Chapter 36: Who can fail the exam?

Trainer.

A magical profession that, it is said, can determine how long a Pet hasn’t pooped by the frequency of its calls.

As long as one becomes a Trainer, even if they are F-level, as long as they are affiliated with a Trainer Association in a certain region, a substantial amount of training funds will be deposited into their personal account every year.

Truly achieving the goal of making money while lying down.

If there might be one Trainer among a hundred Yu Beast Masters, then among ten thousand Trainers, it’s unlikely to find even one A-level Breeder.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up; this was the first time she had encountered an A-level Breeder.

“Hello, Vice Principal,” Qiao Sang greeted, then turned Fire Fang Dog’s head towards Liu Yao. “Fire Fang Dog, come, say hello to the Vice Principal.”

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog barked very politely.

A smile flashed in Liu Yao’s eyes, and before he could speak, Qiao Sang had already opened her mouth curiously: “Vice Principal, do you know how long it’s been since my Fire Fang Dog had a big one?”

Liu Yao: “…”

“Hahahahaha…”

Zheng Guoping, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but burst out laughing, only stopping under Liu Yao’s glare.

Trainers distinguishing how long a Pet hasn’t pooped by the frequency of its calls is a recent internet meme.

The male guest number three on a certain dating variety show was a Trainer. Due to his reserved personality and not being the most outstanding in appearance among the male guests, and his accompanying Pet being a disliked Ghost-type Pet, he was sidelined, and no female guest chose him for eight whole days.

However, on the ninth day, female guest number two’s Swift Horn Deer suffered from severe abdominal pain after eating male guest number one’s nutrient meal and kept screaming.

While everyone was blaming male guest number one, male guest number three, who had a consistently low presence, spoke up.

“It’s because it hasn’t relieved itself for over 20 days and is constipated. Giving it a Through-Through Fruit will make it better.”

Female guest number two was stunned because her Swift Horn Deer indeed hadn’t relieved its physiological needs for 23 days.

After the Swift Horn Deer ate the Through-Through Fruit and relieved itself, it was indeed lively again.

Female guest number two asked him how he knew the exact time, and male guest number three replied, “Through the frequency of its calls.”

This answer astonished everyone; could this actually be discerned?

Male guest number three instantly became the most sought-after male guest, surrounded by female guests every day, listening to the calls of their Pets.

As a typical researcher, Liu Yao had never watched any dating variety shows.

He looked at Fire Fang Dog and said helplessly, “I don’t know.”

Liu Yao, this old pedant, didn’t know about this meme, but Zheng Guoping had watched that dating show with his wife.

This wasn’t discerned by listening to the frequency of calls; it was clearly because male guest number three had let his Ghost-type Pet enter the girls’ rooms and eavesdrop on their conversations.

Qiao Sang had only heard of the meme but hadn’t watched the dating show, so she didn’t know the specific process and thought it was real. She was a bit disappointed now but didn’t show it, asking another question: “What would be the effect if Fire Fang Dog bathed for half a month with those?”

Liu Yao explained, “If I’m not mistaken, Fire Fang Dog is currently in a state close to a critical point, somewhat similar to the prelude to skill awakening. It should be a speed-related skill. Vitality Grass, Heat-Relief Powder, these are all herbs that can activate Fire-type energy. Bathing for half a month might allow it to break through this critical point earlier.”

Qiao Sang was shocked. In just over ten days, Fire Fang Dog had already learned two skills, Spark and Shadow Clone.

Now another one?!

This must be a genius Fire Fang Dog!

Qiao Sang excitedly looked at Fire Fang Dog and said, “Come, Fire Fang Dog, quickly thank the Vice Principal.”

Guidance from an A-level Breeder is not something just anyone can receive.

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog barked decisively.

Although it didn’t understand what a critical point, Vitality Grass, or prelude was, it was always right to thank someone when its Yu Beast Master told it to.

“Ear Yi!!!”

Liu Yao was about to say something else when a hysterical wail suddenly came from the Long-eared Cat nearby.

Qiao Sang was startled.

She turned to see the Long-eared Cat curled up, front paws covering its face, tears continuously streaming down its cheeks, looking as if it were in heart-wrenching agony.

Fire Fang Dog also noticed the Long-eared Cat’s state.

Could it be that it cried because of it?!

At this moment, Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog had the exact same thought.

Qiao Sang felt a bit guilty. She went to Zheng Yining’s side and asked weakly, “What happened to Long-eared Cat?”

Zheng Yining turned to her and said with a wry smile, “It’s a bit of a clean freak. When it woke up and found itself being licked by Lick Lick Drop’s tongue, it just became like this.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She could understand!

Fire Fang Dog breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that it wasn’t its doing.

“Teacher, with Long-eared Cat in this state, it probably won’t be able to compete in the upcoming battle,” Zheng Yining said to Sun Boyi beside her.

“Are you forfeiting?” Sun Boyi asked.

“I am forfeiting,” Zheng Yining replied.

She was already one of the five special admission candidates, so there was no need to continue the competition. Moreover, with Qiao Sang there, she wouldn’t be able to get first place, and she didn’t think Qiao Sang would lose to Li Yang.

“Okay,” Sun Boyi nodded in agreement. “Then the final match will be Qiao Sang against Li Yang.”

Originally, after Qiao Sang and Zheng Yining’s match, the loser, Zheng Yining, would compete against Li Yang.

Now that Zheng Yining directly forfeited, Qiao Sang and Li Yang were matched up.

Li Yang: “…”

He also wanted to forfeit. His goal of entering the top three for special admission had already been achieved. This girl named Qiao Sang and her Fire Fang Dog were too fierce; even Lu Liangye was not her opponent. He felt he couldn’t win, but giving up without even trying was too cowardly…

…

Li Yang’s Pet was a Short-tailed Snake. Its needle tail was poisonous, its teeth were poisonous, and its blood was also poisonous.

Qiao Sang made a judgment and immediately had a strategy in mind.

The battle began–

Fire Fang Dog immediately split into two, running in circles around the Short-tailed Snake at a distance of about five meters, quickly making it seem like only a single illusion.

As the illusion formed, Sparks continuously shot out.

The Short-tailed Snake’s vision became dizzy from following the constantly moving positions of the two Fire Fang Dogs. In the slight moment of dizziness, it was hit by several flames and was cleanly defeated without even moving.

Li Yang regretted it immensely. If he had known the result would be so tragic, he would have found an excuse to forfeit!

This was not the level of a novice Yu Beast Master; even high school students already attending Yu Beast Middle School were probably no better!

Lu Liangye watched from the side with great satisfaction. Compared to this, he didn’t seem so pathetic.

“Qiao Sang wins.”

After announcing the results, Sun Boyi gathered the top five.

“The results of this exam will be posted on Saint Water Middle School’s official website in two days. On the day your middle school exam results are released, bring your transcript to our school to report. If your middle school exam score doesn’t meet the requirements, other special admission students will fill your spot in order.”

The candidates who were eliminated in the first round and hadn’t left yet became excited. Did this mean they still had hope?

The next second, he deflated again. As long as they passed the special admission exam, let alone first place, the next four places only needed to score 50 points higher than the lowest middle school exam score.

With such a low score, who couldn’t pass?

Alas…
