The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Everyone Out

The helicopter tilted and dropped toward a mountain valley, which signalled half the students in the vehicle to get their gear ready to depart.

Karl noticed that they were loaded in the back half of the helicopter, so their departure wouldn't cause a drastic shift of the balance, and the others spread out as they walked down the ramp, distributing the weight evenly again.

"You get used to it. Spreading out is not only more comfortable, but it makes for a smoother ride. If you're with a new group, teach them to do it. But mostly the new groups take the train.

We were supposed to take it as well, but the storm the other day damaged the tracks, and they're not fixed yet." The berserker explained.

"I saw that firsthand. We were stuck out in that storm, and we weren't sure that we were going to make it back to the Academy at all. As it was, we made it back only one day late." Karl agreed.

The first team was out, and the crew closed the door as the helicopter lifted off.

"Five minutes until the second team departs. Get your gear ready." The crew member riding in the back with them instructed.

That was faster than anyone expected, but they already had their bags ready. All they had to do was make sure that nothing was loose or out of place, and then strap them on.

The helicopter dropped only a few valleys over, where a small camp was set up. The team got out, and another team of twenty got in. These were older, and dressed for an extended time in the woods, whereas Karl was wearing the Academy's training uniform of cargo pants, tank top and jacket.

It was almost a military look, but anyone in the nation would recognize it as a Divine Golden Academy uniform.

"Seriously? Not only do we get a random group from all over the country, we get a kid fresh out of the Academy? Are you even Awakened Rank yet, kid?" One of the women asked.

"Pushing for Ascended already. I'm there in attack power, but still lacking some durability." Karl replied, resisting the urge to take the bait and get angry at her provocation.

The woman rolled her eyes, and snapped a punch at his face. Karl reacted instinctively, and raised the Lightning Barrier, which her hand hit with a crackle of energy.

"Oh, I like this kid. Didn't even flinch." The man beside the irritable woman laughed.

"Then are you going to take him on your team?" She asked.

"Yeah, I will take him. If he has Ascended Rank attack power and a lightning shield, he's not going to be a liability. But there's something about the look in his eyes. They're not natural, obviously, but they've got that placid look that large monsters give you, like they know you can't do a damned thing to them."

The woman just rolled her eyes, and the group started to split up into teams. They ended up with seven groups of three, and Karl moved to join the ones he had been lumped in with. _{freēwebnovel.com}

"Karl, Awakened Rank Beast Master." He introduced himself.
