I Let You Manage the Beast Taming Arena, Now Everyone Became Divine Beasts?

Chapter 109: Annie’s New Spirit Beast

Perhaps because she had just woken up, Hash’s voice was much softer than before.

However, in the vast evaluation section, only her voice could be heard.

The content of her words were like thunder.

It rang out in the minds of the Beast Tamers who were planning to leave the evaluation section.

Perhaps it was because they felt ashamed, or perhaps it was because they were afraid, but after hearing what Hash said, they stopped moving.

They were like stone statues that had stared straight into the eyes of Medusa.

At the same time, another voice suddenly rang out in this vast evaluation section.

It was a heartbeat that sounded like waves rising and falling.

Drip!

Suddenly, a water droplet landed with a crisp sound among the Beast Tamers.

As the drop of sweat landed on the ground, the group of sweaty Beast Tamers immediately snapped out of it.

However, they could not stop the cold sweat from trickling down their foreheads and necks.

Is Her Excellency Hash going to hold us accountable?

That’s right. We’ve offended her before. It’s only right for her to punish us now.

I wonder how Her Excellency Hash plans to punish us.

Drip… Drip… Drip…

As the group of Beast Tamers had no idea why Hash had stopped them, the drops of sweat on their foreheads, which contained their fear of Hash, gathered and trickled down their chins.

At that moment, Giles, who was standing beside the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, suddenly said, “Sister Hash, are you planning to keep them here to watch the battle?”

Seeing that Hash had stopped the group of Beast Tamers from leaving, Giles also tried to figure out why Hash had stopped them.

As Giles had more information than them, coupled with the fact that he knew that Hash was the type of person who couldn’t be bothered with such matters, he speculated that Hash had suddenly stopped them because she wanted to make them stay and watch the battle.

“Didn’t they come here to watch the battle?”

“I’m just reminding them not to forget their original goal.”

At this point, Hash smiled and looked at the nervous Beast Tamers.

“Since you’ve all come over, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“The battle between Giles and Annie is about to begin.”

“All of you came so late and you apologized to me the moment you saw me.”

“I believe it’s because Giles has already explained the misunderstanding that you guys had on your way here.”

Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, looked down at Giles as she spoke.

Sensing Hash’s amused gaze, Giles knew that Hash had read his mind back then.

Giles could only scratch his head awkwardly, not meeting Hash’s gaze.

Seeing Giles’ reaction when he met her gaze, Hash knew that she had guessed correctly.

“Since Giles has already explained to you, you should know the importance of this battle between Giles and Annie.”

“This time, Miss Annie’s challenge to Starlux Gym once more concerns whether she can obtain the Starlux Gym’s badge.”

“In this ability, evaluation Giles will also prove that he has the ability to be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.”

“Therefore, as the umpire for this ability evaluation, I naturally hope that more people will be the witnesses of this challenge.”

At that moment, Hash, who was saying this, still looked lazy and sleepy.

However, everyone, who was so nervous that their foreheads were covered in sweat, could sense a sense of tranquility and peace from Hash’s words.

This caused their hearts, which had been pounding incessantly due to nervousness, to gradually recover to their normal speed.

When she saw that everyone’s expressions had finally returned to normal, Hash extended her invitation to them.

“Therefore, although everyone came to the evaluation zone today because of a freak combination of misunderstandings, I still hope that you can stay here and witness today’s challenge.”

When everyone heard that Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer, did not blame them or take issue with them for their previous offenses and even invited them to witness today’s challenge, their tensed bodies immediately relaxed as they accepted Hash’s invitation to watch the battle.

“That’s not a problem at all, Your Excellency. I’m honored to be the witness of this challenge.”

“It’s rare to see a challenge this morning. I’ve been unable to calm down since just now, let alone train.”

“Speaking of today’s challenge, I’ve been curious from the beginning about the odds of Giles winning with a Silver-rank spirit beast.”

“Giles won the championship of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament last month. Even if he uses a Silver-rank to fight a Gold-rank, he might still be able to win easily.”

“That still depends on Miss Annie’s Gold-rank spirit beast. Otherwise, it’s not easy to determine who will win this challenge.”

“By the way, where’s Miss Annie? Didn’t she come to the evaluation section with Her Excellency Hash previously? Why haven’t I seen her?”

“…”

It was only when someone in the crowd suddenly mentioned Annie that everyone realized…

From the moment they stepped into the evaluation section, their attention had been focused on Hash and her huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that they had completely neglected the other protagonist in today’s challenge – Annie, the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce.

After realizing this, everyone looked around curiously.

As they walked towards the spectator stand, they searched for Annie in the vast evaluation section.

“Annie, Giles is here. Are you and your little cat ready?”

Seeing the spectators begin to take their seats, Hash asked Annie as she commanded the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to move towards the umpire’s table.

“Your Excellency Hash, we’re ready!”

“Meow!”

Everyone suddenly heard Annie and a cat’s voice coming from behind the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.

As the huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle began to move its body, only then did everyone see Annie and the spirit beast beside her.

“Hmm? When did Miss Annie contract another Gold-rank spirit beast?”

“Ah? Isn’t Miss Annie’s Gold-rank spirit beast the Green-tailed Cat?”

“Look at that Gold-rank spirit beast. Does it look like a Green-tailed Cat? Its body is double the size of the Green-tailed Cat!”

“…”

After a Beast Tamer exclaimed, everyone’s gaze landed on Annie’s Gold-rank spirit beast.

Listening to everyone’s discussion, Giles, who had already activated the simulator, also began to observe Annie’s Gold-rank spirit beast.

This Gold-rank spirit beast was twice the size of the Green-tailed Cat.

However, it was still a cat-type spirit beast like the Green-tailed Cat.

Other than its size, it had many characteristics that were similar to the Green-tailed Cat.

For example, its pure white tail also had a tinge of green at the end like that of the Green-tailed Cat.

The difference between it and the Green-tailed Cat was that the Green-tailed Cat’s tail was more like a soft spring onion.

However, the tinge of green at the end of its tail was actually more like a thin willow leaf.

The most obvious characteristics of its body were its two ears with tree-leaf patterns.

The emerald green leaf patterns extended from the back of its ears to the pure white fur on its neck.

From afar, it looked like it was wearing a necklace made of vines.

More importantly, Giles could also sense a familiar spiritual energy aura from the Gold-rank spirit beast.

One had to understand that this wasn’t the first time Giles had accepted Annie’s challenge.

Besides the challenges from before, he had also fought Annie a couple of times.

Hence, he subconsciously raised his doubts.

“Annie, could this spirit beast be…?”

“That’s right, Giles. It’s just like you think.”

Annie squatted beside the Gold-rank cat-type spirit beast.

As she stroked its fur, she answered Giles’ question, “This is what my Green-tailed Cat looks like after its evolution.”

“Its current name is Leaf-eared Cat.”
