Karl motioned for the newly chosen Elites to come forward so that he could make a lesson plan.
"First, as I'm being assigned to help train you, I need to know what you know besides the basic combat training of the Church soldiers. What skills did you get from your class, and what do you have available? Other than Nikki, the Tiger Monk, you are all Beast Rangers, so your skills should be similar." Karl began.
The others gestured for the odd man out, the lone Beast Ranger that had a Moor Cat, to do the explanation.
"Well, Beast Ranger is a ranged combat class, with our teammate as our close combatant. The first skill that I got was [Deadly Accuracy] which boosts my skill with a bow. But I also got a system reward for going first, and it gave me [Shadow Meld], for hiding in the forest to set up an ambush.
If I am reading the class description right, we should all gain extra stats and abilities from the bonded beast that we chose. For certain, my agility and strength have increased substantially." He explained.
One of the other boys nodded in agreement. "For those of us with a Cerro, it's our strength and stamina. Jogging over here behind them wasn't even enough to raise my heart rate. I got the same starting skill, but no bonus.
Once I have a couple of points, however we get those, I can start picking bow skills like Infinite Arrows and Lightning Bolt."
The others nodded. "The skills seem to be the same for all of us. So, we will be good at working in a group."
Karl chuckled. "You have no idea how true that is. You see, your Lightning Cerro can learn to extend Refreshing Lightning over you with relative ease, and the whole group with a bit more difficulty. So, you will be excellent at working in a group, as your partner is specialized in team defence.
For the one friend with a Moor Cat, you are clearly the team's scout, as you specialize in stealth, and I will start training you with the rogue types in my group to build your skills."
"You have a powerful Rogue in your team?" The Ranger asked.
"Technically no. But I have a Monarch Rank Bloodbath Spider, and if there is anything in this world that knows about ambushing and becoming the reason other species fear the dark, it's Rae."
The cadet looked concerned about actually being able to learn anything from a Spider, but Karl hadn't mentioned that Rae could take on human form yet.
"Now, for the Tiger Monk, what are your skills?" Karl asked.
"I have two basic skills right now, [Energy Strike] and [Merger]. One is self-explanatory, the other lets me boost my power with my Moor Cat's presence when she is in my mental space. There are skills in my skill tree for us to fight together, so I don't think it's supposed to be an all the time thing, but more for when she is recovering, or it isn't practical for us both to fight." Nikki replied.
