Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 126: High School Sophomore Team
“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”
A shrill scream echoed over Saint Water Middle School.
Qiao Sang had once thought that the Pet she would contract in the future could take her Flying, but she had never thought that this Pet would be Ya Bao.
In society, Flying-type Pets are generally used for carrying people into the sky.
It’s not that Superpower System Pets can’t use telekinesis to move people in the air.
It’s just that, on one hand, Superpower System Pets are too rare and expensive, and on the other hand, controlling a person to move in the air for a long time would consume a lot of energy, so the Pet’s level would at least have to be High Level or above.
But even if a Superpower System Pet reached the level where it could move people a few kilometers or even tens of kilometers in the air, no one would do that.
Isn’t it better to be safely on a Flying-type Pet?
Why bother with hovering movement? It makes people feel insecure and isn’t fast enough.
However, these two points are not a concern with Ya Bao.
Because it can be ridden.
Just for this point alone, once the news of Yan Ling Dog is announced, it will definitely cause a nationwide sensation.
Qiao Sang, however, felt no sensation at all at this moment.
She looked down from Ya Bao’s back, trembling, and immediately felt a bit dizzy and disoriented.
“Ya Bao, why are you running towards the sky?” Qiao Sang asked with a trembling voice.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao responded loudly, “Of course, it’s to pick stars for my little brother!”
“Xun!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost instantly cheered.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Ya Bao had been too well-behaved recently, so much so that she almost forgot how it used to occasionally give her “surprises.”
…
Of course, the stars weren’t picked in the end.
However, Qiao Sang discovered from Ya Bao the possibility of her Flying early without needing to contract a Flying-type Pet.
And it’s not bad at all; its fur is smooth and comfortable to sit on, and there aren’t two big wings constantly blocking the view. It’s simply a perfect Flying mount.
Although Superpower System Pets don’t consume much energy to move themselves in the air, Ya Bao had just evolved and was carrying both herself and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost. Qiao Sang was experiencing such an exciting flight for the first time and was really uneasy, constantly urging Ya Bao to go back quickly.
Fortunately, Ya Bao still listened to her.
As for Flying in the future, she could only consider it after testing Ya Bao’s physical and energy limits.
…
The next day.
August 3rd.
Qiao Sang struggled to get out of bed until past eight o’clock.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost held a glass of milk by the bed, looking up at the sky with a yearning expression.
Ya Bao, as always, was diligent, practicing by floating in the middle of the room with telekinesis early in the morning.
Three bottles of milk floated in front of it, being alternately delivered to its mouth under the control of telekinesis.
“I should still wean it off milk and switch to energy meals,” Qiao Sang thought, looking at the milk that was completely mismatched with Ya Bao’s current size.
After washing up and coming to the living room, she saw her roommate looking at his phone at the dining table.
“You’re up,” Jin Feifan looked up and said in surprise.
“Mm,” Qiao Sang yawned.
“Didn’t you sleep well last night either?” Jin Feifan asked, looking at Qiao Sang’s tired appearance.
“I didn’t sleep well,” Qiao Sang replied.
Although Ya Bao listened to her and came back halfway last night, it was dark and windy, and the landing spot was not inside Saint Water Middle School at all.
When they finally got back, they found the school gate was locked.
Fortunately, with Ya Bao, they directly climbed over the wall. Later, they found the door downstairs in the dormitory building was also closed, and they relied on Ya Bao to fly to the dormitory balcony to get in.
All this back and forth, it got late.
“You didn’t sleep well either?” Qiao Sang noticed the word “either” in her roommate’s question.
“Yeah, last night, I don’t know where a terrifying scream, like something from a horror movie, came from. It scared me to death, and I kept thinking all night if something had happened outside,” Jin Feifan said with lingering fear, “I knocked on your door yesterday, but you didn’t answer. Did you hear that sound?”
Qiao Sang shook her head: “Maybe I wasn’t in the dorm at that time, and I didn’t hear the sound either.”
Jin Feifan froze for a moment, his face turned pale, and his mood, which had already calmed down, became tense again: “It couldn’t have been just me who heard it, could it? I felt that sound was quite loud.”
My roommate is really too timid.
Qiao Sang paused, looking at Jin Feifan’s frightened expression, and asked, “What time did you hear it? Let me think again.”
Jin Feifan thought for a moment and said, “Around 7:40 PM.”
Qiao Sang recalled. At that time, she was still training Ya Bao on the sports field and didn’t hear any…
Wait…
Qiao Sang’s facial expression became stiff.
Could the terrifying scream from a horror movie be referring to her?
“Did you remember?” Jin Feifan asked expectantly.
“Hehe, no.”
…
After finishing a day of training in the afternoon, Qiao Sang was about to leave when she was called.
“Teacher Qin, what’s wrong?” She came to the wall and asked.
“How do you feel after these two days of training?” Qin Wen asked with a smile.
“I feel like I’ve gotten darker,” Qiao Sang said seriously.
When she trained in Qiao Sang’s Old Home before, she always hid in shaded places. After coming here, she spent most of her time exposed to the sun on the sports field. In just two days, she felt like she had gotten a shade darker.
Qin Wen: “…”
Who asked you that!
She was silent for a few seconds and said, “You can have your Treasure Hunting Ghost learn a skill called Black Screen. It can shroud things in shadow, which is for concealment. It won’t cause any harm when used on people.”
“Xun.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost blinked.
“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.
This matter is not urgent; she would discuss it after Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned one month old and could start training.
“You have already contracted two Pets, and one of them is a Mid-Level Pet. It’s not very suitable for you to train with the new students anymore. Tomorrow morning at 8 AM, gather at Training Ground No. 5. From now on, you’ll train with the second-year School Team,” Qin Wen said directly without beating around the bush.
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. So the Teacher had already considered everything!
“Originally, I should have had you go to the second-year School Team yesterday, but they’ve been on a mission these past few days and just returned this afternoon,” Qin Wen continued.
“Mission?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.
“Yes, the second-year is different from the first-year. Those who can enter the second-year School Team are top students who possess two Mid-Level Pets. In addition to basic training, we also let them take on some missions from the Beast Taming Association to get some experience.”
“Although our battle group has 6 people, the individual battle group is different from the team battle group. We require students in the individual battle group to take solo missions, and students in the team battle group to take team missions.”
“When you go there, it will be the same. The current coach of the second-year School Team is Teacher Zheng Guoping. You should have met him during your special recruitment,” Qin Wen said with a smile.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked, “Is he the Teacher who was the referee?”
“No,” Qin Wen paused, “He’s the Teacher with a particularly loud voice and a particularly bad temper.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
“But he’s a very good person,” Qin Wen added.
