No one noticed, at the moment, a woman dressed in a black woolen coat and wearing sunglasses, making it impossible to see her face, was sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant.
And at the table diagonally opposite her sat a middle-aged man with a gloomy demeanor.
As if they had realized something, the two exchanged a glance and both paused momentarily.
Then, as if by agreement, they lowered their heads, pretending not to recognize each other.
The Minister Yang from the Zitiya Region was actually here, could it be his purpose was the same as hers... Minister Lan pondered this when, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a young girl getting up. She made a quick decision without time to think further, tapping her right index finger lightly on the table twice.
The white floral earring on her right ear suddenly turned into a drop of water and fell to the floor, flowing after the girl.
...
Restroom in the restaurant, women’s toilet.
The assessment standards for special recruitment by top academies vary each year, but her specialty was Beast Taming combat. In any case, the test would probably involve combat as well, so it shouldn’t be a big problem...
What she needed to do now was to pass the D-rank Beast Tamer assessment when she got back, which also shouldn’t be a big problem...
The real problem was the cultural score; she had no idea if winning this championship would allow the culture score requirement of the top ten academies to be lowered even further...
While her thoughts churned, Qiao Sang came to the wash basin and placed her hands under the faucet.
"Whoosh~"
Instead of scattering, the water on her hands coalesced into a jelly-like mass.
Damn, what is this... Qiao Sang reflexively flicked her hand.
The milky-white "jelly" fell on the wash basin.
Something unexpected occurred.
The "jelly" in the middle suddenly opened a blue eye and then swelled up abruptly, turning into a Pet Beast about 30 centimeters in size, with a milky-white body soft yet bouncy.
So it was a Pet Beast... Qiao Sang, who had seen all kinds of peculiar abilities of Pet Beasts in different regions over the past few months, calmed down instantly, asking, "Are you lost?"
"Guo Guo." The milky-white Pet Beast shook its head, then opened its mouth and started digging with its paws.
Ew, that’s disgusting... Qiao Sang grimaced.
But the next second, she was stunned.
Because the Pet Beast in front of her had actually fished out a transparent folder containing white papers from its mouth.
"Guo Guo." The milky-white Pet Beast handed the transparent folder to her.
Qiao Sang: "..."
After staring at the still damp folder for a few seconds in silence, Qiao Sang decisively turned and walked away.
"Guo Guo!"
The milky-white Pet Beast became anxious and quickly blocked Qiao Sang’s path, calling out.
Qiao Sang stopped helplessly and asked, "Is this really for me?"
"Guo Guo!"
The milky-white Pet Beast nodded.
"Do you know me?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Guo Guo!" The milky-white Pet Beast nodded again.
At that moment, a very familiar mechanical voice came through, "Guo Didi, an advanced Water-type Pet Beast from the Ancient Mist Region, capable of solidifying and liquidizing into various shapes. Despite its squishy appearance, it has an extremely stubborn disposition and will not give up until it achieves its goal."
Qiao Sang glanced silently to the side.
Sure enough, she saw Xiao Xunbao holding a Pet Beast Identifier, appearing out of nowhere.
"Xun~"
Feeling the gaze of its Beast Tamer, Xiao Xunbao grinned pleasingly and disappeared from sight.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Guo Guo!"
At this time, Guo Didi pushed the transparent folder forward again.
Qiao Sang looked down at the folder in front of her for a couple of seconds before taking it.
Through the transparent file sleeve, she could clearly see the top document which read "Ancient Mist University Special Recruitment Brief" in bold characters.
Isn’t this the top academy in the Ancient Mist Region... Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment and when she looked up again, the Guo Didi had disappeared.
Who would send this to me... Qiao Sang wondered, and then opened the folder to take out the papers inside, scanning them line by line.
[I. Recruitment Project]
[Beast Taming Combat]
[II. Application Requirements]

[The prospective admission list will be determined based on the candidates’ comprehensive scores] freёweɓnovel.com
To be honest, Qiao Sang was tempted.
Top-tier institutions, these are top-tier institutions!
Ancient Mist University’s ranking is even ninth among all top-tier universities in the country!
Just by registering, she could be directly admitted; the temptation was undeniable.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and calmed herself down slightly.
The final special note was too targeted, clearly aimed at her, and they even had Guo Didi deliver the recruitment brochure to her.
The Ancient Mist Region is really... too touching!
At that moment, the image of the Ancient Mist Region shone brightly in Qiao Sang’s heart, almost feeling like a second home.
Just as Qiao Sang was immersed in her emotions, the bathroom light suddenly went out.
With a "bang," the door to the bathroom also shut.
What the hell... Qiao Sang was startled and looked around cautiously.
As she was preparing to quickly rush out to open the door, a ghostly green, will-o’-the-wisp-like Pet Beast appeared before her, holding a transparent document bag with white papers in it.
Qiao Sang glanced at her hand instinctively and realized her document bag was still with her.
"Nuo Nuo."
At that moment, the ghostly Pet Beast handed over the document bag it was holding.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"For me?" Qiao Sang took a deep breath and asked tentatively.
"Nuo Nuo," the ghostly Pet Beast nodded.
"Nuo Nuo, a high-level Spectral-series Pet Beast from the Zitiya Region, do not make any promises in front of it, as failing to keep them might lead to terrible consequences," a mechanical electronic voice timely provided.
Qiao Sang turned her head and, as expected, saw Xiao Xunbao.
This time, Xiao Xunbao wasn’t invisible but was cautiously watching the Pet Beast in front of her.
"Nuo Nuo," the Nuo Nuo extended the document bag forward again.
If you’d said it was for me earlier, that would have been nice. You didn’t have to make it so scary... Qiao Sang complained to herself and politely accepted it.
"Nuo Nuo."
Seeing this, the Nuo Nuo courteously smiled and then faded from view, disappearing.
The next second, the lights came on brightly, and the door opened as well.
