The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 599

Chapter 599 A Trying Morning

The next morning, when Karl woke up, he was completely disoriented for a moment. It was far too warm, or possibly too cold, if he had slept in, and this large soft bed was quite comfortable with Dana in his arms. But it took his brain a few seconds to remember that he had rented an apartment, and that he was home right now.

Strangely, it wasn't the comfort that had thrown him off, it was the temperature control.

The Divine Beast Nation and Newbon didn't use any of the human technologies, so everywhere just fluctuated with the natural temperatures, unless it was getting cold enough that they had started a fire in the fireplace.

But that felt different, as the heat came from a direction, where the apartment building had vents all through it to keep the perfect room temperature.

The sun was just coming up, but the High Priestesses had a formal testing and advancement ceremony this morning, while everyone else would likely be tested at the Cathedral as well, but without the strict requirement.

He could smell the food, and that was enough to rouse Dana from sleep and send her scurrying to the ensuite bath to get ready for the morning.

Karl followed her into the shower, and ignored the fake cries of protest that he was going to make them late. Two people could shower as fast as one with that massive overhead shower head and the side jets, while teasing Dana could wait until later.

They both dressed in the Commander Rank suits and went out to see what had made it here for breakfast.

"Ah, good morning, sleepyhead." Tessa greeted them with a smile.

"Are we, though? I don't see Lotus or Ophelia." Karl retorted.

"In the shower still. I had the kitchen send up some food before our test. We have pancakes, eggs, battered fried toast, an assortment of toppings and meats."

The way she said the last was with great disappointment, and Karl realized that the breakfast meat was just regular sausages and ham slices.

While they were very high-quality meats, they were not the Commander and Royal Rank meats that the group had gotten used to. The energy content would be a small fraction of the usual, and mostly it would just be filler.

"Do we have time to cook more? Or should I just have Hawk roast something?" Karl asked.

Hawk's flame control was impeccable, and it wouldn't be hard for him to fry them something to eat.

"We can have a heavier meal later. We need to eat fairly quickly if we're going to make it over to the Cathedral on time. I asked the staff when they brought the food, and there is a shuttle that can bring us there instead of walking. However, it looks like it's just a golf cart, and I'm not sure whether that's faster than going on foot."
