The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 688

The speech was just as dull and long-winded as the one that Karl remembered, and he wondered if the local school superintendents all read from the same prepared speech.

Keeping a straight face and professional stance while the bureaucrat droned on was an art of its own, and Karl mostly entertained himself watching the various expressions on the faces of the students.

To think, it had only been two years since that was him.

Finally, the main speech was over, and the Superintendent gestured towards Karl’s group.

"The Elites will now begin the first round of the induction ceremony. This year, we have an improved process, and we have high hopes for an increased intake of students. Please be patient as they work, and an official statement will be released after the ceremony."

Karl and the others spread out so that they would each get a row of seats to pass the items to.

[You’re totally going to cheat, aren’t you?] Cara asked, but her tone was more of a demand.

She wanted entertainment.

Karl didn’t answer her as he passed the ring to the first student. The Acolyte accompanying him had gathered enough of them for the entire row of students, and the teachers behind him would explain the process to the students before the soldiers escorted them to the secure waiting room.

But since these students would be fully conscious, they would get to wave goodbye to their parents in the crowd.

The boy was sweating nervously as he slid the ring on his finger, and it fitted to him. His eyes went vacant as he went into a system notification, so Karl moved on.

Nothing happened to the second boy, who looked confused. But the third boy in line was muttering the word [Slash] over and over, evidently trying to manifest a warrior class.

[Do it. Come on, you know you want to.] Cara insisted, while Karl pointedly ignored her.

The ring equipped to him, and Karl moved on to a terrified looking girl who reminded him of Lotus. She smelled like dirt and flowers, and Karl could see that she had been playing outside right up to the start of the ceremony, without time to even wash her hands.

{Skill Teaching Request} [Bestial Regeneration]

Karl handed her the ring, while Cara gloated in his mind.

[Good call, that’s the skill that all Lotus type creatures need. They’re prone to self-inflicted injuries.] The Void Badger congratulated him.

Karl moved on, passing out the rings to the students. Well over half were able to equip the rings, and the guards were quickly getting overwhelmed with the escort missions.

They had started taking them three at a time because it was a long walk to the waiting room, but they were still having to run back to get the next batch.
