After some time, the Beast Tamers successfully drove out the remaining beasts. One by one, they turned around to return to the tent.
Seeing this, Jeremy decided to leave. He didn't want to meet unfamiliar people. He was still new to City A and wanted to take time to figure things out before doing anything.
He started walking back on the same route.
About 30 minutes later, he returned to the small building. Just as he thought, there was no news from Captain Gordon. He received a call; Jeremy wasn't surprised by the sudden call from Gordon.
He knew his contact information had been given to the Captain by the staff. Jeremy then answered the call to listen.
After hearing that the Patrol Teams on all sides of the City Wall border had defended the city, he sighed inwardly. Captain Gordon asked him to return as well.
He also wanted him to stay away from the battle, but Captain Gordon didn't know that he had already killed several corrupted beasts.
After ending the call, he began to reflect. He had already seen so many things on day one. There were six more days to go, and he didn't know how it would go.
Suddenly, his stomach made a sound.
Then he went to the kitchen to eat some fruit.
Time passed.
When it was nighttime, Captain Gordon returned with some of his teammates and introduced them to Jeremy Night.
But not all of them were interested. Some showed interest in getting to know the talents of Central University 14, while others didn't pay much attention.
Because his mission was only for seven days, others didn't show much eagerness to know him.
After speaking to all of them, Jeremy decided to stay inside the room. Right now, he doesn't have any night shift duty to patrol.
Captain Gordon told him that he would assign another task tomorrow. After entering the room, he looked at the space. It was a small room, even less spacious than the dorm building.
Days went by.
The Beast Taming Departments were functioning as usual. But Jeremy Night's absence was quickly noticed by people, especially those from the Medicine and Machinery Departments.
Some females from the Medicine Department went to the top floor to check. Seeing that the class door was locked, they understood that something was going on.
Even the Striker Department's instructor was not seen. It didn't take much time for the Medicine Department to learn about this news.
Slowly, the news started to spread to others as well.
Inside the Elemental Department, when Petra heard this, she was dumbfounded. She thought Jeremy Night must be practicing hard; that was his character.
Now the news was coming that he was not seen on campus. She couldn't help but become curious. She texted Levy Glass to get an answer from him.
When she got his reply, she was stunned. Even Levy Glass was not aware of this; he had heard from others' conversations as well.
The news reached the ears of May Lindsey. All she did was use personal connections to find out more.
After knowing that the Striker Department Representative was fighting outside the city wall, she was surprised. Because no one takes a week-long mission in their first year, especially if they are just starting in their university student role.
A quick gleam flashed in her eyes. To be honest, while all of others praised her, her own family was disappointed with the Department Rankings Performance.
She had thought no one could match her performance, let alone surpass her. She had considered Victor Scott her only rival.
But the outcome changed everything. She rated Jeremy Night higher after his Tier-3 Corrupted Beast kill. That's why this piece of news caught her attention more.
"If this news gets leaked, then Jeremy Night will come under the limelight once more," she thought.
At this moment, she made a firm decision. She stood up and went to the Task Hall. As a kid from a rich family, she didn't have to rely on tasks to earn resources. But she didn't want others to steal her spotlight.
As an S-Grader, she thought she should be the one to lead others.
