Chapter 706: I'll Find a Solution

Inside the spacious office.

Clara looked at the black-haired girl in front of her with a complicated expression.

To be honest, truancy was a minor issue that she usually ignored.

But she hadn't expected someone to skip class on the first day of school.

And even more surprisingly, it was Qiao Sang, who had dominated the school start evaluation and left a deep impression on her.

"Why did you skip class?" Clara asked.

After watching that "loop" video and being summoned to the office by the class teacher, Qiao Sang already knew what was coming.

She sighed inwardly and explained that she had taken leave to attend Dr. Doralar's class.

Clara listened patiently and then asked, "So you went to Dr. Doralar's class to familiarize yourself with the next stage of Evolution?"

Qiao Sang nodded.

Clara wasn't particularly surprised by this answer.

Students in the Yulinton University Beastmaster Program were always very independent.

Clara continued, "Is it for an Advanced Pet?"

"Yes", Qiao Sang confirmed.

"I understand how important familiar Evolution is to a Beastmaster", Clara said earnestly. "But you've just started school, and you'll have many opportunities to attend Dr. Doralar's classes in the future. Besides, it's not that simple for an Advanced Pet to evolve into a General-Class Beast Companion..."

She paused, remembering that Qiao Sang already had two General-Class Beast Companions.

Clara then said, "If you're interested in Dr. Doralar's class, I can notify you when her classes don't conflict with your regular schedule."

Damn, what a nice person... Qiao Sang felt a warm surge of emotion, almost moved.

She had expected to be scolded, but the class teacher was unexpectedly understanding.

Qiao Sang straightened up and said, "No, thank you. Doraris is now my mentor. I'll go to her directly if I have any questions, and something like this won't happen again."

Clara was taken aback. "You mean Doraris is now your mentor? What do you mean by that?"

What? Is that hard to understand? Qiao Sang explained, "Dr. Doralar is now my mentor."

Clara's expression changed abruptly. "Dr. Doralar specializes in familiar emotional energy. How can you have her as your mentor!"

Qiao Sang was confused. "Is there a problem with that?"

There's a big problem!

The Beastmaster Program should focus on combat. Even if choosing a mentor, one should pick someone who excels in familiar combat, not a research-focused doctor!

During the undergraduate period, students at Yulinton University can only choose one mentor. If they want guidance from others, they have to spend credits. Therefore, everyone usually chooses a mentor related to their major.

This would be fine for other students in the Beastmaster Program, but Qiao Sang had shown exceptional talent during the school start evaluation, standing out among her peers.

Such a talent could easily be mentored by someone at the level of the Beastmaster Academy dean!

But now, she had chosen a mentor who specialized in familiar emotional energy!

It was a tremendous waste of talent!

Clara instantly forgot about the truancy and was preoccupied with Qiao Sang's choice of mentor.

She took a deep breath and said tactfully, "Since you're in the Beastmaster Program, you should be more cautious when choosing a mentor."

Qiao Sang immediately understood the class teacher's concern and replied seriously, "But I'm an exchange student and will only be here for a semester. Right now, Icechill's Evolution is the most important thing to me."

Clara looked at her in silence, her eyes reflecting a sense of regret, as if she had finally realized that her ideal candidate was already taken.

Indeed, if Qiao Sang weren't an exchange student, the experts in the Beastmaster Academy would have been vying for her mentorship after the evaluation this morning. Dr. Doralar wouldn't have stood a chance...

Thinking of this, Clara lost her interest in the conversation and waved her hand, signaling that Qiao Sang could leave.

...

Class Teacher is such a good person... Qiao Sang carried Fangy and headed towards the classroom.

As she passed by the corridor of Beastmaster Program Class 2, she suddenly thought of something and walked over.

"Is Harold Lovecraft here?" Qiao Sang asked.

The entire class fell silent for a moment.

The students looked at her with various expressions—some teasing, some mocking—but none of them had the initial awe as if they were seeing a great demon.

"He suddenly had a stomachache in the afternoon and went back to the dorm", said the blonde girl sitting by the door.

Qiao Sang scanned the room with her eyes, said nothing, and turned to leave.

A few seconds later, a black-curly-haired boy emerged from under the desk in the far corner.

"You scared me to death", Harold heaved a sigh of relief and immediately thanked the blonde girl at the door: "Thanks a lot."

At that moment, the figure that had just left reappeared at the door.

"So you were here all along", Qiao Sang said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Harold's body stiffened, and he forced a smile that looked even worse than crying.

The entire class of Beastmaster Program Class 2 looked at him with sympathy.

...

In the corridor.

"I really didn't know this would happen!" Harold's tone was sincere, almost ready to swear: "You have to believe me! This is definitely the Prolongation Stone's fault!"

"I've never used a Prolongation Stone to extend the Mimic Puppet's imitation time before, so I didn't know it was a loop!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to this in the first place!"

"Prolongation Stones are expensive! Besides, it's not like I benefit from you getting caught skipping class by the teacher!"

Harold felt deeply wronged.

He had only wanted to help and build a good relationship, but now he had lost both the Prolongation Stone and the favor. Worse still, he might be in trouble in the future.

Just as Harold was on tenterhooks, waiting for his "judgment", Qiao Sang spoke:

"I know."

Harold was taken aback.

Qiao Sang continued:

"I called you out just to tell you not to worry. This didn't affect me at all."

She remembered how reluctant Harold had been to part with the Prolongation Stone. She didn't believe he would do something so self-destructive.

Harold stared at the black-haired girl in front of him, his eyes flashing with gratitude and surprise. He quickly hid these emotions and whispered:

"Thank you."

"But the favor is gone", Qiao Sang added.

Harold: "..."

...

At 11 PM.

In the villa.

Qiao Sang was leaning against the headboard, holding her mobile phone and looking at the battle list, thinking about how many people she should challenge tomorrow.

While she could initiate a battle as long as she had the credits and it was approved, the final decision on timing was still in the hands of the challenged.

"Icechill?"

Suddenly, Lulu called out, indicating that she wanted to evolve and asking if it required some kind of emotional energy.

Qiao Sang looked up, remembering that Lulu had overheard her conversation with Dr. Doralar.

She pondered for a moment and didn't hide anything:

"To evolve, besides accumulating energy, you need to experience despair during a sandstorm."

"Icechill?"

Lulu looked thoughtful, then called out again, asking if they could find a place with sandstorms to live.

Qiao Sang was silent.

"Icechill."

"Icechill."

Seeing that her Beastmaster wasn't responding, Lulu's expression turned serious.

If they didn't find a place with sandstorms, what would happen if she suddenly felt despair and there was no sandstorm nearby?

Qiao Sang: "..."

That actually made some sense... Qiao Sang looked at Lulu with a complex expression:

"Do you think you will feel despair?"

"Icechill."

Lulu's expression was solemn.

She would try her best.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang pinched the bridge of her nose and said:

"Living in a place with sandstorms isn't practical. I'll find a familiar that can use Sandstorm Skills."
