Chapter 162: Teamwork!

“Moss, if this continues, even if we make prior preparations, it will be impossible for us to fight more beasts and accumulate different battle experiences,” Mill said frowningly.

After two days of hard work, the trio had battled every beast on the fourth floor. They were relatively slow compared to students like A-066 and A-110.

“It’s apparent I can’t keep up with you two!” Alan was concerned as he reminded his two teammates, “A-110 and A-066 are already on the second floor!”

Moss also realized this problem. The trio had differing skill levels and could not keep up with each other. At this rate, it would be impossible for them to execute their entire strategy.

Moreover, facing a terrifying Magical Beast like the Manic Giant Ape alone on the first floor would be challenging. More dangers would occur that way.

Moss fell into deep thought. After fifteen minutes, his eyes glinted, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. His warm smile made one feel a sense of trust and comfort.

Moss said, “I think we can fight as a team!”

“As a team? Didn’t Instructor Kevin say students should accumulate experience fighting Magical Beasts themselves?” Alan asked.

“He didn’t exactly say that. He only said we aren’t allowed to kill the Magical Beast,” Moss said smilingly.

Mill’s eyebrows relaxed as she said with a sweet and happy smile, “That’s right! The beasts appear in groups, so why can’t we form a team to fight them?”

“Alan, go get Baylon and Bass. Let’s see if they are willing to join us. We must hurry,” Moss said as he looked at his watch.

Moss explained his intentions when Baylon and Bass arrived. However, Bass raised a concern, “Won’t this affect our experience gains? The experience we get will split between the five of us if we fight them as a team.”

Moss heard Bass’s worry and smiled. ”

Moss heard this and smiled. “Even if we don’t gain as much experience for our levels, if we fight in a team, we still get a lot of battle experience. Everyone in a team battle is a participant and a learner, so everyone can still accumulate battle experience and learn through fighting.”

The Guardians repeatedly nodded when they heard their captain’s explanation. They all laughed happily.

…

Two days later, after making adequate adjustments, the Guardians had completed their training against all Magical Beasts.

But when they wanted to pick a beast to fight against, they discovered that they only gained minimal level experience.

“I know everyone felt it. I’m afraid the meager experience we gain will not be of much significance even if we keep farming,” Moss said as he spread his hands.

“If that’s the case, we should rest for now. Whoever doesn’t want to rest can go for their beast-taming lessons beforehand,” Mill suggested as she stretched.

The team members expressed their agreement one after another. Then they left each other to their own devices.

“What are your plans, Moss?” Mill asked smilingly.

“Oh, I just want to sit here for a while before checking out the training grounds where we learn how to tame beasts,” Moss replied.

“So, can I sit with you?” Mill asked timidly, her face slightly blushing.

Moss simply smiled and nodded.

Mill’s smile was sweet. She peeked at Moss from time to time as her heart palpitated.

Moss pondered deeply, but it differed entirely from what Mill was thinking.

The Guardians had made much progress after fighting Magical Beasts during the past few days, especially after adjusting their strategy. Their battle experience and levels constantly increased.

During the entire process, Moss was most surprised with his Holy Belief’s increased values. He discovered he could increase the Holy Belief’s value by activating his knight’s spirit.

Holy Belief’s activated power could then instantly increase his and his teammates’ battle awareness, thus creating even stronger combos. Moreover, this power seemed to be related to Moss’s spiritual power.

Moss felt that his spiritual power had transmitted those effects to his teammates. The more potent his spiritual power, the better the transmission.

In addition, he also verified that constantly tempering his knight’s spirit and increasing his Holy Belief’s value would improve his spiritual power by leaps and bounds.

When the Guardians previously went to farm experience against the beasts, Moss felt the increase in his spiritual power by comparing it to past fights. He thought it might be the true essence of his Holy Belief, knight’s spirit, and spiritual power.

Moss was still in his thoughts when the Unlimited Evolution System sounded in his mind, “Your Holy Belief value has reached 45/100. You must unlock a mount if you want to evolve again.”

“A mount?!” Moss was shocked.

‘I?heard about mounts from Hank, but where would I find one?’

Moss was excited when he thought about how handsome he would look as a knight riding a horse.

…

Beast-taming lessons began the following day. Many regretted not completing their beast training, but the instructors mentioned that the students could juggle their beast taming lessons and beast training as they saw fit.

However, there was a fixed time for the beast-taming demonstrations, and the instructors would not repeat their lessons if the students missed them. Beast taming was tricky to learn, and it was most students’ first time doing such a thing.

Before the beast-taming lessons began, the students had to face life-threatening dangers while trying to fight Magical Beasts because there was a rule that they could not kill the beasts.

Now, the instructors required the students to tame beasts. The students had to try and tame one no matter how hard it was. However, the students would get lower scores the more they struggled.

Control-type classes such as beastmasters and beast exorcists had an advantage over other classes. Still, they could only tame a beast and could not reach a deeper level of spiritual interaction with them.

…

After a morning of explanations and demonstrations, it was time for the students to train independently.

Before dismissing the students, Red Spider reminded them, “You can train your beast-taming skills on the first to eight floors. The beasts will get increasingly tougher to tame the further you go. The eighth floor will consist of the easier beasts, while the first floor will be the most difficult.

“Still, it doesn’t mean a beast will be harder to tame if it’s of a higher level. It all depends on your spiritual power! Note that you will score higher in the beast-taming test than in beast training.”

Five minutes later, Red Spider dismissed the students, and they began to train independently.

Like before, the Guardians scoured each floor before deciding which beast they would tame. When they arrived on the third floor to check on the Two-headed Magic Eagle, they saw Team A-066 also observing the beast.

Team A-066 noticed the Guardians coming over. Then A-069, a holy beastmaster, stood before the Guardians and tilted his head as he said disdainfully, “Can’t you see that we came here first? Why are you here? Hurry back to the eighth floor and pick a cute pet for yourselves instead.”

After that, several members of Team A-066 laughed alongside A-069.

Alan puffed up his chest with his head held high and glared at A-069. “What makes you think you own this beast? Why can’t we use it?”

“I’ll kick your a*s, little brat. Don’t be so f*cking shameless,” A-069 sneered as he patted Alan’s face a few times.

Alan was outraged and slapped A-069’s hand away. Then Alan pointed angrily and threatened, “Try that again, assh*le!”

“Here you go,” A-069 patted Alan’s face again.

Allen punched A-069, and the two teams broke into a fight.
