[I think I have just the right thing for the baby Elites to try. Nutrition is important, and Rae's new pet grew really well last night, though she couldn't properly digest the soup.
I know that they have lunch coming soon, but I have made a mild berry juice to go with it.] Remi informed Karl while the Warriors were taking a break.
[Is it good for recovery? You could give it to the warriors now.] Karl suggested.
The others would be going for a break soon as well. They were getting frustrated with their inability to win against the veteran soldiers, even though they were Elites.
It was a humbling first day for them, a chance to realize that being a Common Rank Elite didn't make them better fighters than regular veteran soldiers, so it should build their motivation to grow their powers.
[It should be good for energy, so I guess it could be used to recover between training rounds.] Remi agreed.
[And what is it made from?]
[I've got these berries I collected when we were back in time, and the tea made from the moss, and this minty leaf from Thor's space for flavour. It's not strong, Ascended Rank. So I think that they'll be able to digest it.]
The moss was a potent resource, and according to Karl's [Identification] skill, the minty leaf was good for growing mana density. The berries didn't have a specific use listed, so he assumed that they were some sort of Ascended Rank food.
[Make one more. I want to taste test it before you pass it out. I know that your taste buds aren't the same as humans.]
Remi happily passed him a potion bottle full of the juice, and Karl sipped at it, while the clerics gave him confused looks.
"Sorry, I was out of clean cups. It's just a berry smoothie." He explained.
It was tart, but refreshing, very suitable for drinking.
The old woman gave the potion bottle an intrigued look, and Karl wiped the mouth of the bottle, then passed it over.
She smiled and took out a long straw, then sipped the thick mixture.
"It's mixed with ice? Oh, that is beautiful. What flavour is it? I don't think I know that one."
Karl shrugged. "I actually don't know the name of the berries either. But they're mixed with silver mint leaf and moss tea. You can have that one if you would like. I was just taste testing it before I gave it to the students with lunch."
Once the break started, Remi came out in Naga Queen form to hand out the smoothies and take notes on the effects that they had on Common Rank Elites.
The fact that they were being used as experimental test subjects for a new blend of energy smoothie was lost on the students, but after feeling the surge of energy from the juice, the old War Cleric knew very well that this was not just a simple snack.
