The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467 Sparring

Orthos cleared his throat to get Karl's attention. "We will send you as close as possible to the destination tomorrow morning. There is still time before the anomaly opens, and you won't want to be standing around waiting for it. Is there anything that you need to make your preparations for the trip?"

Karl still had far too much prepared from the last time he had help preparing for a trip, and most of his inventory was filled with stuff he had gotten from the Elves. He had supplies for every conceivable situation already, so Karl shook his head.

The others did as well, as they had been prepared at home for an extended mission, in case they were stuck along the border for weeks trying to make a deal.

"Alright, then you have the day to yourselves. Do as you wish, just try not to cause trouble for others, they do have duties to attend to."

Orthos clearly considered the conversation to be finished, but some of the other Elders were intrigued by Karl's training skills, and eager to see what he was going to do next.

"Why don't we all go help the older students today? I worked with the young children yesterday, but there is still a group about to take up official duties that could use some practice with their skills."

And, of course, Karl was hoping that he might pick up one or two of them if he tried hard enough.

That wasn't a possibility with the youngest ones, they barely understood the skills themselves. But the older ones were close to fully grown beasts, so they should have a good understanding of their skills, and they would be trying to advance it to speed their progress through the ranks.

Like Thor and Rae, most Divine Beasts finished growing in body long before they stopped growing in power. The Dragons were an exception, as they never stopped growing, and some weaker species reached peak power before adulthood, but those were mostly considered wild beasts or monsters, not Divine Beasts with intelligence.

The older trainees were mostly in beast form today when Karl reached the training field, though there were a few half-breeds whose natural form was demihuman. Transformation was a skill that he would love to teach the team, but he could feel that it was Holy Magic from their Beast God clerical symbols.

Other than Remi, it was unlikely that any of the others would be able to use that right now, if ever, as they weren't exactly devout followers, much less ordained clerics. But there was zero chance that Karl would be able to steal the skill and teach it to them.

The bias between beasts and beastkin was eminently clear at this stage. The beastkin had mostly fallen behind in advancement and were relegated to the role of assistants, while the beasts were pushing to improve their power.

A winged wolf turned to nod at Karl as he approached, then smirk at Lotus with his tongue out.

"I thought that we would help you all with your skills today. You have gotten skilled at fighting each other, as you live and train together every day. So, today you can train with me and one of my teammates. We will give you pointers on improving your skills, as well any mistakes that you might be making in strategy." Karl explained, then turned to the team.

"Who wants to volunteer to help?"
