Beast Taming Patrol

"Shumo, look quick! Your junior male god has arrived!"

In the spectating area next to a battle platform, a girl with a beautiful face pointed her finger and poked the cheek of another girl sitting next to her.

That delicate face, partly hidden by long straight black hair, swiftly gained a cute dimple.

"What male god junior are you talking about!" Gu Shumo, while shyly swatting away her friend's hand and giving her buttocks a smack, nervously looked in the direction her friend was pointing. Upon seeing that figure in the crowd, she couldn't help but let out a slight huff.

"Come on, let's go have a look!" Her friend, rubbing her little butt from the smack, pulled Gu Shumo along as they both jogged forward.

"You go, I don't want to!" Gu Shumo muttered, clearly reluctant, yet allowing her friend to drag her along.

"Hey, seriously though, didn't your cherished junior ask you out for a meal or something after returning from the preparatory camp?" While walking, the friend curiously inquired.

"There was once, more than two months ago…" Gu Shumo mumbled quietly, her lips pursed high with displeasure as she thought back to some unpleasant memories.

"Eh? You never told me about that, what happened?" Her friend's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Just…had a meal…" Gu Shumo replied, noticeably uncomfortable.

"And then?" Her friend pinched Gu Shumo's arm softly, leaving a faint red mark on her fair skin, "Spill it already!"

"Then… he said he wanted to see the posture of me and Snowball after Guardian Beast Co-operation." Gu Shumo's expression became slightly complex.

"Wow, cat ear girl, eh!" Her friend's expression mixed with glee at juicy news, "Didn't expect the seemingly serious junior has such weird kinks. So then, you're set, right?"

"Set for what!" Gu Shumo's face darkened, "Then he took two serious photos and just left…"

"Huh?" Her friend seemed disappointed, "That's too plain. Wasn't there anything… juicy?"

"Get out of here! I'll give you something juicy!" Gu Shumo pinched her friend's waist hard and huffed off toward the crowd.

Just as they arrived, they heard Li Qingmei's voice.

"The second item of business, add Lin Su to the list of main team members."

Gu Shumo blinked, her eyes widening suddenly.

Her own strength in Battle Club was barely enough to keep her from the bottom, only rising a bit after her beast's evolution.

So this joint training didn't have much to do with her.

But she was aware of it; it was said that the main twenty members all possessed master-level strength.

How did Lin Su become a main member?

He's just a freshman, right?

Surely his strength isn't enough?

"Good grief, your junior's amazing, huh!" Her friend, wrapping an arm around Gu Shumo's waist, exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Shumo didn't reply. She sneakily watched Lin Su, encircled by a crowd, a faint blush spreading across her face.

Damn it!

How did this guy get even more attractive after not seeing him for over a month!

…

"Teacher Li, I can't accept this!" A tall club member quickly stepped out of the group, his face filled with resentment, "I acknowledge Lin Su's exceptional achievements in research, but to achieve good results in the joint training, we need every team member to have the highest possible strength."

"Isn't this decision a bit hasty?" the member asked loudly, "Lin Su being a substitute is fine, but he's clearly lacking to be a main member."

"Why don't you have a match with him to test him out?" Li Qingmei didn't explain, just smiling slyly.

"Test it out, then!" The member huffed, then turned to Lin Su, "Junior Lin Su, would you be willing to fight me? If you win, I will have no more objections."

"What's the senior's name?" Lin Su blinked.

"Qi Hong!"

Lin Su fell silent for a moment.

So this was the unlucky guy he had replaced.

He turned to look at Li Qingmei, and after catching her encouraging gaze, fell silent before nodding, "Then let's do it."

"Cooperative combat, beasts do not fight on their own." After briefly explaining the rules, Qi Hong immediately merged with one of his beasts, surrounded by a pale blue Cooperation Light and leapt onto the nearest vacant battle platform.

He huffed, and a raging storm erupted along with the terrifying normal-state energy of several hundred thousand, stirring up gusts around them.

The platform's integrated detector quickly displayed his current normal-state energy on the screen.

[Cooperative Body Normal-State Energy: 401204P]

As the screen displayed the test result, exclamations and admiration emerged from the surrounding club members.

After revealing his own strength, Qi Hong's face held an extra touch of arrogance.

He wasn't known for nothing; Qi Hong had truly earned his place!

"Let's go, junior Lin Su! Show me what qualifies you to take my spot as a main member!"

"With due respect, I will oblige." Lin Su nodded.

Ever since he mastered Guardian Beast Co-operation in battle.

He hadn't yet fought against another Beast Tamer who had also mastered Guardian Beast Co-operation.

Strictly speaking, this would be the first time.

"Hee! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" ("It's my turn this time!")

Ghostie had somehow emerged from Lin Su's shadow and was tugging at his sleeve, eyes filled with eagerness.

Last time, Lin Su partnered with Big Brother and defeated Yan Su.
