“Annie, did I hear wrongly? You said that you want to challenge Starlux Gym?”
What Annie said puzzled Giles.
“Didn’t you get the badge of Starlux Gym last month?”
“Could there be another Starlux Gym in this base city?”
“This is because…”
Annie was about to explain the reason to Giles when she was interrupted by a voice coming from outside the door before she could finish.
“I was the one who informed her to come over… ah… Is it because I woke up too early today? So sleepy…”
The voice even yawned as it spoke.
“Sister Hash? Why are you here today?”
Hearing this familiar voice and this lazy yawn, even before he looked out the door, Giles knew that the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, had arrived .
“I’m here to inspect your work. I’m here to conduct an unannounced inspection to see if you opened the door on time this morning.”
Upon hearing Giles call her “Sister,” Hash joked with Giles.
As she spoke, she stretched, not caring about the visual impact her curvaceous body would cause.
“But it looks like you’ve only opened the door a short while ago. The only light turned on in the entire reception area is at the front desk.”
The first thing Hash did when she walked in was to press the switch to turn on all the lighting equipment in the reception area.
“No… Hah…”
When Giles heard what Hash said, he wanted to stop Hash, but he was too late.
Looking at all the equipment in the reception area light up as usual, Giles sighed.
Hash had already turned the switch on, so it was not possible for him to turn it off again.
“Hmm? Is that a problem?”
Hearing Giles sigh, Hash tilted her head and looked at Giles curiously.
“Uh, there’s no problem.”
In the face of Hash’s question, Giles subconsciously shook his head, but he was still feeling conflicted.
Should he tell them that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym had been cut off?
Standing in front of him were Annie and Hash. One was the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, while the other was an Elite Beast Tamer.
The amount of money that he was still short of was something that any one of them could easily fork out.
However, he usually resolved his own problems by himself and didn’t like to trouble others.
Furthermore, the reason why Starlux Gym’s spirit energy supply had been cut off was also because he had been telling stories to the spirit beast cubs.
He should repay the portion of the money he owed on his own.
Hah, I hope that the backup spiritual energy supply and the electricity for the reception area can last a while longer.
At the very least, it has to last until I deal with Sister Hash and Annie.
At the thought of this, Giles adjusted his emotions.
To change the topic, he asked about Annie challenging Starlux Gym, “Sister Hash, didn’t Annie already obtain the badge for Starlux Gym?”
“Why did you especially come with her to challenge me again?”
After hearing Giles’ question, Hash snorted and asked Giles a question in return, “Hmph, you still have the cheek to bring this up?”
“Two weeks ago, after I went back to the Beast Tamer Association’s branch from Starlux Gym, I took a look.”
“How many times have you accepted challenges from Beast Tamers after Alice left Starlux Gym?”
“Giles, in this regard, you didn’t cause me any trouble. The number of times you accepted challenges from Beast Tamers is less than five.”
“However, this might also be because you’ve been away for a long time to participate in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament and the Beast Tamer Friendly Match.”
“Even if you only accepted the challenges from Beast Tamers a couple of times, it was still a violation of the rules for you to give a Beast Tamer a badge.”
“And the Beast Tamer who obtained the Starlux Gym badge because of your infraction was Miss Annie.”
At this point, Hash looked at Giles with a stern gaze.
In that instant, Hash’s demeanor changed from the big sister next door who never had enough sleep to that of an Elite Beast Tamer.
Due to the fact that Giles had already mentioned this to Hash previously, he was actually very calm in the face of the upcoming punishment.
“Your Excellency, what is the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters for me?”
This kid’s mental fortitude is quite strong!
If it were any other person his age, even if they didn’t know what the punishment was, they would have already started begging me.
When she heard Giles address her as’ Your Excellency ‘, Hash’s sharp eyes could not help but reveal her admiration for Giles.
However, admiration was just admiration. Regarding the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association headquarters to Giles, Hash continued to maintain a business-like attitude.
“In short, after the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters learned about what had happened in Starlux Gym, because of your good attitude in taking the initiative to admit your mistake plus this is also the first time you’ve made such a mistake, so the punishment will also be light. They will probably deduct two months of your salary, that’s about it?”
“Okay, alright. Your Excellency, I’ll have to trouble you to report back to the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters.”
After hearing the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters, Giles bowed respectfully to Hash and expressed his gratitude.
This was because Giles knew very well that although he had left a good impression on Hash the other day when she came to Starlux Gym, regarding the matter of ‘your good attitude in taking the initiative to admit your mistake’, it actually all depended on how Hash reported the matter to the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters.
From the outcome, despite him committing such a mistake, the final punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters was only to deduct two months of his salary.
Therefore, as Alice’s ex-classmate, Hashmust have helped him a lot in this matter.
However, although Giles appeared calm and even thanked Hash, he felt awful at the thought of his salary being deducted for the next two months.
The reason was simple.It was because he was in need of money right now.
Initially, he had wanted to tell the Beast Tamer Association’s Branch for an advance on the next two months of his salary so as to pay for the missing amount for the spiritual energy consumption bill.
However, his salary had been deducted by the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters for two months. He had no choice but to think of another solution.
“Giles, regarding the violation of the rules of awarding Miss Annie with the Starlux Gym’s badge, the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters had originally planned to directly take back Annie’s badge.”
Just as Giles was thinking about whether there were any other ways to earn money, Hash’s words caught his attention.
“However, given that you still have a Silver-rank spirit beast, the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters gave you and Starlux Gym a chance.”
