Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 365: add an hour
The next day.
Saint Water Middle School.
After advancing to the knockout rounds, it was the most crucial moment. The school didn’t require Qiao Sang to return to class during the three-day break.
However, a message came from the School Team’s group chat, stating that they had to gather this afternoon.
Thinking that she still needed to ask the Vice Principal about Ice Dew Qiya’s situation, Qiao Sang arrived at the school early in the morning.
When she reached the corridor, she found a large crowd gathered outside her classroom, watching something.
Qiao Sang asked a female classmate closest to her, who was standing on tiptoes trying to see into the classroom, “What are you all looking at?”
The female classmate replied without turning her head, “Of course, we’re here to see Qiao Sang. I wonder if she came to school today.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Why are you looking at me?”
The corridor suddenly fell silent.
Everyone turned their heads in unison, realizing that the person who had just spoken was indeed Qiao Dashen!
Who is Qiao Sang?
A first-year high school student!
A first-year high school student with a green star array who has contracted three Pets!
A first-year high school student who was exceptionally admitted to the third-year School Team, and who, with an undefeated record, defeated members of other schools’ third-year School Teams, successfully entering the knockout rounds of the third-year section of the National Campus Pet Beast League!
How awesome!
As soon as the news of her undefeated streak reached the school, Qiao Sang became the beacon of Saint Water in the hearts of all the students.
“Ah! Qiao Sang! You’re finally here at school!”
“Qiao Dashen! Can you summon Ice Dew Qiya for me to see!”
“I heard you’re going to participate in the knockout rounds the day after tomorrow. Go for it!”
“Qiao Dashen, can you give me a chance to add you to your friends list!”
A group of people surrounded her, and the students’ enthusiasm was high. Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered by the scene in front of her.
Had she become famous?
Just then, the door to Class One opened, and the homeroom teacher, Li Yi, walked out, sternly saying, “Don’t you all need to go to class?”
Seeing it was a teacher, in just a few short seconds, everyone vanished in a flash.
Li Yi turned to look at Qiao Sang, a smile spreading uncontrollably across his face: “Come in.”
Qiao Sang quickly walked into the classroom and sat down at her desk.
Then, she quickly noticed that the top students weren’t meditating diligently, but were secretly staring at her.
Under the gazes of the top students, Qiao Sang finally endured until morning self-study ended.
As soon as the homeroom teacher left, Jin Feifan eagerly turned around and said, “Qiao Sang, you’re really amazing. You haven’t lost a single match against the third-year students so far.”
Her goal is to be first in the national third-year section, how could she lose in the provincial group stage… Qiao Sang humbly said, “This is just the group stage, the difficulty isn’t high. When we get to the divisional matches, it probably won’t be this easy.”
Jin Feifan: “…”
Jin Feifan instantly felt that the conversation couldn’t continue.
“By the way, how did you do?” Qiao Sang asked.
“You haven’t checked the first-year School Team group, have you?” Jin Feifan asked with a definitive tone.
Qiao Sang honestly said, “I haven’t.”
“I knew it.” Jin Feifan muttered, “All members of our school’s first-year School Team have advanced to the knockout rounds.”
Qiao Sang was not surprised by this in the slightest.
Saint Water Middle School has firmly held the position of the perennial second-best in Zhehai Province, so its strength is undeniable.
If someone had been eliminated in the group stage, Saint Water Middle School would not be feared by so many schools.
…
The news of Qiao Sang’s appearance at school quickly spread.
During every class break, a group of heads would be practically pressed against the windows of Class One (1).
When the morning classes ended, Qiao Sang had just stood up, but when she turned her head, she saw a bunch of people outside looking at her with shining eyes.
It couldn’t be, right? Wasn’t it just advancing to the third-year knockout rounds…
Thinking of the scene where she might be “eaten alive” if she went out, Qiao Sang sat back down.
“Qiao Sang, do you need me to get you something to eat?” Jin Feifan hesitated for a while, but still got up and decided to go out.
According to how she was at the beginning of the school year, as a social phobic, she definitely wouldn’t dare to walk through such a crowd under so many stares to get outside.
But after half a month of competitions, Jin Feifan’s social phobia had lessened considerably.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “No need.”
Jin Feifan was stunned for a moment: “You’re not eating?”
“I am.” Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and smiled: “I’ll let Qunbao take me out.”
After saying that, she called out, “Qunbao.”
“Xun~”
Qunbao appeared.
Jin Feifan showed an expression of sudden realization from the side.
She understood. Qiao Sang wanted Treasure Hunting Fairy to clear the way! Under the deterrence of a Ghost-type Pet, others would definitely not dare to approach!
Just then, Qiao Sang said, “Use Space Movement.”
“Xun~”
Qunbao chirped, then floated onto her Yu Beast Master’s head.
Space Movement? Jin Feifan was momentarily stunned.
Before she could react, Qiao Sang and Treasure Hunting Fairy simultaneously vanished from their original spot.
Jin Feifan: “!!!”
Students still in the classroom: “!!!”
Students with their heads pressed against the windows outside the classroom: “!!!”
…
Qiao Sang opened her eyes and found herself in a small space.
Looking down, it was the school’s restroom.
Qiao Sang immediately nodded with satisfaction.
Ever since she discovered that Qunbao had learned Space Movement, she had Qunbao practice for an hour every night.
After all, the Space Movement skill was too practical. If she could master the coordinates of movement earlier, she could wake up one minute before class every morning.
Now, it seemed the training effect was remarkable. Qunbao moved to a very precise location, neither too far nor too close.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to praise Qunbao and go out, a boy’s voice came from outside:
“I heard that Qiao Sang from the first year is at school today. Aren’t you going to take a look?”
The next second, a “whoosh” sound rang out.
If this sound had been in a different place, Qiao Sang might not have thought much of it.
But now, she immediately recognized it as the sound of urinating.
… Qiao Sang’s face suddenly stiffened.
Another boy’s voice, clearly different in tone, spoke: “What for? I can’t even finish my test papers. I don’t have time to join the fun.”
The two talked for a few more sentences, followed by footsteps. When the restroom returned to silence, Qiao Sang expressionlessly picked Qunbao down from her head.
“Xun~”
Qunbao blinked innocently.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to use impolite words, and calmly analyzed her current situation.
If she let Qunbao use Space Movement again, who knows where it would go. It was best to seize the moment while no one was outside and quickly leave…
Qiao Sang listened carefully to the movements outside, confirmed that there was no one, and then with a “click,” she opened the restroom door.
Damn it, it really was the men’s restroom…
Qiao Sang ran out at the fastest speed of her life, head down, as if sprinting a hundred meters.
When she reached the corner of the staircase, Qiao Sang held Qunbao up to her eyes and said very seriously, “From now on, the time you practice Space Movement every night will be increased by one hour.”
“Xun…”
