Chapter 624 Training Cadets

Karl motioned for the newly chosen Elites to come forward so that he could make a lesson plan.

"First, as I'm being assigned to help train you, I need to know what you know besides the basic combat training of the Church soldiers. What skills did you get from your class, and what do you have available? Other than Nikki, the Tiger Monk, you are all Beast Rangers, so your skills should be similar." Karl began.

The others gestured for the odd man out, the lone Beast Ranger that had a Moor Cat, to do the explanation.

"Well, Beast Ranger is a ranged combat class, with our teammate as our close combatant. The first skill that I got was [Deadly Accuracy] which boosts my skill with a bow. But I also got a system reward for going first, and it gave me [Shadow Meld], for hiding in the forest to set up an ambush.

If I am reading the class description right, we should all gain extra stats and abilities from the bonded beast that we chose. For certain, my agility and strength have increased substantially." He explained.

One of the other boys nodded in agreement. "For those of us with a Cerro, it's our strength and stamina. Jogging over here behind them wasn't even enough to raise my heart rate. I got the same starting skill, but no bonus.

Once I have a couple of points, however we get those, I can start picking bow skills like Infinite Arrows and Lightning Bolt."

The others nodded. "The skills seem to be the same for all of us. So, we will be good at working in a group."

Karl chuckled. "You have no idea how true that is. You see, your Lightning Cerro can learn to extend Refreshing Lightning over you with relative ease, and the whole group with a bit more difficulty. So, you will be excellent at working in a group, as your partner is specialized in team defence.

For the one friend with a Moor Cat, you are clearly the team's scout, as you specialize in stealth, and I will start training you with the rogue types in my group to build your skills."

"It's like the pied piper. They will follow him anywhere." One of the Rangers complained.

And that was what they did, in an odd little procession all the way across the park to the training area.

They had gathered quite the crowd by the time they arrived, all intrigued by the presence of the baby beasts, and eager to find out what sort of thing they were up to at the Cathedral today.

The training areas weren't precisely off limits to the public, they just weren't popular visiting spots for anyone without a reason to be there. So, the small crowd followed them back and saw the recruits learning basic combat skills along with Karl's group of Acolytes, who were using Skills.

That immediately marked them as Elites, who would normally be finishing their first year at the Academy right now.

But those beasts who were following Karl weren't a year old yet, and that started the rumours that the whole group, nearly a dozen students, had gotten their Classes early.

That was huge gossip for the bored residents of the Capital, even before the group of Cerro Hatchlings raced across the sand to go see Thor. The sight was so adorable that everyone wished there was a reporter here to take proper professional pictures.

Then, Thor began lining them up in a row, while Dana made barriers for them.

The onlookers were confused, but Karl got everyone moving. "Cerro team, head to your partners. You will be practising working together as they charge. Moor Cats, Nikki will be with Ophelia learning offensive coordination, and Pat will be with Lady Rae to practice your stealth skills."

Karl gestured in the right directions, and Sybil gave a relieved sigh as she saw that there was finally someone to distract Rae's full attention from her.

Little did she know that the special forces cadet was at a higher standard of basic training than she was, and other than skills, she had a long way to go to catch up.
