Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Beast Doctor Academy

Seojun stood in front of the massive gates of the Beast Doctor Academy, watching as several people rushed inside with their bags. He took a deep breath and walked toward the entrance. A guard stepped forward and blocked his path."Name?" the guard asked, holding a clipboard.

"Han Seojun," Seojun replied calmly.

The guard scanned the list for a moment, then nodded and stepped aside, letting Seojun through.

As Seojun entered the academy grounds, he couldn't help but admire how enormous it was. The place was vast, with wide ground-level stairs leading toward the main building.

The building itself was enormous, with a majestic symbol etched into the center—a powerful combination of a wolf, a dragon and a bear intertwined, representing the beasts that this academy specialized in. The intricate details of the symbol shimmered in the sunlight, giving off an aura of strength and authority.

Walking through the open entrance of the building, Seojun was immediately greeted by a grand lobby. It was so large it felt more like a castle than a school. The ceiling was high, with chandeliers hanging down, and the floor gleamed with polished stone. There were banners hanging along the walls, each with symbols of various beasts.

Ahead of him, a long line of people waited for registration, so he quietly joined the line. He glanced around, taking in the impressive surroundings.

"Wow! This place is so huge!" a voice suddenly exclaimed behind him.

Seojun turned and saw a young man standing there, his face full of excitement. The guy had bright eyes and an energetic aura.

Noticing Seojun looking at him, the young man smiled widely and extended his hand.

"Hey there! I'm Andrew! What yours?"

he said excitedly, practically bouncing in place. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seojun gave a nod. "Seojun," he introduced himself, keeping it brief.

Minho looked around, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Isn't this place amazing? I've been dreaming about this ever since I awakened! I just turned 18, and I awakened last week I'm a E-Rank tamer best birthday ever! I can't wait for the entrance exam i wonder what kind of exam it is,"

As Seojun stood in line, Andrew continued chatting non-stop. The person assisting them kept scolding Andrew for talking too much, but he just smiled and shrugged it off.

Finally, it was Seojun's turn. He approached the desk, and the assistant, wearing a neat uniform, glanced at him.

"What's your name?" they asked.

"Han Seojun," he replied.

The assistant checked the list, nodded, and handed him a small number tag. "This is your identification from now on, not your name. Don't lose it," the assistant said sternly. Seojun looked at the number before attaching it to his shirt.

"Now, step into the Magic circle," the assistant instructed, pointing to a circle of light nearby.

Seojun stepped in, and within seconds, a bright light surrounded him, and he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he found himself standing at the side of a huge, wide-open space. In the middle was a massive area, and at the front was a large stage. Other people were scattered around, waiting or watching, just like him. The space felt overwhelming, but Seojun remained calm, observing everything quietly.

As Seojun waited in the spacious area, he noticed Andrew looking around frantically, searching for something. When Andrew finally spotted Seojun, he sprinted over to him.

"I kept looking for you!" Andrew exclaimed, his eyes wide with excitement. "Dang, look at all these people! There are so many! Anyway, did you know, Seojun?"

"What?" Seojun replied, raising an eyebrow.

"One of the top rankers is a judge for the exam! I don't know if it's true, but this is amazing!" Andrew said, practically bouncing on his feet. "I hope it's Ms. Alexa or Ms. Ji-eun! And also, I heard that the first beast master is visiting too!"

Seojun felt a mix of curiosity and nervousness. "The first beast master?" he asked, intrigued. Andrew nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah! Can you imagine? It's such a big deal! I can't wait for the exam to start!"

As Seojun stood there, his system spoke. [I have seen that news, Host. The first beast master from the US arrived here yesterday.]

"Hmmm"

After a while of waiting, a loud horn sounded, echoing through the large space. The noise instantly quieted the crowd. Everyone turned their attention to the stage.

A tall figure stepped forward, standing confidently behind the microphone. The person smiled and began to speak.

"Welcome, everyone, To the Beast Doctor Academy entrance exam! We are thrilled to have you here. You are about to embark on a journey that will test your skills and determination."

Seojun listened carefully, He could feel the energy in the room.

The speaker smiled and said, "Before we start, I want to introduce someone very important. He is the one who manages and started the Beast Doctor Academy. Please welcome Mr. Gideon Hastings, the top 8 ranker of Korea!"

As Mr. Gideon walked onto the stage, the crowd buzzed with excitement. He looked more like a dragon than a human. His dark scales shone under the lights, making him look majestic and powerful. People in the crowd murmured to each other.

"Wow, he looks incredible! Is that really him?" one student whispered.

"he's the first beastman in the world! He's so tall!" another voice said.

"This is my first time seeing a beastman! I didn't think they'd look like that!" someone exclaimed.

Andrew, standing beside Seojun, was bouncing with energy. "It's Mr. Gideon! I can't believe it!" he shouted, shaking Seojun with his excitement. "He only showed up in the tournament!"

Seojun remained quiet, observing the scene. He felt the energy in the room but kept his thoughts to himself.

"Look at those scales! He must be so strong!" another student said in awe.

"Waah! Why do i find him handsome?!"

The cheering grew louder as Mr. Gideon raised his hand to quiet the crowd. His deep voice filled the hall.

"Thank you, everyone! It's an honor to see so many future beast doctors here today. So before I start i know some of you had a lot of questions,"
