"The school has specialized Medical Beasts, so there's no need to worry. Besides, you did nothing wrong; in that situation, you should have acted decisively, just as you did.

"Uh... I understand," Chen Xing nodded humbly.
A smile appeared on Kuang Shiyi's face—his bald-headed grin seemed more frequent lately—"You performed well this time, earning the school some honor. Based on your combat performance just now, you seem to have a talent for battle."
"There are many Beast Tamers who talk a big game before a fight, very proficient in theory, but they fall apart once the real combat starts, always a step behind."
