Chapter 1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Central Continent, Western Mountain Forest.

Halfway up the mountain, a white Academy building made of marble emerged from the dense forest. Between the towers, there was a long bridge, and at the top of the towers, there was a floating crystal.

In a daze, Charles raised his head from the table and looked around in confusion.

This was a place similar to a medieval church lecture hall. On the wooden sign at the front desk, there were a few lines of ancient calligraphy in gold: At the Grinwood Beastmaster Academy.

The simple composite wood desk had now become an elegant, heavy black oak table.

He had only taken a nap in the University class. How did he suddenly come to this place?

“Si si si …”

Charles felt a sharp pain in his head without warning.

At the same time, many non-existent memory fragments flashed in his mind, and the massive amount of information swelled his head.

A few seconds later, Charles put down his hand covering his head. The shock in his eyes couldn’t be any greater.

He had transmigrated!

The development of this world was no different from his original world. The only difference was that this was a world where humans and strange beasts coexisted.

Ultra Beasts possessed great power. This power could be their tenacity, sharp fangs, or supernatural abilities, such as the ability to control wind, fire, and lightning.

Moreover, if the exotic beasts met the right conditions, they could continue to evolve. In comparison, humans were weak.

In ancient times, the demonic beasts that had escaped from the alternate dimension had slaughtered humans on many occasions.

That was, until the appearance of the Beastmasters.

Beastmasters had unique talents. With the cooperation of the Beastmasters, exotic beasts could grow faster than usual. A small portion of the exotic beasts in the alternate dimension was willing to sign contracts with these humans and become their subdued beasts, using their strength to fight against the demonic beasts that harmed humans while growing on their own.

Naturally, being a Beastmaster was a noble profession, but at the same time, it was also a rare one. Most people didn’t have good aptitudes and could only summon fragile subdued beasts or even couldn’t summon them at all. Powerful Beastmasters could be counted on a person’s fingers in the crowd.

To increase the number of Beastmasters, Beastmaster schools were set up worldwide. The Beastmaster schools in batches would summon almost all the youths of suitable age to select talented Beastmasters.

“Summon Familiar …”

Charles tried hard to recall. This familiar summoning seemed to have just ended last night.

Where’s my familiar?

Charles bent down, and sure enough, he saw the light blue creature in the shadow under the seat.

He remembered that this guy seemed to hate the sun and hot places. It was summer, so he might as well hide in the shadows and sleep the whole day.

Charles took off his coat, wrapped the little creature in it, and put it on the table.

The strange beast was awoken from its sweet dream and grunted in dissatisfaction.

It had a pair of bat-like wings on its back, and its body was covered with light blue scales. However, the scales were as thin as silk and not particularly hard. Charles didn’t know what kind of creature it was, and no one in the small village where the Academy was located knew it. He only thought that it was some mutant blue bird.

After all, in a world where Ultra Beasts roamed, a mutation was not something new.

It was a cute little creature, but Charles couldn’t be happy looking at it.

After summoning his familiar last night, the familiar’s attack power was tested, and its Rating.

The others had summoned all kinds of beasts, some of which could spit fire, some of which could release lightning, and some could throw rocks. However, the little creature could only spit out snowflakes and ice crystals.

Because its attack power was too weak, it was rated C Class.

It was impossible to count on a familiar of this level to fight. At most, he could rely on his wings and agile movements to be a support-type scout.

As for Charles, he had no fate with becoming a combat-type Beastmaster. He could only help from the side. Perhaps he could even chill his teammates’ drinks?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Suddenly!

A strange sound rang out in Charles ‘mind!

[Ding! [Congratulations, host, for binding yourself to the liver King’s self-discipline system!]

As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious system panel appeared in front of Charles. This panel had no physical form, and it seemed that only he could see it.

“This system is specially designed for Beastmasters. As long as the host and your subdued beast persevere in being self-disciplined every day and complete the system’s missions, you’ll be able to buy the items you need from the system store and have a chance of winning a lucky draw!”

Following the system’s electronic voice, a huge shopping mall opened in front of Charles. There was a dazzling array of goods inside, and it was unknown how many rows there were.

However, most of these items were gray. It seemed that they could only be unlocked after completing some automated tasks.

The only item lit up was the [growth potion] in the first column, which cost one autonomous point. The next item was the [evolution stone], which cost two autonomous points. However, it was still in an unlocked state.

Charles reached out and closed the system store.

Immediately after, a system quest window popped up.

A new mission appeared on the mission panel.

[Newbie mission: have you seen Grinwood at 4 am? [Host, please wake up at four tomorrow and bring your familiar for a morning run!]

[Mission requirement: run five laps around the Academy, no breaks in between!]

[Mission reward: five points of self-discipline.]

Charles touched his chin thoughtfully when he saw the mission issued by the system.

As long as he was self-disciplined and did his tasks well, he would be able to receive a system reward.

He knew about this growth potion. It could increase the growth rate of a familiar.

If a familiar that was completely identical in every aspect were to fight, the one with the higher growth rate would be able to crush the other.

Therefore, the growth potion was in high demand in the outside world. The price had already been raised to thousands or even tens of thousands of Alliance dollars per bottle.

He didn’t expect that he would be able to gain self-discipline.

Thinking of this, Charles’s original depression was swept away!

The first item in the system store was already valuable. The following items were all costly.

So what if his exotic beast’s attack power was weak?

As long as he could continuously use the precious numinous treasures in the system store to strengthen it, even a C-grade familiar could become a special combat force!

Charles was delighted and eager to try.

Unfortunately, the current task was to wake up tomorrow. He couldn’t complete it now, so he could only put it on hold.

After he understood the system, he was still in a daze.

Charles was about to close the system interface.

Unexpectedly, his hand swiped, and another page suddenly opened.

In the middle of the page was a big button with the words ‘automatic rating button’.

Charles was stunned. He didn’t expect the system to have an automatic rating function.

With an attitude that it would be a waste not to try, Charles pressed the button.

[Evaluating host’s level, please wait …..]

What would his Rating be?

The original owner of this body seemed to be the eldest son of a large family. Even before he summoned his familiar, he had much nutritious food daily and a teacher who taught him one-on-one.

He was among the top few, even among the best in his family.

With this, he should at least be given an A rank.

Charles was full of confidence.

However, the system’s words made his face instantly drool.

[Rating completed!]

[Host name: Charles.]

[Rating: D!]

How was this possible?

The system’s rating system was too harsh!

[Evaluating familiar’s level, please wait …]

Charles couldn’t help but look at Bluebird with sympathy, sleeping under his clothes.

According to the system’s level of strictness, if he was D-grade, how high would this guy be?

D–?

After all, it was only a C-grade in the Academy.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the system’s voice sounded in Charles’s mind like a Thunderbolt.

“Familiar name: Juvenile Frost Dragon.”
