Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 13 Someone's Looking for You

"Right, Big Thigh..." Fang Sisi still wanted to say something.

"Could you not call me Big Thigh?" Qiao Sang cut her off directly.

"Then, should I call you Beautiful Leg?" Fang Sisi asked.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Under Qiao Sang's deadly stare, Fang Sisi finally corrected herself, "Qiao Sang, have you already made a contract with a Pet Beast?"

Any Beast Tamer who had just awakened couldn't resist the temptation to contract a Pet Beast at the first opportunity.

Qiao Sang nodded without denying it.

"Then you..."

Just as Fang Sisi wanted to continue asking, the voices in the classroom suddenly muted as if someone had pressed the mute button.

Looking up, it turned out that the class teacher had arrived...

The next second, Fang Sisi's face turned pale.

Oh no, oh no, she hadn't finished copying her homework yet!

"We'll gather in the playground in five minutes," the class teacher said, glancing in Qiao Sang's direction.

More than 4,000 students and over 300 faculty members from Shengshui Middle School all gathered on the playground, a massive crowd.

"Why is the whole school here?" Standing behind, Fang Sisi poked Qiao Sang with her finger.

"I don't know," Qiao Sang said.

Ninth graders in their sprint phase usually didn't join in morning assemblies with the seventh and eighth graders, and even if the school called for it, there were always one or two classes exempted.

Qiao Sang looked up at the stage and saw that all the school's senior staff, including the principal, vice-principals, and deans, had arrived—such a grand assembly was rarely seen during regular morning meetings.

Principal Chen Yongfeng was speaking the same old platitudes on stage; every time he spoke at an assembly, it was the same few sentences, nothing new.

Qiao Sang was bored; nothing said on the stage was sinking in.

After about ten minutes, thunderous applause broke out, and Qiao Sang clapped along reflexively.

A petite figure walked from the ninth-grade section up to the stage.

"Respected teachers, dear classmates, hello, I am Dai Shushu from class nine of ninth grade, and I am honored..."

What was thought to be a regular morning assembly turned out to be a personal commendation ceremony for Dai Shushu.

Qiao Sang had never dealt with Dai Shushu, but there had been enough gossip from those around to be somewhat aware of her.

Her family was not well-off, the only one receiving financial aid from the school, ranking first in her grade for all three years of middle school, and then being directly recruited into Beast Taming High School after awakening on her own, a classic inspirational role model.

"What does it matter if she's been recommended if her family couldn't afford a Pet Beast?" the boy on her right side said sarcastically.

"Neither of her parents are Beast Tamers, it's strange how they produced a child who spontaneously awakened as a Beast Tamer," someone remarked.

Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised; as Beast Taming society had developed, humanity had realized that children born to Beast Tamers were more likely to be Beast Tamers themselves.

The higher the rank of the Beast Tamer parents, the more likely it was to produce a child with high natural abilities.

Conversely, if both parents were ordinary humans, the chance their child would become a Beast Tamer was only 2%.

To say that a child of ordinary humans becoming a Beast Tamer was already a slim chance; for one to spontaneously awaken was nearly negligible.

Interested, Qiao Sang began to listen attentively to the speech.

"This time, being directly recruited to Shengshui Middle School was not only due to my own efforts but also the support of the teachers..."

Qiao Sang's eyelashes fluttered.

They were both self-awakened, and now, there was the mention of Shengshui Middle School; it was hard for Qiao Sang not to compare herself to Dai Shushu.

This comparison was disheartening, and listening to the speech became less inviting.
