The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Roommates

The Cleric made notes as they talked, and when he had finished with his list of questions, he stood from his chair and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's get you moved to a recovery room so that your head can recover. As far as I can tell, that is the most pressing issue. The rest is all incidental, and it should sort itself out with only a few more sessions." He declared.

"Well, that's all that we can really ask for, right? But can I ask a favour? Our tenth group member, Tori, underwent a resurrection ritual, and she should be showing up somewhere soon. Could you please let me know when she is found? I'd like to do something for her, regardless of whether they're going to see if she's compatible with the Injection again in her new body or not." Karl asked.

"Of course. The Church is keeping an eye out for her, along with a number of others. The Hill Giant war front has been brutal lately, and they have resurrected a number of Elites. It's a common enough request, so I will put it on your notes, and when there is news, someone will come to inform you.

But you should really rest first. Nothing is better for healing than time, and we will have a specialist come to check on you in the morning." The doctor informed him with a smile.

"Wonderful. Where are we all staying?" "We all? Commander, this is a hospital, and you are a patient. You will be in a recovery room, while the others will be in their own rooms, though you will likely all be in the same ward, as you came in for the same evaluation." He chuckled.

Karl laughed. "You make it sound like I'm some sort of invalid."

The Doctor looked from his arm, which was still in a sling, to his head, which still had a visibly healing scar on one side. "Alright, point taken. Where is this room?"

The doctor gave a sigh that spoke of released tension, and left Karl with even more questions. Why was he so uptight? They had just finished the meeting about his experiences, and Karl didn't think that it had gone that badly. The man shouldn't have a good reason to be so nervous.

The room that he led Karl to had three other Elites already there, all Awakened, and all sporting visibly missing limbs.

"Gentlemen, we have your fourth roommate. Welcome Commander Karl to your little group, please. He will be here for a bit, but not as long as you, since his cleric managed to find and reattach his old limb." The doctor informed the men in the room.

The hospital beds didn't look comfortable, and the room was full of strangers, not exactly prime sleeping conditions. Karl considered asking them to reconsider the arrangements, but coed naps in monster made hammocks didn't seem like they were a hospital approved activity.

"Hey everyone. Good to meet you." Karl greeted the three other Elites in his room for the evening.

"Dude, you're a freaking legend. It's an honour to meet you." A bearded blonde man missing one leg informed him.

"A legend? I just got here." Karl replied with a smile for the enthusiastic Elite.

The three all shook their heads, and the blonde man continued. "Word spreads fast here. We don't have anything to do but gossip. Word is that your team killed a Royal Rank Frost Giant, even after being ambushed, and made it back to tell the story. But even before that, we all knew who you were. We were on the front when your team blew up the Frost Stone and knocked out communications for an entire battlefront, then just chilled in the wilderness killing Giants until someone brought you a new radio."

Karl smiled. "What should we have done? We've been running away from Command Staff interrogations and paperwork since before the war started. We came straight from monster subjugation missions to the border when it all kicked off, and I've been doing my best not to be in a main camp overnight ever since."

Their laughter caught the attention of the staff, who sent a white robed acolyte with a nurse's hat on to yell at them.

Only, when she arrived in the room, the first thing that she saw was that they weren't arguing and that Karl was still in his armour.

"Would you mind putting your gear in the locker, and changing into a hospital gown, or one of the many available recovery outfits?" She requested.
