Chapter 607 Feral Rogue
The guards came in with their hands on their weapons, looking for Sybil.
"Sir, do you know where the young offender is? She escaped custody, and has seriously injured another student." The guard asked.
"She's around here somewhere. Why don't you let me take custody of her? I will get her behaviour straightened out by morning, and you won't have any more troubles with her in the future." Karl suggested.
"You would like to personally take on the duty of caring for a troubled Orphan? My apologies, Your Majesty, but do you know how much effort such an undertaking will involve?"
Karl nodded. "I understand. I will explain the situation to the doctor. Besides, she has awakened as a young Elite now, so it is only right that we take charge of her punishment."
The guard saluted. "Doctor Xander will return soon. He is seeing to the treatment of the wounded child. He sustained a major head injury from a dislodged fire extinguisher."
Skittles came in, and the guards left, which confused the doctor.
"I told them that I would take care of our feral Rogue. Technically, I'm going to let Rae train her, but if a Bloodbath Spider Queen can't keep her out of trouble, I doubt anyone can." Karl explained.
"She fractured the boy's skull with that fire extinguisher strike. Now, I'm impressed that she could even lift it at her age, but she is dangerous."
The other four nodded in agreement.
Karl shrugged. "We are Elites. We're meant to be dangerous. Besides, all of you are Elites now as well. We can start everyone else's training tomorrow, but I will keep Sybil here for the night so we can calm her down and explain how things are going to work."
The warrior laughed quietly at the thought of their troublesome peer finally meeting serious discipline, while Owen the mage was more concerned with the way that Dana was floating half a metre off the ground, showing off her skills.
Only Joan, the one that Tessa suspected was awakening as a Red Dragon Cleric, was looking around to try to find the lost Rogue. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
That was also good training for her, as the Red Dragon Clerics were often battle tacticians with the army, and they would need to have good analytical skills as well as keen senses.
Now that he thought about it, an extra stabby tiny creature with a fire obsession was practically made to be a new friend to the beasts. Even Cara would like this one, they were both feral creatures.
Rae set her down and Sybil immediately tried to escape out the door, but was dragged back by a collar of silk around her neck.
Lotus smirked at the girl as she attached the web to the ceiling, and then borrowed a notebook and pen out of Karl's inventory.
"Is she going to be alright?" Skittles asked, growing concerned about the short-term survival of the girl.
"She will be fine. Rae has good reading skills, so they'll be able to communicate even if she doesn't know sign language."
[I wonder if we can teach them to mind speak. That would be good.] Cara suggested.
That was part of their bond, but there might be some similar function in the System that they just hadn't uncovered yet.
[I will look into it.]
Jaime, the formerly silent half of the warrior pair, raised their hand and spoke in a surprisingly high voice. "Who will be our warrior trainer, Sir? They told us that you work with beasts, but none of us got a class like that."
Karl had originally thought that they were twin brothers, but apparently Jaime was just tomboyish with the same haircut Aaron had.
"I will help with it, but the Lovely Princess Ophelia here is a Berserker. If anyone knows about melee combat, it is her."
Ophelia smiled and waved, while the Warriors nodded happily. Then Karl continued. "I also have Thor, who is actually a Monarch Ranked Divine Thunder Cerro, but with a bit of effort, he can transform into a humanoid form to help you learn defensive tactics, while Ophelia teaches you offensive skills.
Between them, you will become the sort of well-rounded Warriors that your father would be proud to know."
He also had Remi to help Dana with the aspiring Lightning Mage, so it was only Sybil and Joan who didn't have two specialty teachers.
That was still better than Karl had expected. You never knew what you would get from a system assigned class, but Karl was slowly discovering that there was a core set that appeared more often than others.
