STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

The news has begun spreading across University 14. The first ones to hear were the second-year students because they were the ones who were looking forward to this year’s first-year results.

They wanted to know whether they had done their best or not. To their surprise and shock, they learned that the highest kill count was achieved by the S-Grader of the Elemental Department, followed by the S-Grader of the Control Department.

Both of their individual kill counts surpassed the individual kill counts of last year.

What’s more, the total department kill count has surpassed them as well. The second-years had no face left; they thought it was over. But another shocking piece of news shook them to the core, that someone had killed the Tier-3 Corrupted Beast.

The Beast Tamer who slayed it was an A-Grade Talent. The shocking part of the news was that he had killed it without relying on his lifeline beast.

He was also the department representative of the Striker Department, the Fallen Department, which is going to be redeveloped.

This news, one by one, sent shockwaves across the University. Even the third and fourth-year Beast Tamers found it hard to believe.

Some people couldn’t believe it, so they sent others to verify the news. It didn’t take much time to confirm it.

When they learned that it was true, all the senior-year Beast Tamers were motivated to perform better as well. The first-year had done it; he had killed a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast, two levels above him.

Because of this, the name Jeremy Night started to become famous—so much so that it began to surpass the fame of two S-Graders.

Meanwhile,

Violet Heath, who was also a third-year student, heard the news.

”Interesting,” she smiled. She had been paying attention to the Striker Department redevelopment matter.

She didn’t expect Dean Carolyn’s decision to be right. She was skeptical as well. To think a fallen department representative had done better than two S-Graders.

She thought the families behind those two would be the most disappointed. She knew the families behind the two S-Graders had paid a lot to change the event venue.

They had done well, but the Beast Tamer Jeremy Night had caught everyone’s attention. Her long purple hair swayed. She decided to keep an eye on this interesting junior as well.

She couldn’t recruit him because this junior brother’s background was related to the Human Alliance, but she could start investing in him. An A-Grade Talent’s upper limit is slightly lower than an S-Grade’s.

But with the resources, they could reach a higher tier as well. She was already thinking about getting Jeremy’s help in the future.

On the other hand, one more influential person paid attention to the news as well. He was Ernest Knox. After hearing the news, he was pleasantly surprised.

Like the Heath family, the Knox family is one of the shareholders in University 14. If the University could redevelop the Fallen Department, they could recruit more Beast Tamers, which he thought was a win-win situation.

In City A, even before the official rankings were released, university students passed the news to their respective forces. It didn’t take much time for the elite and other top families to get the information.

At first, they were in disbelief as well, but after receiving so many confirmations, they couldn’t help but believe it. They also dug up information about the Beast Tamer who had killed the Tier-3 Corrupted Beast.

They obtained the information quickly. After learning that the kid was one of the City Governors’ son in City C, some families sighed. They had thoughts of recruiting him into their family.

Now they couldn’t do anything about it because the Human Alliance would keep an eye on such talented individuals, and that kid happened to be from a family close to the Human Alliance.

It could be said that the kid was related to the Human Alliance.

The May Lindsey and Victor Scott families were also in a state of shock. They refused to believe such news. They had paid a huge amount to change the event, but the outcome was unexpected and not in their favor.

They thought Dean Carolyn was playing with them. So these two families tried to seek help from their connections, for example, the Heath and Knox families. These two families were shareholders of University 14.

They could confirm the news, whether it was true or not. But they didn’t know that the elders of these two families were surprised as well.

They had found that Jeremy Night’s information was marked confidential by the orders of someone from the Human Alliance. This happened right after Jeremy Night’s contract signing.

These two families learned that the Human Alliance had been paying attention to Jeremy Night from the beginning, which was a shock to them. Then they sent a message to other top families, including the Lindsey and Scott families.

The message stated not to trouble Jeremy Night; otherwise, they would face the wrath of the two families.

This short message sent a strong message across every top family. The Lindsey and Scott families had become obedient. They had thought the kid was from a City Governor family but weren’t afraid.

Because there are hundreds of City Governor families across the Zones. But the message sent by the two families contained a subtle warning. So the Lindsey and Scott families had no other choice but to forget about this matter.

On the other hand, Petra Ross and Levy Glass sent back the news to their families as well. They did not forget to include the performance of Jeremy Night.

It won’t be long before the whole City C celebrates the victory of Jeremy Night.

While all of this was happening, Jeremy Night was in deep sleep. He didn’t know what was going on outside. Even if he heard it, he wouldn’t care about it.

Even in his dreams, he wanted to collect as many resources as possible for his unknown egg lifeline beast.
