Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 611 - 554 Rules

Chapter 611: Chapter 554 Rules

Qiao Sang’s first thought was, "It hasn’t been many years since the forced termination of the contract by the rigid armor, the children are only in high school, and here I was thinking it was old news."

Her second thought was, "It seems this person bears some hostility towards the Little Steel Falcon species because of his father’s incident, staring for so long without getting tired."

Hughlis continued,

"His name is Cyril Thompson, a student from Sahel School. It is said that he thinks those who contract with Little Steel Falcons are all brainless fools."

Qiao Sang blurted out, "Does he think his father was brainless?"

Hughlis could not help but laugh wryly, "That I’m not sure of."

Qiao Sang looked at him and couldn’t resist teasing, "You seem to be quite informed about this matter."

Hughlis laughed and said, "His father was once a very famous Professional Beast Tamer. When the incident occurred, all the media covered it, and his family was followed and interviewed for a long time. His son’s face was on the news so many times, it would be hard not to recognize him."

So that was it... Qiao Sang glanced at Gangbao sitting quietly beside her, as if it hadn’t heard anything; she had no intention of putting it back into the Beast Taming Codex.

What did it matter to her if others didn’t like the Little Steel Falcon species?

Under the guidance of a volunteer, the six of them entered the main gate, circled around the fountain pool, and stepped into a white building styled in a typical Western fashion.

"This is where the upcoming exchange event will take place," said the girl while leading them to row C of section 3, pointing to several seats marked with "Sainan High School": "Your seats are here."

Once seated, the girl did not leave but sat down next to Magee.

Looking around, almost every school had a student wearing a Sahel uniform seated next to them.

During the exchange event, student volunteers from Sahel School would serve as assistants to the delegations from various prestigious schools, providing full-time accompaniment.

"When does the exchange event start?" Qiao Sang turned to ask.

When the volunteer, Alva, checked the time on her watch, she replied, "There are 32 minutes left until the official start."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately took out her textbook from the backpack and started to flip through it.

Half an hour was enough to memorize a lot of knowledge points.

Seeing this, Alva was first surprised, then admiration welled up within her. To be able to focus on reading under these circumstances, what a talent!

Meanwhile, as Qiao Sang was studying earnestly, the audience seats were abuzz with discussion.

"Are we going straight into the competition? I thought they’d take us on a tour first."

"It’s the tradition of Sahel School to have a few matches before taking us on a tour."

"Why?"

"Not sure, but the first ones to compete are students from their school; probably they want us to see their school’s strength first."

"Speaking of which, this time people from Mank Public School have also come."

"It’s not surprising they’re here. All the prestigious schools from the top three districts were invited this time."

"No, I mean Levina from Mank Public School, I heard she’s also participating in the exchange event."

"Oh, my goodness! The Levina who just won the runner-up in the global high school coordination contest and received public praise from Mrs. Dingney?"

"The very same."

"But isn’t she into coordination? How come she’s participating in team battles now?"

"A Beast Tamer who specializes in coordination isn’t necessarily bad at combat; they just focus more on the splendor. Besides, Pet Beasts raised by coordinators tend to cooperate better with each other as they have strong control over their own abilities."

"Makes sense!"

Amidst the conversations of the crowd, an elderly man with white hair walked to the center of the field.

This man was the headmaster of Sahel School.

He looked around the audience and began,

"Good morning, and welcome to this friendly match. I’m glad you could make the time to join us."

As soon as he spoke, the crowd quieted down.

The old man smiled and said, "I believe you all do not wish to hear any of my nonsense."

Everyone laughed at his remark.

There’s actually a leader with such self-awareness... Qiao Sang lifted her head in surprise.

The old man continued,

"Then I’ll get straight to the point. The principle for this friendly match is ’friendship first, communication paramount,’ with no prizes awarded. Every student participating will receive a VIP ticket to this year’s International Group Tour of the Professional Beast Tamer’s League."

Having finished, he smiled and said, "That’s all from me."

The entire venue erupted into cheers, not for the VIP tickets, but because the principal indeed didn’t waste any words!

I wish future school leaders could all be like this... As Qiao Sang put down her book, she applauded while secretly wishing.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao, caught up in the atmosphere, also started clapping.

Little Steel Falcon, unfazed, practiced its internal levitation on the side.

At that moment, the lights on the field dimmed.

When they lit up again, the old man was gone, and in his place stood a black-haired boy in a Sahel School uniform.

At the same time, a massive virtual screen appeared overhead.

The virtual screen displayed the emblems of various high schools.

The next second, the emblems of the high schools began to scroll.

Soon, a red and white emblem with a book pattern enlarged and took center stage.

Then, a female voice came through the speakers and echoed throughout the venue:

"Key High School, please send out your representative."

It wasn’t long before a brown-curly-haired boy stood up from the stands and walked forward.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and turned to ask,

"What are the rules of the competition? If our emblem comes up, do we pick someone from our team to go up?"

"What did you say?" Alva, who had been focused on the field, heard someone from Sainan High School ask a question but didn’t catch what was said and asked again.

Qiao Sang didn’t look at her because Magee, in charge of the team, had already started explaining:

"Yes, if our school’s emblem shows up, we send someone up. The first one to go is chosen by us, but the next two will be randomly selected by the system. Don’t worry, it’ll be our turn soon; there are only 18 schools participating in the friendly match."

Wait a second! Something doesn’t seem right. Qiao Sang paused, confused, then asked,

"Didn’t we bring five people? Does that mean that, including the first one, we’re only sending up three people?"

Magee was taken aback: "Didn’t your head teacher tell you?"

Did the head teacher mention it? Qiao Sang looked perplexedly at Hughlis.

"She did," Hughlis replied, seeing Qiao Sang looking at him. "But she mentioned it after the second person was selected, when you weren’t there. It was also mentioned in the group chat, but you probably didn’t check it."

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

Hasn’t anyone considered that I’m a person who doesn’t check the group chat!

Hughlis added, "You were even tagged in the group."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Having heard everything, Magee, aware that this exchange student from Blue Star was still clueless, explained,

"The rules are such that each school brings five students, but only three will actually compete. One match determines the victor, and the winner can continue competing the next day."

Qiao Sang, still puzzled: "Then why bring five people?"

Magee smiled and said,

"It’s a friendly match, after all. It’s meant to promote interaction between students from different schools, so the more, the merrier, of course."

A curse almost slipped from Qiao Sang’s lips, barely stopping herself from uttering a certain plant’s name.

So now, does that mean she might not get to compete?!
