Capítulo 242: Beast Training [2]

Adrian reached into his satchel and pulled out a small whistle and a handful of treats. "First, let's see if you respond to basic commands with some positive reinforcement."

He blew the whistle softly and held up a treat. The Flare Cubs perked up at the sound and cautiously approached him, sniffing the air.

"Good, come on," he encouraged, offering the treat to the closest Flare Cub. It gingerly took the treat from his hand, its tail flame flickering excitedly. The other Flare Cubs soon followed suit.

"Alright, now let's see how well you can control your flames," Adrian said, pointing to a row of targets set up at the far end of the enclosure. "Flare Cubs, focus your flames on the targets."

The Flare Cubs, sensing his intent, began to breathe small jets of fire toward the targets. Their aim was a bit erratic, but they were clearly trying.

"Great job! Keep practicing," he praised them, moving on to the Aqua Sprites.
