The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1327 Build Back Better

Karl looked around the ruins of the Academy as the teachers rushed off to get medicine to the bunkers.

”Well, I suppose that I should likely get to work. A good portion of this can be rebuilt, but we will need some of the other Elites to come back and add spells to make it what it was.” He decided.

[Make a water mage punishment course.] Hawk suggested.

[Donʼt worry, we will have training courses for everyone. The new mages will all do well to learn to work around your defences.] Karl laughed.

But the training courses were only a small part of the whole Academy.

The classrooms were going to be easy, as they were largely nonmagical to start with. Even if he just waved a hand and rebuilt a building, it would be halfway to functional. Once someone came along and put in the rest of the little details like lights and furniture, it would be up and running.

However, it wouldnʼt take much to make the Academy better than ever, even if Opal was off with Dana, helping with the defence of the Beast God Temple.

”You have a look on your face that says youʼre planning to do something that is either a war crime, or an epic practical joke.” Ritaʼs voice declared from behind Karl as he was mentally planning the new layout for the Academy.

”A little bit of column A, a little bit of Column B.” Karl agreed.

”What is it that youʼre thinking of?” She asked curiously.

”I have the magic to rebuild the Academy, at least to a somewhat decent standard. Like I did with the Trial Tower, but for the whole Academy.

It might take some time, but I should be able to reconstruct the Academy to a standard high enough to train students. With the teachers that we have here, I should also be able to work in the essential spells to make it self-supporting.

Mostly, itʼs just the nutrition part that I have zero compatibility with.” Karl explained.

[Food? I can make food. Seaweed is delicious.] Leo announced in his slow drawl.

That was right, he was Gravity and Nature Element.

But when Karl focused on the skills that the turtle had, there was nothing like [Plant Growth] or [Ocean Feast]. It was just a simple spell [Create Seaweed], which could create a dozen different varieties.

The turtle waved a flipper. [Itʼs fine. Just ask one of the clerics for some spices, and Iʼm sure humans will like it too.]

Thor thought that the turtle had a point. The seaweed looked pretty good. But maybe if you wrapped it around rice and beans, like those cakes that they fed to the horses at the Temple. That could be even better.

[Dried, so itʼs crunchy.] Leo agreed.

Now, it actually sounded like something that humans would eat.

”You seriously think that you can fully rebuild the Academy?” Rita verified.

”Of course. You donʼt get to Mythic Rank without having a few tricks up your sleeves, but I also have a crafting related trade skill. Making things is my specialty.

Plus, I can call Tian and Opal back here so that they can assist with their Earth Manipulation and Illusionary Domain abilities.

When you build those spells into a building, you can do wonderful things.” Karl agreed.

”Like the storage closet next to your old room. Itʼs an Illusionary Domain, and nearly a full acre of space inside. Though, that one was designed as a large field, so it wasnʼt for anyone.

This year, there was actually someone in it, because of the lack of space. A druid girl ended up with it because she stopped to play with the Earth Mice, so she was the last to arrive!” Rita replied, while trying not to laugh.

That girl would have made a good nature cleric. Hopefully, she wasnʼt in her room ignoring the alarm and ditching class during the attack.

”Alright, I will check on the others, and then we can design a new academy. Perhaps something cool.” Karl suggested.

Rae appeared beside them, carrying Sybil on her hip like a toddler. The ʼbaby rogueʼ had never grown much, and still stood under a hundred and fifty centimetres tall. So, compared to Raeʼs tall and lanky form, she really did look like the child that she was.

”Did I hear weʼre making something cool? Iʼm all about that. Let me design some of the rooms.” She insisted.

Sybil nodded happily. ”The real rogues need some better training courses. I spend as much time as possible in the trial tower, but itʼs not a specialty training area just for my class.”

Rita gave her a suspicious look. ”Why does it sound like you did find a specialized training course? And why are you out of the bunkers?”

Sybil shrugged. ”Rae has one in Karlʼs Tiny World. But I was moved there for safety when the fight started, so there was no need to go to the bunker.”

Rita motioned for an explanation, so Karl opened the world, with the destination being the top of the nap platform in the mountains.

It was currently occupied by a sleepy blue dragon, who smiled up at them

when Karl led the former drill instructor through.

”Good morning. This fine lady was my first tutor after I gained access to the system.” He explained.

The dragon transformed into a young man with shockingly blue eyes. ”You can

call me Librarian Ike. I am here to teach the baby dragons who are about to hatch, and to make a recording of everything that happens during their

childhood years.”

Rita nodded politely, and shook the dragonʼs hand. ”Major Rita, of the Golden Dragon Nation. I would say of the Golden Divine Academy, but itʼs currently in

ruins.”

The dragon nodded. ”So I hear. The Karl will do well enough as a repair man, though. He made all of this, the entire Tiny World is his work. Except the living

things, that is.”

Rita stood near the edge of the cliff and stared in wonder at the scene beneath

her.

If Karl could do all of this, what was a measly academy? Even if he didnʼt know how to make their training equipment, what he did know how to make would probably do a better job of it.

But why were so many of the people naked?
