The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 674

Once the group had gathered outside the building where Karl could see them, he activated [Skill Master] on the students and their beasts, focused on the teachers that they would have for the day.

The young beasts and their Rangers were well behind the initial five now that the first group of Acolytes had taken Remi’s special potions, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t try to catch up as fast as they could.

The goal for the day was to help the Rangers learn their shared skill, and to work with everyone else to improve their combat abilities.

But only after Thor’s gruelling physical stamina improvement training.

It was working wonderfully, and the students were adjusting rapidly, but Karl did notice that the students were not getting the initial boost in physical development that the ones who received the injection did. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Karl had grown significantly while he was on the train, which was only a few days, and then again after they had reached the Academy.

But these students, who had all been awakened by System linked items, were not changing in that sort of way. Instead, they were growing physically at a perfectly normal rate, but their power level was increasing steadily, as expected from the training that they were receiving.

Karl turned to the clerics, who were watching the students, in case there was some visible effect from Karl’s abilities.

"I’ve got a question for you. I awakened five of those students with system linked rings, and six of them, the ones with the beasts, with quest items. But they’re not getting the sudden burst of growth and physical improvement that the students normally get from the Divine Injection.

It’s been over a week, and they look the same. No signs of rapid maturation, even for Sybil, the Rogue, who is years younger than the others. She’s younger than we had even expected to awaken, but she shows extreme compatibility with her class, and her progress rate matches the other students.

She even shows higher than usual growth rate for skill learning, but she still isn’t gaining the physical boost." Karl explained.

The Clerics nodded. "The clergy has noted that among others who were awakened that way. The working hypothesis is that the injection actually does have side effects, and that the rapid growth is one of them.

It is also possible that it is not so much a side effect as a desired outcome. The Divine Injection was created to give power to the humans who weren’t innately talented with magic. But it is a divine item, imbued with immense amounts of holy power.

So, there is a chance that the holy power interprets the Archbishop’s desire for powerful defenders of the faith as a need for rapid growth.

Of course, the more we study, the more we will know. But the fact that it is so obvious with your group shows that it won’t go unnoticed by the students once they’re sent to the Academy next week."

The clerics began discussing the various possible outcomes among themselves, then the oldest of them suddenly paused and began to laugh.
