STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 164: Part 3: Duel against Romeo Barrett
Joint Training Facility:
Apart from the Department Instructors, the Attack Department students are here as well. There are also students from other departments.
They were quietly live streaming the duel so that their followers could watch it. The followers are fellow students who are studying in the class.
At this time, everyone is watching the live stream. The faces of the people do not look good. Everyone was optimistic about Romeo Barrett earlier.
But he has been passive from the beginning. Still, people expect him to use his lifeline beast. But they have overlooked something, which is that the Instructors are discussing it right now.
...
Elemental Department:
"I knew it," May Lindsey sighed to herself.
She can see a clear difference in strength between Jeremy Night and Romeo Barrett. Though Romeo Barrett has sword talent, he is reacting much more slowly than his opponent.
On the contrary, Jeremy Night, who doesn't have sword-related talent, is responding faster and injuring his opponent in return.
Gasp!
The classmates exclaimed in surprise. There is no contest between Jeremy Night and Romeo Barrett.
"Why is he not using his lifeline beast?" One of her classmates raised the question.
"Yes, I heard Jeremy Night's lifeline beast is weak."
"It's a good chance to defeat him."
Her female classmates are discussing among themselves.
Hearing that, May Lindsey frowned. She knows that it's risky to use a lifeline beast in the duel. If the lifeline beast is injured, then the Beast Tamer will be hurt as well.
That's why, unless necessary, no one uses a lifeline beast right away. But it's a different situation for the high-tier beast tamers.
They have immense battle experience. They and their lifeline beasts can fight side by side during battles.
...
Control Department:
"He is not easy," Victor commented.
He is watching the live stream as well. He finds that Jeremy Night is deadly in close quarters. Whether it's a Beast Tamer or a beast, they won't be able to defeat Jeremy Night at close quarters.
Of course, he is considering the first-year students. Jeremy Night has no rivals at close quarters. Even he is finding it difficult to come up with an answer.
His talent is S-Grade Spider Lord. He can control spider-type beasts. The ability is for control. If he wants to defeat Jeremy Night in a duel, then he has to poison him to control the duel.
Otherwise, if he lets Jeremy Night near him, he would be defeated.
Suddenly, he felt a rude awakening inside.
Swoosh!
He left the classroom to practice. He doesn't know about May Lindsey, but he thinks his preparation is inadequate when it comes to close-quarters duels.
As an S-Grader, he doesn't want to lose face. He can already imagine what will happen to Romeo Barrett's reputation today.
...
Similarly, the other Department Representatives were watching the live stream duel as well. They had complicated reactions. Unlike Romeo Barrett and the two S-Graders, they don't have the courage to fight against Jeremy Night.
Even if it's a friendly spar, they are worried that their reputation might suffer if they end up getting defeated.
It's all because the Senior Year students are pressuring them. They don't want to see the rise of the STRIKER Department.
Unfortunately for them, the First Year Department Instructors have all recognized Jeremy Night's strength.
Because of this, the Senior Year students are finding it hard to influence their juniors.
Meanwhile,
The Training Ground Instructor, Ariel Burt, is watching the duel as well. Unlike the others, she is evaluating Jeremy Night. She finds that Jeremy Night has improved compared to before.
Especially when he fought against the Tier-2 Corrupted Beast in the Training Ground early days. She found that Jeremy Night has minimized unnecessary movements now.
She observed Jeremy Night's body movement when it was time for the strike. Otherwise, he stays still like a mountain.
....
Dean's Office.
Old lady Carolyn didn't miss the fun. The STRIKER Department was her project. In recent days, many people slandered Jeremy Night because of his refusal to accept the challenge duel.

At that time, she considered intervening as well. But Jeremy Night had cleverly set a condition: only those who have killed a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast before are qualified to fight against him.
Now, seeing the duel between the two, she finds that Romeo is not strong enough to face Jeremy Night. Perhaps, Romeo was able to kill a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast solo.
But she had seen the records of Jeremy Night, where it states that during the beast invasion, Jeremy Night had survived the attack of a Tier-4 Corrupted Beast.
So she believes Romeo Barrett won't be able to defeat him, even if he summons a Tier-1 Lifeline Beast. She also knows about Jeremy Night's white energy.
Seeing that Jeremy hadn't used it, a look of understanding dawned on her. If Jeremy had used that white energy, then Romeo Barrett would have suffered grave injuries.
"There is no suspense," she muttered before turning off the live stream.
...
Duel Ring:
"Romeo Barrett, give up," Old Man Derek shouted at him.
"No, I'm going to use my lifeline beast," Romeo Barrett replied loudly.
Hearing that, the face of Old Man Derek turned dark. He is speaking on behalf of Romeo Barrett. Right now, Romeo Barrett is injured.
He might not be able to control his lifeline beast, so he decides to intervene at the right time.
On the other hand, Jeremy Night's eyes flickered. He was waiting for Romeo Barrett to use his lifeline beast. He was not afraid of a Tier-1 lifeline beast.
He had fought against a Tier-4 Black Scorpion. If anyone learned about it, they would be shocked to the core.
The Attack Department Instructor is watching with a serious expression. He is not even stopping Romeo Barrett at all.
Swoosh!
Romeo Barrett summoned his lifeline beast. A huge shadow appeared in the sky the next moment.
Caw!
A loud bird cry sounded the next second. Then everyone saw a giant bird-like creature circling in the sky. But it's not a raptor bird; it's something else.
