“Charles, are you there? It’s me.” Hale’s voice came from outside the door.
Charles got up to open the door while replying, “Teacher Hale, I’m here.”
Hale walked into the dormitory and exchanged pleasantries with Charles for a moment before getting to the point. He said, “I’m here today mainly to discuss two important matters with you.”
Charles nodded. He could see that Hale’s expression was serious and earnest, indicating that what he had to say was significant.
“Charles, even though you have exceptional talent in alchemy and forging, mastering Beast Mastery is the most important thing.” Hale paused, then continued to advise,
“In terms of alchemy, learning from Senior Colton should pose no major issues. As for forging, Charles, you might want to reconsider, after all, one’s energy is limited, and it’s impossible to excel in everything.”
Charles had anticipated this. From Riston to Genosha Calivia, Hale had been looking out for him all along.
If Hale hadn’t informed him about Colton, Charles might never have acquired Mia, this emerald-quality mystical beast. He might have had to wait for the auction to start to buy a Gold or Platinum-level mystical beast egg.
“Teacher Hale, don’t worry. I know how to prioritize and won’t let my Beast Master training suffer.” Charles replied decisively.
Even without Hale’s reminder, he wouldn’t spend all his time on forging and alchemy, becoming an all-attribute Beast Master was his goal. Only then could he truly become a powerful individual!
“Charles, there’s one more thing that needs your consent.” Hale said, looking somewhat conflicted. He pondered carefully in his mind before slowly continuing:
“It’s like this, Charles. You are currently a focal point of attention, and the [Constellation] organization will likely target you. I have already applied for a high-level Beast Master to protect you.”
Charles did not respond. He could see the conflict and hesitation on Hale’s face, indicating that this matter was more complicated than it appeared.
Hale paused again before continuing, “The dean wants you to go out more often to lure out the [Constellation] members, allowing us to strike them down with overwhelming force! This would deal a heavy blow to [Constellation] and prevent them from taking action for a while.”
After hearing Hale’s words, Charles fell into deep thought.
The attack by the [Constellation] organization was still fresh in his memory—a Level 6 Beast Master and three Level 5 Beast Masters were a force not to be underestimated in Genosha.
Not to mention the Beast Master who attacked the train, although he didn’t see the fight itself, the aftermath was evident in the shattered mountain left behind!
However, since Dean Jamie made this suggestion, it meant that Cyber Academy was already prepared, and a stronger Beast Master would accompany Charles to ensure his safety.
In addition, Charles had another thought in mind—Level 6 Beast Master, Winston!
If Winston was hell-bent on revenge and learned that Charles was alone outside the city, would he attempt to assassinate him?
The answer was undoubtedly yes. In that case, the high-level Beast Master assigned to protect Charles would take action against Winston and eliminate him!
Charles wouldn’t even need to lift a finger, Winston would be completely eradicated from this world!
Charles’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Teacher Hale, I need to clarify something.”
Hale looked a bit puzzled and asked, “Charles, what do you need to clarify?”
“Do we need to leave any of the assassins sent by [Constellation] alive?” Charles inquired.
“There is no need to leave anyone alive. We just need to deal a heavy blow to their hidden forces within Genosha, and they will surely retreat for a while.” Hale explained.
“The people of [Constellation] all harbor some kind of toxin within them to avoid being captured alive and leaking information, so there’s no need to leave any of them alive.”
Upon hearing this, Charles nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
“Alright then, I will go speak with the dean shortly.” Hale said, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
He turned back and reminded Charles, “Also, when it comes to invitations from the major families within GenoshaCalivia, you should be cautious and not choose easily.”
Charles was somewhat puzzled, he had no intention of accepting any family’s invitation. Joining one would certainly come with various restrictions.
While he would gain the support of these top families in Genosha, he would also lose his freedom and become bound.
Hale noticed the confusion on Charles’s face and explained, “The major families are in fierce competition, and none of them want another family to gain an additional talented alchemist or forger.”
With that, Charles understood.
If he chose one family, the others would turn against him, if they couldn’t have him, they would seek to destroy him, and that was the underlying principle.
In the evening, in the dean’s office at Cyber Academy,
Jamie was reviewing the documents on his desk regarding Charles. He examined them closely, not missing a single detail.
Across from him sat Hale, delivering the news. He said, “Dean, Charles has agreed to act as bait to lure out the people from [Constellation].”
“Be more detailed, repeat everything Charles said.” Jamie instructed.
Hale felt a bit puzzled, but he proceeded to recount all of Charles’s words.
After hearing this, Jamie lowered his gaze to the information in his hands and a faint smile appeared on his lips, he was truly pleased with Charles.
Not only was he exceptionally gifted and experienced in combat, but he was also intelligent, daring, and knew how to use others to his advantage!
“Dean, what’s wrong?” Hale sensed something unusual about Dean Jamie.
Jamie suppressed his smile, extended his hand to straighten a photo on the documents, and passed it to Hale.
The person in the photo was none other than Level 6 Beast Master Winston!
After reviewing the information, Hale recalled Charles’s earlier question and a speculation arose in his mind. He said, “Could it be that Charles intends to actively draw Winston out and then use the high-level Beast Master protecting him to eliminate Winston?”
“Exactly, that’s exactly what he’s thinking. It’s truly impressive how bright he is at such a young age and willing to take risks.” Jamie mused. Then he hesitated for a moment and asked:
“What do you think Ezra will do if he finds out I’ve poached his apprentice?”
Hale suddenly lifted his head, extremely surprised. The implication of Dean Jamie’s words was that he wanted to take Charles as his apprentice too?
“Dean, what do you think? There aren’t many multi-attribute Beast Masters. Uncle Ezra has a hard time finding such a suitable one, and he wouldn’t let you steal him away.” Hale replied.
Jamie sighed, as if he envisioned the scene of You Wuming coming back to settle the score with him. He said, “Let’s forget it. I really can’t take him on.”
At this moment, Charles had no idea that his presence almost sparked a major conflict at Genosha Cyber Academy!
After sending Hale off, Charles went to the cafeteria and found a private room to eat with his three mystical beasts.
Over the past few days, Mia had grown a bit larger, her wings fully spread measured about one meter sixty to seventy in length. However, she was still far from reaching her adult size, so for now, he could only continue feeding her daily.
He could ask Colton later if there was anything to accelerate the growth of mystical beasts.
Speaking of which, Charles remembered that he still hadn’t completed the formula for the supermiracle drug. He needed to look for it when he had time, the prospect of a 50% enhancement with no side effects was very tempting.
Once Mia, Max, and Mousie finished their meals, Charles headed straight to the bamboo grove where Colton lived.
This time, without him having to call out, the bamboo grove opened automatically, revealing the path inside.
After Charles entered, he noticed that Colton was already waiting for him at the door of the wooden cabin.
“Teacher, I’m here.” Charles greeted him.
Colton waved his hand and said directly, “Time is precious, let’s start today.”
“Okay, teacher.” Charles nodded and followed Colton into the cabin. They both went to the alchemy room.
Master-level alchemist Colton officially began his teaching.
The session was divided into two parts: theoretical knowledge and practical application. As time passed, the expression on Colton’s face grew increasingly astonished.
He had never seen anyone like Charles, who managed to make no mistakes at all.
Those basic theoretical concepts were challenging enough that even a special-class alchemist wouldn’t be completely confident in getting them right, yet Charles did!
A satisfied expression unconsciously appeared on Colton’s face, only to be quickly concealed.
As for the practical application, it was quite straightforward. Charles had already demonstrated his skills while refining the revival pill, and every movement he made was exceptionally standard, bordering on perfection.
What remained was learning even more advanced alchemy knowledge and some instruction on the use of various instruments and equipment.
There were a hundred different tools used in alchemy!
However, only about thirty of them were commonly utilized. But Colton had high expectations for Charles and hoped he could master as many alchemical instruments as possible, this was essential for becoming a special-class alchemist.
“Charles, wait here for a moment, I need to step out!” Colton said before turning and leaving, leaving Charles alone in the alchemy room.
Once Colton was outside the alchemy room, he burst into laughter.
He was genuinely thrilled, he hadn’t expected Charles to have such strong theoretical knowledge. This meant that the time required for him to learn more advanced alchemy would be far less than Colton had anticipated!
“In just a year, a master-level alchemist, Charles, you really can do it!” Colton took a moment to calm himself, suppressing his excitement. He hadn’t felt this happy in a long time.
Charles spent the entire night learning more advanced alchemy knowledge with Colton, and he returned to his dormitory only at eleven o’clock at night. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Due to his rapid learning pace, Colton established a schedule for classes every three days.
This arrangement did not interfere with Charles’s progress as a Beast Master.
Lying in bed in his dormitory, Charles tiredly drifted off to sleep.
