I Let You Manage the Beast Taming Arena, Now Everyone Became Divine Beasts? Chapter 92` – If You Don't Manage the Gym, You Don't Know How Expensive Spiritual Energy Costs

Perhaps it was because there was a problem with the amount of spiritual energy Starlux Gym used this month as well, but before the spiritual energy supply station stopped supplying spiritual energy to Starlux Gym, besides the detailed bill from last month, it had also sent over the detailed bill from this month up till yesterday.

Although Giles did not have to worry about the monthly payment of spiritual energy for Starlux Gym, Giles, who had grown up in Starlux Gym, would occasionally learn about the monthly consumption of spiritual energy from the Gym Leader.

Giles was surprised to find that the bill in his hand was so detailed and it had clearly exceeded the amount of spiritual energy that Starlux Gym typically used over two months.

But there were still a few days before the end of the month. Where did all the spiritual energy go?

Furthermore, as an official organization under the Beast Tamer Association, Starlux Gym could also get a reimbursement for a portion of its spiritual energy expenditure every month.

Therefore, logically speaking, there shouldn't be a situation where the spiritual energy supply would be cut off because they did not pay the fees.

With this question in mind, Giles used his key to open the door of Starlux Gym and activated the emergency power supply in the reception area.

In order to prevent the power from depleting too quickly, he only turned on the light at the front desk for the time being.

Sitting at the front desk, Giles began to flip through the bills on the spiritual energy usage of the various areas of Starlux Gym.

This was because since last month, Gym Leader Alice, who usually used the evaluation section, had already left.

As he was participating in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament and the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, he had not been in Starlux Gym for a long time.

In addition, he had also brought the spirit beast cubs from the spirit beast section along with him.

Based on this calculation, the main area where Starlux Gym would consume spiritual energy during this period would only be the training ground that Beast Tamers borrowed daily.

With this thought in mind, the first thing Giles flipped through was the detailed bill for the spiritual energy use in the training area.

However, to his surprise, the spiritual energy used in the training area was even lesser than in the past few months.

This was also because this month was the month when Beast Tamers would team up to hunt outside the city.

The Beast Tamers who came to Starlux Gym every day to borrow the training ground were now mostly in the wilderness.

Therefore, the spiritual energy consumption in the training ground had mainly decreased from the beginning of this month.

That's strange…

Giles lost his train of thought for a moment. He could only quickly browse through the spiritual energy usage of the other sections.

Finally, his gaze landed on the bill for the spirit beast section.

He noticed that the spirit beast section had an exceptionally large amount of spiritual energy consumption for a few days in the previous month. It was at least three times more than usual.

Looking at the date written on the bill, Giles began to recall what had happened in the spirit-beast section over those few days.

Only then did he realize that the few days when the spiritual energy consumption was especially high were the days when he told stories to the spirit beast cubs!

“Looks like it's because the spirit beast cubs that evolved after listening to the story absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the spirit beast section.”

Recalling that the bills for this month had been sent over together, Giles flipped to one particular day two weeks ago.

As expected, something similar happened on that particular day this month.

That day happened to be the day the Metal-feathered Eagle lost control after listening to the story.

“Hah, if you don't manage the gym, you really won't know how expensive spiritual energy costs.”

After finding out the reason why Starlux Gym had its spiritual energy supply cut off today, Giles looked at the amount on the bill in his hand and sighed.

I didn't expect to have to worry about money one day.

Although the amount of spiritual energy consumption that the Starlux Gym exceeded was only equivalent to about a week of normal spiritual energy consumption, the cost of the spiritual energy was not a small sum.

Before Giles took over the management of the gym, his job was only to be a 'breeder of the Beast-taming section of the Beast-taming Gym'.

Ever since the previous Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, who had adopted Giles, had mistakenly thought that Giles could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts, he had begun to groom Giles as a professional breeder.

Otherwise, in this era where almost everyone was a Beast Tamer, Giles, who did not have any specialties or abilities, would be completely eliminated.

Therefore, although the misunderstanding that he could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts had held Giles back for more than a decade, when he thought about how the previous Gym Leader had patiently taught him how to raise spirit beasts every day for the past decade, Giles only felt grateful towards the previous Gym Leader.

It was also because Giles had been carefully guided by the Gym Leader since he was five or six years old that he officially learned the method and skills to raise spirit beasts.

Giles, who had been helping out and learning in the spirit-beast section, had already begun to receive the “salary” equivalent to that of an apprentice breeder.

However, his “salary” was still called “allowance” at that time.

After turning 18 years old, Giles followed the previous Gym Leader to the Beast Tamer Association's Branch and filled out an application form to become an apprentice breeder in the spirit-beast section of Starlux Gym.

Four years after becoming an apprentice breeder, he was now an official employee and could already take charge.

However, after Giles became an adult, his food and living space were all still provided by Starlux Gym. After deducting a portion of his salary for that, the money Giles earned each month was actually less than that of the other employees working at Starlux Gym.

Even though Giles had grown up with Alice, who was the current Gym Leader of Starlux Gym and who regarded Giles as her younger brother, Alice did not take special care of him in this regard.

However, it was also because Gym Leader Alice and the previous Gym Leader stuck to their principles that they were especially clear about separating business and personal matters.

In the twenty-plus years that Giles had lived with them, they had gotten along very well. They had never had any arguments over differing opinions.

Hah, let's think about how to get this money first…

Looking at the amount on the bill in his hand, Giles sighed helplessly.

This was equivalent to the one-week spiritual energy consumption for all areas of Starlux Gym!

Even if he used all the money he had saved up over the years to make up for it, he still wouldn't have enough.

Gym Leader Alice hasn't contacted me in more than a month.

According to what Sister Hash told me two weeks ago, it's best if I don't contact her now.

Giles, who was worried about the lack of money, began to wonder if there was any way to solve the problem he had created.

After all, it would be seven o'clock in a few minutes. There might be one or two Beast Tamers who would come over to borrow the training ground soon, but the backup spiritual energy stored in the training area would definitely not last past this morning.

As an Elite Beast Tamer, Sister Hash will definitely be able to fork out this sum of money.

But I haven't had the time to visit her since we met two weeks ago.

It's not very nice for me to go and look for her now to borrow money.

Besides, I rarely trouble others. Let's forget about bothering Sister Hash…

I'd better turn on the computer and pay the bill online first. I'll contact the Beast Tamer Association's Branch to see if I can get an advance on my salary for the next two months.

At the thought of this, Giles, who was frowning slightly, scratched his head.

Looks like after the problem of the spiritual energy supply is resolved, I'll have to think about earning money.”

“Excuse me… Is anyone there?”

Just as Giles was about to turn on his computer and pay the bill online, a question rang out from the door at the reception area.

As the only light in the entire reception area was from the front desk, that person merely stood at the door and had no intention of entering.

“There is! There is!”

Giles, who had snapped out of it when he heard that someone had come, quickly rose from his seat at the front desk.

Although the problem of the spiritual energy supply had yet to be resolved, he still smiled and stretched out his hand to greet the person at the door as usual.

“Beast Tamer, are you here to borrow the training ground?”
