Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 300 Graduation

Cross base.

The tail-end team never expected that their long-awaited graduation would come in such a way. It was really mixed feelings.

In fact, this was also expected. When the tail-end team retreated from the Four Gods Base, they saw the report on Rotten Tomatoes Daily.

Soga was right. At the Four Gods Base, he had transformed numerous reliable Titans. These Titans would sooner or later become a threat. After being transformed into Titans, would their original souls still exist? Given the current situation, there was probably no answer.

Fortunately, Diana and Chirawong returned directly to the Wilshire base after losing on the first day, and escaped the fate of being transformed.

However, this may not be a good thing.

The Monster Master training bases on Blue Star were attacked by Ouroboros almost at the same time, resulting in the destruction of most of the Monster Master training bases.

It is really sad that the base that took such a long time to build was burned down in such a short time.

Wilshire Base, Blue Shield Base, and Dabaierge Base...they were all destroyed.

The Monster Master Management Association was also severely damaged and lost its usual credibility, which it had never had before.

People's attitude towards the Monster Master changed 180 degrees, from admiration to extreme disgust, and they also began to hate monsters.

Under pressure from all sides, humans temporarily stopped summoning monsters from Monster Planet to Blue Planet. Monster fruits were also listed as contraband and prohibited from being circulated openly.

The fire in the city affected everyone else. Although the Cross Base had not been completely destroyed, it no longer had its former glory.

Of the three chairmen of the Monster Master Management Association, one was believed to be a member of the Anbu and committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and another was missing on a long business trip. Only Chairman Lion Yao is left, standing alone to overcome all objections and strive to maintain daily operations.

Chairman Leo Yao is still old. Even though he is a descendant of Capricorn, one of the Ten Shadow Kings, he cannot avoid worrying about worldly affairs.

Thanks to Chairman Lion Yao's desperate efforts, the trainees at Cross Base only need to hand in their monster cards, and there are no other penalties.

Most of the trainees obediently handed in their monsters, but there was still a small group of trainees who argued and were unwilling to give up their monsters - the last-place team obviously belonged to the latter group.

Of course there are such people, but they are only a small minority.

As reserve students holding Diamond Cards, the entire tail-end team and the four goddesses luckily avoided the pain of separation from their monsters. At the instruction of Chairman Lion Yao, the elite team also did not leave their monsters.

In addition, the king's power does not fall on their team, and they all have their own unique skills, so in the end they even become friends with their own monsters.

As for the vast majority of the remaining trainees, they could only reluctantly give up their monsters, watch them reincarnate into monster fruits, and then return to the Chaos Tree.

If they don't do this, they will be labeled as such by angry people and given a "fair and just" "trial."

Just one glimpse of this "judgment" from afar is enough to make one lose their soul. To continue living in this world, they had no choice but to bury their dreams.

During this period, the tail-end team also went through many attempts to change people's prejudice. But just like before, they never won against the gossip reporters. How could the result be different this time?

In the end, they hit the wall over and over again, leaving only scars all over their bodies.

Everyone gradually fell silent.

The above is the darkest event that historians call "the biggest and worst event in human history."

……

After an unknown amount of time, everything gradually calmed down. The tail-end team tacitly agreed not to mention the incident, as if it had never happened and they could continue their carefree adventures as before.

But everyone knows that the scars in one's heart cannot be erased no matter how hard one tries. It may seem invisible, but it reminds everyone of its existence through repeated pain.

This is an indisputable fact. No matter what, it is impossible to go back to the life before.

"(Did I really make the right decision? Did I make a mistake? Should I have run away at that time...)"

Yiyin questioned himself again and again in his heart. He even began to think about starting over and walking the path he had chosen again.

Will everything get better?

No one could tell Yiyin the answer.

This bitter fruit can only be borne by oneself alone...

Although I want to say this, it is fortunate that Yiyin has never been alone, which is a world of difference from before he traveled through time.

"You should have told me, Iin."

Bubulu's words hurt Yiyin, and he felt really sorry for his brother. But if he didn't do this, no one would be able to leave.

"Do you remember that time in Shadow King Village? It was you who tore up my application for admission, and it was you who stood up for me, allowing me to make a second friend besides the Big Sister. But I will never forgive what you did. Grandpa said that those who run away from the battlefield are no different from cowards!"

Faced with Bubulu's accusations, Yiyin had no intention of defending himself.

"If you want to hate someone, hate me. Turn this hatred into motivation, then take revenge on Ouroboros and find out the truth about what happened to Bruno back then..."

Truth only exists within the range of weapons. If the tail-end squad had the power to defy fate, they wouldn't have fallen to this point. But the world is unpredictable, and they are just a group of trainees.

"Let's go, Dean Nicole wants us to go to the dean's office."

Di Qi became even more silent. That incident did not have a profound impact on him. After all, as a member of the Leighton family, he had already witnessed things that were more profound than this.

.

Dean's room.

Since Chairman Lion Yao voluntarily resigned, Dean Nicol has suddenly looked eighty years older. Although he is revered as the "Immortal Elder," he is not truly immortal.

"children,"

Although Dean Nicol looked weathered, his voice was still easygoing. "It's time to discuss your future."

The last-place team was so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe - were they going to be fired too?

"On the contrary, I'm going to give you a lot of credits—enough for you to graduate."

As they spoke, Instructor Bai Lu and Instructor Hei Lu walked in. One of them played the bad guy and the other played the good guy, and they personally awarded graduation badges to the last-place team.

Together with the Gemini mentors was mentor Kim Baker, who rarely had a sour face. If you looked closely, you could see some traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Congratulations, children! You are free. No matter where you are in the future, always remember that you all came from the Cross Base."

……

It was clearly a moment of joy, but everyone was speechless.

Yes, they graduated, which means... it's time to separate.

"Say something, everyone."

Selina's voice softened noticeably, no longer carrying the aggressive tone of a big sister.

"Even if it means telling boring jokes, I want to preserve the last moments with you."

"Big sister, stop joking. We are just graduating, not leaving Blue Star." Jiaozi tried to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but it was of no use.

"This day has finally arrived."

Yi Yin's heart was heavy. "If I hadn't come to the Cross Base, I wouldn't have met you. Our fate began with the Cross Base, and it will end with the Cross Base. It's time to say goodbye."

Bubulu suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "The Blue Planet is round, and we'll meet again. Since we're all here, I have a suggestion: in five years, no matter where we are, we must return to the Cross Base for a reunion."

"Bulu Bulu." The Sibu Xiang said nothing, but just nodded.

"Since our core members say so, I have no choice but to do as they say." Jiaozi put away his smile and said seriously.

"Humph."

Di Qi snorted lightly, and he was already quite restrained by not calling everyone idiots.

Five years?

"Then, it's a promise. Five years from now, in this place that carries so many of our memories..." Yi Yin choked up, "Let's work hard for that day."

Everyone was about to go their separate ways, but they were not discouraged. To fulfill their promise in five years, they had to work hard to become stronger in the next five years.

That year, Yiyin was eighteen years old.
