STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

City A(14th Zone):

On the other hand, the Instructor, Jacob Henry, saw the viral videos online. He broke out into a cold sweat the next moment.

He had never thought the 10th Zone would face a beast Invasion. If it were an ordinary beast invasion, he wouldn't have been worried.

Because there are city governors and heads of the beast-taming forces. They would solve the problem easily.

But he saw the whole city was covered in spider webs. Many top high-rise buildings were entirely trapped.

He knows that such a scale of attack can only be done by a powerful beast.

"It must be a Tier-9 Colossus Beast," Jacob thought.

Jacob had never seen Colossus the Beast in real life. He had seen such a Tier-9 Lifeform only online. Even in those online videos.

No one has seen the entire body of the Tier-9 Colossal Beast. Those online videos have captured some glimpses.

Because the fight between Tier-9 Beast Tamers and the Tier-9 Colossal Beasts was terrifying. No one has the guts to record it.

Jacob Henry was scared. He knows Jeremy Night has joined one of the organisations in the city as well.

He didn't know the condition of Jeremy Night, either. He is thinking the same as the Dean. He believes Jeremy Night was under the protection of the city.

So he was not worried about the kid. But he is worried about the kid's family and friends. He knows Jeremy's father is a City Governor.

He thinks they can handle the shock. But he was not sure about the STRIKER Department members.

Ever since Jeremy Night graduated from here. Only Betsy Lowe and Daniel Stone were left in the department.

He thinks they must have seen the videos as well.

While he was thinking, the same discussion was happening on the side of Betsy Lowe and Daniel Stone.

Right now, both of them are in class. Betsy and Daniel saw the online videos. Their faces were full of fear. Their backs went cold.

From the online videos, she can tell that black clouds were filled with the dangerous flying ants.

"It appears to be a dangerous beast invasion," Betsy said in a serious tone.

"The Flying Ants are hundreds in number. They are mostly Tier-3 to Tier-7 Corrupted Beasts," She added.

"We can't even fight against Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts. Let alone the Tier-5 and above beasts," Daniel said.

"If such beasts were to appear here, then our city would be razed to the ground," Daniel added.

"Those who are seeing the footage, comparing themselves to the situation. We don't have such terrifying beasts living in our wilderness."

"But the wilderness surrounding the top 10 zones is different. Without sufficient strength you cannot survive there," Betsy said in a serious tone.

She has figured out the situation. Daniel said nothing. But both of them worried about Jeremy Night.

The secret of Jeremy Night's departure was disclosed by the Instructor Jacob sometime ago.

So they knew Jeremy Night had joined the Mercenary organisation there. They were angry about it.

Because Jeremy Night didn't reveal a word about it. Then Head Jacob told them about the dangers of the top 10 zones.

In the top 10 zones, the infighting within the organisation is severe. Jeremy Night had to face dangers from the corrupted beasts and the hostile beast tamers as well.

It's totally different from their small city. After hearing that the resentment in their heart had disappeared.

They too realise that the risk was taken by Jeremy Night. They realised that if Jeremy Night had wanted, he would have become the next City Governor in their own city.

He can kill a Tier-4 Corrupted Beast with his own strength. So he can kill Tier-5 and Tier-6 Corrupted Beasts easily in the future.

Yet Jeremy Night had avoided the safe route and took the risks to join the Mercenary organisation in the 10th zone.

"Don't worry, he will be fine. He had never acted without a plan. He won't take reckless actions there," Daniel said to her.

Hearing that, Betsy recovered her thoughts.

She said, "According to the news, a Tier-9 Colossal Beast has attacked the city with spider webs."

"Unless they get help from the Human Alliance, it's difficult to save them," Betsy added.

"Tier-9 Colossal Beast!"

"Don't scare me like that," Daniel said with fear.

The mention of Tier-5 Beast itself scares him. But people are talking about the Tier-9 Colossal Beast online.

Betsy saw his reaction and shook her head.

Even she was scared herself. They are just Tier-1 Beast Tamers. The Tier-9 Colossal Beasts are far away from them.

"Let's just hope. He is going to be safe," Betsy commented.

Then they changed their topic and started focusing on other works.

Meanwhile,

They are not the only ones who knew the truth about Jeremy Night. People with an influential background learned about it as well.

Among the things May Lindsey learned from her family. Ever since she came to know about Jeremy Night's early graduation.

She wanted to enter the top 10 zones as well. Her family is trying several other ways. As long as May Lindsey's strength reaches Tier-3.

She will gain an entry-level qualification. But it will take at least one year. But before that, she had decided to work hard.

But this beast invasion news came as a shock. She saw the trending videos. An entire city was covered with spider webs.

Flying Ants are attacking in large numbers in black clouds.

She saw how the flying type Corrupted beasts had successfully entered the city and were causing various damage to the people and infrastructure.

She was able to learn from her family that the spider web was released by the Tier-9 Colossal Beast. When she heard that, she was dumbfounded and scared.

A mere Tier-7 Corrupted beast caused a beast Invasion not long ago here. But the 10th zone is facing a threat from the Tier-9 Colossal beasts.

She came to realise how serious the threat was surrounding the top 10 zones. Then Jeremy Night joined such a city.

And this beast invasion is going to be his second. She doesn't know what to say or how to react. But she is feeling competitive.

As an S-Grade Talent, she wanted to do better as well. So this is only motivating her. She will definitely fight against powerful corrupted beasts in future.
