Chapter 71: The Youngest Elite Beast Tamer

“Ireland Gym, Victor Gym and Starlux Gym…”

“All the Beast-taming gyms in my base city have been included in the name list of the first batch of Beast-taming gyms to be closed.”

Looking at the announcement posted on the Beast Tamer Association’s official website, Giles finally found the answer to the question that had puzzled him for a long time .

No wonder no Beast Tamer came to Starlux Gym today to borrow the training ground even though it’s almost noon.

The Beast-taming Gym is temporarily closed for the time being. This concerns whether or not Beast Tamers have any venues to train their spirit beasts.

When the Beast Tamers learned of this news, they probably ran over to the Beast Tamer Association’s various divisions in the base city to protest.

“But why did the Beast Tamer Association suddenly announce that they would close all the Beast-taming Gyms?”

Regarding the matter of “Beast-taming Gyms temporarily closing”, Giles could not figure out the Beast Tamer Association’s intentions.

He opened the main page of Starlux Gym again and tried to find some clues from the notifications sent by the Beast Tamer Association, but he still found nothing.

“Before this, there hasn’t been any news about temporarily closing the gym. Is the Beast Tamer Association about to make a big move?”

Thinking of this, Giles shook his head resignedly and exited Starlux Gym’s main page.

“Forget it, I won’t think about it too much first.”

In Giles’ opinion, these questions were not for him to think about.

He was only managing Starlux Gym on behalf of Alice, and was not actually the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.

The most important thing now was to resolve the Little Golden Eagle’s problem and the issue with his body.

“Since the Beast Tamer Association has announced that they’re going to close the gym for the time being, I better close the door of the gym first.”

“Otherwise, it will be troublesome if someone barges in.”

Giles walked out from the reception area of the gym and was about to close the door to Starlux Gym when he heard a familiar voice.

“Giles, long time no see!”

It was noon, and the sun outside was as glaring as ever.

Giles, who was looking out the door, squinted his eyes and realized that the person who had greeted him was an elderly man with a white beard.

“Mr Rex? Why are you here?”

Giles was surprised to see that it was Mr Rex, the person who had posted a mission online for him.

When the beast tide erupted last year and attacked the city, Mr Rex and his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, became heroes in protecting the city.

Furthermore, he was one of the commanders of the City Guards in this base city. At the same time, he was responsible for maintaining the security and order around Giles’ area.

After the Beast Tamer Association announced that the Beast-taming Gyms would be closed, there would probably be quite a number of Beast Tamers gathered at the Beast Tamer Association Branches nearby to protest.

However, as the Commander of the City Guards responsible for maintaining order, Mr Rex had appeared outside Starlux Gym.

Moreover, looking at his current expression, he seemed to be quite happy. He could even greet Giles as usual.

Giles, who was surprised and curious about this, looked at Rex and asked subconsciously, “Mr Rex, shouldn’t the City Guards be very busy today?”

“Hmm? You mean the matter of a group of Beast Tamers gathered at the different branches of the Beast Tamer Association to protest?”

Giles was puzzled by Rex’s relaxed attitude when he answered the question.

“Our base city has twelve Beast Tamer Association branches. It’s only been one morning, but they’ve already been dealt with?”

“Haha, Giles, this is because you lack experience.”

Rex stroked his white beard and smiled as if everything was under control. He was smiling so much that it formed even more wrinkles on his face.

“Although our City Guards are under the jurisdiction of the Beast Tamer Alliance and we aren’t sure what your Beast Tamer Association is planning to do by suddenly issuing an announcement for the Beast-taming Gyms to temporarily close its doors, the Beast Tamer Association will always inform our City Guards in advance to make preparations before such a huge move.”

“Besides, your Beast-taming Gym is only temporarily closed. It’s not like the Gym Leaders aren’t around.”

“In the past, no matter which district had Beast Tamers causing trouble, it was always the Gym Leaders and our City Guards who dealt with it. Today is naturally no exception.”

“After the various Gym Leaders rushed to the scene to help our City Guards maintain order, the Beast Tamer Association also proposed to open the training area of the Beast-taming Gym and provide the training grounds for the Beast Tamers.”

After hearing Rex’s explanation, Giles caught onto another piece of information.

“In other words, apart from the training ground provided to the Beast Tamer, the other projects and areas are temporarily closed?”

“Yeah… this should be what the Beast Tamer Association wants.”

Giles’ sudden question stumped Rex.

After some thought, Rex suddenly mentioned a person to Giles.

“However, you can ask Her Excellency Hash about the specific situation after she comes.”

“Her Excellency Hash?”

Giles subconsciously repeated the name Rex had mentioned.

He suddenly felt that this name was familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

However, Giles was certain that he had never seen this person before.

“Oh, by the way, Giles, the other gym leaders of our base city have already met with Her Excellency Hash two days ago.”

“Because you haven’t been in Starlux Gym recently, I brought Her Excellency Hash here today.”

Rex also knew that Giles had never met Hash before, so he began to introduce her to Giles.

“As the newly promoted Elite Beast Tamer this year, Her Excellency had broken the record at the age of 25 and was evaluated as the youngest Elite Beast Tamer.”

“Now that she has come to our base city to be the deputy commander of the City Guard’s high wall in the outer city, she is an indispensable force for us in fighting off the beast tide in the future.”

“Today, when the Beast Tamer Association’s Division near your Starlux Gym was blocked by a group of protesting Beast Tamers at the door, it was also with the help of Her Excellency Hash that our City Guards were able to maintain order in the venue so quickly.”

After introducing “Her Excellency Hash”, Rex even lowered his voice and hinted to Giles, “Giles, as an elite Beast Tamer, Her Excellency Hash has a lot of say in your Beast Tamer Association.”

“If you can prove your strength to her, then she can help you confirm your identity as the acting gym leader.”

Giles was wondering if he had heard the name ‘Hash’ before, but Rex’s last sentence reminded him.

Right now, Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, had been away for many days, and he, the so-called “acting Gym Leader”, had fainted because of the accident this morning.

In addition, after he returned yesterday, he did not receive any news from the Beast Tamer Association, so he did not know that Starlux Gym would be temporarily closed from today onwards.

Therefore, when the door of the Beast Tamer Association’s nearby branch was blocked by a group of protesting Beast Tamers, he was unable to rush over to the scene to help the City Guards maintain order like the gym leaders of the other districts.

“In that case, it seems that this Excellency Hash whom I’ve never met before has helped me greatly.”
