The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625 Ranger Training

For the new Rangers, the idea of fighting from a distance while avoiding hitting a very enthusiastic teammate was much more difficult than they had expected it to be.

They understood basic tactics from their cadet training, even some advanced group tactics, but none of those were prepared for an overeager Cerro who finally got a chance to charge a smashing pole.

Thor had made the poles short, only a little taller than the Cerro Hatchlings, as there would be times when they were fighting smaller monsters, especially when they were Common and Awakened Rank. But that meant that they had to hit the target without hitting the Cerro, and the hatchlings were not good at following directions to get out of the way.

They tried.

They actually tried very hard. They just had no idea what their new herd members actually wanted, so they ended up simply switching posts, or running around in circles for a minute before they were instructed back to order.

Thor thought that it was hilarious, but there wasn't much he could do to accelerate the process, as the whole point was to teach the Elites how to give orders to their beasts in a way that they would understand, while working together as a team.

Both Aaron and Jaime were working on their offensive attack skills for the remainder of the evening, guided by Ophelia, while Karl took on the training of their new Tiger Monk.

"Alright, first things first. You have two very different combat styles. However, after the bonding, the levels of physical capability aren't as different between the human and the Moor Cat as they were before, so we have these lovely volunteers from the Cadet force to assist us.

The others were doing the same training earlier, and the concept is simple. There are three of them, and two of you. You will pretend that I am your team's cleric or mage, and prevent them from getting to me.

I have cast a barrier over them, so you can go all out. They are using training weapons, but they will still hurt if you mess up, so be careful. Now, show me what you can do when you are working together."

The Tiger Monk class should have a number of defensive abilities, and Nikki's durability was greatly increased, while her Moor Cat would be in no real danger from a training blade unless she got hit too hard on the head or poked in an eye.

That left Karl free to see how the others were doing, and the chaos that was an exhausted Sybil and a confused Pat trying to find a way to attack Rae.

The spider had five guards encircling her, and Pat had ranged attacks, but Rae was not an easy target to hit, even if she was taller than most of her defenders.

Every time he thought that he had a good shot, she would move so that a defender was between them, or someone would force him to retreat and change his angle.

They were allowed to retreat, and the guards wouldn't chase them, letting them set up assaults on their own. So, it was just a matter of time until he finally found a way to get past the defenders.

Rae tapped him on the head with her mandibles, then changed back to humanoid form. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
