The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

"..."

"..."

"Did I hear you wrong? Pet care?"

"You heard me right, pet care."

“Oh, pet care…”

"WHAT!!! PET CARE?!!!!"

Except for the students majoring in pet care, all the students had disbelief in their eyes.

The other four people majoring in pet care: Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, we don’t know anything.

Not to mention the students, even the teachers in the audience did not expect this to happen. They all looked at the principal, as if asking with their eyes:

Does their school have this major?

It didn't exist before, but pet caregivers are scarce in the interstellar world. In order to balance the development, the principal responded to the call of the Interstellar Education Bureau this year and added a new bottom-line major for the first time.

Principal: Family members, who understands? I just want to open another specialty major for all-round development. Who knew that the first place student applied for this major? Sweating.jpg

Edel, who was the first to learn the truth, twitched the corner of his mouth numbly.

Oh! You can finally understand how shocked I was at that time, right?

The four students on the stage turned their heads abruptly and looked at Qin Jiu, their mouths slightly open and their pupils suddenly contracted.

The first place, the first place they lost to, was not a beastmaster, not a mechanic, and not a gun or mecha major...

But...pet care major???

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange, and Qin Jiu felt that he was about to be seen through by their gazes.

It was the host who first reacted. She immediately responded, "Let us give the warmest applause to congratulate these five outstanding freshmen."

Some people, still still in shock, clapped mechanically.

After a sparse round of applause, the host said, "Please ask all teachers to come to the stage and present them with the student union badges."

The principal, vice principal, Song Ji, Levin and Edel stood up as teacher representatives.

The normal procedure should be for the principal to present the award to Qin Jiu, who ranked first. But as soon as he arrived backstage, Edel immediately stepped forward and started to negotiate: "Um...Principal, can we switch and let me put the badge on Qin Jiu?"

Principal: "It's not impossible, but why are you suddenly interested in a new student?"

The other teachers were still looking at him. Edel smiled and said, "I just think she's a good candidate. I want to get a closer look at this year's No. 1 student."

Principal: "Okay, please switch seats with me."

In this way, Edel, who was supposed to award badges to students majoring in beast taming, inexplicably became Qin Jiu's teacher.

The principal who was supposed to award the badge to the first place winner became Lilith's contact teacher.

Qin Jiu saw Edel standing in front of her with a kind face, and thought of the bad impression she had left on the teacher yesterday. She immediately called him Teacher Edel respectfully, hoping to wash away her negative points.

The other students saw that the first place was not awarded by the principal, but by Edel. The principal awarded the first place in the Beast Taming major, Lilith, and small discussions were heard everywhere.

"See, the Beast Taming major is indeed the trump card major. Lilith is the first in the Beast Taming major. The principal did not give the award to Qin Jiu from the Pet Care major, but gave the award to Lilith instead. This shows that the Pet Care major is still not up to par in Star King."

"Poor Mr. Edel, he should have been the one to give the award to Lilith."

Although several students on the stage were also surprised by this change, they were relieved.

Their thoughts were the same as everyone else's, because Qin Jiu's expertise was not worth mentioning in Xinghuang.

Lilith smiled even more brightly at the sudden glory. She shook hands with the principal and straightened her chest so that the principal could pin the badge of honor on her.

The others did the same, shaking hands with the teacher and waiting for the honor of being the Star Emperor.

At this moment, Edel, who had always been smiling kindly, said as he was buckling the badge for Qin Jiu: "Qin Jiu, are you interested in switching to the Beast Taming major?"

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the ears of the people on the stage.

This time, not only the students, but even the teachers looked over in shock.

Everyone:...

headmaster:……

Everyone:? ? ?

headmaster:?????

Principal: Are you asking me to switch with you just to poach your people?

It is not impossible to change majors in Xinghuang, but the conditions are extremely strict. One must have a first-year academic score that is in the top 5% of the grade before one can request to change majors, and the consent of teachers from both majors must be obtained.

But this is the first time that someone like Edel has taken the initiative to poach people...

Qin Jiu clearly didn't guess that Edel would ask this. Of course she was excited because that was the major she had always dreamed of.

She almost agreed subconsciously, but after thinking for a moment, she chose to refuse reluctantly.

"No, teacher. I think... pet care is also a good major..."

The good thing is that the tuition fee is only one-tenth of that of the beast taming major, and there is no worry about finding a job.

What she lacks most now is money.

Although Edel felt sorry, he still welcomed her into Star King with a smile.

Others didn't expect Qin Jiu to actually reject Edel's olive branch. They felt like they were struck by lightning and were burnt black inside out.

The teachers' hands are not very nimble when it comes to pinning badges.

That's Edel! Edel's olive branch!

Don't be so ungrateful!

"Ow~~~"

A small animal cry reached the ears of Edel and Qin Jiu, and they both lowered their heads at the same time.

The black cat that Qin Jiu met in the Beast King Building yesterday was rubbing its body against Qin Jiu's ankle, looking very intimate.

"Hey, why are you here?" Qin Jiu looked up at Edel and asked, "Teacher, is this your cat?"

Uh, cat...

Edel deadpanned, "Yeah, sort of."

"It's so clingy and cute, is it a boy?"

"Um……"

The black cat was a little dissatisfied when it saw that Qin Jiu didn't hug it like he did yesterday, and it started to jump onto Qin Jiu's legs.

Edel's back teeth itched, so he grabbed the animal by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up.

The black cat learned its lesson this time. After Edel picked it up, it hooked its tail around his arm, turned over, and left a medium scratch on his hand.

Edel let go in pain, and the black cat immediately pounced on Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu saw a black thing flying towards her and subconsciously reached out to catch it. The black cat lay on her shoulder and rubbed Qin Jiu's cheek with its furry head.

Qin Jiu touched its round head, and the black cat stretched out its pink tongue and licked her.

"Teacher Edel, your hand is bleeding!"

No one could have expected this to happen suddenly, and the students became nervous.

Edel smiled, "It's okay. There is no beastmaster who hasn't suffered some minor injuries."

He looked at the teacher team. Well, he was satisfied with the reaction.

The principal and others had their eyes bigger than copper bells, staring at the black cat in Qin Jiu's arms motionlessly.

Song Ji and Levin looked at each other and turned their gazes to the cage in the backstage.

As expected, there was nothing inside, and the black panther seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing the black cat hugging Qin Jiu's neck and rubbing against him happily, and being pushed away by Qin Jiu, Levin finally found his voice: "I don't believe it..."

Song Ji: "I don't believe it either..."

Levin & Song Ji: But who can tell them what’s going on now?! How could such a big and mighty war beast become a crying monster?!!!!!!

Something unexpected happened, no one knew where the black cat came from, and Teacher Edel was injured again. Seeing that they seemed to be dreaming and had no intention of leaving, the host immediately waved and called the flying microphone over, "Thank you teachers for presenting awards to our outstanding students. Please take a group photo now."

Everyone finally woke up and turned around stiffly, not knowing whether they smiled or not.

Several students found the teacher a little strange, but they didn't know what to say.

When Qin Jiu saw that others were about to take a photo and the black cat was still in her arms, she quickly bent down and tried to put it on the ground.

But the black cat kicked off the ground and hung on Qin Jiu again.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her, Qin Jiu became anxious and spoke in a heavier tone: "Go down and sit down! I'll play with you later!"

The black cat was stopped by her roar and stood on the ground in a daze.

But it seemed to have really understood what Qin Jiu said. It sat at Qin Jiu's feet with a wronged look, looked up at Qin Jiu with pitiful eyes, and when it saw that Qin Jiu ignored it, it lowered its head and licked its paws.

Teachers: !!!! !!!!

Song Ji: Tell me, I am dreaming.

Principal: I am at the opening ceremony now, right? Right?

Edel: Don't make any noise, he's thinking.
