STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Inside the arena, the challenger Beast Tamer was ready. When the Hyena reached out his neck to bite, the Beast Tamer used his talent ability.

His fist was covered with a gold-colored element. In the blink of an eye, his entire right arm was covered. The next second, he drew a punch at the beast.

Boom!

His fist made contact with the Hyena’s head. The Hyena let out a low cry. The hit contained the power of Tier-5 Strength, but it was not enough to defeat the Corrupted Beast.

The Hyena felt pain on top of its head before retreating from the spot. By this time, the Golden Lion had already rushed to the Beast Tamer’s side.

Now they had created distance once again.

Cheers!

The Beast Tamers were cheering from the audience seats.

Jeremy’s forehead had small sweat beads. The duel was better than he had imagined. Not only was he seeing the Corrupted Tier-4 Beast, but also the Tier-5 Beast in action.

Unknowingly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Betsy Lowe was not bad either. She was enjoying the experience as well. Apart from the real top elite families, no one could have this access.

They were both from the Governor’s Family, but it was not easy for them to get here as first-years.

Jacob Henry had been observing the reactions of the two from time to time. The development of the Striker Department depended on them.

It might force them to face the toughest situations, including fighting against higher-tier Corrupted Beasts in future.

Time passed.

Both the Corrupted Beasts were going at each other back and forth. Neither of them was able to hurt the other badly.

Jeremy realized that this was how Beast Tamers fought. The Challenger was always acting behind his lifeline beast. Not once did he come forward to support his lifeline Beast.

The Golden Lion was taking the offense all alone.

Jeremy felt something was wrong. This way of fighting was bad. He thought that as long as the Challenger cooperated with his lifeline beast, they could easily deal with the Tier-4 Beast.

Instead, the Hyena was giving them a tough time right now. Jeremy didn’t know why, but he felt it was good to be a Striker. He had killed Corrupted Beasts without needing any direct ability from the lifeline beast.

Talking about abilities, he realized that the lifeline beast, the Golden Lion, had yet to use its ability.

Boom!

Finally, the Challenger gave the command to his lifeline beast.

Roar!

The Golden Lion let out a fierce roar at the Hyena. The Hyena felt fear. It immediately sensed a threat from the roar and retreated to widen the gap.

Boom!

A golden light shot out from the Golden Lion’s mouth. It traveled toward the Hyena in a straight line before hitting it.

A deafening noise sounded.

Cry!

The Hyena received a direct hit on its body. The power of the Tier-5 Beast had caused serious injuries all over its body. The Hyena lay on the ground, crying in pain.

The Golden Lion looked exhausted after releasing that one attack.

The Challenger Beast Tamer smiled. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Cheers!

The audience in the stands began to realize this and started cheering.

”He is going to win,” Betsy said.

Jeremy nodded his head. He realized that the Hyena’s strength was its razor-sharp teeth. It really didn’t have any other attacks.

Now the Golden Light had caused a serious injury. It was impossible for the Hyena to win the duel.

Then Jeremy saw how the Golden Lion pounced on the injured Hyena and bit its neck off.

Pfff!

With one bite, it ripped the head off the Hyena’s body. Blood splattered all over the ground. With that, the Hyena was dead. The Lion Beast let out a huge roar in celebration.

The Challenger Beast Tamer was happy. He had shown immense experience as a Beast Tamer in the duel. He didn’t rush forward to finish the duel. Rather, he waited for the opportunity to kill the Corrupted Tier-4 Hyena Beast at the right time.

The Masked Man presenter appeared once again.

The Challenger Beast Tamer called back his lifeline beast. The next second, the Golden Lion disappeared from the spot.

The presenter then declared the challenger the winner. He asked the staff to clear out the remains. Once that was done, the next matchup started.

Jeremy and Betsy were eager to watch further duels as well.

Time passed.

One after another, Corrupted Tier-4 and Tier-5 Beast showdowns occurred. By the time the sixth match was over, it was already close to sunrise.

Jacob took the two and left the arena. It didn’t take much time for them to return to University 14 in a flying taxi.

After stepping inside University 14, Jacob instructed them not to tell anyone about this. Since they hadn’t slept, he asked them to take a half-day off as well.

Then they parted ways. Jeremy returned to the dorm room a few minutes later and went to sleep.

On the other hand, Betsy did the same. She didn’t have time to call her family. She went to sleep quickly as well.

Whereas Jacob’s activities were discovered by Dean Carolyn. She immediately contacted him and summoned him to her office later.

Jacob wasn’t surprised, but he was amazed that she was able to find out so quickly.

Time passed.

When it was time for class, everyone went to their departments. But the Striker Department was empty. The Machinery and Medicine Departments found out that Jeremy Night didn’t come today.

They began to discuss among themselves. Some of them had seen him going to the training facilities area to train, while a few others had seen him in the library. They couldn’t help but feel envy.

They were being lectured by the instructors. On the other hand, Jeremy Night was doing a lot of self-study. They couldn’t help but wonder what the environment was like inside the Striker Department.

Meanwhile,

Jacob arrived at the Dean’s office. His expression was not good, like someone who had been caught doing something illegal.
