The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 All Day Long

After the break for lunch, with both Rita and Alice eating in tense silence at his table and scaring the other students away, it was time to go to the Mixed Martial Arts class for his physical training.

Tank was back again, ready to continue his lesson, while Daniel, Alice's partner, was sitting on a blanket at the edge of the training ground, waiting for the others to arrive.

"Come on over and get comfortable. Good to see you again, Rita." He greeted them, then waved at Karl and gestured for him to join the class as usual.

Karl wasn't the only one who could tell that Rita was annoyed at this point, but there wasn't much that she could do. There was no rule stating that the people from the government couldn't come sit and watch the class, and they weren't interfering with anything but Rita's development plans, which was within their operational authority, Karl assumed.

"Karl, you will be training with Tank today, while everyone else trains what they learned. Sorry about your luck, but you're the odd one out, and Sergeant Rita is busy at the moment." The professor informed him with a smirk.

Sergeant Rita would much rather be training than 'busy', Karl was sure. But Tank turned out to be an excellent combat instructor, with a profound understanding of both martial arts and armed combat.

Today, the big man had a wooden training sword in his hands, while Karl wore the training gauntlets that he had obtained from the train.

"Those should be good enough to block, but be aware that my strength is far above yours, so you don't want to try to overpower my attacks, just deflect them so you can counterattack.

If you can do it with your abilities, that's even better, just keep the power level down so that you don't chop through the training weapon. After some time, you will be used to the sparring limitations, but it is best to err on the side of caution for now." Tank explained.

"Alright. Are we having Hawk rest for the afternoon?" Karl asked.

"For today, yes. He got his training in the morning, and a growing beast needs a lot of food and sleep. But he will be watching, so you can consider this a theory lesson for him. For now, the two of you can fight together, but once his power level goes up, it is unlikely that your body will be able to keep up. Not many classes can claim the physique of even the more fragile Magical Beasts." He explained.

"So my job in the future is what? To train the beasts about combat and let them go at it?" Karl asked as they exchanged blows.

How many Windspeed Hawks are familiar with Martial Arts? How many of them even understand the intricacies of various magic spells? It might not seem like much, but your Hawk already has a massive advantage over other beasts." _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
