Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Chapter 195: Hasn’t the Opportunity Arrived? Chapter 205 -195: Hasn’t the Opportunity Arrived? What to do when the genius underclassman suddenly starts talking nonsense so seriously…

Before Wang Yao could think of how to respond without hurting Qiao Sang’s self-esteem, Xu Yajie and Shi Gaofeng walked in with dark circles under their eyes.

Wang Yao immediately called out to them, “What happened to your eyes? Did a spectral-type pet beast suck out your energy?”

“Treasure-seeking Ghost…” Xiao Xunbao felt wronged.

“Stop talking nonsense.” Shi Gaofeng yawned as he approached and said, “School’s about to start, right? I haven’t finished my summer homework. I stayed up late to catch up. By the way, the ‘Pets and Evolution’ workbook was issued to our entire grade, right? Have you finished yours? Can I copy it?”

“Aren’t the answers in the back?” Wang Yao asked, puzzled.

“Our teacher took all the answers away,” Xu Yajie said with a pained expression.

“It’s for your own good because your class has the worst grades,” Wang Yao said, spreading her hands.

Qiao Sang casually asked, “Are you guys in the same class?”

“Yeah, both he and I are in Class Nine,” Shi Gaofeng replied, draping his arm around Xu Yajie’s shoulder. “If you get sorted correctly in the future, you’ll probably be put in Class Nine too.”

Qiao Sang hadn’t even opened her mouth when Wang Yao glared at Shi Gaofeng and turned to explain, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. He thinks you’re a special admission student. Normally, special admission students get put in Class Nine, so he assumes you’ll end up there too.”

Shi Gaofeng paused, looking at Qiao Sang, “Aren’t you a special admission student?”

She was about to speak when Wang Yao intervened with a serious face, “Qiao Sang obviously looks like a top student, probably got in on a guaranteed admission. How could she be a special admission student like you two?”

“Academic scrubs” Qiao Sang: “…”

“Don’t look down on special admission students,” Shi Gaofeng said discontentedly. “Our Class Nine might have low academic scores, but we’ve never fallen behind in terms of the rate of advancing to higher education.”

“That still can’t compare to us guaranteed admissions,” Wang Yao retorted.

Among high school students, there is a subtle hierarchy of contempt.

Guaranteed admission students look down on special admission students, special admission students look down on regular students, and regular students always feel that with the same amount of time to train their pet beasts and enough resources, they could surpass the special admission students.

After all, their scores are much higher than those of special admission students, and practically everyone awakened their brain domain at the same time, becoming Beast Tamers at the same rate; the only differences lie in their pet beasts and resources.

Those who become special admission students are usually from wealthy families of second-generation Beast Tamers.

This disparity that wasn’t felt during junior high suddenly becomes apparent in high school, causing some to feel a sense of injustice within.

However, if a special admission student brings honor to the school, wins competitions, and gets accepted to a prestigious Beast Taming university, everyone will think you’re impressive.

After all, it’s the special admission students who represent their schools in competitions, and winning among a group of special admissions surely makes you stand out.

Although students might feel the imbalance internally, they also understand that some things can’t be achieved solely by throwing resources at them; it still requires genuine talent and ability.

Early on, a Beast Tamer can use resources to outpace peers, but later on, it all comes down to talent plus resources.

Even with wealth, if a Beast Tamer lacks talent and can’t expand their brain domain, they’ll be limited to bonding with only one pet beast for life.

If the pet beast lacks talent, no matter how many resources are spent, not only is learning skills an issue, but so is evolution.

So, at this early stage of stepping into high school as novice Beast Tamers, there’s a general sense of resistance towards special admission students.

Of course, none of this applies to Shengshui Middle School…

Those who can enter Shengshui Middle School as special admission students are geniuses who have independently awakened their brain domains, and only a few such people emerge in the city each year; who would dare to question them?

Even the guaranteed admission students of Shengshui Middle School dare not question…

Because most of them are also geniuses who awakened their brain domains independently.

Wang Yao is one such individual.

As a guaranteed admission student who also has the strength to be a special admission student, Wang Yao truly believes that Qiao Sang, who is a year younger and more talented, is a genuine guaranteed admission student.

“What about guaranteed admission students? They still attend the same school as me,” Shi Gaofeng rolled his eyes.

Wang Yao opened her mouth, seemingly to say something, but just at that moment, Qiao Sang patted her on the shoulder.
