Chapter 12: Practical training courses for new beast masters
"Su Yang, do you want to be the class monitor?"
"No!"
Ordinary students wanted to be class monitors to expand their connections.
But Su Yang had no interest in this.
"Then Zhang Zhang Ruolin, you be the class monitor!"
Zhang Zhang Ruolin raised her head and looked at Instructor Chen in surprise. She didn't expect Instructor Chen to call her name.
"Can I?"
"Of course you can, no one will object!"
"Alright then!"
Zhang Zhang Ruolin hesitated for a moment but still agreed.
"You are all teenagers who have awakened the beast master talent. After entering middle school, you mainly need to improve your strength!" Instructor Chen spread out the textbook and said: "For the next fifteen days, you will stay in school to learn the basic knowledge that a beast master must master."
"Fifteen days later, our whole school will hold an exam. Students who get ninety points or more can go to the outskirts of Seven Stars City for field practical training!"
"The exam is very simple and basic. If you don't get ninety points, you must continue to study for another half month and then take the exam again, until you can get ninety points!"
For the next fifteen days, Su Yang learned at No. 1 High School how to open the beast space, learned about the classification of wild fierce beasts, simple combat techniques for beast masters, and knowledge about pet beast cultivation...
Fifteen days later, after an exam, thirty-nine out of forty-one students in Class 1 successfully got ninety points, and only two students did not.
Sitting on the earthworm subway, Instructor Chen looked at the remaining thirty-nine students and said:
"Don't think that just because you passed the exam, you don't need to learn any knowledge. As beast masters, you not only need to learn combat techniques, but in the future, you also need to learn to identify fierce beasts commonly seen near Seven Stars City, know their abilities and weaknesses, distinguish wild medicinal herbs, learn wild survival knowledge, etc... The more you learn, the better you can live. I hope you don't forget my words!"
The Class 1 students replied loudly: "We understand, Instructor!"
Instructor Chen saw them and smiled, saying: "I hope you can be just as spirited when you arrive at the outskirts of Seven Stars City for field practical training!"
Getting off the earthworm subway, the group followed the damp steps to the surface. What appeared before their eyes was a relatively wide plain, and on the wide plain, there were rows of simple wooden houses.
Instructor Chen led the Class 1 students to the front of the wooden houses, and three beast masters walked out.
"Let me introduce to you, for the next year, these three instructors will be responsible for your practical training courses!"
The three instructors were named Tan Guo, Xiong Xiong Changfeng, and Zhang Zhang Zhongjie.
Tan Guo was the oldest, with a face full of vicissitudes and messy white hair, like an old lion.
Xiong Xiong Changfeng and Zhang Zhang Zhongjie were both in their forties, in their prime. Xiong Xiong Changfeng looked burly and unremarkable, while Zhang Zhang Zhongjie was missing half of his left palm.
It looked like it had been bitten off by a fierce beast! ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
Through self-introductions, the Class 1 students learned that these three were all battle-hardened Silver-grade beast masters!
Tan Guo stood out and pointed to the row of simple wooden houses: "From now on, you will live there!"
Many Class 1 students ran over to take a look and felt that their whole world was not good.
The wooden houses were not small, about thirty square meters, but inside the wooden houses, except for a bed, there was no furniture, and even the bed had no sheets or quilts, just a frame.
Someone asked: "Then what do we eat?"
Tan Guo laughed: "That is your problem!"
"Our problem?"
"Yes!" Tan Guo pointed to a large house in the center of the plain. "See that house? That is the place where things are sold. There, you can buy all kinds of daily necessities, all kinds of medicines, and even luxury goods like cigarettes and alcohol."
"Is the school trying to scam our money?"
"Of course not!" Tan Guo shook his head. "That supermarket doesn't accept any currency, only fierce beast corpses, furs, crystals, and some fresh herbs and minerals. In this semester, you need to use your own strength to be self-reliant!"
"What? Does the school have to be this ruthless?" Some Class 1 students were already nervous, and some even whispered, "The seniors from the previous batch didn't seem to be like this!"
Tan Guo didn't care about their dissatisfaction but continued: "The fierce beasts in this area have been cleared by the beast masters of Seven Stars City, leaving only Black Iron-grade ones. There are also beast masters on guard around to prevent Bronze-grade fierce beasts from breaking in... When you hunt fierce beasts, you can form teams or act alone. It is strictly forbidden to use force to snatch others' prey. Violators will be expelled!"
A student asked: "Then do we still have classes?"
"Of course we have classes!" Tan Guo nodded. "Every morning, you only have one hour of class, where we teach combat experience and wild survival knowledge. You can come or not, we won't take attendance... The rest of the time is for fighting, for practical training. Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Many students spoke with no energy.
They could already roughly see their miserable life in the future!
Tan Guo looked at Instructor Chen, and Instructor Chen stood out and said: "By the way, there is one more thing, which is that there are houses for rent behind the supermarket. If you want to rent a house, you also need fierce beast corpses!"
A Class 1 student shouted: "Then we'd better just live in the wooden houses!"
Instructor Chen said with a look of considering them: "But the wooden houses have no toilets, no bathrooms, no..." ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
