A Beast Master's Adventure!

CHAPTER 3: THE DAY OF THE SUMMONING

*Day of the Summoning*

Julian's Point of View

**7:00 am**

I was preparing to leave home for work, when suddenly the cat I picked started rubbing herself on my slacks. I crouched down to give her a pat and smiled.

"I'll see you after work, kitten." I said, standing up and left my house

*Time Skip: 12:00pm*

"Weird…" I whispered to myself as I ate my lunch, I'm eating at our company's cafeteria together with Jameson. (The guy in chapter one)

"What?" Jameson suddenly asked, making me look at him.

"Don't you find it weird? That I'm eating lunch with you peacefully." I asked him, looking straight at his eyes.

"What I find weird is you staring at me. Dude I ain't no homo so stop staring at me." He said, continues to eat.

I just signed and continued eating. "Well, you can't blame me for acting weird. These days have been bad luck for me. Like, three days ago I got wasted and woke up the next day with a girl I didn't know in my bed and she slapped me, her friend also slapped me, and the day after that I went to work late, broke one of my samples and made my sister upset.

The only good thing that happened was finding that kitten." I thought. I sighed then stood up, taking my now empty food tray with me. Jameson just looked at me still stuffing himself with food. I ignored him and walked my way to the trash can to throw my trash.

After that I went back to my lab to start working on my research.

••••••••••••••••••

*Time Skip: 7:54 pm*

I was cut off from my concentration when a hand suddenly touched my shoulder, making me look up.

"Dude, you're way too focused." He said, "you better start preparing to go home." I just looked at him and then the wall clock hanging on the wall. It seems like I was too focused on my research that I didn't realize the time.

I smiled at Jameson and thanked him for reminding me. I started gathering my stuff and put it all in my bag. I immediately went out of the lab and locked the door, after that I made my way towards the first floor.

*A Few Minutes Later*

I didn't bring my car today, so I took a train on my way home. I can't wait to see the cute little kitten I brought home yesterday, I said as I started to jog my way home.

I stopped jogging a couple blocks away to take a breather, and looked up to the sky and sighed. Who knew at the age of 25, I would wish that something exciting would happen, minus the slapping, getting late and having a terrible day. "Who knew today would be uneventful."

I shivered as I felt the cold wind blow, making me start walking again. I was almost at my doorstep when suddenly a blinding white light appeared beneath my feet, making me close my eyes and yelp in surprise as I felt myself getting sucked into the light. I kept my eyes closed as I felt myself falling, "am I going to die?" I asked myself, "what would happen to Julia? The kitten?" I whispered, then uttered a silent prayer.

After a few minutes, the feeling of falling stopped. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I found myself in a very dark room, the only light we have is the dim light that can be seen in the magic circle beneath my feet. I studied the circle, when suddenly I heard a gasp.

I looked behind me and saw four other people, they looked like they're still in high school and one of them is familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. There are two guys and two girls in the group, if my guess is correct, maybe they're classmates or something.

"Where are we?" One of the girls, asked.

"I don't know." Says the other one.

They were still talking and trying to calm each other down, when suddenly one of the guys saw me.

"Who are you mister?" He asked.

"I'm Julian, Julian Hussein." I answered, making my way towards them. Both guys went in front of the girls, protecting them.

"Chill, both of you." I said, raising my hands in surrender and stopped walking. "May I know your names? Let's start with you." I stated, pointing to one of the guys. He has messy, jet black hair and a piercing in his right ear. He looks like a delinquent but he seems like a nice dude.

"I'm Jonathan Richards and these three are my friends." He stated, he still hasn't let his guard down which is cool and all but seriously what can an old man like me do to them, right? Even though I'm still 25.

"I'm Florence Dallas." The other guy suddenly said. Unlike Jonathan, he seems more gentlemanly and neat, he has shiny, clean-cut blonde hair and no piercing whatsoever.

I extended my right arm for a shake, which was answered by Florence, Jonathan is still looking at me intensely. I just sighed and looked at the two girls behind them.

One of the girls is really familiar, then it hit me. "Eliza?" I asked, staring at the girl who I thought was Eliza.

Jonathan quickly hid the girl I called Eliza behind his back.

"How do you know her?" He asked, the girl quickly pushed Jonathan away  stepping forward.

"You were the cashier from yesterday!" She said, making her way towards me then slapped me. All I asked was an eventful day without getting slapped and now! Just wow.

I rubbed my cheek that she slapped then chuckled, "It's not my fault I don't flirt with minors, and I don't deserve that slap." I stated, glaring at her.

She was about to say something when Florence faked a cough. "Okay, that's enough. I'm sorry about that sir Julian." He apologized.

"It's fine… It's fine…" I said, then looked at the girl in front of me.

"Are you going to introduce yourself or not?" I asked, glaring at her for slapping me.

"Eliza Marie Richards." She said, then turns her back on me, making her way to her friends. Now I know why Jonathan was overprotective, it's because that brat is his sister. Eliza has long, jet black hair that stops below her back and seems like she's the athletic type kind of gal. She's pretty but not my type.

"I see that both of you are siblings." I said, looking at her then at Jonathan.

Jonathan just nodded, still glaring at me. "Like, what the f**k?! I just got slapped and now I'm the one being glared at! Unfair." I thought to myself.

"I'm Marie Eliza Richards, nice to meet you." The other girl finally introduced herself, unlike Eliza who's a brat, this one seems docile and cute. She has short black hair, and a pretty cute face I might say but unfortunately she's a minor so nope.

Seems like Jonathan, Eliza and Marie are family, while Florence is like a family friend or something. I was about to ask questions, when suddenly the whole room lit up. Making me close my eyes because of the sudden light.

"Welcome heroes!"
