Miche wasn't expecting the instantaneous taming. So this is what some people have experienced before they managed to get their tamed Mythias.
The most common thing to do to tame a Mythia is to appease it and to show that you are not harmful to it in any way, shape, or form. This works on docile to non-hostile Mythias as they immediately show signs they will be tamed.
As for Mythias who are wild in nature and have the secondary trait to fight in the wilds, they will have to prove their capability to the Mythia by either besting it or outlasting it in battle. That is how most combat-reliant Mythias get tamed, and the majority of the Mythias are being handled with.
But there are times when those two are ignored and they get to tame the Mythia immediately, even before one begins the taming initiation. Sometimes it happens on Mythias that hatches on eggs and meets the first person who holds it and imprints them as their "parent," which would also qualify the taming process.
However, the rarer thing that one will experience in taming a Mythia is if it wasn't a baby. If one tames it before they begin the taming initiation, its either the Mythia likes you and decided that it will serve you as their master, or if the Mythia was rescued by a human and they appreciate the gesture of saving them in the process.
In Miche's case, one can say that he is much closer to the latter one. Since Miche helped the Wild dog from its injuries, the taming process worked faster than Miche imagined. He was nervous it would fail and the Wild Dog would suddenly attack him, but since it worked, he sighed in relief.
Since the Wild Dog is still injured and not fully healed, Miche had to carry the Wild Dog back with him to the cave. Like always, the female voice keep ringing on his head but he decided to keep quiet and ignore it for now. What he needed to do is to make sure they get to be safe that night and return without any trouble.
Thanks to the medicine he used to the Wild Dog, most of the wounds on its body is slowly healing. By the time morning comes, those wounds would be mostly gone.
While eating, Miche touches the head of the Wild Dog and the same voice from before rings in his head again.
"[Tamed Mythia compatible. Do you want to assign stat points? You have 2 stat points available.]"
Although Miche still does not understand what is happening, considering this tamed Mythia is his after taming, there is no need for him to hold back.
"Assign stat points," Miche voiced out.
"[Order Accepted. Mythia identified to be a Wild Dog. Rating Rank F. Evolution possible. Would you like to check the evolution trees?]"
Still confused, he decided to go along.
"Yes."
"[Order Accepted. To view the evolution trees, please hold a phone.]
Miche didn't have his phone but he does have the tablet provided by the academy. He held it in his hand and the screen of the tablet flickers and the display turned different. Different breeds of Mythia appeared on his screen. It has description and what makes them differenret from the other breeds. Currently, he has four options and Miche can check each and every one of them.

Miche was surprised after reading each of the pictures and their description. The Wild Dog can evolve into these kinds of Mythia? Each selections features both advantage and disadvantage but nonetheless, they are all different from one another and each can be achieved if stats reaches a certain point.
He heard before that there are many people who trains their Mythia a lot to make them more powerful and evolve them to a certain breed. It is also one of the main reasons Mythia trainers have to spend a lot of money just so they can evolve their Mythia.
"[Have you chosen which path evolution of the Mythia is going to take place? Please distribute the stat points. You have 2 available points.]"
Miche checks each evolution path once more, and weigh each pros and cons of each breed. He can choose to play safe and go for the balance build, but it is kind of boring. And so, he decided to not do the Dog Commander evolution path.
Second, a glass cannon dog. Very strong in range, but nonexistent normal combat. Very hard to raise. Sure, it has a high potential but it is not ideal and hard to train for. So the Elementalist dog evolution path is also a no-go.
There are only two paths that Miche has a bit of interest with. The Metallic dog and Shadow Dog. Sure, they have a lot of cons but he is quite curious on each of them. At first, he was totally tempted with the Metallic Dog path. Not only can it heal damages all by itself, but it is also very tanky, which is going to be really useful in the future.
However, he likes the battle style and pros of the Shadow Dog. Sure, it isn't frontal, but it excels in ambush. A fitting style he prefers in combat.
"Well, let's see how this goes. Distribute points!"
The screen flickers once more and the screen display changed. It was a display of the current stats of the Wild Dog and its skills. Besides each stats has a plus symbol signifying that he can increase them.
The current stats are pretty mediocre for a Mythia, no wonder Wild dogs are considered Rank F in terms of combat capability. But considering the evolution paths, perhaps no one has done something like this before.

"Attack and Agility right? Okay, let's distribute the two stat points. Looks like it will take some time before I can raise him as a Shadow Dog but this is going to be an investment."
As soon as he does that, the Wild Dog shines a bit before it returns to normal. The screen also flickered and it returned to normal without any signs of the previous menus he have seen.
"Is it done?" Miche wonders and opens the status panel built inside the tablet to check on his Wild Dog. It is a tool used by the Academy to help tamers to determine which Mythia are they aiming to get and which one they are planning to not take with and releass back to the wild.
Scanning the sleeping wild dog, the screen displays its current stat to Miche along with its skills that it can use. The display it shows is kind of identical to the one he saw before. Though more likely it imitates the stat display. The only difference is that this one has no plus signs on each stats and the skills are now in display.

Miche smiled and soon realized the potential of this newfound power he has. It might be a slow process, but Miche is liking it as he can plan for the growth of each Mythia he can tame and make them stronger even if they are the weakest Mythia to ever exist. Perhaps, his power will shake up the industry of tamers due to this but Miche didn't care. If he can benefit from it, then there is no need to limit himself.
"Whatever this new power is, I will make full use of it and survive this cruel society of tamers."
