The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Contact and Contacts

Karl woke up the next morning to the sound of laughter, and stomping feet. It wasn't a combination that he associated with his room, which was normally silent, and for a moment, he was completely disoriented.

"Hawk, he's not a perch, I am trying to train the golem to fight." Dana's voice laughed.

The sense of confusion faded, and Karl hurried to get dressed before heading out to the balcony, where a nearly naked statue was doing some sort of Kung Fu, while Hawk sat on its head and chirped directions that neither the Golem nor Dana could understand.

"He says that the foot is too high, and it makes you vulnerable to leg sweeps." Karl informed the mage as he stepped outside to meet them.

"Oh, good morning. I hope you don't mind, I used the shower first. The plants are all watered as well, and I think that hammock is enchanted. I might not have slept for long, but I haven't felt this refreshed in a long time.

I was meditating, but Hawk was bored, so we started to water the plants, and then I thought I should try out my new spell. The Golem is good at smashing, but I think if it's used by someone who actually knows martial arts, it will get better.

The Golem responds to mental commands, but I know almost nothing about combat in that sense, so all I can tell it to do is basic attacks." She rambled as she adjusted the Golem's movements, so its steps weren't as high.

"If it works that way, you'll have to get the teachers to let you sit in on some of the fighting classes I attend. I use clawed gauntlets to fight, so it's almost the same as martial arts, even when I'm armed." Karl suggested.

"Or you can help me teach the golem. Once I understand the basics, it should be enough to get started." Dana suggested, with a determined look at her summon.

"Alright, let's start with the three basic combat stances, and then we can move to the guarding positions, since he already understands the basics of punch and kick from the spell."

Dana led the Golem to mimic Karl as he moved, and the Golem caught on incredibly quickly. They weren't intelligent in a true sense, but the spell allowed the Golem to be slightly adaptive, and the more it fought, the better it would do the next time that it was summoned.

The understanding was mostly the mages, but either the System or the spell itself enabled it to retain skills it had gained when dismissed and resummoned.

After about ten minutes, Karl and the Golem began to shadow box, holding back their powers so that they didn't actually injure each other, though they both had Awakened Rank physiques, at least in theory.
