Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 249

Wei shifted uncomfortably in his seat, as if what would come next was particularly difficult. His fingers nervously adjusted a stack of papers, aligning their edges with precision.

"What I need is... your help," the words seemed physically painful for him. "To identify the most crucial errors, especially those affecting your classmates' beasts. The main credit would be entirely yours... And also..."

Wei paused, unnecessarily readjusting his position.

"I also wanted to apologize," he finally said, so quickly that the words almost stumbled over each other. "For my previous behavior. It was... unprofessional."

Ren studied the professor for a moment. His mother had always taught him about the value of forgiveness, warning him against becoming "a small person" who clung to grudges. "Don't let pride make you petty," she would tell him. "Forgive when you can, but don't forget to learn from what happened."

Added to that, Ren had mourned the loss of people he had met only recently, which gave him a fresh perspective. It wasn't worth holding grudges in times like these. Helping everyone could improve the city's situation in the long run.

The city where he wanted to give his parents a better life.

"I accept your apology, professor," Ren responded after brief consideration. "And I'll help with your research, especially if it benefits my classmates. Well, most of them."

Maybe Klein and Jin group's beasts would have to wait longer to get their fixed methods… Maybe he was a bit petty.

The relief on Wei's face was evident. His shoulders relaxed visibly, and color returned to his previously pale complexion.

"Excellent. Thank you, Patinder. I've prepared an initial list of five beasts to review: weak plants, frogs, and three types of insects that are traditionally cheaper and have shorter cultivation periods than others, between 150 and 130 days also..."

As Wei explained his plan, Ren understood the true scope of the project. It wasn't just about correcting academic literature for wealthy students; Wei planned to seek volunteers outside the academy, young people from the peripheral areas of the city who normally wouldn't have access to proper cultivation instruction, to test the revised methods.

"Thanks to Professor Zhao's intervention," Wei continued, shuffling through his notes with renewed energy, "Lin has authorized you to temporarily skip the nightly exercises to dedicate that time to this research."

"Perfect," Ren nodded. "We'll start with the duration, mana quantity, and absorption method. It's 100 days and not one more, the crystal must have stable brightness, and absorption must be done by circulating in a specific pattern than..."

Professor Mei's class, traditionally a quiet bastion where students learned information useful for daily life, had undergone a notable transformation in recent days.

The classroom, previously characterized by a relaxed atmosphere where no student actively participated, now vibrated with an almost palpable energy. The very air seemed charged with competitive spirit, crackling with tension whenever a question was posed.

Hands rose constantly at each question, voices overlapped offering answers and additional examples, and debates about theoretical applications frequently extended beyond the assigned time.

"Mana poisoning manifestation occurs because the body processes too much mana from the environment, exceeding the contracted creature's absorption and expulsion capacity," Mei explained, her normally monotone voice now carrying a hint of enthusiasm. "Could anyone provide the symptoms of this phenomenon?"

At least five hands shot up immediately. Klein, Jin, Luna, and several others from the noble group who rarely participated now competed for the professor's attention.

Klein answered correctly when selected.
