Chapter 189 - Will the Great Beast Tide Come?
Chapter 189: Will the Great Beast Tide Come?
A moment later, Moss, Mill, and the others brought their Magical Beasts onto the stage. Although there were only four beasts, it was most students’ first time seeing tamed ones.
Moreover, it was their first time seeing a Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep, Ocelot, and Flying Demon Rat. White Deer High’s grand hall was in an uproar again.
“These are all Magical Beasts?”
“Why do they all look so obedient?”
“Don’t be fooled by that! Otherwise, the training camp wouldn’t have issued the Taming and Magical Beast Code Certificates!”
…
Since the four had displayed their certificates, Na’er said, “Please begin your demonstrations, you four. Students below the stage, please be quiet for a moment.”
The two third-year students took the lead in their demonstrations. Since the two had tamed Flying Demon Rats, they planned to do their demonstrations alongside each other before they went up the stage.
The two threw their Flying Demon Rats into the air, and the rats instantly opened their flaps. It was as if the rats were wearing wingsuits, swiftly gliding toward the students across them.
Although the rats were gliding, they were quick. In the blink of an eye, one of them accurately landed in a student’s hand opposite it.
The two third-year students created magnificent and attention-grabbing scenes when they performed together, attracting cheers and applause from the crowd.
Afterward, it was Mill’s turn to show off her Ocelot. Although her beast was not big, it was very agile. Mill had reached an intimacy level of 70 when she first tamed it. However, her intimacy levels increased as she continuously interacted with it.
In addition, the little Ocelot was rather intelligent. Its interactions with Mill resembled that of a domestic cat. When Mill and her little Ocelot’s impromptu performance ended, the audience gave them thunderous applause.
Although Mill’s and the two third-year students’ performances were awe-inspiring, the students below the stage were even more excited about Moss’s demonstration. It was probably because Little Seven was more prominent than the other three Magical Beasts.
Moss stood on stage, worried.
‘Little Seven’s current skill is Rampage,’ Moss muttered inwardly.
However, he had seen Little Seven use that skill before and knew it was unsuitable for the current situation. Despite that, Moss only needed to conduct a simple demonstration.
He decisively signaled a jubilant message to Little Seven. Then Moss raised his hand and drew a few circles in the air with his index finger.
Little Seven understood his master’s gestures.
“Baa, baa!” Little Seven cried out and straightened itself. It kicked its front legs in the air as if pedaling a bicycle. Little Seven looked like a kangaroo punching the air.
When Moss stopped his gestures, Little Seven obediently laid beside Moss and waited quietly.
After watching Moss and Little Seven’s performance, the students cheered and chanted. They enjoyed watching Little Seven’s adorable actions. Making one feel that way was a challenge with such a large body.
However, the students did not enjoy the duo’s performance.
“Is that it?”
“That sheep only knows how to do that? I’m flabbergasted!”
“It would be fine if that sheep was a mount. Otherwise, Moss would have tamed it for nothing.”
…
Moss heard his fellow students’ comments but did not care. Before putting Little Seven back into his Interspace Dimension, Moss patted and rubbed the beast’s head a few times. Then he returned to his seat.
No one felt anything special throughout Little Seven’s performance. The students only noticed that Little Seven was more prominent than an ordinary Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep.
However, Elroy felt differently about Little Seven.
At first, he did not notice anything unusual, but when Little Seven behaved triumphantly, Elroy thought, ‘That is not an ordinary Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep! It would never behave that way if it were one!’
Images flashed through Elroy’s mind as he fell deeper in thought, ‘T-That’s the Sacred Tabu Sheep!’
He immediately thought of his youthful days on the front lines for a second year. He had witnessed such a mighty beast behave triumphantly before. Elroy wondered how Moss did it, feeling incredulous.
‘That’s a powerful Magical Beast, so how did Moss tame it?! Has Moss’s spiritual power already reached that of a powerhouse’s?! That can’t be right either!’
At present, Elroy had not heard of anyone who had successfully tamed a medium or high-level Magical Beast, let alone a Sacred Tabu Sheep.
Still, after some thought, Elroy could not figure it out as he collected his thoughts and returned to reality.
At that moment, he heard Na’er saying, “You should all learn from Moss and the others. They are your role models, and their today may be your tomorrow! You should all work hard and strive toward the next elite training program!”
Elroy smiled bitterly and thought, ‘It seems I was too engrossed in thinking about Moss’s beast. Na’er’s ability to cover for my absent-mindedness is commendable.’
Then he picked up his teacup and took a sip, looking at Na’er very naturally. Na’er understood Elroy’s gaze and wrapped up his speech, handing the microphone to the director.
Elroy gave a brief summary speech and ended the welcoming ceremony shortly after.
…
Moss returned to his everyday life of study. While studying, Moss looked for an answer to a question in his heart. This question surfaced during his scouting mission, and after that, he read about places where Magical Beasts had never appeared.
He read about that because he found traces of Magical Beasts in odd places. There were also incidents of beasts eating humans in some places.
Through collecting data and the first occurrence of Magical Beasts, Moss sensed if there would be another spatial crack, from which many more Magical Beasts would emerge.
When he was in Black Dragon City’s library, he saw a book about the Great Magical Beast Tide more than a hundred years ago. Then Moss thought of the many things he had experienced before. He felt he had found the answer to the question in his heart.
Despite that, Moss could not change anything with his current strength. Still, he had a deeply imprinted goal in his heart—to keep becoming stronger before the next Great Magical Beast Tide.
Now, Moss had an excellent opportunity to go to a better platform, the college entrance exams.
“I must focus on the exams!”
After attending college, Moss could obtain more resources and an environment to improve himself. With that thought, he knew it was vital to take the entrance exams as soon as possible.
