I Let You Manage the Beast Taming Arena, Now Everyone Became Divine Beasts?-Chapter 72 - How Disappointing
Chapter 72: How Disappointing
However, Giles did not take Rex’s words to heart.
The current Giles was no longer the same Giles who had just taken over the management of the gym and was eager to prove his strength.
Right now, he actually did not care about the identity of “acting gym leader”.
Giles, who was lost in thought, was only trying to recall where he had heard the name ‘Hash’ before.
“He’s only 25 years old and the youngest elite Beast Tamer. I should definitely have an impression of such an impressive person.”
If the “Gym Leader” was the strongest Beast Tamer in the municipal district, then the “Elite” was the strongest Beast Tamer in the base city.
Rex said that “Her Excellency Hash” had been awarded this honor at the age of 25. Although it might be an exaggeration, the fact that she could help the City Guards quickly maintain order like the other gym leaders meant that she was minimally as powerful as the gym leader.
One had to know that when Beast Tamers teamed up, there would usually be over a hundred people gathered at the Beast Tamer Association to protest. In addition, they might even let their spirit beasts out to cause trouble. The impact and destruction that this would cause was no small matter.
Therefore, at times like this, they often needed someone with absolute strength to suppress and intimidate them. Otherwise, the agitated Beast Tamers would not quietly listen to others.
But why did Mr Rex specially bring such a powerful Elite Beast Tamer to Starlux Gym?
Although Giles could not remember where he had heard the name ‘Hash’ before, he suddenly remembered that Rex had mentioned that Her Excellency Hash would come over later.
“Mr Rex, didn’t you mention that Her Excellency Hash would come to Starlux Gym?”
“Yes, it has only been three or four days since Her Excellency Hash came to our base city. We, the leaders of the City Guards, are also cooperating with her to help her familiarise with some of the important figures in the various municipalities.”
Rex’s smile faded when Giles mentioned that Hash was coming to Starlux Gym later. His expression always became serious when work-related matters were mentioned.
“Her Excellency Hash met with the various Beast-taming Gym Leaders of our base city two days ago. Yesterday evening, when I was introducing the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr Gars, to Her Excellency Hash at the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, we didn’t expect the eldest daughter of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, Elena, to come back.
“It was also Miss Elena who told us that you had already returned to Starlux Gym, so after settling the commotion at the Beast Tamer Association’s branches this morning, Her Excellency Hash and I came over from the Beast Tamer Association branch.”
Rex paused for a moment, looking helpless.
“It’s just that I walked a little faster than her, so I rushed over to confirm if you were in the gym.”
Giles could hear the helplessness in Rex’s voice. Looking at Rex’s white hair and beard, Giles could not help but wonder,?Mr Rex is already 60 years old this year. How can he move faster than an Elite 25-year-old Beast Tamer like Her Excellency Hash?
Just as Giles was pondering this, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake.
After several tremors, a huge figure slowly blocked the sunlight at the entrance of the gym.
“Is this Alice’s Starlux Gym?”
After hearing a lazy female voice ask in a puzzled tone, Giles regained his senses and looked up.
He saw a three-meter-tall Alligator Snapping Turtle, that was as large as a truck, standing in front of him.
This Alligator Snapping Turtle’s four limbs and abdomen were brownish-yellow in color, similar to the soil. Its head and feet were protected by a grayish-white armor in the appearance of tree bark.
The most eye-catching thing about it was the emerald green tortoise shell on its back, as if it was covered in a huge leaf.
However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was actually a thick and large tree.
On the edge of its shell and above its four limbs, it had many mushrooms and moss as embellishments.
If it were anyone else, when they first saw this giant Alligator Snapping Turtle, they would probably think of it as a moving rockery.
Feeling the pressure coming from the giant Alligator Snapping Turtle in front of him, Giles could not help but be shocked.
That intense pressure was not only brought about by this Alligator Snapping Turtle’s huge body. Its body itself vaguely emitted a powerful aura. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
This giant Alligator Snapping Turtle is a spirit beast that is minimally at the Epic rank. Moreover, it might have already entered the Legend rank.
At the thought of a Legend-rank spirit beast possessing the ability to speak human language, Giles turned his head in surprise and looked at Rex.
“Uh, Mr Rex, could Her Excellency Hash whom you mentioned just now be this Legend-rank Alligator Snapping Turtle spirit beast that can speak the human language?”
“Her Excellency Hash is not a spirit beast, but this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle is indeed about to enter the Legend rank. Besides, when I first saw this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, I was also shocked like you.”
Rex waved at Giles dismissively. Then, he raised his head and waved towards the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.
“Your Excellency, this is Giles whom I mentioned to you a while ago.”
“Huh? You’re saying that this kid is the acting gym leader who helped Starlux Gym win the championship in the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament?”
Following the indolent female voice, the tree on the back of the Alligator Snapping Turtle slowly began moving and fell backward.
Only then did Giles realize that the tree on the back of the Alligator Snapping Turtle was actually the tail of the Alligator Snapping Turtle. On the turtle shell of the Alligator Snapping Turtle, there was actually a green lawn.
The reason why that tree-like tail had covered the back of the Alligator Snapping Turtle was also to shield the person on the turtle from the dazzling sunlight at noon.
A woman with disheveled hair was sitting on the lawn on the turtle’s back. She looked like she had just woken up. She was scratching her messy hair and yawning.
When Giles looked up at her, she, who was stretching and squinting, also looked down at Giles.
“Is the quality of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament already so low?”
After staring at Giles for a few seconds, Hash frowned and asked Rex unhappily, “Although the contestants representing the Beast-taming Gyms are all candidates for the next Gym Leader, you can’t possibly let a Beast Tamer who isn’t even at the Gold rank stay on till the end and win the championship, can you?” ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
“Your Excellency Hash, did you just say that Giles is a Beast Tamer who isn’t even at the Gold rank?”
Rex was greatly puzzled by Hash’s evaluation of Giles.
“But as far as I know, after Giles won the championship of the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament, he was already evaluated by the Beast Tamer Association as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.”
“You said that he has been evaluated as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer by the Beast Tamer Association?”
Hash, who was originally stretching on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, suddenly perked up when he heard Rex mention that Giles was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.
Giles watched as she jumped from the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle all the way to him. Before Giles could react to what Hash was planning, she grabbed his right hand.
“Hah, I thought that I was still sleeping and had made a mistake in my judgment. I didn’t expect the outcome to be so disappointing!”
As the spirit beast tattoo on Giles’ right arm lit up slightly, Hash sighed in disappointment and once again evaluated Giles’ strength.
“I really don’t know what the Beast Tamer Association’s evaluation standard was when they evaluated you.”
“They actually rated you, a five-star Silver-rank Beast Tamer, as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.”
