STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer
Chapter 309 - 309: Part 1: Stunning the City A

Dean's office:

After the meeting, everyone left; she fell into deep thought. Now she has to be ready for another problem.

Jeremy Night's strength was exposed right now. Soon the families would be able to know about this news. That kid was already facing a threat from them.

She thinks those families would be unsettled right now. She is hoping for better sense to prevail if the beast-taming families were found to be engaging in any hostile activities.

She would have no choice other than to take action against them. In this regard, she has decided to speak with Governor Elton and others.

"This kid is unlike others; he has a solid future. The Human Alliance won't let anything happen to the kid. They need such talent to fight for them on the front lines," she said in her heart.

Carolyn is expecting the news to cause shockwaves in the coming days. Not only in their zone, but in other zones as well.

Such news would attract the attention of the Human Alliance. She was confident that they would take notice of it.

Then the hostile families wouldn't be able to have any other choice than to give up their hostile idea.

...

Meanwhile,

It didn't take long for the news to spread like wildfire. Those who were in the dorms as well as in their homes in City A.

Everyone revealed the truth about Jeremy Night. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year department students and instructors were petrified upon hearing the news.

They had double-checked the facts to verify whether it was true or not. The confirmation only added more shock to them.

This kind of news they had only seen on the news and videos from the top 10 zones. They hadn't expected someone to achieve such a feat in the 14th zone, especially from their own university.

What made it even more unbelievable was that Jeremy Night hadn't used his lifeline beast to kill the two Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts.

He had only relied on himself and his lifeline beast's ability to slay the beasts. It was something hard to comprehend for the senior students.

For every fight against the Corrupted Beasts, they were used to relying on their lifeline beasts. The combo of 2 against 1 had always yielded victories.

But if it's one versus one, the results could go either way.

So when it was dusk, the news had reached almost everyone's ears. The 4th-year students were more shocked and embarrassed.

They knew that Jeremy Night was the representative of the STRIKER Department, which meant he wouldn't get help from the lifeline beast even if he used it on the battlefield.

Because Jeremy Night had a body-type talent, that's why they were shocked by his solo killing. While some felt that Jeremy Night had purposely done it to prove the senior students wrong.

It wasn't just the 4th-year students who had taken action against Jeremy Night previously. The 2nd and 3rd-year students had followed the orders of the 4th-year students.

Now the 2nd and 3rd-year students were scared. Basically, Jeremy Night could take them down easily.

If Jeremy Night were to seek justice outside the campus, they would have nowhere to go.

They needed immediate assurance from the Dean. For that, they had to contact their families to discuss the issue as an urgent matter.

...

Beast Taming Association, City A:

Night fell. The beast-taming families and the other beast-taming organizations, including the Beast Taming Association and the City Administration, learned about this news.

Especially, the local head of the Beast Taming Association was taken aback by surprise. He was in disbelief. He didn't know how they had missed such a talent in the first place.

The local head, Cadell, found something interesting during his search. Jeremy Night had registered in the Beast Taming Association, but it was done in City C before formally joining Central University 14.

After that, he started taking on university missions. So he hadn't accepted that many tasks from their beast-taming association.

Because of this, they only had little information on him, which left him frustrated. He found out the reason why they hadn't selected Jeremy Night before.

It was because of Jeremy Night's awakened talent. The local head learned that Jeremy Night's talent was ranked A-Grade. It's called "Supreme Combat Talent."

From the verified intel, it can be said that Jeremy Night's strength comes from his incredible combat awareness, which helps him exploit the enemy's weaknesses.

Then he also heard that the kid had a mysterious lifeline beast that provides incredible special energy.

"That's the reason he was able to fight across ranks. He has ways and tools to kill the beasts: the combat awareness and special energy ability," Cadell said to himself.

But he realized it's too late to regret. No one expected such a turnaround. He had to say old lady Carolyn is fortunate to have discovered the talent.

He knows about her old STRIKER Department program. Now that kid has shown his strength, it can be said that her program was successful.

There could be similar recruitments next year. He just had to be ready now because he thought it would be a matter of time before someone called him from the main headquarters in the first zone.

He didn't know whether it was possible to recruit the kid again. He realized that the kid had not joined any official organization. There was no mention of such a thing in the intel.

Maybe after the talk with the higher-ups, he would decide to meet that kid.

....

The Beast Taming Families, especially the shareholders of Central University 14, the Heath and Knox families, were in great shock.

Unlike other families, they knew important information about Jeremy Night. This led them to keep his background information confidential earlier.

They knew that kid had someone backing him up from the Human Alliance. They had wondered many times before, but they got the answers right now.

That kid was so talented to begin with that an important person from the Human Alliance had recognized it, though they hadn't known about it.

But both families were glad that they didn't take any actions against Jeremy Night.
