The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1336

Chapter 1336: Haunted House

"Alright, I am finished. If you want to send a rogue through, they should be able to test my obstacle course.

I did make a map for the teachers, in case someone gets confused. But there are controls by the door, so you can just teleport lost students back to you at the end of class." Rae explained as Karl finished the last of the runes to make her vision into permanent reality.

The exact details were obscured by the illusion spell, but some things, like the undead armies, the golems and other actual threats needed to be created separately, or they wouldn’t react properly.

Niall appeared next to Rae and took the map from her.

"Oh, you’re here too. Good to see you. I made a section in here just for you. You can’t get to it without permission, or without opening the vault door. See, right there is the Inquisition training area." Rae explained.

"And what is that?" Niall asked.

"It’s wonderful. Nothing but a crowded temple with one golem hidden among the illusionary occupants, so that students can hunt the traitor. I designed twenty different betrayal situations, some up to a week long, if it takes them that long." Rae explained with immense pride.

Niall stared at her in impressed shock.

"That is above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you, Lady Rae. Teaching students how to use their skills is one thing. Teaching them how to use their brains is much more difficult.

Especially when the enemy looks like a friend."

Rae smirked. "Some of us understand that better than others. Sister Lotus is still mad that someone killed her pet frog."

The Inquisitor, made a ’get on with it’ gesture, hoping for an explanation.

"She has a skill called [If Not Friend, Why Friend Shaped?] and she used it to tame one of the invading frogs in Drodh. Unfortunately, that only makes wild beasts friendly to her, and nobody else got the memo, so one of the Myths killed it."

Niall looked at the map of the training grounds, then smiled. "What is the goal of the forest?"

"You can use it two ways. Either to test combat abilities, or you can set a prize in the forest and have the students hunt for it with strong monsters around. That should test their stealth skills and their navigation abilities." Rae offered.

"And how many of the students should we expect to cry or wet themselves the first time they enter the trials?"

"Not more than half."

Niall laughed at her estimate. If nothing else, it would make their rogues into hardened Elites and not soft school children by the time that they had to go out into the world.

Then he turned to one of the teachers, a young man in leather armour. "Professor, would you like to test the trial grounds? Lady Rae is quite creative, and you have many self rescue skills for individual missions.

There are safety measures installed as well, but someone needs to test the layout to ensure it’s suitable."

Niall winked at Rae, who smiled at the teacher in a way that made his blood run cold.
