STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Restaurant:

Quiet!

The atmosphere was quiet. They didn't know what to say. Betsy and Daniel Stone were experiencing a low mood. They had imagined graduating together after completing four years.

But Jeremy had shattered their dreams right now. Unfortunately, they couldn't even blame him because Jeremy Night's situation was as such.

Suddenly, Betsy Lowe thought of something before asking, "I can understand why you want to leave?"

"But how are you going to join the top 10 zones?" she added.

Daniel uttered, "I guess my brother wants to compete in the Best Beast Tamer competition."

Jeremy smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I have plans for that. It's just that I want you guys to prepare for the future."

"Since I'm leaving, you guys should think about your future as well. Are you going to stick around till the 4th year? Or find some organization to join?" he added.

"It depends on my strength. If I could reach Tier-5 Beast Tamer in the future, that would already be good for me. I can assist my grandfather in City B to safeguard the city," Betsy replied.

"Same with me. I'll stay in City A to support it," Daniel said with a smile.

The earlier gloominess had completely disappeared. They were now having a positive conversation.

"No matter what, we are part of the STRIKER Team. It will remain the same in the future," Jeremy said with a smile.

Betsy's eyes lit up. She said, "Now you are making some sense. It doesn't have to be inside the university. We can still be the STRIKER Department team outside the university as well."

"Ha... Ha... Ha..."

"My worries are gone completely right now," Daniel said with a laugh.

"It doesn't matter where I live in the future. If you guys need help, you can always contact me," Jeremy said to both of them.

Betsy and Daniel nodded their heads. Their moods had gotten better right now since Jeremy assured them that they could work together as a team in the future.

Their impression of Jeremy Night had become more favorable.

One hour later,

They returned to the university. Then they parted ways before returning to their dorm rooms.

While returning to the dorm room, Jeremy's heart was at ease. He felt glad that he had made the right decision by having this meeting.

He had revealed his future plans to them so that they could be better prepared. Jeremy had this feeling that they would continue to stay here until the final year.

Instructor Jacob and Elder Derek didn't have a clue about this meeting. If they learned about it, they would be shocked to the core.

...

10th zone - City A, Shadow Moon Organization.

Gisela Reyes had returned last night. Right now, she was at the organization's HQ. She was going to have an important meeting with the head, who was the founder of the organization.

Upon her arrival, she requested a meeting with the head, Neil, which was immediately granted to her.

About 10 minutes later,

She arrived at the head's office.

Creak!

After opening the door, she walked in. Old man Neil was sitting behind the desk. He was dressed in a white tuxedo.

He immediately asked the 10th Team Leader, Gisela, to take a seat.

Gisela sat in the chair opposite him.

"How was your meeting?"

"Did he sign the contract?" Neil asked.

Gisela smiled and took out her device to show the digital file of the contract.

Old man Neil received the device before starting to go through it. Soon, he found an unusual condition in it. After reading the condition, he was taken aback.

He asked, "Gisela, is there something wrong with the contract?"

Gisela smiled and said, "Head, everything is okay. It was the condition mentioned by the kid, Jeremy Night, to join our organization."

"What?" Neil uttered in surprise before looking at her.

He looked at her with a deep gaze.

"Are you sure?"

"What did you see in him?" he asked back-to-back questions.

"Head, Jeremy Night is a Tier-2 Beast Tamer. The information in the discarded profile was outdated. Then I found out the reason behind his condition."

"I think his lifeline beast is one with a high bloodline. That's why his information was not updated in his profile. This kid wants to keep it that way," Gisela said in a serious tone.

"Oh, did he tell you what kind of beast it is?" he asked.

Gisela said, "No, he clearly doesn't want anyone to speak about his lifeline beast."

A hint of interest appeared in Old man Neil's eyes. He hadn't met this kind of beast tamer before. Usually, the Beast Tamers rely on their lifeline beasts to gain status or power.

They usually show off their lifeline beasts.

But here, the kid was different. Old man Neil then continued to read the contract details. He then put the digital device on the table.

He asked, "Since you went there, did you collect his intel?"

"The head is right. I have the intel information as well." After saying that, she picked up the device on the table before accessing the intel file.

Then she gave it to him.

Old man Neil received the device before starting to go through the information.

A few minutes later,

He smiled and said, "Jeremy Night has a clear background. His father is the City Governor. So their family is related to the Human Alliance."

"Then as per the intel, this kid's talent is body-related talent. But he can fight across levels to kill corrupted beasts."

"Which clearly tells you that the lifeline beast's ability is helping him greatly. So your words were right. That kid's lifeline beast could have a high bloodline."

"If it's true, then the kid has the potential to surpass Tier-5 and above. Maybe he can become Team Leader one day," Old man Neil praised.

Gisela sighed in relief. She felt great that head Neil saw that kid's potential.

"Alright, since he wants his lifeline beast information to be confidential, then I'll keep it confidential," Neil added.

Then he thought of something before asking, "This kid seems to have offended quite a few people."

Hearing that, Gisela's expression turned serious.

While looking at the intel file at that time, she felt, apart from the Beast Taming families, that there were some other forces acting as well. But the intel didn't mention anything about it.
