Cheng Huaijin successfully obtained a ticket to the National Grand Prix, which he then gave to Fang Juexia, receiving a big hug and Fang Juexia's secret-recipe tiramisu in return.

The Thunder Sprite says it's delicious!

Perhaps because of Cheng Huaijin's outstanding performance in the PK competition, the classmates gradually began to center around Cheng Huaijin and started calling her "Sister Cheng".

Well... actually, Cheng Huaijin is indeed older than them.

The other students all discovered their talents at the age of 12 and entered junior high school, but she, Fang Juexia, and Xia Chouyu were admitted at the age of 13.

Moreover, in terms of actual age, Cheng Huaijin was older than all of them.

However, Cheng Huaijin was still a little unaccustomed to the sudden change in his classmates' attitude towards him.

The battle at Qianluo Park over the weekend completely boosted Cheng Huaijin's reputation among middle school Beast Tamers in Dongcheng City. Not to mention the students from his own school, students from other schools would often linger at the school gate, wanting to see Cheng Huaijin and his impressive Thunder Spirit in person.

These were all minor matters to Cheng Huaijin. The most important thing now was to focus on his studies; the final exams were coming up!

The final exams for Beast Tamers are quite different from those for ordinary people. In addition to closed-book written exams, there are also practical Beast Taming skills tests, Beast Testing, Beast Tamer Tests, and essays.

That's right, a thesis.

Each school has its own special subjects that are not included in the unified examination, but are counted in the student's grades at that school.

For example, the six courses "Beast Taming History", "Beast Data Science", "Beast Language and Communication", "Beast Ecology and Conservation", "Beast Breeding", and "Beast Awakening and Evolution" are required for all first-year junior high school students. The exam questions are standardized throughout the city, and the final exam is ranked citywide.

The "Beast Taming Skills Practice" course is a practical course on beast taming. Because the actual attributes of pets are different, this course is assessed by each teacher independently, and the assessment is included in the student's school grade but not in the city-wide ranking.

The three courses, "Beast Taming Theory," "Combat Strategy and Command," and "Herbal Medicine and Pet Health," are special courses offered by Yaotian Junior High School. Other schools do not teach these courses. During the final exams, the teachers of Yaotian Junior High School are responsible for assessing these three courses. The assessment usually uses a combination of daily grades and the final paper.

Therefore, final exams cannot be completed in just one or two days; they usually last for a month, which is what students commonly refer to as the exam month.

Cheng Huaijin was quite used to this, feeling it was similar to the university exam season in his previous life.

Studying for exams and rushing to finish papers at the same time, I'm really busy!

Despite being busy, Cheng Huaijin did not neglect his care for his pets.

The dragon egg's level is steadily increasing. The last time Cheng Huaijin checked the dragon egg's information, it had slowly risen to level 29. He wondered when it would reach level 30.

The little armored tiger is rather lazy and prefers to stay in the pet space, but Cheng Huaijin will call it out every day for three hours of training.

As for Jolteon, it spends most of its time outside. Unlike the little Iron Tiger, Jolteon has its own ideas about battles and skills. Cheng Huaijin often discusses training with it, and they also watch exciting battles together, sharing their opinions.

Cheng Huaijin's day is always packed with activities, and he has to squeeze in meals and rest whenever he can.

Fortunately, judging from the exam results, the score should be good.

The six courses, "Beast Taming History," "Beast Data Science," "Beast Language and Communication," "Beast Ecology and Conservation," "Beast Breeding," and "Beast Awakening and Evolution," were all scheduled for unified examinations. One course was tested every half day, and the exams were completed in three consecutive days before grading began. Cheng Huaijin did well on all of them. After all, it was only at the first-year junior high school level, and Cheng Huaijin was able to handle it.

The "Beast Taming Skills Practice" and the Beast Tamer Test included some standard items, and were not even as intense as the training for the school team.

For example, you could test your pet's ability to complete commands by having it carry things through different locations and put the corresponding items down at the appropriate locations.

...That's practically an insult to the intelligence of the Thunder Elf.

Another example is testing a beast tamer's ability to perceive energy, asking them to write down the elements they sense. This was no challenge for Cheng Huaijin; he answered almost instantly.

Watching other students scratching their heads as they wrote down answers, and some even falling asleep in the exam room... Cheng Huaijin felt that he should be able to get first place in this exam.

The remaining three subjects, which required writing papers, were a bit more troublesome, as writing papers really tests one's accumulated knowledge. Although Cheng Huaijin had paid attention to beast taming knowledge before, she was still far behind her classmates who had been exposed to it since childhood. So she had no choice but to spend countless hours in the library, frantically searching for information.

Whenever she got tired of studying in the library, she would poke the Thunder Elf who was sleeping on the table to wake it up.

Hmph, sleeping soundly! How can you still sleep at your age!

LeiJing is indeed quite cute, round and chubby, and it even makes a couple of soft whimpering noises when it sleeps, attracting the attention of many classmates. Cheng Huaijin turns a blind eye to the classmates secretly taking pictures of LeiJing's sleeping posture. Who told it to sleep? Let's record all its ugly sleeping poses, hahaha!

For a time, a small wave of RaiJi emoji packs even became popular on Renren.com.

This is what Fang Juexia and Cheng Huaijin said; Cheng Huaijin really doesn't have time to go on the forum.

After working for more than half a month, I finally finished the paper three days before the deadline and sent it to my teacher.

The last paper I completed was "Combat Strategy and Command," titled "An Analysis of the Impact of the Relationship Between Beastmasters and Pets on Combat."

Cheng Huaijin felt that her writing was not bad. After all, she had experienced so many battles with Black Egg Beast, Super Fantasy, Thunder Elf, Little Ironclad Tiger, and Green Leaf Lembo. She had vaguely developed her own understanding of beast-taming combat and was beginning to form her own fighting style.
