Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 517: You have to pretend to be this cool, right?

“If there are no surprises, the last lesson of your wilderness practical will also take place in the Lower Tenth District.”

Upon hearing this, the students in the class didn’t react much.

It was true that the Lower Tenth District was a high-risk area, but they came from prominent backgrounds, so their families would definitely send escorts if they went to such a place.

“However, as for which specific district you’ll go to, you’ll have to ask your Teacher Heller.” The geography teacher smiled, “I’ve strayed too far. Let’s continue talking about the Upper Tenth District…”

Because she was certain that the content of this class wouldn’t be on the college entrance exam, Qiao Sang’s thoughts were uncharacteristically unfocused.

If the Lower Tenth District was truly teeming with wild Pets and Yu Beast Masters frequently needed to resolve issues there, then it would be perfect for racking up Points…

One must know that most secret realms on Super Dormant Star required certain conditions to enter…

Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of class.

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, pulled out her phone, and prepared to continue reading about Heart Power.

The matter of Points wasn’t urgent right now. She had to prepare for exams, and she was in the Third District, quite far from the Lower Tenth District. A round trip would take several days, so she simply didn’t have the time.

The webpage jumped. She had just glanced at it when footsteps entered from outside the door.

The classroom instantly quieted.

Qiao Sang instinctively turned off her phone and shoved it into her drawer.

“Uh, why does this scene feel so familiar…” Qiao Sang muttered to herself, raising her head. She saw a Pet with a very large head, mostly pink all over, dressed in a formal suit and leather shoes, walking towards her.

The classmates in the room all turned their gazes to the incoming Pet, their expressions surprised.

“Isn’t that Director Ma’s Pet? Why is it here?”

“It’s walking towards the exchange student.”

“What does Director Ma want with the exchange student?”

“Miao Miao~”

The pink Pet stopped beside Qiao Sang, baring its teeth in a friendly gesture.

“The Director’s Pet?” Qiao Sang listened to the conversations of the surrounding classmates, looked at the Pet in front of her, and asked, “Is something wrong?”

The pink Pet opened its mouth.

A small puff of white smoke immediately sprayed out from its mouth.

The smoke did not disperse but converged and twisted in different directions, forming a line of text that hovered in the air:

【The Directors are all waiting for you. I’m here to pick you up】

Not only Qiao Sang saw this text, but everyone else did too.

“The Directors, plural…” The classmates in the class had subtle expressions for a moment.

Inside a spacious office, soft lights shone from above.

The decor inside exuded luxury and high-end taste everywhere.

Nine high-ranking school leaders with various skin and hair colors sat on sofas or high-backed chairs.

This was the scene Qiao Sang saw when she pushed the door open and entered.

One of the black elderly men waved his hand, and the pink Pet beside Qiao Sang disappeared.

The Middle-aged Man sitting at the only desk got straight to the Point: “Doctor Guo said your brain region reached 39%. We’re here to retest you. If the data is correct, you can get an additional 500 Points.”

“500 Points!” Qiao Sang’s heart immediately burned with excitement, and she instantly replied, “No problem!”

From the sofa, a young man about 24 years old, with red hair and dressed in a white suit, motioned towards the center and said, “Just sit there and put on the testing device.”

This brain region testing device was somewhat different from what Qiao Sang had seen before. It was lighter and more portable, and the display was not external but located on the forehead.

“Brain region testing devices even have this kind of model…” Qiao Sang put on the device.

Everyone’s gazes instantly converged.

The data on the display on her forehead flickered, then quickly settled:

【39%】

For a moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Although they knew the School Doctor couldn’t have reported it carelessly, seeing it with their own eyes was still somewhat shocking.

Was a 39% brain region terrifying?

Not terrifying.

But when the person who developed a 39% brain region was less than 16 years old, then it was quite terrifying.

The blond man sitting in the high-backed chair subtly glanced at the red-haired young man. Even a genius like Corwin only broke through 30% of his brain region when he was 19.

This guy was usually nowhere to be seen, but this time, upon receiving the news, he arrived first on both days. He probably didn’t believe there was anyone in the world with talent so much more monstrous than his.

The atmosphere in the office was silent for a moment; no one spoke.

A few seconds later, the Middle-aged Man at the desk looked at Qiao Sang and said seriously, “The test results are correct. 500 Points will be added to you shortly.”

Qiao Sang’s heart swelled with joy upon hearing this, and she said, “Thank you, Teacher!”

The black-haired woman in a black dress chuckled:

“He’s the Principal.”

“Thank you, Principal!” Qiao Sang immediately corrected herself.

The Middle-aged Man’s attitude was gentle: “I saw in your file that you were originally a first-year high school student and only started your third year of high school after coming here. Are you planning to take the college entrance exam this year?”

Qiao Sang scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and gave an “Mm” sound.

“You spent half a year participating in competitions. It might be difficult to complete three years of high school in half a year now, and the courses taught on Super Dormant Star are actually somewhat different from those on Blue Star,” the Middle-aged Man said:

“If you’re willing, I can arrange for a teacher to tutor you individually.”

Everyone understood in their hearts that the Principal was sending a signal of goodwill.

When a new Yu Beast Master’s talent was monstrous to an unprecedented degree, whether they were from the same planet became less important. After all, with starships, high-level Yu Beast Masters had long lifespans, and they might get bored and stay on other planets for a long time.

Furthermore, the Principal was also a Dragon Country native.

“Absolutely not necessary…” Qiao Sang shook her head and refused, “No need, I can study on my own.”

After her brain region broke through, her memory became even better. She could understand the books; all she lacked was time.

Qiao Sang returned to the classroom in a joyful mood.

The surrounding classmates all cast their gazes over.

“The Directors looked for you, and a whole group of them. What was it about?” As soon as Qiao Sang sat down, Tang Yi impatiently asked.

“Nothing much. Just that my brain region broke through, and they wanted to retest it,” Qiao Sang said.

Brain region breakthrough? Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, just about to say something else.

At this moment, a red-haired girl walked over and smiled:

“Qiao Sang, you haven’t joined our class group chat yet, have you? Do you want to join?”

Qiao Sang turned her head and recognized the person as Laffey, who had come to her on the first day of school wanting to compete.

However, after that day, they had no further interaction.

Strictly speaking, she hadn’t interacted with any other classmates in the class either, except for Tang Yi.

“That.” Tang Yi raised his hand and said, “I haven’t joined the group yet either.”

“I didn’t ask you to join…” Laffey’s smile was sweet: “Let’s all join.”

It was just joining a group, so Qiao Sang naturally had no objection.

After joining the group, Laffey asked, seemingly casually, “Oh, right, what did the Directors want with you just now?”

Each classmate in the class pricked up their ears to listen to the commotion here.

“Just a brain region test,” Qiao Sang said.

“Why test your brain region?” Laffey asked, puzzled.

“Because it broke through, they wanted to confirm it,” Qiao Sang said.

“Just a brain region breakthrough? Why would a group of Directors pay attention to that?” Laffey was a bit skeptical and asked, “How much did your brain region break through to?”

“You really want me to show off, huh?” Qiao Sang’s tone was calm: “39%.”

Laffey: “???”

Tang Yi: “???”

All classmates: “???”
