The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 687

Three days later, Karl was ready to deploy himself back to the border just to escape the Blue Dragon Clerics and their never-ending quest for knowledge.

But today was a special even that they simply couldn’t miss. It was time for the annual Elite Recruitment, and this year was expected to be a huge spectacle.

The Bureau of Elite Development had been teasing the reporters for weeks that the success rate would be going up, and the Injection Ceremony would have minor celebrities, in the form of Karl and his team.

Normally, it was done by doctors with a few Commander Rank and lower Elites on guard.

Karl looked down at the suit he had on, freshly made by Rae for the occasion, then smirked at Dana, who looked uncomfortable with the amount of gossamer fabric among the layers of her cream and gold coloured Hanfu style dress.

Rae was particularly proud of that creation, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer when Dana had suggested that she should maybe change into something less flashy.

As Dana had repeatedly mentioned, it was a recruitment for students, not a red carpet event.

"I have already told you. You’re a Princess Mage. You need to look like one." Rae insisted again.

"How about a coat?" Dana compromised.

Rae considered that. She had seen mages in long coats that split up the back before. They would hide the majority of her masterpiece dress, but if their Dana really did want to be covered up, she could make her still look like a Princess.

[Hawk, lend me some white fur. I’m making a coat.]

Minutes later, Rae had a long coat made for Dana, woven a bit heavier than necessary for the weather. It would be good for winter events this way, and it would encourage Dana to take it off once they were inside.

Rae wasn’t giving up on showing off her work that easily. Your next read is at empire

Besides, Tessa and Lotus hadn’t agreed to let her dress them up, as they had formal wear for the occasion, and Ophelia flat out refused to wear a dress, so she was in a similar suit to the one Karl was wearing, except that Rae had made the shirt a bit more flashy and ruffled, and the cut much more flattering.

The one thing that she had done for Karl was to give him an extra fancy fur trimmed cape in place of a coat. All kings needed capes. She had seen it in a book.

Plus, it was part of the official uniform for Monarch Rank Elites, though nobody ever wore it.

While she hadn’t gotten to do all the decorating of the humans that she had hoped, she had managed to get the honours of delivering the weapons that Karl had stayed up all night making for their students. They were simple ones, just a Commander Rank weapon suited to their preference, mostly short swords, with daggers for Sybil and spiked gloves for the monk.

But getting to sneak into the dorms at the Cathedral to deliver the weapons, all gift wrapped for their new owners, had been great fun while it lasted.

Nobody had even seen her do it.

Librarian Kelithuza came to meet them at the apartment to escort them to the meeting. The Librarian wouldn’t willingly miss out on the first chance to see a mass recruitment, so she had nominated herself to accompany the group that the Archbishop had sent to assist with passing out the System Linked items for the first round of testing.

"Lady Keli, it’s a pleasure to see you again. Hopefully, we are properly dressed for the event." Karl greeted her.
