Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Foreign Competitors
Translator: 549690339
[Yuran: A vast number of students have reported to the Student Union, requesting that we first consult with the school and organize a so-called “study role model” activity this week.]
[Yuran: We hope that students can watch the Beast Tamer competition with Vincent on-site to enhance their taming skills, improve their pet beast combat experience, broaden their horizons, and expand their knowledge and understanding. That way, their grades can improve even more.]
When Zoey Green saw Yuran’s message, she hesitated for a moment, then understood what was going on.
The students want to watch Vincent’s competition!
Not only do they want to go, but Zoey also wants to go herself.
She’s already thought about it.
If the school doesn’t allow it, she will fake being sick to watch the competition.
Although the chance of a master beast tamer falling ill is slim to none, the excuse for taking time off can overlook such details.
However, after reading Yuran’s message, she knows that she now has a reasonable justification.
“As an actual combat class teacher, taking students to watch an actual combat match should be reasonable, right?”
Thinking about this, she sends a “Yes” response to Yuran.
Then she directly calls the principal. Ring ring—
The call is connected after only a few rings.
Principal Hale’s voice comes through the line.
“Hello, Teacher Green, what can I help you with?”
“Principal Hale, do you remember Vincent from the senior year class one?”
As soon as Principal Hale hears the name Vincent, he perks up. Isn’t Vincent the hidden powerhouse of the school?
“Yes, I know. Is there any issue with Vincent?”
“No, nothing’s the matter. It’s just that he participated in the Los Angeles Professional Beast Master Certificate Exam a few days ago and passed the preliminary selection.”
“What? He took the professional Beast Master Certificate exam and passed the preliminary selection?”
Principal Hale can’t believe what he’s hearing.
It’s only been a few days since the interview!
Has Vincent already accomplished such a milestone?
Give the rest of them a chance to breathe!
Seeing that Principal Hale is still silent, Zoey continues to speak.
“Now the students know that Vincent is participating in the professional certificate exam, and they all want to go watch and learn. However, it’s not the weekend yet, so everyone has classes. What do you think…?”
On the other end of the line, Principal Hale slaps the table.
” Teacher Green, I don’t mean to scold you, but when our high school finally has a role model student, why shouldn’t we encourage everyone to learn from him? This is what we’ll do: the students who want to watch the match can sign up with you. Those who don’t can study in school. The students who sign up will be led by the actual combat class teachers to watch the match.”
Zoey is a little surprised that it was so easy to get approval and feels somewhat delighted.
“You are wise, Principal Hale.”
“Don’t celebrate too soon! Those who sign up for the trip must write a 1,000-word essay about their thoughts on the match. They must touch on at least two aspects of taming and elaborate on the professionalism, standards, tactics used in the pet beast battles, and the highlights during the match… All these have to be written down. They can’t just be going there to have fun!”
Zoey starts breaking out in a cold sweat.
Thank God she’s not a student!
That’s great!
After hanging up the phone, Zoey sees Principal Hale issue a notice shortly after.
This is because organizing a school event requires a lot of preparation, and it’s not something that can be done as soon as you say it’s going to happen.
It’s necessary to coordinate with teachers, the Student Union, and set up joint planning and execution, establish corresponding activity plans, determine safety measures, and budget for the activity expenses.
And it’s also necessary to communicate with parents to make sure they agree.
Among other things, there is still a lot to do.
“Looks like we’ll be busy these next few days.”
“Fortunately, the preliminary round is a written exam, and it can’t be watched. Otherwise, even my master-level physique wouldn’t be able to handle finishing all the preparations within a day.”
While Zoey was on the phone with the principal, Caesar Gray from the Research Bureau also received information about Barry.
Boom—
Caesar slams his fist onto the table, causing the teacup on it to tremble. It almost spills the 1,000 Cathay currency per gram top-notch ancient tree coffee inside onto the floor.
“3,222 points of energy value!”
“Can a slime really achieve this level of energy value!”
“How much research value does it actually have!”
Caesar stares at the information in his hands, growing more and more restless.
However, Vincent is not only young but also backed by two grandmasters and is a member of the mysterious team. This scares Caesar a bit.
There’s no way to forcefully take Barry away using real power.
Because research is a long-term job, it’s not something that can produce results out of thin air.
If some means are used to take Barry away, Caesar is sure that as long as the two grandmasters put their minds to it, they can find Barry within less than a day.
At that point, not only would nothing be gained, but they might also be held accountable by the enraged grandmasters.
Using force is not an option, and outsmarting them is also difficult.
Since the pet beast and the Tamer are connected, they cannot be separated. So, how can they outsmart them?
Considering this, Caesar desperately tugs his hair, looking utterly dismayed.
“Damn it, if I had known this before, I wouldn’t have started that conflict with that brat. Now there’s no way to do anything.”
If there hadn’t been that conflict before, there might still be a chance to take some simple samples for research.
But now, the situation is tense between the two, and Caesar can’t swallow his pride to apologize. So, things are left unresolved.
“Do I really have to find that so-called Pseudo-Dragon Evolution Secret now?” “This is just outrageous!”
“Using a billion-dollar worth Evolution Secret in exchange for a chance to study a slime? Especially a research opportunity that might not produce anything tangible?”
“I’m not crazy!”
“Unless you can use a slime to get first place in this exam, then you don’t have the Qualifications worth me doing this!”
In the chairman office of Los Angeles Beastmaster Association, Andy Wright browses through the names on his computer, highlighting several key ones and looking at them carefully.
As he looks, he starts chuckling.
“I didn’t expect to see so many interesting guys this year, and there are even several international exchange students participating.”
“The Great Heaven Dog from the Archipelago Alliance, the Hegemonic Tiger from the Mech Empire, the Unicorn from the Light God Country, these are all rare finds. They are all High-Level Command Races. The most outrageous one has to be the Low-level Monarch Species Diamond Glazed Lion from the Ancient Indian Nation, which has more than 4,000 energy value.”
“I underestimated the appeal of the Three-Star Mysterious Realm. Being a realm that was transformed from the Devil’s Domain, it is even more attractive to the point where even king-level Beast Masters may pay attention.”
“With such a lineup, Vincent might have a difficult time. Can he handle so many high-level pet beasts?”
“But it doesn’t matter if he can’t handle it. Just being an ordinary examinee is enough; after all, his undercover identity is not public..”
