Chapter 278: Join the Junior Year School Team
At 6:50 AM, the first thing Qiao Sang did after waking up was to enter the Beastmaster Codex.
[Rain Invocation (Novice 83/100) +]
Seeing that Rain Invocation's proficiency had increased by several dozen points overnight, Qiao Sang returned her consciousness to the real world. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds and sighed.
"Lulu probably didn't sleep much last night. I wonder if it will wear itself out if it keeps this up..."
Half an hour later, Qiao Sang sat on Fangy, munching on a bread roll as they headed to school.
Fangy's novelty had mostly worn off by now. Most people who wanted to take pictures had already done so, so even without the cross scar on Treasure Seeker's face, there was no longer any commotion.
On the street just one block away from Holy Water High School, the aroma of pancakes wafted from a small stall. Only one passerby was waiting in front of it.
Meanwhile, another pancake stall nearby emitted a faint burnt smell but was packed with people.
The reason was simple: the pancakes at the crowded stall were made by a Puffbird.
Even though Puffbirds were one of the most common familiars and their pancakes weren't particularly tasty, many people still bought them.
This was one of the main reasons many Beastmasters wanted to train their familiars in a useful skill.
Year 1, Class 1.
As soon as Qiao Sang stepped into the classroom, she noticed that all the students who usually meditated at this time were looking at her with intense eyes.
It was just because she had won first place in the Bare-handed Tile Split at the Sports Meet, right? Why did they look at her like she was a rare familiar... Qiao Sang felt uneasy under their gaze but didn't show it on her face.
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker appeared and waved enthusiastically at everyone.
Clearly, it thought everyone was looking at it because it had won the Bare-handed Tile Split.
Qiao Sang had just sat down when Jin Fanfei couldn't resist asking in a low voice:
"They say you have a third familiar. Is it true?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Who said that?"
"See, I knew the news was too fake", Jin Fanfei said, relieved when Qiao Sang didn't immediately confirm it. "Zhang Shuzhou said it this morning, and he heard it from the sophomore year."
Qiao Sang immediately understood the source of the rumor—Shi Gaofeng.
No one else in the sophomore year knew about her third familiar. It was surprising how quickly the news had spread... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said:
"I know who said it."
"Who?" Jin Fanfei asked curiously.
"Shi Gaofeng, from the Second-Year Team", Qiao Sang replied. "I went to the Beastmaster Center with him yesterday to update the information for my third familiar."
Hearing this, Jin Fanfei fell silent.
It was too much information to process.
Update the information for the third familiar...
Wait!
Update?!
Update!!!
Jin Fanfei stared at Qiao Sang, stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by 'update'?"
Qiao Sang answered: "Just updating the information."
Jin Fanfei: "!!!"
Updating familiar information usually meant one thing—Evolution!
So, Qiao Sang not only had a third familiar, but it had also Evolved?!
This revelation caused a stir among the surrounding classmates.
Qiao Sang's voice hadn't been very loud, but the classroom was so quiet, and everyone's attention was still on her.
The students in the next row might not have heard clearly, but those in the front and back rows heard every word.
Qiao Sang was changing the information of his third familiar!
Was this for real?!
This news was even more outrageous than the version that spread early in the morning!
Although they didn't want to believe it, these were Qiao Sang's own words.
Qiao Sang's credibility was very high in their eyes.
The study gods, who were usually held up as role models, suddenly felt a sense of disparity they had never experienced before.
Being human, why was there such a huge gap between people!
Some things could be made up for with effort, but some things were entirely dependent on talent!
Qiao Sang looked at Jin Fanfei, who was now sitting there like a wooden chicken.
"Seeker..."
The Treasure Seeker, who had been ignored the whole time, quietly used Invisibility.
So, he wasn't paying attention to it. How awkward...
Qiao Sang didn't say anything more, turned his head, and closed his eyes to begin Meditation.
Fangy and the others were all pushing themselves to the limit, so he couldn't fall behind.
Seeing Qiao Sang close his eyes, the other students in the class turned to meditate as well.
Three minutes later, a claw poked Qiao Sang's cheek.
Thinking it was the Treasure Seeker, Qiao Sang ignored it.
The claw didn't stop, poking him twice more.
"Stop it", Qiao Sang said softly with his eyes still closed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the claw became even more persistent, poking him three times in quick succession, each time with twice the force.
Why did it get so obsessed with poking...
"You're an—"
Qiao Sang opened his eyes, ready to ask the Treasure Seeker what was going on, but the sight of the familiar in front of him made him choke on his words.
"Professor Xian, how did you... Wow!"
Before he could finish, the Skyglow Bat saw that Qiao Sang was awake and raised its right claw, making the word "crap" vanish into thin air.
The students in the class, hearing the commotion, opened their eyes and saw Qiao Sang disappear.
Another wave of chaos ensued.
"Wasn't that Professor Xian just now?" Wang Jihang recognized the familiar that had taken Qiao Sang away.
"Is it the one that's always with the Vice Principal?" a boy next to him asked.
While some students hadn't seen the Skyglow Bat, they had heard of Professor Xian.
"That's right, it's him", Wang Jihang said.
At this point, a girl spoke up: "The rumors about the school seem to be quite accurate. It looks like the Vice Principal really is related to Qiao Sang."
...
Meanwhile, the two people who were said to be related were staring at each other.
"Vice Principal, can you please give me a heads-up next time Professor Xian teleports me!"
"Your Aquariana evolved?!"
They spoke at the same time.
"Lao Xian, did you not give him a heads-up?" Liu Yao turned to the Skyglow Bat and asked.
"Xian."
The Skyglow Bat hesitated, then stretched out the short toe that had poked Qiao Sang's cheek and chirped.
It did give him a heads-up.
Qiao Sang: "???"
Qiao Sang almost had a heart attack. You call that a heads-up?!
"Let's talk about your situation first", Liu Yao said with a serious expression. "This morning, I heard that you went to the Beastmaster Center yesterday to register your familiar's information. I know your third familiar is Aquariana, and you've had it for a long time, so it doesn't make sense that you only registered it yesterday."
"So, I did some investigating. The person who spread the message is Shi Gaofeng from Sophomore Year. I asked him, and he said you were changing the information of a light blue familiar."
At this point, Liu Yao took a deep breath before continuing, "Did your Aquariana really evolve?"
The speed at which this news spread was truly something... Qiao Sang nodded. "Yes."
Liu Yao was silent for a few seconds before speaking again. "Go to the Junior Year School Team."
