Chapter 116: An Actual Battle Between Beast Masters
“Lugh, do you want to be the class monitor?”
“No!”
Ordinary students wanted to be the class monitor to broaden their network.
But Lugh wasn’t interested in this.
“Then Nana, you can be the class monitor!”
Nana raised her head and looked at Karenina in surprise. She didn’t expect Karenina to call her name.
“Can I?”
“Of course you can. No one will object!”
“Alright then!”
Nana hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
“You’re all young people who have awakened your Beast Master talent. After entering high school, your main focus is to increase your strength!” Karenina spread out her textbook and said, “In the next fifteen days, you’ll stay in school to learn the basic knowledge Beast Masters must master.”
“In fifteen days, our entire school will have an exam. Students who score above 90 points will be able to go to the outskirts of Seven Star City for field combat study.”
“The exam is very simple and basic. If you don’t score 90 points, you will have to continue studying for half a month before taking the exam again, until you can score 90 points!”
In the next fifteen days, Lugh learned how to open the Beast Master Space in the Rune Academy. He learned the classification of wild Fierce Beasts, the simple combat techniques of Beast Masters, and the cultivation knowledge of Divine Beasts…
Fifteen days later, after an exam, of the forty-one students in class one, thirty-nine succeeded in getting ninety points. Only two students didn’t get ninety points.
Sitting on the earthworm subway, Karenina looked at the remaining thirty-nine students and said, “Everyone, don’t think that you can stop learning everything just because you passed the exam. As Beast Masters, not only do you have to learn combat techniques, you also have to learn how to distinguish the Fierce Beasts near Seven Star City, learn their abilities and weaknesses, distinguish wild medicinal herbs, learn about wild survival knowledge, and so on… The more you learn, the better you will live. I hope that you won’t forget what I said!”
The Class One students replied loudly, “We understand, Teacher!”
Upon seeing them, Karenina smiled and said, “I hope you’ll be as energetic when you’re outside Seven Star City for field combat training!”
After getting off the earthworm subway, the group followed the damp steps to the surface of the ground. What appeared before their eyes was a relatively wide plain with rows of simple wooden houses.
Karenina brought the group of students to the wooden houses, and three Beast Masters walked out.
“Let me introduce them to everyone. In the next year, these three teachers will be in charge of your practical combat lessons!”
The three teachers were Sask, Rawls, and Satei.
Sask was the oldest, his face full of vicissitudes of life. His white hair was disheveled, and he looked like an old lion.
Satei and Rawls were both in their forties. They were in their prime, and Satei had a burly appearance. There was nothing special about him, but Rawl’s left palm was half missing.
It looked like it had been bitten off by a ferocious beast!
Through their self-introductions, the Class One students learned that these three were Silver-Grade Beast Masters who had been through countless battles!
Sask stood out and pointed at the row of simple wooden houses, saying, “From now on, you’ll live there!”
Many students ran over to take a look and felt uncomfortable.
The wooden house was not small, about 30 square meters. But inside the wooden house, there was no furniture except for a bed. Even the bed did not have any sheets or bedding. There was only a shelf.
Someone asked, “Then what do we eat?”
Sask smiled and said, “This is your problem!”
“Our problem?”
“Yes!” Sask pointed at a big house in the middle of a plain and said, “See that house? That’s where you can sell things. You can buy all kinds of daily necessities, medicine, cigarettes, alcohol, and other luxury goods there.”
“Is the school cheating us of our money?”
“Of course not!” Sask shook his head and said, “That supermarket doesn’t accept any currency. It only accepts the corpses of Fierce Beasts, fur, and crystal cores, as well as some fresh herbs and minerals. In this semester, you need to use your own strength to survive on your own!”
“What? Does the school have to be so ruthless?” A class of students were already getting nervous. One of them even said in a low voice, “The seniors from the previous batch don’t seem to be like this!”
Sask didn’t care about their displeasure, instead, he continued, “After the Beast Masters of Seven Star City cleared out the Fierce Beasts in this area, only Black Iron-Grade beasts are left. There are Beast Masters in the surroundings setting up defenses to guard against Bronze-Grade Fierce Beasts that break in… When you’re hunting Fierce Beasts, you can team up or act alone. It’s strictly forbidden to use force to snatch other people’s prey. Those who violate this rule will be expelled!”
A student asked, “Then do we still have classes?”
“Of course we have classes!” Sask nodded. “Every morning, you only have one hour of classes. We teach you combat experience and survival knowledge in the wild, but you can come or not, and we don’t know how to call names… The rest of the time is combat. It’s actual combat. Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
Many students spoke weakly.
They could already roughly see their miserable lives in the future!
Sask looked at Karenina, and Karenina stood up and said, “Oh right, there’s one more thing. Behind the supermarket, there’s a house for rent. If you want to rent a house, you’ll need the corpses of Fierce Beasts!”
A class of students shouted, “Then we’d better live in a wooden house!”
Karenina said as if she was thinking of them, “But the wooden house has no toilet, no bathroom, no…”
