Chapter 2 of "STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer" commences with: Inside the mansion of the Night Family, a young man dressed in a navy blue... Don’t miss the next part!

Inside the mansion of the Night Family, a young man dressed in a navy blue suit gazes at a holographic screen. Tomorrow is an important day for him: every 18-year-old undergoes their Awakening at this age, and upon successfully awakening their talent, they can bond with a suitable beast. "The Awakening Day," Jeremy mutters to himself. He reviews the list of successful awakens from previous years, noting that many have awakened A-grade talents, allowing them to bond with powerful beasts. A fiery glint flashes in Jeremy's eyes. As a descendant of the Night Family, he carries additional responsibilities. Not only must he prove himself as a strong Beast Tamer, but he also has to enhance his family's status. Currently, the Human Alliance leads humanity. After the mutation, the concept of nations dissolved, and people united to form the Human Alliance. This alliance created different zones and countless settlements. They were numbered from Zone 1 to Zone 25, each containing numerous cities labelled from City A to City H and other unrecognised settlements. Inside each zone, many small and large-scale settlements are still striving for City Status. This status is granted by the Human Alliance based on the number of Beast Tamers in that settlement. The Night Family is one of the administrative families in City C, Zone 14. Three families collectively oversee the safety and governance of City C: the Night Family, the Ross Family, and the Glass Family. Their main job is to protect the city from the attacks of the Corrupted Beasts. The heads of these families are all Tier-5 Beast Tamers. Unlike the other two family heads, who have multiple heirs, Jeremy feels the added pressure of being the sole child. If he fails to awaken a remarkable talent, it won't be long before someone else replaces his family. It's no secret that governing families must also possess personal strength. After calming his racing heart, he decides to take a rest. He reminds himself that he is not inferior to last year's successful awakeners. With that thought, he dismisses the holographic screen and takes a stroll around his manor. About ten minutes later, he returns to his room, shuts the door, and changes into comfortable clothes. Lying back on his bed and looking at the ceiling, he reflects on his parents.@@@@ "Father and Mother have gone to meet their acquaintances. I'm sure they are going to buy some treasures," Jeremy thinks to himself, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. He knows that his parents would do everything to improve his chances. The stakes are high, as not only the Night Family's future is at risk, but his mother's side of the family is also looking forward to his awakening. "I think they returned last night," he thinks, recalling his parents. He hurries toward the study room. When he arrives at the door, he creaks it open and steps inside. Ron, the head of the family, shares a similar hairstyle and skin tone with Jeremy and is sitting behind the desk. Right next to him, Nora, his wife, is seated as well. Both of them are not surprised to see their son. "Jeremy, come here," Ron says in a solemn tone. Jeremy respects his parents very much; they built the family from scratch. His father is a Tier-5, 9th Rank Beast Tamer. His mother was a Tier-5, 6th Rank. As long as both of them were present, no one could challenge the Night Family. Jeremy approached the desk and stood before them. "Father." "Mother," he greeted them both. "Jeremy, I understand that you are feeling the pressure of the awakening ceremony. We don't want to offer naive words and give you false hope," his father, Ron, said seriously. "Talent is indeed important. If you awaken a talent of C grade or above, you can lead a good life thereafter. However, if you want to study in City A, you will need a talent of B grade or above," he continued. Hearing this, I grasped the reality of the situation. Each Zone has a university for Beast Tamers, but most of the prestigious universities are located in City A. City A is significantly larger and possesses more resources than other cities. In contrast, City C has one or two Beast Taming Universities designed for students with grades D and below. Attending these universities is considered a significant achievement for those with lower talent levels. On the other hand, City D has only one university, while City E and others below it offer special academies for students with low or "trash" talents. In a world where humans fight against beasts, every individual is seen as having some talent. There are academies available for those who fail to awaken their talents in the bottom-tier cities, allowing people from surrounding settlements to attend and learn.
