Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Chapter 1539 I Still Hope

"Where have you been in this freezing weather?" Upon hearing this, Josang glanced at the heavy snow falling outside the window, picked up his phone again, and dialed Teacher Michaela's number.

"Dudu."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

No one answered. Josan put down his phone, not paying much attention, thinking that Teacher Michaela was probably busy right now.

at the same time.

In the midst of the heavy snowfall, Michaela stared at the disconnected phone for a while before continuing his aimless wandering down the street.

"Spray?"

Seeing this, Penjami called out, indicating that she wouldn't answer?

“She probably asked me where I am. I’m not in the mood to go back right now,” Michaela said, sounding upset.

"Puff?" Penjami exclaimed, indicating what the dean had said.

The soundproofing of the cell phone made by the Imperial Beast Taming Academy was so good that it didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone. It only knew that its beast tamer was in a bad mood after answering the call.

Michael paused for two seconds before speaking:

"The dean wants to change Qiao Sang's tutor, feeling that with her talent, I am no longer suitable to teach her."

Penjami paused for a moment, then fell silent.

It glanced at its own beast tamer and felt somewhat sad for the beast tamer.

It knew perfectly well that its own Beastmaster, after becoming Qiao Sang's mentor, had been quite proud and happy during this time, even though she hadn't shown it usually. She hadn't been this happy in a long time since the first round of the Interstellar Cup.

About ten seconds later, Penjami cried out:

"Spray spray."

Qiao Sang might not want to change mentors.

Michaela said calmly, "The Dean is actually right. With Josan's talent, she needs a mentor who is more suitable for her now."

Her tone was calm, as if she had already let go of the past, but her face showed a look of utter despair.

To be fair, if I were Qiao Sang, having become an S-rank Beastmaster at the age of eighteen, I would definitely choose a better mentor instead of someone like me who only made it to the first round of the Star Cup.

"Spray spray."

Looking at her beast tamer, Penjami didn't know how to comfort her.

In its view, Josan was indeed the most talented human it knew. Although its own beast tamer was currently at a higher level than her, it would be surpassed sooner or later. It was normal for Josan to find a human with a higher level to be its mentor.

Michael wandered aimlessly through the streets, with Penjami quietly following beside him.

The atmosphere became somewhat sad and quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Michaela picked up her phone as she walked.

It was a message from "my dear student Qiao Sang":

[Teacher, I'd like to eat Chinese food tonight (shyly)]

Michaela stopped, turned on the navigation, and searched for nearby restaurants serving Chinese cuisine.

"Spray?"

Penjami cried out, as if to ask what was wrong.

"It's lunchtime, we should buy some food and head back," Michaela said as she searched for nearby restaurants.

Penjami looked at her Beastmaster and sighed heavily in her heart.

The poor beast tamer was already so upset, yet he still had to pretend everything was fine and buy food to take home.

After half an hour.

suite.

Michael and Penjami appeared out of thin air, carrying a pile of food.

"Teacher, you're back." Qiao Sang heard the noise and turned around. When she saw the pile of things in Teacher Michaela's hands, her eyes lit up. She stood up from the sofa and walked over, saying, "Why did you buy so much food today?"

Because she didn't know how many more meals she could eat with him like this, Michaela put the bag in her hand on the table and said in her usual tone, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat Chinese food? There happens to be a restaurant nearby, so I bought a little extra."

"This is way too much," Qiao Sang said, looking at the table almost completely covered with dishes.

Michaela changed the subject: "Have you signed up for the S-rank Beastmaster exam?"

Speaking of this, Qiao Sang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Do you know what the task assigned to me is?"

Michaela looked up and asked in surprise:

"The mission has already been issued?"

Based on her understanding of the S-level professional beast tamer assessment, after applying, the materials have to be submitted layer by layer, and it takes about a month before an examiner will contact her. If things go smoothly, it will take about a week. That's how it was for her when she took the assessment.

She had just registered and was contacted by examiners who even assigned her tasks; this was the first time she had ever experienced anything like this.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "It's an examiner named Felix. He came specifically to confirm the news that Ice Saint Asia had broken through the racial limit, and he also gave me a task."

"I see," Michaela inquired. "It seems this examiner works in the Beast Taming Alliance, responsible for pet information."

What kind of mission is it?

Qiao Sang said resentfully, "Let's find an alien pet in the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star."

Michaela paused for a moment: "An alien pet?"

“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded slightly, her tone becoming even more resentful: “The search area is the eastern hemisphere of the entire Tianyuan Star, and we don’t even know what that alien pet looks like. It even has the ability to transform into other races and humans.”

Michaela frowned and said, "This task is a bit difficult."

“That’s right.” Qiao Sang said worriedly, “Not to mention we don’t even know what that alien pet looks like, the search area is so big. What if we search in country A and don’t find it, and then we go to country B and it goes to country A again?”

Michaela pondered for a moment and said, "This might require the help of a mechanical-type pet."

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "A mechanical pet?"

Michaela nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we find mechanical-type pets that specialize in gathering intelligence, we can quickly narrow down the search and find pets that have the ability to transform and that are not registered in the Beast Taming Alliance."

She paused, then added, "Of course, that's not necessarily true. If it were really that easy to find, the Beast Taming Alliance would have found it on its own instead of issuing it as a quest."

Qiao Sang guessed, "Perhaps even the Beast Taming Alliance isn't sure if it's really an alien pet, since the examiner told me it was highly suspected."

“No matter what, it’s always a good idea to ask a mechanical-type pet for help with this mission,” Michaela said. “It will definitely be much more efficient than you searching for one yourself.”

The mechanical-type pet, Qiao Sang, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "What do you think about asking Gui Lun Sai Er for help?"

Michaela looked at her and said, "Our Imperial Class students cannot rely on the school's resources to complete this kind of assessment task."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang showed a disappointed expression.

When it comes to intelligence gathering, the most powerful mechanical pet she can think of is Guilunsail.

Michaela glanced at Jossan, sat down at the table, and said calmly:

"I contacted the dean today and talked about your brain breakthrough and your contract with Sharara. The dean said to contact her again when you come back, as she has something to say to you."

Penjami glanced at her Beastmaster. Qiao Sang's first reaction was one of being flattered, but then she remembered that she and Lu Bao had broken through at the same time and had also formed a contract with Xia Lala, so she suddenly felt it was quite normal to have a chat with her. As she sat down in the chair, she asked:

"What does the dean want to tell me?"

Michaela paused for a moment, then resumed his normal hand, saying:

"I don't know. She only said to contact her when you get back. Let's eat first, and then contact the director after we finish eating."

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang said, "I'd better contact the dean now."

Given the dean's generosity, having broken through to the level of an S-rank Beastmaster and even formed a contract with Sharara, he would definitely be rewarded with a lot of points.

Thinking about this, she couldn't wait any longer.

Josan looked at Teacher Michaela with sparkling eyes, expectantly hoping she would quickly take out her phone.

Michaela paused for two seconds, unlocked his phone, found the dean's contact information, and instead of dialing directly, pushed the phone in front of Jossan.

She appeared very quiet, quite unlike her usual self.

Qiao Sang was so engrossed in thinking that the dean would definitely give her a lot of points as a reward that she didn't realize that she had quickly picked up her phone and dialed the number.

"Dudu."

The call was answered after only two beeps.

"Hello." The dean's voice came through the loudspeaker.

Josang instinctively straightened his back, spoke respectfully, and went straight to the point: "Dean, I am Josang. Teacher Michaela said you have something to say to me."

Michaela buried his head in his food.

Penjami glanced at Qiao Sang, who was answering the phone, and then at her own Beastmaster, letting out a heavy sigh.

On the other end of the phone, Theresa's voice softened considerably as she said, "I heard from Michaela that your brain capacity has broken through to 70%, and you've also formed a contract with Sharara."

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement, speaking modestly but with a hint of pride, "I never expected to become an S-rank Beast Tamer at such a young age."

I've become an S-rank Beastmaster at such a young age, so hurry up and tell me about the points reward.

Theresa exclaimed, "I have never heard of your talent before. Not to mention since the establishment of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, even in the entire interstellar space, there has never been a beast tamer with such high talent as you."

Qiao Sang had just been praised by the examiner and was already immune to it, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but turn up, and she was just about to say something humble.

But then Theresa continued, "I asked you to contact me because I wanted to tell you about changing your tutor."

Qiao Sang: "???"

Qiao Sang suddenly jumped up from her chair, her face full of astonishment: "Change tutors?!"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Teacher Michaela.

Michaela lowered his head, pretending not to hear, and continued to silently shovel rice into his mouth.

Penjami glanced at her Beastmaster and sighed inwardly once again.

"Indeed?"

He stared wide-eyed.

Change advisors?

Does that mean they're going to replace their own beast tamer?

Ya Bao and the others looked at their own Beastmaster, then at Michaela, their expressions ranging from blank to astonished to thoughtful.

Only Tingbao reacted completely differently; his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had heard some earth-shattering good news.

Did Teacher Michaela already know about the Dean's plans? When Josan saw Teacher Michaela eating with her head down and not looking at him, his heart sank. He took his phone and went to his room to continue the call.

Michaela stopped eating.

"Xiaxia."

Xia Bao seemed to understand something as well, and floated to Michaela's side, looking like she didn't know how to comfort her.

Michaela, unusually, did not look at Shabao, but sat silently.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang's voice came from inside the room: "I don't want to change my tutor."

Michaela: "!!!"

Michaela's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had come back to life. He turned to look in the direction of the room, his face full of shock and astonishment.

"Spray spray."

Penjami's gaze also turned towards the room, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and emotion.

“Teacher Michaela is very good. If it weren’t for her, Lu Bao wouldn’t have been able to evolve so quickly this time, and I wouldn’t have been able to receive Lu Bao’s feedback and successfully break through my brain,” Josang said in a low voice in the room.

Although the voice was lowered considerably, it was still clearly audible to the S-rank professional beast tamers and Penjame, and even Tingbao could clearly hear his own beast tamer's voice.

"Tingting."

Tingbao's excitement vanished, replaced by a helpless expression and a sigh.

It knew its beast tamer wouldn't agree so easily.

inside the room.

Qiao Sang answered the phone.

“Don’t rush to refuse,” Theresa said on the other end of the phone. “I know you and Michaela have a good relationship, but your talent is more than enough to match our school’s best mentors. I’m not saying Michaela isn’t good, but with your talent, I believe many mentors who have achieved more than Michaela, or even retired mentors, would be willing to return to the school to teach you.”

“I really don’t need it, I don’t want to change mentors,” Qiao Sang refused again.

Theresa paused for two seconds, then said, "Do you know Dean Rakesh Gad?"

Dean Rakesh Gad? Josang paused for a moment, then honestly replied, "I don't know."

Theresa explained, "He is the former dean of our Beast Taming Academy, having served as our dean for 559 years. He personally mentored 11 students who participated in the Interstellar Cup. Many of our school's instructors are also his students. I think he is more suitable to be your instructor."

Former Dean? He served as the Dean of the Beast Taming Academy for 559 years… This… Qiao Sang was flattered, but then she remembered Teacher Michaela, quickly calmed down, and asked:

"The former dean must have retired a long time ago. Would he still be willing to come out and teach students?"

So, it really is the former dean who is teaching? In the living room, the light in Michaela's eyes dimmed.

She didn't think anyone could refuse the former dean's teachings.

Inside the room, on the other end of the phone, Theresa laughed and said, "He definitely wouldn't agree if it were anyone else, but if it's you, believe me, he'd be more than happy to."

If she weren't the current dean with various matters to handle every day, she would want to fly to Tianyuan Star, replace Michaela, and teach Josan.

Qiao Sang fell silent.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted when I learned that the former dean would also be teaching me. After all, he was the former dean of the Beast Taming Academy. Putting aside the issue of strength, he would definitely have more resources, and maybe points wouldn't be a problem in the future.

But

Josan's mind flashed with images of Michaela and Penjami, along with various scenes from their past interactions, and she said firmly:

"I'm sorry, Dean, but I still prefer to be taught by Teacher Michaela." (End of Chapter)
