Chapter 297: The Military Has Given Too Much

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

“Where are the students?”

“It’s five minutes to 8:30 now. They should have gathered by now.”

“Then let’s go now.”

In the training camp of Skylight City’s First High School, Grade 3, Class Two, more than 30 students gathered together.

“I heard that it’s very dangerous to have an Emergency Response Team today. My mom doesn’t want me to go…”

“So what if they’re from the Emergency Response Team?” Some people said with disdain, “They’re just a bunch of soldiers.”

The person who said these words quickly attracted the attention of the entire class.

The Emergency Response Team had an extremely high status in the entire Southwest Region.

Even if someone didn’t like them, they wouldn’t dare to say it out loud.

This was a taboo.

A student frowned and said, “George, what do you mean?”

“Nothing much.” George waved his hand and smiled. “I was just joking. I was just joking. Don’t mind me.”

“Don’t think that you’re good just because your family has a few stinky dollars.”

“That’s right. If it wasn’t for the Emergency Response Team, do you think your family would still be able to do business?”

…

George’s expression was ugly, but he couldn’t refute it.

He always felt that he was the most clear-headed one.

What Beast Master’s responsibility was to protect his home, to protect the commoners?

He was tired of hearing it.

He didn’t believe in the Southwest Military’s methods at all.

Beast Masters were the strong, the superior. They should have the right to do whatever they wanted.

A person should live for themselves.

In his opinion, those who chose to enlist in the military were a bunch of fools.

Under the leadership of three teachers, Lugh came to the training camp and met the students of Skylight City First Middle School, Grade 3 Class Two.

Seeing them, Lugh thought of his classmates in Seven Star City.

As soon as he appeared, three classmates told him that he recognized them.

“Oh my god, it’s Lugh.”

“Lugh looks so handsome in his military uniform!”

“I have a poster of him hanging on my bed!”

“I want to take a photo with him!”

…

Hearing these cheers, Lugh felt a little proud.

However, he still appeared very calm.

He waved at the students.

A very calm voice sounded.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Lugh. I am currently the Captain of the 14th Team of the Emergency Response Team. I will be in charge of the lessons this morning. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”

Lugh didn’t forget his mission.

His mission was very simple. He was to promote the Southwest Military to these youths.

Hearing Lugh’s self-introduction, the Grade 3 students in Class Two cried out in surprise again.

“What? The Captain of the 14th Emergency Response Team?”

“The Captain of the Emergency Response Team should at least have the strength of a Platinum-tier Beast Master.”

“How is that possible? That’s too abnormal.”

“I remember that half a year ago, Lugh was also a Gold-tier Beast Master, right?”

…

The teacher of Class Two shouted loudly, “Everyone, be quiet and listen to Teacher Lugh.”

Soon, the students of Class Two all quieted down.

“Everyone, sit down.”

The conditions of the training camp in Skylight City were better than those in Seven Star City. There were neat benches made of cement.

Seeing Lugh sitting down, the other students of Class Two also sat down.

He noticed that many students of Class Two were looking at him with fanaticism.

“In fact, I don’t know what to say in this lecture. Maybe my predecessors have told you all about it.” Lugh thought for a while and said, “What are you interested in? As long as it doesn’t involve any personal issues, as long as it isn’t within the confidentiality rules, I can tell you all about it.”

Lugh spoke very casually, but all the students in Class Two could feel Lugh’s strong self-confidence as well as the faintly discernible calm aura that emanated from him.

This kind of aura was something that even their parents did not possess.

A girl raised her hand and said, “Teacher Lugh, I have a question.”

“Go ahead.” Seeing that the other party was about to stand up, Lugh waved his hand and said, “Just sit down and ask. We are not in the military camp now. Just do as you please.”

“Teacher Lugh, how old are you exactly?”

Lugh looked at the students below who were listening to him obediently. He could not help but laugh and say, “I’m almost seventeen.”

Even though many of the students had already roughly known Lugh’s age, hearing Lugh personally admit that he was still not seventeen years old…

This group of seventeen to eighteen-year-old students from Class Two still felt a great shock.

They were only seventeen to eighteen-year-old, and they were still students.

Many of the members of Class Two felt extremely bitter in their hearts.

Among them, the vast majority of the students came from decent backgrounds, and were born with an advantage over ordinary Beast Masters.

They were like ordinary youths of this age, feeling that they were born extraordinary.

Some of the students asked unwillingly, “Captain Lugh, do you have the strength of a Platinum-tier Beast Master?”

Everyone looked at Lugh, waiting for his answer.

Of course, they were more willing to hear Lugh say that his strength hadn’t reached Platinum-tier yet.

Of course, there were some students in Class Two who admired Lugh.

But there were also many who didn’t like Lugh.

People were all jealous.

However, Lugh’s answer disappointed them.

“I’ve long been Platinum rank. This Captain position was obtained through a fair fight.”

Lugh looked at the silent crowd. “Any other questions?”

This gap made all the students in Class Two feel despair.

After a moment of silence, a student asked, “Captain Lugh, how can we become stronger?”

Lugh smiled. Finally, someone asked the main question.

“If you want to become stronger, the first step is to properly nurture your pet beasts. The second step is to fight, the most intense battle.”

Lugh said in a deep voice, “Only after an intense battle, only after passing the test of fire and blood, can you nurture a true pet beast. Without battle, the pet beast in your hands can not be called a Divine Beast, but a pet.”

What Lugh said was the truth.

Without a large number of battle-hardened pet beasts, their combat strength was generally inferior to Fierce Beasts of the same level.

The purpose of suggesting a field training camp was to allow students to accumulate combat experience.

As long as one was an aspiring Beast Master, they wouldn’t let their pet beast become a pet.

“Do you want to know why I’m so strong?”

All the students looked at Lugh. Of course, they all wanted to know.

Lugh said calmly, “There might be a reason for my talent, but I’ve killed more Fierce Beasts than all of you have ever seen.”

At this moment, be it the third grade students from Class Two, the other three Gold-tier teachers, or Lucy…

They could all feel the intense, bone-chilling killing intent from Lugh’s body.

Of course, this killing intent only appeared for a moment before dissipating.

…

Lugh’s pet beasts were all killing step by step, whether it was the Stormhawk, the Berserk Bear, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, or the Void Spirit…

When the killing intent dissipated, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Including Lucy.

Lucy also knew that Lugh’s killing intent was very strong, but she did not expect that Lugh would actually accumulate such a dense killing intent.

Someone asked in a low voice, “Captain Lugh, if you want to become stronger, do you have to join the military?”

Lugh smiled. “Of course not. If you like freedom and don’t like being restricted, in fact, it doesn’t matter if you become a mercenary or an adventurer. As long as you keep fighting, you can become stronger.”

Lucy’s face froze.

This didn’t seem to fit the requirements of the advertisement.

Regardless of Lugh’s answer, many of the students in Class Two were very satisfied.

They felt that Lugh was very honest.

“Of course, I don’t want you to join some boring organization. Thank you for not bullying ordinary people.”

Lugh smacked his lips and said, “Those Beast Masters are too weak. I can’t even muster the slightest interest in them.”

The mockery in Lugh’s words wasn’t concealed at all.

Many of the Class Two students laughed along with him.

Lugh seemed to reminisce a little as he said, “Actually, in the past, I also liked being free and carefree. I also wanted to be a wanderer in the wilderness, rather an adventurer…”

Someone asked curiously, “Then why did Captain Lugh join the Emergency Response Team?”

Lugh covered his face and said, “Er… Can I say, is it because the military gave too much?”

The Grade 3 students in Class Two all laughed together.

They all knew that Lugh was telling the truth, but they still wanted to laugh.
