"Teacher, please tell us!" a female student from the warrior class pleaded. "Beastmaster"—this was the first time they'd ever heard this term.
"Actually, the academy doesn't allow us to tell you this, for fear that you'll become overly ambitious or lose confidence and motivation, affecting your cultivation. However, you might find out after you leave the academy, especially if you become mercenaries or adventurers." Hearing this, the teacher hesitated for a moment, then, seeing Wang Han looking at him curiously, continued, "As you all know, magical beasts are divided into twelve tiers. Taking swordsmen as an example, tier one magical beasts correspond to ordinary people, tier two to low-level swordsmen, tier three to mid-level swordsmen, tier four to high-level swordsmen, tier five to low-level swordsmen, and tier six to mid-level..." In the game, a seventh-tier magical beast corresponds to a high-level swordsman, an eighth-tier to a great swordsman, a ninth-tier to a low-level swordsman captain, a tenth-tier to a mid-level swordsman captain, an eleventh-tier to a high-level swordsman captain (Dean Ondo is at this level), and a twelfth-tier to a great swordsman captain. However, twelfth tier is not the end of cultivation; above twelfth tier are even more powerful levels called "Envoys," signifying messengers. Mages are called Mage Envoys, swordsmen are called Sword Envoys, summoners are called Summoners, thieves are called Thief Envoys, knights are called Knight Envoys, and other professions follow a similar pattern. Magical beasts are also called Beast Envoys.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Han in surprise. They never expected that Wang Han, who was only twenty years old, would have already surpassed Dean Angdo and become a Summoner.
"Alright, now that everyone knows, let's get ready for bed. Five people will stay tonight to keep watch, divided into four shifts, with each shift keeping watch for two hours," the female teacher said.
——————————————
The night was silent. The students had all fallen asleep, even those on night watch, unaware that their shift had ended. Only Wang Han sat alone by the fire.
"Wang Han, you're still awake? Are you worried about the students keeping watch?" The female teacher saw Wang Han still sitting by the fire and walked towards him, saying with a wry smile, "These students are spending the night in the Monster Forest for the first time. They have no experience, so I'm worried about them. Sure enough, the students on watch have fallen asleep. They're the first shift of students on watch."
Knowing that Wang Han couldn't speak their language but could understand it, the female teacher didn't wait for Wang Han's reply and continued, "Has your summoned beast returned?"
Wang Han nodded, turned to the side, and held an unknown monster leg in his hand, which was already roasted to a golden brown and oozing oil. He gestured to the female teacher, as if asking if she wanted some.
"Uh..." The female teacher stared blankly at the golden-brown, sizzling monster leg in Wang Han's hand, completely stunned, because she was downwind and hadn't smelled anything.
"Wang Han, you can't roast meat in the Monster Forest. Monsters have very sensitive noses, and the smell of roasted meat will attract nearby monsters, and might even attract a herd of beasts. Quickly throw the meat away." The teacher said anxiously, "I'll go wake up the students and get them out of here as soon as possible."
"Everyone, get up quickly, get up!" After saying that, the female teacher hurriedly shouted and rushed into the tent where several female soldiers were staying, kicking them up one by one and making them call for help.
'If I dare to grill meat in the Monster Forest, why would I be afraid of monsters? Even if a horde of beasts comes, they'll just be easy prey.' Wang Han thought to himself, taking a big bite of the grilled meat in his hand and exclaiming, 'As expected of monster meat, it's really delicious.'
"What's wrong, teacher?" The students hurriedly stood up, looking at the female teacher whose expression had changed drastically, and asked in confusion. Some students had already seen the roasted meat in Wang Han's hand and even smelled the rich aroma, and their faces changed drastically. They realized what had happened.
"We have to leave here immediately," the teacher said anxiously. Seeing that Wang Han was still enjoying his roasted meat, she said anxiously to Anqi, "Anqi, quickly tell Wang Han that you can't eat roasted meat in the Monster Forest. Tell him to throw the roasted meat away and we need to leave here right away."
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Angie and Vivian turned pale, realizing the gravity of the situation. They hurriedly ran towards Wang Han.
"Want some?" Before Anqi could speak, Wang Han picked up another monster leg that was roasting over the fire and handed it to her.
"Wang Han, you can't eat roasted meat in the Monster Forest, it'll attract monsters from the surrounding area. Quickly throw away the roasted meat, let's leave here immediately," Angie said anxiously. In her haste, she reached out to snatch the roasted meat from Wang Han's hand and throw it away.
“I don’t think there’s any danger in a summoner eating some roasted meat on the very edge of the Warcraft Forest.” Just then, another summoner in the party stopped Angie.
"Anqi, Wang Han, why haven't you thrown away the barbecue yet?" The teacher rushed over when she saw that the barbecue hadn't been thrown away.
“Teacher, I don’t think there’s any danger in a powerful summoner eating some roasted meat on the outermost edge of the Monster Forest. On the contrary, I think it’s the best time for us to hunt,” the boy explained to his teacher.
"Uh..." The female teacher was speechless. It was true. She had never teamed up with a strong person like Wang Han before, so she hadn't thought of this. Not to mention a powerful summoner like Wang Han, even someone like the dean could eat barbecue on the outermost edge of the Monster Forest without any problems. On the outer edge of the Monster Forest, even the gregarious monsters were usually only at the second or third tier.
Wang Han gave the boy a "you're not bad" look and handed him the barbecue.
