Chapter 298: Lugh’s Lecture

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

The third-grade students from Class Two all burst into laughter.

One of the students laughed and said, “Can you give me the details?”

Lugh laughed and said, “Among you, those whose parents are working in the military, show me your hands.”

Of the Grade 3 students from Class Two, 30 of them raised their hands.

This ratio was similar to what Lugh had imagined.

The Southwest Military was dominated by one family, and the treatment was generous.

Those who had family members working in the military could obtain rich resources.

“Now, do you understand why I said the military’s treatment is very good?” Lugh said with a smile. “The first pet beast among you should be Gold-rank, or even Platinum-rank. If the military’s treatment wasn’t good, your first pet beast wouldn’t be unable to enter No. 1 High School. You should know how big the gap between you and most of the civilian Beast Masters are.”

Many of the students in Class Two nodded.

“We can be considered to be of the same age. I know that you all want freedom and no restrictions, but I still want to say that in this world, if you want to survive better, if you have the chance, it’s best to join the military. It’s also the most practical.”

Lugh said seriously, “A person without outstanding combat strength, fighting alone in the wild, thinking of danger… Of course, if you have my strength, I won’t stop you.”

Those students laughed.

They knew very well that they couldn’t compare with Lugh.

“If you want to become stronger and want to keep fighting, joining the military is definitely safer than becoming mercenaries and adventurers. At least in the military, you have trustworthy partners. “You have powerful superiors, a strict intelligence system, and a complete war plan.”

Lugh said in a low voice, “To put it bluntly, even if you die in battle, the military will still take care of your families. Even if the city is in danger, the military will first protect and evacuate the family members of the military.”

That’s right.

In this cruel world where Fierce Beasts were everywhere, the military did the same thing.

Back when Starry City was destroyed, the family members of the military Beast Masters were the ones who evacuated the most safely.

Lugh could completely understand.

The military wanted to recruit as many Beast Masters as possible, not giving them preferential treatment. It was unrealistic to only talk about ideals.

“But you became mercenaries and adventurers? Without a strict intelligence system, without companions that you can rely on, it’s very easy for you to encounter life-threatening dangers in the wild. If you die, you die. Your families will also have no one to rely on.”

Lugh said seriously, “Moreover, in the wild, you not only have to be careful of Fierce Beasts, but you also have to be careful of your own kind.”

Lugh tugged at the military uniform on his body and said with a smile, “If you wear the military uniform, then the safety can be guaranteed a lot. When you encounter problems, the military can help you solve a lot of problems. This is something that the Pavilion of Treasures can prove.”

Lucy silently lowered her head.

The third-grade students from Class Two burst into laughter.

Everyone still remembered the Pavilion of Treasures incident.

“No matter which path you choose after graduation, I hope that all of you don’t forget to increase your strength.”

Lugh said sincerely, “Your own strength is the foundation to survive and live a better life. I don’t have any prejudice against mercenaries or adventurers. At the very least, they are hunting Fierce Beasts. Whether you join the military or become mercenaries or adventurers, I have no objections. This is the path that you need to choose.”

Many of the students were deeply moved by Lugh’s words.

They could tell that Lugh was speaking to them as an equal.

He wasn’t like their parents, or the military Beast Masters from before.

This feeling of being respected made them feel very comfortable.

Moreover, he was telling the truth.

He wasn’t talking about honor, ideals, or responsibility… These people could hear calluses in their ears.

“Do you have any other questions?”

“Teacher Lugh?”

A girl plucked up her courage and asked, “Can you let us see your Divine Beasts?”

As soon as she said this, all the students in class two stared expectantly at Lugh.

Great strength was the pursuit of the vast majority of Beast Masters.

They also wanted to see with their own eyes the pet of the Southwest’s number one genius, Lugh.

They wanted to know the difference between them and Lugh.

“Sure.”

At this time, even George, who was not interested in the military, looked at Lugh.

“Come out.”

Lugh waved his hand, and the Berserk Bear that had not been on the road for a long time appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as it appeared, it shrouded all the students of Class Two in the shadows.

More than ten meters tall, it had a mountain-like body, and its explosive muscle lines hid a terrifying power.

His entire body was covered in crisscrossing scars, his ugly and terrifying face, his ferocious one-eyed look, and his fierce, murderous aura.

Just one glance at the Berserk Bear was enough to make everyone feel a heavy pressure.

Many of the students in Class Two, whose willpower wasn’t strong enough, turned pale, their legs went weak, and their stomachs began to tremble.

Even the three Gold-tier teachers standing next to them were terrified when they saw the Berserk Bear.

How terrifying!

This was the unanimous assessment of all the Beast Masters present, including Lucy.

Lucy knew very well that this unknown pet beast would probably be able to wipe out all of her pet beasts.

Lugh’s words were clearly heard by every Beast Master. “It followed me all the way here, from Starry City, Seven Star City to Skylight City, from Mita City to Blue Star city…”

Lugh recalled the Berserk Bear, and the heavy pressure disappeared. Only then did the students gradually recover.

However, in their minds, they couldn’t get rid of the terrifying figure of the bear, as well as the words Lugh had said to them.

“Any other questions?”

“Teacher Lugh, I want to ask, how many wars have you fought?”

“Since I graduated at the age of 15, I haven’t heard much about it,” Lugh said with a smile.

…

Lugh simply told the story of his years of experience, omitting the part about his pet’s special abilities and some military secrets.

In the process of telling these stories, of course, he did not forget the mission and was slightly greedy for some private goods.

However, all the students of Class Two present still listened with great interest.

It was true that Lugh’s combat experience was much richer than theirs, and they also liked listening to stories very much.

When the morning class ended, Class Two was reluctant to leave the class. They only begged Lugh to continue.

However, with Lugh’s schedule, it was impossible for him to stay here forever.

“Goodbye, Teacher Lugh.”

“Teacher Lugh, I’ll look for you at the military headquarters in the future.”

“I want to join the 14th Emergency Response Team. Teacher Lugh, you have to wait for me.”

…

A group of students had sent him to the door. Lugh waved his hand and got into the military vehicle and left.

After Lugh left, the topic of Class Two could not be separated from him.

When someone was eating, he could not help but sigh, “Teacher Lugh’s demon bear is really too handsome.”

“It’s just a little ugly.”

“You know nothing about handsomeness!”

…

In three days, Lugh finally ran through all five classes of Skylight City’s First High School’s third grade. It could be considered that he had completed the task that Barnard had given him,

just as he entered Barnard’s office, Lugh smelled thick smoke.

This smoke was very choking.

From yesterday to today, at least.

It seemed that Barnard had not gone back since midnight yesterday and was only smoking in the office.

Seeing Barnard, Lugh found that he was frowning, as if he had encountered some trouble.

“You’re here?” Barnard forced a smile and asked, “How was your lecture these past few days?”

“It was alright.”

Lugh glanced at Barnard’s desk.

What the heck.

The ashtray was already filled to the brim.

Cigarette butts were everywhere on the floor.

It was fortunate that the other party was a big shot of Skylight City, a King-tier Beast Master.

Otherwise, he would have lost all his money by now.

“You handled the matters in Blue Star City very well,” Barnard said seriously. “The researchers from the Black Feather Organization you brought back, as well as those research instruments, alarmed the person-in-charge of our Southwest Military Department. Those people and instruments are very valuable. The head of the military industry department even praised you. General Paul is also very satisfied with the results of your first time leading a team.”

“It’s all thanks to Vice-Captain Barnard’s nurturing.”

“Stop sucking up.” Barnard could not help but laugh. “Take a good rest for a few days. Maybe the mission will come soon.”

“What mission?”
