Others Tame Beasts, I Tame Demons - Chapter 1

West River State.

In the classroom of Grade 10 Class (4) of Guancheng First High School.

Su Yi stared blankly at the baffling questions on the blackboard, his mind in a mess.

‘Can an Iron-toothed Crocodile bite through the shell of a Rock Turtle of the same level. Why?’

‘Assuming a thermoelectric conversion efficiency of 30 per cent, what’s the maximum electricity an hour a Fire Fox can generate?’

‘An Electric Frog has an elementary Electric Shock skill. How many meters must it advance to electrocute an enemy ten meters away?’

Iron-toothed Crocodile, Rock turtle, Electric Frog…

‘What the hell is all this?’

Looking at this familiar classroom and the young faces, Su Yi thought that he had been reborn into high school.

However…

When the teacher explained those strange questions seriously, he realized that things might be even more ridiculous than he had imagined!

Could this be a rebirth into a strange parallel world?

He instinctively glanced at the textbook on the table, and became more certain of his guess.

‘Meditation’

‘Extraordinary Creatures’

‘Covenant Space’

‘The Beast Tamer Code’

…

“What strange subjects are these?”

Before he could continue to be surprised, he felt a sharp pain in his head. A large number of memories surged like spring water.

So the world really was different!

The history of this world was similar to that of the Blue Planet.

However, more than 40 years ago, many mystic realms suddenly appeared all over the world. They fused with the Blue Planet and poured in a large amount of strange energy.

Under the influence of these energies, many animals and plants began to evolve and mutate.

The weak beasts had become terrifying creatures.

The small forest became a big forest, and the big forest became an endless primeval forest.

There was no longer any need for humans to plant trees.

Large areas of land were invaded by these mutated plants, and even many villages, towns, and cities were drowned.

These evolved and mutated plants were like dire beasts. Many of them had self-awareness and offensive abilities. Humans could not survive inside at all.

For this reason, the living space of humans was instantly reduced by more than half.

These mutated animals and plants were collectively known as extraordinary creatures.

If there were only these newly evolved extraordinary creatures, it was not impossible for humans to deal with them.

Unfortunately, in addition to these native evolved and mutated creatures, a large number of extraordinary creatures from the mystic realms also surged into the Blue Planet.

These extraordinary creatures were even stronger. Some of them could even move mountains and swallow nuclear bombs!

Under the ravages of these transcendent creatures, humankind was in danger.

Fortunately, humans had also evolved under the influence of the strange energy.

Although they did not directly obtain powerful strength like other animals and plants, they had the ability to control extraordinary creatures.

These people were called Beast Tamers. They could contract extraordinary creatures and make them their pets!

They would use the supernatural to deal with the supernatural and the dire beasts to deal with the dire beasts.

Thanks to the hard work of the Beast Tamers, humans did not suffer a crushing defeat and maintained their current survival space.

As a result, Beast Tamers became the most respected and desirable profession.

However, not everyone could be a Beast Tamer.

In addition to a certain amount of talent, there had to be enough financial resources and luck.

Talent was the most basic thing. Without talent, one could never contract a pet, so one naturally could not become a Beast Tamer.

Next came financial resources and luck.

Without enough financial resources and luck, no matter how talented one was, it was hard to find an outstanding pet.

Or even if one obtained a pet, one wouldn’t have enough resources to nurture it.

Su Yi’s luck was not good, but it was not bad either.

At the very least, he had long been tested to have talent in beast taming and had been admitted to Guancheng First High School.

Guancheng First High School was also known as the Experimental High School of Beast Taming. It was the only public high school in the entire city that nurtured Beast Tamers!

Having so many memories stuffed into his head in such a short time, Su Yi felt like his head was about to explode.

By the time he’d recovered, he’d been sprawled on his desk for several minutes.

His deskmate, Li Xinhao, was stabbing him crazily with a pen holder.

“Stop it. I have a headache.”

Su Yi rubbed his swollen temples, looking tired.

“I’m not messing with you. The form teacher has called your name several times!”

Li Xinhao reminded him softly.

“Uh…”

Su Yi opened his eyes and saw the form teacher and the other students looking at him. He finally reacted and quickly sat up straight.

The form teacher, Liu Yiting, was only in her twenties. She did not reprimand him. Instead, she revealed a hint of pity and comforted him.

“Student Su Yi, there’s still half a month until the final exam. Don’t be too anxious. Since you were able to enter this place, it means that you have Beast Taming Talent. As long as you persevere and work hard, you will definitely be able to become a true Beast Tamer. It’s the same for the other two students who have yet to open up the Beast Taming Space. Don’t give up until the last moment!”

She thought Su Yi was “sleeping” in class because of a mental problem…

This form teacher was really as responsible as ever. At such a time, she did not forget to encourage the students who were dragging the class down.

Except…

He was clearly one of the top three students in high school!

How did he become a bad student here?

Su Yi was filled with emotions.

According to the rules of Guancheng First High School, if one could not open up a Beast Taming Space this semester and become a true Beast Tamer, they would be expelled from school.

Because starting next semester, there would be a practical class.

How could they continue to learn without a contracted beast?

In the entire Class 4, there were only three students who had yet to succeed.

And Su Yi was one of them.

Seriously?!

He had been called “someone else’s child” by his neighbors since he was young. He was a model and an example for others. He had never thought that he would one day be a burden!

Unacceptable!

Wasn’t it just opening up a Beast Taming Space?

As long as he worked hard to train his mental strength, it should not be difficult.

If so many students in the class could do it, there was no reason why he couldn’t!

Su Yi did not believe it.

“Ring, ring—”

The bell rang, signaling the end of the lesson.

Liu Yiting packed her textbooks and walked to Su Yi’s desk. She said softly, “Come to the office with me.”

Was he going to be lectured alone?

Su Yi was a little helpless, but he still followed behind her obediently.

Sensing the various gazes from his classmates, he finally understood how those poor students felt when their teachers called them to the office to be reprimanded.

It wasn’t wonderful at all.

“Student Su Yi, your theoretical tests are very good. You’ve always been in the top three of your grade. As long as you open up the Beast Taming Space, I believe you can definitely become an outstanding Beast Tamer!”

“Beast Tamers are the elites of society and the hope of the country. As long as you become a Beast Tamer and step into society, you can easily find a high-income job.”

“I’ve called you over to give you a suggestion. After you go home, discuss with your parents and buy some materials to assist in your cultivation. You can buy Concentration Grass and Spirit Calming Incense. You can’t be petty. This concerns your future!”

It turned out that Liu Yiting did not call him to the office to reprimand him.

Looking at the earnest form teacher, Su Yi knew that she really wanted to help him.

Except…

These materials were extremely expensive. How could a single-parent family like his afford them?

Even the cheapest Concentration Grass cost nearly ten thousand apiece.

That’s two months’ wages for his mother!

Moreover, the Concentration Grass could only play an auxiliary role. The effect of one stalk could last for at most one night. Usually, one would buy ten stalks at a time.

Ten stalks would be about a hundred thousand…

“The world is so unkind to poor students.”

Su Yi shook his head to himself.

In the other world, although his family background was the same, he didn’t spend much money to get into a top-notch university. The biggest additional expense was buying some extracurricular books.

The poorness of his family did not hinder him much.

But now, if he didn’t want to be expelled, he would have to spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. How could students from poor families survive?

With such a high learning cost, even the so-called elite education had to kneel down and pay respects!

“Thank you, ma’am. I’ll discuss it with my family.”

Su Yi thanked his teacher.

But he had no intention of actually telling his mother.

Was this a discussion? This was a knife to his mother’s heart!

“It seems even more difficult to leap to a higher class in this world!”

Walking out of the office, Su Yi looked at the students playing with their pets on the field and felt a little emotional.

What to do next?

Continue to meditate or find a way to get some money to buy supplementary materials?

But how would a high school student get money?

Applying for a loan with naked pictures? Sperm donation?

If someone with the Beast Taming Talent donated it, they might really be able to get a lot of money…

“Ding! Beast Taming System activated!”

Just as his thoughts were running wild, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded.
