitely at least up to normal kid standards.

Sigh. I'm completely overshadowed by my tamed monsters in every aspect except magic. Oh and I bet you guys noticed right. Peach is considered an elite monster. Her color probably has something to do with it as well as the fact that she has human transformation. Glop is still normal minion class monster but don’t mistake it for being weak. Peach just grows with more ease that is all.
Now the best one is Rama. He is the baby fox I found starving. Because of Peach’s milk he became a boss class monster. If you are wondering, the baby foxes from the nest I saved are elite monsters now and with their influence and my ideas I had them make a large collection of burrows for the fox. This way a huge fox pack was born and some people even consider it a low class dungeon, but because the burrow is so small no one can enter and hunt them.
Even with the lesser stats one can’t compare Peach and him because the race was different. Rama is more than twice as strong as a normal adult fox. He is just a bit stronger in strength to Peach and Glop but they are quicker than him.
Well, I guess it's a good thing for a tamer to be overshadowed in strength when speaking about your monsters.
I bet everyone is wondering if they walk around butt naked. Like hell they do. Besides Rama who is a fox, Peach and Glop have clothes. It’s been a long time already that I made gel slimes evolve into clothes. They have what I call, Slime armor. Because I had two full sets of newbie warrior plate armor I made armor mimic slimes from gel slime using those.
Though I store them in the pocket space for tamer monsters, when I am going to fight or when I start fighting I bring them out and they quickly arm the slimes. Though the chest and leg armor remains for obvious reasons.
Megumi also helped me make some armor and claw weapons for Rama making him even more dangerous. As you can already guess but he can’t enter the city unless it’s in the tamer guild which is where I live. Yep, the second to last floor of the tamer guild was actually the guildmasters home. They had a real home but Dalton stays there. I stay there a lot but for sleeping I used to go with Megumi to our house.
It was a huge two floor house in the upper district. Yep, the nobles district. What do you expect, the man is the headmaster of a huge guild.
It sucked though. When Megumi turned 16 we had a huge celebration and she registered to be an adventurer the same day. I already knew it was coming but still, it sucks. She spent the whole week with me but at the end she finally set off.
After she left, Rio was the only one I spent any long amount of time with. The Elf maid was really nice and smart. She also seem to be experienced with forest type creatures and is a mage tamer like I want to be. Mage tamer is a named used for those who use magic instead of physical strength as a tamer. She does that more but her physical strength is nothing to scoff at.
Now about strength, that damn amazon put me through hell. Though that is personal view of it. The real thing is much less drastic. I did all the same exercises the other kids did but I had a much slower growth. It was only thanks to the slime milk that my growth was accelerated to a normal child's level. When I was finally able to reach the proper base for a child at seven years old. The amazon took it upon herself and make me do some more intense training. She got a permit to take me into the forest for about a month so that I could learn to take care of myself in the wild.
It was this reason that I reached level five. You might have noticed but humans and other sentient creatures level up much slower than monsters. For me, I do so even slower than that because of my constitution which makes me weaker. I need to put in at least 10 times more effort to get the same outcome as others in the case of gaining stats. As for leveling up it's 5 times. I need 5 times more Exp than others to level up.
So you can understand, to reach level 2 normal people need 100 exp. For me I need 500.
Because of this I am forced to rely more on training myself instead of relying on my levels. In all respect though. I think it's better this way.
Remember that stupid mage’s party I beat up with Peach and Glop? Well they became some hot shot adventurers but at a single look at them I could tell, and so could every other trained person. These guys relied heavily on the magic artifacts and equipment they gained.
Obviously there were many people who used them but the difference is that most train themselves. It's been taught long ago to players that completing the beginners training dojo is the best thing you can do. Apparently, these idiots didn’t do that and just went about doing requests until level 10 and got their job.
Total morons if you ask me. For me, I can’t beat them now since they have already ventured far but it’s not like they are any good either.
Well let's forget about stupid
idiots like them for now. At this time I am more then happy to forget because I am now crying in Rio’s arms because I will miss her.
We were in front of Dalton’s real house in the nobles district and all the maids and servants were out there cheering for me. I had grown familiar with them and they like me since I showed massive promise as a tamer and the time we spent together.
In front of the house on the road was a car waiting for me. On its side was the emblem for the school. It was a large book in the back with a sword and staff crossing each other and then the school's name in the front. The name “Othenia Grand Magic Academy” was written on the side. They told me that the car was special and used a unique type of magic called Space magic which allows for high speed travel. No normal human can use it but items allow it.
After a bit Rio let go and I go and hug everyone. My luggage had been loaded into the trunk already and all that was left was me.
After saying goodbye to everyone I look at the two slimes waiting.
“Ok guys let's go.” I said.
The two nod and after I give the order, the armor slimes were unsummoned and allowed to do as they liked in the pocket space while Peach and Glop were told to return to slime form. By habit already the two jumped up and landed on my head which had become their personal perch.
