Chapter 559: Viscous Substance
Chapter 559: Viscous Substance
It was too fast, far too fast.
The audience in the stands didn’t expect the match to end so quickly, and in such a one-sided manner.
For a moment, the leaders and students from the top three districts’ prestigious schools had varying expressions.
Whispers spread among the crowd.
"How come Levina seems so far behind that student from Sai Nan High School?"
"Levina’s specialty is coordination; she focused too much on the aesthetics of the battle from the start. This isn’t as effective in a team battle."
Levina was quite famous among high school students at this stage. She had just won second place in the Global High School Coordination Competition, and her familiar was nearly perfect. She was also very attractive, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she was considered a goddess in this circle.
Now that she had lost, many people were viewing the situation from her perspective.
"The other student’s two familiars moved with clean, decisive actions, without focusing on skill control or aesthetics. Clearly, she’s a specialist in familiar battles, and both of her familiars are High-Class Beast Companions. It’s normal that Levina couldn’t match her."
"Levina’s loss isn’t surprising, but I just feel it happened too quickly."
"That’s just the way it is. You can’t expect a Coordinator to go up against a Professional Beastmaster of the same level for three hundred rounds."
"Exactly. Look at that girl from Sai Nan High School; her Star Array is orange-yellow, indicating a 30% brain capacity breakthrough. Even without considering her familiars, the commands she gives are like those of experienced Professional Beastmasters, making it impossible to predict her moves. For example, she said she would deal with the Dream Sprite first, but her familiars attacked both the Dream Sprite and the Season Sprite simultaneously."
"And that Flame Fang from the Fire Pet Beast has reached Mastery Level. The Season Sprite reacted quickly, but even with Mirror Reflect, it couldn’t defend against it."
"Oh, poor Levina. She faced such a formidable opponent right from the start."
The group from Manke Academy looked rather displeased.
Although it was just a friendly match, being thoroughly dominated like this was a significant blow to their pride.
On the contrary, the group from Sai Nan High School was all smiles, despite their initial surprise.
Qiao Sang had really brought honor to their principal. Despite the talk of friendship and exchange, everyone still wanted to win.
Sometimes, winning can actually lead to more opportunities for interaction.
For instance, the blonde man behind Maggie patted her shoulder.
Maggie turned around.
The blonde man smiled warmly, "Are you a teacher from Sai Nan High School? I’m a teacher from the second district’s Kalon High School. Once the match is over, would you like to take a walk around Sahel High School together?"
Maggie smiled in return, "It would be my pleasure."
...
After the morning exchange match concluded, Alva led them on a tour of Sahel High School, providing detailed introductions.
A few people from other schools joined them.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel that Alva seemed more enthusiastic than before.
"Qiao Sang."
While Alva was introducing a building, a clear voice rang out.
Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a blonde, blue-eyed girl with a graceful figure, wearing a blue-and-white school uniform, waving at her from under an oak tree. It was Levina, her opponent from the friendly match.
Qiao Sang silently pointed to herself.
Levina smiled and nodded.
Qiao Sang walked over and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Levina seemed completely unaffected by her earlier loss. She smiled and said, "I have a favor to ask."
Qiao Sang replied cautiously, "Go ahead and tell me."
"Could you, when you return to Blue Star, send me an initial form of that Blazing Star Hound familiar, or at least an egg of its kind?" Levina said with a smile. "I looked it up, and it seems to be called a Fangflare."
Qiao Sang, being an exchange student from Blue Star, was a topic of discussion among those who attended the friendly match that morning. Levina didn’t need to do much digging to find out.
After saying that, she glanced at Fangy in Qiao Sang’s arms and continued,
"I really like this familiar. I only recently got the third page of the Beastmaster Codex, and I haven't bonded with my third familiar yet. Now, I think I've found the familiar I want to bond with."
In terms of appearance, Levina actually preferred Icechill.
Unfortunately, after some research, she found out it was an endangered familiar, and she immediately lost interest.
She wouldn’t have a chance to bond with an endangered familiar on Supernest, let alone on another planet.
Qiao Sang was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Levina to ask her to transport a familiar across planets.
In the age of interstellar travel, there were industries dedicated to transporting goods between planets, but very few people transported familiars across planets.
First, it would cost a significant amount of money, and the procedures were complicated.
Second, there wouldn’t be any Familiar Trainers on other planets who were familiar with the specific needs of the transported familiar. If any issues arose, there would be no one to consult.
Moreover, the environments on different planets varied greatly. A familiar that thrived on one planet might not adapt well to another.
Qiao Sang glanced around. All the familiars in sight were walking or working quietly, as if they had been uniformly trained.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Sang politely declined, "The Fangflare species might not adapt well to life on Supernest."
Levina smiled, "That’s not a problem. I can create the environment it prefers. I’ve heard that some Fire Pet Beasts on Blue Star enjoy staying in high-temperature areas year-round, and I can ensure it stays in such an environment every day."
Money talks... Qiao Sang declined again, "I won’t be returning to Blue Star for another year."
Her tone implied that Levina shouldn’t wait and should find another familiar to bond with.
Levina responded nonchalantly, "That’s not a problem. I can wait a year. I want every familiar I bond with to be one I like."
Highly attractive familiars had a fatal allure for her. Given the Blazing Star Hound’s appearance, she didn’t mind waiting that long.
It seemed Levina was serious... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "Since you’ve researched Fangflare, you should know that the Blazing Star Hound is an Evolution of the Flame Listener, and the Flame Listener is the latest Evolution of the Fangflare. However, the Evolution conditions for the Flame Listener haven’t been fully studied yet. If you like the Blazing Star Hound, even if you bond with a Fangflare, it might not evolve into the Flame Listener branch. You need to think this through."
Levina was taken aback; she hadn’t known this!
Seeing that Levina didn’t respond immediately, Qiao Sang said coolly, "Come back when you’ve thought it through."
With that, she turned and left.
After Levina’s match, Hylis and the others had told her about her background.
She had just won second place in the Global High School Coordination Competition and was expected to become a rising star in the Coordination Circle.
The Coordination Circle also had intergalactic matches. If Levina managed to shine in the future, the Fangflare that bonded with her would become well-known, and the Fangflare species would gain a higher status.
There were many such examples. When a Beastmaster participating in the Interstellar Cup revealed their familiar, people from all four planets would thoroughly research the species, hoping to bond with one.
The value and status of such a familiar would skyrocket, and it would boost the economy of its home planet, which was a huge benefit.
If Levina had a good character and could understand what Qiao Sang had said, Qiao Sang wouldn’t mind helping her transport a Fangflare.
After all, Levina came from a very influential background. A familiar bonded to her would definitely have a good life, regardless of the training. Food and drink would never be a concern.
Moreover, if Levina succeeded in the future and promoted the Fangflare species, it might help her mother’s Flame Fang Breeding Shop open several branches...
Just as Qiao Sang was envisioning a bright future, the Steel Treasure, which had been silent, suddenly moved rapidly to the side.
A drop of viscous substance fell from above where it had been standing.
The ground where the viscous substance landed instantly began to smoke.
