Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

There is a separate grandstand at the highest point in each of the four cardinal directions, presumably reserved for the principal or other important figures.

With this as the core, the level of the stands has been continuously declining.

In the end, only the crowded regular seats were left.

The stands where the Rocket Class was located were right next to the core area where the principal was, forming a separate area.

Each seat was very comfortable and spacious, with adequate spacing, so it didn't feel crowded at all, and there were also many snacks and drinks available next to each person.

Seeing that Zhou Heng and the others had settled down, Xu Weiran and Chen Qingshan slipped away.

The stands were divided into three small areas. In addition to the students in their first-year advanced class, there were two other advanced classes, namely the second-year and third-year advanced classes, with fewer than ten students in each class.

While he was sizing up others, they were also sizing him up.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Heng simply gave a polite smile.

When the students in the advanced classes of the second and third years of high school met Zhou Heng's gaze, they smiled and nodded.

There was no arrogant attitude from older students towards younger students, as is common in schools.

Since everyone here is a chosen one, they won't easily clash or offend each other unless there's a direct conflict of interest.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng and the others waited for a while, when suddenly a piece of music came, accompanied by a flash of colorful rainbow light, and dozens of figures descended from the sky and landed on the core grandstand.

Among these people were the principal of No. 3 Middle School and three vice principals, including Zhang Peng, as well as some teachers and parents whose strength was at least at the fourth-level Grandmaster Beast Tamer level.

Li Lang exclaimed excitedly, "Ah Heng, look! Among the twelve people standing at the very front, besides the principal and the three vice-principals, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li are also there!"

On the high platform, a strong and handsome man and a woman with outstanding temperament stood proudly.

When the principal of No. 3 Middle School and others faced the two, they were humble and smiling, as if they were surrounded by stars.

These two people were Zhou Heng's parents.

Zhou Heng's gaze sharpened: "Not only that, Liu Yao's father has also come."

Following Zhou Heng's gaze, Li Lang saw a dignified-looking middle-aged man standing beside Zhang Peng.

Zhou Heng then asked, "Why didn't Uncle Li and Aunt Li come?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Lang's eyes: "No, they're busy with their family businesses, they don't have time to come over."

Zhou Heng didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only ask, "Who are the other five people?"

Li Lang carefully observed the crowd on the stage and guessed, "Those two people in white should be a couple. They kept looking towards the area of ​​the top class in the first year of high school. They might be Zhang Yunfeng's parents."

Zhou Heng quickly realized: "Look, they've all sat down, and there are nameplates in front of them, aren't there?"

Li Lang read out the name tags of the two people, confirming his guess: "Zhang Xianghao, chairman of Liuyun Group, and Xu Wenting, junior councilor of the Hunters Association, should be Zhang Yunfeng's parents."

Zhou Heng nodded, then glanced at the nameplates in front of his parents. One read "Zhou Ting, Deputy Director of Education, Education Department," and the other "Li Yuewan, Member of the National Council of the Chinese Pharmacists Association."

Both Zhou Heng's mother and Zhang Yunfeng's mother were fifth-tier warrior beast tamers, but one was a senior councilor and the other a junior councilor, probably because of their different backgrounds.

Given equal strength, the stronger the background, the higher the status.

Li Lang continued, "Look, there's another one with white hair. That man is from the garrison. I heard there's a student surnamed Fang in the second-year high school rocket class. I wonder what their relationship is."

Zhou Heng understood immediately: "They're probably relatives, otherwise they wouldn't have come in person. After all, this is just a monthly grade-level competition, not a mid-term or final grade-level competition."

Unlike regular high schools, Beast Taming High School uses competitions instead of monthly exams, midterm exams, and final exams.

But they are essentially the same, both used to test students' learning outcomes, so the names are similar.

The white-haired man sat to the right of Zhou's father, closer to him than the principal of No. 3 Middle School, who was also very polite to him.

The nameplate in front of him revealed his identity: Fang Yihan, assistant to the garrison commander.

The garrison commander and his two deputy garrison commanders are all seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers; such powerful individuals would not personally handle mundane affairs.

In reality, the daily management of Xuanxiao City is handled by the Prefectural Magistrate of the Garrison.

The most powerful among the prefectural officials is the Grand Prefectural Official, followed by the ordinary prefectural officials, and then the assistant prefectural officials.

Although this position may seem low-ranking, it is actually very crucial, falling into the category of having low rank but great power.

That's why he was able to sit to the right of Zhou's father.

After all, as the Deputy Director of Education of the Education Bureau, Mr. Zhou was the highest-ranking person present, so he sat in the main seat in the middle.

As Zhou's father's partner and a senior councilor of the Pharmacists Association, Zhou's mother naturally sat to his left.

The right side can only be occupied by Fang Yihan, the assistant to the prefect.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School could only sit in the seat next to Zhou's mother.

The rest of the people were seated according to their rank.

The last two fifth-tier warrior beast tamers sat furthest away, a man and a woman, but they didn't look like a couple; they were most likely parents of older students.

The rest were all fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers. Zhou Heng only glanced at them briefly and then paid no more attention.

Then, the principal of No. 3 Middle School, who was in the main stands, asked Zhou's father to speak first: "Zhou Xuezheng, please say a few words to encourage us students."

Mr. Zhou nodded slightly, and began to speak eloquently: "It is an honor to receive the invitation from the principal of No. 3 Middle School to come to the No. 3 Middle School Grade Competition and witness the students' achievements. First of all, I wish you all good results, and secondly..."

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, it was Mrs. Zhou's turn.

Zhou's mother smiled gently, her gaze fixed on Zhou Heng: "I have nothing else to say, I'm here today specifically to cheer on my son! My dear son, you're the best!"

Then it was Assistant Fang's turn at the naval base.

After the three highest-ranking people finished speaking, the principal of No. 3 Middle School gave a speech.

After he finished, there were three vice principals.

Then, the parents of Liu Yao and the others, as long as they were fifth-tier warrior beast tamers, also said a few words.

Because today was the grade-level competition at No. 3 Middle School, they were all very restrained and finished their speeches in just over twenty minutes.

Only then did the formal competition begin.

The first to take the stage were the senior high school students.

Because the senior high school students have participated in many similar competitions, everyone is well aware of their abilities.

Therefore, it is not necessary for each of them to go on stage and compete.

Instead, they used the magic mirror bat, which had reached level four and was of superior gold quality, to create a huge purple light screen and project it in front of everyone, taking the ranking from the last senior year competition.

If you are not satisfied with your ranking, you can challenge someone higher to determine your ranking.
