Chapter 20: Pet Beast Research Course
Illustration Teacher jokingly scolded, "You kid, the class representative is not setting a good example, huh!"
"No way, I was just joking. I always write everything seriously."
"As long as that's true."
The teacher took the phone from the class representative and continued speaking.
"You still need to complete your homework on your own. But at other times, you can refer to these apps."
"After scanning a pet beast with the app, it will list possible skill categories and skill names."
"It even has the beast's evolutionary forms, cultivation standards needed for evolution, and which resources are needed. The detailed information will be listed along with various video aids for learning."
"Of course, upgrading to the Gold VIP is necessary for more information, and when you're in a mysterious realm without internet, you'll have to recharge with Diamond VIP for offline scanning and viewing."
The teacher returned the phone to the class representative.
"However, I only mentioned these to let you know that there are supplementary learning tools, but it doesn't mean that you won't need to attend lessons."
"In battle, enemies won't be waiting for you to take out your phone and scan. Moreover, some pet beasts can hurt Beast Masters without even showing up. In these cases, accurate judgment, understanding the effects of the skill, and knowing how to break free are crucial."
"Learning is not just about acquiring knowledge. More importantly, it's about mastering scientific methods, learning how to analyze and solve problems and how to collect, process, select, and manage information."
The illustration teacher accurately controlled the timing of the class, finishing the planned content just as the bell rang.
Thus, their first class ended.
Vincent Wolf opened his phone, and he also had such an app, but since he didn't have money, he couldn't access many functions because he didn't have a membership.
He searched his bank account balance and found he had only a few hundred dollars left.
"I'm really too poor."
"I should find a chance to sell some things and add some money to my wallet, otherwise, I won't even be able to afford food."
He put away his phone, checked the schedule, and took out the textbooks for the next class.
The next class was a research course on pet beasts, focusing on studying and observing pet beasts.
The research focused on the external manifestation of beast attributes, the biological logic involved in the evolution of beast species, and the environment required for beasts to thrive.
The study also includes the observation on behavior of various elemental pet beasts and comparisons between wild pet beasts inside and outside the Hidden Realm.
"It seems that these two subjects are like liberal arts in the Beastmaster World."
Vincent Wolf looked around. Many people were secretly watching him, but no one dared to come over and talk to him.
"Indeed, pretending to be an iceberg does work, but I can't laugh too obviously or forget my image. That's quite uncomfortable."
"I'll see if I can learn any skills in the simulation to reduce my presence, or [Intimidation] would do, making people afraid when they see me."
No wonder Vincent Wolf was so resistant to interacting with the girls. He just felt that the girls in the Beastmaster World were too wild.
Their eyes seemed to regard him as a young girl, and interacting with them felt similar to interacting with his bros from his previous life.
They were really tough!
Their fists were hard!
Research teacher, Cora Thomas, arrived on time at the classroom for the class. She was also the head teacher of Vincent's class.
In the freshman and sophomore years, she taught history in their class, then switched to teaching the pet beast research course in their senior year of high school.
She was a serious middle-aged woman who didn't casually laugh or joke.
She seemed strict, and indeed she was.
But she was only strict when it came to academics. As the top student in the grade, Vincent received the utmost care from head teacher Cora.
After learning about Vincent's family, she helped him with scholarships and financial aids in various ways.
Cora also contracted a little bookworm, but her little bookworm had evolved into a pen spirit, which belonged to the Low-level Commander Species.
However, since Cora's Beast Tamer level hadn't reached Master level, her pen spirit remained a High-level Extraordinary.
"Class begins!"
Standing on the podium, Cora scanned the class with her sharp eyes, and the entire class fell silent, as if there was a terrifying beast sitting on the podium, exerting [Intimidation].
"Some students mentioned wanting to see my Pen Spirit a couple of weeks ago. I agreed but didn't keep my promise."
"It's not because I changed my mind. It's because I needed some time to prepare the materials."
After saying that, a summoning array appeared, and a black ink-like pet beast resembling a brush appeared in the air.
At the same time, Cora's PPT courseware opened, and she began her course.
"Little Bookworms and their higher evolutionary forms are unique species within Kyoto City's Four Star Secret Realm - the Literary Path Secret Realm."
"Beast Tamers can only contract them by entering the Secret Realm. However, the Four Star Secret Realm's places are very precious, so entering just for contracting might not be worth it."
"Therefore, various scholars and researchers have always tried to relocate some of these unique species from the Secret Realm, aiming to expand, industrialize, and standardize their species."
"It wasn't until modern times that the goal was finally achieved. I was also able to obtain a Little Bookworm thanks to this."
"Everyone, please look." Saying that, Cora turned her PPT to the next slide.
"Since the Four Star Secret Realm is top-secret, there are no leaked photos."
"However, there are many photos of Little Bookworm breeding bases. Please take a closer look."
"Next, open the textbook to page 28, and look at the definition of pet beast habitats and the impact of natural and human factors on them..."
Vincent Wolf flipped through the textbook, feeling déjà vu.
"Why does this feel similar to biology class from my previous life? Is this the simplicity of the Tao?"
The bell rang for the end of the class. Cora still had more to say, but she didn't drag the class out and left abruptly.
Vincent Wolf appreciated her for resisting the temptation to keep the class going. Such teachers were not ordinary.
When he checked the schedule just now, he memorized the upcoming classes as well.
The next two classes were actual combat classes.
Actual combat classes were held outdoors and usually lasted for two full periods.
Today's last two classes in the morning were for students from Class 1-5, while the last two classes in the afternoon were for students from Class 6-10.
"Actual combat class?" Vincent Wolf thought of the message Sebastian Wood sent him during the break, saying that a group of people wanted to teach him a lesson during the actual combat class.
Realizing that someone wanted to teach him a lesson, Vincent Wolf started to shiver.
Scared?
Wrong, he was excited!
Just thinking about a group of people lining up to get beaten by him made his loving iron fists itch.
