Special Base (4th Zone)
Jeremy Night had put forth his honest opinion to the others. Three of them heard it. Elder Smith smiled. He thought the future path of Jeremy Night was going to be smooth.
Elder Sandra and Elder John exchanged looks. Both of them felt relieved in their hearts.
Swoosh!
"Then I’m taking away the corpses of the special beasts," Sandra said before taking away both corpses.
The next second, the special beasts’ corpses vanished from the spot.
"Now that you have made the decision, you can decide what to do next. You can either go back to City A, or you can enter the wilderness here for practice," Sandra said to him.
Hearing that, Jeremy Night fell into contemplation. He recalled the events in City A. Though City A had vast land to explore, he had faced difficulties there.
Not only from the higher-tier beasts, but he had encountered troublesome people as well.
Earlier, he had thought of reporting it to Elder John, but he forgot about it. He took a deep breath and decided to focus on the wilderness here. Here, he wouldn’t have any troubles.
Jeremy then said, "For the time being, I’ll practice here in the wilderness. But I want to go to the special practice rooms once a week. I don’t want to waste the golden card usage."
Sandra heard that and nodded her head.
She said, "It’s okay. If you need anything, you can request it from us. In the meantime, I’ll look into suitable forces for you and try to get a place as soon as possible."
"Thanks, Elder Sandra," he said.
"You can go back to your room now," Sandra said next.
Hearing that, Jeremy Night nodded his head. He then turned towards Elder Smith and nodded to him. Then, he looked towards Elder John and nodded to him as well.
Elder John nodded to him in return. Jeremy Night then left the spacious hall, making his way back to the exit.
Everyone watched Jeremy Night’s retreating back. Once he was gone from the place, Sandra looked towards Elder John and Elder Smith. Her expression was serious.
"I don’t want the news about this to leak. I don’t want any third person to know," Sandra said in a serious tone.
"Head Sandra, you can believe us. No one will know," Elder Smith said.
"I’m not going to tell anyone about this," Elder John said in a serious tone.
Elder Sandra believed them, yet she wanted to make sure of Jeremy Night’s safety.
Swoosh!
Then everyone departed from the place. They had work to do. If they continued to stay there, it would cause people to raise their eyebrows.
...
Nighttime,
Jeremy Night left the room. He was wearing the same pristine full-body armor. From head to toe, he was fully equipped.
When he went to the elevator, his appearance drew attention from the others. The members were shocked and in disbelief.
A full-body armor set was rare and expensive. Not everyone owned a full-body gear set.
When they tried to discern the strength of the person, they found out the Beast Tamer was Jeremy Night. He was the only Tier-4 Beast Tamer in the place.
"How did he get one?" one of the students asked.
"He must be earning credit points in large numbers," another friend said.
Hearing that, the others tacitly agreed. They knew that Jeremy Night did missions day and night. No one doubted his strength.
Only a few of them were present in the corridor. They watched Jeremy Night’s retreating back.
Seeing that Jeremy Night was going to enter the wilderness during the nighttime made them believe that he was a wealthy person now.
A few minutes later,
He reached the edge of the premises. He took out his device and sent a message to Elder John before putting it away.
He headed into the wilderness. It didn’t take long for him to disappear into the forest. While walking through the woods, he communicated with the six-winged butterfly.
[Let’s go to the border edge. I want to fight a Tier-8 beast,] Stella said to him.
Hearing that, Jeremy Night’s mouth twitched. He figured that Stella had heard the whole conversation earlier. He then recalled the previous mission at the borders.
He had once used his helmet to mark an area on the map. He could use that place right now.
He agreed to her request right away. Her killing of the Tier-8 Desert Lizard and Tier-7 Parasite Root had brought unexpected results.
It gave him the opportunity to look for a place in the 3rd Zone. As he continued to look for beasts, he didn’t find a single one this time.
Soon, he found a cluster of shade trees. These trees were over 50 meters high. He found a thick branch and used his blade to carve out a tree hole in the middle.
Swoosh!
He then entered the tree hole. He put dry twigs and tree leaves over it to cover the opening. He decided to take a few hours of break before continuing the journey at midnight.
There was still time left before the dangerous beasts came out. He then closed his eyes and began to rest.
On the other hand, Stella was awake. She watched the surroundings, but she didn’t find any beasts within the surrounding miles.
When midnight came,
Jeremy walked out of the tree hole and landed on the ground. It was pitch-black in the surroundings.
Yet, he could see perfectly well here. He then thought of something and tried to use their shared ability.
When he used her vision, his sight covered much more distance. He spotted the movements of the corrupted beasts.
The Tier-5 and Tier-6 beasts were large in number. As he continued to look at his surroundings, he found Tier-7 beasts as well, though they were fewer in number.
Yet, he didn’t see any Tier-8 beasts. He figured it wasn’t easy to find Tier-8 beasts.
"We may not find a Tier-8 beast. Why don’t we go against the Tier-7 beasts?" Jeremy said to Stella.
[Okay,] Stella replied.
Before Jeremy Night could find anything, she had surveyed the surroundings. She hadn’t found any Tier-8 beasts at all, so she decided to go with the Tier-7 beast fight.
