Chapter 145 Drake Scale Potion

Chapter 145 Drake Scale Potion

Karl watched as Hawk shook the water out of his feathers, and then let out another little puff of flame, testing his new skill without setting off the alarm again.

"Do you think that he just needed more of the potion? Like multiple doses, the way that we had to double the dose when I was taking the first round of supplements? I don't feel like any of that potion went to me, it's all him, but I think it's possible that whatever change it was trying to create needs more than just one dose." Karl suggested.

Rita nodded. "That is possible. We could make another batch so that there is more, and then give him as much as he wants until the process is complete. As long as you have more drake scales, that is."

Karl smiled. "I think I will have enough of them. But for now, we can let Rae try her dose and see what happens." New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Rae stepped out of the space to stand beside Hawk and inspect him for changes, then carefully took one of the vials between her mandibles and drank it down.

[This is tasty, I kind of like it.] She noted as she swallowed the tonic.

But other than that, there was no visible reaction, and she wasn't showing any other signs of change.

"Well, it appears that she likes the flavour, but that's about all that she has to say about it. Thor might get a bit more benefit from a second dose, and Hawk almost certainly will, but Rae doesn't seem to be that compatible." Karl noted.

"That's a shame. But she's been doing well today even without a supplement. I didn't expect her to pick up on a skill as complex as Lacerate within a single day. If she had also been compatible with the potion, it might have started to push you close to the Ascended Rank already, and that would cause no end of jealousy among the other students." Rita replied with a laugh.

Come to think of it, Karl was feeling a bit more fit these days. It was a small and subtle change, but the beasts were still growing, and it was improving his physique. Not as much as theirs was, but certainly more than the minimal amount of training he did would account for.

"Well, we can save the testing for the end of the semester exams. By then, I think that Thor should be mostly grown, and Rae almost certainly will be at her full adult size. Their growth rate is phenomenal, but their bodies will reach full size before they have reached full strength for their species.

[Never. I will never forgive the water spells for daring to defeat Rend.] Hawk replied resolutely.

Karl's smile caught the attention of the others, but he just shook his head and tapped his temple with one finger, signalling that it was a conversation in his mind.

Rita shrugged, not particularly concerned about Karl's inside jokes with the beasts.

"Alright, we will drop off Thor first so that he can practice Earthquake, and then go over to get Hawk set up to improve his Fireball skills using one of the Fire Mages as an unwitting conspirator. Or a willing one, whichever works for you.

Should we find another training spot for Rae? Or is she content to practice where she is?" Rita asked.

Rae took a swipe in her spot, testing the lacerate skill, then frowned and shook her head, unsatisfied with the way that it activated.

[I am fine here. Unless they've got live targets for me. If they do, then I will come out to play.] She informed Karl as she tried the skill again.

"She's fine there for now, unless you've got live targets. From what I can tell, practical experience is the best teacher, and they can only learn so much in a controlled environment." Karl explained.

"That's true for everyone. No matter how good they think they are, the new students are always in for a shock when they head out into the real world. We will try to get you another mission soon, possibly one with other Awakened Rank students, instead of having you chaperone the other freshmen.

That should give you the enemies that you need, as the missions are usually higher risk, and they will normally have one Ascended Rank student with them, which reduces the risk if you come across a stronger monster." Rita agreed.

Karl smiled. They had already taken out one Ascended Rank beast, the Giant Beetle, which he had almost forgotten was still tied up in Rae's web.

"They will all be happy to hear that. Working together, we should be able to take on most threats that are within the mission parameters for Awakened Students."
