The First Legendary Beast Master

While they talked, Karl was quietly using [Earth Manipulation] to add tables and benches to the labs outside the illusion, filling the workspaces, so that the new group could split up to work on the projects that they needed.

"That is magnificent. The level of versatility that your class and crafting skills give is beyond anything that I have come across before." Deve sighed as Karl let the portal close so that Remi could get to work with her students.

"It really is. When I was young, I used to hear the phrase ’Jack of all trades, master of none’. Normally, it was used as a derogatory for someone who couldn’t hold a job. But in a way, that is what my class is, except it’s good at nearly everything." Karl agreed.

Deve shrugged. "Every Guild Master has a little something that sets them apart. For you, it’s got to be the fact that you have an answer for every situation. Most of us protect our Guilds with pure brute force, but you pull them in by having something to offer everyone.

It’s brilliant, really. All the advantages of a larger Guild, but with that small guild family feeling.

When you’ve got two hundred official members in a branch, plus apprentices, employees and hang-arounds, it’s impossible to know everyone on that level.

So, the big Guilds feel more like an employment contract, even though technically, they all are."

Lotus watched the small creature fly around the main floor, inspecting its territory for the first time.
