The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Thor was almost tired when the morning classes ended, and he returned to his space for lunch, but Hawk was having a glorious time. Without Karl there to take up half the work, he got to just freely attack anything that he wanted, and according to the students, he had an uncanny talent for picking off the ones that were actually going to hit the moving targets, while ignoring the ones that would miss.

Even when they sent out a cluster of attacks, he would just knock a portion of them out and let the others fly past the target. It was incredibly energy efficient on his part, and it wouldn't have been possible with the stationary targets, as the mages would rarely miss those.

They were even beginning to take note of who Hawk seemed to totally ignore because their aim was so bad. Those mages were going to have to improve quickly because the rest of the class wouldn't let a giant bird make a mockery of them forever without joining in on the fun.

It was after lunch when things took a drastic change. Sergeant Rita, as well as the duo from the Bureau of Elite Development, had decided that martial arts training, now that he had sufficient proficiency to deal with minor threats without resorting to skills usage, was no longer the most efficient use of his time.

Instead, the afternoon would be a group training exercise for Karl with the pets.

Coaxing Rae to come out and play might be difficult, but today's practice was on the basics of working together against a target that was stronger than they were.

It was a situation that would inevitably happen in the future, and with three of them in the team, they could now easily work on group tactics.

"We have enlisted a small group of volunteers, and they will be your targets today. The goal is to intercept the three infiltrators and disable them without seriously harming them. These are all guards, so they know how to fight, but they are all at the Ascended Rank, so you can't just go all out with the attacks like you did against Tank and the barriers." Alice was explaining.

That got Hawk's attention, but Thor was disappointed. If he couldn't just smash them, it would be much less fun. But Hawk's explanation that these exercises were practice for being an adult was enough to get the growing young Cerro on board.

Rae considered the situation for a few moments, and then came out to climb up Karl's back and look at the battleground from relative safety.

"Alright, everyone is on board. The targets are instructed to take it easy on you, but they will be attacking in your direction with actual attacks. They are wearing training armour, but they are not going to be magically shielded so that you can take them down naturally.

I will step in if someone looks like they will be seriously injured." The mage instructed, while the volunteers smiled at the sight of Thor prancing around in the grass, eager to play.

They got into position, out of sight around the corner of a building, with Karl as their target. They would try to grab him, as abductions by foreign agents were a real threat, while he and the beasts would work to prevent that.

"The training that Hawk has gone through so far has done wonders for his attack strength, but Rae is a very fast learner, and her Offensive Adaptation innate ability makes deleting barriers a breeze. Just wait until she's fully grown, barriers a Rank above her won't even slow her down." Karl praised his shy teammate. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}
