Wilderness (10th Zone):
Jeremy is traveling on the main road. Even after finding the main road, he couldn't let down his guard. A few teams were constantly checking him out.
Compared to the teams from the Beast Taming Families. The Team from Central University 10 was looking at me. I'm afraid if a fight breaks out, I would be in a disadvantageous position.
On the other hand, the final students of Central University 10 are here. Upon seeing Jeremy Night here, they couldn't help but think of the rumours.
Before the Beast Invasion, Jeremy Night joined the Shadow Moon Organisation. It's because his achievements were mentioned in the genius list. That he has killed Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts before.
Everyone was shocked at that time. Especially the Dean, Head and Instructors of Central University 10. Everyone felt unbelievable.
Jeremy Night was from the same background as them. He entered Central University 14. Whereas they are part of Central University 10.
They had thought the Shadow Moon Organisation made a mistake. But the rumours about that kid didn't stop. His performance during the Beast Invasion was noted by others.
If it was a false reputation maliciously spread by the Shadow Moon Organisation. Then the City Governors and the Beast Taming Association won't be silent.
Not only them, the other major players in the City A were silent as well. It shows there is some truth behind the rumours.
The students in the campus have long wanted to meet the genius. Now the 4th year students got the chance here.
Suddenly, the leading person of the team made the decision. His name is Finley. He signaled others. Which means he has decided to do something.
All of sudden the six men team stopped and turned around to face Jeremy Night.
"Hmmm," Jeremy raised his eyebrows.
He knew something was not right earlier. They have been constantly checking him out. It was proof that they were up to something.
Then he paused his footsteps. He was not afraid of the Beast Tamers. He has survived from the deadly Dark Red Lizard.
It's just that he needs practice to fight without using the weapons.
Commotion!
A small commotion occurs. The sudden act of the Central University students alerted others. Then they saw a Tier-2 young man standing as well.
The other Teams knew something was going to happen. None of them went forward to stop. They are watching the show from the sidelines.
"Are they going to fight?"
"The young man is Tier-2 Beast Tamer. Weren't they bullying him?"
"If the Shadow Moon Organisation finds out it won't end well."
The Beast Tamers were discussing. They don't want to implicate their organisation. So some of the teams immediately left the place.
Those teams whose organisation were on friendly terms with the Shadow Moon Organisation stayed behind. They knew the benefits of rescuing Jeremy Night.
On the other hand, there are hostile teams who stayed behind as well. Upon seeing that hostile parties are interested in the confrontation.
The expression of the friendly team changes. They don't want any factions to fight here. The city is recovering from the Beast invasion.
All the Beast Taming Organisations have suffered during the Beast Invasion. The loss of manpower was huge. The last thing they wanted was another similar news to appear.
Jeremy Night is taking note of all of this. After going back, he will report identities of the Beast Taming Organisation Emblems.
Among the teams he knows some of them are friendly and others are hostile. But he doesn't know the stance of Central University 10.
He thinks that similar to arrogant seniors of the Beast Taming Families back at home. There are a group of arrogant people studying in Central University 10 as well.
So he is not going to blame the whole campus for it.
Finley walks up to him. When there was little distance between them. He stopped. He appears to be in his mid twenties. He was already a Tier-4 Beast Tamer and a final year student of Central University 10.
"So, you are Jeremy Night. My name is Finley, I didn't expect to meet you here," Finley said with a smile.
Seeing that Jeremy decides to respond positively.
"Yes, that's me. Senior. It's nice to see you as well," Jeremy replied.
Hearing that Finley smiled. At the same time, he looks around him. Apart from his team, there are other Beast Taming Teams as well.
Both are divided into two camps. The Central University 10 always maintained a neutral stance. His family connected to Central University 10 as well.
So Finley was not stupid enough to harm Jeremy Night. But it doesn't mean that he would let go without confirming some truth.
Finley clearly sees that Jeremy Night is Tier-2 Beast Tamer who has achieved 5th Rank. He knows this rate of process and strength is comparable to the S-Grade Talents in their first year of studies as well.
The first year students with S-Grade Talents are closer to Tier-3 Breakthrough. They are truly geniuses. He thinks Jeremy Night was far behind them.
The other Beast Taming Teams were quiet. They were wondering what he's . They had thought a fight would break out. Then they can watch the show.
Finley said,"I need to confirm something. If you pass my test, then we can go back to the City together. No other team will bother you."
Hearing that Jeremy Night was taken aback. He thought he was another arrogant man from a rich family. After hearing him, he too understood that he was not stupid.
There are other teams here. If the news gets out, it would ruin the reputation of Central University 10. If it happens, the person in front of me would get into trouble.
Not only would he be implicated, the family behind him would suffer as well.
"What do you think?" Finley asked.
"I agree," Jeremy Night said.
Hearing that a bright smile appeared on Finley's face. Not only would he be able to confirm his doubts. There won't be any complaint since he is going to escort Jeremy Night back to the city safely.
The remaining five members of the team were happy. They had thought Finley would do something drastic.
Now they are happy that there won't be any damage to them.
"Good, then the test is easy for you if your reputation is true," Finley said with a smile.
"Just, survive from the attacks of my lifeline beast for 15 minutes," he added.
Jeremy relaxed his eyebrows. Now he understood the purpose of the test. Finley wanted to test his strength.
"Okay," Jeremy replied.
The other teams heard it as well. The hostile teams were disappointed. They had thought a fight would break out. Both could fight each other. But nothing like that happened.
The friendly teams sighed in relief. They don't want to offend Jeremy Night and the Central University 10. This test was not harsh according to them.
It's useful for them as well. They could share the intel to their respective organisations behind them.
"Jeremy Night, get ready. My pang won't go easy on you," After saying that Finley brings out his Lifeline beast.
Boom!
The next second, a Tier -4 Pangolin appears in front of Jeremy Night. It was brown in color. Its back was completely covered with brown keratin scales.
The height is 8ft long and it's 30ft long. It weighs around 20 tons. A hit from it could crush low tier corrupted beasts.
Squish!
All of a sudden, the pangolin opened its mouth. A long sticky tongue comes out of it. It aims at Jeremy Night.
Jeremy Night uses his eye ability. He sees the trajectory of the tongue. Then he moves away from the spot.
Boom!
A long powerful sticky tongue destroys the ground. The shock force spreads across the place.
The teams were surprised. They knew about the pangolin. It has hard scales. It's not easy to destroy a powerful defense. The strong claws can dig though any small mountain.
Jeremy Night stands far away and sees that beast. He didn't expect the Pangolin to attack right away. He furrowed his eyebrows.
Finley smiled and said,"What are you doing?"
"You have only 15 minutes left. If you want you can use your lifeline beast as well," he added.
Jeremy Night ignored his words. If the blade hadn't cracked, he could have injured it. His starlight power can break the defense of the Tier-4 Beast.
It's a pity that his situation was not good. He cannot engage in close combat as well. The thing weighs over several thousand pounds.
He can't take the risk of getting hit by it. He had experienced the pain of getting hit from the Dark Red Lizard. He doesn't want to go through the pain again.
Swoosh!
Finley gives the command to the pangolin. Then it started chasing Jeremy Night.
Finley furrowed his eyebrows. Earlier, he saw Jeremy Night's reaction speed. If it were others they would have gotten hit from the tongue attack.
But Jeremy Night escaped from it. It shows that rumours might not be false. He still wants to see more.
