The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1362

Chapter 1362: Training Scenarios

Karl changed the scene around them and created a room full of illusionary Nobles, then smiled at Rue.

"You won’t always have that person with you, even if you find one. So, we will start training you in how to do it alone. Prince Lukas, do you mind standing in for our lesson? I need a substitute King to be the target of today’s lesson." He asked.

Prince Lukas smiled, and walked to the throne that was set at the head of the table.

Karl nodded. "For this lesson, I will first teach you the requisite skill, then your job is to recover the cursed item before it reaches Prince Lukas. How sharp are your senses?"

Rue shrugged. "Almost as good as a dragon’s?"

"Oh right, I meant how are your abilities to detect magic and curses? We will work on those other senses later as well. But I need to know what you can sense, so I don’t make it too easy.

Obviously, the three Myths in the room will notice the item very quickly, as I’m making it something you should find on your own. We will work up in difficulty later." Karl explained.

"Oh, in that case, I can feel the ripples in the mana when I’m standing near a magical item. But I can’t smell it or anything, like some dragons can."

Karl smiled. "Perfect. That’s a skill that most Elves have. They’re quite attuned to nature and magic. So, I will make this one easier for you, until you understand the process.

The goal is to eliminate the item without making a fuss.

Sometimes you want the traitor to be exposed. Sometimes, you just want to foil them without anyone noticing. Ruining an opportunity will cause them to scramble and make mistakes. Mistakes that will get them into the sort of trouble that they can’t lie their way out of."

{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Pilfer] will be transferred to the Terrified Pushover Rue.

{Matching Skill Found in Skill Tree} Skill [Void Grab] activated.

Rue smiled as she read the description of the spell, which had been available on her skill tree before. It was just what it sounded like, the ability to relocate an item with Void Magic from someone else’s person to her inventory.

She could also use it to grab items from across the room to bring them into her hand, like a form of [Telekinesis]. The only real restriction seemed to be that she had to be touching the person to move an item in their possession to her inventory.

Using it to grab things that were just out of reach seemed way more useful.

The illusionary Nobles began to mingle, and Cara pushed Rue forward into the crowd to begin her training.

The room might all be strangers to her, but Rue had been well-trained, and shared a polite greeting with the few people who chose to speak with her, and then smoothly moved along, searching for whatever item Karl had prepared.

It was a shiny stone with [Mana Suppression] on it, that was standing in for a cursed or toxic threat.

It should be something that she could detect, and it was definitely one that the others had, as Lukas had looked directly at it when Karl cast the spell, and Barry was scribbling frantically in his notebook.

The first guest came up to present Lukas with a gift, and the Crown Prince chuckled as he realized what Karl had done.

He had given Rue a timer to work on.

Eventually, everyone would have to present their welcoming gifts to the Crown Prince. It had to be done before dinner, so the head of every family or group would be approaching him soon, and handing him their gift, for him to place on the table behind him.
