1960: "Night Talk"

"Night Talk"

"Big sis, I don't lack contracted monsters or beasts and I usually don't like water creatures, so maybe this cub will be more beneficial to you, " Ainsley started the conversation with the mermaid.  0

However, the mermaid also didn't want to accept the cub even when she knew that with Ainsley's assistance, even if she was not a tamer, she could take this cub as her contracted monster. 

"No, no, no, I also already have a contracted monster and a beast. They're super jealous and I think their bloodlines are not inferior to this Loch Ness' cub." 

And to be honest, how could a creature that lived in a lake be able to adapt to the deep sea? 

Naturally, the mermaid would not want such a monster to be her contracted monster. 

There would be other people in need of this monster cub and she was not one of these people. 

It might sound cruel to kidnap a cub from its mother, but monsters in general were much more hostile to humans and other intelligent beings even when the monster had a high intelligence. 

Monsters were either ordinary animals who were polluted by the miasma or beasts who were polluted by the miasma. 

Most beasts that became monsters usually had higher intelligence than monsters born from ordinary animals, but they would still be more savage and lack feelings compared to beasts. 

Since beasts had chances to transform into various humanoid forms, a lot of ability users regarded beasts as an equal species to beastmen or other non-human races. 

It was even said that the ancestors of the beastmen were actually beasts because these two races had a lot of things in common. 

Most beastmen could transform into a full animal form, while beasts could only transform into a humanoid form after they reached a certain level of strength. 

Still, the two races were intertwined with each other, so not many people, even beast tamers, would casually tame beasts, kidnap their cubs and do other things for profit. 

A lot of people even set up a beast protection organization to prevent unscrupulous people from harming wild beasts so as not to draw the hatred of beasts. 

Even if beasts didn't like to be close to humans and other non-human races, many sacred beasts needed humans and those other races to grow their strength. 

So far, the relationship between beasts, humans and non-human races was stronger than the relationship with monsters. 

Everyone could agree that monsters were more dangerous than beasts and everyone, including beasts, also disliked monsters. 

Both Ainsley and the mermaid refused to take the cub, so they decided to place the cub that was still swimming inside the 'aquarium' in a vast place with no trees obstructing the sky. 

Then, under the seven people's watchful eyes, the cub was slowly enveloped in a strange array and soon, the cub disappeared along with the 'aquarium', leaving no trace of other than an added amount of score points for all seven people. 

After the group made sure that they had successfully completed their tough missions and got a lot of score points in one go, everyone didn't decide to separate and actually entered the forest together as a team. 

"It is going to be nighttime soon, and we should find a place to rest first. After morning comes, we can cross the forest again and go to another area." 

The first day of the assessment was about to end in another twelve hours, but there should not be a lot of contestants who do missions at night. 

Everyone knew that forests and many other natural environments became more dangerous at night, so even if points were tempting, many contestants chose not to explore their areas for mere points. 

Naturally, because of this, the number of audiences who watched the live broadcast dropped a bit because they had watched the assessment for half a day. 

However, many still stayed to watch various conflicts that would soon emerge between contestants who were in the same group. 

After all, many contestants also formed temporary groups and after the missions ended and it was time to divide the spoils, conflicts would often arise. 

It was just that, Ainsley's team consisted of many rare good people so when they divided the spoils, there were no arguments or conflicts at all. 

The life and death battle had already strengthened these people's bond, so that night, while most contestants were having an internal strife, this group of seven people found a dry cave and spent a peaceful night. 

The group didn't know each other well before, but now that the mission was over, they finally got to know their teammates deeper. 

However, they still didn't mention their names and others would only know their names from various articles and news on the internet. 

Each contestant in this assessment all had a certain degree of reputation and even if ordinary people didn't know them, they must be famous in the world of ability users. 

But whether one could recognize the face of these named experts or not depended on whether the expert used to show their faces to the media or not. 

Maybe even their names that were known to the public were also just false names. 

After all, a lot of experts were lone wolves who were not attached to any big forces, so it was hard to investigate their family background, unlike other famous ability users who were tied to a certain force. 

That night, Ainsley talked a lot with the other six people and it was the sonic guy who first told the others more about himself, but of course, it was limited to what was shown on the internet.
