Chapter 12 (2/2)

Students who had their own beasts grew excited. Actual combat! This was something everyone had been looking forward to!

One had to know that the usual training they gave to their beasts only consisted of attacking some inanimate objects. Only those who were well-off had the means to procure some low-level beasts to use as training on their own.

As for going to the suburbs alone to hunt for isolated beasts… Forget that; it was much too dangerous.

Let alone the off chance that they were unlucky and encountered a powerful beast (Although the beasts in the wild were mostly eradicated by the military, there are still some that managed to slip through), there were shady people operating in the countryside. That by itself was a variable they had to take into concern. Who knew if they would get robbed?

With the military organizing the activity, everyone’s safety was guaranteed, at the very least, and they could train their beasts’ fighting strength. It truly couldn’t get any better than that!

What, did you say Saturdays are rest days?

Che, to have the opportunity to train their beasts, except for an extremely small minority of people who weren’t looking to improve themselves, who cares if you were resting or not? Instead, they would rather have the opportunity to do this every day!

Compared to the high-spirited students who had their own beasts, the other students couldn’t help but reveal dejected looks on their faces, especially those ‘trash’ who no longer had any hopes of becoming a beastmaster in their lifetime. Their faces looked as if they were in mourning.

“Keep quiet, everyone. Don’t cause a ruckus.”

Han Sheqing creased his brow. When the students quietened down, he continued, “Those who aren’t beastmasters, don’t feel dispirited. Work hard to get into a good university. You can work towards becoming a beast cultivator, too. Moreover, even if you aren’t able to work in a profession related to beasts, it’s not like we don’t need talents in other fields!

“Society is diversified. As long as you work hard, you will definitely find a place where you belong. You mustn’t lose heart.”

When Han Sheqing was done speaking, Wu Junyu raised his hand.

“Wu Junyu, do you have a question?”

Wu Junyu stood up from his seat, feeling the gaze of his classmates as he asked, “Teacher Han, why aren’t we going to the beast world to conduct our outdoor combat training?”

This question was exactly what everybody else was thinking.

-Right, isn’t it better to go directly to the beast world to conduct the outdoor combat training?-

There were more exotic beasts in there, and there was even a chance of obtaining beast cards! That was much better than doing so in the suburbs.

Han Sheqing swept his gaze across his students and explained, “Technological devices aren’t usable in the beast world, and the possibility of encountering a high-tier beast is also higher. It is too dangerous. Thus, the beast world wasn’t chosen as the location for the outdoor combat training. Of course, you don’t have to be anxious, either. When you enter university in the future, they will organize things for beastmasters to train in the beast world.”

It was only after hearing this that they realized it was indeed too dangerous.

In the beast world, all technological devices were rendered useless. Even the most important combat force of humans, firearms, were unable to function. The military didn’t dare to guarantee the safety of everyone if that was the case.

Moreover, the geographical environment in the beast world was complicated. What if someone got separated from the group?

It wasn’t like the outside world in there, where everybody had their personal terminal and could be located with GPS easily.

In that case, even if they couldn’t go to the beast world, going to the suburbs to hunt for some low-tier beast was also very worth looking forward to!

In the blink of an eye, every student who has their own beast was eager with anticipation, wishing that tomorrow was Saturday!
