The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Resources

Rita started to take textbooks out of her bag, but a very different set of books than Karl had been issued his first day here. These were all about magical beasts, their diets, traits, abilities, and other factors that might be relevant to Hawk.

"I will leave these for you, and come back tomorrow morning. What I want you to do today is come up with a care and feeding guide for the bird, and justify it with the information from the books. If it's good, and it follows the information that we have in a logical way, I think that I can get you some more resources.

At the very least, I can get some more of the mana infused monster blood. We stock quite a bit of that for the warriors and other classes who need an instant physical power boost." She informed Karl with a smile.

Rita left Karl alone with the stack of books on monster data, which were all written from the perspective of a Hunter. At best, they noted what the beast's usual diet was and where it could be found, but that was much different than a guide to help him properly raise them, much less one to raise them faster than usual to compete against wild beasts and magic users.

Fortunately, he only needed a care and feeding guide for Hawk to complete the homework, which was a perfectly reasonable level of workload for the day. Plus, he had a cheat.

"Hey Hawk, what sort of things do you think would make you stronger? Something that you could eat, or keep near you to grow extra fast." Karl asked the happy bird, who had settled down in the space inside his mind to rest.

[I like meat. And the red juice from the evil lady, and those blue fruits over there. Can I eat those?]

"Give me a second while I see what they are and what they're for." Karl replied, before opening up the notebook for the balcony greenhouse. _{freёwebnovel.com}

[{Mountain Gooseberries} Tasty treats for both humans and animals. Used to make monster bait. No nutritional value that I know of, but the smell will attract all sorts of monsters.

This berry contains a high mana content, suitable for creating mana potions of the weakest variety. Even in concentrated form, it is not as strong as a normal mana recovery potion.]

Karl read the description twice and then went to pick three of the berries.

"You can have this many, one time a day. If you eat too many, you will get sick." He warned Hawk.

Really, he just didn't want the Hawk pigging out on junk food when he had a whole pile of meat in the taming space.
