The Beast Tamer Is A Slime

Under the hunters' scrutinizing gaze, the special effect swept over Neo's body, and the little slime found himself holding a small brown book made of sheepskins with two golden words printed on the cover.

Then, while the slime's left hand held the tiny book, its right hand held a magnifying glass that came out of thin air. 

The book on the left hand opened on its own, and the slime diligently used the magnifying glass right in front of its right "eye". 

The slime's right eye became much bigger than the left eye. 

Seeing that the slime was just holding a book and a magnifying glass, the hunters visibly relaxed. 

The skill should not be an offensive one. 

But if there was a beast tamer among the hunters, they would immediately know what skill the slime triggered, and they would wish that the slime used an offensive skill instead of this skill! 

Unfortunately, the words [Beast Encyclopedia] were too small for the hunters to see, so everyone didn't see it and knew nothing about the triggered skill that served as a tool to peek into their deepest secret. 

After Neo calmly finished a set of annoying special effects, the next second, he saw a system panel suddenly appear above everyone's head. 

Not surprisingly, dense data slowly appeared on the system panel's blue screen. 

The first person Neo saw was Lina. 

[Beast Encyclopedia]

Hunter's name: Lina 

Gender: female 

Age: 25 

Awakened talent: [The Leader]  

Current talent rank: F 

Talent potential: C 

Neo knew that Lina was just an F-rank hunter, but a little surprised at the so-called talent potential.

He quickly try to find the answer in his own system panel and found out some things—

The hunters here could level up from their initial awakened rank, and the final destination was this [Potential].

It was possible that a beast tamer with an S-rank potential awakened as a C or D-rank hunter because of their physiques and other factors!

Thus, they had to slowly level up to catch up with their potential.

And this [Potential] was either the average level of the awakened talent's basic skills, or the highest level of the hunter's personal skill.

As for what was the so-called [The Leader] talent that Lina awakened...Neo still didn't know. 

This talent was not as well-known as his [Beast Tamer]. 

Soon, Neo shifted his gaze and saw similar data above Remy's head. 

Remy, 25 years old, an F-rank hunter, and her awakened talent— 

[Cheerleader]

The girl's potential was only D-rank. 

Neo wasn't interested in such a strange, unknown talent with a low potential rank and immediately looked at Daniel's data. 

Daniel looked like an elegant young man, but surprisingly, he was already thirty years old! 

But wait, what kind of talent is [The Seeker]? A talent to seek knowledge or some truth? 

Go be a detective, dude. 

Neo disdained Daniel's awakened talent, but to his surprise, this man's talent potential was A-rank. 

It was the highest among the six hunters so far! 

This sudden twist piqued Neo's interest, but thinking that Daniel harbored bad ideas about him, and he might also be a perverted mad scientist….

Neo immediately skipped Daniel as his potential target. 

Right after, he saw Tom, a twenty-year-old guy, who had a strange talent called [The Miser]. 

His talent potential was ordinary, only C-rank. 

Another garbage talent. 

Skippp— 

Neo immediately shifted his attention to Charlie. 

Oh. This guy was actually only eighteen years old, barely an adult. No wonder he was so cowardly. 

Let's see, Charlie's awakened talent...

Ah. It was another thing that Neo had never heard before. 

[The Survivor] 

The awakened rank was only F-rank, but surprisingly...his potential was B-rank! 

Neo widened his eyes in disbelief. 

How could such a weak guy have such a high potential? 

It was second only to Daniel, who was the highest among the six hunters so far! 

Now, Neo became even more confused. 

Charlie, who had such a high potential, was so cowardly, and he was the weakest among the six people. 

He acted like the handyman of the team. 

Even Tom, the guy with only a C-rank potential, could step on him at will. 

Why didn't Charlie fight back? 

His potential is B! 

Or maybe the people in this world didn't know their potential at all? 

It's impossible, though. Just by seeing the level of their skills, they should be able to estimate their potential. 

Neo didn't expect to find such a surprise, but soon, he focused on John's head that was currently serving as his bed. 

He was most optimistic about John. 

Looking at his combat skill so far, he should be the strongest among the six people. 

And indeed, Neo saw that this thirty-year-old uncle was actually not an F-rank hunter.

His current awakened rank is [F+] 

That's like one step closer to E-rank! 

And his awakened talent was even more favorable to Neo—

[The Protector] 

It sounded like a tanker-type guy. 

The best thing was that…John's potential was A-rank. 

To think that he found such a gem in the pile of F-rank hunters…

Oh, what did you say? Daniel also had an A-rank potential? That mad scientist didn't count as a pearl. At most, he's a cow dung. 

After discovering John's potential, Neo was so excited that he almost couldn't help but make a contract with John on the spot. 

But then, the slime calmed down and decided to see how these hunters used their skills. 

What if he found some unique skills among what the hunters use? 

Anyway, they would always use some skills when fighting those big slimes. 

That's when he could assess each hunter more thoroughly! 

Indeed, after resting for a while, the hunters started to get up one after another. 

"Okay, let's continue to clean up the slimes." 

Lina patted her cargo pants and looked at Charlie, who was packing everyone's backpack. 

She didn't forget to kindly remind Charlie. 

"Charlie, you go to the back. You don't need to kill slimes. Just keep our stuff safe."

"O-okay..." Charlie immediately dragged everyone's backpack full of today's spoils and walked to the back of the team's formation with weak steps. 

The young man lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the five hunters when he passed by. 

His face was paler than a ghost. 

When he stood at the back of the team formation, the boy hunched so low, as if this way, he could shrink and disappear on the spot.

Neo noticed Charlie's strange condition and was immediately suspicious of the boy. 

What's wrong with this guy?
