The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Prince and the Overlord

Dana gave them an excited look. "You think that is possible? I mean, if they could make a whole corps of Golem Mages, it would be huge for both the army and for major construction projects. I heard that was what they wanted to try to teach us all, just to see if we could learn the spell."

"More than just that. I think that they want to find an option that can be taught to people who aren't compatible with the Serum. I know there have been some attempts to teach sword skills to students who don't have the compatibility with the serum.

They've been a failure so far, the same as trying to teach them magic, but that could just be a lack of mana. Who knows, maybe they will happen upon something good, but that's in the future, and you two are too young to be worrying about your children's future." The team leader laughed.

Their laughter was cut short when Sergeant Rita returned with the Headmaster of the Academy, as well as the old mage who worked the transportation magic and two men in expensive looking suits.

"It is good to see everyone in such high spirits. We were just in a meeting about the incident when your reports came through the system, so these fine gentlemen came to speak to you all before they left." The Headmaster informed them politely.

If the headmaster was sucking up to them, these two had to be someone important, but Karl had no idea who they might be. There were too many important people in the world, from Elites to government officials and even Royalty.

"Royal Prince Axel, Overlord Drake, it is a pleasure to meet you in person."?The Special Forces team leader announced, while everyone else gave a hasty bow for the Royal.

Karl did his best to follow along, but he had no idea if he was doing the formal bow properly. It wasn't exactly the sort of thing that came up in class as a kid.

The burlier of the two men, with his long black hair in a tidy braid, smiled back at them. "No need to stand on formality. We're here on business, not in our official roles. I wanted to see the promising newbies, and to hear firsthand how they feel about seeing the real threat to the nation."

That must be Overlord Drake, as Hawk felt the man's power and warned Karl that he was dangerous.

"Overlord Drake, it's an honour. I must say, seeing Goblins for the first time was more disgusting than anything. They smell terrible, especially when they're dead." Karl replied.

Dana nodded her vigorous agreement, and the two men smiled back at them.

"That wasn't quite the response I was expecting. Weren't you terrified to have come across real monsters?" The Overlord Rank warrior asked.

"I don't think that it even occurred to us. The first group we found was only the six of them, and we were confident enough of taking them out, so by the time things got dangerous, we were already past the initial shock." Karl replied.

Dana nodded her head and added. "Goblins are horrifying creatures, but they're so filthy and disgusting that it kind of overpowers any sense of fear, you know?"

The Prince, with a slight smile on his delicate features, shrugged his shoulders. "I wouldn't know. I have seen many things since I graduated, but I have never met a Goblin in real life. I am told that the smell of them is somewhat revolting."
