STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

The middle-aged man saw that the young man was at Tier-1 Rank 1, Peak Stage.

”Teacher Jacob, I think this kid can survive easily,” he commented.

”Well, I know. He has combat talent. So I want him to fight against the Tier-2 Corrupted Beast,” Jacob said with a smile.

The guard then nodded his head and guided them to one of the training grounds. When they arrived at the place, they saw it was a spacious field surrounded by walls.

It had two entry/exit points. They were standing in front of one of the entrances. From the opposite entrance, the caged corrupted beast might be released.

Jeremy squinted his eyes. He didn’t know what type of Corrupted Beasts were locked up here, but he was ready to impress everyone with his fighting talent.

”Alright, I’ll inform the in-charge here.” After saying that, the middle-aged man left. He was one of the guards patrolling the training ground.

The real in-charge was someone else. Jacob knew the person as well.

Shortly afterward, a middle-aged woman arrived. She was wearing a tight combat uniform. She appeared to be a mercenary rather than a teacher.

”Ariel,” Jacob called out.

”Jacob, I heard you are assigned to a fallen department,” the brown-haired woman said with a smile.

Jacob smiled wryly. It couldn’t be helped. He couldn’t show his anger here.

”Yes, I’m the instructor of the Striker Department. Could you let one of the Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts outside so that my department representative can fight against it?” Jacob asked.

”Oh,” Ariel raised her eyebrows in surprise.

”When did he start acting polite?” Ariel asked herself.

Then she thought that his appointment to the fallen department must have humbled him. She then set her gaze on the kid.

”Hey, kid. What’s your name?” Ariel asked.

”Jeremy Night,” Jeremy replied.

”Since you are representing the Striker Department, I assume you won’t use your lifeline beast. Am I right?” she asked.

”Yes, I’m going to kill the Corrupted Beast with my own hands,” Jeremy said in neither a humble nor an arrogant tone.

Ariel felt that the young man was confident. To be honest, before coming here, her colleagues were discussing the department representatives.

Naturally, the name of Jeremy Night was brought up as well. So she was aware that the kid in front of her was a child from one of the City Governors’ families in City C.

”I’m going to release the Tier-2 Corrupted Beast. So get ready. If there is an emergency situation, I will intervene immediately,” Ariel said.

Sigh!

Jacob sighed. He didn’t expect her to accept this request smoothly. Then he realized maybe she wanted to know Jeremy’s strength as well.

Creak!

The huge iron rod gate opened up.

Jeremy Night walked inside. The gate closed down automatically.

Jacob said, ”Jeremy, show me your A-Grade talent.”

Jeremy turned around and smiled at him. He could see that Instructor Jacob was still unsure of what to expect from him. Maybe his duel could shed some light.

Jeremy wanted to improve the status of the Striker Department as well.

Creak!

The door on the opposite side was lifted up.

Growl!

A Corrupted Beast was making a deep growling sound. Then it walked into the open field. The next second, its appearance became clearer.

”Black Wild Boar,” Jeremy uttered in surprise.

Because it was one of the wild animals that had become more sinister after mutation. Among the corrupted beasts, it was considered a troublesome bunch.

Because their population was higher than that of Bloodthirsty Salamanders and other corrupted beasts, it was hard work for the City Governors to wipe them out completely when their group was found near human settlements.

”It’s a good choice,” Jacob commented.

The Black Wild Boar was a commonly known Corrupted Beast. It was also an important training beast for the Beast Tamers.

At the same time, Ariel Burt arrived as well.

”So, what do you think?” Ariel asked.

Jacob smiled and replied, ”Unlike other newcomers, this kid has a background. He is familiar with combat training.”

”So I believe he can kill the Tier-2 Wild Boar. But it might take time,” he added.

”I’m thinking the same as well,” Ariel commented.

Though it was a Tier-2 Corrupted Beast, it was not an easy one. It wouldn’t wait for the attacker to slay it. So both thought Jeremy had to work out a plan before killing it.

On the other hand, Jeremy was facing an almost 6 ft tall Corrupted Beast. It had a long snout and tusks. What’s more, its body was a giant mass of meat.

The Black Wild Boar usually kills people by charging into them with its massive body.

Jeremy Night immediately took out the Black Katana from his storage ring. He held it tightly in his right hand.

At the same time, the Black Wild Boar was grunting continuously. The Corrupted Beast was already dangerous to begin with. Now, it had been held captive for some time.

Its mood had worsened.

Growl!

After letting out a deep growl, the Boar started charging towards the human. It wanted to smash the enemy in front of it into pieces.

Jeremy Night’s eyes flickered. He didn’t want to start using Starlight energy right away. He could kill the Tier-2 Corrupted Beast without it.

When the Beast got closer, Jeremy moved his body away from the spot. At the same time, he swung the katana.

Slash!

The katana blade went deep inside, slashing the skin and flesh vertically.

Pfff!

The next second, the blood started to pour down like water. The cut went smoothly. This all happened within seconds.

Growling!

The Black Wild Boar became enraged. The injury made the Beast more violent. It turned around immediately and started charging towards the attacker with its massive body.

Swoosh!

This time, the beast was stimulated by something. Its speed doubled.

On the other hand, Jeremy managed to widen the gap. But with his Supreme Combat Body Talent, he noticed the changes in the Beast.

The Wild Boar was acting like it was on drugs. It was extremely violent. Jeremy didn’t take any chances. He took the initiative to attack.

Slash!

He targeted the right side of the body of the wild boar. His katana became a whirlwind, slashing downward. The blade penetrated deep inside the flesh.

Pfff!

The cut was deep, causing serious injury. The blood gushed out fast.

Scream!

The Wild Boar reacted to the pain with a loud scream. The katana slashes left it with half life.
