He then turned towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Stone, Instructor Jacob, and Betsy Lowe all came together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy's eyes flickered. He saw them talking and laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob and the others noticed Jeremy had already arrived before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jeremy, did you hear the news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Romeo Barrett has taken a few weeks off,\" Daniel Stone said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Jeremy was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Few days off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For what? The defeat?\" Jeremy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that seems to be the case,\" Instructor Jacob added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy frowned. It's just a friendly spar. He didn't expect the defeat to have an impact on Romeo Barrett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Stone sat in his seat. Instructor Jacob took his seat behind the desk as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Betsy Lowe noticed the confusion on Jeremy Night's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are wondering why?\" Betsy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy nodded to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's because of the senior students' pressure. Word is that some senior students wanted to talk to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Romeo knew about it, so he left early,\" she said in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy frowned deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, we don't have those senior student problems,\" Daniel Stone said from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was dissatisfied inside. Normally, it's the job of the instructors to deal with such situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But apart from their teaching jobs, they didn't seem to care about other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jeremy turned towards Instructor Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, \"Instructor, is there any news about the S-Graders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know that one of them is training. The other one is attending her class. They both said earlier they would challenge you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we don't know when,\" Jacob said in a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, I wanted to bring Daniel and Betsy to the wilderness to do a mission,\" Jeremy revealed his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Daniel Stone and Betsy Lowe exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jacob showed a bewildered expression. He knew that Jeremy Night was stronger, and Betsy and Daniel might drag him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy nodded his head before saying, \"If no one is challenging today, then I'm planning on doing a mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob nodded his head in understanding. He could see that Jeremy didn't want to waste any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can take them along with you. Even if someone issues a challenge, the duel will be held tomorrow,\" Jacob said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, what kind of mission are you planning?\" Daniel Stone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only kill Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts after a huge effort, so he was afraid he might be a hindrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's going to be a simple mission. I'm taking you so you guys can gain experience. If someone bothers you next time, you can defend yourselves,\" Jeremy said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, I'm ready to go,\" Betsy Lowe said after some thought. She wanted to get better as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy left with the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the mission hall building. The trio was quite famous. Their appearance immediately attracted attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy and the others walked into the building. They quickly walked up to the counter to check the available missions on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy let Daniel and Betsy select the mission. He just wanted them to gain experience. He was not going to take them into the deeper parts of the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long for the two of them to select the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission: Kill 10 Tier-2 Rat Beasts troubling the City Workers. There is a Tier-3 Rat Beast lair nearby the City Gate. The Tier-2 Beasts have been increasing in numbers recently. Hunt the Tier-2 Beasts to reduce the pressure on City Workers.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy Lowe and Daniel Stone both agreed on the mission. With their Tier-1 Beast Taming Power, they could defeat the Rat Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they showed it to Jeremy as well. When Jeremy began to go through the mission details, he was taken aback a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect City A to be troubled by this situation as well. If the Tier-2 Rat Beasts appeared back at home, then it would create huge havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem here seemed to be significant. Then he agreed to the mission as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left Central University 14. It didn't take long for them to reach the City Gate, where they started to inquire about the Rat Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guards had known about this problem before, so they shared the details of where they had encountered the Rat Beasts earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy viewed the details. He thought the marked areas were outside the City Gate. But surprisingly, the City Workers had encountered the Rat Beasts inside the City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were just Tier-1 and Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts. The locals here were at least Tier-1 and Tier-2 Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could handle these beasts. But if they were left alone, their numbers might cause real problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, we can start searching for them from known places,\" Jeremy said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission requirement was to kill only 10 Tier-2 Rat Beasts. He thought the City Administration had deliberately not cleared out the lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might want to train new beast tamers with this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the three of them walked on foot. The marked places were close to the city gate. Some were located in old underground sewage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought that the old underground sewage places were the right location to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night, Betsy Lowe, and Daniel Stone arrived at the old residential area. The buildings here were decades old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were investigating, Jeremy found out that only a few families were living here. Because the renovations were pending, many families had shifted to new places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, this place is creepy. Many run-down structures are here. It's a good place for the corrupted beasts to live,\" Betsy Lowe said in a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Stone showed a serious expression as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both confident, but this place didn't seem to hide just rat beasts but other Corrupted Beasts as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy saw the hesitation in their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. I'm here. Even if it's a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast, I can kill it,\" Jeremy assured them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their expressions eased a lot upon hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ce0a38f2968d1f15a1147850d4d7fe6c4c6103c3699b1b7497038d37ef768a6","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-168","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-166",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
