Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051 - Taming the Wall - Leadership - 2

Jessy had processed that slowly.

"The new soldier from the academy," she had said, in the tone of someone building a story as they received it. "Who got access to the trial bows by working through the bureaucracy..."

"Exactly."

"And the cost of the bows and rune arrows? Finch and Theodore are going to interrogate me until the end of the world..."

"Castle’s military support, trial equipment. I already filed the paperwork with Larissa’s help to make it look correct in the records."

Jessy had looked at him with the face of someone who knew the story had more layers than were being described, and who had decided that the undescribed layers were, in this particular case, the fair price for the part that was being described.

"All right, leave it with me," she had said.

The bows arrived at the southwest sector through the correct channels, with the correct documentation, and with Ren Patinder’s name nowhere on any of it.

Garret examined them with the evaluation of someone who had seen enough new equipment arrive at the wall to have calibrated what was genuinely useful and what was the well-intentioned effort of someone who hadn’t spent sufficient time at the wall to understand what was actually needed.

Two distinct categories that didn’t always correlate with how official the equipment was or how good it looked on paper.

"You got these?" he asked Ren, in the tone of someone reformulating the question they were actually asking.

"I went through the process," said Ren. "It wasn’t that difficult... I had tried them at the academy and the distribution channel for military trials was already open, it just needed to be connected to the wall."

"And you filled in all those boring bureaucratic forms and requirements that quickly?"

Ren considered that for a moment.

"I took a management class," he said.

Garret looked at him for a second.

"A management class."

"Public resource administration, more specifically."

Garret processed that with the expression of someone evaluating whether an explanation was plausible and arriving at the conclusion that it was sufficiently plausible for practical purposes, even though it had certain strange gaps around the edges. Like the insane efficiency.

"Do you know how to use it?"

"Somewhat..."

Teaching bow use at the wall was different from teaching bow use in the academy training arenas.

In training spaces, the target was static or predictable, positioned where it was easy to see. At the wall the target came from below, at distances that varied according to the creature’s speed and point of entry into the sector, and the positional advantage of the height changed the shot angles in ways that required recalibrating whatever reflexes previous shot had built.
