Beast Taming: Infinite Simulation as a Tamed Beast

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Rejecting the Crazy Love Confession

Vincent gestured to an objection to it, "Seems like there's something weird about the way this kid broke the defense. Isn't this just a game?"

Though thoroughly engrossed, Teacher Zoey Green still voiced her opinion.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your fun, but this is a classroom. Any disputes can be settled after class," she said.

"As to who wants to team up with whom, I really don't care. The purpose of this lesson is to gauge your battle skills, no other requirements."

Sebastian wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Vincent. "I was just thinking about sparring with her. You can watch from the sidelines."

Elly Wale walked forward triumphantly, while Sebastian took on the look of someone about to burst into tears. Comparing the two, Sebastian seemed like a defeated dog.

"Hey, don't rush. We want to compete with this Vincent Wolf, one of the infamous Five Black."

"Yeah, I also want to witness the prowess of a Beast Master who can contract with a high-level commander."

"I wonder if our top student is also number one when it comes to controlling beasts?"

Seeing Elly successfully challenging Vincent, a few male and female students from other classes who were watching also entered the Class One area, intending to compete with Vincent.

These few people looked like they were just brimming with malice.

"Enough already! Trying to bully people from Class One? Do you think we're invisible?"

The students in Class One couldn't bear to watch any longer. Over forty people, including their pet beasts, all immediately surrounded them.

Seeing themselves surrounded by people, the few retreated noticeably, appearing unassertive.

"You want to see our prowess? Are forty of us enough for you to handle?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Since when did Vincent become part of the Five Black?"

"Vincent was indeed part of the Five Black, but only for one day. Then, after his speech from the podium, he was removed from the Five Black."

"What's this Five Black?" Vincent had heard this term a few times over the past few days.

He reflected on it, but didn't have much of an impression of this term in his memory.

He only knew that the Campus Five Black represented the five strangest people in campus, including Sebastian.

As for the other four, Vincent hadn't looked into them.

He went onto the school forum to search the keywords "Campus Five Black" "Vincent".

A few posts popped up, Vincent clicked on the first one:

[Vincent Wolf - Brief Leader of the Campus Five Black.

Title: Master of Rejecting Confessions.

Record: According to reliable records (recordings), maximum one-day record of rejecting 73 confessions, while delivering a uniquely tailored verbal put-down for each one, with no duplicate among the 73 cases.

Introduction: The only generally recognized school hunk of Seattle Emperial High School. Capable of manipulating hearts, he uses vitriolic words and disdainful eyes to ridicule those confessing their feelings to him. According to incomplete records, 33% of confessions produce unique fetishes after being rejected, and have been rejected multiple times afterward.

2.0 version update: Confirmed rejection of contract with the Commander Species Three-tailed Fox but contracted with Slime instead, thus officially becoming Campus Five Black and ranking first.

2.1 version update: After his own 'clarification', on the second day of ranking first among the Campus Five Black, he recommitted the contract with the Three-tailed Fox. Henceforth he is no longer part of the Campus Five Black.]

"Master of Rejecting Confessions? Can't they come up with a better name than that?"

Vincent only regretted not having a mechanical property pet beast, or else he'd have followed the internet line and given the person who posted a severe beating.

Seeing the pitiful few surrounded by many, Vincent said, "Don't bully them anymore, it's really pitiful. I'll bully them myself."

Then he pointed casually.

"You, come here. Let's have a match."

The one pointed at quickly squeezed out from the crowd, flattering and bowing all the way, for fear of being beaten up for not doing enough.

"Hello big brother, my pet beast is a high-level extraordinary species, Fighting Chicken, my name is..."

"Enough, I don't care what your name is."

Vincent cleared a space in the crowd and had Barry take the middle of the arena, facing the Fighting Chicken at a certain distance.

"I'll be the referee!" Elly Wale jumped at the opportunity and rushed to take the place.

"You know, isn't it a bit dull to start a fight like this?" Vincent commented lazily.

"What do you want to do?" Suddenly, his opponent grew confident as the fight was about to begin.

"There should be some stakes."

"Pffft, what do you want to bet?" His opponent couldn't help but laugh. A Slime had the confidence to raise the stakes?

"The loser has to bark like a dog. What do you think?"

"You... " His opponent was taken back a bit. Was it possible that the Master of Rejecting Confessions now had a new hobby? To bark like a dog in public?

He wanted to agree, but when glancing at the surrounding crowd, he felt it improper. After all, it would be bad if he won the match but had to stay in the hospital for a month.

"Let's add a condition. The loser has to bark like a dog, but if you don't want to bark, you can compensate with money." His opponent thought, if I have made concessions, and if Vincent barks like a dog, then it's his problem, not mine.

"Sure." Vincent then asked Sebastian, "How much money do you have?"

The implication was that if he lost, he would borrow money from Sebastian to pay off the debt.

"Are you asking about my pocket money, or my bank deposits, or company shares, or real estate, or bonds, or..."

"Okay, you can use five hundred Cathay currency to compensate."

After talking, Vincent signaled to Elly that they could start the fight.

"Alright, get ready... Now... Begin!"

The Fighting Chicken is a gold attribute pet beast. The most common skill among the gold attributes is the low-grade [Hardening].

As the battle began, Fighting Chicken lunged forward, its wings flapping and its whole body shimmering with a metallic gloss. It was as if it had put on an invisible layer of armor. Its sharp beak, as sharp as a dagger, charged straight at Barry.

"[Rapid Movement] to the back of the Fighting Chicken, then use [Spit Water]!" Vincent passed on his command through the Beast Control Contract.

Although the other's Beast Master wasn't great, the Fighting Chicken was indeed strong among high-level extraordinary species, so he could not be careless.

With the perfect level of [Rapid Movement], only an afterimage could be seen. Barry almost instantaneously appeared behind the Fighting Chicken. A jet stream hit the Fighting Chicken, sending it flying several meters.

"Ah! My Fighting Chicken!" Seeing his Fighting Chicken hit, his opponent immediately cried out.

"Wait for the chance, continue with [Spit Water]."

Because the opponent's Fighting Chicken had activated the Hardening skill, although their Hardening skill was at a low proficiency level, it still reduced a certain amount of damage, so its fighting capacity was still intact.

Seeing that his Fighting Chicken was okay, the opponent let out a sigh of relief, then became noticeably nervous because he realized Vincent's Slime was not as weak as he had imagined.

Vincent frowned slightly. Due to the Fighting Chicken's hardening ability, its defense and physical attacks were very strong, which forced him to rely on long-range attacks.
