Chapter 5: I’ve Already Promoted to Iron!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Parker said, not forgetting to mention the paycheck.
He was a little jealous. Wouldn’t it be great if his father gave him a month’s salary as pocket money?
Why did he have to give it to Su Bai for free?
2
Could it be that his own son could not compare to Su Bai, this trash who was not even an Iron-tier?
Moreover, the fact that his father used Su Bai as an example to educate him made Parker even more dissatisfied with Su Bai.
Thus, he could not help but stand out now, targeting Su Bai.
He said these words to make his classmates laugh at Su Bai.

Sure enough, the chatter in the class intensified after Parker finished.
“What? Su Bai resigned from the orchard?”
“What is he thinking? Doesn’t he know how difficult it is to get the job?”
1
“That’s right. Every day he just has to let the Iron-billed Sparrow catch bugs, while he sits there collecting his pay.”
“It’s such an easy job. You can even get 60 federal dollars every day. Others can’t even find a job like that even if they wanted to.”
“If Su Bai and Parker weren’t classmates, he might not have found such a good job.”
“Parker’s father actually gave Su Bai an extra month’s salary? How benevolent.”
“Su Bai sure is thick-headed…”
…
All of a sudden, the class was filled with discussions.
2
They were all mocking Su Bai for not realizing the situation.
One had to know that Su Bai, this Beast Tamer who was not even in the Iron-tier, might not even be hired to sweep the streets in the future.
After all, with the help of his battle servant, the efficiency of sweeping the streets was much faster than him.
At this moment, Teacher Anthony finally spoke:
“Keep the volume down.”
After the students shut up, he frowned and said to Su Bai: “Su Bai, you have to understand that the minimum requirement to enter the training ground is the Iron-tier.”

“This is also for your own safety. I think it’s best that you don’t force yourself.
“Besides, I think it’s good to work in the orchard. You can earn two thousand dollars a month.
1
“That’s pretty good for you.”
Even though Teacher Anthony seemed to be thinking for Su Bai, his tone clearly sounded like he was looking down on him.
Catching worms in the orchard was not bad for Su Bai?
Was this not an insult, or what?
After hearing Teacher Anthony’s words, Su Bai’s expression did not change.
He said indifferently: “I’m already a Lower Iron Beast Tamer.”
“What?!!”
After hearing Su Bai’s words, the class was like cold water being poured into hot oil.
The discussions that had been stifled started to stir again.
“Am I half-awake? Su Bai actually said he leveled up?”
“Oh heavens, could this Su Bai have gone crazy after holding himself back for so long?”
1
“I already told you guys not to mock Su Bai. Look what happened, he has gone crazy.”
1
…
The students were in disbelief.
They would rather believe that Parker had become a Bronze Beast Tamer than that Su Bai had become an Iron Beast Tamer.
They couldn’t be blamed, though.
After all, Su Bai had not advanced to the Iron-tier after three years, which gave them an impression that was too deep to forget.
They had already subconsciously decided that Su Bai would never advance to the Iron-tier in this life.
This was the history of the Federation for more than 200 years. Once one failed to advance to the Iron-tier in school, one would almost never advance forever again.
After graduation, he was better off going to the orchard to catch worms and sweep the floor. He would be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
This was Su Bai’s true destiny in the hearts of his classmates.
And now, Su Bai actually said that he had already advanced to the Iron-tier. This news was really too shocking!
When Anthony heard Su Bai’s words, not only was he not happy, but his expression also turned ugly.
As he spoke to Su Bai, his tone became stern: “Su Bai, the most important thing in life is honesty.”
“What’s the point in lying to me!”
2
In his eyes, Su Bai was clearly a bad student who liked to boast.
1
This made Anthony hate Su Bai even more.
After Su Bai heard Anthony’s words, he finally became helpless.
Aren’t these people’s prejudices towards me too deep?
Although it was somewhat ridiculous that he had not advanced to the Iron-tier in three years, this did not mean that he would not be able to in his lifetime.
But looking at the expressions of his classmates and Anthony, Su Bai knew that they did not believe him at all.
Thus, Su Bai could only emphasize again:
“I’m not lying.”
“I am indeed a Lower Iron Beast Tamer.”
Right now, Su Bai only felt pity.
Unfortunately, the Federation’s law stated that one could not summon one’s battle servant in public.
Because they were afraid of accidentally injuring civilians.
Otherwise, summoning the Iron-billed Sparrow would be more convincing than anything else.
Some students had obviously considered this point, so one of them suggested: “Teacher Anthony, isn’t the field empty now?
“How about we let Su Bai go there and hand over his battle servant? Everyone will know the truth then.”
In the school, the field was the only place where battle servants could be summoned publicly.
There was no better place to verify Su Bai’s words.
After hearing the student’s suggestion, Anthony nodded: “That’s a good suggestion.”
He then looked at Su Bai and said coldly: “Su Bai, it is not too late to regret now.”
“If you admit your mistake now, you’re only embarrassing yourself in front of the entire class.”
“But if we go to the field, you will be embarrassing yourself in front of the entire school!”
1
After Su Bai heard this, he said plainly: “That doesn’t matter. Let’s just go.”
He knew that if he did not show his battle servant, he would not be able to successfully register.
In that case, he could only go to the field and show his strength.
“You really don’t know what’s good for you!”
Teacher Anthony sneered and walked out of the classroom without any hesitation.

The students in the class followed closely behind Su Bai and Teacher Anthony as they walked towards the field.
