Duel Chamber: Jeremy entered the platform. Betsy was standing opposite him. Both of them were Tier-1 Beast Tamers, but he was 2 ranks above her. Even a small increase in rank has a huge effect on strength. Instructor Jacob and Daniel Stone were standing outside the platform, looking forward to seeing their fight, even though they knew the outcome. They wanted to find out the gap between Jeremy Night and Betsy. On the platform, Jeremy Night took out his katana and held it in his right hand. He knew about the talent of Betsy Lowe. Her fingernails were not ordinary; they were so sharp that they could pierce through the toughest metals. "Are you guys ready?" Jacob asked. Hearing that, both of them nodded their heads. The next second, Jacob activated the barrier. An invisible barrier began to cover the top of the fighting platform. Betsy Lowe's eyes flickered. She knew there was no chance she could win against Jeremy, especially if he decided to fight seriously. But at least she wanted to land a single hit on him. "Fight!" Jacob's voice sounded. Jeremy stood in the same spot, but his gaze fell on Betsy. Swoosh! Betsy Lowe rushed out to attack with her nails. She didn't have a movement technique; she was using her body strength to burst forth at full speed. She appeared in front of Jeremy Night within seconds. The next second, she raised her hand to attack like a beast's claw. She used her talent. Her nails suddenly became sharper, like a beast's claws. Jeremy's eyes flickered. For a second, he thought he was facing a beast in human skin. But it was clearly her talent. To think she was able to come up with a fighting stance genuinely surprised Jeremy. When her nails were inches away from poking into his flesh. Clang! He used the flat side of the katana blade to block them. A metallic noise sounded as she was pushed to retreat backward. This all happened within seconds. "Good thing he's here. We should do something to damage his reputation." "Why don't we invite our department representative?" "The Attack Department representative has sword weapon talent. He can easily crush Jeremy Night." The department students discussed among themselves. It didn't take long for the news to spread among the first-year students. Even though the departments had their own buildings, the news traveled fast, and they were able to know what was happening on their campus daily. So the presence of the STRIKER Department at the Joint Training Facility attracted a lot of eyes. ... Elemental Department: May Lindsey was surrounded by her female classmates. They were all talking about this matter. "May, you have S-Grade Talent. Then why are people talking about that loner? He has just body-type talent." "There are rumors going around that Jeremy Night is stronger than the 2 S-Graders. Don't you think we should do something about this?" May Lindsey was listening to her classmates' words and was getting a headache. She didn't like this kind of comparison. Earlier, she had been upset hearing these rumors. But she knew the difference between A-Grade and S-Grade talent. It's just that she was not showing off, whereas Jeremy Night was the representative of the STRIKER Department. The department had been getting a lot of attention since the beginning, and Jeremy Night's performance hadn't disappointed anyone. More importantly, her family had received warnings from the Heath and Knox families to not trouble Jeremy Night. So it was impossible for her to find fault with him regarding this matter. She could only sigh inside; others didn't know about the background story at all. "You guys can stop it. There will be a ranking competition next time, so we will know who is stronger," she said to them. "I knew it. You already had a plan in mind." "That's right; we can see in the next Ranking Competition." Her friends became convinced, and they finally stopped pestering her.
