Chapter 42 – Raillow 2.0
"500 points three times!" Exclaimed one of the contestants. He was shocked.
"You are shocked with just that? That red wolf only scratches lightly and the score is 500! That is much more shocking!" Another contestant exclaimed.
"Is that a common red wolf???" another contestant questioned.
"It looks like one but I don't think so," said another contestant.
"…" Ross and Qin Yun were speechless. Marcus in his disguise walked away with the Hell Fenrir trotted cutely by his side. Marcus glanced around with a proud face when his gaze met Qin Yun, he stopped for a second and smiled at Qin Yun.
"He knows you?" Ross asked. Although he was part of the Fairy Clan, he was just a lowly member of the clan. He knew of Marcus and had seen him a few times before since they were of the same age but he did not know him personally.
"We are the genius of the younger generation of the clan. Even if we don't know each other personally, we know most of the information about another genius," said Qin Yun and he added, "That red wolf cub is not his main pet. If I am not mistaken, his main pet is the Sun Fenrir. A Tier 9 monster at early Teen Stage," Qin Yun told them what he knew about Marcus.
"That red wolf cub is in disguise too. It is the Hell Fenrir. A Tier 9 monster," Qin Yun told them about the red wolf cub. "In its real form, the Hell Fenrir was as big as an elephant with fiery red fur. When it gets angry, everything around it will be burned to ashes."
Qin Yun told them about the identity of Hell Fenrir but Ross and Lucas knew it from the beginning. Ross had seen a picture of Hell Fenrir so he knew the real appearance of the monster. He also knew that Marcus had the Hell Fenrir too and that red wolf cub was the Hell Fenrir.
Knowing other geniuses did not only apply to the other geniuses but also the other members of the clan. Knowing their 'rivals' would be a huge advantage for them.
Lucas did not know that the Hell Fenrir was in disguise. He thought that it was still a baby and thus, it looked like that. Qin Yun continued, "If I am not mistaken, he got that Hell Fenrir a few months ago. I think that he enters this competition to test his Hell Fenrir."
"Or maybe to show off," Ross added. "Look at that smug and proud face he has. Psst~ I will show him how high the sky is," Ross said confidently. Lucas and Qin Yun glanced at him.
Sensing their gazes, Ross added, "I am not a hidden genius or something like that. I am a hard worker and I am confident I can beat his score. This is a competition and he thought he could undermine other tamers with that half-ass effort?"
Lucas and Qin Yun glanced at each other. "His pride will crumble when he loses at this low-level competition," Ross smirked evilly.
[This guy must have some kind of trump card. Look at his confidence. If we are at the nursery, I will read his memory to find out what he is thinking] Sery was curious.
'Well, from the way he talked, he must have some kind of bad memory with the clan's geniuses…' Lucas thought and he seemed to have some kind of 'nice' idea in mind.
[From the way you talk, you are not aiming to win? You are going to let this Ross guy win this competition?] Sery asked.
'Since he had some kind of beef with these geniuses and had the chance to have a payback, why not let him?' Lucas thought. […] Sery was silent and suddenly, a new system notification appeared in front of Lucas.
'What the?' He was surprised and read the notification.
[Mission: The Best You Can
Details: Do your best in the Gallock Power Competition
Rewards: 10 Attack Stat Breaker Pill
Warning: If you are not doing your best, there will be punishment
Punishment: Lucas and Pets will lose half of their stat points]
When Lucas read the mission, he was shocked. 'What is this, Sery?'
[I know you are kind but I don't agree with your kindness in this situation. I don't want my master to be kind to everything. Him winning against the Marcus guy is enough but for you to let him win the competition is a no-no to me] Sery explained. He would not let his Master turn like that.
Lucas was silent. He thought it through and Sery was right. Even if he may not win the competition, he should at least do his best. Not being half-hearted like that.
After that, the competition continued. More and more contestants went forward and hit the mechanical log but none of them surpassed the no 1 and no 2 on the leaderboard. All of them were far from that score.
As time passed, it was finally Lucas and Qin Yun turned. As the contestants came forward in a group of five, Ross who was number 81 was in the next group. Lucas came forward with Fury on his head and Foody by his side. Foody had finished whatever he was doing with the baked fish cake. Foody went in front of Lucas.
When the spectators and contestants saw Foody, they all knew that Lucas was one of those that came to try his luck. A Plate Monkey would not be able to rival the other pets. The Plate Monkey was not an offensive pet and the Power Competition was focused on offensive type pets.
As Qin Yun came forward, he summoned Raillow, his precious Seven Stripes Cat. When Raillow was summoned, everyone exclaimed in surprise as usual. Marcus watched Qin Yun with a smirk. He knew that he would win the competition.
'I am feeling bad about participating in this low-level competition. Well~ The clan sent me here without telling me a reason and I have a right to dominate everything in this city!' Marcus thought with a smile.
Raillow was still the same as before. Only three out of seven of its stripes were filled with color. He did not get any new element and his rank was low too but thanks to the many training sessions done at the nursery, most of its stats were at maximum.
Not only that, Raillow had improved his skills too. His skills were now much more powerful than before. More than that, Qin Yun followed the way Lucas trained his pet, letting the pet reach the maximum in everything before letting them advance in rank. Thus, Raillow's skills were at a high level too.
"Raillow! Fiery Scratch!" Qin Yun gave his order to Raillow. Raillow's nail glowed in red and suddenly, fire engulfed Raillow's arm and formed a big fiery arm with the big fiery nails. The red flame looked hot and intense.
Marcus squinted his eyes, 'Improved Fiery Scratch?!' he was surprised. It was not easy to improve a skill and not only that, but Qin Yun was still a kid and he managed to do it. 'Did his family help him?' thought Marcus.
Marcus was not the only one who was shocked, Ross and many other contestants were the same too. However, their shock disappeared immediately when they knew that Qin Yun was part of the Phoenix Clan thanks to his emblem. Someone from the S-Rank Clan would surely be strong.
'Hmm~ considering that the cat is at Newborn Stage Rank 3… I think he will not pose a threat to my score,' Marcus predicted. He did not feel threatened at all. Even those at higher rank could not reach his score and Qin Yun's Rank 3 cat was far from that.
"MEOW!!!" Raillow roared and he ran towards the mechanical log. Once he was in front of it, Raillow swung his arm at the mechanical log. The log was engulfed with intense red fire and then, the red fire exploded, shocking everyone including Ross, Marcus, Lucas, and even those at the Child Stage Category.
Qin Yun smiled and he looked at the screen for his score. His score increased from 1 to 10 to 100 to 200 to 300 to 400 and slowly creeped towards 500 and finally stopped at 502 shocking everyone. Qin Yun smirked at Marcus.
'Is that even an improved fiery scratch?! That is a freaking new skill!' Marcus' mind was blown away. A Newborn Stage Rank 3 pet could get a 500 score. That was unbelievable.
Raillow had gone through intense training at the nursery dungeon. With his A-grade potential, his growth was astonishing. Since he could only use the training service once in four days, he could not improve that much but it was still a super improvement.
"…" Ross was speechless. He thought that Marcus was the only monster in the competition but Qin Yun was the same too. More to that, Qin Yun's pet was much more amazing. It made a 500 score at low-rank when most low-rank pets could at most score a 100 plus.
The fire engulfing the mechanical log disappeared and the log looked fine. A 500 score would not be able to destroy the log. Even so, it was an amazing sight. The staff was shocked when the flame engulfed the log but when they saw the score, they knew the log was fine.
After that, Raillow made his second hit but the score was below 500. It was 423. Way below the first hit. The third was around the same as the second. Marcus' eyes twitched. 'That was the cat's strongest hit.'
No matter how low the second and third hit, the rules said that they would take the highest score, and thus, Qin Yun was now at the top with his 502 scores. Qin Yun was proud. Since Qin Yun's performance was too remarkable, none of the contestants at the same round as him including Lucas had hit the log because they were all watching Qin Yun.
[Hehehe~ there you go~ the cheat power of the Nursery System] Sery was proud. Super proud. If Lucas got that score, he would not be proud because Lucas's circumstances were different than Qin Yun. Qin Yun was the first customer to have shown tremendous improvement after using the nursery's services.
