STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Auditorium,

Jeremy’s eyes flash with an expectation. There are 10 departments in the University. He doesn’t know which one he will be under. Just as he was lost in his thoughts.

He felt a fierce gaze on him. Jeremy felt Someone was observing him. He opened his eyes and followed the source and found a familiar person looking at him.

The person is none other than Petra Ross. She waved her hand at him. In response, Jeremy nodded his head in reply. He knew that the 2 people arrived before him.

But he didn’t pay attention to them earlier.

”If she is here, then what about him?” Jeremy thought.

Then he casually looks around the auditorium. It’s not easy to find him among 300 people. So he decided to wait until the opening ceremony was over.

Time passed,

After 30 minutes, the ceremony came close to an end. All the 9 Department Representatives gave their introduction speech except the last one, Striker Department.

Jeremy thought someone would give a speech. To his surprise, the Teacher stepped forward.

”The representatives have successfully given their speech. With that opening ceremony came to an end. The department and class details will be sent to your mail later.”

”You guys will be given the option to choose which department. Then the Teachers will review it before giving permission.”

”Before leaving, everyone should collect their uniforms and accessories outside the building,” After saying that, Teacher Jacob left.

”That’s all,” Jeremy uttered in a surprise. He was expecting something else. The Department Teachers and the Dean of the University would make an appearance.

But nothing like that has happened. Jeremy feels that they are still under some kind of observation. Before coming here, he had heard from his father that Central University would do everything to find Beast Tamer’s strengths and weaknesses.

The auditorium has multiple exits. The staff waited outside the auditorium distributing new uniform sets and accessories. Jeremy stood up to leave as well. But he stopped after seeing Petra Ross coming towards him.

”So you spent 2 days inside the room. I thought you would come outside to explore the place,” Petra Ross said in a serious tone.

Jeremy smiled and replied, ”I know you are competitive. But we have time for that. Let’s not fight each other before figuring out our department and class.”

”What’s there to figure out? I’m going to enter the Elemental Department. If I’m not wrong, you will enter either the Attack Department or Defense Department,” Petra Ross said with a smile.

Hearing that, he sighed inwardly. She is making assumptions because of his lifeline beast. But she doesn’t know that the lifeline beast is an unknown egg.

Jeremy can’t take it out to fight against the Corrupted Beast. So, he should forget about entering the Attack and Defense Department.

”Why are you spacing out?”

”Let’s go, that moron is waiting for us,” Petra said.

He immediately realised who the other person might be. Then he followed her towards the exit.

On the other hand, some students stayed behind to make connections. The Department Representatives are especially introducing each other.

May Lindsey is speaking to other female representatives. Victor Scott is delighted to make a few more connections.

Jeremy’s eyes flickered as he saw this scene. He couldn’t take his eyes off the 2 S-Graders and other A-Graders Department Representatives.

Among the freshers this year, there are only 2- S Graders who joined Central University 14. So most focus will be on them.

After pushing down these thoughts, he walked out of the building with Petra.

”I guess you are deeply thinking about something else. What is it?”

”I heard you went to the western settlement to hunt down the Corrupted Beasts. So I couldn’t help but feel curious about your lifeline Beasts,” Petra Ross said.

Her eyes flash with a fighting intent. After leaving home a couple of days before him. She has devoted herself to training. All because of that news.

She couldn’t believe it when her father sent her news saying that Jeremy Night had slayed Tier-3 Wolf Corrupted Beast. She is keeping the raging heart inside and speaking pleasantly outside.

Jeremy furrows his eyebrows. He realises that she is being overly nice to him. Back in the city, the three families are rivals. Hardly, they had a friendly conversation with each other.

Though there weren’t any abusive incidents. But he had faced multiple places being looked down upon. Because their family is weak in foundation compared to others.

So Jeremy decides to be careful when speaking to her. He then started walking towards the stall where the Uniforms and accessories were given.

”Hey, wait for me,” Petra called out.

She can see that for some reason. Jeremy is absent-minded right now.

”But where is that idiot?” She muttered.

”Petra!”

A loud shout behind her drew her attention. When she turned around. She saw Levy Glass walking towards her.

”Petra, where is he?” Levy immediately asked.

”He is there to collect his uniform,” Petra replied, standing cross-armed.

”Did you find out about his Lifeline beast?” Levy asked. His eyes flash with a sharp glint.

”No, do you think he doesn’t know our intention,” Petra replied helplessly.

”Too bad, if we can know his lifeline beast, then I’ll ask my older brother and sister for its weakness. Then it would be easy to defeat him in future,” Levy said in a solemn tone.

Tsk!

Petra’s mouth twitches. Because she had the same idea.

”So are you going to enter the Control Department?”

Petra asked.

”Ha...Ha...Ha..., obviously,” Levy said with a laugh.

”Initially, I thought about entering the defence department or control department.”

”But after knowing that the Control Department representative is Victor Scott. I have made the decision to enter the Control Department,” Jeremy added.

He feels proud to be in the same department as Victor Scott who is S-Grader, Spider Lord.

”Harumph, compared to him Jeremy is nobody. There is a difference between S-Grade and A-Grade,” He thought.

”My department representative is May Lindsey. She is S-Grader, Ice Supreme. Our two departments will shine better than others,” Petra said with a smile.

On the other hand, Jeremy has already received the uniform and accessories. He placed it inside the storage ring.

When he turned towards Petra. He saw another familiar person. The person is Levy Glass. Both of them are chatting and laughing.

”Now she changes to her usual self,” Jeremy thought.
