Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 506: Lessermodo
The car door swung open, and a group of people stepped out.
…
Sainan High School, located in the Third District, is one of the top five prestigious schools on Super Dormant Star.
It accepts students from 13 to 18 years old and has both a junior high and a senior high division.
When a prestigious school becomes highly renowned, it’s no longer just about having money to get in.
After all, there are too many wealthy people in the world; Sainan High School places more emphasis on a student’s talent, knowledge reserves, abilities, and family background, among a series of other factors.
Although many students apply each year, the admission rate is extremely low.
As a globally recognized top-tier aristocratic school, setting aside its teaching resources, the school spans over a thousand acres, an incredibly vast area in a place like the Third District where every inch of land is precious.
All students have their own private dorm rooms, and each dormitory building is equipped with qualified caregivers, while Trainers also visit daily to check on the Pets’ conditions.
All of the above were details Qiao Sang found on the Star Net after arriving on Super Dormant Star.
Even though she had looked at pictures of Sainan High School online before coming, Qiao Sang was still awestruck after getting out of the car.
On either side of the main gate stood dozens of meters tall statues of Pets that were unidentifiable: their faces resembled wolves, their necks had two rings, they possessed huge wings, their tails were also encircled by two rings, and the tips of their tails were pointed like an awl.
Their exquisite carving and magnificent aura already hinted at the grandiosity and luxury within.
“What kind of Pet is this?” Tang Yi asked, pointing at the statue.
As both escort and guide, Officer Chen replied:
“It’s called Laisaimoduo, a legendary Pet on Super Dormant Star. Legend has it that it bestowed upon Pets the wisdom to understand human speech.”
“How could that be?” Yang Jiayi retorted, “It’s a Pet from Super Dormant Star, but Pets on Blue Star and other planets can also understand human speech.”
Tang Yi glanced at her, “They said it’s a legend.”
Yang Jiayi looked at him, thinking, ‘Are you trying to argue with me, kid?’
Of course, she still appeared very refined on the surface; no one knew her inner thoughts.
Laisaimoduo… It’s even placed as a statue at the school gate, so it must be very important. It might even be on a test later, probably a knowledge point. Looks like I’ll have to look it up when I get back… Qiao Sang instinctively thought about the exam.
At that moment, the main gate slowly opened.
A well-dressed Middle-aged White Man walked out, accompanied by a bear-like Pet of about one meter tall, with light brown fur, also wearing clothes.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Cadra, and my Dragon Country name is Jiang Tongyuan,” the Middle-aged White Man said, extending his hand as he approached.
Officer Chen had already made a call from the car, so he wasn’t surprised to be met.
He extended his hand and shook the other’s, “My name is Chen Chen.”
He then looked to the side and introduced, “These three are the exchange students sent by our Dragon Country this time.”
The Middle-aged White Man withdrew his hand, examining Qiao Sang and the others, his gaze finally settling on the Tooth Treasure being held by Qiao Sang.
He opened his mouth as if to say something but held back.
The Middle-aged Man made a “please” gesture and smiled, “I’ll show you around the school first.”
The bear-like Pet also made a “please” gesture in sync with him.
Officer Chen nodded slightly, leading Qiao Sang and the others to follow Jiang Tongyuan through the school gate.
“The school hasn’t started yet, so there aren aren’t many people inside, but tomorrow is the first day of school, and it will get lively then,” Jiang Tongyuan explained as they walked.
Qiao Sang listened silently beside him.
Jiang Tongyuan led the four of them on a tour of the senior high division, introducing the school buildings they passed along the way, then turned and said:
“Mr. Chen, I will now be responsible for taking them to their respective dormitories. You can rest assured.”
I am at ease, why wouldn’t I be at ease…? Officer Chen was a bit confused and said, “Of course, I’m at ease.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tongyuan did not lead the way towards the dormitories but looked at Officer Chen with a smile.
You should go, why are you smiling at me…? Officer Chen looked utterly bewildered.
After three seconds of mutual staring, Jiang Tongyuan smiled and said, “Mr. Chen, outsiders are not allowed into the dormitories.”
Meaning, you can leave now… Qiao Sang translated in her mind.
Officer Chen finally understood.
He could have just said so, why be so subtle…? Officer Chen grumbled inwardly, while on the surface, he showed a polite smile: “I understand.”
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the three of them, his smile becoming genuine:
“I’ll see you off here. Study hard and don’t disappoint the nation’s expectations.”
“Got it!” The three replied with such lightheartedness, showing no hint of reluctance.
Officer Chen: “…”
“Gentleman Bear, see Mr. Chen off,” Jiang Tongyuan said.
“Gentle, gentle.”
Gentleman Bear nodded, then made a “please” gesture towards Officer Chen.
After Officer Chen left, Jiang Tongyuan did not take them to the dormitories but instead went to an office.
The four of them entered the office one after another.
Jiang Tongyuan turned to close the door, then walked directly to the desk, pressed a few buttons on a password-protected drawer, and pulled out a blue box also secured with a password.
“You should take this in the morning. The night before taking it, make sure to go to bed early so your brain gets enough rest for the best effect,” he said while entering the password:
“Weil Elixir takes effect immediately, so as soon as you take it, you must begin Meditation.”
As he finished speaking, the password input was complete.
The box opened, revealing three transparent, sealed vials, inside which a white liquid could be seen.
The moment they saw the vials, Tang Yi and Yang Jiayi’s breathing quickened slightly.
Jiang Tongyuan handed over the three vials one by one.
Weil Elixir? What is that? Qiao Sang keenly noticed that Tang Yi’s hand trembled slightly as he took the vial.
She glanced at the vial in her hand, weighed it, and felt nothing special about it.
Jiang Tongyuan observed the reactions of the three transfer students before him, his gaze finally settling on the youngest-looking girl, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.
Although this student was overly doting on her Pet, constantly holding it—a common issue among most Yu Beast Masters on Blue Star that could be corrected during school—her ability to remain unfazed and composed in the face of Weil Elixir, as if viewing an ordinary potion, showed a superior demeanor that not just anyone could achieve.
At this moment, Qiao Sang asked, “What is Weil Elixir?”
Jiang Tongyuan: “???”
No, I just praised you for having a superior demeanor, and now you’re telling me you don’t even know what Weil Elixir is?
Tang Yi and Yang Jiayi were stunned, looking bewildered, seemingly not expecting Qiao Sang to ask that question.
Weil Elixir is so important, didn’t Qiao Sang’s elders tell her? That shouldn’t be the case, should it?
Jiang Tongyuan was silent for a few seconds, then explained:
“It is a rare resource that can develop brain regions without any side effects.”
So there’s something in this world that can develop brain regions without any side effects. It seems I haven’t studied enough, to not even know about this. Qiao Sang glanced at the vial in her hand, her expression calm.
