Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

Chapter 9: The Selection Is Over

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Very quickly, the allocated selection time was over.

The homeroom teacher stood at the door and called out to the students through the badge on his chest.

“Students, it’s time. Everyone, bring your spirit beasts back and gather.”

“Huh? I haven’t found a suitable spirit beast yet.”

Upon hearing this sound, many students immediately panicked.

There were only three free chances to choose a spirit beast, and each time, one could sign a contract with a spirit beast and go home.

If he missed the first time, he could still choose in the second and third times, but there would be no more chances after that.

If one failed to pick a spirit beast one liked after three chances... a huge selection fee would be imposed. An ordinary family would not be able to afford this.

The students who had not picked a spirit beast yet quickly gathered around the nearest spirit beast and picked one up without any hesitation.

“No way! I know time’s running out, but someone is actually choosing the Fire Barrel Boar.”

Shen Fei looked over curiously.

Beside the Fire Barrel Boar’s cage was the bootlicker, Shale.

The Fire Barrel Boar did not seem interested in him. It sniffed twice, turned around, and wiggled its butt to leave.

“No, stupid pig! Come back here!”

Seeing that there was not enough time, Shale immediately grabbed the boar’s hind leg and lifted it up.

“Hmph!”

The Fire Barrel Boar was upside down in the air, frantically waving its short forelimbs and kicking its hind legs, but it could not break free.

“Don’t move!” Shale ruthlessly smacked the little pig’s head, and the little pig immediately quieted down.

However, the crowd that had gathered around Shale earlier all moved to the side.

‘Was this bootlicker an idiot?’

Shen Fei raised his brows in confusion.

When Shale picked up the Fire Barrel Boar, he actually dared to point its head downward. This was the easiest position for the Fire Barrel Boar to self-destruct.

‘How foolish...’

Shen Fei quickly stood up from the waiting area and put as much distance as possible between himself and the pig-brandishing idiot. He did not want to be caught in the explosion.

The Fire Barrel Boar had already started to hold its breath.

Seeing how careless Shale was, Shen Fei shook his head.

A Beastmaster’s first spirit beast was directly related to their future advancement and development. As such, they definitely could not just randomly grab one like this.

Instead, they had to consider their own talent, the various attributes, and even the spirit beast’s personality. Their talent would determine the level limit of their first spirit beast.

The reason why most of the spirit beasts released this time were at the Page and Baron ranks was that most of his classmates did not have talents beyond B-class.

This was a choice meant to make it easier for the new Beastmasters’ training.

However, A-class talents like Lilian could choose spirit beasts above Count-class from the get-go because she could completely control it.

BOOM!

After the explosion, the Fire Barrel Boar that Shale had been holding walked back to its cage with its short legs.

Looking at the bloody footprints left behind by the piglet, Shen Fei could guess what had happened.

As expected, the homeroom teacher’s anxious voice came from the badge.

“Students, don’t choose blindly. If you have not chosen a spirit beast, come back quickly! Even if you want to catch one, don’t catch a Fire Barrel Boar!”

“Time to go.” Shen Fei straightened up and patted the dust from his body. He summoned the Flame Owl from the pocket realm in advance and held it in his arms.

“Wow, Shen Fei, the spirit beast you chose is so cute!”

At this moment, Lilian had finished her selection and walked over.

She stretched out her hand and pinched the Flame Owl that was sleeping in Shen Fei’s arms.

However, as soon as she touched it, the Flame Owl went back into the pocket realm.

“Your fire-attribute spirit beast doesn’t seem to like me...”

Looking at Lilian’s aggrieved expression, Shen Fei could not help but laugh.

“It just got off the wrong side of the bed.”

“Then, Shen Fei, are you going to take on a combat style in the future?”

“I’m considering it.” Shen Fei nodded his head.

A spirit beast’s attributes would determine a Beastmaster’s direction in their combat styles.

The Flame Owl was a fire-attribute spirit beast, and its future combat style would definitely be developed around fire-attribute attacks.

However, if it was a Beastmaster with multiple spirit beasts, their combat style would become even more bizarre and varied.

At the same time, having more spirit beasts meant that it would take more time to adapt to the spirit beasts’ moves and formulate battle tactics. In the early stages, it was better to focus on just the first one.

As for the spirit beast’s personality... It would determine whether the spirit beast would listen to the Beastmaster.

Other than the Vine Snake, all the spirit beasts in the beast breeding tower were docile.

Unless one took the initiative to threaten the spirit beasts like Shale did, one did not have to think too much.

“Lilian, what spirit beast did you choose?”

“This is a secret! You’ll know when it’s time to register.”

Looking at Lilian, who was smiling with her little canines showing, Shen Fei gently rubbed her head.

“You’re being so mysterious. I’ll find out sooner or later anyway, so it’s fine if you don’t want to tell me!”

...

“Aloy, are you really not going to choose?”

Aloy and her best friend, Anna, walked out of the beast breeding tower empty-handed.

“What are you afraid of? Even if I don’t choose the one I like three times, the Gelin family has more than enough to pay for the selection fee.”

“Okay, students. Those who have chosen their spirit beasts, come to me for the registration.”

The staff at the entrance of the menagerie waved at Shen Fei and the rest.

“Summon all of your contracted spirit beasts and register them with me one by one! You can only leave the venue after you’ve registered!

Shen Fei looked at Lilian curiously. “Can you let me see your spirit beast now?”

“Alright then, I’ll let you see it!” Lilian stretched out her pale arm and placed it in front of Shen Fei.

“Where?” Shen Fei looked at his surroundings in confusion. He did not see Lilian summon her spirit beast just now.

“It’s here.” Lilian burst into laughter and pointed at the silver feather bracelet on her arm.

“This is a spirit beast I found on the 8th floor, which the school specially granted me access to. It’s a time-attribute Croix Silver Snake.”

Shen Fei took a closer look and discovered that the dozens of small wings on Lilian’s bracelet were constantly flapping along with her breathing.

The color of its body was also constantly switching back and forth between white and gray.

“Cool!”

Although time-attribute spirit beasts were very rare, they were not worth mentioning compared to the Phoenix Bloodline!

Lilian stroked her spirit beast lovingly. “I think so, too. Let’s go, Shen Fei, let’s register together!”

Shen Fei nodded his head. He reached out and summoned the Flame Owl that he had just contracted.

The Flame Owl was very obedient. The moment it was summoned, it stood on Shen Fei’s shoulder without moving.

“Aloy, take a look!” Anna hurriedly pointed at Shen Fei, her words were filled with shock. “Your fiancé actually signed a contract with that Page-rank spirit beast!”
