Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 274

The fifth team of group A entered the arena with evident confidence.

The three students, with two wood beasts and one water beast, took advantage of the elemental advantage similar to the third team. Although they only had Iron-level creatures, the combination proved devastating for the Big Stone Lurker.

The wood element systematically absorbed the vitality of the rocky monster while the water beast enhanced the plants' power.

The battle, relatively easy and straightforward, lacked the surprise factor or strategy that previous combats had shown.

"Victory for Team Five of Group A," announced Yang when the beast finally died. "Time: five minutes, thirty-two seconds."

"They almost matched Jin's time," Min commented.

"Almost," Taro emphasized. "Jin keeps the record by twenty seconds."

Ren observed with an unsatisfied expression. "The elemental advantage was significant. They could have easily surpassed Jin, but their execution was mediocre."

Liu nodded. "Even if your element is favorable, you'll get into trouble one day if you don't understand how to maximize its advantage."

The auxiliaries worked hurriedly to prepare the arena for the next combat. The audience, now fully engaged in the competition, animatedly speculated about the strategies they would see next.

But they knew nothing…

"Team Five of Group B, prepare to enter," announced the auxiliary.

A murmur of anticipation ran through the stands. The approaching team wasn't just any team.

"It would be funny to see what the spectators would do if they knew she was the princess," Min murmured.

Liora, Larissa, and Maria advanced toward the arena with the characteristic grace of their aristocratic upbringing. Unlike most previous teams, they showed neither nervousness nor bravado, only serene determination.

"Something has changed," observed Ren, noticing subtle differences in how they moved, especially Liora. "There's less... restraint."

Since the attacks, Selphira Ashenway and the castle had changed their approach and increased security measures at the academy.

As a result, they had finally allowed the girls to use their beasts openly.

Of course, only their normal beasts... They still didn't know they were doubles.

"Are they going to..." Ren murmured.

Larissa was the first to invoke her beast. Her mineral fairy, normally barely visible as a subtle glow, emerged completely: an ethereal creature approximately twenty centimeters tall, with crystalline wings and a body that seemed like solid mineral brought to life.

Liora followed, summoning her will-o'-wisp. Unlike normal flames, this entity seemed conscious, an amalgamation of bluish lights that danced around its tamer with movements that suggested intelligence. Occasionally, small sparks separated from the main body, orbiting around it before reincorporating.

Maria completed the trio with her armadillo, a compact creature about one meter tall but evidently resilient, whose segmented shell gleamed with a metallic luster under the light.

But everyone knew about Maria's armadillo...

"Those are two rare Tier 3 beasts," murmured a seventh-year student to his companions. "Like the Starweaver girl's shadow wolf."

The crowd began talking all at once. The shock was evident.

"Fifty percent in primary enhancements!" someone from sixth year shouted, evidently familiar with the classification.

"That's impossible!" replied another. "Two more beasts with gold potential from the same first-year group?!"

"Wait, the Will-o'-wisp is controlled by the Ashenways!" responded a third. "The mineral fairy by the castle... Royal Blood and Ashenway... Obviously they would have tier-3 beasts!"
