The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1331

Chapter 1331: The Right Vibe

Rae’s design plan was to have the buildings start out a bit shorter, with the classrooms making up the first ring around the tower, as the grounds closest to it were outdoor training areas already.

There was no reason to change what was working, and having the shortest buildings in the middle allowed her to create the visual impression that the tower was an object caught in the web, weighting it down.

Her first decision was what colour the new buildings should be. The old ones were boring, made of mostly bricks.

That design didn’t blend in with anything, and it didn’t really work with the vibe she was going for.

"Powerful enough to protect hatchlings" was what Rae wanted the Academy to convey.

Making everything out of easy to climb and easy to destroy brick wasn’t exactly a statement of power.

But dark and brooding wasn’t well suited to the open plains, where the Academy was situated. It would be better to go with something more nature themed. Trees might be a bit too hippie. But there had to be a compromise in between going full nature priest and full spider goddess.

Then she had a most brilliant idea. They could go fully modern instead.

The central spire was a huge white stone spire, and the thought of making a whole academy out of such bright stone gave Rae the ick. However, she could make it all out of crystal, and that would be pretty good.

All crystal wasn’t really practical.

But the reflective windows of the Capital’s big buildings were reflective. So, she could use them for the shiny bits. Then the local tan sandstone for the rest.

Make the Academy blend in with the surroundings, like the stones of the badlands.

Or a giant anthill.

Still good enough for a hive of humans.

Karl tried not to laugh as Rae rapidly adjusted what she thought that the buildings should look like, and then did it over again, when she realized that you couldn’t have both sandstone and walls of mirrored windows.

She could have sandstone lower levels, with mirrored glass spires out of the buildings that should be taller, though.

And rounded walkways, so they looked like they were made of webbing nets.

[Make them open, but protected from rain and cold with a barrier.] Hawk suggested.

Then, it wouldn’t feel like they were trapped inside, even if they were out of the rain.

Karl was beginning to fear the nightmare of impossible physics that Rae’s design was going to turn into. Fortunately, Remi had architecture books with her. They would serve as the basis for the buildings, and then magic would make the rest of Rae’s plans possible.

Working with mental communications, the whole plan was finished in five minutes, and Karl had just started to clean up the ground level.

The teachers were already going through the ruins of the buildings, separating surviving supplies and materials from the rubble, while the blue dragons frantically sorted through the Library’s ruins, recovering scrolls and books.

They wouldn’t be ready to start working nearly as early as Karl had initially expected.
