Chapter 80: Hash’s Plan

“Giles, you really don’t have to worry about Alice at all.”

Seeing that Giles was worried about Alice’s safety, Hash’s tone became much more serious.

“Our Beast Tamer Association can ensure that Alice had received the notice of the gym closure in advance, but it’s indeed not convenient for her to contact us now.”

“I was also entrusted by the Beast Tamer Association to rush to the Beast Tamer Association’s branch this morning to help the City Guards maintain order on behalf of Alice, who couldn’t make it.”

“As for the investigation team that Alice is in, ever since they fought with the Beast Blood Sect, which is also investigating Mythic-rank spirit beasts, the investigation team has changed.”

“I don’t know the exact number of people, but all the Gold-rank Beast Tamers in the team have been withdrawn. The team is filled with at least Epic-rank Beast Tamers. It’s said that there are a few Legend-rank Beast Tamers leading the team.”

When he heard from Hash that there were several Legend-rank Beast Tamers in the investigation team, Giles heaved a sigh of relief.

A Legend-rank Beast Tamer had the ability to protect a city under the impact of a beast tide on their own.

With several Legend-rank Beast Tamers as the leaders of the investigation team, even if they were no match for Mythic-rank spirit beasts, they could ensure that all the investigators could escape unscathed.

“Hah, since there’s Legend-rank Beast Tamers leading the team, I can rest assured.”

“In that case, Mr Giles, can I go back to the Beast Tamer Association’s branch to eat my vegetable salad?”

Hash suddenly switched to the tone of a subordinate asking her superior, leaving Giles at a loss.

“Uh…”

Giles then snapped out of it. He had troubled Hash a lot today.

“Sister Hash, it’s been hard on you today. Take care.”

“Alright, alright. Don’t be so polite. Close the door of the gym first. I’ll tell you if there’s any news from Alice.”

Hash raised her hand and broke a leaf from the tree tail that the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle had used to shield her from the sun.

He watched as she lay on the lawn on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and used the leaf as a fan and began to fan herself.

“Let’s head back, Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle began to move, another slight vibration came from under Giles’ feet.

Giles watched as the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle gradually disappeared into the distance. He couldn’t help but feel curious.

Why is Hash’s style so different from what Alice described previously?

In Alice’s description, Giles had always thought that Hash was a hardworking genius.

Hence, when he first saw the sleepy Hash today, he did not recognize her.

Did something happen to Hash in the three years after they graduated from university that made her become so lazy and nonchalant?

“Hah, so many things have happened today…”

Giles closed the door of Starlux Gym and returned to his little wooden hut in the spirit-beast section.

“Fortunately, most of it is more or less resolved.”

Giles took out pen and paper and began drafting his training plan.

Next up, the most important thing is to train the Metal-feathered Eagle and improve my strength.

Meanwhile, after seeing Giles return to the gym and close the door behind him, Hash, who was looking relaxed and content, fanned herself with the leaf and lamented subconsciously, “Alice, oh Alice, your younger brother has given me a huge surprise.”

Even if Rex did not take the initiative to bring her to Starlux Gym today, she would have asked Rex to lead the way because she still had the mission from the Beast Tamer Association.

Initially, Hash was very excited when she received the notification from the Beast Tamer Association that she was going to Starlux Gym.

This was because she knew that her competitor, Alice, was the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. Now that there was less than half a year left until the end of their three-year bet, she, who was already an Elite Beast Tamer, wanted to announce her victory to Alice in advance.

However, she did not expect that the reason the Beast Tamer Association wanted her to go to Starlux Gym was because the investigation team that Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, was in, had suddenly lost contact with them when they were investigating the traces of Mythic-rank spirit beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Although the Beast Tamer Association had already contacted the local Beast Tamer Alliance to send out Legend-rank Beast Tamers to investigate, it was impossible for Starlux Gym to not have a Gym Leader for such a long time.

Therefore, after the Beast Tamer Association learned that the Elite Beast Tamer, Haxi, who had just gone to Yin City, was Gym Leader Alice’s university classmate, they asked her to evaluate whether Giles, who was the dark horse representing Starlux Gym, had the ability to become the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.

However, a few days ago, when she first arrived at this base city, Hash had met with the other Gym Leaders.

Among all the Gym Leaders, only Giles, the so-called “Acting Gym Leader,” was not at Starlux Gym.

As a result, she had no choice but to come to Starlux Gym to specially meet Giles to complete the mission from the Beast Tamer Association.

After Hash broke through to the Epic rank, the power she came into contact with was the Dreamland Power of Nature.

In order to enter the Legend rank as soon as possible, she needed to spend more than half of her time sleeping every day.

Her trip to Starlux Gym had actually taken up quite a bit of her time, so her initial impression of Giles was actually quite bad.

The dark horse that won the championship in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament? A 23-year-old Epic-rank Beast Tamer? That sounds impressive.

However, in Hash’s view, Giles, as the ‘Acting Gym Leader’, had not been at Starlux Gym for so many days. Just this point was enough to make Hash disqualify Giles from being the Gym Leader.

But what Hash did not expect was that although Giles was not even a Gold-rank Beast Tamer now, whether it was his character or his attitude towards spirit beasts, he was already a qualified Beast Tamer. He was completely in line with the requirements of being the Gym Leader.

“Sigh, when we get back to the Beast Tamer Association’s branch, I still have to watch the recording of Giles participating in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament to determine his ability to command spirit beasts.”

“If his commanding ability also passes, then next, I just have to think of a way to increase Giles’ strength to the Gold rank and help him train his spirit beasts. Then, I can directly let him become the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.”

Hash, who was talking to herself about arranging her own work, suddenly smiled.

Although the Beast Tamer Association couldn’t get in touch with Alice’s investigation team, Hash, who regarded Alice as a competitor, was not worried about Alice.

For Alice to be able to quickly advance to the Epic rank and become the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym in less than three years, she must have come across some fortuitous encounter like her.

“Alice, I wonder what your expression will be when you return to Starlux Gym and see that Giles is already the Gym Leader.”
