chapter 664 system favouritism
after a few minutes of letting the librarian ramble about the past and the possible targets of the attack, overlord drath decided to change the topic to something a bit more optimistic.
"this isn't strictly on topic for right now, but we would like you five to help with the ceremony here in the capital next week. we know that you all have fully active systems, and the government will be providing system enhanced items for the testing.
that is why we would like you to assist. you see, there is no guarantee that the items will have the same reaction to being handed from a nurse to the student as they would when being passed from one of you to a student.
we are hoping to maximize the number of successes in the capital region, and we will have nearby elites help with as many of the other locations as possible.
if nothing else, it will at least improve the morale of the new students to have met a few working elites before they reached the academy."
karl chuckled. "the guards on the train were the first experience for me, and they were remarkably helpful."
the general nodded. "they are typically chosen from the elites that are good with kids, but not really good at much else. i have heard that it makes them easier to relate to because they're all common and awakened rank elites, the closest thing we have to just sending other students to pick them up.
we did consider that, by the way. as a sort of reward for senior students."
karl chuckled. "that could be interesting this year, as so many of the students who are about to become seniors have spent the last year on the hill giant border. at least, i assume they're still there."
drath nodded. "they've been moved a few times, and cycled back to the academy for rest, but they've spent at least half the year on the border, and they're stationed there right now."
karl nodded. "exactly. three training days and a potion doesn't make a proper soldier, and it definitely doesn't make an independent elite. untrained fighters on the front lines are a nightmare."
the overlords looked like they were ready to retire to their own units for the night, but the blue dragon priestess had more to talk to karl about before he managed to escape from her.
"we can all discuss the motivations behind the attack later. elite karl, i have a request for you. you have a talent for teaching, and a number of rare skills. i would like to make a formal request for you to transfer those skills to the clergy scribes for distribution." she announced.
karl smiled and placed his hand on hers.
{skill teaching request} [lightning zone]
the librarian's eyes opened wide in shock, and she read the system message quietly, but audibly.
{pack master karl offers knowledge} skill [lightning zone] will be transferred to the alluring priestess kelithuza.
"hey, why does it mess with me, but flatters her? this is clear system favouritism." tabitha complained.
"a whole new skill, and a zone effect. that is lovely." the librarian sighed happily, before a sudden sense of dread spread over her.
"what are the restrictions on that skill book?" she asked, recalling the debacle of the [refreshing lightning] barrier.
karl smiled. "that's the fun part. i have no idea who can use it."
