Chapter 846: Dean Theresa Dwight (two in one)

The sky was a clear blue, and the sunlight was just right, casting shimmering waves across the boundless sea.

Flying-type Pets soared in the sky, and Water-type Pets occasionally leaped out of the water.

So many people… Qiao Sang held Ya Bao and lined up at a nearby operation desk.

The brown-haired girl in front was enjoying the surrounding scenery, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a brilliant red behind her, suddenly turning her head and exclaiming with interest, “Oh?” She asked, “Qiao Sang, what kind of Pet is that?”

“Flame Qilu,” Qiao Sang replied.

“Do you mind if I take a picture?” the brown-haired girl asked.

Qiao Sang said, “I don’t mind.”

The brown-haired girl took out her phone and aimed the camera at Ya Bao.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao was very familiar with being photographed, habitually puffing out his chest and striking a handsome pose.

Seeing this, the brown-haired girl couldn’t help but smile, “This Pet of yours is quite interesting.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she caught sight of Steel Treasure appearing from behind Qiao Sang’s head, and her eyes lit up again:

“Is this Pet also yours?”

Qiao Sang glanced at Steel Treasure and hummed in affirmation.

While aiming at Steel Treasure and taking a “click” photo, the girl asked, “What’s its name?”

“Steel Slash Giant Falcon.”

Steel Slash Giant Falcon, Giant? The girl subconsciously glanced at Steel Treasure’s claws and, sure enough, saw the miniature shrinking bracelet.

She withdrew her gaze, admired the photos she had taken, and then, as if remembering something, asked,

“Qiao Sang, what’s your major?”

Qiao Sang answered every question, “Beast Taming Department.”

The girl’s spirits lifted, “What a coincidence, I’m also in the Beast Taming Department.”

She asked with great interest, “What year are you in, and which class?”

“First year, Di Class,” Qiao Sang said.

The girl froze for a moment, then pouted, losing interest in the conversation.

Who didn’t know that there was only one Di Class in the entire Pet Tamer Academy? It was a class that even after becoming a graduate student, one might not be able to get into, no matter how hard they tried.

To make such a joke right after starting a conversation, what did she take Di Class for?

That was an existence that all students of the Imperial Beast Academy could not offend.

As thoughts flickered, it was already her turn in line.

The girl placed her student ID card on the operation desk.

A moment later, a Water-type Pet slowly swam to the shore.

She sat alone on the back of the Water-type Pet.

No sooner had she sat down than a massive Water-type Pet, with its upper body blue, its lower skin from chin to tail tip white, a protrusion on its head, and spiral structures on both sides of its head, suddenly shot out of the water.

Milong… almost everyone present was stunned for a moment.

A man in a cyan suit and white shirt sat on Milong’s back, without a trace of water on him.

He looked around and said loudly,

“Who is Qiao Sang?”

Qiao Sang retrieved her student ID card, which she had just placed down, and raised her hand, “Here!”

The man in the suit looked at her and showed a warm smile, “Theresa Dwight asked me to pick you up.”

Theresa Dwight?

Theresa Dwight of the Pet Tamer Academy?!

The brown-haired girl’s eyes widened, and she stared blankly at the man, then at the black-haired girl she had just been talking to, looking utterly bewildered.

She had already recognized the person who came on Milong as one of their Pet Tamer Academy’s instructors.

The people around looked astonished.

To have Theresa Dwight personally send someone to pick her up?

Who on earth was this person?

Qiao Sang ignored the gazes of the people around her and came to the shore, flipping onto Milong’s back.

She was both surprised and unsurprised that someone came to pick her up.

She wasn’t surprised because on the day of registration, the teacher in charge of registration had mentioned that on the first day of school, she just needed to place her student ID card for scanning and wait in place, and someone would pick her up and take her to Di Class.

She was surprised because she hadn’t expected the other party to arrive so quickly; her student ID card had just finished scanning…

Under the astonished, bewildered, and thoughtful gazes of the crowd, Milong swam towards the Imperial Beast Academy.

“I’ve heard about your deeds several times,” the man spoke volubly. “At the age of an ordinary high school student, you cultivated four General-level Pets. Not only are each of them extraordinary, but you also cultivated two Pets to have Ultra-level skills.”

“Looking across the entire Imperial Beast Academy, there has never been a genius like you.”

Qiao Sang’s mouth curved up from the praise, “Oh, it’s nothing. I didn’t teach them anything; my Pets awakened Ultra-level skills themselves during evolution.”

The man had an expression that said, “Don’t be so modest,” and replied, “Without your cultivation, how could your Pets awaken Ultra-level skills?”

She finally understood why Theresa Dwight sent this teacher to pick her up… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“I almost forgot to introduce myself,” the man said. “My name is Wolfgang Viking, and I currently teach third-year students in the Beast Taming Department.”

Qiao Sang thought of something and asked,

“Teacher, you just came out of the water, why aren’t you wet at all?”

Viking smiled and said, “My Milong knows a water-repelling move. When I was underwater just now, it kept the water isolated two meters away.”

No wonder… Qiao Sang finally understood what was going on.

Water Repulsion, a high-level Water-type skill.

It’s not very useful, just able to isolate water within a certain range underwater, and the isolated area can circulate air, similar to a highly skilled water bubble underwater. It’s purely difficult to learn, which is why it’s classified as a high-level skill.

As they conversed, the two had already arrived at the shore of the Imperial Beast Academy.

“Mimi.”

Milong didn’t stop there but flicked its tail and plunged into the water.

The scene before them suddenly changed dramatically.

The clear blue seabed, various rocks and coral reefs, and Water-type Pets slowly swimming around.

Qiao Sang had been underwater in the Ancient Mist region before, and after a flash of amazement in her eyes, she quickly returned to calm.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao was startled, his fur bristling.

Even though he no longer disliked water that much, could he at least be mentally prepared before going into the water!

Qiao Sang sensed Ya Bao’s state and stroked his fur.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao gradually relaxed, and soon, after realizing that he couldn’t touch the surrounding water, he completely relaxed and looked curiously at everything around him.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao appeared, looking excitedly at the scene in the water.

When it saw a Water-type Pet with beautiful scales not far away, it showed a restless expression.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang suddenly said,

“If you want to experience being drowned, go ahead.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao immediately gave up the idea.

“Ice Ai.”

Lu Bao, sensing the change in environment, leaped out of the backpack and jumped onto her Yu Beast Master’s head.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure’s pupils constricted, and he instinctively flapped his wings, moving closer to his Yu Beast Master’s direction.

Qiao Sang sensed Steel Treasure’s state and asked in her mind,

“Do you want to enter the yu beast codex?”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure shook his head, indicating no, while looking around with a wary yet curious gaze.

At this moment, Viking said, “We’ve arrived.”

Qiao Sang followed his gaze and saw a transparent elevator going straight up.

The two stepped into the elevator one after another.

After the elevator doors closed, Qiao Sang hesitated, “Does this elevator go to the ground?”

Viking hummed in affirmation.

Then he seemed to understand something and explained with a smile,

“This elevator isn’t built for fun. Some areas in the Imperial Beast Academy have barriers, so you can’t just walk in from above.”

He paused, then continued, “For example, Di Class, although you can apply to enter, walking above ground requires various detours, which is very troublesome.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before them changed dramatically again.

A clear blue sky, and a backyard like something out of a fairy tale.

Two or three Mechanical-type Pets, not found on the market, wore hats and trimmed peculiar-looking green plants.

“Ya Ya…”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

“Ice Ai…”

“Steel Slash…”

Ya Bao and the others simultaneously showed expressions of being awestruck.

Holy cow, this place is too beautiful… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and stepped out of the elevator.

As she stepped out of the elevator, the three Mechanical-type Pets stopped their work and all looked over.

Qiao Sang watched their eyes change from black to green, then back to black, and then they turned back to continue trimming the green plants.

Viking introduced them:

“These few are responsible for security and checking personnel identities. If personnel not recorded in the data are detected, they will initiate an attack.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, “I thought they were gardeners.”

Upon hearing this, Viking smiled and added,

“When they have nothing else to do, they do indeed act as gardeners.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself, Mechanical-type Pets have such a wide range of uses…

The two chatted idly.

Before long, they arrived at a pavilion supported by multiple pillars.

Two ladies were sitting inside.

One lady had smooth black hair, emerald green eyes, no makeup on her face, and looked to be around thirty years old.

The other lady had half-white hair, fair skin, and noticeable wrinkles.

Qiao Sang recognized at a glance that the older lady was Theresa Dwight, who spoke in the video on the admission notice.

“Dean, she’s here,” Viking said respectfully.

As a dean, strength, qualifications, and achievements were all indispensable, and she held absolute authority among all instructors.

“You may go now,” Theresa Dwight in the pavilion said, then, like a gentle elder, looked at Qiao Sang and said with a smile,

“Come in and sit.”

Viking glanced at the lady in the pavilion who looked to be around thirty years old, then silently turned and left.

Qiao Sang walked into the pavilion holding Ya Bao and greeted,

“Hello, Dean.”

Lu Bao had already jumped back into the backpack at this point.

Theresa Dwight’s gaze first fell on Ya Bao and Steel Treasure, then she glanced at Xiao Xunbao’s invisible location and said earnestly,

“I’ve heard about your deeds in Royal Union Dun, and I’m very happy that you chose our Imperial Beast Academy.”

Qiao Sang blurted out,

“It was the Imperial Beast Academy that chose me first.”

Theresa Dwight smiled upon hearing this, then introduced the lady next to her:

“This is Mi Jiala, an honorary professor at our Imperial Beast Academy and an S-Class Beast Master. For a long time to come, she will be providing you with one-on-one instruction.”

An S-Class Beast Master, a big shot… Qiao Sang immediately looked at the lady who appeared to be only in her thirties and said seriously,

“Hello, Teacher!”

“Hello,” Mi Jiala said with a smile, “I hope we can get along well in the future.”

With the identity of both a teacher and an S-Class Beast Master, how could I not get along well with you… Qiao Sang complained internally, but on the surface, she said without hesitation,

“I’ll be troubling you in the future, Teacher!”

Mi Jiala nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Compared to a monstrous but troublesome student, she naturally preferred a student who was both a genius and obedient.

Otherwise, she would have to be like that guy, who, after taking on a troublesome student, had to constantly clean up after him.

Theresa Dwight slowly said,

“I believe Teacher Pilit should have mentioned the situation of Di Class to you, but he isn’t the teacher who truly instructs Di Class, so there might be some things he isn’t quite clear about.”

She looked at Qiao Sang,

“Every student who enters Di Class will be directly given 10,000 points.”

How much?

How much did you say?

Qiao Sang’s eyes widened suddenly.

Theresa Dwight continued,

“After entering Di Class, we also have standards.”

“What standards?” Qiao Sang quickly asked.

“To become an A-Rank Professional Beastmaster before the age of 50,” Theresa Dwight said. “If you don’t become an A-grade Beastmaster before the age of 50, then you will withdraw from Di Class.”

50 years old, still more than 30 years… feels early… wait… Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and asked,

“I’d like to ask, what’s the age of the oldest student currently in Di Class?”

Theresa Dwight was also stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to ask this question.

She thought for a moment and said, “87 years old.”

Oh my goodness… Qiao Sang was shocked.

So, she was now in the same class as people aged 87?

How would she greet them when she met them in class later?

Hello, Grandpa?

Hello, Grandma?

Theresa Dwight seemed to see Qiao Sang’s confusion and patiently explained,

“The existence of Di Class is to cultivate talents who can participate in the Interstellar Cup, and those who can participate in the Interstellar Cup are S-Class Beast Masters. Therefore, as long as a student can become an S-Class Professional Beast Tamer before the age of 90, they can successfully graduate.”

From a big data perspective, those who can become S-Class Professional Beast Tamers are true big shots, and these people who can become big shots usually start at a hundred years old at least.

90 years old is 90 years, which is 10 years earlier than these big figures. The difficulty… Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, paused, and asked hesitantly,

“I remember the Beast Taming Department I’m studying is a five-year program…”

Holy cow, she just realized a point, a very important point, which is that after entering Di Class, she would be a student for decades?!

This time, it was Mi Jiala who answered:

“Since you’ve entered Di Class, you are naturally different from other students in the Beast Taming Department. For these decades, you will have all the resources of the Imperial Beast Academy and various information channels.”

“Of course, these things also require you to strive for them yourself; they won’t just be placed in front of you.”

“However, other students who graduate will fundamentally cut off their access to these things.”

“You also won’t be like those students carrying textbooks or running around the training grounds every day.”

“We will not restrict your development; we will only promote your growth.”

After listening, Qiao Sang processed it for a few seconds, then nodded and said,

“I understand."(End of chapter)
