The Deafening sound that makes the crowd, making Samantha to squinted her eyes in annoyance. Today is the day that eveyones been waiting for The Beast Festival. In the city there's people that livily chatting with each other but the rest of the crowd was heading forward to the Golden Academy, the once empty long path to the Academy is filled with ordinary people that wanted to witness the rare  Monsters Exam or also known as Beast Exam.

The rule is simple take down all your opponents to win every each rounds. The one stand still will have the honor to fight the Crowned Prince and be announced to be the Beast Tamer of the year. But the title is nothing to all the contestant what they want is the

ORB OF VALIR. The rare orb that can help you to cultivate faster than the rest, and a chance to be the advicer of the future King or anything they want will be their price.

Commoner or noble is both equal in this game, no one is higher nor loser. But for the student and the people of the Dandelion who gets the title will be the most powerful being aside from the Prince.

Natawa naman si Top pero sa totoo lang pati sya ay kinakabahan rin, the girl that sitting on the fancy looking  stage beside his brother is looking at them in serious stared. Earlier they received a letter from her saying to be extra cautious. Now he can't even focus because he's thinking someone in this students may attack him and killed him. He gulped at the thought.
