STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Joint Training Facility:

Just as Romeo Barrett decided to check, he heard another commotion from the entrance. When he turned around, he saw the person who was coming: none other than his Department Instructor, Ted.

"Instructor Ted is here." His eyes flickered.

He immediately went to greet him, and the other Attack Department students went with him as well.

Ted Dawson smiled upon seeing Romeo Barrett and the others.

Just as he was going to speak, he saw a group of people coming toward them. The students vacated the corridor, and his gaze fell on the four people.

"Instructor Jacob," Ted said in a solemn tone.

Romeo was standing beside him, his gaze locked onto Jeremy Night. His eyes flashed with fighting intent. He couldn't wait to have his sword clash with him.

"Jeremy Night, you are here!"

"Our representative Romeo is going to challenge you!"

"We will see who is stronger!"

The students on the Attack Department side started speaking.

At the same time, Jeremy Night seemed to understand what was going on. So far, no one had challenged him, and he thought everyone had acknowledged his strength.

But the scenes before him told a different story. The faces of Betsy and Daniel Stone changed as well.

Instructor Jacob felt infuriated. He thought this whole drama was orchestrated.

"Instructor Ted, what's going on?"

"Is this setup planned by you?" Jacob asked in a solemn tone.

Hearing that, Ted Dawson furrowed his eyebrows. Even he was played by his own students. He sighed inwardly and collected his thoughts.

"Instructor Jacob, my department representative, is interested in fighting against your department representative."

"What do you think?" Ted asked.

Gasp!

A small exclamation occurred in the surroundings. The students who had gathered to watch the show were excited. The thing that they had been wanting to see was finally going to happen.

"This?" Jacob was taken aback.

He knew this was the motive behind it. But he still didn't expect Instructor Ted to speak about this matter as well.@@novelbin@@

"Jeremy," Jacob called out.

"Brother Jeremy," Daniel Stone uttered.

Betsy showed a complex look as well. They knew Jeremy was strong, but they had no idea how strong he actually was.

At the same time, Jeremy felt the piercing gazes on him, including the gaze of the Attack Department Instructor Ted. Everyone wanted to see through his strength.

"You are Jeremy Night, right?"

"Why don't you fight me?"

"Let's see who is actually stronger among the first-years," Romeo Barrett said with a smile.

His tone was full of mockery and challenge.

Instructor Jacob's eyes flickered. He didn't know why, but he thought Romeo Barrett was seeking death. Jeremy was someone who killed Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts.

So Romeo Barrett was not a real threat to him.

Betsy Lowe and Daniel Stone exchanged glances. They had heard of Jeremy's combat power from their Instructor Jacob, but they hadn't witnessed it themselves.

Yet still, the comments made by Romeo Barrett irked them.

"Brother Jeremy, you must teach this person a lesson. They have spent a huge effort to make this possible. They won't allow us to leave without your answer," Daniel Stone said.

He figured out what was going on here.

Hearing that, Jeremy was still silent. There was a reason why he wanted to be low-key right now. Dean Carolyn had sent an investigation team to a dangerous area.

If he started showing off his strength right now, the families of the victims would definitely raise questions. So he didn't want to be in the limelight at this moment.

"Instructor, we should leave this place," Jeremy said with a smile.

"What?" Romeo asked, startled.

His response caught everyone off guard. Even Instructor Jacob was taken aback, and Betsy Lowe was stunned. She thought Jeremy would definitely accept the challenge to increase the reputation of their department.

Daniel widened his eyes in surprise. He thought his brother Jeremy was not afraid of challenges, so why was he doing this?

"Are you scared?"

"If you are scared, then accept your defeat. Tell us that you are not the strongest among the first-year Beast Tamers," Romeo said.

His voice reached everyone's ears. The Attack Department students and others watching everything did not expect the outcome to be like this.

Everyone had thought Jeremy Night was cornered by them and would accept the challenge no matter what. But his response stunned everyone.

Jeremy smiled and replied, "Yes, I accept defeat. I'm not the strongest Beast Tamer among the First Years."

Instructor Jacob's eyes flashed with a complex glint.

He didn't know why Jeremy was doing this, but he decided to support him.

"You heard him, so don't block our path," Jacob said to Romeo.

Romeo was dumbfounded, but he nodded to him. The next second, everyone vacated the passage and allowed them to leave.

Instructor Ted Dawson was disappointed. He had thought Jeremy Night would accept their challenge as well, because he had seen his duels during the Beast Invasion.

Romeo was not a match for him. Then why? It didn't hurt to accept the challenge. Then he thought of something. His expression changed drastically.

"Does he think Romeo was not worth his efforts?" Ted Dawson asked in his heart.

He thought it quite possible, but he didn't say it openly.

It would affect the confidence of Romeo Barrett.

On the other hand, everyone was watching the STRIKER Department people leaving. From beginning to end, Jeremy Night was not worried about others.

He didn't care about people's opinions. Right now, his thoughts were on something else. He was hoping that the dangerous area investigation would come to an end quickly.

Betsy Lowe and Daniel Stone showed complex looks.

They didn't know why Jeremy Night didn't accept the challenge. Considering this was his personal decision, they didn't dare to ask.

Instructor Jacob felt the same way. He didn't want to ask Jeremy Night, but he was worried that this would damage the reputation of the STRIKER Department.

Sigh!

With a sigh, he continued walking toward their department building.

Meanwhile,

Ted Dawson turned towards the others and said, "Don't you guys think it was a clever idea? If Dean Carolyn learns about this, then you guys will face punishment."
