Teacher, your wig is crooked (Part 2)

Watching Riley's retreating figure, the head teacher, worried, added, "Make sure to study well at home too. There's not much time left for the high school entrance exam. As soon as your mom gets better, come back."

Riley turned to look at the head teacher and playfully remarked, "Teacher, your wig is crooked."

The head teacher: "..."

Female teacher: "..."

At the Enchantia City

Revolution Spirit Beast Dueling Club.

"How much does it cost to hire a junior practice partner for a day at your club?"

"Hello, we charge by the hour for practice partners. The hourly rate for a junior partner is 1,000 League Coins. If you want to book a full day, we can offer a 2% discount," the receptionist said with a smile.

Spirit Beast Dueling Clubs, catering to the popular industry in today's society, offer practice partners based on customers' preferences and budgets, covering various neighborhoods in all sizes.

In some high-end Spirit Beast Dueling Clubs, if you have the money, you can even hire an S-level Beast Tamer as your practice partner, although such clubs are rare.

Revolution Spirit Beast Dueling Club was the fifth club Riley had visited.

The reason for trying so many clubs was simple: he didn't have enough money.

Riley checked his pockets, which held his meager belongings, and silently walked out while holding his Fire Dog in his arms.

He felt a bit lost and unsure of where to go next.

He had initially taken a laid-back approach to St. Angela High School, hoping to pass the special admissions test.

But if not, he had a backup plan at the No. 6 Beast Tamer High School, so it wasn't the end of the world.

However, now after knowing what happened to his mother, he wanted to attend this school.

The special admissions test for St. Angela High School would take place in 10 days, and he wasn't sure if he could pass the minimum score line in the high school entrance exam at his current level.

To secure admission from the second to the fifth position, he needed to score 50 points above the minimum threshold, which Riley wasn't confident about.

Given the circumstances, he decided to aim for the special admissions test with the goal of achieving the lowest cutoff score by taking the first position.

With this decision, he needed to advance the training of his Fire Dog.

Even though the Fire Dog was a Fire-type Spirit Beast with strong attack power, it was still a young cub with limited battle experience.

The previous victory had been swift mainly due to the 2v1 advantage and the opponent's slow reactions.

Securing the first position in just 10 days was a challenging task.

If he spent all his time at school, it would be a waste of time. He could self-study and simultaneously train his Fire Dog.

Thanks to his "golden finger," he could rapidly improve the combat power of his Spirit Beast through battles.

Riley had a plan in mind, but as he stepped out, he realized that things were more complicated than he thought.

While there were many Spirit Beast Battles and competitions of various sizes, they had various requirements.

Some competitions required the Beast Tamer's level.

Spirit Beast Battles were also about attracting viewers and earning ticket revenue.

Newbie Beast Tamers usually had only a Junior Spirit Beast, limited moves, and didn't make for exciting matches.

If the audience wasn't interested, the organizers wouldn't make much profit.

Riley checked and found that the next competition in Enchantia City that allowed F-level Beast Tamers to participate would be held on June 30th.

The organizers had timed it well, as by that time, most of the third-year students would have completed their high school entrance exams, and many would have contracted their Spirit Beasts.

A significant number of new Beast Tamers would undoubtedly sign up.

Additionally, with their parents, schoolteachers, and various friends and family members as the audience base, the viewership would not be low.
