Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

On the other side, in a medical room of the stadium, Charles slowly covered Celestine with a blanket and said with concern:

“Make sure to rest well, the next match is about to start, and in your current condition, you won’t be able to continue fighting.”

In fact, Charles strongly disagreed with Celestine’s choice. In his view, Celestine was quite capable, even when facing Grace, if she had simply chosen to forfeit, she would have had a good chance of advancing in the losers’ bracket.

If luck were on her side later, she might even compete for one of the final five spots.

“I don’t regret it, Charles. My talent is just average, compared to many geniuses, I’m not particularly outstanding.” Celestine said earnestly.

This was not false consolation, it was a genuine thought from deep within Celestine’s heart.

In the past, she had believed she was a genius, a once-in-a-million kind of genius.

However, after coming to Genosha, she had seen far too many geniuses who were stronger than her, like the Level 5 Beast Master Luna and Finn, who had mastered multiple combat techniques. Of course, the most extraordinary of them all was Charles!

Celestine was acutely aware that if she missed this opportunity to fight Grace, she might never get another chance.

Charles’s strength would only continue to grow, and it wouldn’t be long before he became a Level 5 or even Level 6 Beast Master. By then, she would still be a Level 4 Beast Master, completely unable to help Charles in any way.

There wasn’t much she could do, but she was determined not to miss this opportunity to battle Grace, and she did not want to choose surrender.

Fortunately, even though she lost the match, she had still managed to injure Grace.

“If only my strength were a bit stronger, I might have been able to defeat Grace.” Celestine said with a frown, a hint of regret in her voice.

Charles gently reached out and smoothed Celestine’s furrowed brow, slowly saying:

“Actually, the gap between you and her isn’t that big. You just lack a lot of combat experience and awareness, with some training, you’ll improve.”

Upon hearing Charles’s words, Celestine’s eyes lit up. She leaned her head slightly against his hand and gazed intently at Charles as she said:

“Really? That’s wonderful! If I get the chance in the future, I want to go out and gain more experience.”

Time flew by quickly, and there were more matches to continue, there wasn’t much time left for Charles and Celestine.

Fortunately, Celestine’s injuries had healed significantly, allowing Charles to leave with peace of mind to continue competing.

Celestine urged Charles to go and kindly reminded him to wipe the blood off his face before he left.

When Charles walked out of the medical room, Celestine wanted to say something but ended up closing her mouth.

Until Charles completely disappeared from her sight, Celestine muttered to herself with a hint of disappointment:

“I’m not foolish, Charles. I’m just afraid I can’t do anything for you.”

“Camilla is the second princess of Genosha, with a prestigious identity and decent talent.”

“Luna is an incredibly talented Beast Master, she will be able to accompany you much further in the future.”

“Charles, your talent is extraordinary, you are destined for an extraordinary life. I might find it hard to keep up with you. Before long, you might leave Genosha for broader horizons.”

“I will miss you so much, but I can’t hold you back, that would be too selfish. I just want to do more for you, to have you spend more time with me.”

Celestine’s voice grew softer, her tone gradually lowering, and by the end, she was choking back tears.

From the moment she first met Charles, she had various grievances against him.

Then, after returning to Genosha Calivia and encountering Charles again, she found herself completely unable to part from him without even realizing it.

As Charles’s performances became increasingly remarkable, he became Genosha’s most famous genius Beast Master, a hero of Genosha.

Celestine began to worry, thinking that in the future, Camilla and Luna might be better options for him.

Yet, she simply couldn’t let go.

With that thought, Celestine took a deep breath and slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“No matter what, in order to be with you in the future, I will work hard to improve my strength and do my best to keep up with you!” A determined voice slowly echoed in the empty medical room.

…

“Oh my gosh, what’s going on? Grace’s luck is just too bad, she definitely won’t be able to win against this opponent.”

“That’s for sure, this is Luna we’re talking about!”

“She just defeated Celestine and now faces Luna, Grace is really having a rough time.”

“Luna is a Level 5 Beast Master, Grace was already no match for her, and now she’s injured from the previous match. It looks like she’s finished.”

“That’s not necessarily true. If Grace chooses to forfeit the match and enters the loser’s bracket, she will definitely have a chance to secure a spot to advance!”

The noisy discussions erupted around her as Grace stared at the large screen in the stadium, clenching her fists tightly. She never expected her luck to be so poor.

Grace was well aware of Luna’s impressive feats, the strength of a Level 5 Beast Master was enough to make her think twice.

As she pondered how to deal with Luna, she took a step forward, slowly making her way toward the competition area.

This match was one that the audience had their eyes on, and many spectators gathered by the side of the arena to watch Grace and Luna enter the competition area.

Some began to discuss, “It feels like something is off with Luna, just look at her expression, there’s an indescribable feeling about it.”

“What could be off? There’s no grudge between Luna and Grace, there shouldn’t be any other issues in this match.”

“You’re mistaken, Luna now seems somewhat similar to Celestine earlier.”

“Now that you mention it, I feel it too. Both of them have no enmity with Grace, they are probably fighting for Charles.”

“It’s so enviable! It’s typical for others to fight for them, but with Charles, it’s the opposite.”

“Absolutely! There’s only one Charles in all of Genosha, a genius like no other. No, perhaps there’s only one genius like Charles in the entire Abyssal Depths!”

The various voices of discussion reached Grace’s ears as she listened intently.

She carefully observed Luna, who appeared goddess-like in beauty and composure not far away, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke,

“Are you also here to stand up for Charles?”

Luna did not respond, her gaze remained fixed on Grace, filled with a desire for battle.

At that moment, Grace recalled how Charles had ignored her earlier, and she couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh as she said:

“He’s just a commoner. I really don’t understand what charm he has. He’s just luckier than ordinary people, with an Level 8 Beast Master as a mentor and a treasure that can save the tourists in Flower Falls Gorge.”

“If you gave his luck to any genius, they would achieve the same things he has, and maybe even do better!”

Luna listened to Grace’s words, her brow furrowing tightly. She originally didn’t want to engage in too much banter with Grace, but facing such words, she could no longer hold back.

“You overestimate the other geniuses.” Luna shook her head slightly, speaking with conviction.

“What do you mean? Am I wrong? If I also had an Level 8 Beast Master as a mentor and a treasure that could subdue monsters, I could do everything Charles does!” Grace puffed out her chest and said slowly.

She not only believed she could do the same, but she even thought she could do better than Charles!

At this point, Luna had lost her desire to speak with Grace.

Not to mention anything else, just as a Dark Attribute Beast Master facing the trial of the Level 9 Beast Master Lucas, Grace would have long been dead, the weeds on her grave might have grown quite high by now.

To think that Charles is just lucky shows Grace’s shortsightedness and arrogance!

“How pathetic.” Luna said, casting a dismissive glance at Grace.

“What’s with that look? As if you’re looking at trash! Let me tell you, just give me a little more time, and I’ll become a Level 5 Beast Master too!” Grace said confidently.

Luna paid no attention to Grace at all and instead turned to the referee, signaling for the match to start quickly.

The referee was quick to respond, loudly announcing:

“Both competitors, prepare! The match officially begins!”

Just as the referee’s words fell, Luna was about to summon her mystical beast when she heard Grace exclaim loudly and urgently:

“I forfeit this match!”

Luna was momentarily taken aback, not fully processing what she had just heard.

“Referee, I forfeit.” Grace repeated.

She had already made up her mind. Given her current physical condition, it was significantly affecting her performance.

If she continued the match, she would undoubtedly get injured again in the upcoming battle with Luna.

If the injury turned out to be severe, she wouldn’t even be able to continue in the loser’s bracket.

She still planned to achieve a top-five finish in the three academies’ exchange competition, successfully entering the royal secret realm of Genosha, where she would break through and become a Level 5 Beast Master.

“I’m not that foolish woman Celestine, who would continue to fight knowing she can’t win.” Grace said slowly, as if explaining her reasoning for such a decision.

In light of this situation, Luna took a longer look at Grace. In her eyes, a woman like that would never be able to defeat Charles.
