Beast taming, starting from zero point - Chapter 2297

Chapter 2297: Chapter 328: Post-Match Reactions (Double-Length)

Gilbert stood rigidly in place, his first reaction was that there must be something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he have heard such an absurd piece of news.

An 18-year-old A-level Professional Beast Tamer.

Th-this, how is that even possible!

Just as Gilbert began to doubt himself, the male student continued:

“Dean, you’d better go online and take a look, you’re already trending.” After speaking, the male student let out a sigh and turned to leave.

Gilbert stood there in a daze, letting the passing students around him stare at him with complicated expressions. It was only after quite a while that he finally managed to move his stiff limbs and leave.

He went back to his office, closed the door, and sat down in his chair, his expression vacant.

After sitting there blankly for five minutes, he suddenly remembered something:

He was trending?

Gilbert fell silent for a moment, picked up his phone, opened the relevant app, and soon saw the related headline:

[Well-known insider reveals that the dean of Yuliandun University Beast Taming Academy once rejected Qiao Sang’s admission]

Gilbert stared fixedly at this title. He took a deep breath, clicked in, and quickly skimmed through.

[According to a well-known insider, Gilbert Heron, dean of Yuliandun University Beast Taming Academy, once rejected Qiao Sang’s university application on the grounds that her cultural exam score was not up to standard. At the time, many admissions teachers felt that with Qiao Sang’s talent she should be given special admission, but Dean Gilbert Heron firmly opposed it.]

[It can be said that if it hadn’t been for Dean Gilbert Heron’s opposition, Qiao Sang would now be a student of Yuliandun University, representing our Super Host Star University Yuliandun in the Master Challenge Cup.]

[The only ever 18-year-old genius A-level Professional Beast Tamer failed to enter Yuliandun University because of a single wrong decision by Dean Gilbert Heron. One wonders, now that Dean Gilbert Heron knows Qiao Sang’s achievements, does he regret it?]

At this moment, Gilbert felt an unprecedented stab of heartache.

His hands trembling, he scrolled down and found that almost all the comments were condemning him for having no vision, calling him senile and the like.

There were even some messages from Yuliandun students:

[I don’t know which insider spilled this, but what he said is completely true! Qiao Sang’s first choice back then wasn’t Imperial Beastmaster Academy, it was our Yuliandun University! I’m furious! We’re talking about an 18-year-old A-level Professional Beast Tamer here!]

[I am a student of Yuliandun University. First of all, I really admire and respect Dean Gilbert, but the way he handled this matter was truly senile. He turned away a genius who could go down in history.]

[I strongly stand by our dean, but in this matter I have nothing to refute, and even want to join in the criticism.]

[I just found out about this… Can’t believe our university’s Beast Taming Academy dean also has moments when his judgment is that off.]

With a sharp “pa” sound, Gilbert slapped the phone down face-first on the desk.

“Knock knock!”

Just then, a knocking sound came from the door.

Gilbert slowly let out a long, turbid breath and said:

“Come in.”

A blond man pushed the door open and walked in.

He gave this venerable dean a complicated look.

Before he could speak, Gilbert keenly sensed that look and snorted coldly: “You’re here to laugh at me too?”

The blond man instantly broke out in a cold sweat: “How would I dare laugh at you.”

“What is it?” Gilbert asked.

“Ayoub from Guardian Class is participating in this year’s Master Challenge Cup. He’s been matched with a rather strong opponent in the prelims, so he wants to draw an advance of thirty thousand Points to buy a Super Source Pearl first,” the blond man hurriedly said.

Gilbert let out a short, derisive laugh: “How strong? As strong as Jerome from Flame Heaven University?”

The blond man fell silent.

Gilbert instantly understood what that meant and shouted angrily, “Qiao Sang had just become an A-level Beast Tamer and she could already defeat Jerome! How long has Ayoub been an A-level Professional Beast Tamer! He feels he can’t even beat someone weaker than Jerome! Always thinking about advancing Points—tell him there’s no way in hell, let him figure it out himself!”

“But…” The blond man hesitated, wanting to say more.

“Spit it out!” Gilbert was dissatisfied with everyone now.

“Qiao Sang is a bit different from those who just became A-level Professional Beast Tamers. She already has four Emperor Level Pet Beasts…” the blond man said.

The office fell into silence.

“Dean?”

“Dean!”

“Dean, are you alright, Dean!”

…

Blue Star, Dragon Country.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

Hangkang City, Pet Beast Base.

The place was noisy with voices and people flowing in and out like a weaving shuttle. Clearly when the doors first opened there weren’t many people, but later on, who knows what news everyone got—customers started coming in wave after wave.
