Chapter 73: Annoyed Rita

Sergeant Rita led Karl to the morning training, where there was a new face waiting for them. Alice, the mage who had been in the room for Karl's treatments yesterday, was sitting in a chair by the door, and waved happily as Karl walked in.

Rita frowned as she realized who the woman was, then turned away, as if by ignoring her, the woman would go away. But Alice didn't make any move to get up, she just sat by the door as Karl took his position and called Hawk out.

"Goddess, what did you do to Hawk? He looks like he wants to eat us." One of the mages gasped.

"It's not a big deal, a treatment just made him grow to a giant size. He's only a little stronger than he was." Karl replied.

While that was reassuring, the fact that there was a giant monster in the sky above them was enough to intimidate all the students at least a little bit. It was an instinctive reaction to a large flying predator that could possibly carry away a full-grown person.
