The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1207: Teacher’s Guild

Ahmad whispered something to one of the teachers, who ran nodded, and then gave him a thumbs up.

”The teachers have organized themselves as a Guild, now that the System Functions are coming back online. So, we can just send Guild messages when we need to talk to each other.” She explained.

Karl nodded. ”That is convenient. I’ve got most of the craftsmen, and all of the senior crafters, in the Darklight Host with me. We’ve also got a Guild House set up, with a Guild Store, so we can easily transfer crafted items around and distribute wages.”

He could see the teachers making notes. That function might not be online here yet, but they also simply might not have noticed it yet.

With the Academy being their base of operations, it would be easy enough to set it as the Guild House for the Teachers’ Guild. Then, the supply room could become the Guild Store.

It would be a huge improvement in inventory management, as the System logged everything that was sold or stocked.

But that was not Karl’s problem.

Rae had vanished again, and he wasn’t sure where she had gone.

Then, she reappeared with an arm wrapped around Morgana, and an excited smile on her face.

”You will love this look. It’s perfect for you, and I’ve been waiting for just the right time to be able to deliver it.

Don’t worry, I have more dresses for the actual wedding trip.

Try it on.” Rae informed the Witch Doctor.

The outfit was a long silk corseted gown, with spiderweb pattern embroidery, a gossamer caplet that had runes glowing around the edges. Not actual Runecrafting runes, but additional effects added through Rae’s Master Tailoring abilities using glowing threads.

Then Rae added a thin veil and headscarf, and Morgana giggled.

”I feel like a princess.” She laughed.

Rae nodded and Karl shrugged. ”You look like a Princess. A goth spider princess, but still a princess. It’s a good match.”

Bob Mackenzie shook his head in dismay as he walked up to the scene. ”Who would have thought? After all this time, the Monster Man is back, and he’s taught a Bloodbath Spider how to make clothing.”

Rae winked at him. ”Would you like me to cocoon you as well? I can make something wonderfully fashionable?”

The warrior shook his head. ”Perhaps a suit for the wedding, but I’m good for now.”

Slowly, the other guests made their way across the grounds.

Everyone had been in the middle of teaching a class, other than Doug Mackenzie, who was working in the infirmary and had to finish healing a broken leg before he came over.

Cara came out of her space to greet all the new people, and then settled on climbing up Doug, who was happy to carry her, so she didn’t have to look up to see what was going on.

Karl made a round of greetings before everyone went over to congratulate Dana on the wedding.

”I can’t believe that it’s actually happening. Did you know that when you were still here at the Academy, there was a betting pool on whether you two would end up together by the time that you graduated?

I suppose that you would have graduated by now, so the pool would be decided. But still, we need to get a bard here to write out your story.” Jill, Dana’s former personal Tutor from the Bureau of Elite Development, joked.

Dana smiled back at her. ”I would say that it’s a big win. Look how far we’ve come.

Who would have thought that in just these few years since we joined the Academy we would be an Overlord and a Totem, running a Guild Branch on the Dragon Isles with over a hundred craftsmen working under us?”

The teachers all looked suitably impressed by his accomplishments, but Daniel and Alice, the pair who had been assigned by the bureau to guide Karl, began to laugh.

”Did you know that we actually followed through with the Lightning Cerro Farm in your name? They have a herd of over a hundred now, and the techniques that you left behind have allowed an entire force of Beast Rangers to rise among the senior Rangers.” Alice explained.

”Thor would be overjoyed to hear that. I wasn’t sure what would happen to that investment after I disappeared from the country. But to think that they not only followed through, but named it after me. That’s impressive.” Karl replied.

”They did more than that. The housing development you funded was built near the farm, and it’s become a training retreat for green dragon clerics, nature lovers, and Rangers. Nearly two thousand people live there now.

Colonel Valerie oversees it, for obvious reasons. But I think that she actually enjoys living there with so much nature around her.” Alice added.

Karl shrugged. ”I can’t blame her. Living among nature is always pleasant. I spend most of my time inside the city now, and it’s a relaxing outing to go into the wilderness for reasons that don’t involve combat.”

That made the teachers laugh. There was nothing in the wilderness that didn’t involve at least the risk of Combat. But when you were both at the Totem Rank and Karl, you could probably go out and pet a wild monster for fun.

The Green Dragon Clerics would be jealous.

Hopefully, he never taught that trick to them. They would be unstoppable menaces to society.

Little did they know, it was already too late. Lotus knew [If Not Friend, Why Friend Shaped]. With that skill on her side, nearly everything became pettable.

”Should we prepare lunch? Or are you all leaving right away?” The Vice Principal asked.

”We’re actually heading out right away. It wouldn’t do to keep the Supreme Lady waiting. Plus, I’ve got dozens of Guild Messages that I’ve been ignoring from the crafting team and about custom orders from the Guild’s Alliance members for their Raiding teams.” Karl sighed.

”A Guild Alliance? Raiding Teams?” Bob Mackenzie asked eagerly.

”Oh, I have so much to tell you. The Dungeons around Drodh, my new hometown, are Royal and Monarch Ranked, so I’m sure that we can arrange for some of the guests to go through them later. But in Zilaz, entire teams of forty Overlords or Totems will join together to clear more powerful dungeons.

It’s quite the sight, and the need for gear is never ending.” Karl explained.

Bob smiled. ”Well, perhaps we don’t have to rush back right after the wedding.”
