The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

468 First House Competition of Year



It has been a week since the new students joined the university. Everything from their hostels to houses has been decided.

Now was the chance for them to show their might and help their house gain points. It was the first day of the year for the newcomers.

It was a little different; the ones who passed the exam didn't perform well. This was the stage for the ones who had directly entered the university.

They all had their own fame and were regarded highly by everyone. A crowd could be seen gathered in the dark area.

Today was something that was very important for the house captains. A good position in this competition could help them gain a lead in points from the start.

The winning House would get three points, the one in second would get two, and the third would get only one point. There were no points for the House at the fourth point.

The crowd was divided into four houses; each side had its own flag at the front. Leo House had the flag of a raging lion with golden eyes.

The students supporting them have brought boards to cheer for their House. Some have appeared wearing the jersey of their team.

The same could be said for the other houses. Along with some neutral teachers, all teachers were also divided into four houses. They also guided the students in their House and planned what to do.

Every student that reached this university was already very talented and was divided equally among the four houses. This created a balance, so matches were mostly nail-biting.

Each House selected a team of five students, representing them with three extras. The students had to fight each other in 1v1 battles until no opponent was left.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, students and teachers. We have all gathered here to witness the first inter-house competition of the year." Siad, the commentator, addressed the crowd.

"This is a great chance for each House to get a lead from the start. Are you excited?" He asked. The crowd cheered; this was a house competition, and everyone present was involved in it.

"First, we will decide which house will face another house." A giant 3–4 hologram appeared before everyone. Inside was a picker wheel with the names of four houses written on it.

"Let's see which house will compete against whom." 

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Start"

The wheel started spinning. It stopped suddenly.

Two colored lights glowed on the wheel. One was red, while the other was green. Leo and Matsya's (fish) house had green lights, while Naga and Garuda's (eagles) had red lights.

"Woah, Naga and Garuda rival again. This will be exciting, while Leo will face Matsya House."

The crowd cheered, especially those from the Naga Clan and the Garuda Clan. The green and red flags started waving, and the booing started.

It was enough for even a newcomer to guess the relationship between these two houses. This made others even more excited for what was about to come.

"Now, both teams are invited to come to the Battle Ring. The battle of Naga and Garuda House will be held first," announced the commentator.

Both teams entered the battle one after another. On one side was a team, with each member having an eagle tattoo, while facing them were students, each with a serpent tattoo.

Five of the eight participants were standing at the front, while three were at the back. Leading Nage House was a girl with green eyes and long black hair.

The leader of Garuda House was a boy with brown hair and red eyes. They were both new students, and still a spark could be seen between them.

A red-skull-masked boy could be seen among the extras of the Naga House, which surprised everyone.

While they had heard of the fame of the Red Skull, it looked farfetched and overhyped. Most still put their trust in the students who were invited to the university through admission letters.

"Man, while I trust my house, Matsya and Garuda House have been lucky to get the most talented students," said one from Naga House.

"You are right; they will most probably win. Don't worry, we will smash them on the next one," replied the one next to him.

A boy could be seen with serpent-like eyes and green hair. He had pale skin. A green badge could be seen on his uniform, with 'House Captain' written on white.

He played with his thin hands constantly without any expressions on his face and asked the girl next to him, "How many chances do you see of us winning this one?"

"I believe there is less than a ten percent chance," replied the white-haired girl with yellow eyes.

His lips suddenly curled up into a cold smirk. "You are not wrong. It might have been so, but we have a Trump card."

A sudden, surprised expression appeared on the face of the girl, and she was taken aback. The guy next to her was never wrong; he was one of the academy's most intelligent and calculative guys.

With just his brain, he had helped them win many competitions. If he had said so, then there was a chance.

"Is it true?" Asked the woman sitting on the other side of the boy; she was wearing a luxurious black dress with golden patterns. A black-colored serpent beast could be seen encircling her with green eyes.

A chill ran through the back of the boy when he heard her. The lady sitting beside him with short hair and sunglasses on her face was one of the most scary people he had ever met.

He replied, "Mam, don't worry; we will surely secure second place even if we cannot win."

"Oh, that's my boy," she said as she patted his head. "I was not wrong to put my trust in you." Her lips, painted black cured up, matching the mole below it.

The boy was helpless; he could not do anything about her. She was Profesor Sanya Shukla, a lady from the well-known Shukla Clan.

They were the richest clan, one of the top five clans in the capital city. This lady was a well-known beast cultivator and alchemist.

She also had a reputation for crushing anyone who tried to talk back to her. No one who challenged her ultimate authority had been able to live happily.

It was to the point that her own house members were scared of her. Even the house captain was not spared by her.

There were rumors about how she tested potions on those who tried to defy her; some even said that she was also involved in human experiments.
