Chapter 61 Colonel Valerie Boris

Karl and Dana had no idea of the extent that the Elders were making plans for their future. Instead of worrying about those sorts of things, they were busy studying, and trying to find ways to grow their powers more efficiently. Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m

The fine control work that Dana had been doing with Hawk had helped her immensely, and Karl's growth rate didn't seem to be slowing at all, even though they hadn't gotten any new resources yet after his advancement.

It was almost as if his powers were just reaching maturity, and like his body had in the first two weeks here, they were beginning to enter the growth phase, where he would start to truly blossom and show off the real potential of his unique class.

While Dana worked on training the Golem to operate as their frontline combatant, Karl worked on constantly improving the mental living conditions for Hawk. It felt like the more that he improved the space, the faster Hawk was growing, and even after a few days of work, he was certain that he could see the change in the bird.

It wasn't getting larger, but the power was improving, and the lustre of Hawk's feathers was improving, as if his health was getting better, despite there being nothing wrong with him to begin with.

The minute changes in monsters as they advanced was a field with very little study done on it, as the leadership felt that being able to identify the general power rankings of the monsters was more important than guessing the exact progression rate of wild beasts. So, Karl was only able to guess by what he was seeing, and if he was right, then after only a few more months, Hawk would likely make it to the Ascended Rank, and his claws would begin to darken and turn glossy.

That growth level was feeding back to Karl, and his body was getting stronger every time he woke up in the morning, but more importantly to him, as a former late bloomer, it was not just getting taller, but he was getting toned.

Not in a burly and muscular sense, more of a professional athlete, lean muscle mass way.

"Karl and Dana will be training for individual and small group missions, and I wanted them to have a chance to say their farewells to the whole group before they go off with their new professor, Colonel Valerie Braless."

"Boris. My name is Valerie Boris." The woman snarled at him, looking like every student's worst nightmare.

Her uniform was so heavily starched and pressed that even standing here in the heat and wind, there was no sign of the creases relaxing, and with the sides of her head shaved under her cap and the gold lensed aviator glasses she wore, she gave off an air of unwavering uprightness and adherence to military regulations that no teenager would possibly enjoy. She was probably still under thirty years old and a powerful Elite from the first batch or the initial testing, but her appearance made it challenging to tell her exact age.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Colonel Boris." Karl and Dana replied in unison, causing the woman to turn and look down her nose at them.

"You may call me Professor Valerie." She replied curtly.

"Understood, Professor."

Even Sergeant Rita was distinctly not looking at the woman, keeping her eyes forward toward the rest of the class, as if she was signalling that the two of them had nothing to do with one another, and that her duties were to the advanced group training class.

The Colonel looked around the field one last time, appearing dissatisfied with something that she saw, then gestured for Karl and Dana to follow her as she turned and walked away without another word.

[I owe not so evil woman an apology. This one looks much more evil, I bet she doesn't even believe in snacks.] Hawk muttered in Karl's mind as they walked.
