Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

In the trial tower, in the main hall.

Jamie and several other teachers looked seriously at Hale and Lucas, who were standing in front of the stone wall.

"If anything goes wrong later, Charles, you need to step in and help." Lucas said with a grin.

Charles opened his mouth slightly, surprised, and asked, "Me? What can I do as a Level 4 Beast Master?"

Inside the trial tower, there was Lucas, a Level 9 Beast Master, Jamie, an Level 8 Beast Master, and other Level 7 Beast Master teachers.

If anything were to happen, did they really need Charles to intervene?

"You just need to stand next to me. If you sense something is off, hold onto this staff, and you won't have to do anything else." Lucas replied, still smiling.

Charles sensed that the other party seemed to lack some confidence.

Could it be that a Level 9 Beast Master was unsure? What exactly was the curse on Professor Hale?

Charles looked around at the others, especially at Hale in the center. He nodded and slowly walked to stand behind Lucas.

"Don't worry, just stay calm. There might be some other occurrences." Lucas said briefly, his smile fading.

He began to take things seriously.

White tubes slowly descended from the top of the trial tower, and Jamie, along with the other teachers, reached out to grasp them in their hands.

Charles observed and thought that those must be the tools for controlling the trial tower.

In the next moment,

the teachers from Cyber Academy infused their attribute energy into the tubes, creating a faint golden barrier that enveloped Lucas, Hale, and Charles.

"Get ready, it's about to begin!" Lucas said, pulling out the Light Staff Star Pseud and aiming it at Hale.

The energy of light suddenly erupted, flowing from Lucas's body into the staff, and then, enhanced by the Light Staff Star Pseud, it reached Hale.

In the blink of an eye, like boiling water, countless wisps of mist appeared around Hale. Unlike the illusions, the mist was gray, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be tiny particles.

Just as the gray particles began to emerge from Hale's body, an unexpected scene unfolded before Charles's eyes!

He watched as those tiny particles slowly cracked open, revealing pairs of pitch-black eyes inside.

It was hard to describe the feeling—tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of tiny eyes were staring intently at Charles.

A sudden chill enveloped him, causing him to tremble. At that moment, Charles realized something was wrong, and he turned to look at Lucas beside him.

Lucas, holding the staff and infusing it with light energy, was also trembling, an overwhelming fear radiating from him!

What could instill such immense fear in a Level 9 Beast Master?

What was happening?

Charles had no time to think further. He immediately reached out and grasped the Light Staff Star Pseud alongside Lucas!

In a daze,

Charles found himself in a dark space.

Beside him stood Lucas, radiating light. Confused about what was happening, Charles looked at Lucas.

He saw Lucas tightly closing his eyes and muttering incomprehensible words to himself, such as "great," "absolute," and "eternal.

"Wake up, quick! What the hell is going on?" Charles shook Lucas's glowing body.

A terrifying feeling gripped his heart, as if something was watching him from the darkness!

That feeling was indescribable, the only word that could barely convey it was "unknown!"

Taking a deep breath, Charles didn't give up. Instead, he increased his effort and slapped Lucas's face several times!

Finally, Lucas slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Charles, but his gaze was focused on the darkness behind him.

Charles sensed that something was wrong and was about to turn his head to look back when—

Lucas suddenly opened his mouth wide, and countless tiny insects surged out, gathering and charging towards Charles!

At that moment, Charles felt a warmth rising within him. His hands became hot, and a burst of red and white light erupted from his palms!

The bright, intensely hot light instantly illuminated the entire space.

Lucas regained his senses and quickly pulled Charles, using the red and white light to escape rapidly.

Charles could only follow Lucas in their swift retreat, feeling curious about what Lucas had just seen.

When he glanced back, just a quick look froze him in place.

In the next instant,

the surrounding scene returned to normal.

"What happened? Why were you three completely frozen? Did you really encounter...?" Jamie asked anxiously.

Lucas pointed to his mouth but did not answer. Realizing what had happened, Jamie quickly closed his mouth and turned to carefully check on Charles.

Charles still had his eyes tightly shut, his body stiff as if he were a stone statue.

"It'll be fine in a moment. Remember, don't ask him anything later. He doesn't have the strength right now to retain complete memories!" Lucas said with an unprecedented seriousness in his voice.

Everyone around nodded, especially Jamie, who slowly replied:

"Sometimes, being weak can actually be a blessing."

"Indeed, the stronger one becomes, the more one knows, which can lead to greater despair." Lucas remarked with a sense of reflection.

He looked at Charles and continued, "However, some people are destined to become strong. Perhaps everything is just a matter of fate."

A long time later, as everyone waited,

Charles slowly opened his eyes. He looked around at the people and asked, somewhat dazed,

"What happened? What was going on? I feel like I reached out to touch the staff..."

"It's nothing. You were just affected by the staff's power. Everything is fine now, and the curse on Hale has been lifted." Jamie said with a normal expression.

Lucas nodded in agreement, confirming Jamie's words.

Charles scratched his head in confusion. He placed his hands in front of him and seemed to notice something unusual.

Lucas's heart tightened at that moment, and he feigned curiosity as he asked:

"What's wrong? Are your hands feeling uncomfortable? It might be because you were holding the staff."

Charles's hands felt somewhat hot, and he wasn't sure why. He only remembered placing his palm on the Light Staff Star Pseud when he saw Lucas frozen, and then everything went blank.

"Charles, thank you! I can feel that the curse on me is gone." Hale said, slightly trembling with gratitude.

Charles quickly waved his hand and replied, "It's great that the curse is lifted. Congratulations, Teacher Hale."

By the time Charles left the training tower, it was already noon.

"Has it really been that long? Is golden-quality equipment that powerful?" Charles thought, feeling puzzled.

He sensed that something was off but couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was,

and that feeling was incredibly strange!

"What exactly was the curse on Teacher Hale?" Charles wondered as he made his way to the cafeteria, feeling a bit hungry.

In the dean's office,

Jamie looked at Lucas with a serious expression and asked:

"Is it because of Charles? What exactly is—"

Before he could finish, Lucas interrupted him with a threatening tone, "I advise you not to try to investigate. What's on Charles is not simple. Only those at Suspended Mountain can uncover everything while ensuring his safety!"

"Suspended Mountain, Suspended Mountain! Damn, what is happening in this world?" Jamie slammed his fist on the table, causing the solid mahogany desk to shatter instantly.

"Once you become a Level 9 Beast Master, you'll be qualified to know more, but you'll also find it more despairing." Lucas said in a low voice.

He seemed to recall something terrifying, causing his body to tremble slightly.

Jamie's eyelids twitched. He had no idea what was happening, but seeing Lucas tremble filled him with immense fear!

"My time is short, and I have many things to do. You need to keep an eye on Charles. If necessary, he must not die, even if it costs you your life." Lucas said slowly.

Jamie took a deep breath. He valued Charles highly and was shocked to realize how important Charles was in Lucas's eyes!

"I've been here for almost two days, I have to leave. Having an Level 8 Beast Master protect Charles is the best choice." Lucas said before walking out.

Only Jamie remained in the office, lost in thought.

At Cyber Academy, in Classroom A,

the afternoon passed quickly. For ordinary students, every day of study was busy and tense.

However, for Charles, this kind of learning felt like a break. He could quickly understand and grasp the knowledge the teacher presented in class.

Soon, it was time for afternoon classes to end. Charles declined Zachary and Camilla's invitation, grabbed a quick dinner, and headed straight to the café next to the academy.

As soon as he arrived, he summoned Mousie, instructing it to dive into the darkness to see if there were any suspicious individuals.

Recalling Lucas's remarks about Mousie's uniqueness, Charles waited for Mousie to finish its task before sending it back to the Beast Mastery space.

After sending a message to Golden in the underground world, Charles also briefly updated Jamie before settling in the café's private booth, feeling at ease.

Three minutes later,

he heard footsteps outside the booth—soft, just one person.

It seemed like someone from the underground world had arrived, but it wasn't Golden or Icy.

Who could it be?
