STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Central University 14:

Since May, Lindsey and Victor Scott have not been here. It will add pressure to the Elemental Department and Control Department.

But it doesn’t concern Jeremy Night. Right now, the three of them are facing even more pressure. Forget about getting any kill points; even surviving would be considered a miracle.

Swoosh!

One after another, silhouettes appeared all of a sudden, breaking everyone’s thoughts.

Jeremy saw that the person who appeared was none other than the Department Instructors.

Jacob Henry arrived before them with a solemn expression on his face.

”The Corrupted Beasts Invasion has caught everyone off guard. It has put overwhelming pressure on the entire city.”

”City A is pouring out all the resources, including manpower. All the families, corporations, and other small organizations are sending out their help as well.”

”So you can imagine the level of threat we are facing. The High Tier Beast Tamers won’t take action right away. They will first wait and see to verify the count of Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts.”

”In the meantime, we have to bear the pressure,” Jacob said in a serious tone.

Hearing that, everyone had complicated emotions.

Jeremy could understand their worries. The strength of the Corrupted Beasts at the top tier was not clear yet.

”Instructor, are you going?” Betsy asked.

”Yes, but we will be on standby. Only the dean can order us around,” Jacob replied.

On the other hand, the other instructors were speaking to their Department students as well.

Betsy thought of something before asking, ”Instructor, is there any way for us to act as a team?”

Jeremy raised his head and looked at him with expectation.

”Yes, Instructor. We want to fight in the same team as well. This will increase our chance of survival,” Daniel Stone said with hope.

But Jacob Henry knew it wouldn’t be possible because the City Guards would assign teams according to their strength.

Right now, Jeremy has high combat strength. In his first year, he had no rivals except the S-Graders. He would likely be assigned to a team where they would face Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts.

Jeremy seemed to understand something.

”Let’s go and look at the place first,” Jeremy said.

Hearing that, Betsy lowered her head. She was not naive. She knew that it was close to impossible. Imagine if all other people started making the same request.

Then what would happen? Especially the Beast Tamers from the families would likely want to stick together, which would make others without a background vulnerable.

Daniel Stone sighed inwardly. He seemed to realize that they had made a silly request. Who could pay attention to this stuff in a war-like situation?

”Alright, don’t think too much about it. Prioritize personal safety,” Jacob said.

Shortly afterward,

Several flying vehicles arrived. They were huge trucks. They could each carry 50 people. Starting from the 1st year, the Beast Tamers entered the vehicle with their instructor.

In a blink of an eye, the rest of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years boarded the flying truck.

Swoosh!

Then the flying truck slowly rose from the ground and appeared in mid-air. Then it started moving towards the destination.

The Beast Tamers left on the campus saw the flying truck leaving. It left the University and started moving towards the city gate.

Jeremy Night saw other flying vehicles. Several of them were going in the same direction. Each of them was carrying several dozen Beast Tamers.

Jeremy frowned. The news had not shown the high-end strength of the Corrupted Beasts. Except for the identification of the Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts in the Beast Armies, no other information was provided.

Jeremy thought that the top echelons might know something, but they wouldn’t share it with the public in order not to disrupt public order. Especially in a war-like situation, order was necessary.

About 25 minutes later,

The flying trucks entered the wilderness, crossing the City Gate. There was a huge standing army of Beast Tamers lined up in front. They were not on any one particular side.

But the Beast Tamer Army was standing on all four sides. They were going to face an attack from all directions. The other flying vehicles coming out of the city began to drop the Beast Tamers on the ground one by one.

The Central University 14’s vehicles drew a lot of cheers and attention. The City Administration and Central University are considered as pillars of City A.

The other big families and corporations act on their personal interest. But people put their trust in these two pillars.

So right now, the civilian Beast Tamers and the Beast Tamers from small families were cheering loudly.

Jeremy saw the reception. His mood couldn’t help but become lighter. He has blade skill: Triple Rapid Cuts. He would try to use it without relying too much on the Starlight energy.

He still didn’t know the rules here yet. So he would think of the next course of action after hearing the rules.

The vehicles landed on the ground. Then they stepped out one after another. Instructors were gathered as well. They instructed us to assemble in line as we had in university.

Quickly, the 1st years stood separately; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stood separately.

The Department Instructors stood before their departments.

In the 2nd Year Attack Department, the Department Instructor Hudson’s gaze swept past the 1st years. Finally, he saw three people only on the 10th line.

He immediately recognized they were from the Striker Department. He had seen Jeremy Night’s picture after receiving a scolding from Dean Carolyn.

He recognized Jeremy Night as well. He had thought of giving some meeting gifts, but this war came out of nowhere. He had decided to help out if the situation arose. What could be better than saving one’s life?

So he mentally noted this matter. At the same time, his gaze swept over the attack department members, especially those who had attacked Jeremy Night.

They were released because of this invasion. The City Administration had also released prisoners so that they could fight on the battlefield.

He hoped that these students wouldn’t target Jeremy Night. If something happened, then no one could save them and their families behind them.
