World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Panda Novel

“Pfft…”Diana almost burst out laughing. She explained, “I’m not interested in that kid at all. I was only bluffing earlier…”

“Ah? So that’s how it is?” Locke also laughed.

Diana immediately regained her serious expression. “The White Family is getting more and more outrageous. Previously, Adrian took advantage of my absence to chase away quite a few talents!…”

Tristan also added, “That being said, Locke! They have already set their eyes on you, so it’s better to be careful…”

“It’s been many years since the appearance of a talent of your caliber. For the future of the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy, I can’t let them do whatever they want and destroy it!” Tristan’s words were very straightforward.

Upon returning to the classroom, many students gaped at Locke in surprise.

They did not expect this freshman to be fine!

“He might be from another noble family…”

“An illegitimate child?”

“He should at least be blood related…”

Albert had just received the results of Locke’s judgment. Seeing that Locke had returned safely, he nodded with a kind expression and said, “Hurry up and grab a seat. We’re about to talk about alchemy…”

After a day of classes, Locke felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge and he was in a good mood.

In contrast, the White siblings were depressed for the entire day. They were not mourning over the loss of their subordinates, as they had plenty of then.

Rather, they were wary of Locke’s identity.

Logically speaking, Locke was nothing more than a talented commoner. However, Diana, yes, that Diana had stood up for the guy.

There was definitely more than meets the eye!

“Maybe… This guy is a member of some big family. Who knows…”Adrian muttered with a wine glass in his hand.

Alice crossed her arms and frowned. “I’ve found him strange since the assessment! A rose gold divine rank Battle Beast… Just how many years has it been since one last appeared? There’s no way a commoner would hatch one on his first try!”

“It’s impossible! There must be something up with him! We must investigate this kid’s background!”

Adrian’s reaction was normal. After all, no one had ever heard of the Beast System’s existence!

“But I’m still angry! This guy is too despicable!” Alice was furious. She still could not accept the fact that Locke was constantly stealing her limelight.

Adrian laughed. “Haha! It’s alright. The outdoor classes will be held in two days. I have a plan to drive him away during the classes…”

Two days later, under the guidance of the outdoor training instructor, the Diamond Class students arrived at a grassland.

It was a wide empty field, and the gentle breeze that blew down on them soothed their minds and soul.

The outdoor training instructor, Ollie, looked at the dozens of Diamond Class students sitting on the field and said, “Everyone, what you learn in the classroom is only theory. Remember, the goal of Beastmasters is to excel in combat!”

“This is the place where you’ll apply all you’ve learned in the classrooms!”

“This time, our outdoor training will be a tourney-styled, group and point-based combat exercise! I’ve already distributed the members! There shall only be one winner!”

A student raised his hand and asked, “What’s the prize for winning the competition?”

Upon hearing the word “prize,” the students leaned forward with an expectant look on their faces.

Ollie gave a cryptic smile and said, “The reward this time is… Incantations!”

“Wow! !”

“We finally have a chance to get this!”

“That’s amazing…”

All the students had looks of anticipation on their faces.

Locke was the only person who was clueless. He asked in a low voice, “What’s Incantations?”

The student beside him looked at Locke as if he was an alien. Regardless, he still explained, “It’s a technique that was created by our principal! It’s very famous in the Federation! Why don’t you know about it?”

Locke shook his head. He was honestly unaware.

“Simply put, it is a set of tomes that can permanently expand one’s mana capacity. As long as one persists in cultivating, they can greatly increase their mana capacity! It can be considered one of our academy’s greatest treasures! I didn’t expect it to appear here! It’s an amazing reward, after all!”

“Oh…” Locke nodded.

‘If Incantations could really increase a Beastmaster’s mana pool, then it truly is fantastic!’

If Locke were to obtain it, he would use it in conjunction with his Mana Meditation Technique .

‘One technique would increase my capacity, while the other would allow my mana to recover quickly! If I were to cultivate both of them, wouldn’t I have a permanent supply of mana? Would I even run out of mana in that case?’

‘Even if the System upgrades in the future, I’ll be able to control as many Battle Beasts as I want!’

‘It’s really practical!’

‘Top-tier institutions are truly a cut above the rest! These resources are simply too good to pass on!’

“Although there can only be one champion! There’s still merit in collecting points. Even if you fail to qualify for the later stages of the competition, there are still Beast Eggs and skill tomes for the taking!” Ollie added.

‘How generous! The diamond class enjoys a lot of perks…’ Locke nodded in approval of his choice to choose the Netherfiend Tiger as his enemy.

“But…” Ollie paused for a moment before continuing with a serious expression, “The weakest person in each group will have to duel the strongest student in the Gold Class tomorrow! If you lose, you will be transferred to the Gold Class, and the winner will be promoted to the diamond class to replace the former’s position!”

Upon hearing the instructor’s words, the students began to feel uneasy.

This was also an old rule of the Federation’s Beastmaster Academy!

The resources provided to the Diamond Class were top-notch. Naturally, there would be those who grew complacent and abandoned their training.

This would cause them to fall behind with the lessons in class.

Therefore, competitions like this would be held often in the academy. Those who failed to meet the class’ standards would be relegated to a lower class.

Extending on these rules, the lowest class a person would be relegated to was the Bronze Class.

This was part of the reason for why the Bronze Class had the most students!

Not only were the number of talented students small, there were also plenty who squandered their talents.

Fortunately, those who were in the lower classes were also given opportunities to reach a higher class.

All the victors of these competitions were allowed to challenge the biggest losers of the same competition in the upper classes.

If the student from the upper class won, then everything would be the same as before.

However, if the student from the lower class were to win…

They would exchange classes.

As a result, the Diamond Class students were always being watched by countless eyes.

“Alright! Get ready, everyone. We will begin the competition in fifteen minutes! Of course, you must not harm the lives of your fellow classmates and their Battle Beasts! This is the most important rule!” Once Instructor Ollie had finished his explanation, he instructed someone to bring out a huge whiteboard.

The picture on the board showed the division of groups.

Everyone rushed forward to find their names and which group they were assigned to.
