Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 597 - 27th District

Tang Yi was full of surprise:

"So soon, it's already the last outdoor practice class?"

Thank you, my mouthpiece… Qiao Sang silently acknowledged Tang Yi in her heart.

Sometimes, having someone just as clueless as oneself was actually quite nice.

"Does it feel fast?"

Yuna thought for a moment and said, "It's already been more than two months since the semester started. This is the last semester, so all the courses are moving faster. Once we finish what's required, the rest of the time will be for review."

Qiao Sang had already experienced a high school life once.

Thinking back now, there were very few new courses in the final stage of senior year. Indeed, the majority of the time was spent reviewing. She hadn't expected it to be the same on Chaosu Star.

Upon learning that they would be leaving for the 27th District in the afternoon, Qiao Sang didn’t feel any dissatisfaction about being informed so late.

To her, whether she found out earlier or later didn’t make a difference. Even if she notified her mother, who was far away on Blue Star, at most, she would just remind her to stay safe.

It wasn’t like the parents of some of her classmates, who would even hire bodyguards for protection.

When the morning classes ended, the classroom instantly became lively. Unlike usual, no one rushed to leave right away.

At that moment, a stylishly dressed red-haired woman walked in, and the students immediately quieted down, all turning their gazes toward her.

Ai Lun was Class 6’s outdoor practice teacher.

Qiao Sang had a good impression of her, mainly because, unlike other teachers, Ai Lun didn’t frequently call on her to answer questions.

Of course, on the flip side, Ai Lun did like to have her demonstrate her pet beast’s various abilities at any time.

For Qiao Sang, who had won the National Campus Beast Mastering League championship, this was as easy as answering a simple math problem.

Ai Lun glanced around at the students and smiled as she asked:

"Is everyone ready?"

"Yes!" The class responded in unison.

"I’m sure Qiao Sang and Tang Yi have also heard from their classmates about today’s trip to the 27th District."

Ai Lun looked at them and instructed, "Since your parents aren’t around, stay close to me while we’re there, don’t wander too far."

---

On the way to the 27th District, Qiao Sang gained a whole new level of understanding of her classmates' wealth.

Not only did they have personal bodyguards, but almost everyone also had a butler-type pet beast handling their food, rest, and other needs.

Sitting in a corner of the airship, Qiao Sang watched the busy butler pets moving about and couldn’t help but sigh:

"If I didn't know better, I'd think we were going on vacation rather than a class trip."

Having experienced the ups and downs of life, Tang Yi was more accepting of it:

"For them, going to the lower districts is already considered suffering."

Recalling her previous time in the 25th District, Qiao Sang said, "I wonder what the difference is between the 25th and 27th Districts."

Tang Yi thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe there are more wild pet beasts in the 27th, or they’re more aggressive."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered that Gangbao came from the 27th District.

The trip had been planned so suddenly that she hadn’t even had time to mention it to Gangbao.

Right, Gangbao had said before that she wanted to return to the 27th District…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang felt a bit heavy-hearted and suddenly lost interest in chatting.

Back when Chan Chan Stone left, she ended up bringing its whole family along later. But if Gangbao was in the same situation as Chan Chan Stone, she couldn’t possibly take a whole group of little steel falcons back to Blue Star.

Even if she wanted to, she wouldn’t have the qualifications or the authority to do so.

With her mind in turmoil, Qiao Sang drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, the airship had already arrived in the 27th District.

"Oh my god, there are so many wild pet beasts outside!"

"Look, they’re just popping up from the ground randomly. You could trip over one just by walking, isn’t this too dangerous?"

"Wait… is that Striding Pig climbing a tree?!"

One by one, the well-dressed students exclaimed as they gazed out the cabin windows.

Although they were all from Chaosu Star, they had grown up in the peaceful Upper Ten Districts, where even wild pet beasts were strictly controlled.

They knew that the lower districts had a higher number of wild pet beasts, but until now, they had only seen them online or in news reports.

Facing such a large number of unrestrained wild pet beasts for the first time left them in shock.

Qiao Sang understood their overreaction. Their reactions now were probably similar to how people from the south of her old home on Earth reacted when they saw snow in the north for the first time.

At that moment, Ai Lun’s voice came through the broadcast:

"Students, we’ve arrived at the 27th District. Here, we’ll have our final outdoor practice class. I hope the bodyguards you’ve brought along won’t interfere unnecessarily."

"Of course, if you encounter danger, you may ask them for protection. However, I will assess whether the situation truly warrants outside help. If it’s something you could have handled on your own, but you relied on someone else, I will deduct points accordingly."

"You can think of this last outdoor practice as your final exam. I will select the top three students based on performance and award them points."

"First place: 30 points. Second place: 20 points. Third place: 10 points."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole class erupted in excitement.

Normally, the top scorer on a test would only earn 10 points.

Now, the rewards were tripled!

Freshly woken up, Qiao Sang instantly lost all sleepiness. She sat upright, eyes filled with determination.

She might not score a single point in other subjects, but for outdoor practice? This was her specialty!

At that moment, the cabin doors opened.

Qiao Sang followed the group down the airship.

Looking around, there were no other people in sight, but plenty of wild pet beasts.

Some wild beasts glanced at them indifferently, while others remained wary, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Ai Lun was the first to step off the airship. Seeing that everyone had disembarked, she formed a seal with her hands and summoned a terrifying pet beast over seven meters tall, completely covered in green vines, leaving only a pair of black eyes visible.

Sensing its overwhelming aura, most of the nearby wild pet beasts fled in terror.

Only a few larger ones remained, still maintaining their guarded expressions.

Suddenly, a three-meter-tall black-feathered avian beast swooped down from the sky, aiming at a male student who was eating a cupcake.

The boy was so focused on his food that he had no awareness of the incoming danger.

Just as his bodyguard was about to react, dozens of bullet-like green seeds shot out at an almost imperceptible speed, striking the black avian beast head-on.

"Toot-toot!"

With a miserable cry, the bird-beast flew away.

The boy looked up, dazed, as if only now realizing he had narrowly escaped an attack.

Ai Lun spoke sternly:

"Looks like you all forgot what I told you before. Let me repeat it one last time: If you want to stay safe in the lower districts, do NOT eat food randomly out in the open. What’s in your mouth could make you the perfect target for wild pet beasts!"

Frightened by her words, the boy hurriedly tossed his cupcake to the ground.

But before it even hit the ground-

A yellow beast with massive lower jaws suddenly burst out from beneath the soil, swallowed the cupcake whole, and disappeared underground again.
