Chapter 105 Quality Over Quantity


The answer was made when the beasts settled into their improved homes.

[Oh, this is nice. I can feel the power soothing my muscles. Whatever you did today, do it again.] Rae commended him as she spun an expanded web between the new trees.

[Yes, this is the right improvement. I can feel myself getting more powerful.] Hawk agreed.

The two of them waited for Thor to say something, but he was staring in wonder at one of the stone pillars.

[Did you make a smashing pillar for me? You are too kind.]

He was nearly tearful with joy over the addition of the pillars, and the other two beasts immediately discounted anything else he said for the evening. Like giving Hawk an extra rare species of meat, the Lightning Cerro had been bribed with the thing he wanted most, and his opinion was unreliable.

Karl considered their answers for a moment, and then replied.

[Alright, I will go back to the mana training tomorrow and see how much I can improve the spaces for you all. After all, the faster you grow strong, the faster I grow strong in return.]

A good night's sleep brought about some notable changes to the trio. Not so much to Hawk, but Thor was a full hand taller than he had been yesterday, enough that it was immediately noticeable to everyone when he came out for some attention in the morning, but Rae was the one who caught everyone's attention.

But compared to Karl's internal improvements, the others were beginning to show real signs of the gains that they had made here.

Both of the clerics eyes shone with a faint golden light, the mages were all filled to the brim with power, and the warriors were becoming the toned and muscular Elites that they had dreamed of being since they found out that they were compatible with the Serum.

They were well into the afternoon, and everyone was exhausted and ready to turn in when the Golems made an announcement. Speaking in unison, their magical voices reached every one of the students.

[You now have twenty-four hours remaining in your trial. Choose your last day's event wisely.]

Those words sent a wave of panic through the group. They had no idea that there was a four-day time limit on the trials. Many of them had intended to try to push through to the Awakened Rank, then spend a few days checking on the other sides, just in case they could gain something important from them.

Karl didn't have any particular regrets. His body was already stronger than his mind, so testing his willpower and mana made the most sense. The question was: What would he do for the last day?

He could balance it out, and go for the willpower side again, but something told him that the neglected stairs, the random gamble that was the Fate Challenge was going to be much more entertaining.

It might only be good for a story around the campfire, but all of them should have some sort of affinity with fate, since they all passed the trial of the Divine Serum, and proved themselves compatible.

That settled it. He had gained what he needed from the stairs. He learned how to more effectively expand the beast spaces, and he could ask Rae and Thor about the effectiveness of the body training. So, he would take a chance on the final day, and he would go for the fate stairs to see what would happen.
