The Strongest Beast Tamer With the Strongest System-Chapter 74: Another Beast Tamer

Even though they weren’t doing anything—just holding hands, with Margaret occasionally feeding Leonardo snacks—they still looked overly romantic in the eyes of the watching students.

It was hard for them to believe, considering that just a few days ago, one of them had been the other’s prey.

Today, Leonardo followed Margaret’s activities at school while observing the development of her subordinates.

He was merely curious, but he soon realized it was boring for someone like him, who disliked managing people unless it was absolute control for his own benefit.

He left when Margaret became too busy—not leaving the school, but heading somewhere quiet instead: the rooftop of the school building.

It was quite silent once classes began.

At Level 17, neither Liam nor Ellie could gather EXP as quickly as before.

It had become harder for them to find monsters to kill, and the EXP they gained required much more effort.

Although Leonardo could now level up on his own due to having the Knight Class, he had no interest in doing so.

If that were the case, there would be no point in being a Beast Tamer. His role was simply to manage his monsters.

The time to choose a Reward was approaching, and Leonardo began thinking about which of his monsters he should select—Ellie, Liam, or Freya again.

DING!

(You can add one talent or skill to your monster, or to yourself—for talents and skills related to the Knight class!)

When the System notification appeared, Leonardo froze, stunned.

It wasn’t unfamiliar, but it was longer than usual.

For himself. Previously, that option didn’t exist, because as a Beast Tamer, he basically had no ability to use skills or possess talents on his own.

That changed when he added the Knight Class to himself.

Now, the System wouldn’t just grant skills and talents to his monsters, but also to him.

If that was the case, he was naturally tempted to request something for himself.

(Give me the strongest Boost Power talent!) Leonardo typed.

A Knight was a pure physical fighter.

Their talents consisted of only one type: Boost Power.

However, Boost Power came in many variations, with differences in class and strength.

From what Leonardo knew, some Boost Powers didn’t just multiply strength but could also convert other attributes into physical power needed by a Knight.

DING!

(SS-Class Talent, Apex Overdrive, has been added to the host!)

(Apex Overdrive: Automatically multiplies the host’s physical attributes and converts power from other attributes to strengthen physical ones. The enhancement increases as the host faces greater danger. The host can also automatically focus all attributes into a single one—Strength when attacking, Defense when defending, and Agility when moving or escaping. When activated, the host emits a faint golden glow!)

(Knight Talent:)

Apex Overdrive (SS Class)

"What the hell is this?"

Leonardo didn’t feel happy—he felt puzzled instead.

Only SS Class. He had clearly asked for the strongest. Could it be that Knight talents only went up to SS Class?

"Unless it’s true... that there are different tiers of Knight Classes?" Leonardo wondered, recalling a rumor he once heard.

That rumor said there were higher Knight Classes, like Sky Knights or Dragon Knights.

It was only a rumor, and no one knew whether such classes truly existed.

"Well, I’ll replace it later if that’s the case," Leonardo thought.

Unfortunately, the System didn’t grant him new classes.

Otherwise, he could have multiple classes.

Still, this talent was already good enough. It compensated for his lack of physical attributes, allowing him to focus on others.

Thomas’s talent was probably something like this, but of a lower class—likely just S Class.

(Anderson, where are you?)

Leonardo’s phone suddenly received a message.

It was from Mary, which surprised him.

Compared to Elsa, Mary was quieter, so it was unusual for her to message first.

(What is it?) Leonardo replied.

(I need your help. Can we meet?)

(I’m on the rooftop...)

Leonardo was curious about what kind of help she wanted.

It was somewhat amusing, considering she was under his control.

But because of that, he thought whatever she needed might benefit him as well.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare ask—or at least she would have to pay a high price.

He didn’t have to wait long before seeing Mary appear from the stairway.

She glanced around before approaching him, her expression clearly hesitant.

"What do you want?" Leonardo asked.

Mary stayed silent for a moment before answering, "Phantom Veil Orchid... do you still have it?"

Hearing that, Leonardo frowned.

Even he wanted more Phantom Veil Orchids.

And yet Mary was asking for it.

"Do you want to use it yourself? Has the effect weakened?" Leonardo asked.

To enforce obedience, the effect lasted up to a week.

But the intoxicating effect didn’t last that long—it could fade much faster if the person had high Intelligence. As a Magus, Mary had quite high Intelligence.

Naturally, Leonardo wouldn’t give her more before a week passed.

That was only if he even had any left.

If not, he would use other methods to keep his secrets hidden from both Mary and Elsa.

"No, of course not. It’s not for me..." Mary quickly replied.

"Then who is it for?" Leonardo asked again.

"There’s someone who just awakened as a Beast Tamer..."

"Oh..." Leonardo straightened up when he heard that.

"Don’t tell me you want to become a Beast Tamer too?" he cut her off.

"No, it’s for my younger brother. He has a weak body and is unlikely to awaken. Even if he does, it would be difficult for him unless it’s Beast Tamer—so he can stay at home while his monsters level for him."

"If Margaret finds out about him, wouldn’t she want him too?" Leonardo asked.

"No, Margaret doesn’t want it anymore. The news just spread, but she doesn’t care."

"Is he a student at this school?"

"Yes, a first-year student. Anderson, I’ll pay a fair price for the Phantom Veil Orchid."

"So you’re quite ruthless as well..." Leonardo chuckled, causing Mary to freeze.

"You know, there are only a few Beast Tamers. When a new one appears, I feel a sense of brotherhood among us."

"Don’t you want to help?" Mary asked, a bit nervous since she couldn’t get angry at Leonardo.

"Not only do I not want to—I forbid you from doing this... You can think of another way for your younger brother..."

"But..." Mary was stunned upon hearing that.

"In short, it’s not allowed... I’ll go meet that student myself..."

Leonardo stood up and walked away, leaving behind a disappointed-looking Mary.

There were some things he still wouldn’t do, even for his own benefit.

Sure enough, when he went downstairs, there was a bit of commotion.

Students were discussing the one who had awakened as a Beast Tamer.

This was even more shocking than Leonardo’s case, because that student was only a first-year—still very young.

Leonardo heard that he was in his classroom, so he headed to the first-year class.

Quite a number of students had gathered there.

Who knew what their intentions were.

Leonardo was now an influential student. Several students moved aside as he walked past.

He soon spotted the student, who was currently talking with Thomas.

The boy looked very young—much younger than other first-years—and gave off a timid impression.

He was somewhat like Jack, though Jack stood out more.

His nervousness was obvious as he listened to Thomas.

Thomas was asking whether the student was interested in selling his Beast Tamer Class.

Who knew who he wanted it for—whether for himself or for Margaret, unaware that Margaret no longer wanted the Beast Tamer Class.

The student clearly became awkward when asked if he wanted to sell it.

Leonardo was a living example of how successful one could be with that class. He was even dating Margaret now—but before that, he had gone through difficult times.

The student was naturally inspired by Leonardo’s success, but he didn’t have the same confidence.

"What are you doing?" Leonardo asked Thomas.

Thomas couldn’t help but be startled when Leonardo approached him and spoke like that.

There was no longer any trace of inferiority in Leonardo’s attitude.

"What?" Thomas replied.

"You’re not trying to force him to give up his class, are you?"

"I’m asking if he wants to sell it," Thomas answered. "Why, do you have a problem with that?"

"No Beast Tamer would sell their class unless they’re forced to. At least in this school, I won’t let that happen."

No one expected Leonardo to make such a declaration.

Thomas, who had been sitting, stood up and frowned.

"Do you think you’re already qualified just because you’re backed by Margaret?"

"You’ve got something wrong—this isn’t about one person supporting another; we’re just dating.—we’re dating. That’s all," Leonardo replied casually.

After that, he stopped looking at Thomas.

He sat in front of the Beast Tamer student, taking the seat Thomas had been using.

The student looked confused.

Even though Leonardo inspired him with his success, that didn’t mean he trusted him. After all, he was dating Margaret. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If she still wanted the Beast Tamer Class, wouldn’t there be a possibility that Leonardo would help her...?
