The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Poof Giant Spider

Lotus smirked at the group, sure that she was one of the few who could actually tell what had happened.

"He's got Royal Rank [Offensive Adaptation] active on him. Rae advanced, right? That means Rae advanced, it has to. Can we see her now? Did she get big? Is she shiny?" The little Cleric rambled.

Karl held up his hand for a high five. "Right on the first try. But she is still the same size, and I'm not sure why you would think she became shiny. But she did do a fine job grooming her carapace, so her fur is in pristine condition, and her legs are an extra bloody red."

[I want to do my grand reveal on the line.] Rae informed him.

"Rae says she wants to show everyone at once, so she's not coming out until our shift starts. That way, everyone can see how glorious a full-grown Bloodbath Spider can be."

Doug laughed. "Well, at least she didn't lose her sense of drama when she advanced. It would have been a shame if Rae became all boring and serious just because she was the only Royal Rank around at the moment."

Bob snorted in amusement. "I'm just glad to hear that she's the same size. I've gotten used to that level of Giant Spider, I'm not sure my heart could take an even larger version."

That morning, they decided to eat in the fort and let the clerics cook for them so that they could surprise the others when they got to the line and brought Rae out.

Everyone knew that Lotus was not built for keeping secrets, and if she had to sit all the way through breakfast, she would totally blurt it out.

So, they left just in time to head to the line for their shifts, while doing their best to avoid attracting attention from those with sharper senses until they arrived.

[Offensive Adaptation] was a passive skill that Rae shared with Karl, and he couldn't really turn it off. But that meant that it was pretty obvious that he had a Royal Rank skill to anyone who was around him and paying attention.

Heads turned as they approached the line, but Karl didn't say anything as he walked to his spot and relieved the team on duty, who didn't actually leave, they just stepped back a bit so he could take his spot.

Only once they were in position and the whole section of the line was watching did Karl call Rae out for everyone to admire her beauty and glory.

As soon as she appeared, the whole line went silent, before the Command Channel of the radio began to blow up with panicked comments.

[Who has eyes on the Royal Rank Threat?]

[No Threat Detected.]

[Nothing on the scope.]

[Fuck, it has to be close, I can feel it. Right flank, do you see it?]

[Right Flank reports no incoming threats.]

[There is a Royal Rank beast here, we can all sense it.]

[Copy that. Royal Rank Beast located. Currently, playing kickball with the clerics.]

[Gods Dammit. KARL!]

The absurdity of the radio confusion broke the tension, and everyone on the right flank turned to watch Rae playing with Lotus and Doug.

Karl could see the teachers storming their way, intent on chewing him out for not informing them that he had advanced. But the joke was on them, he hadn't advanced yet. Only Rae had.
