Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 125

The room was illuminated by the light of three moons when they returned from the infirmary, casting triple shadows that danced across the walls.

Their injuries had been minor, bruises and scratches that the auxiliaries had healed quickly.

"Well, at least you made it to the semifinals," Liu tried to lift the mood as he settled at his desk. "That's more than most people expected."

Min collapsed onto his bed, stretching muscles that still ached despite the healing. His water snake coiled dejectedly around his belly. "Yeah, and now we get to face the strongest team in the tournament. Perfect."

"Maybe Luna's team is stronger, though it depends on how you look at it... If you'd been matched against Jin's team, you'd have had a chance," Liu continued, trying to find silver linings. "Their beasts are strong but not at Klein's team's level… Those are too much, even with Ren's strategies..."

"Yeah, no... strategies don't help much when there's such a huge power gap," Taro muttered.

Ren stood by the window, his mushrooms pulsing softly as he mentally reviewed every possibility. He wanted to tell them there was a way, that if they tried hard enough and executed the perfect plan...

But even with all his knowledge, he couldn't find a viable solution.

The gap was simply too wide.

Klein's golden lion, Feng's red cobra, Astor's rhinoceros, all beasts with explosive growth in their early stages. Their raw power was evident in every movement, every manifestation.

In contrast, Taro's beetle would need time to reach its true potential. Min's snake was just beginning to develop its water abilities.

And his mushrooms... _{freēwebnovel.com}

Well, the intense glow only worked up to a point and wouldn't surprise anyone anymore.

He didn't want to give them false hope.

It wouldn't be fair to promise an impossible victory.

"Hey, don't make those faces," Liu tried again, his night bat manifesting slightly in response to his concern. "Nobody expected you to get this far. Just being in the semifinals is..."

"Maybe we can find a way to lose with style," Min completed with a resigned smile, his snake mimicking his defeated posture.

Ren finally turned to face his friends. His mushrooms pulsed steadily as he made a decision.

"You should be happy," he said, drawing everyone's attention. "At least you're guaranteed 1500 crystals each."

"Each?" Taro blinked in confusion, his beetle's markings swirling with surprise. "But third place is only a thousand points."

"I'll give you my share," Ren explained, his mushrooms casting gentle light patterns across the room. "I don't really need it and..."

"Oh," Min sat up straighter, a hint of his usual humor returning. "The generous magnate doesn't need his prize because he has a trunk full of hydra plates."

"Which are from the prince," Liu added automatically, triggering laughter that helped ease the tension.

"It's not because of that," Ren smiled, his mushrooms pulsing with amusement. "It's because you worked hard following the plan and..."

A knock at the door interrupted him.

The mushrooms in his hair pulsed with sudden alertness as everyone turned toward the entrance. It was late, and after the day they'd had...

Another knock, more insistent this time.

Ren approached the door, his mushrooms analyzing the presence on the other side. Whoever it was carried an aura of purpose that seemed unusually intense for this hour.
