World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Chapter 35: One Prefecture, Four Domains, Eight Cities!

As a genius from a small city, Locke needed to display immense talent in order to be recruited into The Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy.

Moreover, the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy’s headquarters was located in the Federation’s central city, the Heavenly City.

The Heavenly City was the true core of the Federation.

Be it the extremely powerful nobles, the Federation’s higher-ups, or even the core of the army, all of them were situated within the Heavenly City.

The city was a place where the true geniuses had congregated.

Any student the high schools there had talent that far surpassed the so-called geniuses in Locke’s city.

Due to the dense mana of the city, it was highly beneficial for the training of Beastmasters.

Therefore, countless geniuses and families would rack their brains to earn a spot in the Heavenly City, one where they could live for a long time.

Moreover, the security forces in the Heavenly City were so powerful that it was terrifying.

It was a true dragon’s den or tiger’s den, for Daemons.

That was because 80% of the entire Federation’s armed forces were gathered there.

Diamond-tier Beastmasters could be seen everywhere there.

It was truly a place where people had yearned to live in.

The entire Federation consisted of one prefecture, four domains, and eight cities.

The prefecture was the Heavenly Prefecture.

Whereas the four regions were:

“Satanic Domain”

“Seraphic Domain”

“Pope’s Domain”

“Battle Beast Domain”

The eight cities were:

“Gold City”

“Wood City”

“Water city”

“Fire City”

“Earth City”

“Wind City”

“Beast City”

“Holy city”

Every city was named based on their local characteristics.

The difference in geography had led to a huge difference in the local magic element attributes.

As such, they were named based on the primary element of the region.

The Heavenly Prefecture was consisted of four domains, and the four domains were consisted of eight cities.

Without a doubt, the Heavenly Prefecture’s main city had served as the core of the entire human race.

On the other hand, the four domains were only second in strength to the Heavenly Prefecture.

Each domain possessed powerful armed forces, and each domain was named after the first four powerhouses of humanity.

Each of them was a hero of humanity.

Without them, humanity would have entered its golden age.

They had led humanity to victory after victory.

Locke was situated in Fire City[1].

His family had lived here for generations.

‘There are only three days left before the university assessments.’

“I need to work hard to strengthen myself in these three days.”

“Even if I can easily get first place with my strength, I mustn’t be careless. It would be bad if a genius were to suddenly appear.”

Locke’s inner thoughts accidentally leaked out.

Locke had no desire to show off too much of his abilities in the city-level assessments. He only wanted to do the bare minimum to secure a spot in the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy.

Moreover, he could not reveal his other two divine Battlebeasts to the public as well.

His abilities had stuck out like a sore thumb.

If he were to steal everyone’s thunder during the assessments, he would definitely be targeted by those living in Fire City.

This was not ideal for Locke.

On the other hand, if he were to display the full spectrum of his abilities in the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy, no one would even bat an eye.

‘There are no shortages of geniuses in this world.’

‘There are all sorts of people, and there are many of them.’

Locke’s thoughts returned to reality.

Suddenly, he felt his stomach growling.

Locke looked at the time on his phone.

[ 11:23 am ]

Locke walked out of his room and went to the dining room.

He saw that the table was already filled with food.

Locke walked quickly to the dining table.

He sat on the chair stuff himself hastily.

His parents came over at the same time.

They saw their son voraciously sweeping the food off the table.

They could not help but smile warmly at the scene.

The food on the table was quickly devoured by Locke.

However, Locke licked his lips as if the food had not satisfied him.

His parents could not help but tremble at Locke’s appetite.

His appetite was too big.

After all, there was enough food on the table to feed a family of three for two to three days.

However, it was annihilated by Locke in less than ten minutes.

This was a difficult thing for Locke’s parents, who were ordinary people, to understand.

Noticing his parents’ expressions, Locke subconsciously took a look at the number of plates on the table. Upon this realization, his face contorted into an awkward expression.

He said to his parents,

“Ahem, about this…”

“Ever since I became a Beastmaster…”

“I’ve discovered that my appetite has become abnormally huge.”

“I feel like I can’t eat my fill every day.”

When his parents heard this, a hint of embarrassment could be seen on their faces.

His father hurriedly said,

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“My son is now a Beastmaster.”

“Ordinary food like this is far from enough to satisfy your daily consumption.”

“I should’ve bought you some Daemon meat. Only the energy contained in Daemon meat can sustain a Beastmaster’s daily requirements.”

Locke’s mother slapped her forehead.

She exclaimed, “We truly are dumb. We almost forgot that a Beastmaster’s body is different from ours.”

“The food we ordinary people eat can’t satiate a Beastmaster at all.”

Then, she said to his son,

“Just wait a little while longer, son. Mother’s going to buy you some Daemon meat now.”

After saying that, she left the house in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Locke was left in a daze.

It was only then that he realized that Beastmasters ate Daemons.

‘No wonder I haven’t eaten my fill in a while.’

‘So that’s the reason.’

The bearded man beside Locke chimed, “Ever since you’ve become a Beastmaster, your mother is a joyful mess. Every night, she would tell me at least eight hundred times that her son is a Beastmaster.”

“Also, the moment your mother runs into someone she knows, she’ll tell them that her son is a Beastmaster.”

After finishing his statement, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

On the other hand, Locke’s expression darkened.

However, on second thought…

He could understand his mother’s feelings. After all, Beastmasters were the greatest profession in the world.

They were sought after no matter where they went.

Her son becoming a Beastmaster was undoubtedly a matter of great pride for Locke’s mother.

It was something that was worth showing off to others.

After all, not everyone could become a Beastmaster.

His father was also proud of this. After all, his son was more promising than anyone he knew.
