STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 87: Commander Harris

City Gate:

Jeremy and others are watching. Similarly, the other Beast Tamers are observing from a distance as well.

Suddenly, a commotion occurs, which immediately attracts the attention of everyone.

A middle-aged man wearing the City Guard Commander uniform appears. However, his real age is higher than what he appears to be on the outside.

His name is Harris. He has black hair and eyes. His skin tone is tanned. He stands 6 feet tall.

Everyone calls him Commander Harris. He is one of the commanders responsible for overseeing the battles in the East Side.

There are 20 captains under him to assist him. Each of them has 5 battle teams. Each team consists of 5 Beast Tamers.

So Harris is responsible for controlling 500 Beast Tamers. This is only on the East Side. There are 3 more commanders posted for the East Side. He is just one of them.

There are 12 more commanders responsible for commanding the Beast Tamers Army on the other three sides.

Right now, Harris is not alone. 10 of the 20 captains are following him from behind.

Upon seeing them, the instructors become more respectful, especially the 4th-year department instructors. Strength-wise, they are at similar tiers, but the position held by Harris is higher than that of a department instructor.

Though the department instructors might have advantages in numbers, these commanders have numerous life-and-death experiences. They can easily kill the department instructors here.

Commander Harris walks up to them. His gaze sweeps across the nearly 400 university students.

Currently, there are seats that need to be filled. His command alone requires more than 200 Beast Tamers from Tier-1 to Tier-4.

Seeing more than 300 Beast Tamers, he feels joy.

He then looks at the department instructors. He notices that instructors from each year have come as well, especially his eyes that fall on the 4th-year department instructors.

His mouth curves into an arc. If something is up, he can request their help.

But he doesn’t know whether they are going to stay or go back.

After pushing down these thoughts, he decides to speak.

"I’m Commander Harris of the East Division. I’m a Tier-6 Beast Tamer. There are 3 more commanders in the East Division, but they have their slots filled."

"Whereas I’m in need of 200 Beast Tamers from Tier-1 to Tier-4. I’m glad that Central University 14 has sent their manpower."

"Behind me, there are 10 Team Captains. They are Tier-5 Beast Tamers. Each of them has 5 teams under them. Each team consists of 5 members."

"You will be assigned to their teams based on your tiers," Harris says straightforwardly.

Then he thinks of something important and says, "If any of you reach Tier-5, you will be appointed as captain and given teams to command."

Gasp!

The students gasp in surprise, especially the 1st and 2nd years. This is the first time they are meeting Tier-5 and Tier-6 Beast Tamers. Many of the lower-level cities have Tier-5 Beast Tamers as City Governors.

Here, they are just battle unit captains. Especially Jeremy Night sighed inwardly. His father is a Tier-5, 9th Rank Beast Tamer, and his mother is a Tier-5, 6th Rank Beast Tamer.

His father is one of the City Governors in City C. Tier-5 is almost the ceiling there, but here, they can be found easily.

Other Beast Tamers have similar emotions as well.

Harris smiles and turns towards the captains, asking them to pick their own teams. The 10 captains, consisting of both male and female Beast Tamers, step forward.

Each has a name list on their devices. They come to the 4th Year Department Instructors first and ask their respective students to come outside when their names are called.

Jeremy Night’s eyes flicker. He sees most of the captains flocking to the Attack Department and Defense Department.

Then some of them go to the Elemental and Control Department side.

One by one, 4th Year students step out and stand behind the captains. Jeremy’s eyes flicker. He understands how the battle unit is going to operate.

He thinks if the captains have 5 teams under them, then the teams will be ranked based on strength. The highest team might have team members filled with Tier-4 and Tier-3 Beast Tamers.

Whereas the lowest team might be filled with Tier-1 and Tier-2 Beast Tamers. Jeremy’s expression chills. He doesn’t know how many of them will survive in the end.

He can foresee that not all of them can return.

A few minutes later,

The 10 captains turn towards the 3rd Year Department Instructors. Once again, the same pattern follows. They pick from the Attack Department and Defense Department again.

But all the captains show interest in recruiting one person from the Medicine Department. The healer is vital for the team.

There is a tacit understanding between the captains. Before coming here, they had made an assessment on whom to select.

There is also a strength difference between the captains despite their same tier ranks.

Jeremy remains silent. If you are from the Attack Department, it doesn’t mean that you can kill more corrupted beasts.

But it’s the system followed for many years. Jeremy Night can’t change it now.

Time passes,

Finally, they come for the 2nd year. The captains only select based on assessment and available slots. So a few of them are left behind in the 3rd year.

In the 4th year, those who are Tier-4 Beast Tamers are all selected. Only a few are left behind, but they are older students with Tier-3 strength.

But for some reason, these captains ignore them and select Tier-3 Beast Tamers from the 3rd year. It feels like strict screening.

The Department Instructors don’t speak, but their eyes never leave their students. After standing behind the captains, some of them shoot glances at Jeremy Night.

Seeing that, Hudson sighs in his heart. He knows the mentality of the people. Everyone would go for the Attack Department and Defense Department.

But when it comes to the 1st year, the situation is different. The real strongest is not them, but Jeremy Night from the Striker Department.

He doesn’t consider the two S-Graders. They are fighting on behalf of their family. So Jeremy Night can be called their asset.
