chapter 689 job fair
once the sales pitch for the job fair was open, the announcers declared that the students could come up and meet with the elites. there was no need to do that for the others, they were about to become the elites, but for those left in the auditorium seats, this was a big event for them.
karl came down from the stage to meet with the kids, who looked shocked that someone was actually coming down to talk to them, not just answering questions from above.
"mister monarch, is it true that you led the soldiers to defend the north side of the city?" one of the kids asked, eyes sparkling with hero worship.
"not just me. my whole team spread out along the north side of the city so that we could coordinate. with so many brave soldiers on the line, we had to do our best." karl agreed.
a group of the kids immediately swarmed him to hug him, reminding karl that many of these people had family in the army.
the rest of the team remained on the stage with the school officials, though lotus was sitting on the edge to talk to the students.
the kids were mostly chattering to each other as they formed another question, then one of the girls pointed at karl and gasped. "i know who you are. you were on the news with the lightning cerro. i think you were still a commander or a royal then, weren't you? did you just advance? can we see the cerro?" she asked.
karl smiled. "thor is standing up on the stage right now. green hair and shining armour. it's a transformation spell that lets him look human. he will be glad to hear that you're a fan, though.
however, i do have one more friend that could come out to say hello. cara, would you like to meet the students?"
cara came out to stand on the edge of the stage, looking down at the students, then spread her wings to hop over to karl's shoulder. she leaned down with her paws on his chest to get a closer look at the kids, then nose bumped the girl and licked her cheek.
cara revelled in the attention as the kids began to praise her, and karl sensed thor mentally rolling his eyes. were the kids not praising him and looking forward to seeing the cerro only seconds ago? that shameless sister was just happily stealing all the attention.
but thor was fine with watching over his pack while they were among so many strangers, and not many things in the world could harm cara.
not that the kids were trying. they seemed to think that cara was some sort of domestic pet, and she had no problem basking in the attention for a few minutes.
{i don't know how to make the mouth noises.}
collective facepalms ensued.
"i didn't think about that. do you even understand what people are saying?" lotus asked quietly, not wanting to hurt her delicate ears.
sybil nodded and gave them a thumbs up.
{i think that the system translates for me like mister karl said it does for orcs because i understand perfectly without even seeing you talk. i've never heard words before, but i believe that you have a beautiful voice.}
lotus hugged sybil, who was laughing silently at how happy the priestess was to get a compliment.
[is the world supposed to be this loud? is there a volume control? i can hear people talking in the auditorium, and it's distracting.] sybil asked, messaging everyone in the room.
the rest of the team of recruits looked at her like she was crazy, but cara just shrugged. {sounds right. our dana has candy in her pocket, i can hear the wrapper crinkling.}
joan snapped her fingers, catching everyone's attention, and making sybil wince again.
"you used cara as a pattern. cara doesn't hear like a human does. you made her hearing far too sensitive. i can't hear heartbeats, or anything outside this room with the door closed. if cara can hear candy wrappers from fifty metres away through a closed door, that is definitely not human hearing." the young cleric explained.
cara and lotus stared at each other for a moment, then cara shrugged. {echolocation should work really well now, though. right?}
sybil sighed as she realized no help would be coming from the beasts, who viewed the mission as a success, now that she could hear. fortunately, she had some points available, and there was one which she could use to solve her problem.
[silence] dampens all sound within a specified area.
if she just cast it on her head, she wouldn't have to listen anymore.
