“A chance?”

Only then did Giles, who had snapped out of it, notice that Hash was now standing between him and Annie.

“Yes, a chance.”

Seeing Giles look at her curiously, Hash nodded at him.

“Ever since the Beast-taming Gyms in this base city were closed for a week under the Beast Tamer Association’s notice, the evaluation sections have been opened again since last week.”

“However, as Gym Leader Alice has been away for a long time, the evaluation section has yet to be opened up even until today. You can only loan out the training area for Beast Tamers to train.”

“This situation has already been reported to the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters by a Beast Tamer who lives on a nearby street. The Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters also places great importance on this special situation that has occurred in Starlux Gym.”

“After learning about your performance in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament and the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters decided to let me, an Elite Beast Tamer, evaluate your ability.”

“And the content of this ability evaluation is very simple.”

At that, Hash paused and looked sideways at Giles. He pointed to Annie, who was standing on the other side.

“That is to have Miss Annie, who obtained the Starlux badge because of a violation, bring her Gold-rank spirit beast to Starlux Gym to challenge it again.”

“Giles, if you can use your Silver-rank spirit beast to defeat Annie’s spirit beast, then as the referee and a witness, I will send the recording of this battle to the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters and provide the relevant proof on your behalf.”

“After passing the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters’ evaluation, you will be appointed as the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym until Gym Leader Alice returns to Starlux Gym.”

“During this period, Starlux Gym will open its evaluation section like the other Beast-taming Gyms in the base city, providing evaluation and challenge services to Beast Tamers who live in the nearby streets.”

“Furthermore, if you can possess more than three Gold-rank spirit beasts after becoming the Acting Gym Leader, you will be officially recognized by the official authority of the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters and officially become the tenth Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.”

Just like Giles had speculated in his mind previously, the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters’ punishment for him was as simple as deducting two months of his salary because Hash, who was an elite Beast Tamer, had helped Giles a lot when handling these problems.

The reason Hash helped Giles and Starlux Gym was not only because she admired Giles after interacting with him, but also because she and Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, were ex-classmates and old rivals.

Therefore, Hash planned to groom Giles into a qualified Beast-taming Gym Leader while Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, was away.

When Alice returned, she could give her a surprise and prove that she was stronger than her.

Most importantly, if Giles were to officially become the tenth Gym Leader of Starlux Gym under her grooming, Alice, who would then become the previous Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, could retire early.

This way, Alice, who was now free, would have plenty of time and energy to chase after her, the leader.

Alice, there’s less than half a year left to the three-year bet between us. I won’t let you use the excuse that you’re busy after becoming the Gym Leader.

When she imagined her old rival, Alice, returning and seeing her younger brother, Giles, who had grown up with her, become the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym under her care, Hash could not help but smile.

It was so bad that she hadn’t noticed that Giles had been deep in thought for a while after she proposed the details of the ability evaluation.

In her opinion, Giles, who had grown up in Starlux Gym, had no reason to turn down this evaluation that could gradually help him transition from being an “Acting Gym Leader” to an “Official Gym Leader”.

Besides, this was an evaluation issued by the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association. Furthermore, this also involved the fundamental interest of whether the Beast Tamers from the streets around Starlux Gym could come here to have their strength evaluated.

In other words, even if Giles lost to Annie in the upcoming evaluation, he was not allowed to turn down this ability assessment!

However, even though Hash was extremely confident, she did not expect Giles to be in a situation that was far more complicated than what she knew.

To the current Giles, he no longer cared whether he was the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym or the official Gym Leader.

However, apart from the need to use the training ground, the Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby streets also needed to go to the Beast-taming Gym to have their strength evaluated.

If the evaluation section of Starlux Gym remained closed, they could only go to the other Beast-taming Gyms in the base city.

This round trip, together with the evaluation and challenge duration, would take at least a day.

If the evaluation section of Starlux Gym was open, they wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.

Therefore, the Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby streets had sent a joint letter to report this situation to the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters.

However, Giles planned to reject the Beast Tamer Association’s Headquarters’ suggestion for the ability evaluation.

This was because although the Metal-feathered Eagle’s data had already reached the standard for a Gold-rank bird-type spirit beast, it was still a Silver-rank spirit beast.

Moreover, it had been nearly a month since Annie’s Green-tailed Cat broke through to the Gold rank.

Giles had fought Annie a few times before and knew the Green-tailed Cat’s situation very well. He was indeed confident that the Metal-feathered Eagle could defeat Annie’s Green-tailed Cat.

However, the Metal-feathered Eagle might break through to the Gold rank in the next day or two. Giles had no way of ensuring that the Metal-feathered Eagle would not encounter any accidents in battle, so he did not plan on letting the Metal-feathered Eagle fight.

Moreover, if he really defeated Annie, Annie’s Starlux Badge would be taken back.

To Beast Tamers, losing a badge had a huge impact on them.

This was because there were only a few months left until the Global Beast Tamer Tournament began.

Most importantly, even if Giles agreed to accept this ability evaluation now, the spiritual energy supply for the training ground in the evaluation section, which was used to accept challenges from Beast Tamers, had already been cut off.

Hah, looks like I can only use the reason that the Metal-feathered Eagle has yet to recover to postpone the ability evaluation. I’ll get Sister Hash and Annie to come back in a few days.”

“After I deal with all of them, I have to solve the problem of the spiritual energy supply as soon as possible.”

Thus, after a few seconds of silence, he said something that neither Hashi nor Annie expected, “Your Excellency Hash, Miss Annie, I’m sorry. I can’t accept this ability evaluation right now..”
