Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Shepherd Mountain didn’t understand what Gu Yuexi meant and continued,

”The Divine Locust currently has no Master. He will occupy a spot by himself to participate in the competition.”

When Shepherd Mountain finished speaking, everyone from the other academies was stunned.

No Master? Occupying a spot by himself?

What kind of stunt was this?

Logically, it would have been simple for the Beast Taming Academy to enter this cockroach into the competition. They could have just had it act as a Beast Tamer’s second Contracted Beast. Even without a signed Blood Covenant, no one would have looked too deeply into it.

To occupy a spot all by itself was a complete waste. There was no need for it.

...

Gu Yuexi was also stunned when she heard this.

’Did I misunderstand?’

She glanced over at Chu Sheng, only to find him staring off into space, not looking at her at all.

’Hmph. Fine!’

’To think you could get the Beast Taming Academy to free up an entire spot for a single Demon Beast. I’ll admit, you’re impressive.’

’But... I’d like to see just how far the Beast Taming Academy is willing to go for you!’

”Then may I ask, who is the captain of your academy’s team this time?”

Shepherd Mountain hesitated for a moment before saying directly,

”As you can see, it is none other than Lord Divine Lang.”

Originally, the Beast Taming Academy had announced to the public that Su Li was the captain, but Shepherd Mountain suddenly changed his mind and declared that Chu Sheng was the captain.

This answer once again sent a massive uproar through the crowd.

”Huh? What does that mean? They’re making a cockroach the captain?”

”Hahaha, has the Beast Taming Academy completely given up on itself? Even if this giant cockroach’s power is astonishing, I’ve never heard of a team of Beast Tamers making a Contracted Beast their captain.”

”Even if a Contracted Beast is the captain, what does that make the Beast Tamers? Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?”

”No wonder our school’s Beast Taming Academy is so pathetic. The Contracted Beasts are walking all over the Beast Tamers!”

”If the Beast Taming Academy doesn’t finish in last place this time, I, Wang Cong, will do a handstand right here and eat my own shit!”

”...”

The students from the other academies were so used to mocking the Beast Taming Academy that the jeers came naturally.

Scattered laughter echoed across the entire field.

Meanwhile, the students of the Beast Taming Academy could only clench their fists, holding back their indignation!

”Quiet!”

Principal Chen barked, restoring order to the field.

Gu Yuexi spoke again.

”Dean Mu, pardon me, but I have one last question.”

”If I were to join the Beast Taming Academy’s team, would I be the captain?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd, which had just quieted down, erupted again!

”What? No way! Is Lin Zhixia really going to join the Beast Taming Academy?!”

”No, don’t do it! Don’t throw your future away! Miss Lin’s talent is astounding, but with her current level of strength, there’s no way she can carry that group from the Beast Taming Academy.”

”Exactly... I can’t bear to see my goddess dragged down by them into last place!”

”Oh no. Shepherd Mountain will definitely agree, and then Lin Zhixia might actually join the Beast Taming Academy.”

”I really don’t get what she’s thinking. Does she just want to test herself and not care about her ranking?”

Finally, amidst the rising tide of discussion, Shepherd Mountain spoke in a clear, loud voice.

”I’m sorry, Miss Lin, but the captain of our academy’s team this time will be Lord Divine Lang.”

BOOM!

The crowd erupted once again.

He... he refused?

”Wait, what is the Beast Taming Academy’s dean thinking? This was a golden opportunity to recruit her, and he just refused?”

”Has he gone senile? If Miss Lin joined, even if they still finished last, at least out of respect for the Future Empress, people wouldn’t be so harsh...”

”This is a direct slap in the face to the Future Empress...”

No one understood. Absolutely no one.

It wasn’t just the students. The teachers and deans present didn’t understand either. They all thought something was wrong with Shepherd Mountain’s mind.

Whether Lin Zhixia joined or not, she had asked him directly. The least he could do was show her some respect, right?

The Beast Taming Academy was already in this state, and he still had the gall to refuse?

So what, is the reputation of a cockroach more important than that of the Future Empress?

...

In front of the Beast Taming Academy’s formation.

Gu Yuexi bit her red lip.
