Chapter 210: School team strength demonstration
Li Yi walked up, bent down to pick up the glasses, and after staring at the crack on the lens for more than ten seconds, asked with a fake smile, "Whose pet beast moved my glasses just now?"
Qiao Sang: "……"
What's meant to come will come eventually... Qiao Sang took a deep breath, stood up with her hands on the desk, and admitted, "Mine."
Li Yi squinted his eyes as he looked at the girl sitting in the corner, feeling she looked a bit familiar. Not sure, he put on his glasses and looked carefully, his whole body instantly stiffening.
Good heavens, isn't this the student that the vice principal, Qin Wen, Luo Luo Qian, and that firecracker Zheng Zheng Guoping all mentioned to him at the same time?!
He still remembered that on the eve of the start of school, the vice principal contacted him, saying there was a student named Qiao Sang in his class, and if he saw her playing with her phone, he should turn a blind eye.
Qin Wen called him to say that if a student named Qiao Sang among the new students couldn't keep up with her academic scores, he shouldn't put pressure on her, saying her focus might all be on beast taming battle training.
Luo Luo Qian told him to subtly say more about the benefits of coordination competitions in front of student Qiao Sang.
As for Zheng Zheng Guoping...
Li Yi clearly remembered that scene.
Zheng Zheng Guoping came to his office early in the morning specifically to pat him on the shoulder, sighing, "Qiao Sang is in your class; you're a lucky kid."
Lucky? Lucky what? Sacrificing a pair of glasses on the first day of school?
Li Yi pondered for a long time and said, "Why did you think of sitting at the back of the classroom? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to see the front clearly?"
Qiao Sang: "???"
……
September 1st of every year was always a day the older students looked forward to, because there was excitement to watch.
And many new students who already knew the customs of Holy Water Middle School were also waiting for this moment to become the school's influential figures.
The school team strength demonstration segment.
To put it nicely, it was going up to demonstrate strength; to put it bluntly, it was going up to make a fool of oneself.
With the whole school watching, if one didn't do well, they would be talked about until graduation, and might even directly lose their eligibility for early dating.
Everyone had just become Beast Tamers, so why were you chosen for the school team and not me? Many new students had this thought in their hearts.
Holy Water Hall was also the largest competition venue in Holy Water Middle School.
Whenever the school held grand competitions and activities in the past, they would be held here.
The ring-shaped tiered auditorium was packed with people, with all the teachers and students of the school gathered together.
In every classroom, many students were discussing the upcoming opening ceremony.
"Did you hear? It seems we can go up and challenge the school team members later. If we win, can we directly replace the person who lost and join the school team?"
"Where did you hear this news?"
"A cousin of mine has a friend who is a senior in our school, and she's the one who said it."
"That can't be right. How would they challenge? If everyone went up one by one for a wheel battle, the school team members would definitely lose."
"It seems they said there's a school doctor waiting backstage, recovering them after each battle."
"Forget it, I have no hope. I contracted a Cotton-Knotted Worm."
"……"
"I spent a lot of money to get inside information. There are three super powerful people in this year's school team." In the auditorium, a boy with a mushroom cut held a document and said solemnly to the students crowding around him: "First is Wang Wang Jihang. He contracted a Bubble Bell, a psychic pet beast. You know what that means."
"Next is Lu You. This guy has 'money power' at home and contracted a Little Horned Dragon. I don't need to say much about how scary dragon-type pet beasts are. If you want to win, don't pick him."
"The last one is a girl named Qiao Sang, who contracted a Fire Tooth Dog." Speaking of this, the mushroom-cut boy lowered his voice and said: "According to reliable sources, the latest evolution of the Fire Tooth Dog that caused such a stir in our city a while ago, the Flame-Listening Dog, is her pet beast."
"That can't be!" The boy on the right gasped: "Isn't she the same age as us? Becoming a Beast Tamer was only two months ago, right?"
"Others awakened autonomously, maybe earlier than two months ago," the mushroom-cut boy said.
"That's really monstrous," the boy on the right sighed. "Our school is awesome; such talents are studying in our school."
Just then, the boy on the left who hadn't spoken asked in his duck-like voice: "How many Flame-Listening Dogs are there in our city now?"
The mushroom-cut boy looked speechless: "How many do you think? In our whole city—no, I should say, currently there is only this one Flame-Listening Dog in the world."
Wang Wang Yiding was dumbfounded. He thought the girl who helped him find the Crown Cat last time just looked about the same age as him; he never expected she was truly the same age...
"If you want to win, don't pick those three." The mushroom-cut boy paused and smiled: "But if you want to become famous in school, wait until the students before you exhaust their pet beasts' stamina before going up. Except for Qiao Sang's Flame-Listening Dog, you might have a slight chance of winning against the other two."
Long-term battles depend not only on the pet beast's energy and physical strength but also on stamina.
Stamina refers to a pet beast's ability to continue battling for a long time, which is the ability to resist fatigue.
A pet beast's energy and physical strength can be restored by healing skills or recovery fluids, but stamina cannot.
Pet beasts with weak willpower will only show flaws when their stamina is exhausted during battle.
……
"Hello everyone, I first represent the school leaders in expressing warm congratulations and sincere welcome to the first-year students who have just entered our school." A man wearing a white shirt, about 1.8 meters tall, with a scholarly air about him, looking only about 24 years old, went on stage to give a speech.
"Welcome to becoming glorious Beast Tamers, but this is just the beginning! The world is limited, but a Beast Tamer's quest is infinite!"

At the backstage curtain, all the special admission students were pulling a slit in the curtain to look outside.
Qiao Sang looked at the man speaking on stage and hesitated: "Is our principal this young?"
"He's not young," Lu You smiled. "Guess how old he is?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: "26?"
"Wrong," Lu You said.
"36?"
"Guess boldly, just think big."
"96."
Lu You: "……"
"I told you to guess big, not to guess that he's gone," Lu You said helplessly. "He is 48 years old this year. He became a D-level Beast Tamer at 20. Because he received the feedback of his pet beast when he was young, he ages a bit slowly."
Qiao Sang was greatly shocked.
In the past, her circle was small; she was either at school or at home. Beast Tamers receiving feedback from pet beasts to stay young forever, and middle-aged and elderly people looking like young people, were only things she saw on the internet. This was her first time seeing a living example in reality.
Of course, she might have met such people on the road, but if they didn't say anything, she wouldn't know.
"Are you nervous?" Lu You looked at the thousands of students sitting outside the slit and suddenly asked.
"Nervous!" Wang Wang Jihang, who was beside her, touched his heart and said: "I feel my heart rate might be 180 right now."
"Who asked you?" Lu You turned his head and said speechlessly: "I'm asking Qiao Sang."
Wang Wang Jihang: "……"
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then excitedly said: "Nervous? How is that possible? I can't wait to go out."
Waiting for her was not just battles, but also points! ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
