The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 New Advisors

When everyone woke up from their nap, they found that they had three more visitors to their group. Jill was sitting and waiting for Dana to wake up, while Colonel Valerie was entering with a dark haired young woman whose light chocolate skin was completely covered in tattoos, visible through the lace sleeves of her floor length black dress, and all along her chest and neck.

"Good morning, sleepy. I brought you your new advisor. I think that you two might already be acquainted in a way. You took over her old room after she graduated. Meet Morgana, the Witch Doctor, the newest member of the Bureau of Elite Development." Valerie greeted Karl in her business tone.

"It's honestly a pleasure to meet you. While I haven't been home to take proper care of the balcony, it has got to be the best room in the entire Academy." Karl greeted her.

Karl was going to give her a handshake, but when Remi came out on his shoulder to check out this odd woman, she pulled him into a hug, which put her face centimetres away from the snake.

"She's beautiful. What is your name, lovely?" Morgana asked.

"She's Remi, a Shaman Class Naga Spirit Snake." Karl explained.

"A shaman? You know, Witch Doctors are a type of shaman as well." Morgana replied.

"I thought that you were a witch? The others said that it was a Goth Witch in the room before me."

Morgana laughed. "That's because they're idiots. I'm a highly fashionable Witch Doctor, not a Witch and a Doctor."

She gave a little twirl, showing off the lace back of her dress, which exposed even more tattoos, and then summoned a small cloth doll, which she gave to Remi.

The snake coiled around it and hissed happily as she examined her new toy.

"Don't worry, it's not bonded to anyone. It won't cause any damage if she plays with it." Morgana assured them.

Karl gave her a slight bow, then addressed the Colonel, who was waiting patiently for them to finish.

"Are you certain that there will actually be time for lessons? From what I hear, they want us back on the lines again soon." He asked.

Valerie nodded. "There will be plenty of time. After the scare that you gave High Command, who didn't realize that your group had been tasked to take out the Royal Rank target alone, they're not going to let you go scouting alone again.

The group that you found was not sent to hunt the Royal Rank Giant, at least not officially. They were supposed to be scouting the region for a buildup of Giants because the cold was preventing us from high altitude flights over the Frost Giant nation. Losing them while you were tasked to the region hit the Command Group hard.

So, you're going to have to suffer in a main line camp with us and the Seniors from the Academy. It won't be attached to the army as you have been, instead it will be treated more as an Academy mission, with teachers present. Plus Bureau Agents, of course." The Nature Priests all made sympathetic gestures toward them, and the Colonel glared at them.

"You know, you could join them if you wanted." She informed them in a snarky tone.

"We're happy working here in the hospital. But I suppose that moving to a triage camp might be more in tune with nature. We will discuss it, and see if there are enough others available to balance out our movement." One of the Nature Priests replied.

From what Karl had learned last night, they specialized in treating elemental damage and mental health. With so many young Elites facing mortality for the first time, the hospital wasn't going to send away half their mental health staff.

Karl nodded toward the door. "I take it that you talked to the staff before you got here? I get the feeling that we're not going to be leaving anywhere in a hurry, so I wasn't expecting to see you so soon."

"That is true. They're not planning to let you out of here without at least a few more counselling sessions. I offered to take over for them, but apparently they doubt my credentials as a trauma counsellor." Colonel Valerie complained.

Most of the doctors who had been assigned to them were twice her age, and Karl wasn't certain that she had actually taken any higher education classes at all, so they might have a point.
