3: Ah, this is just an ordinary slime?

"My heavens, a Beast Tamer?!"

"This profession hasn't appeared in decades, has it?!"

"Isn't this even rarer than a Magic Swordsman?!"

"What's going on? Isn't this a support profession? Why are you all so excited?"

"This isn't just any support profession. Beast Tamers immediately gain a soul-bound magic beast upon awakening!"

"I remember reading in a book that there was once a Beast Tamer who could command a Fire Dragon and defended a city under magic beast attack all by himself!"

"That's too strong!"

Beast Tamer... that strong?

The Consultant also felt a little excited. After awakening, he vaguely felt something stirring within him, constantly roaring, wanting to burst out!

"Everyone, step back a little!"

Liu Black Hand had never seen a Beast Tamer, but he was experienced enough. He immediately called for the students in front to retreat, and he himself took a few steps back. Only then did he look at the Consultant, his face, which had been full of disdain, now showed a hint of flattery: "Consultant student, try to summon your pet. Be careful not to hurt anyone!"

Heh, what a quick change of face!

The Consultant looked at Liu Black Hand's expression and sneered inwardly.

But he was also curious about his own beast. He took a deep breath, slowly releasing the restless 'fierce beast' within him.

This process wasn't long. Under the Consultant's control, the aura within him grew stronger and stronger... Bang!

A cloud of light blue mist suddenly exploded, causing everyone in the class to change their expressions drastically, nervously backing away even further. Some timid ones even ran out of the classroom.

The Consultant remained in place, scanning the surroundings through the smoke. Besides feeling his body become a little heavier, he didn't see anything at all.

"Where's my beast?"

The Consultant was a bit bewildered. He could feel that the 'fierce beast' within him had been released, but he couldn't see where it was.

Is it invisible?

As the smoke dissipated, the classroom returned to calm. Everyone's gaze was now fixed on the Consultant... or, to be precise, on the top of his head.

"What... is that?"

"Does that count as a ferocious beast?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Everyone's faces were filled with indescribable expressions, and some even burst out laughing.

The Consultant curiously touched the soft, cold, jelly-like semi-solid on his head, which was still bouncing 'duang~duang~'!

What in the world is this?!

The Consultant quickly looked down and soon saw a light blue translucent object land on the podium.

Splat!

The thing made a sticky sound, then slowly swelled up like an indescribable blob.

It looked like a water droplet, or an onion, adorned with two small eyes, staring at the Consultant with 'wisdom'.

This thing... doesn't look strong at all!

"It's over, I'm BBQ'd, it's over, what kind of weird thing is this?!"

The Consultant stared at this 'blob', blinked, and suddenly a descriptive panel appeared before his eyes:

[Soul-bound Pet: A common Slime found everywhere.]

[Pet Personality: Absolutely Neutral (Different training methods can change its personality and abilities).]

[Pet Level: Level 1.]

[Pet Attribute: Normal.]

[Pet Race: Slime Type.]

[Pet Ability: Eat (Note: Simply eating, nothing more).]

[Pet Description: This is a top-tier beast with limitless potential. Please treat it well. Also, note: Not edible.]

This description made the Consultant's mouth twitch uncontrollably... 'Commonly found everywhere' yet 'limitless potential' ordinary 'top-tier' beast, huh?!

What does 'Please treat it well' mean? Is someone entrusting their child to me?!

Why the note 'Not edible'? Can this thing really be eaten?!

The Consultant looked at the jelly-like Slime on the podium, his mood quite complex for a moment.

Many people below the stage, upon seeing the Consultant's beast cub, openly burst into laughter. Among them, there were even many who hadn't even become Awakened Ones, seizing the opportunity to mock the Consultant—

"Haha, isn't that a Slime?"

"I remember there were a lot of these things on the roads outside the city, weren't there?"

"Even if you're not an Awakened One, dealing with this thing should be easy, right?"

"My great-uncle could easily kill this Slime with a pitchfork!"

"My 80-year-old grandma could crush this thing with her wheelchair!"

The Consultant looked at the Slime with a complicated feeling.

He thought he would awaken some powerful profession after transmigrating here, but he didn't expect the profession to be quite powerful, yet this thing... also had a sort of ugly-cute feel to it.

Looking at those 'wise' eyes, much of the gloom in the Consultant's heart dissipated, and he even felt an urge to laugh.

Whatever, let it be!

The Consultant picked up the Slime and put it back on his head.

The Slime was obedient, sticking to his head and wobbling, like a wiggling hat.

The Consultant's 'calm' reaction changed many people's opinions of him for a moment. The mocking voices gradually died down, and instead, another topic arose, led by the class monitor, Sun Wen.

"Actually, I think this Slime is quite cute."

"I think so too, it's a pity I'm not a Beast Tamer."

"Don't even think about it, even if you were a Beast Tamer, you might not get a chance to bind a Slime."

"How about we go outside the city and catch one?"

"Wild Slimes can be dangerous, let's not!"

The Consultant could tell that Sun Wen was intentionally helping him, but at the same time, he noticed a boy not far away staring at him with a sinister gaze...
