Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

"If nothing unexpected happens, your final outdoor practical lesson will also take place in the 10th District."

Upon hearing this, the students in the class didn't have much of a reaction.

The 10th District was indeed a high-risk area, but given their prestigious backgrounds, their families would undoubtedly send bodyguards with them.

"But the exact district you'll be going to still depends on your teacher, Ailon." The geography teacher said with a smile.

"Let's get back to discussing the First Ten Districts…"

Since she was certain this lesson wouldn't be on the college entrance exam, Qiao Sang found it hard to focus.

If the 10th District was really filled with wild pet beasts that required beast masters to constantly handle, then wouldn't it be the perfect place to farm points?

Just then, the school bell rang.

Qiao Sang pulled herself out of her thoughts and took out her phone to continue reading about psychic power.

The matter of points wasn't urgent right now. She had to prepare for her exams, and besides, she was in the 3rd District.

The 10th District was quite far away, it would take several days to travel there and back, which she simply didn't have time for.

As the webpage loaded, she had only glanced at it when the sound of footsteps approached from outside.

The classroom instantly quieted down.

Qiao Sang instinctively shut off her phone and stuffed it into her desk drawer.

Wait, why does this feel so familiar…? She internally complained as she looked up, only to see a pet beast entering, a large-headed, mostly pink creature, dressed in a formal suit and even wearing leather shoes, striding straight toward her.

The students in the class exchanged puzzled looks.

"Isn't that the school director Ma’s pet beast? What’s it doing here?"

"It's heading toward the exchange students."

"Why is Director Ma looking for the exchange students?"

"Meow meow~"

The pink pet beast stopped beside Qiao Sang and grinned to show friendliness.

The school director’s pet beast? Qiao Sang listened to the whispers around her, then looked at the creature and asked, "Do you need something?"

The pink pet beast opened its mouth.

A small puff of white smoke emerged from it.

The smoke didn't disperse but instead twisted and condensed into a line of words floating in the air:

[The school directors are waiting for you. I’m here to take you there.]

Not only Qiao Sang, but everyone in the class saw the message.

The school directors, plural… The expressions of her classmates turned complicated.

In a spacious office, soft lighting illuminated the room.

Every detail of the interior radiated luxury and prestige.

Nine school executives, each with different skin and hair colors, sat on sofas or high-backed chairs.

As Qiao Sang entered, this was the scene she walked into.

One of them, an elderly black man, waved a hand, and the pink pet beast beside Qiao Sang vanished.

A middle-aged man seated at the only office desk got straight to the point: "Dr. Guo reported that your brain domain has reached 39%. We’ve brought you here for a retest. If the data is accurate, you’ll be awarded 500 points."

500 points?! Qiao Sang's heart burned with excitement. She immediately agreed, "No problem!"

A young man with red hair, wearing a white suit and appearing about twenty-four, gestured to the center of the room.

"Sit there and put on the testing device."

This brain domain testing device looked different from the ones Qiao Sang had seen before. It was more compact, with a built-in display located on the forehead instead of an external screen.

So brain domain detectors come in this style too… Qiao Sang thought as she put it on.

The moment she did, all eyes focused on her.

The data on the forehead display flickered before settling at:

[39%]

For a moment, everyone in the room held their breath.

Though they knew the school doctor wouldn't report false information, seeing it for themselves was still a shock.

Was 39% brain domain development terrifying?

Not necessarily.

But when someone under 16 years old achieved it, it became terrifying.

A blond man sitting in a high-backed chair discreetly glanced at the red-haired young man. Even someone as talented as Ke Wen had only broken past 30% brain development at nineteen.

This guy usually never shows up, but he’d rushed over within two days of hearing the news. He must have refused to believe there could be someone with such a monstrously superior talent.

The office fell silent for a few seconds.

Then, the middle-aged man behind the desk looked at Qiao Sang seriously.

"The results are confirmed. You’ll receive the 500 points shortly."

Qiao Sang was overjoyed.

"Thank you, sir!"

A black-haired woman in a long black dress chuckled.

"He’s the principal."

"Thank you, Principal!" Qiao Sang quickly corrected herself.

The principal’s expression was gentle.

"I saw in your file that you were originally in your first year of high school. You skipped ahead to the third year upon transferring here. Does that mean you’re planning to take the college entrance exam this year?"

Qiao Sang scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed, and replied, "Yes."

"You spent half a year in competitions before this, so covering three years of coursework in just half a year will be quite challenging. Plus, Chaosu Star's curriculum is somewhat different from Blue Star’s."

The principal continued, "If you’d like, I can arrange for a teacher to tutor you privately."

Everyone in the room understood what he was doing, this was a goodwill gesture.

When a new beast master displayed unprecedented, monstrous talent, nationality became less significant. After all, with starships, high-level beast masters lived long lives. It wasn’t uncommon for them to reside on different planets for extended periods.

And besides, the principal was also from the Dragon Nation.

That’s really not necessary… Qiao Sang shook her head.

"No need. I can study on my own."

Since her brain domain breakthrough, her memory had improved drastically. She could understand all the textbooks, her only limitation was time.

Qiao Sang returned to class in a good mood.

All eyes turned toward her.

"The school directors called you in, a whole group of them. What was it about?" Tang Yi asked impatiently as soon as she sat down.

"Nothing much. My brain domain broke through, so they wanted to confirm it." Qiao Sang replied.

Brain domain breakthrough? Tang Yi was momentarily stunned and was about to ask more when…

A red-haired girl walked over with a smile.

"Qiao Sang, you haven’t joined our class group chat yet, right? Want to join?"

Qiao Sang turned her head and recognized her, Raffi, the girl who had challenged her to a match on the first day of school.

After that day, they hadn’t interacted.

Then again, Qiao Sang hadn't really interacted with anyone in the class, except for Tang Yi.

"Um…" Tang Yi raised his hand.

"I haven’t joined either."

I wasn’t talking to you… Raffi maintained her sweet smile.

"Let’s add you both, then."

After adding them to the chat, Raffi casually asked, "By the way, what did the school directors want from you?"

The entire class perked up their ears.

"They just measured my brain domain." Qiao Sang said.

"Why?" Raffi asked, puzzled.

"Because I had a breakthrough, so they wanted to confirm it." Qiao Sang replied.

Just a brain domain breakthrough? Why would that warrant a whole group of school directors? Raffi was skeptical.

"How high is your brain domain now?"

You really want me to brag about this, huh?

Qiao Sang calmly said, "39%."

Raffi: ???

Tang Yi: ???

The whole class: ???
