At that moment, the dome of the Starlux Gym evaluation section had been completely opened.
In the arena, there were trees and bushes made of green plant-type spiritual energy.
Under the sunlight, the green spiritual-energy leaves were glowing with vigor.
Giles stood in front of the scene simulator and watched as the battle environment Annie needed gradually formed.
He brought the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was standing beside him, from the scene simulator to stand opposite Annie.
“Annie, after your Green-tailed Cat evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat, its combat effectiveness rank should have increased, right?”
If the bloodline potential was a judgment of the future potential of spirit beasts, in that case, the combat effectiveness rank was an estimate of the spirit beast’s current combat ability.
Under normal circumstances, when a spirit beast successfully evolved, its combat effectiveness rank would clearly increase.
Annie had brought her Green-tailed Cat to Starlux Gym to challenge and train many times last month.
Giles, who was in charge of Starlux Gym, was very familiar with Annie’s Green-tailed Cat.
Therefore, Giles could clearly sense that although the Leaf-eared Cat squatting beside Annie was still a Gold-rank spirit beast, the aura it exuded was clearly much stronger and thicker than when it was still a Gold-rank Green-tailed Cat.
However, based on Giles’ current experience, he temporarily could not sense how much the Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank had increased.
“You’re right, Giles.”
Annie nodded at Giles, who was standing across from her.
Then, Annie lowered her head and looked at the Leaf-eared Cat who was squatting beside her.
“As a Beast Tamer who had a contract with the Green-tailed Cat, when it successfully evolved from a Green-tailed Cat to a Leaf-eared Cat, I could clearly sense that its combat effectiveness rank had increased. However…”
Annie suddenly paused.
‘When she spoke again, there was a tinge of pity in her voice.
“As it’s now the turn of the Beast-taming Gyms in Yorkshire to close, I had to bring the Leaf Cat back to Florida.”
“Iwas preparing to find a Beast-taming Gym here that has opened up with the new system to evaluate the Leaf-eared Cat.”
“Then, I would continue to challenge the Beast-taming Gyms and collect the gym badges required to participate in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament.”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
At that moment, Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, suddenly clapped her hands.
“Alright, everyone. Since everything is in place, let’s quit the idle chat.”
Giles, Annie, and the spectators all looked over at Hash.
When Hash saw that everyone’s eyes were on her, she plucked a long weed from the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and casually used the weed to tie up her messy hair.
Hash slowly stood up and casually swatted the leaves that had stuck to her clothes.
After tidying the creases on her clothes, Hash put away her lazy demeanor and looked at Giles.
“Giles, regarding the recording function attached to the scene simulator, you’ve already turned it on, right?”
In the face of the upcoming ability evaluation, Giles’ expression also became serious.
Giles nodded solemnly at Hash and even changed his way of addressing her as he said, “Your Excellency Hash, the recording has begun.”
“Okay.”
Hash’s gaze swept from Giles to Annie on both sides of the arena to the spectators sitting opposite her.
Then, she solemnly bowed to everyone.
After which, she officially introduced the details of this ability evaluation to everyone present, “As the Beast Tamer who has been bestowed the title of ‘Elite’ by the Beast Tamer Association, I will be the judge and witness in the ability evaluation of whether Giles is able to take on the position of Starlux
Gym’s Gym Leader.”
“Following the Beast Tamer Association’s principle of ‘fair, just, and open’, the entire duration of this ability evaluation will be recorded using the recording function attached to the scene simulator. After the evaluation ends, the recording of the battle will be sent to the headquarters of the Beast Tamer
Association.”
“The rules of this ability evaluation are the same as the usual challenges in gyms. It will be carried out in a one-on-one format.”
“Both sides will send out a spirit beast to fight. The party whose spirit beast loses its ability to fight first will be determined as defeated.”
“This is the specific content and rules of this ability evaluation. Do both parties have any doubts about this?”
After the introductions, Hash looked at Giles and Annie.
The two opponents shook their heads and replied to her at the same time.
“Idon’t have any questions.”
“Idon’t have any questions.”
Standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash slowly raised her hand, causing her palm to face up.
A stream of green spiritual energy representing the plant element began to condense in her palm.
“In that case, Giles, let your Metal-feathered Eagle fly over.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
Giles agreed and stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle’s head.
“Metal-feathered Eagle, you don’t have to be nervous or afraid. It’s just as Her Excellency Hash had said previously.”
“Her Excellency Hash is going to use her spiritual energy to reinforce the vine belt around your abdomen.”
The Metal-feathered Eagle who was enjoying Giles’ stroking, half-closed its eyes and nodded.
Then, it flew towards Hash and stopped in front of her.
“Don’t worry, little one. This won’t cause you any pain.”
With the plant-type spiritual energy in her palm, Hash raised her hand and pushed it lightly.
The plant-type spiritual energy slowly flowed into the vine belt wrapped around the Metal-feathered Eagle’s abdomen.
After absorbing the tender-green plant-type spiritual energy, a faint layer of green film appeared on the dark green vine belt.
“Okay, it’s done. Go back, good child.”
Hash saw that the vine belt around the Metal-feathered Eagle’s abdomen had been successfully reinforced.
She waved at the Metal-feathered Eagle flying in front of her, indicating that it could head back now.
‘The Metal-feathered Eagle heard this and flew back to Giles after nodding at Hash to thank her.
“Before the ability evaluation begins, as the umpire and witness, I have already determined the combat effectiveness rank of the spirit beasts sent by both sides through my spiritual perception.”
Upon hearing that Hash had already determined the combat effectiveness rank of the Metal-feathered Eagle and the Leaf-eared Cat through her spiritual perception, the people sitting in the spectator stands subconsciously leaned forward.
Hash first looked at the side of Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle.
“Giles! Metal-feathered Eagle’s current combat effectiveness rank is at Silver-rank, nine stars.”
Then, Hash turned to look at Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat.
“As for Miss Annie’s Leaf-eared Cat, its current combat effectiveness rank is at Gold-rank, three stars..”
