The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664 System Favouritism

After a few minutes of letting the Librarian ramble about the past and the possible targets of the attack, Overlord Drath decided to change the topic to something a bit more optimistic.

"This isn't strictly on topic for right now, but we would like you five to help with the ceremony here in the Capital next week. We know that you all have fully active systems, and the Government will be providing System enhanced items for the testing.

That is why we would like you to assist. You see, there is no guarantee that the items will have the same reaction to being handed from a Nurse to the student as they would when being passed from one of you to a student.

We are hoping to maximize the number of successes in the Capital region, and we will have nearby Elites help with as many of the other locations as possible.

If nothing else, it will at least improve the Morale of the new students to have met a few working Elites before they reached the Academy."

Karl chuckled. "The guards on the train were the first experience for me, and they were remarkably helpful."

The General nodded. "They are typically chosen from the Elites that are good with kids, but not really good at much else. I have heard that it makes them easier to relate to because they're all Common and Awakened Rank Elites, the closest thing we have to just sending other students to pick them up.

We did consider that, by the way. As a sort of reward for senior students."

Karl chuckled. "That could be interesting this year, as so many of the students who are about to become Seniors have spent the last year on the Hill Giant border. At least, I assume they're still there."

Drath nodded. "They've been moved a few times, and cycled back to the Academy for rest, but they've spent at least half the year on the border, and they're stationed there right now."

Karl nodded. "I don't think that any of my people would have an issue with the plan to attend the ceremonies. How many middle schools are there in the Capital?" Drath thought about it for a second. "There are sixteen in the city, but they all do the injection ceremony at the opera auditorium so that their parents can attend and see the new Elites one last time before they go.

I believe that the smaller towns do it at the school, don't they?" Karl nodded. "Yeah, but not with parents present. We did it in the classroom, as there was only one class in our year. But the Lithium mines aren't all that large, so many years we have under two dozen kids in a year. Mine was larger than usual, but even then, there were only a few of us at the Academy. Possibly, only two. Unless I missed someone."

The Librarian frowned as the two talked. "How much do you have left to do in the city before then? I seem to recall that we were getting training updates from some students under your supervision."

Karl nodded. "We have these five lovely young Elites in our care, and they're making great progress. But we also have five Beast Rangers and a Tiger Monk from the Special Forces cadets training with us. We are going to try to advance that group in the next few days, as well as imparting some more skills and combat training to prepare these Acolytes for their time at the Academy.

I have been informed that the Army will be taking over the training of the Beast Rangers."
