John really didn't want to make the kid that nervous, but he had to be aware of the risk."That is a good question, too bad the answer is that it depends on the EXBeast.Some you can basically bribe, others you do have to prove your worth too, but there are also ExBeasts that consider a human trying to fight them a joke. So there is no way to know in advance." He purposely didn't remind the student that some ExBeasts, including summonable ones, hated humans in general though even the hostile ones could sometimes be reasoned with.
