Inside the spacious office.
Claudia looked at the black-haired girl in front of her with a complicated expression.
To be honest, she usually didn’t care about small things like students skipping class.
She just didn’t expect soone to skip class on the first day of school.
Even more unexpected, it was Qiao Sang, the girl who had crushed everyone in the entrance assessnt and left a deep impression on her.
“Why did you skip class?” Claudia asked.
After watching that loop video and then being called to the office by the horoom teacher, Qiao Sang had already figured everything out.
She sighed inwardly and explained the whole situation about taking leave to attend Dr. Dosharila’s class.
Claudia listened patiently and then asked, “So you went to Dr. Dosharila’s class to learn about the next stage of your beast’s evolution?”
Qiao Sang humd in response.
Claudia wasn’t particularly surprised by that answer.
Students who made it into Yulianton University’s Beast Taming Departnt always had a strong sense of purpose.
Claudia continued, “Is it a high-level beast?”
“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded.
“I understand how important evolution is to a beast tar.”
Claudia said earnestly, “But you’ve just entered the university. There’ll be many chances to attend Dr. Dosharila’s classes later. Besides, evolving a high-level beast into a General-level beast isn’t sothing simple…”
She paused mid-sentence.
Because she rembered, Qiao Sang already had two General-level beasts…
Claudia continued, “If you’re interested in Dr. Dosharila’s lectures, and if there’s a schedule that doesn’t conflict with your class, I’ll notify you.”
Whoa, what a nice person… Qiao Sang was a little touched.
She’d thought she was going to get scolded, but the horoom teacher was actually so understanding…
Qiao Sang straightened her posture and said, “No need. Dr. Dosharila is my ntor now. If I have any questions, I’ll go directly to her. Sothing like today won’t happen again.”
Claudia was stunned.
“You’re saying Dr. Dosharila is your ntor now? What do you an?”
Huh? Was that hard to understand? Qiao Sang explained, “It just ans Dr. Dosharila is now my academic advisor.”
Claudia’s expression changed instantly and said, “Dr. Dosharila specializes in research on pet beasts’ emotional energy. How can you take her as your ntor!”
Qiao Sang was confused.
“Is there a problem?”
There was a big problem!
In the Beast Taming Departnt, combat should be the priority. Even if you choose a ntor, it should be soone renowned for battle strategy. How could she choose a research-oriented scholar?
During undergrad, students at Yulianton University are only allowed to pick one ntor. If they want to learn from others, they must spend points. That’s why everyone picks soone closely aligned with their major.
If it were soone else in the Beast Taming Departnt, fine. But Qiao Sang had crushed the entrance test solo. She obviously had monstrous talent in beast taming.
Soone like her could’ve even had the dean of the Beast Taming College as her ntor, and it wouldn’t have been too much!
Yet now, she’d chosen a ntor who specialized in emotional energy research?
What a waste of talent!
Claudia completely forgot about the skipping class issue, her head was filled with Qiao Sang’s ntor decision.
She took a deep breath and said tactfully: “You’re in the Beast Taming Departnt. You should have been more cautious when choosing a ntor.”
Qiao Sang instantly understood the teacher’s thinking and said seriously: “But I’m just an exchange student. I’ll only be here for one sester. Right now, evolving my Ice Xilu is the most important thing to .”
Claudia looked at her in silence, eyes like soone who had finally found their dream person, only to realize too late that they were already married.
Indeed, if Qiao Sang weren’t an exchange student, those prominent figures in the Beast Taming College would’ve fought over her the mont the assessnt ended, there’s no way Dr. Dosharila would’ve had a chance…
With that thought, Claudia lost interest in continuing the conversation. She waved her hand to signal Qiao Sang could leave.

The horoom teacher is such a good person… Qiao Sang thought, walking toward the classroom while holding Yabao.
When she passed by Class 2’s hallway of the Beast Taming Departnt, she suddenly rembered sothing and headed there.
“Is Harold Lovecraft here?” Qiao Sang asked.
The entire class fell silent for a mont.
Everyone looked at her with amused or teasing eyes, no longer like they were facing a terrifying boss.
“He had a stomach ache this afternoon and went back to the dorm.” Said a blonde girl near the door.
Qiao Sang scanned the lecture hall, said nothing, and turned to leave.
A few seconds later, a boy with short black curly hair crawled out from under a desk in the corner.
“Scared the hell out of .” Harold sighed in relief, then turned to the blonde girl by the door.
“Thanks.”
Just then, the figure who had just walked away reappeared at the doorway.
“So you are here.” Qiao Sang said with a half-smile.
Harold froze, his smile more painful than crying.
All of Class 2 looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

In the hallway.
“I really didn’t know that would happen!” Harold said sincerely, almost swearing an oath.
“You have to believe ! It was definitely the Extension Stone’s fault!”
“I’ve just never used the Extension Stone to prolong the mimic ti of the Mimic Doll before, so I had no idea it would loop!”
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to help from the beginning!”
“Extension Stones are expensive! And getting you caught skipping class by the teacher doesn’t benefit at all!”
Harold was feeling very wronged.
He’d ant well and just wanted to help. Now he lost both the stone and the favor, and might get dragged into trouble in the future.
While Harold’s heart was still hanging, waiting for “judgnt,” Qiao Sang finally spoke: “I know.”
Harold froze.
Qiao Sang continued: “I called you out just to say, don’t worry about it. This didn’t affect at all.”
Back then, it was obvious he was reluctant to part with the Extension Stone. She didn’t believe he’d do sothing so self-sabotaging on purpose.
Harold stared at the black-haired girl in front of him, moved and overwheld, quickly hiding his emotions. He whispered, “Thank you.”
“But the favor’s gone.” Qiao Sang added.
Harold: …

11 p.m.
Inside the villa.
Qiao Sang was half-leaning against the headboard, holding her phone, looking at the list of opponents, and thinking about who to challenge tomorrow.
Although as long as you had points and approval, you could initiate a battle, the timing still depended on the challenged party.
“Lu?”
Suddenly, Lubao called out, asking if emotional energy was needed for evolution?
Qiao Sang looked up, rembering Lubao had heard her conversation with Dr. Dosharila earlier.
She thought for a mont, then said honestly: “If you want to evolve, besides energy accumulation, you also need to experience despair during a sandstorm.”
“Lu?”
Lubao looked thoughtful, then asked if they could just live sowhere that had sandstorms.
Qiao Sang went silent.
“Lu.”
“Lu.”
Lubao grew serious when her master didn’t respond.
If they didn’t live sowhere with sandstorms, what if she suddenly felt despair in the future but there was no sandstorm nearby?
Qiao Sang: …
That kind of… made sense. Qiao Sang looked at Lubao with a complicated expression: “Do you think you’ll feel despair?”
“Lu.”
Lubao’s expression was solemn.
She would try her best.
Qiao Sang: …
Qiao Sang pinched her brow and said, “Living sowhere with sandstorms isn’t realistic. I’ll go find a pet that knows the sandstorm skill.”
