Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 879

Chapter 879: Chapter 879 - Taming the Fifth Year - Attrition - 5

Liora got it too, she didn’t want to read the handsome hero from her novels lose either... The impossible challenge gets stressful then and the miracle solution Luna wants feels harder to get.

Luna looked at her hands... They were steady and appeared calm despite internal turbulence.

Performance versus reality again. External composure masking internal chaos.

"Tomorrow," she said, "when we fight Ren. Do you think we can win?"

"Honestly?" Larissa considered. "Maybe 50-50. Ren’s too good... But you and Min are also good. And two versus one is a significant advantage if you coordinate properly."

"Min wants to win," Luna said.

"So let him go first," Liora said.

"Ren doesn’t need to win tomorrow to be special... You should get some sleep," Larissa advised while standing and returning to her own bed. "Tomorrow comes whether you’re ready or not. Might as well face it rested and once in front of him you’ll react by instinct anyway. Better let future Luna worry about it."

"Wise advice," Luna acknowledged.

"I know... I’m very wise. You should listen to me more often."

Finally the moment everyone had been anticipating for weeks arrived.

The arena was completely full. Every seat occupied by spectators not wanting to miss a single second of a confrontation promising to be the most spectacular battle of this entire insane generation.

Even when the other schools had lost already, they were watching today...

Difficult to count how many people precisely but definitely the largest audience Ren had seen for any exam match.

Cheering.

Betting.

Discussing probable outcomes with that common confidence that came from knowing nothing.

Morning had dawned clear and bright. The sun rising over the horizon with a golden light illuminating a field that had been repaired after the devastation that Ren and Liora’s battle had caused yesterday.

The repairs were impressive. Ground that had been churned was now smooth again. Walls that had been damaged were restored. Barriers that had been stressed were reinforced.

Academy maintenance staff had worked through the night. Maybe 20-30 earth-element Silver rank specialists reshaping terrain. Dozens of support staff cleaning debris and resetting the defense.

Ren stood at the entrance on his side of the arena, observing the opposite position where Min and Luna waited with their own teams.

Didn’t know with certainty if Min or Luna would emerge first as initial combatant or if he’d wait somewhat like they’d done with Taro... strategy of permitting weaker companions to enter first to see what beasts the stronger leaders would use first.

But in any case, it was convenient for him to do as he’d done in previous battles and send a companion first to see exactly what Min or Luna would launch as an opening.

It was a reconnaissance tactic that had served well during the last battle, allowing him to observe without risking his most valuable beasts’ order prematurely.

Ron was prepared beside him. Companion who’d accepted the initial scout role again with fresh enthusiasm coming from wanting to significantly contribute to their team victory and for gaining more prestige.

"Ready?" Ren asked while observing Ron one last time before entering.

"As ready as I’m going to be," Ron responded with a smile that was half nerves, half anticipation. "I’ll give them my best and see what they reveal in response."
