Chapter 108: Did I Say That You Can Leave?

As a Beast-taming Gym, Starlux Gym was as large as a large-scale park.

Although Starlux Gym was large, it was not complicated and was mainly divided into five working areas.

Giles opened the “reception area” at the main door. It was the place to receive Beast Tamers and handle the related work matters.

After the Beast Tamers registered at the reception area, they could head to the “training area” to train their spirit beasts.

If one needed to rest after the training ended, the “residential area” was beside the training ground.

Gym Leader Alice lived here, and Giles had always lived there before moving to the spirit-beast section and building the wooden cabin there.

The staff of Starlux Gym usually took their lunch break in the residential area, so the residential area was also known as the ‘resting area’.

The other direction that the reception area led to was the Starlux Gym’s “evaluation section” and the “spirit beast section”.

The reception and evaluation areas were not far apart. It would only take a few minutes if one were to walk there slowly.

During the few-minutes journey, Giles explained to everyone the reason for the matter.

However, he still hid some of it from them.

His main explanation was that Hash had come to Starlux Gym today to assess his ability as the Acting Gym Leader.

The content of the ability evaluation was to accept Miss Annie’s challenge.

This was because Miss Annie was the only Beast Tamer who had obtained the Starlux Gym badge after Gym Leader Alice left.

That was why the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters had approved of the ability evaluation and allowed Miss Annie to challenge Starlux Gym again.

As for the other problems…

Such as why didn’t Giles let those Gold-rank spirit beasts fight?

Was the Metal-feathered Eagle a newly discovered bird-type spirit beast? Why was its evaluation incomplete?

Regarding these questions, Giles had used reasons like “personal privacy” and “the Gym’s confidential secrets” to hide them.

After everyone calmed down and after hearing Giles’ explanation, they realized that they had really misunderstood Hash and Annie.

Therefore, they didn’t care about the questions Giles didn’t answer.

This was because the most important problem now was that they were almost at the evaluation area of Starlux Gym!

One had to know that Her Excellency Hash had said so herself.

If they felt that Annie’s challenge against Starlux Gym was unfair to Giles and that there was a conspiracy behind this matter, they could come to the evaluation section to watch.

If they stepped into the evaluation section now, wouldn’t that be equivalent to directly telling Hash that “they think this challenge is unfair, and there’s a conspiracy behind this”?

At the thought of this, everyone subconsciously slowed down their pace.

At that moment, Giles had already reached the door of the evaluation section.

Just as he was about to push open the door, he suddenly realized…

The people who had been following behind him all this while now kept a distance of nearly ten meters from him.

Moreover, the air-conditioning function of the Starlux Gym had been activated after the spiritual energy supply was restored.

However, everyone’s forehead and neck were covered in sweat.

Sweating profusely, they averted their gaze, not daring to look at the entrance of the evaluation section,

It was as if the door to the evaluation section was the door to hell for them.

Behind this door was a terrifying demon waiting for them to deliver themselves to its door.

He saw that the people, who were originally behind him, were showing fear and hesitation.

Giles, who had already explained everything to them, could understand their feelings.

After all, they had just gathered to question Hash, who was an Elite Beast Tamer.

Furthermore, among them, there were a few who had even verbally offended Hashi.

Now that the misunderstanding had been resolved, their guilty selves naturally did not dare to meet Hash.

Furthermore, what Hash said before she left was her final announcement to them.

The fact that they were planning to “come to the evaluation section to watch the battle” was actually a form of doubt towards Hashy.

Perhaps in their opinion, as soon as they stepped through the door of the evaluation section, they would have to face the torrential rage of Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer.

However, the reason they thought that was because they hadn’t interacted much with Hash, so they didn’t know much about her.

Based on Hash’s reaction to them previously, Giles knew that Hash actually couldn’t be bothered with them.

If they hadn’t insisted on Hash giving them an explanation, Hash wouldn’t have forced them to calm down by releasing her spiritual energy.

At the thought of this, Giles sighed as he looked at the group of Beast Tamers who had stopped moving.

“Hah, come on over first, everyone. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I’ll talk to Her Excellency Hash later. Everything will be fine.”

When all of them heard Giles say this, they looked at each other and had no choice but to follow Giles, who had pushed open the door, towards the evaluation section.

Just as Giles had said, they now knew that they had misunderstood Hash.

Regardless of whether they were afraid or ashamed, they should actually meet Hash.

However, when everyone followed Giles to the door of the evaluation section, they did not see Hash.

They only saw Hash’s huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle lying on the ground of the evaluation section.

Giles, who had already gone through this once, did not have the same puzzled and odd expression as the other Beast Tamers.

He walked to the side of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and raised his head to ask his question, “Sister Hash, when are we going to carry out the ability evaluation?”

“Hmm? Giles, you’re here?”

After hearing Giles’ question, Hash, who was lying down, sat up from the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.

Then, she scratched her messy hair and yawned.

“Ah, Giles, you’re a little slow.”

“I slept for a while just now, but I’m awake now.”

Looking at Hash’s sleepy face, Giles felt helpless.

From what Hash said, it sounded like he had taken a long time.

However, it had only taken him a few minutes to get here from the reception area with these Beast Tamers.

Even if he had taken some time to explain the reason to everyone on the way, it shouldn’t have taken more than ten minutes.

Giles didn’t voice out what he was thinking.

Seeing that Hash had already woken up, he turned around and pointed at the group of Beast Tamers standing behind him.

“Sister Hash, all of them have something to say to you about the misunderstanding that just occurred.”

When Hash, who was stretching, heard Giles’ words, she then noticed the group of Beast Tamers behind Giles.

“Yo! So many people are here?”

Sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash looked at all of them and exclaimed.

“Did everyone who were at the gym entrance just now come over to watch the battle?”

Upon hearing Hash mention the spectating of the match, the nervous crowd began to apologize to her.

“Your Excellency Hash, we are extremely sorry about the misunderstanding!”

“We’re not here to watch the evaluation this time. We’re here to apologize to you in person!”

“That’s right! We’ll leave after apologizing. We definitely won’t disturb you from hosting this challenge.”

“…”

After the sweating crowd apologized to Hash, they did not want to stay in the evaluation section for another moment.

However, to their surprise, when they turned around and prepared to leave the evaluation section, Hash’s languid and gentle voice rang out behind them like the God of Death making an announcement as she said, “Oh? Did I say that you can leave?”
