Their attention was briefly caught by the sight of a large black creature dragging something out the door, then leaping directly onto the third floor balcony.
"It seems my daughter has some training to do with her new pet." The Elder noted.
Karl laughed. "I suspect the issue is that the relationship runs the other way. Shade views her as the pet, not him. So, when she didn’t go where he wanted, he simply picked her up and moved her."
"You knew this would happen, didn’t you?"
"From the moment that I started speaking with him, yes. But it’s fine. They will work out an arrangement, just like all other ranger and beast pairs do. It’s just that she has bonded with an especially strong Divine Beast, with an equally overbearing personality.
Trying to break him will only make him bitter and make life difficult for everyone involved.
But they’re still young, there is no big rush to have them combat ready and headed out on missions. Miss Anilla isn’t even going to look like a proper human high schooler for at least four or five years yet."
However, the Elder knew that it wasn’t a matter of appearance, it was a matter of keeping up with her age mates, her peers in school.
When they started to go out on missions, they would expect her to do it as well, no matter how late she was to develop.
Which was going to be an issue on its own.
{Karl, I need your skill. I can’t put my Elf away.} Shade called from the window.
"She got the class, she hosts the space. That’s how it works." Karl called back.
The Elder sighed. "Speaking all forms of beast really is an advantage.
Now, back to business. I have an idea of proper payment for unceremoniously dragging you away from your day."
Well, at least she was self-aware enough to realize it.
{Elder Xiao Bai Offers Knowledge} Skill [Ancient Wisdom] will be transferred to The Karl.
[Ancient Wisdom] Immortal Rank, Epic Grade. Allows the caster to grant one skill usable by themselves or an active summon to their entire Party. {Usable as a Guild Skill}
Karl stared at the System notification.
"If you could do that all along, why did you need me to use it?" He asked.
"If I did it for her after her awakening, it would be blatant favouritism, as I refused to do it for my other children. Making them work for their gains teaches independence and critical thinking.
However, what do you mean, I can do it as well?
That skill can only be used after awakening. Believe me, I did consider using it on that daughter of mine to get her started toward a class. Do you have a way to make it work for everyone? Or did you have the beast bond her first to trigger the System Interface, then grant her the skill to gain a Class Option?"
Karl realized that he might have done something stranger than simply causing an awakening.
She had said that she knew his Class, so he assumed that she knew he could cause an awakening. Now, however, it appeared that she had assumed that he was going to bond the beast to the girl to cause the awakening, not grant her a skill to cause the same effect.
Either way would have worked, but Karl had wanted to give her the best matched one to go with her new cat.
