When she returned to school, Cheng Huaijin felt she had become completely famous.
Especially with Chao Huan as her eye-catching person, stepping on her head is just too much of a show-off.
Specifically, this manifests as—
"Wow! Look! It's a super fantasy!"
"So cute!! It's waving at us!"
Chao Huan stood on top of Cheng Huaijin's head, scattering food from every angle. Seeing Chao Huan's enthusiasm, the classmates all asked to take photos with him.
After all, it's rare for a small city like Dongcheng to have high-level pets!
So Cheng Huaijin was forced to half-squat to keep Chao Huan and the classmates taking photos at the same level.
...It feels like they're doing physical training, does anyone know what that means!
In the afternoon's "Combat Strategy and Command" class, Cheng Huaijin asked Fang Juexia, "Do you know why Song Siyun asked for leave?"
Fang Juexia was directing the Styx Jellyfish to embroider words with its tentacles. Teacher Qian had assigned everyone a class task: to guide their pets to complete an embroidery piece. The more complex and realistic the embroidery, the higher the score, which would be included in the final exam. Therefore, everyone was working very hard at embroidering! Embroidering! Embroidering!
"Didn't Song Siyun tell you? Weren't you two competing together?" Fang Juexia immediately stopped the Styx jellyfish when it saw it about to use its venom to corrode the embroidery. "Oh my, my little princess, don't get angry!"
The Styx jellyfish thrashed its tentacles in protest, splashing its dark green liquid onto many people.
Hey! What are you doing?!
"You scared me!"
It got smeared on my embroidery!
Teacher Qian walked over, her face serious, and said, "Fang Juexia, your pet's socialization level isn't high enough. Should we pause the precision training for now?"
Fang Juexia immediately said with a meek expression, "I promise it will never happen again, teacher!"
Teacher Qian shook his head in exasperation, but then nodded in satisfaction upon seeing Chao Huan's work: "Not bad, not bad at all. As expected of a high-level pet beast. Everyone, come and take a look."
A large crowd gathered around, showering the fantastical work with praise.
"Art!"
"Look at these snow-capped mountains! How majestic and imposing they are!"
"My goodness! The choice of materials is so unique; compared to some other people's chosen bows, the overall style is completely different!"
"Hey, who are you subtly criticizing?"
...
Cheng Huaijin and Chao Huan were squeezed out of the crowd, listening to Teacher Qian praise Chao Huan's work.
Cheng Huaijin asked suspiciously, "Why are you embroidering a snow-capped mountain? Do you want to go mountain climbing?"
Chao Huan said innocently, "Huan Huan."
- I drew a super big steamed bun.
Cheng Huaijin: For the sake of my grades, let this beautiful misunderstanding continue as it is.
Fang Juexia finally managed to appease the Styx Jellyfish. She wiped away non-existent sweat and plopped down next to Cheng Huaijin: "This is just a rumor, don't tell anyone."
"What?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
Fang Juexia said, "Song Siyun didn't ask for leave, she dropped out of school."
"What?" Cheng Huaijin exclaimed in surprise, "Why?"
Fang Juexia said with a regretful expression, "Her Cauliflower Beast suddenly evolved into a Flower Shadow Beast, and then was defeated by your Super Illusion and regressed into a Flower Bud Beast. It's strange no matter how you look at it, right? Then someone investigated, and although they didn't find anything illegal on the Cauliflower Beast, it's said that Song Siyun's grandfather was extremely angry and insisted that Song Siyun throw away the Flower Bud Beast and contract a new pet beast."
"Song Siyun didn't agree, did she?" Cheng Huaijin said.
Fang Juexia snapped his fingers: "Bingo! I didn't expect the model student Song Siyun to stand up for herself this time, resolutely refusing to abandon the Flower Bud Beast, which infuriated her grandfather. But she was so persistent that she ended up having him hospitalized. And guess what happened in the end?"
Cheng Huaijin asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Juexia said with some admiration, "Song Siyun has become completely disobedient. Her grandfather won't let her continue studying at Yaotian, saying he's spent so much money raising a good-for-nothing, and sent her away. Apparently, she's been sent to Weishi."
"Weishi? What is this place?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
Fang Juexia said, "I'm not very familiar with it either. It's just a small, third-tier county town, pretty backward anyway. I heard the elements there are extremely scarce, so I doubt the Flower Bud Beast can evolve into a Cauliflower Beast."
Cheng Huaijin, however, could understand Song Siyun's choice. Even if the Flower Bud Beast was weak, it was still her Flower Bud Beast, while the Flower Shadow Beast clearly did not belong to her. Perhaps for Song Siyun, becoming a Beast Tamer was not her dream, but rather her grandfather's dream.
The principal's office of Yaotian Junior High School.
"I disagree!" Guan Shanyue refused sternly. "It was agreed beforehand that if my student could get first place, she would get a spot in the middle school beast-taming league. How can you just go back on your word like that?"
Principal Ai said with a bitter expression, "Xiao Guan, it's not that I don't want to give you a spot, I've already told you, it's just that the higher-ups don't agree."
"Tell me! Which document said that? I'm going to find him!" Guan Shanyue asked.
Principal Ai said helplessly, "Oh dear, you know how unfortunate it was last time when Chen Yuwei from our school only got second place. This time, the previous first-place student went abroad to study, so sending Chen Yuwei would definitely guarantee her first place! Plus, with Chen Yuwei's previous grades, she could apply for early admission to Huacheng University!"
Guan Shanyue waved his hand: "Don't mention that Chen Yuwei. Do you think I don't know her capabilities? Did she raise that Ice Spirit Fox herself? Even without the previous champion, she wouldn't have gotten first place this time, while my teammate Cheng Huaijin definitely can!"
Principal Ai asked, "You have that much confidence in her?"
Guan Shanyue countered, "Have you ever seen a Beastmaster who can learn energy circulation in just one afternoon? Have you ever seen a Black Egg Beast evolve into a Super Illusionary Beast?"
Principal Ai pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case... I'll be honest with you. Chen Yuwei's parents want to guarantee her the championship this time, and I really can't do anything about it. But I have another opportunity, which is no worse than the opportunity in the Middle School Beast Taming League."
Guan Shanyue looked incredulous: "What?"
Principal Ai took an invitation from the drawer and handed it to Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue looked at the familiar invitation: "The Mist Cup?"
"Yes." Principal Ai nodded. "The Mist Cup Beast Taming Challenge, are your team members brave enough to participate?"
