The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606 Acolytes

Karl motioned for the acolytes to come forward with his empty hand, and then offered each of them one of the many Giant Strength rings that he had acquired.

"Do I want to know where you got so many of those?" Doctor Xander, better known as Skittles, asked.

"Probably not. But if you're doing the psych evaluations tomorrow, it might come up anyhow. Oh boy, do we have fun stories for you."

The doctor sighed, and the kids took the rings from Karl, holding them curiously, as they had no idea what such a crude metal band was supposed to be for.

Four of them were nearly identical, to the point Karl thought that they might be siblings with the same straight black hair, but there was one blonde girl in the group, and she was clearly the feral child of the group.

The first thing that she did when she got the giant ring was to bite it and then slide it over her hand like a bracelet.

She gave her arm a happy shake, then her eyes went wide as the ring equipped, and it moved to her left ring finger.

She made an inarticulate squeaky happy noise, and Skittles turned around to see what was going on.

"Sybil, where did you come from, and where is John?" He demanded, while also signing along with his words.

"Is Sybil deaf?" Karl asked.

"Yes, and she definitely isn't supposed to be here. She's two years younger than the others, and she's supposed to be on security restrictions after stabbing another child at the orphanage." Skittles explained.

Rae stepped out of her space and stared at the small blonde child.

"I want this one. She's got potential." The spider announced.

"You're just saying that because her first instincts are to bite and stab." Karl retorted.

"Well, yes. But I think that she will make a pretty good rogue. See, she already picked her class, or got it assigned."

Karl checked her with the system interface, and realized that yes, her name was in the odd yellow that was assigned to Rogues.

Karl considered his options for a moment, and then realized he had the perfect skill for a deaf Rogue.

Echolocation.

If he gave her an additional sensory skill, she would be able to see in the dark, detect most hidden targets, and she wouldn't be distracted by noises, as she couldn't hear them anyhow.

"Alright, I have prepared a plan for the development path of the young Rogue Class Elite. The other four of you, please introduce yourselves and try to get the ring to fit and adapt to you, the way that Sybil did." Karl instructed.

"I am going to look for John. We're short one of the original students, and he was with us at the doors." Skittles whispered.
