“Soul Drenching Squirrels?” I frowned, taken aback.  Back then when I'd encountered the Acorn Master, he had mentioned something about those beasts, but of course, not many details. Could those really be what he was speaking about?  My attention was redirected to those five, giant squirrels descending from the mountains towards the men.  That was not really what made me entirely surprised. What did, was the mighty bellow that came from the leading animal, causing the one-third remainder of the hundred men to be dispelled from the beguilement which Kira had made on them through the use of Animal and Spirit Brotherly Illusion.  The remaining few of the hundred, on realising that they had been beguiled into killing one another, their eyes were filled with fury. One of the survivals was Derizante, he was entirely abashed by the situation, as he'd boasted indifference, previously, at Kira's threat.  Apart

  The air was tense.  Previously, it was only because I'd actually activated my “Eye of Insight” (the name I shall now call my new ability, after the breakthrough) that I was able to see how Kira had pulled her spirit out of her body.  Despite the ravenous, tiger-like grandeur that her spirit took, a spirit was only a spirit — it carried no definite shape.  An analysis of how Kira's spirit looked like is a lantern genie. Back in the realistic earth, where I came from, there was this movie called “Aladdin”. He had this blue genie that took the form of a human from head to stomach, but below that was just a free, waggling, intangibility that could be compared to the drafting smoke.  That was exactly the form Kira's spirit took, save for being colourless. Despite having Eye of Insight, I could still see through her, as though she were only just... transparent.  ‘Boom!’

  “Knowledge in The Way of Savage Beasts?” I asked, feeling the agitation rising inside of me. One must understand that after utilising my Fingers of Knowledge in acquiring the knowledge of every single book currently in the Book Collection Vault, I wouldn't pale much among top-notch geniuses in the Way of Savage Beasts, yet this princess just had to pick that challenge against me.  “Un,” nodded she. “Since you've already agreed to the challenge, there's no need for you to think of redrawing, it's impossible... unless you intend to apologise to all three of us princesses, right here, right now—”  “That won't be necessary, let's get on with it,” I said with a smirk on my face. She probably took my astonishment for frustration, but I couldn't be bothered to explain myself.  “Humph,” she sneered at me, before looking at the crowd and saying, “As we all know, Knowledge in the Way of Savage Beasts is the criteria of passing the 1-star Beast Taming examinat

  Going through the same procedure as Lu Peng, I was able to reactivate the door of the examination room, and as I stepped in, I felt as though I'd been teleported to a different world entirely.  About me was a garden with lots of peculiar flowers with a brushing smell of vitality from it.  Looking around me, I realised that there were no houses or buildings whatsoever. The only thing that stood was a grand wall designed with all types of carvings. My eyes lit up, immediately.  “So this is the Wall of Puzzlement!”  It had a nourishing aura coming from it that made one engulfed in a feeling of warmth. I was able to quickly put aside all the previous activities that replayed in my mind.  Stepping forward, I observed the wall, and read out the first line of words on it.  “In a world of distrust, who is your closest kin?”  I shook my head in disbelief. Just what kind o

 Two days had already passed since I left the Beast Hall. Hence, I'd been able to achieve an in-depth knowledge in the Way of Beast Taming after having refined the knowledge I'd acquired of beast taming from the Beast Hall's Book Collection Vault, through constantly going through the library of informations in my head.  Roy no longer shared a room with me. Uncle Ramsey had finally prepared a room specially for savage beasts, as he'd promised me he would. This also goes to say that my new savage beast, Little Wolfy, did not lack an accommodation as well.  When I got back from the Beast Hall two days ago, and relayed the news of me beating those princesses to a duel and officially becoming a beast tamer, the whole house was struck dumb. Still, it only added to my “prowess” — well, as a genius, I can't really help it.  About those two maids the other day, I'd finally been able to cremate my hypothesis. With the Eye of Insigh
