Chapter 3: SSS-level Talent: Myriad Beast Affection
The higher the hope, the harder reality's slap stings!
On stage and off, everyone was struck dumb.
The result was too unexpected, almost inexplicable!
"Wang Chen!"
"Top student at Dongyun No.1 High School, and his first job is merely an ordinary Beast Master!?"
Had there been no such shocking phenomenon, people might have grudgingly accepted this outcome.
But...
The principal seemed as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his mindset was on the verge of collapsing.
"This is too much of a letdown!"
His face was clouded with disappointment, but as the school's principal, he could only swallow his bitterness and return to his seat, pretending everything was fine.
In contrast, others’ reactions were much more direct.
Teachers and administrators looked at Wang Chen with a kind of frustration, as if they were disappointed by iron not becoming steel.
Among the students, some gloated, eager to see a genius fall from grace.
Others felt pity, looking at Wang Chen with sympathy.
The one person who laughed the most happily was undoubtedly Qing Chuan.
He almost slapped his thigh with joy!
"Beast Master, great."
"An ordinary combat profession, arguably not even as good as his Gale Archer."
"Serves him right! A mud-legged peasant, dreaming of becoming a phoenix. Pathetic!"
Qing Chuan's eyes were full of malice.
His words were not entirely unfounded.
Beast Master was a known money sink, typically a profession for the wealthy.
And Wang Chen?
Merely a commoner.
"After his first job, Wang Chen probably can’t even afford a single pet."
"With this... what makes him think he can compete with me!"
"Moreover, Beast Masters must share experience points with their pets, and without a powerful pet, Wang Chen won't even be able to level up."
"He's doomed!!"Visitt for the latest updates
Qing Chuan thought viciously.
The teacher’s pupils shrank to pinpoints, face showing an expression of sheer disbelief.
"S... SSS-level!!"
After triple-checking, the teacher confirmed it wasn’t a hallucination, nearly overwhelmed by the sudden joy.
"Oh my...!"
Lost in excitement, she, a teacher, accidentally cursed in front of thousands of students and the principal.
The scene momentarily spun out of control.
Wang Chen quickly steadied her, avoiding the embarrassing spectacle of her falling in public.
The teacher, still in shock, could hardly conceal her surprise.
This was outrageous beyond belief!
She had anticipated Wang Chen might have a B-level talent, possibly B+ or A.
But S, SS, SSS... were exceedingly rare in the country.
People with such talents were invariably influential, renowned figures!
After regaining her composure with Wang Chen’s support, the teacher swallowed hard, mind racing.
"No!"
"Under no circumstances can this be exposed. It’s SSS-level!"
"Oh my, with this talent, Dongyun No.1 High School might soar if he grows!"
Opportunity and risk coexisted.
Exposure would be perilous for Wang Chen.
Envy.
Sabotage.
Visible threats were easy to counter, but hidden dangers were hard to guard against.
Should anything happen, she would be condemned by the nation!
Under many eyes, the teacher's face flushed with excitement, loudly declaring: "B-level talent, just up to standard, not bad."
"Rest assured, I’ll help you get the subsidy!"
The crowd buzzed with another commotion.
"Only B-level talent!?"
"Haha!"
"I finally surpass you, Wang Chen! As a Gale Archer, I have an A-level talent, while you're only B-level!"
"Trash! When the job change exams come, I'll trample over you!"
Among the crowd, Qing Chuan’s expression turned smug.
To him, Wang Chen’s B-level talent was practically worthless.
