After reading, Sarah fell into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, Sarah still decided to tell Asher about this matter.
Asher: "?"
Big eyes filled with big question marks.
"Ah…", Asher also didn't expect something like this to happen.
By the way, Asher took a look at that email, its wording was sincere, not like someone with ulterior motives.
After thinking about it, Asher said, "…Just go ahead with this arrangement."
Sarah nodded, as if not at all surprised by Asher's decision.
To Asher, this matter was just a small interlude.
As for the follow-up actions of that Chairman Q, Asher also left it to Angel to keep an eye on.
If he didn't know who this person was, Asher would have to wait for the situation to ferment before taking action.
But now that he knew who it was, handling it became much simpler.
Just a direct and precise strike would do.
Easy and relaxed.
Asher couldn't even be bothered to care more.
Rather than wasting energy on that, better to take advantage of Flame Emperor still being around and arrange more battles between Little Raven and Flame Emperor.
"Smoke screen! Then use Flame Sun!"
The final blow.
A pillar of scorching flame burst out from the sky full of black smoke, attempting to use the obstructed vision to fish in troubled waters and hit Flame Emperor.
"Dodge! Counterattack!"
"Blazing Breath!"
Clyde wasn't to be underestimated. The moment he heard Asher's command, he reacted, even more cautiously.
After fighting against Asher so many times, Clyde was crystal clear about Asher's battle habits, Asher never calls out his real killing move.
This is allowed in formal beast battles.
As long as the pet can receive the Beast Tamer's instructions, but not every Beast Tamer can do this.
So silently activating a skill is considered an advanced technique in the coordination between Beast Tamer and pet.
Clyde could do it too.
His coordination and proficiency with Flame Emperor were also not low.
But in front of Asher… Clyde lightly bit the flesh of his own cheek.
'Can't relax.'
As long as the battle hasn't ended, there's no time to relax, otherwise, a single careless mistake could lead to a major screw-up.
Forget about himself, even Flame Emperor wouldn't be able to accept that.
Blazing flames clashed with more flames.
Half the sky was dyed dazzling red.
"Wow!"
"So magnificent!"
"If you didn't know, you'd think this was a cloud on fire."
"The residents nearby must be used to this, right?"
"The nearest company to our research institute is a good twenty minutes away, and residential buildings are half an hour away, at most it's just a little light pollution, nothing serious."
A group of employees with totally used-to-it expressions surrounded the scene, discussing it one sentence at a time.
All just small problems.
Freya, who had just finished today's training with the Flame Dragon Jaeger, walked over and heard the voices of these people discussing. She cast them a glance.
'So leisurely, huh.'
By the way, Freya was also a bit curious, 'How did Asher manage to gather such a group of people?'
Asher: '…Would you believe me if I said "fate"?'
Anyway, it just inexplicably came together.
The result of the battle, as expected, Little Raven lay on the ground.
But what was surprising was that this time Flame Emperor wasn't completely unscathed either.
At the tip of Flame Emperor's wing, there was a slightly darkened spot.
That was where Little Raven's flame had struck, leaving a mark as it grazed past.
Although it looked like just a little bit, for both Little Raven and Asher, this was a major improvement.
"Little Raven, nicely done!"
"Just a little more and we could've taught him a lesson!"
Asher picked up Little Raven and said seriously.
In a semi-conscious state, Little Raven, who still had a bit of breath left, lifted one wing excitedly when he heard Asher's words, only to flop back down the next second.
'Can't move, can't move.'
She really had no strength left at all.
Asher chuckled and placed Little Raven into the medical pod.
Seeing the Cat-Worm spinning circles outside, Asher laughed and picked up the Cat-Worm.
"What?"
"You want to go lie in there too?"
"It's not like I can't fulfill your wish. Should I arrange it for you right now?", Asher looked at Cat-Worm with a serious face.
Cat-Worm: "..."
Cat-Worm stomped on Asher a few times with its little feet, some of those kicks had quite a bit of strength, possibly petty revenge.
Then Cat-Worm suddenly broke free from Asher's hands and landed directly on the ground.
Cat-Worm turned back, raised its head, and looked at Asher with a pair of messy line-shaped eyes: "Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!"
'This dragon is currently comprehending! Digesting! Training! Growing stronger!'
'Don't disturb this dragon at this critical moment!'
Asher raised both hands, "Okay, okay, whatever you say."
Cat-Worm turned around proudly and marched off like a victorious general, full of pride.
Asher: 'Ahem, can't help but want to laugh.'
Good thing he held it back.
If he really laughed, Cat-Worm would definitely challenge him to a fight today.
"I should be leaving in the next couple of days," Clyde walked over after Asher and Cat-Worm finished their interaction and said.
"These past few days, thank you for your help, Professor Asher," Clyde said sincerely.
He really hadn't expected it, how long had it even been?
From the end of May to the beginning of June, half a month?
The power of Flame Emperor's flame had genuinely increased significantly, something that had never happened before.
Clyde felt like he had picked up a huge bargain, successfully taking a shortcut.
While feeling secretly pleased, he also tried hard to restrain himself.
Can't just rely on shortcuts. The coordination between himself and his pet was also a critical aspect.
Private training was also indispensable.
Asher merely gave him a starting point, the rest would depend on him and Flame Emperor.
"That Flame Crystal… is there still more?", Clyde couldn't help but ask.
Flame Emperor's flame had improved.
But he still had another Flame Dragon, Flame Sovereign.
Although Flame Sovereign didn't hold as high a place in Clyde's heart as Flame Emperor, that didn't mean Flame Sovereign wasn't important.
Just that if it came down to choosing between Flame Sovereign and Flame Emperor, Clyde would resolutely choose Flame Emperor, that's all.
As a Beast Tamer, Clyde still wanted all his pets to become stronger, that's how his strength would truly improve.
Asher wasn't surprised by Clyde's words.
He knew what these people were like.
Time was extremely precious.
Staying in one place for a month was almost impossible, staying for this half month was already near Clyde's limit.
"Hehehe!", Before Asher could say anything, Freya grinned smugly.
"Go on, go on, leave quickly! Then I'll get to monopolize Professor Asher!"
"I want to seize this chance to learn a few more moves from Professor Asher."
"So next time I battle you… hehehe!"
Freya left it at that.
Clyde could already imagine the rest of her thoughts.
His expression gradually turned serious.
Although…
If his little sister really became stronger than him thanks to Asher's help… tsk.
Clyde glanced at his vacation days for the year.
'Okay. Not much left.'
'Damn it.'
That's the trouble with being an Tier 8 Ace Beast Tamer.
Clyde sighed.
Freya laughed even more arrogantly.
Being relaxed was joyful.
If she could also witness her brother's gloom and misfortune, Freya would be even happier.
"Then I'll look forward to it," Clyde quickly adjusted his mindset, then cast a seemingly gentle, but in Freya's eyes extremely provocative look.
"I believe my adorable sister will become an Tier 8 Beast Tamer before the end of the year, right?"
Clyde kept adding fuel to the fire, "Then at next year's national tournament, maybe you can challenge my Ace position."
"Doesn't that fill you with motivation?"
Freya: "..."
Her fists were clenched tight.
"Damn it!", Freya shouted angrily, waving her fists at Clyde, "Next year! Just you wait!"
"At most four years!"
"I'll definitely challenge you fair and square on the battlefield!"
Watching his jumping-and-yelling little sister threatening him, Clyde's previously gloomy mood suddenly brightened.
He gave Freya a tolerant smile, "Alright."
Then placed one hand on Little Bump Bean's head.
Asher: "..."
Asher shook his head.
'So this is the legendary love-hate sibling relationship, huh!'
He doesn't get it.
Just as Asher was preparing for Clyde's departure in the next few days, and Clyde himself didn't expect any surprises. On the day Clyde was about to leave, but hadn't yet, Sarah, who was in charge of external affairs, suddenly received a call.
"Eh?"
"Now?"
"Wait wait wait! That's not how normal appointments are made!"
Sarah spoke loudly. In a few sentences, Asher, Clyde, and Freya who were walking over, more or less understood what was going on.
You had to make an appointment to meet Asher.
The word "advance" was essential.
But this… this couldn't even be called an appointment, at most just an early notification.
And not even a proper one.
Click—
The call was abruptly ended.
Sarah looked a bit awkward holding the phone.
"It's fine," Seeing this, Asher stepped forward to comfort her, "Who was it?"
It had been a long time since Asher had encountered someone this domineering.
"Uh…", Sarah looked troubled.
Her gaze moved from Asher to Clyde and Freya not far away.
The siblings: "?"
What?
Could it be related to them?
For some reason, the siblings looked at each other, feeling like they had forgotten something.
Hmm… what did they forget?
"The caller said they're not here for Professor Asher, but specifically to find Mr. Clyde and Miss Freya."
"They just want to borrow the institute's grounds for landing."
As Sarah finished speaking, a little light bulb seemed to light up above Clyde and Freya's heads.
As realization dawned, both of them wore expressions of headache, toothache, and all-over ache.
"Brother! Let's leave right now!"
"Totally agree! Right now!"
Saying that, the two exchanged a glance, reached consensus instantly, and lifted their legs to run.
Didn't even have time to explain to Asher.
"We'll call you after we're in the air to explain, Professor Asher," Freya waved while running.
Asher was thoroughly confused.
Unfortunately, though they reacted quickly, someone was even faster than them.
"HEY—"
From the air came a loud voice, amplified like it was through a speaker.
"Big Bro-in-law!"
"Little Freya!"
"Did you miss me!"
"Hahaha! Yours truly finally completed the mission and returned triumphant," A maniacal laugh echoed in the sky, lingering like a haunting refrain, truly not exaggerating.
Asher: "..."
Clyde and Freya: "..."
Other staff at the institute: "..."
Every single one showed dead-fish eyes.
"What is this? A premium-grade chunnibyo?"
"Chunnibyo! Way too chunnibyo! Does he not have even a shred of… shame?", Eliana frowned as she spoke, her expression especially awkward.
Yes, she was cringing on someone else's behalf.
Putting herself in the shoes of the ones being greeted, Eliana felt like she wanted to die.
Thankfully, she didn't have friends this level of Chunnibyo.
Eliana cast a look toward Levi, 'You're not going to become this kind of person in the future, right?'
Levi, somehow, suddenly received and understood the message in Eliana's eyes.
He shook his head and waved frantically.
'No no no!'
Though he was indeed an Chunnibyo…
He wasn't chunnibyo to this degree.
Not only socially dead himself, he dragged his friends into social death too.
What kind of overpowered ability is that?
The named Clyde and Freya both wore expressions of "the person is dead."
No escape.
Too late.
Lightyear Dragon Rider landed.
A flamboyantly dressed, magically styled, slightly "Shamate," but somehow still trendy thanks to his outstanding looks, handsome guy jumped down from above.
Asher: "?"
This string of strange and bizarre adjectives… There was no helping it, this was just Asher's first impression of this person.
"This is…", Asher looked toward Freya beside him, whose expression looked like she wanted to die, and asked.
Asher hadn't forgotten.
Just now, this person had called Clyde "brother-in-law"?
So…
"Professor Asher, don't misunderstand! I have nothing to do with this guy!"
"Absolutely nothing to do with him!"
Understanding the gossiping meaning in Asher's gaze, Freya was so scared that she immediately crossed her hands and gestured a big.
Afraid that if she explained a second too late, she would get entangled in some unclear relationship with this person.
