All the people dropped their jaws. Whether they were students who fought against the Libation Fiesta, the teachers who witnessed their battle, the viewers behind the screen, the principal and the vice principal of the academy, or even the investors, all of them simply couldn’t believe it.
Melody could fly, and the others could also use abilities from beasts.
The first thing that came to their mind was definitely a human experiment.
"You… You… Why did you—" The principal wanted to say something, but Hana stopped him by saying, "I told you, didn’t I? My new product is a new application of beast souls. It is by no means a fusion between a beast and a human. This new application of beast souls is the same as traditional beast souls, but instead of their unique ability, it is their body features."

"!!!" The principal’s body trembled.
Utaha gulped down. There were definitely people that wanted to ask Hana, and she was there to represent all of them as she asked, "Can you explain this new application of beast soul, Miss Hana? I’m sure that all the people would like to hear."
"I’ll explain it in simple terms." Hana nodded. "Let’s take the butterfly wings for an example. The beast soul of those wings are actually powdery abilities, allowing humans to excrete powder.
"It might not be useful for most people, so we are changing the way it is applied. Instead of using it to excrete powder, what if we just use the organ that produces it, which is the wing? And that’s the result.
"Of course, you might wonder how we do that? Are we modifying the human’s gene? If that’s the case, will we remain as humans? What will differentiate us from the beast in the future?
"And that’s where you’re wrong. This is probably the biggest downside of the new application of beast souls. It’s that you are only able to use it on one part of your body.
"Because before we’re putting the beast soul, we are creating a bowl underneath their skin, which is connected to their nerve system, which allows them to control this beast soul at will.
"That bowl will be used to contain the beast soul itself, which will also help in the removal process. Yes, removal process. Unlike the traditional beast soul, this new one can be removed because they’re only connected to your body, not a part of your body.
"Removing this will allow you to retain your humanity without a single ounce of fusion, unlike the traditional beast soul.
"By taking this concept, we are able to grow a part of the beast on our body." Hana raised her hand, showing the scythe-like arm that suddenly grew out of nowhere. "And this is temporary. I can remove it if I want.
"Have you ever thought about how it feels to have wings? How will the battle differ if you can just attack them from above? What if you are able to have claws on your hands? There are many more possibilities to explore with this new beast soul. The only thing you need to know is that only the external parts, not the outer parts.
"For example, you can get ears, tails, eyes, wings, and so on, but you can’t get their poison sac, their heart, or whatever." Hana ended her explanation with a smile.
The people were stunned. All the people that watched the annual event completely stood still.
In a high-rise building, a middle-aged man wearing a suit suddenly stood up and said, "Where is my car? Hurry up! I need to go to the academy right now! Don’t you dare to fucking stop me. Cancel all my schedules!"
In a military base, an old general dropped his cigarette and shouted, "Prepare the military helicopter!"
In another academy, the old principal slammed the table and shouted, "We have been had! All those opportunities are gone!"
In the Skylark Mansion, Hana’s grandfather was simply sipping tea while looking at the sky, "Haa… This is just a calm before the storm. I guess I have to step in as well. I can’t let those greedy bastards swallow my competent granddaughter."
The forum exploded.
"We have to get the new beast soul!"
"If a scout can fly, they will become much more efficient."
"Just look at Melody, bro. You can bombard the enemy by carrying a bag of explosives."
"No. Look at those spider legs. You can basically attack the enemies with ten different arms, not counting your own legs!"
"This is madness."
"I need to tell my company about this. They need to get a quota… No, they need to cooperate with the OpenSky Company."
It didn’t take too long for the new product to become a national sensation. All kinds of media immediately came to the academy to also watch with the rest of the people.
As Hana said, a new way of fighting had just been discovered.
The principal pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "To think that you would even make something like this…"
"I already said, not me. I’m just the one popularizing it."
"The one who discovered it… it wasn’t your friend, right?"
"No. He just found the research. As for the researcher… he had passed away. He passed away from old age, and the research was found in a fallen city. And that was the extent of what I could share. Unless I received permission from his family or his teacher, I couldn’t reveal more of his personal information."
"It’s understandable." The principal let out a long sigh.
"Miss Hana… Will this new beast soul replace the traditional beast soul?"
"No. As I said before, both applications of beast souls have their own advantages and disadvantages. In fact, they might be able to be combined together. Jay’s arm, for example. What if you combine it with a beast soul that can improve the strength of your arm? That explosive power will be something you have never seen before.
"This new product is an exoskeleton beast soul, or in short, Beast Soul EX. You will need to train in order to summon it and utilize it, but it shouldn’t take too long. This will be the new era of beast souls. Please visit my company if you would like to get one." Hana ended it with a playful wink.
