Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 42 - 39 The Last Day

Chapter 42: Chapter 39 The Last Day

The evening’s remaining sunlight, a pale orange glow, streamed through the glass onto the floor, also illuminating the young girl and the Fire-Toothed Dog.

Everything was so tranquil and beautiful…

“Look at you, so careless. Now both of us are being punished with a timeout,” Qiao Sang said, standing against the wall with her hands raised in a gesture of surrender.

The Fire-Toothed Dog stood in the same pose by the wall.

“Ya, Ya Ya.”

Her own Beast Tamer was too fickle, having just said that as long as it was alright, all was well.

“Both of you, be quiet!” After scolding them, her mother turned around, her face full of heartache as she started to pick up the pieces of broken celadon on the floor.

“Mom, let me help you,” Qiao Sang attempted to show her well-behaved side.

Her mother coldly said, “Stay where you are and don’t move.”

Qiao Sang sighed inwardly. How could she bring up the fact that she hadn’t been at school these past few days?

It seemed today wasn’t the day to reveal the truth…

Her homeroom teacher wouldn’t choose this time to call, right…?

Her mother carefully picked up fragments from the bottom of the vase and saw that the signed piece was also broken into three parts, her eyes nearly brimming red.

Unable to bear seeing her like this, Qiao Sang said, “Mom, it’s just an autograph. When I meet Wang Dian’ao, I’ll get another one for you.”

She remembered that her mother’s favorite Beast Tamer was named Wang Dian’ao. Just a while ago, while watching TV with the Fire-Toothed Dog, she saw him and a female Beast Tamer named Luo Tang in a relationship.

However, her mother didn’t seem to be affected, eating and drinking as usual, and getting excited when Wang Dian’ao unveiled his ace Pet Beast, the Armor-Clad Spike Bear, on TV.

Qiao Sang guessed her mother was more a fan of his career.

Her mother glared at her with reddened eyes and yelled, “What Wang Dian’ao! This is the Spike Bear’s autograph! It’s out of print! There’s no more of them! It has evolved into the Armor-Clad Spike Bear now!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She decided it was better to just stay quiet and keep standing.

…

Qiao Sang thought her mother was a strong woman. Even after the loss of the out-of-print Spike Bear autograph, she still called her and the Fire-Toothed Dog for dinner.

Even though she wasn’t looking too pleased about it…

In the evening, Qiao Sang worked on her exercises while the Fire-Toothed Dog was down in the residential area, training with the company of the fat pigeon.

This was something the Fire-Toothed Dog had requested itself.

The Fire-Toothed Dog was clearly feeling its improvement after the recent training, and it didn’t want to stop now.

Of course, Qiao Sang was happy to see the Fire-Toothed Dog so motivated, but evening was not the time to read outside in the residential area, so she had the fat pigeon accompany it.

With the fat pigeon, the head of the household, keeping company, she felt reassured about the Fire-Toothed Dog.

Before leaving, Qiao Sang made the Fire-Toothed Dog wear a 15kg Weighted Ring. The 10kg Weighted Ring no longer had any effect on the Fire-Toothed Dog and didn’t serve its training purpose.

Days like this repeated, and before long it was June 15th.

The two days before the middle school entrance exam, the last day at Wen Cheng Middle School.

Class 3-7.

The classmates were making the most out of their last moments to strengthen their bonds.

After all, once today was over, the next time they’d see each other would be on the day the results were announced. Once they left Wen Cheng Middle School, except for those who ended up at the same high school, even those who were close now might not meet often anymore.

“Qiao Sang, have you decided which school you want to attend?” Fang Sisi asked.

“Shengshui Middle School,” Qiao Sang stated truthfully.

“Hahaha, you’re so funny,” Fang Sisi laughed and slapped the desk.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Why don’t we all try for Haomu Beast Taming High School? Then we can look out for each other,” the girl sitting in front of Fang Sisi turned her head and suggested.

Haomu Beast Taming High School was a private school, and the middle school entrance exam results weren’t important. As long as the money was right, anyone could attend.

“How much is the tuition for one semester?” Fang Sisi became interested.

If everyone could go to the same high school, she would, of course, want to join, but she only knew that Haomu Beast Taming High School was expensive, not the exact amount.

“500,000.” A girl in the front row extended her palm.

Fang Sisi glanced at the girl’s hand, then turned away, “Qiao Sang, where were we just now?”

“You were saying I’m humorous,” Qiao Sang replied.

The girl in the front row: “…”

Just as Fang Sisi was about to continue the conversation, a boy’s cry of astonishment suddenly came from the other side of the class, “What? Your dad actually shipped you a Laosi!”

At this exclamation, the entire class turned with envious eyes, including Qiao Sang.

Laosi, a Psychic Beast, would not have caused such envy just by itself.

Laosi were not Pet Beasts from Hua Country.

Each region has its local exclusive Pet Beasts, such as the Fire-Toothed Dog, the chubby pigeons, and the Desert Tail Fox, which are exclusive to the Yuhua Region where Qiao Sang lives.

It’s not that there aren’t any Pet Beasts from other regions in Yuhua, but they are few in number and variety. Some Beast Tamers journey to different regions to contract Pet Beasts each time their Beast Taming Codex awakens, but most still stay within Hua Country’s borders.

Qiao Sang figured that a Psychic Beast shipped directly from another country like this one was probably the only one among this year’s Hangkang City candidates.

“My dad insisted on sending it over. I told him I didn’t want it, but he still sent it, there was nothing I could do,” the speaker was Qin Shou.

Indeed a beast, to be able to say such words so casually.

Qiao Sang’s fists clenched, but he had to admit that having capital was good—having money meant you could contract rare and powerful Pet Beasts and have a continuous supply of resources to use.

And without money, you would have to contract suitable Pet Beasts within a limited range, and wouldn’t be able to sustain the subsequent resources for their cultivation.

Therefore, the powerful Beast Tamers in society today are generally those with substantial backgrounds, whereas grass-roots Beast Tamers find it hard to rise.

Luckily, he had a Golden Finger!

“Isn’t the Brain Domain Awakening process not even started yet? What if you can’t awaken, won’t that be a huge embarrassment?” Guo Linze in the back row commented with a tinge of sarcasm.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Fang Sisi turned her head to ask in response.

Impossible.

If the second-ranked student in the school couldn’t awaken, there was no hope for him, ranked second last in the class.

Guo Linze chose not to answer.

The last class of the day was taught by the homeroom teacher.

Qiao Sang gazed at the teacher with a feeling of reluctance.

The homeroom teacher was awesome, having not called his mother to report his unannounced leave for so many days. Where else could one find such an understanding homeroom teacher?

With passionate eloquence, the homeroom teacher commenced a farewell speech: “Classmates, the day after tomorrow, June 17th, is our middle school examination day, and June 20th will be the day of our Brain Domain Awakening.”

“You will experience the first turning point in your lives, ending three years of junior high school and moving on to higher institutions of learning.”

“Three years of earnest efforts, three years of diligent study, and three years of hard work have shaped you into who you are today. I believe at this moment, every student in their hearts…”

“Are all holding back a surge of energy,” Qiao Sang murmured softly.

“Are all holding back a surge of energy.”

Fang Sisi asked in amazement, “How do you know what the homeroom teacher was going to say next?”

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then answered, “I guessed.”

What the homeroom teacher said was the usual rhetoric from teachers at times of farewell, which could be found online. Qiao Sang decided to spare the teacher some dignity.

“I believe that in a few days, everyone will mark a perfect end to their junior high school life with brilliant results.”

“Finally, I wish you all to set sail against the wind! Head towards the high school of your dreams! Fulfill your aspirations in June!”

The whole class burst into thunderous applause, and Qiao Sang clapped frantically as well.

At that moment, Qiao Sang didn’t care about any clichés.

The atmosphere was genuine, and so was the excitement in his heart.
