The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1375

Chapter 1375: Should Have Brought Snacks

After five minutes, the two contestants were thoroughly humbled, and grateful to escape the ring.

"Oh, that’s what I forgot. We didn’t call for staff to bring refreshments. If they’re going to be training, we should have at least one palace maid on hand to call for drinks and light snacks." Karl realized.

"And Popcorn." Dakkarian muttered.

Librarian Barry smirked. This was definitely popcorn worthy. He had expected the children to be humbled, but the gargoyles had been holding back on them far more than he realized.

When they were facing a trained combatant, they were brutal. Adorable, but brutal.

And Karl had found the perfect way to torture the dragons. The bunnies triggered their species’ innate prey drive. They wanted to hunt them, needed to hunt them once they got started.

And then they lost the fight to prey.

Even if their mind knew that it was only logical to lose to gargoyles who had much more innate combat potential than they did, their instincts screamed at them to improve themselves, and that it was shameful to not be winning this fight.

"Alright, I need to try. We’re all tutors, not soldiers, but one of us has to be able to land a hit." One of the older blue dragons insisted.

"You know we’re like the worst possible choice to win this contest, right? None of us are even combat instructors." One of the others noted.

"Oh, that’s an idea. Let’s bring a Palace Guard. We can top up the mana for him to fight." One of the others suggested.

The Palace Guards were mostly Overlords, ceremonial in nature, while the soldiers outside were Totems and Myths.

One of the tutors ran outside, then came right back in with a door guard from the Library, who looked thoroughly confused.

"We need you to beat up the bunny." The dragon was explaining.

"Librarian?" The guard asked, hoping for clarification.

"It’s a training exercise. The goal is to land a hit on the bunny maids, and the tutors here have all realized that they cannot. So, they want you to try and prove that it is possible." Barry explained.

"Do we have a healer?" The guard asked.

"The bunny is a gargoyle. She will regenerate within seconds, they have innate [Trollish Regeneration] level self-healing." Karl offered.

The guard frowned. "If that’s the case, what am I even doing guarding the Library? That thing can likely beat me senseless."

Karl shook his head. "The enchantment will set their attack power and movement to your level when you’re in the sparring ring. This is a training room, not a punishment."

The guard nodded and drew his blade before entering the ring.

As usual, the maid curtsied as she drew her weapon, a battle staff this time, with metal balls at the ends.

The battle was immediate and furious, with two trained combatants going all out with each other. Five strikes in, the guard grabbed the centre of the staff, trying to gain control.

But the bunny was more agile, and used his hold on the staff as leverage to give him a double footed kick that slid him halfway across the arena.
