Words : 1571 Updated : Oct 13th, 2025

Training Ground: "Winner is Jeremy Night!" When the old man Derek Gibson made the announcement, everyone came back to their senses and looked towards Jeremy Night with surprise. Cheer! Don't know who, but someone among the students started clapping. Following that, everyone began to cheer for Jeremy Night. Jeremy Night has shown that with A-Grade Talent, you can defeat S-Grade as well. "Yes, Brother Jeremy has won!" Daniel Stone said with a laugh. He started cheering loudly as well. Jeremy is representing the STRIKER Department. He is also the Department Representative. So this win was added to the account of the STRIKER Department. "Our STRIKER Department is going to be famous," Betsy Lowe commented. But the happiness couldn't be hidden from her eyes. "Grandfather, you are right. It's a correct decision to join the STRIKER Department," Betsy said in her heart. She had worried about the resources and taunts from other students. Now that Jeremy Night has proven his strength, all of her worries were swept away. Ariel Burt and Jacob Henry looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Jeremy Night not only proved the students wrong, he has proven the Department Instructors wrong as well. Even Henry was having second thoughts about Jeremy's winning chances earlier. Now, he thinks he still underestimated Jeremy Night. Ariel Burt was no less surprised. She thought Jeremy's card of the lifeline beast absorption had taken everyone by surprise. Then, the use of the explosive steps at the right moment yielded the result. Swoosh! The Elemental Department Instructor appeared in front of May Lindsey. "Head, I'm taking her to the infirmary," the Instructor said. Old man Derek nodded his head. The Elemental Department Instructor then took her away. The Elemental Department students were having mixed emotions. Before the duel, they had made all kinds of shouts and remarks. Yet the result didn't end in their favor. Their Elemental Department Representative May Lindsey had lost miserably. These students didn't have the face to stay here any longer. They felt ashamed, so they quickly vacated the place. On the other hand, Victor Scott's heart was full of turbulence. He had made a good decision to come here to watch the duel. Because of it, he was able to learn about Jeremy's trump cards. The lifeline beast absorption ability and the movement technique had surprised him as well. He has decided to ask his family to do some research and analysis on today's duel. He would then know his winning chances. After taking a deep glance at Jeremy Night, he turned around to walk away. At the same time, Jeremy Night felt the deep gaze of Victor Scott, who is another S-Grade Talent. To be honest, he was wary of Victor Scott, who could use poison. The poison is something that can harm the target from afar. Jeremy has made up his mind to do some research about how to protect oneself from a Beast Tamer who can use poison. When Victor Scott left, the Control Department Instructor and their Department students left along with him. Everyone had mixed reactions. No one spoke about Victor Scott's challenge against Jeremy Night. May Lindsey's defeat was a huge blow to them. No one was willing to offend Victor Scott unnecessarily. Shortly afterwards, The remaining Department Instructors left with their students as well. In the blink of an eye, only Jeremy and the people related to him were left. Swoosh! Old man Derek landed in front of Jeremy Night. He looked at him from head to toe. "Kid, I'm satisfied with your duel and win. Keep practicing like that; even the senior students won't be your match," Old man Derek said with a smile. "Thank you for your appreciation," Jeremy replied with a smile. But in his heart, he started worrying about that. He knew defeating an S-Grade Talent would have consequences. He didn't know when the next trouble was going to come. Swoosh! Instructor Jacob, Ariel Burt, Betsy Lowe, and Daniel Stone arrived as well. "Jeremy, you have done a great job," Jacob said with a blooming smile on his face. As a STRIKER Department Instructor, he was on cloud nine. Hereafter, the STRIKER Department was going to be famous. As an Instructor, he would get famous as well. "Brother Jeremy, you have kept your word," Daniel Stone gave a thumbs up. "If you were this strong, you should have told us earlier," Betsy Lowe complained. Jeremy Night didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even he was surprised when his unknown egg lifeline beast started to absorb the energy during the battle. "I'm not only strong. May Lindsey is strong as well. It's just that I was able to catch her off-guard," Jeremy said in a calm tone. To be honest, he was impressed by Snow Owl's snow-wind tornado attack. It could harm a Tier-3 Beast Tamer or corrupted beasts. "I thought you were only good at katana sword skills. But you are good at strategy as well," Ariel Burt complimented. "I should thank Instructor Ariel for arranging this ground. If it had been anywhere with less space, it would have been impossible for me to escape from the Snow Owl lifeline beast," he said to her. "You should thank Head Derek for that. Initially, we thought the ground was favorable to May Lindsey. But you defeated her in the end," Ariel Burt said. Hearing that, Jeremy turned toward the old man to thank him, but he waved his hand. "Don't thank me too early. The real challenge for you is yet to come. Be prepared for that. Now, I'm leaving." After saying that, he nodded to us before leaving. "I'm going back to my room to rest," Jeremy said. Hearing that, others agreed and parted ways from there. ... Dean's Office: "This kid is hiding his ability," Dean Carolyn muttered to herself. She saw how the 20ft snow-wind tornado was broken by Jeremy Night's lifeline beast ability. Later, Jeremy's explosive steps movement technique was the reason for his win. "Right now, the Lindsey Family must be fuming," she thought. When it comes to the Scott Family, she didn't know if the Scott Family told Victor Scott to fight against Jeremy Night or not. She knew that Victor Scott had one advantage over May Lindsey: he could use poison. She was interested in this matchup as well if it happens. She wanted to see how Jeremy Night would fight against him. ... Meanwhile, The Attack Department Representative Romeo Barrett was dumbstruck. Suddenly, he felt his defeat was not so bad. Even the S-Grade Talent lost the duel against Jeremy Night. Hereafter, people would not notice him; rather, they would turn against May Lindsey. Even the Attack Department students decided not to trouble the STRIKER Department people anymore. By this win, Jeremy Night has basically registered himself as undefeated. Hereafter, no one would go against Jeremy Night in the first-year area. People have already started to ignore Victor Scott. Before, everyone had ranked May Lindsey above Victor Scott, so her defeat had a great impact. Many students don't think Victor Scott can turn around the events. It didn't take long before the news reached the whole campus. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Year Students were all shocked to the core. The news felt unbelievable to them. It took time for them to understand the whole situation. When they figured it out, they were even more shocked. Jeremy Night was able to defeat not only May Lindsey but her lifeline beast all alone. Jeremy Night didn't summon his lifeline beast at all. It was a sign of a STRIKER. Before, everyone thought Jeremy could make being a STRIKER a better career option. Now they have realized Jeremy Night was actually starting to fight like a STRIKER. All the senior students, including their department instructors, felt that the rise of the STRIKER Department was unstoppable. From next year onwards, they might get to see the STRIKER Department recruiting talents properly. ... Lindsey Family: The Family Head, the main elders, and other family members were in a state of disbelief and shock. Their Family Head's daughter May Lindsey had lost the duel. The news came as earth-shattering to them. No one was making any noise. Because the Family Head and the main elders had watched the live stream, they knew how May Lindsey was defeated. There was no deceit or sneak attack. May Lindsey lost because of a strong opponent. They had seen how Jeremy Night used his lifeline beast ability to destroy the tornado, then used his movement technique to catch her off guard. The Family Head and the main elders were convinced. They couldn't blame Jeremy Night for that. Dean Carolyn had allowed them to watch the live stream of the duel for this exact reason as well. She didn't want them to target Jeremy Night for May Lindsey's defeat. Though May Lindsey's defeat has disappointed everyone, they could tell she had done her best. They knew she had gone to the wilderness to kill a Tier-3 corrupted beast before the duel. They knew it was one of Jeremy Night's conditions, so they were really helpless. They couldn't vent their anger on anyone.
