"Dai Bao!"
Teacher Xia Tao's voice echoed across the training field.
Dai Bao stopped laughing immediately.
"Yes, Teacher!"
"You're next."
His face fell.
Shao Mei covered her mouth, but her shoulders shook from laughter.
"Good luck!"
"You were just worried about your own exams yesterday!"
"And now I'm not."
"Traitor."
"Move." Teacher Xia Tao ordered.
Dai Bao sighed heavily before walking toward the center of the field.
Song Jia stepped away to join the others.
As she passed him, she patted his shoulder.
"Don't embarrass me."
Dai Bao's eyes widened.
"Sis Jia!"
The others laughed.
Even Teacher Xia Tao's lips twitched.
"Enough. Take your position."
Dai Bao straightened immediately.
Despite his complaints, once the assessment began, his expression changed.
The joking disappeared.
His movements became focused.
Song Jia crossed her arms as she watched.
Dai Bao had always been naturally suited for Beast Taming and combat. What he lacked before was patience.
