Seeing how agitated these young men were, and even suggesting that Starlux Gym be closed, Hash could not help but frown.
The recent happenings in Starlux Gym had clearly affected the reputation and authority of the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters.
Looks like I have to re-establish authority for the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters!
Thinking of this, Hash stepped forward and looked solemnly at the agitated youths.
“Let the attack on the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters and Starlux Gym end here! The current situation is just that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym has been temporarily cut off.”
“But I can promise you that this will not affect the Starlux Gym’s usual opening of the training ground today. You can still use the training ground.”
Although Hash’s sudden action of standing up for Starlux Gym and the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters had taken these youths by surprise, when they saw Hash’s messy hair and sleepy eyes, they immediately felt that her words were not convincing at all.
“You can promise us? Who are you?”
“That’s right! Do you have the right to represent Starlux Gym?”
“Are you the Acting Gym Leader that the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters sent to Starlux Gym?”
“…”
“Heh, it’s been a long time since I heard someone talk to me like that.”
Seeing the aggressive attitude of the youths, Hash was not angry. She merely chuckled and revealed her identity, “I’m Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer who has just arrived in this base city. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.”
“Elite Beast Tamer?!”
These youths were originally glaring at Hash angrily and agitatedly, but when they heard that this woman, who looked like she was still sleeping, was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, their eyes immediately widened. Clearly, they were unable to accept this fact.
“You are Her Excellency Hash? In that case, is that huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle in the corner of the square your spirit beast?” After recovering from the shock, one of the youths boldly asked this question.
The reason why these young Beast Tamers did not enter the reception area directly after arriving at Starlux Gym was because…
Their attention had also been attracted by the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle in the square outside Starlux Gym.
Although they did not participate in the previous protest at the Beast Tamer Association’s Branch two weeks ago, they had also heard from others that the person who resolved this problem was the youngest Elite Beast Tamer, Hash.
As for Hash’s huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, it was said that it was a spirit beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank.
Therefore, when they saw this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, they were all curious if Hash was resting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle as rumored.
However, they were also afraid of disturbing the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and Hash, who might be resting on its back, so they only dared to stand afar and watch quietly.
It was not until Hash walked out of Starlux Gym and said that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym had been cut off that they realized that they were here to train.
What they did not expect was that this lazy and listless-looking woman in front of them would actually say that she was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash.
“Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle? What happened to it?”
Hearing that someone had mentioned her Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash waved towards a corner of the square.
“Hey! You didn’t cause me any trouble, did you?”
They then saw a ‘rockery’ in the corner of the square suddenly move. The Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle stuck its head out of its shell and looked at Hash in bewilderment. Then, it shook its head.
“Okay! Good child!”
Seeing that the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle had responded to Hash, the few young Beast Tamers were in utter disbelief and fell into a daze.
Although Hash was outstanding in both appearance and figure, her current demeanor and image had indeed shattered their beautiful fantasies about the rumored youngest Elite Beast Tamer.
“Giles, I think they have no more issues now.”
Seeing that the young Beast Tamers were silent, Hash asked Giles about his plans, “In that case, what do you plan to do about the current situation?”
“I’ve seen the amount stated in the Spiritual Energy Supply fee notice. It’s not a small sum.”
The meaning behind Hash’s words was obvious. Giles also knew that if he asked Hash for help now, Hash would make up for the fees he owed.
However, Giles wasn’t planning on doing that.
“Sister Hash, please wait here for a while.”
“I have to connect the backup spiritual energy in the training area and the emergency power to the reception area first.”
“It’s the only way I can use the computer in the reception area to pay the bill online.”
Giles’ thoughts were actually very simple.
Similar to all the other Beast-taming Gyms, the spiritual energy supply in each work area of Starlux Gym was independent of each other.
Therefore, he planned to contact the spiritual energy supply station and pay off the expenses incurred by the reception and training areas first. He wanted the spiritual energy supply station to supply spiritual energy to the reception and training areas first.
This way, he could at least ensure that Starlux Gym would be able to operate as usual today. He would also have a day to think of ways to solve the money problem.
Seeing that Giles didn’t ask her for help with the payment amount, Hash couldn’t help but feel surprised.
After all, the amount written in the spiritual energy supply fee notice was definitely not a problem that Giles could solve with a month or two of his salary.
However, Giles still insisted on not asking her for help, which meant that Giles was already prepared to use his own savings to fill the hole in the expenses.
Although the increase in spiritual energy in Starlux Gym was caused by Giles’ Metal-feathered Eagle and Giles should be the one to cover the cost, his resolve to shoulder the burden alone and not seek help from others was very admirable.
Alice, I didn’t expect your younger brother to be so responsible.
The longer I interact with him, the more certain I am that he could shoulder the responsibility of being the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.
“Giles, you actually know how to connect spiritual energy and electricity? When she heard Giles say that he was going to connect the training area to the reception area on his own, Hash couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy and electricity in the various work areas of the Beast-taming Gym were public resources, so they could not be connected to other routes easily.
“Sister Hash, there’s no problem on my end.”
Giles waved a hand at Hash to tell her not to worry.
“I usually help people deal with wiring so I have experience in that.”
Giles’ words reminded Hash of when the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters had contacted the staff from Starlux Gym. Those staff had a good impression of Giles.
This was because Giles usually went to the other work areas to help them deal with some small matters after finishing his work in the spirit-beast section.
Giles’ current actions also confirmed what the staff members had said. While Giles was helping them, he had also obtained a lot of experience dealing with unexpected situations.
Even so, Hash was still worried. She called out to Giles, who was preparing to go to the training area.
“But if you’re alone, isn’t it too dangerous?”
“Why don’t we contact the other staff members of Starlux Gym first?”
“Sister Hash, if we do that, we’ll probably have to wait for a while, because the other staff members start work at 9 AM.”
At this point, Giles looked at the young Beast Tamers who wanted to borrow the training ground.
“But to them, they would be able to train for more than an hour, so it’s better to resolve it as soon as possible.”
Giles’ words left Hash unsure how to respond because for now, it did seem like the best solution.
Unexpectedly, Annie, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, “If the only problem with the spiritual energy supply for Starlux Gym is the bill, then I can help you resolve it.”
