Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 738: Dean of Coordination College
After adding the contact information of the Nurturing Institute’s Dean and arranging to learn how to make Energy Pills from him at any time, Qiao Sang walked home in a daze.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Seeing that her Yu Beast Master had not indicated for it to use Space Movement to return directly, Xiao Xunbao fully immersed itself in the black flower before it.
She had added Dean Linus Borg’s contact information?
And he was going to personally teach her?
How could she, a nobody, be so highly regarded by such a powerful figure?
Qiao Sang walked along the road, feeling utterly bewildered.
As she was thinking, a shower of red petals suddenly drifted down, and a rich, sweet fragrance filled her nostrils.
Qiao Sang instinctively looked up.
She saw a Pet about one meter tall, with a vibrant red body and a green lower half, with wavy patterns like a skirt around its waist, resembling a flower. This Pet gracefully landed on the ground amidst the curtain of petals.
Guilianni, a Grass-type King-level Pet, possesses a natural body fragrance, pays great attention to its appearance, and is skilled at grooming. It is a Pet born with elegance, but maintaining the vivid color of its body requires a lot of effort. It is said that it trusts Yu Beast Masters who groom it thoroughly but will not be close to lazy Yu Beast Masters… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet before her, and relevant information flashed through her mind.
Then she thought of something and her gaze fell to Guilianni’s wrist, where she indeed saw a pink, miniature shrinking bracelet.
Qiao Sang was not surprised to see a King-level Pet on campus.
Most of the mentors and doctors here had King-level Pets, and some postgraduate students had even nurtured their Pets to King-level.
Guilianni walked over with elegant steps, its paw extended forward.
The still-falling petals instantly gathered to form a delicate rose in its paw.
“Gui Gui.”
Guilianni offered the rose forward.
Qiao Sang was stunned: “For me?”
“Gui Gui.” Guilianni nodded.
“Thank you.” Although Qiao Sang was a bit confused, she still took the rose.
“Gui Gui.” Guilianni extended its paw again and condensed petals into another rose, offering it to Yabao.
“Yaya…”
Yabao stared at the flower before it, deliberated for a moment, and then, to be polite, took it.
At this moment, an old voice sounded: “I see your Pet has flowing fur, bright eyes, and a majestic and magnificent appearance. It’s a good prospect for training and Coordination. How about it, are you interested in coming to our Coordination Academy?”
Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the voice.
It was an old white woman with white hair.
Her hair was not specially dyed, her skin was fair without age spots, and she wore only light, natural makeup. Her upright posture exuded an air of nobility and elegance that made one overlook her attire.
From her facial features, it was not difficult to tell that she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.
The Dean of the Coordination Academy, Shirley Hayek.
Because the other party’s image was so memorable, Qiao Sang immediately realized that she was one of the nine powerful figures on the stage earlier.
“Dean Shirley Hayek?” Qiao Sang looked surprised.
Dean Shirley approached, smiling elegantly: “You know me?”
Such a graceful and beautiful elder is truly rare… Qiao Sang said with a serious expression: “Of course, how could I not recognize you?”
Dean Shirley subtly assessed the young girl and the Pet in her arms.
If she had previously thought that the other party had a bright future, very likely to participate in the Interstellar Cup and win a prize, adding a significant achievement to their academy, now she genuinely felt that the young girl before her was indeed suitable for the Coordination Academy.
“Are you interested in coming to our Coordination Academy?” Dean Shirley asked again.
Huh? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned: “Can one just transfer between academies?”
“Others, of course not.” Dean Shirley smiled: “But you are an exception.”
Qiao Sang was utterly bewildered; she never expected a powerful figure in the Coordination circle to say, “You are an exception,” to her.
Could it be that she really had a great talent for being a Pet Coordinator?
Enough for someone to see it at a glance?
“How about it, would you like to come watch a Coordination Competition? Perhaps you and your Pet will like it.” Seeing that Qiao Sang did not answer immediately, Dean Shirley was prepared and pulled out an invitation from her portable Coordination bag.
She believed that the Coordination Competition, with its ultimate visual enjoyment, would sway the young girl before her.
“Yaya.”
Yabao waved its paw, indicating it did not like it.
It had watched various competition channels with Xiao Xunbao since it was young, so it naturally knew what a Coordination Competition was.
Coordination Competitions had battles, but the deduction system within them confused it, and the final battles always felt a bit unsatisfying.
It felt like everyone fought too politely.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao had long been attracted by Guilianni’s grand entrance. It floated over, raising its paw, looking excited, indicating it was interested!
Qiao Sang: “…”
You’re interested in everything… Qiao Sang heard Xiao Xunbao’s voice, collected her thoughts, and grumbled inwardly.
Transferring academies was naturally impossible.
Her goal had always been firm, but with such a powerful figure right in front of her, and an invitation extended, directly refusing would be too disrespectful.
Qiao Sang took the invitation and said tactfully:
“Thank you, I will go, but I probably still prefer to be a Professional Beast Tamer.”
Dean Shirley smiled:
“Being a Professional Beast Tamer and a Pet Coordinator are not in conflict. Historically, there have been many famous individuals who were both Professional Beast Tamers and Professional Pet Coordinators, achieving great success in both fields. I think you can too.”
Saying that, she pulled out another very textured black business card:
“When you’ve made up your mind, feel free to contact me anytime.”
“…Okay.” Qiao Sang took the business card.
To be honest, she had been praised before, but being praised by a powerful figure felt completely different.
“Then I’ll be leaving.”
As Dean Shirley finished speaking, Guilianni at her side raised its paw.
In an instant, the petals that had stopped falling reappeared out of thin air, spinning and dancing around Dean Shirley and Guilianni, obscuring their figures.
When the petals finished falling, Dean Shirley and Guilianni had also disappeared from where they stood.
Holy cow, even their exit was so well-designed… But she remembered Guilianni was a Grass-type Pet; it shouldn’t have any skills that could make people disappear on the spot, right… Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, feeling very confused.
At this moment, a low, somewhat hoarse voice sounded:
“This is just a small trick. Guilianni’s petals can obscure one’s vision for a certain period, making people focus on the petals. In reality, it simultaneously scatters pollen, and its pollen has an invisibility effect.”
Doesn’t that mean Dean Shirley is still nearby… Will she hear this? Is it really okay to expose it directly like this… Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly as she turned her head, seeing a Middle-aged Man with gray eyes, brown hair, and a handsome face with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
“Let me introduce myself, I am Gao Fuqi, the Dean of the Mechanical Academy.” The Middle-aged Man smiled slightly: “I think you have a great talent for learning mechanics. Are you interested in coming to our Mechanical Academy?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
