My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 197 - 196: Awakened! Hunting Time!
Chapter 197 -196: Awakened! Hunting Time!
“Teacher Ren, our girls from the School of Literature won’t be holding back in this competition,” said the team leader from Yundu School of Literature, extending her right hand.
Seeing Teacher Bald Strong had no reaction, she feigned realization and extended her left hand. “Oh! Look, I forgot your right hand is a bit inconvenient.”
A smile of indistinct meaning spread across her lips as she stared directly into Teacher Bald Strong’s eyes, without a hint of apology.
The spirit of pettiness within Teacher Bald Strong ignited furiously in an instant.
He let out a hearty laugh and reached out to grasp the hand of the somewhat conservatively dressed middle-aged female teacher. “Haha, Teacher He is just kidding. Our boys are resilient.”
As Teacher Bald Strong tightly grasped her hand, Teacher He’s mouth twitched. She tried to pull her hand away, but his grip was iron-tight, infuriatingly coupled with that provoking smile on his face.
Inside the preliminaries’ management office, the person in charge quickly spoke up when he noticed the atmosphere between the two teachers was off. “Teacher He, Teacher Ren, since the matters are dealt with, shall we head out and get ready?”
“Yes!”
Teacher He from Yundu School of Literature forced a smile, squeezing out a single word through clenched teeth.
In her heart, she was certain that her School of Literature would win the preliminaries today. Su City University was just a university from a remote city, having never achieved notable results in previous competitions.
Even if the School of Literature didn’t focus much on practical skills, they had placed several ranks higher than Su City University in previous years.
Besides, she had specifically arranged for a student union officer to call in a cheerleading squad, which alone could overpower them in spirit.
Thinking of this, Teacher He felt much better. She moved her hands behind her back for a stretch and followed the person in charge out of the office.
The moment they opened the office door, cheers reached their ears.
The trio was slightly startled. Judging by the noise, there seemed to be more than just a few dozen people at the venue.
The person in charge turned to look at Teacher He, who was also a bit confused.
Perhaps the student union officer had overperformed, even bringing in the girls’ boyfriends to add to the crowd?
Thinking it over, such a scenario was indeed possible.
Teacher He smiled at the person in charge and nodded, casting a smug glance at Teacher Bald Strong before striding confidently toward the exit.
Boom!
As they stepped out of the corridor, a deafening wave of noise hit them face-on.
Teacher He’s eyes were dazzled by the gymnasium’s dome lights, and she gazed somewhat dazedly at the scene before her.
The entire gymnasium’s spectator stands were filled with hundreds of people, and more were continually arriving.
They were incessantly shouting, holding various LED signs and banners.
Teacher He’s face gradually darkened as she realized the situation was not as she had anticipated.
…
In the center of the venue, several staff members were moving tables and setting up a temporary podium.
“Good kid, you really make me proud,” Teacher Bald Strong said, his face full of joy as he walked over to the Su City University prep area and playfully punched Shao Zifeng in the chest.
He looked up at the surrounding audience waving signs and felt as if he had grown ten years younger.
Satisfying.
Shao Zifeng looked disdainfully at the increasingly unreliable Teacher Bald Strong. “Alright, got any tactical plans?”
“Tactical plans?” Teacher Bald Strong was startled, then a surge of energy enveloped him. “Haha, what plans? Just go up there and slug it out!”
Watching Teacher Bald Strong attempt to cover his unpreparedness with an awkward laugh, Shao Zifeng gave him a look he had learned from Qiuqiu.
It was like looking at a pile of rubbish!
“Hey, hey! Can you hear me?”
“Crackle!”
The sound of harsh electronic feedback echoed above the gymnasium, bringing the venue to a momentary silence, followed by several people cursing at the poor quality of the equipment.
Standing on the temporary platform, the referee shrank his neck and, steeling himself, said, “There are five minutes until the start of the match. This match will adopt a ‘pre-match lottery draw mode’, please have the team captains come up to draw.”
Zifeng nodded to his teammates and stood up to walk towards the temporary lottery stand in the center of the field.
As Zifeng, dressed in his team uniform, appeared from the preparation area, the stands erupted into screams again, with the brother who had met Zifeng twice being the most enthusiastic.
Zifeng’s face stiffened as he waved at them, eliciting another round of screams.
The captain of the Yundu Literary College was a girl with short hair and ordinary looks; she wore a purple team uniform. Upon seeing Zifeng, she paused slightly and then a look of realization dawned on her.
No wonder those junior girls were so crazy.
Heh.
Shallow women.
What’s so good about stinky men when delicate little sisters are not fragrant?
Seeing that both team captains were in place, the referee, holding a microphone, announced, “Team captains, please greet each other.”
Zifeng and the short-haired girl each bowed and waited for the next instruction.
“The team ranked lower in the previous session will draw the lot. The paper cannot be changed once it is drawn from the box. Are there any objections?”
Zifeng and the short-haired girl looked at each other and shook their heads indicating no objections.
“Please, Su City University’s… Bear Team Captain Zifeng to draw,” the referee stuttered slightly as he read from the cue card.
This was his first time seeing someone giving such a name to their school’s team.

Laughter of good nature also erupted from the spectator stands; Bald Qiang rubbed his chin proudly, very satisfied.
Zifeng slightly pursed his lips and reached into the paper box, casually grabbing a slip of paper and handing it to the referee.
The referee took the slip, opened it and after glancing at it said, “Now, I’ll announce the result of this draw for the match…”
At this moment, everyone from Su City University tensed up.
Hu Shiwu had his eyes tightly closed, hands crossed and pressed against his forehead, muttering, “Amitabha… Confucius bless… Infinite Heavenly Lord… Amen.”
Casar held his hands together and gently kissed his stacked thumbs, praying in a manner unique to his ethnicity.
Li Yiming looked around to see that he was apparently the only one doing nothing.
Just standing there doing nothing wasn’t quite right either.
He nervously pulled at the hem of his team uniform, hurriedly closed his eyes, and murmured, “Brother Shao, please protect… Please, not a team match…”
Bald Qiang, seeing the reactions of the young ones, smiled but the fists he clenched revealed that he too was not at ease.
The referee, seeing that enough suspense had built up, announced, “Traditional confrontational match!”
As he spoke, he lifted the slip of paper in his hand toward the camera to demonstrate fairness.
The large screen at the edge of the field instantly displayed the contents of the slip of paper.
“Team captains, please return to your positions, the match will start in two minutes.”
Zifeng shook hands again with the short-haired girl and walked towards Su City University’s preparation area.
Just then, a figure suddenly lunged at him; Zifeng agilely dodged, causing Hu Shiwu to stagger nearly falling to the ground.
“What are you doing?” Zifeng reached out to stabilize Hu Shiwu.
“Haha! Captain, I’m just so happy,” Hu Shiwu didn’t mind and grinned widely, “Captain, let me play in the first match?”
“Can you handle it?” Zifeng looked at him skeptically.
If he remembered correctly, Shiwu’s pet beast was a slow-moving plant-type mutant creature.
Hu Shiwu, grinning cheekily, gave him an awkward salute, “I promise to complete the mission!”
With Zifeng’s permission, Hu Shiwu’s mouth curled up.
“Awakened! The Hunting Moment!”
