The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1337 Elite Academy Life

”Can more enter while he is working?” Inquisitor Niall asked as he watched the replay from the teacherʼs station at the entrance to the Rogue Training building.

Rae nodded happily. ”You can come and go freely. It isnʼt an instance like the Trial Tower. But that also means if someone kills the living things inside, youʼll have to use mana to replace them.

Most of them are part of the illusionary domain, and easy to replace. But some of the stronger ones are actual golems and summoned creatures.

Those will take more mana.

The adjustment for the power level of the creatures inside is here on the panel. I set it to default to Commander Rank, which is manageable for all the teachers, but you can turn it all the way up to Totem Rank if you want.”

The Rogue stared at Rac for a moment, and the spider shrugged. ”What? Your skills will get rusty if you donʼt practice, and I give you another four hours before youʼre forced to advance to the Totem Rank just by standing here.”

Still, a Totem Ranked haunted forest was a bit excessive in a facility designed to train children.

Karl watched their interaction, and decided to add a few details for clarity.

”The spell itself is Mythic Rank. The fact that it stops at Totem Ranked is for safety. You see, the Mythic Blessing reduces damage by ninety percent. So, the core structure of the spell will only take ten percent damage from Totem Ranked targets, meaning that it is easier to repair and maintain.

But it also will only take one percent damage from students, as the Totem and Mythic Blessings stack.

At that rate, the natural regeneration of most of the elements in an Illusionary Domain will cause them to self repair without anyone having to take direct action.” He explained.

”That is true for every training building that we constructed. So, if someone can find Professor Tank, he can go wild in the Berserker Training room without worrying too much about damaging stuff.

Well, as long as the students are in the safe room. The aftershocks of a Totem Ranked battle normally cover many kilometres, so theyʼll be bouncing off the walls of the Domain.” Rae added.

That was one complication that they hadnʼt been able to remove. The Illusionary Domain could only be so much bigger than the building that they put it in, but the shockwaves of a high-level battle covered quite a large area.

As evidenced by the lack of any standing trees within fifty kilometres of the Academy.

It was a good thing that Karl and Oobleck hadnʼt fought a running battle, or they would have almost certainly gotten one or two towns within the radius of their destruction.

While the foliage wouldnʼt survive any better next time, there might still be some buildings standing if another similar fight occurred over the Academy.

It wasnʼt much, but even if Karl crashed down on the Rogue training building, it would only punch a hole in the roof.

”That is going to be incredible. You did create some extra space in the dorms, right?” Niall asked.

Rae nodded, then winked at him. ”I also made an extra building styled as apartments, just in case you have a sudden surge in teaching staff.”

Niall smiled, then paused.

”You didnʼt add it out of benevolence, did you? Itʼs there because you didnʼt want to mess up the pattern of the web you created, and there were identical buildings at the other three cardinal directions.” He realized.

”Oh, heʼs good. Yes, I put it there for symmetry. But the current teaching staff only needs two buildings, and not even all of the two buildings, so there is an extra for teachers and a building for guests. Rae explained.

”Rae designed enough space for the student population of the Academy to triple. That might put a strain on teaching staff, but if things keep up the way theyʼve been going, youʼll need all the space and possibly a second Academy location.” Karl informed the gathered staff.

Rita shrugged. ”Another Academy Location is inevitable. We have been calculating the number of likely students, and there are already plans to create one in the Capital. The new potion that Remi gave us has awakened so many students that weʼre hardly using the skill forcing method these days, and weʼre getting over half the students as Elites.”

Karl smirked at her. ”Soon, you will have to rename them. When half the population has a Class, ʼEliteʼ doesnʼt hit quite the same.”

Rita rolled her eyes. ”You know, theyʼre only Elites after they graduate, right? Weʼre considering changing the graduation requirements so that only the strongest gain the title of Elite, while the majority of the population might have a class, but not the status.

It will be hard on the pride of the older generations, but many of our students have already started to call us ʼlegacyʼ Elites.

They know that things have changed, and the new generation is growing faster than any before them. Look at Sybil. Sheʼs already as powerful as I am, and sheʼs barely old enough for a standard admission.”

Karl shook his head. ”Sybil is a special case. How are her cars doing, by the way?”

”Still sensitive. Most of the time, she wears earplugs to dampen the excess noise. But when sheʼs working, theyʼre possibly her most valuable asset. You canʼt even hide by staying perfectly still because she will hear your heartbeat.”

Rita explained.

Rae smiled. ”We should make her a vampire. She would be an amazing vampire with hearing like that.”

Sybil frowned at her. ”Thank you, but no changing my species. How would you even do that?”

Rae shrugged. ”There has to be some way. Iʼm sure that if I asked Nilla he would know the answer. You would like him, Nilla is funny, and his blood smells like

cookies.”

Sybil rolled her eyes. She was not the least bit interested in how the vampireʼs blood smelled.
