Chapter 105: 105

Chapter 105: Battle Beasts, Fuse!

All the students present followed behind the motorcade. They wanted to watch Adelaide’s interaction with Locke even further.

Once the vehicles reached a corner, however, Trista and Jacques appeared.

“Leave the car here. The principal doesn’t like noise…” Trista ordered.

Locke got out of the car and went forward to greet the two instructors.

Adelaide took his fan followed the instructors to the principal’s office together with Löw.

…

“Mm! As expected of the King of Commerce. Your bearing is extraordinary! Thank you for your investment! Of course, feel free to hire our outstanding graduates…” Hobrick was usually a bit sloppy, however, he was very familiar with diplomatic language. He spoke smoothly from the moment he opened his mouth.

The scene was very harmonious and friendly.

However, Löw was a nervous wreck. The so-called principal’s office was really too messy!

This was something his master absolutely could not accept!

As expected, ever since Adelaide stepped into this place, he became very uncomfortable.

He was stumbling over his words, and he did not have the bearing of the King of Commerce at all.

“This is intentional by the principal… He knows that Adelaide has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he deliberately did not clean it up so that Adelaide would be thrown into disarray. This way, he won’t make any other requests…” Jacques whispered to Locke beside him.

“Is it necessary for him to do this? He doesn’t have any other requests…” Locke expressed that he did not understand.

At this moment, John joined in the conversation, he also whispered, “You don’t understand…”. “The principal has seen too many things. These investors are all pushing their luck. By doing this, Adelaide will not easily make trouble for the academy in the future. Naturally, it will be difficult for him to control the situation here. Moreover, the principal never likes to receive calls from investors…”

“Huh…” Locke was already speechless.

Once the meeting ended, Adelaide ran out of the lighthouse as if he had escaped from prison, he said to Löw who was beside him, “If you have any problems in the future, just call principal Hobrick. I will never come again! Oh god! It’s chaotic, utterly chaotic ! I’m about to faint…”

Locke watched this scene from the window and knew that the cunning old man had succeeded again.

Once most of the people had left, Hobrick sincerely said to Locke, “Child, these businessmen always put their interests first, especially the investors… if I don’t use some small tricks, the other party will get more and more greedy. You have to understand…”

Actually, Locke did not completely understand, but he felt that the old man was too cautious.

…

After finishing his responsibilities, Locke returned to the dormitory and finally opened the Beast Fusion tome.

He read it with great interest.

His reading session lasted for several hours.

“How wonderful. It seems that there are many things in this world that I don’t know about…” Locke’s face was full of anticipation.

After reading half of it, Locke called out Infinite Fire Element and Gale Wings to try the Beast Fusion.

In his opinion, the fusion of the two elemental beasts was a priority. After all, the two-headed snake was already a Stage 3 beast, and it had the ability to take care of everything on its own.

However, the elementals were only Stage 2, Level 1.

According to the tome, once the beasts fused their strength would dramatically increase.

By doing so, Locke would be able to fight with an even greater peace of mind.

At this thought, Locke recited the chant contained within the tome. A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and said, “Beast… Fusion!”

Lil’ Flame and Lil’ Breeze immediately changed!

The divine golden light on their bodies began to flicker continuously, and then began to gather together!

This process was very similar to when Alice fused her own Battle Beasts.

A crisp sound rang out, and a new Battle Beast that was glowing with white and fiery red light appeared!

Looking at this little fellow that was glowing with a strange light, Locke immediately stretched his hands towards it.

A white and fiery red panel appeared before him:

[ Battle Beast Name: Cries of Wind and Flame ]

[ Battle Beast Grade: Rose Gold Divine Rank ]

[ Battle Beast Attributes: Wind and Fire ]

[ Battle Beast Level: Stage 2, Level 5 ]

[ Battle Beast Talent: The beasts that take part in the fusion will be Awakened once they advance to Stage 3 ]

[ Battle Beast Skills: Fire and Wind Combo, Blazing Skies ]

[ Hidden Evolution Path: The beasts that take part in the fusion will be Awakened once they advance to Stage 3. ][1]

Locke was really excited! He leaped up from the sofa!

This was not just because the two beasts had leveled up after merging!

It was because even the fusion beast itself had a hidden evolution path!

The System was really awesome!

However, since Locke was still new to the fusion process, the fusion beast separated after two minutes had gone by.

Locke was not depressed.

This was a very normal phenomenon. He immediately flipped through the thick tome and looked at the name of the last chapter, Permanent Fusion.

Based on how much strength the fusion beasts gained, permanently fusing them was probably for the best!

In his excitement, Locke laid back down on his sofa and spent his entire night devouring the contents of the tome!

…

“Dong… Dong… Dong… Dong!”

Locke, who had fallen asleep for an unknown period of time, was woken up by a series of knocks on the door.

He left the sofa and opened the door, only to come face to face with Instructor Jacques.

“Little brat, why didn’t you attend class today?”

Locke, who was half asleep, scratched his hair and said, “I’m sorry… I spent all night reading, so I didn’t manage to wake up for class…”

Since they were well acquainted, Jacques walked into the dormitory and walked towards the sofa.

“Oh no!” Locke immediately realized that the tome of the Beast Fusion was still on the sofa!

‘If Jacques notices it, it would be hard for me to explain. I couldn’t just say that I found it on the streets, right?’

‘He hasn’t noticed it yet. If the principal were to learn about this, I would definitely need to hand it over to him!’

“Reading? What book? I don’t remember you liking theoretical knowledge so much…” Jacques was attempting to light a cigarette.

While Jacques was lighting the cigarette, Locke immediately scurried back to the sofa and sat down on the book.

Jax felt that Locke was a little strange and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Oh right, what book?”

Locke’s mind spun rapidly and he immediately changed the topic. “Instructor, I remember that you were sent to the Silver District to teach. Why are you watching over me?”

Upon hearing Locke’s question, a smile immediately appeared on Jacques’ face. He took out a small booklet and handed it over…
