The First Legendary Beast Master Chapter 807 Bone Bear

Once the store had sold out again, and a new "Limited Stock" sign had been made, indicating that they only had whatever leftover jewellery hadn't been chosen by the morning rush and what the team had made that morning, things began to calm down in the shop, and Davis prepared to go ho early.

He would be off the next day, as Matriarch's day was a City Holiday, and most shops that weren't food or present related would not operate at all.

Karl planned to open the shop for a while, but not stock more than the basics, just in case soone needed a last minute "Please Get Out of the Doghouse" gift.

From what Karl understood, the day was mostly an exchange of chocolates from the won to their desired n, and then a date night where they would take the lead.

Mick could watch the shop for the rest of the day, as most of the items were not high ticket items, and Davis needed to drop off the latest Overlord Rank creation by Karl and Ashbringer at the Auction, which started early the next morning.

Remi had reserved a few boxes of potions for regular sales, and the girls had put out a dozen wooden rings for both mage and warrior types, but that was about all that was left in the shop for the rest of the day.

Those were going quickly to the steady stream of regular custors from the city, especially the potions. Everyone wanted to be at their best for the holiday, so an ergency healing potion as well as a recovery potion were a great insurance asure.

Just having them with you could turn a minor disaster into a touching mory.

Then, just before Karl was going to have the Gargoyles close the gate, a middle-aged mage in the sa uniform as the Academy man who had custom ordered wands entered the shop.

"Good Sir, might you know where to find the Darklight Host Guild House?" He asked.

"You're standing in it. What can we help you with?" Karl replied with a smile that must have shown too much tooth, as the man looked concerned, and he was so sort of partially skeletal monster species, not a Demon as far as Karl could tell.

Upon closer look, Karl realized that it was actually just a bone protrusion that covered half his face like a mask, with a horn at the top. He wasn't undead.

"The Governor of Lared City would like to invite you to the Academy to give lessons on Runecrafting. You see, we have it as a course, but nobody actually has the skill. So, what we can teach students is limited." The mage asked.

Karl frowned. "My ti is rather limited, and I have a lot to do here. Attending an Academy hundreds of kilotres from ho for an extended period of ti simply isn't feasible."

The mage sighed. "I was afraid that you would say that. I don't suppose that you would have a skill book to teach the art, would you?"

Karl shook his head. "But I can make one for [Apprentice Runesmithing]. That's a prir to the art, and far more people can use it. However, it will take a significant amount of ti to create."

But Remi had other ideas as she appeared beside him.

"Didn't your school year just end? Does that an you're on a break? Why don't you send the teacher here, and we can teach them the skill, then they can teach others? Even if it's just introductory, it would be sothing. They would be able to at least make the items work." She offered.

The mage considered that for a few seconds, his eyes flickering left and right as he paid attention to sothing else, possibly reading System ssages.

"Alright. If you can provide introductory skills to our instructors, it would be appreciated. Two juniors, one for armour and one for practical applications, will be here in just a mont." He explained.

Karl shrugged. "Alright. Can you explain the courses? If they're too similar, it would be the sa subset skill. You see, the subset skill which I taught my apprentices is Runesmithing. That's not the sa as a Rune Priest, a Runic Alchemist, or a Runic Architect." Remi did her best not to laugh as Karl started making up classes.

Then she realized that if he mixed skills, he probably could make those different specialties with the Runes, and the students would be sowhat limited by their initial path.

Remi personally tended towards Runic Alchemist, as she was short on books to discover all the recipes she wanted, so she just imbued sothing close to what she actually wanted to create with Runes, using Karl's [Runecrafter] skill.

Just as the beasts could share skills that Karl was compatible with, the opposite was also true. And once he learned the [Pack Affinity] skill, it beca much easier to share skills from Karl back to herself.

Karl just didn't know many skills and spells that didn't co from them.

She should tell soone that Rae now knew how to [Teleport]. That was probably important information for them to have. But she could remind them of that new function later, they were doing a thing now.

"You know Runic Alchemy? I thought that you were just a Rune maker?" The man asked.

"Technically, Remi here has mastered Runic Alchemy. I have no Alchemical skills, I am purely a Rune Master. But she has beco quite adept with Alchemy, and creates the potions for our shop." Karl explained.

Remi handed the man a potion, and he stared at it in confusion, then cast a spell on it to examine it more closely.

"Indeed, it does have clusters of empowered Runes in the solution. That is incredible. What is the potion for?"

{Reversing receding hairlines.} Remi replied happily.

The Mage looked offended, then intrigued. "Really? It can reverse receding hairlines? How powerful is it?" He asked.

Remi shrugged. {Monarch Rank. It's not fully tested, though.}

"How much is this potion?" He asked curiously.

{The materials cost six silver, so it sells for a gold coin.} Remi explained.

The man nodded and handed her a coin, then downed the potion.

Slowly, hair grew on the top of his head, and all over the side of his face not covered by a bone plate, then down his arms.

{Wait, was that supposed to happen? I swear, it wasn't supposed to add hair in new places, but I don't have any hair to test it on.} Remi mused.

The mage looked confused, then understanding lit his eyes and he smiled. He took out a small mirror and began to examine himself, lowering his hood and opening his robes to show that he was almost completely furred.

"That is magnificent. My species starts out completely furry, except our mask bone. But as we age, we lose it until we're completely hairless. I look like a young Bone Bear again."

Karl would have never guessed that the man's species was called Bone Bear, given the hairless state that he arrived in.

Remi was pleased with her work, though. {Just don't do anything unethical in dating groups.}
