Chapter 3: Unintentional Eating Was the Deadliest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Yu Guang, it's your turn." Miss Ni repeated.
With Cui Anyu's failure experience, everyone understood what was meant by "The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment." Therefore, they avoided looking at her and turned to comfort the frustrated Cui Anyu.
"Relax, Yu Guang, don't feel pressured." Miss Ni comforted him, but her hand that was grabbing the corner of her clothes betrayed her true thoughts.
Yu Guang smiled indifferently and said, "I'm not nervous."
He walked to the appraisal stone with ease and reached out to touch it. A cold sensation spread from his fingertips to his limbs and bones, as if a clear spring had washed through his body.
A dazzling blue light suddenly lit up, instantly depriving everyone's sight and swallowing Yu Guang within!
Before Yu Guang could react to what had happened, he felt the appraisal stone tremble slightly, and even the stone slab beneath his feet began to tremble as well. His ears buzzed, as if the appraisal stone was about to speak.
The blue light continued shining and even illuminated the entire campus! Yu Guang felt his palm burn and hurriedly pulled it back to blow on it.
"What happened?" He looked at his red fingertips.
No one answered him.
After the blue light faded, Yu Guang turned around to look at the crowd. They all stared with their mouths agape, as if they had been shocked by something, so much so that it was as if they had been slapped.
"Yu Guang... You Are... SSS grade?" Miss Ni was shocked, rubbing her eyes hard and looking over again.
Yu Guang followed her voice and turned around. In the middle of the appraisal stone were three gold-plated S! The brightness was comparable to the sun in the sky!
"Oh my God! Am I Dreaming?!"
"There really is an SSS! So it's not written to scare people!"
"The big boss is actually by my side. I want to hug his thigh!"
"Not only is the Prince Charming handsome and has good grades, but his skill is also top-notch! He's too amazing!"
"He's still single, right? He's still single, right?"
The crowd immediately erupted into a round of enthusiastic applause! Everyone rushed up to surround Yu Guang. There were questions about his thoughts, secrets, and emotions. In short, there were all kinds of questions.
"Back off! Back off! Don't Hurt Yu Guang!"
Miss Ni hurriedly shielded Yu Guang behind her. Even if she was squeezed into a pulp, she had to protect her precious student! He was the only SSS-grade beastmaster in the entire human race!
Shouldering the burden of defending against demonic beasts and taking back their lost land, he definitely had to be protected! For a moment, everyone's fervent enthusiasm was drowned out by the light. He had become the most popular person in the entire school.
Seeing this scene, Cui Anyu, who had been forgotten after falling behind the crowd, could no longer suppress her despair. Tears as big as soybeans kept pouring out of her eyes.
Her cries were drowned out by the din of the crowd. No one noticed that she ran into the distance in a desolate manner, except for Yu Guang.
"Cui Anyu ran away!" Yu Guang tried to warn the crowd and also tried to divert their attention.
However, this method did not work at all. Miss Ni pulled him toward the direction of the office building. "If the principal knew that you're an SSS class, he would definitely be overjoyed!"
She couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly to the principal's office right now and introduce her student with flourish.
Yu Guang couldn't do anything about being caught in the middle of the crowd. He didn't care for the principal. He just wanted to check if Cui Anyu was alright.
It wasn't just because Cui Anyu was beautiful, but because she still had an undiscovered S-rank ice skill!
Right now, she mistook herself for an ordinary person who would never be able to become a beastmaster in her lifetime. For a moment, she couldn't think straight. She might never be able to meet another S-rank!
"Make way! Make Way!" Yu Guang pushed Miss Ni's hand away, forcefully pushing aside the students blocking his way, and ran in the direction where Cui Anyu had disappeared.
As he ran, Yu Guang suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did the subdued beast bait in his pocket split into two?
Not only did the subdued beast bait look like chocolate, but it also felt like chocolate. It must have split into two when the crowd rushed at him. Fortunately, the packaging only had a needle-sized hole.
Yu Guang felt the crack under the wrapping paper. His heart ached, and the rough feeling made him alert.
"This is my treasure for catching god-tier subdued beasts. I definitely can't break it!"
Yu Guang felt that it was too dangerous to carry it around with him. It was safer to keep it in a fixed place.
He stuck his head into the classroom and saw that there was no one inside. Then, he placed the bait in the deepest part of the desk as fast as he could and went out to look for Cui Anyu.
To his surprise, Cui Anyu returned to the classroom right after he left.
Now, the news of Yu Guang being SSS class seemed to have grown legs. It had already reached a point where everyone in the school knew about it. No matter where Cui Anyu hid, she could hear it.
This made her extremely annoyed!
It wasn't because she was jealous. She was just angry that she didn't live up to her expectations! It was good that she was F class! At least she could fight for one more time, but if she had no class, then she would be no different from a baby bird with a broken wing!
"How can this be! How can I still have the face to stay in school!" Cui Anyu lay on the desk in pain, her head buried in her arms with her tears falling on her dress.
Suddenly, she smelled a strange fragrance coming from Yu Guang's desk.
Cui Anyu was not a glutton. On the contrary, she was very disciplined in order to maintain her figure. But the sweet fragrance made her drool. Her hands reached into Yu Guang's desk and searched for a while. Eventually, she found a square-shaped thing.
"Is this the legendary chocolate?" Cui Anyu swallowed hard.
In this era of scarcity, even sugar was a luxury item, let alone a high-class product like chocolate! Cui Anyu felt the fragrance leaking out from the gaps of the packaging.
She was so sad that she had long forgotten where she was and what she was doing. She only wanted to find something that could make her happy.
She gently tore open the package and allowed herself to be immersed in the rich sweetness. Immediately after, Cui Anyu broke off a piece and slowly put it into her mouth.
Meanwhile…
Yu Guang, who was searching for Cui Anyun's whereabouts from floor to floor, suddenly saw a dialog box pop up in front of him.
[ Warning: God-tier Familiar Bait has been activated. The contract needs to be confirmed to take effect after 24 hours! ]
[ Reminder: If the host wishes to retrieve the God-tier Familiar Bait, you will need to reset this newbie gift bag. Time Limit: 10 Years! ]
Activated? What activated?
Yu Guang was stunned. He had obviously hidden the familiar bait. Why was it activated? And who did it catch? Another 10 years?
An ominous feeling slowly crept into his heart!
Yu Guang's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. His footsteps were like meteors as he hurriedly ran toward the classroom!
Before he reached the door, a sweet fragrance rushed into Yu Guang's nostrils! He dragged his heavy footsteps and walked into the door. He saw his deskmate, the unranked school belle, sitting in her seat.
In front of her was the remaining packaging of the God-tier Familiar Bait!
