The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 Reporting In

Karl woke up early the next morning, thanks to his early bedtime and yesterday's activities burning off some excess energy. Dana was a warm ball in his arms, and the blankets on the smooth, slightly stretchy flooring of the fort were warm and comfortable, so he simply lay there a while, enjoying the downtime before he would inevitably be forced to get up and face the day.

His shift on the line was in the afternoon today, so he had morning exercise and a class with Morgana, who he noted still had Remi with her.

Or, at the very least, the Spirit Snake had not returned to her space last night.

He could feel her approaching just as the sun came up, and then the Spirit Snake was back in her space and ready for a long nap.

She had explored many places in the camp that she had never been to before yesterday, and she had met all sorts of people, and tried over a dozen different snacks that Morgana had prepared for her.

It was a good day, but she was still exhausted as she came home at the crack of dawn.

Karl thought about asking her what she had been up to all night, but Remi was already asleep on her altar, curled up in a protective ball around her lucky statue, with her head on the voodoo doll that Morgana had gifted her.

Karl carefully got out of bed, flipping the extra blankets over Dana so she didn't get cold, and then equipped his armour as he sensed someone approaching the fort on the ground.

[It's just the Morgana.] Rae informed him.

[Thanks. I'll go see her.]

Karl climbed down the ladder to find Morgana waiting patiently on the ground. "Alright, let's get going. I'm glad that Remi understood my message." She began.

"Wait, Remi likely understood, but she forgot and went to sleep as soon as she was home in her space. I have no idea what you've got planned this morning." Karl informed his Advisor.

"The extra fun stuff that everyone avoids like the plague. The Command Group wants you, Tank and the other pair to fill out a report on the battle yesterday morning. It's standard procedure for larger attacks, and nobody else could form a fully coherent report on what happened except you four." She explained.

"And we're doing this at the break of dawn, why?" Karl asked.

"So that it is done and sent off before the Command Group starts to whine about being kept in the dark. They wanted it yesterday, but everyone was either drunk or missing, and you were having some quality time, so I didn't want to interrupt you." Morgana replied with a sly smile.

They walked toward the camp, passing by the empty training grounds and the mess hall, where breakfast was still being prepared. "The report shouldn't take long to fill out, and then you can get back to your usual morning activities. The Academy says that three days a week of classes a week are enough while we're on the line. They think that the extra classes will burn out the students when they're needed for combat, so the actual Academy training will have to wait." She sighed as they reached one of the lesson tents.

Karl chuckled. "That has to be hard on the teachers. Or are you going to split up the students between classes so you still have duties every day? I mean, you can fill space on the lines, since you're all Commanders, but it's probably better to keep you in reserve."

Morgana shook her head. "That's about what it's going to come to. They're worried that now that we've proven we can kill Royal Rank Hill Giants, they will start sending them all the time, and that will leave us short on Commanders to deal with the actual attack."

"So, we're too good at our jobs, and they're worried that being too good at our jobs will get us a promotion in target priority? I suppose that is valid. There must have been other Royal Rank kills along the line, though." Karl noted.

"Of course. But I seem to recall someone making a spectacle of themselves yesterday."

Karl shrugged. "As I said before, Rae is an artist."

"Alright, that is fine. That as well. You actually write incident reports quite well. Did you do a lot of these in the mines?" She asked. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
