Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Early the next morning, at the entrance of Cyber Academy, thousands of Genosha citizens gathered in an orderly manner. No one was making loud noises, the entire scene was so quiet it felt as if they didn't exist.

These people had arrived long before, including street vendors, impoverished folks from the crossroads, well-dressed elites, and various Beast Masters.

Different professions, different classes, representing different identities and statuses, yet at this moment, everyone was united by one identity: they were Genosha people!

For the dignity of their nation, these people placed all their hopes on Charles.

A master-level alchemist from the Haunted Marsh had dared to openly threaten an entire nation, which fueled the growing anger in the hearts of the Genosha citizens, along with the humiliation etched deep within them!

Every student entering and exiting Cyber Academy fell silent at the sight outside the gates.

Especially the pairs of eyes filled with expectation and anxiety made them instinctively lower their heads, unable to look directly.

"This is too heavy, it feels like a mountain is bearing down on me with all these gazes." a student murmured.

Now he understood what it meant to feel the weight of expectation.

"I really wonder if Charles will feel just as pressured when he comes out." he whispered to his companion. His companion shot him a glance and then quietly replied:

"You think Charles is like you? But seriously, these people only glanced at you, and you can't handle it. When Charles steps out, he'll be facing their most sincere and heaviest expectations."

At that moment,

students at the entrance of Cyber Academy began to move to the sides of the road, clearing a path.

Everyone present understood that only Charles could make the other students do this!

Sure enough,

After a few breaths,

Charles slowly emerged from the gates of Cyber Academy, and in an instant, all eyes were on him!

Charles maintained a calm expression on his face, but upon seeing so many people gathered at the entrance, he hadn't anticipated this situation.

His previously tranquil demeanor briefly shifted to surprise, but in the blink of an eye, that surprise quickly faded, returning to calmness.

Colton and Jamie Dean followed closely behind Charles, also stepping out slowly.

They noticed the change in Charles's emotions and instinctively exchanged glances, both recognizing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"In a situation like this, Charles can still remain calm, his mindset is truly impressive." Jamie said slowly.

Colton nodded in agreement, adding, "Yeah, some people might never encounter a scene like this in their lifetime. To maintain inner peace in the midst of so many expectant gazes is not something everyone can do."

"I've seen many talented young people who, once their genius aura fades, are left with nothing but resentment and self-pity. Charles is different, he has almost no flaws anywhere."

Jamie seemed to recall something and suddenly sighed, shaking his head, and said with some concern:

"He's only eighteen, yet he's as composed as an old man. That's not good, young people should be a bit more spirited."

On this point, Colton disagreed with Jamie's view and rebutted:

"There's no need to worry about that. The geniuses Charles has encountered in Genosha are mostly far behind him. Once he reaches the Haunted Marsh and meets stronger geniuses, his youthful spirit will naturally emerge."

In Colton's mind, Charles's talent was simply too strong, and few could compare to him.

Even Nathaniel's daughter, Luna, could only barely hold her own against Charles in Beast Mastery training.

As for Grace, who had formed a human contract with Charles, she had long since vanished. Her talent was decent, but compared to Charles, she was simply out of her league!

As Colton continued to ponder, Charles slowly walked toward the outside of Cyber Academy.

The moment he stepped through the gates, the atmosphere around him became even quieter.

As Charles walked, the crowd that had gathered at the entrance gradually parted, creating a wide path.

Colton and Jamie followed behind, and as they passed, the crowd that had dispersed quickly closed in again, trailing behind Charles.

Charles led the way, followed by a sea of people behind him.

They slowly made their way toward the alchemist guild in Genosha, and the usually lively streets were eerily quiet at that moment. Only the citizens of Genosha stood on the streets, making way for Charles, and once he passed, they quickly rejoined the throng.

At the entrance of the Genosha alchemist guild, Quinn and Seven had been waiting there for a while, fearing that Charles might back out and come up with various excuses.

To be safe, the two of them had left the hotel at dawn.

"President Owen, why hasn't Charles arrived yet? Is he scared?" Seven couldn't help but ask.

Owen, the president of the Genosha alchemist guild, glanced at Seven and thought, "Scared? Is he afraid of seeing how tragic your outcome will be?"

However, he certainly wouldn't say that out loud, fearing that Quinn and Seven might suddenly hesitate. So Owen calmly replied:

"No, Charles has publicly agreed to your duel, so he won't back out. You can rest assured."

After Owen finished speaking, Quinn began to ask:

"I started asking you yesterday what miracle drug Charles plans to concoct, and you kept saying he hasn't decided yet. Is he going to decide on the spot?"

"If that's the case, what if he needs some rare alchemy materials that I can't provide? Wouldn't that mean Charles would have to tear up the alchemist duel?"

Owen felt a bit helpless, he couldn't just tell Quinn yesterday that all the alchemy materials Charles needed were being used to concoct a blue-tier miracle drug, could he?

What if Quinn noticed something was off? That would be a disaster.

"Mr. Quinn, don't worry. I informed all the merchant associations in Genosha yesterday, including the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association, so we can quickly mobilize various alchemy materials in a short time." Owen could only suppress his amusement, continually stalling.

Quinn furrowed his brows, he felt there was something off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

At that moment,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

a commotion suddenly erupted on the road in front of the alchemist guild, as if someone had arrived.

Seven's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, twisted his neck, and wore a disdainful smile as he eagerly said:

"Is it Charles? I can't wait to show him that the power of the Haunted Marsh alchemist is beyond what an alchemist from a small place like Genosha can imagine!"

In the next instant, a chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd not far away:

"Look, it's His Majesty the Emperor! The Emperor has arrived!"

"And Lord Nathaniel, along with other ministers, they're all here!"

"Not only that, but I also see Her Highness the Grand Princess and Her Highness the Second Princess, they've all come!"

The citizens of Genosha were instantly ignited with enthusiasm, shouting loudly. They hadn't expected that a duel with such a high probability of loss would attract the Emperor and all the ministers to the scene.

Hearing the cheers from the distance, Quinn frowned again, feeling an increasing sense of unease. However, he still couldn't articulate what felt wrong.

Recalling Charles's information, he had investigated it twice, and each time it was nearly identical, with hardly any discrepancies.

"I must be overthinking it. After the duel, I should take a good rest." Quinn thought to himself.

To prevent any unexpected situations, he patted Seven on the shoulder and said again:

"Make sure to perform well. After the duel, I will find a way to get you into the upper echelons of the Haunted Marsh alchemist guild, as long as you can win this duel!"

Seven licked his lips, full of confidence, and patted his chest, responding earnestly:

"Don't worry, teacher. I haven't slacked off in the hotel these past few days, I've been studying alchemy techniques and have made some progress. I'm almost at the level of a master alchemist!"

Upon hearing Seven's response, Quinn's eyes lit up, and his unease instantly vanished. He looked at the Genosha Emperor Miles, who was slowly approaching, along with the ministers behind him, and a cold smirk appeared on his lips.

"This is the tragedy of the weak. What are you still struggling for? Coming to witness the duel in person will only bring more shame to Genosha. Do these ignorant people really fantasize about some miracle happening? It's simply ridiculous!" Quinn thought to himself.

As Emperor Miles of Genosha drew closer, all the Genosha citizens around him bowed respectfully, but Quinn and Seven remained standing, motionless, exuding an air of exceptional arrogance.

Miles displayed no signs of anger or humiliation on his face, instead, he wore a smile and greeted warmly:

"Mr. Quinn, I hear that you are soon to receive the nomination for vice president of the Haunted Marsh alchemist guild? Congratulations! There are only seven vice president positions at the headquarters of the Haunted Marsh alchemist guild, so being nominated is quite an achievement."

Quinn narrowed his eyes, upon hearing Miles's words, he realized that the other party had thoroughly investigated the information before speaking.

"I am a man of my word. When Charles appears at the duel, Kingston will naturally withdraw their troops, and the alchemy material resources of Genosha will not be restricted." Quinn replied coolly.
