STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

The middle-aged man said, ”I’m just testing you all. But I’m disappointed by the embarrassing state of freshers this year.”

”I hope this will not be the case in 2 days. You guys can leave now. The staff will guide you back to the Dormitory,” After saying that he dismissed the pressure and left the place.

The people who fainted earlier lowered their heads in embarrassment. They didn’t expect someone would test them here.

Then everyone started to leave the place one by one. Jeremy stood up to leave as well. The students from City A went to strike up a conversation with May Lindsey and Victor Scott.

They want to create a connection right away. Most of the people who stayed back were from City A. Other few left the building.

Jeremy walked out. The staff outside showed the directions to the Dormitory and gave him the room key.

Jeremy then followed others towards the dormitory.

Shortly afterwards,

Everyone arrived in front of a big building. Jeremy doesn’t know whether living quarters will be enough for everyone. What amazes him is that it’s a traditional brick-style building.

The dorm staff quickly guided everyone inside to their room. Jeremy was guided by a person as well.

2 days later,

The freshers were gathered in a large auditorium. More than 300 people are here. When everyone was seated. The middle-aged man in a tuxedo appeared.

He was the same person who embarrassed everyone two days ago.

He walked up to the middle of the stage and looked at everyone. Without giving any signal, he released the oppression again.

This time, the number of people who fainted was low. Because of their prior experience, some managed to withstand better than before.

The middle-aged man accessed everyone before dismissing the oppression. The next second, the students were gasping for breath. They got relief from this terrified feeling.

”My name is Jacob Henry. I’m one of the 1st year teachers here,” The middle-aged man said in a serious tone.

”1st year teacher,” Jeremy muttered. He suspected this would be the answer. Maybe the Teacher is doing this to segregate the Beast Tamers into different classes.

The Strongest Beast Tamer would be in the top class. The Weakest would be in the bottom class. Jeremy’s eyes swept across the students.

As far as he knows there are 300 students here. So the strength of each class might vary depending on their talent.

The other students are digesting the information as well. They have just undergone some kind of test set by the Teacher.

May Lindsey furrows her eyebrows. She doesn’t know why this Teacher is taking this time.

At the same time, Victor Scott is frustrated as well. He really can’t wait to walk out of this place and start making connections here.

Teacher Jacob said, ”I was instructed by the dean to conduct a little test. There is a growing need for new blood each year.”

”In this way, we can handle the pressure put forth by the Corrupted Beasts,” He added.

The mere mention of the ”Corrupted Beasts” quieted down everyone. The earlier enthusiasm was gone.

”I might be spoiling your good mood. But face the reality, you all have come here to train and grow. We want you to become strong and slay as much as Corrupted Beasts as possible,” Jacob said in a serious tone.

Hearing that the students’ mood becomes somewhat better. Most of them are from the City A. So they haven’t witnessed the cruelty of the Corrupted Beasts in real life.

A quick gleam flashes in Jeremy’s eyes. He can see that the Teachers have started setting the path for the students. They don’t want to see any distractions. Only this way they can produce a large number of graduates over the years.

To graduate, you have to be at least Tier 4 at the end of the 4 years of University Study. It’s the lowest standard. Some people graduated earlier because of their fast growth.

Teacher Jacob’s ways flash with approval. Many people had drastic changes in their moods. Because of this awakened talent. He can sense everyone’s emotions. Now most of the students here are serious.

”Alright, everyone. Now the serious talking was done. I’ll get to the topic. Welcome everyone to Central University 14.”

”More than 300 students are here. Most of your talents graded between S to D. The C and D Grade Beast Tamers were given seats because of their unique talent.”

”Teachers here believe that they can make the C and D Grade students strong,” Jacob said.

Gasp!

”What?”

”C and D Grade talents are here!”

”So the rumours were true. The frontline was in dire need of the Beast Tamers.”

”The demand for a number of Beast Tamers is increasing each year.”

”No wonder they allowed useful C and D Grade talent to enter.”

The students discussed in a low tone. Now they understand the meaning behind the Teacher’s earlier speech. Hereafter, no one will question their admission here.

”Now get back to the main topic. Our university has ten departments.”

”Starting from 1. Attack Department, 2. Defense Department, 3. Elemental Department, 4. Control Department, 5. Mechanical Department, 6. Medicine Department, 7. Machinery Department 8. Field Department, 9. Special Department, 10. Striker Department.”

”There are Ten Departments. You will all be placed under different departments based on your talent. The strength of the freshmen class will vary,” Jacob said.

”First, let’s welcome the representative of the Elemental Department for the freshman year, Ms. May Lindsey,” Jacob said.

Clap!

The students started clapping. Especially the students who have elemental talents clapped more. Hereafter, May Lindsey will be representing them as a 1st year representative.

May Lindsey stood up and walked to the stage to give an introductory speech. Everyone looked at her. May Lindsey then started speaking. Her voice sounded pleasant.

After a few minutes, she returns to her seat.

Teacher Jacob then welcomed the representative of the control department to make a speech. The person is none other than Victor Scott.

He made a good speech as well.

As time passed, one by one, the representative of each department was announced.
