NOVPUBThe next morning,
Inside Elder Derek's office, Jacob is having a discussion with Derek Gibson.
"Is there something?"
"You wouldn't come here for no reason," Derek asked.
Jacob smiled and said, "Yes, elder. I have something important to tell you."
"Elder, I took Jeremy Night to the wilderness yesterday," he added.
Hearing that, Derek was stunned. He looked at Jacob in confusion.
"What?" he asked.
Jacob then started to explain.
A few minutes later,
Derek Gibson was in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was hearing right now.
"That kid, Jeremy Night, killed a Tier-4 Hound," he uttered.
"Yes, Elder. I have video recordings. You can view it," Jacob said in a serious tone.
After saying that, he took the digital device out and played the video in front of him.
Derek's gaze fell on the video scene where he saw Jeremy Night confronting the Tier-4 Hound Beast. From the size of the beast, he didn't doubt whether it was Tier-4 or not.
As he continued to watch the footage, he was astonished.
Jeremy Night ended the life of the Tier-4 Beast in two moves. He couldn't believe it. But the video proof said otherwise.
He didn't think Jacob would have edited it overnight. It showed that the combat talent of that kid was terrifying.
He was able to find the weakness in a fraction of a second before targeting it with great precision.
Sigh!
Elder Derek took a deep breath as he finished watching the video.
He said, "No wonder he was confident. He can really kill a Tier-4 Beast. That's why he proposed such a condition."
"Let's go to the Dean's office," Derek added.
Ultimately, she was the one who was going to make the decision.
About 10 minutes later,
They arrived at the Dean's office. Derek had already obtained permission on the way.
Creak!
The door opened. Both of them went inside. A white-haired old lady was sitting behind the desk.
She saw the two of them and asked them to sit down.
Derek and Jacob sat in the chairs. Derek looked at Jacob.
Seeing that, Jacob took his digital device out and played the video for Dean Carolyn.
Carolyn was confused at first. But when she saw Jeremy Night in the video, she continued to watch. She recognized the terrible hound as well.
"Tier-4," she uttered as she continued to watch the video.
A few minutes later,
Her pupils shrank. She didn't expect Jeremy Night to kill the Tier-4 Beast without breaking a sweat.
It may appear like he ended the duel in two moves, but she noticed that the two moves were precisely calculated.
One was to stun the beast by attacking its blood vessel. The next move was to sever the head completely.
"Is it true?" she asked, looking at both of them.
Then Elder Derek told her what happened.
Carolyn was surprised and shocked. No one took Jeremy Night's words seriously earlier. Everyone thought he was making excuses to avoid the duel challenge.
But the video proof was a tight slap in the face. Everyone underestimated the kid. Then she recalled his ambition to enter the top 10 zones.
She started to think that Jeremy Night might have a chance. If his combat strength is Tier-4 at Tier-1 level.
What if he reaches a higher tier in the future? Then he could kill Tier-6 Corrupted Beasts and above.
After collecting her thoughts, she looked at them and said, "You guys brought this evidence in time. The family behind the two S-Graders were asking me to arrange the duel."
"Now that I have this footage, I can shut their mouths and others who are causing problems," she added.
Jacob sighed in relief. He thought he would get reprimanded, but both of them turned a blind eye to his actions.
Jacob then sent the original copy to her.
"You have done a good job. Even I didn't believe that Jeremy Night could kill a Tier-4 Beast," Carolyn said.
"Jacob, you did well by breaking the rules this time. I don't know if I would have allowed you to go yesterday," Derek praised him.
Jeremy shook his head before saying, "It's not me. It's Jeremy. He wanted to prove his strength to me."
Carolyn's old eyes flickered.
She said, "That kid has already become a real striker. From the beginning to the end, he didn't use his lifeline beasts."
"Oh, yes!"
Derek was dumbfounded as well. He totally forgot about it. Beast Tamers rely on their lifeline beasts to fight, so more than 80% of combat power comes from the beast during a fight.
Yet Jeremy Night was able to kill the Tier-4 Beast without relying on his lifeline beast.
Gasp!
Jacob took a sharp breath. He forgot as well. He didn't know why, but while spending time with him in the wilderness yesterday, he forgot about his lifeline beast as well.
His back went cold thinking about Jeremy Night's lifeline beast. He thought it must be formidable with a high tier bloodline.
Jeremy was using the beast's ability to break the skin and flesh of the Tier-4 Beast.
Jacob then thought of something before asking, "Elder, Dean. I have something to ask you."
"What is it?" Carolyn said.
"You didn't ask me anything earlier," Derek said with surprise.
"I just remembered now. I promised Jeremy that if he could kill a Tier-4 Beast, then I would ask both of you to lift the wilderness entry ban on him," Jacob added.
Derek raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that kid had played Instructor Jacob. If the kid were to ask directly, no one would agree to his words.
Especially those who knew about the kid's situation.
Carolyn's mouth curved into an arc. She thought it was the work of Jeremy Night.
"That kid wanted to show his strength through Instructor Jacob. The unknown killers didn't know about Jeremy's combat strength yet."
"If the video is made public, then the mastermind could send high-tier beast tamers after him," she thought.
"Dean, what's next?" Derek asked.
"Are you going to lift the ban?" he added.
"It's too risky. I thought about publishing the footage a few seconds ago, but I have changed my mind."
"We still don't know who is harming that kid. If the unknown mastermind knows about the kid's strength, the mastermind could send high-tier beast tamers after him," Dean Carolyn said in a serious tone.
Hearing that, the expression of both the instructors changed.
