Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 297

Min seemed particularly discontented.

"Was that all?" he protested, deactivating his invisibility with an irritated gesture. "I didn't even have time to do anything spectacular! Why did Han surrender so quickly?"

"I guess he recognized they had run out of options," Ren responded, though his tone lacked conviction. "It's an understandable decision."

Taro observed Ren curiously. "It seemed like you were waiting for something to happen," he commented.

Ren simply denied it with a vague gesture, without elaborating.

The following matches proceeded without significant surprises. A team from group A defeated another from group C in a relatively balanced battle. Then, a team from group D defeated another from group A in a combat that extended almost twenty minutes.

And finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived.

"Team Larissa versus Team Klein," announced Lin, provoking a wave of anticipatory murmurs in the stands. "Prepare to enter the arena."

For many spectators, especially newcomers or those unfamiliar with the Gray Wing's true power, this confrontation represented the true final played in advance. The two most powerful families of the academy, the Ashenway/Dravenholm against the Goldcrests, in a battle that symbolically transcended the simple school tournament.

"This will be interesting," commented Ren, his eyes following Klein as he entered the arena with his characteristic confidence.

"Klein's team has only Bronze rank beasts," observed Taro. "And the girls have significant special abilities... They won individually, but I wonder if Klein's addition could ruin things."

"They have two tamers capable of executing spatial jumps," added Min, still slightly resentful about his own unspectacular combat. "That ability is ridiculously showy and advantageous... Not like mine... I don't think they'll disappoint us, right?"

"It's not an invincible ability," replied Ren, his mushrooms pulsing as he analyzed both contenders. "Every technique has its weakness, even one as versatile as the spatial jump. Larissa won yesterday by a very small margin..."

Lin positioned herself between the teams, her professional expression perfectly masking any personal preference.

"The rules remain the same. Are you ready?"

Six heads nodded.

"Begin."

Klein, confident as always, wasted no time deploying his characteristic strategy: the paralyzing roar that had unbalanced so many opponents.

His chest expanded while his golden lion manifested its presence with more intensity. The veins in his neck tensed and his eyes acquired that supernatural glow that preceded the attack.

"Get ready!" shouted Larissa, alerting her companions.

The three reacted instantly, bringing their hands to their ears despite having them covered by plugs specifically for this confrontation. It was a defense that had significantly reduced the effect for some teams, especially those who had received advice from Ren.
