Karl thought about the question. Who all had been involved?
"I proposed to my personal tutor, Sergeant Rita, that it would be better for my development if I could get out for some practical training. There is only so much I can do in the limited environment of the Academy, and she discussed it with the agents from the Bureau of Elite Development, who agreed to the mission, and picked the one I was assigned to."
The Inquisitor looked confused. "What was a Bureau Agent doing there?"
Karl shrugged. "There are two of them assigned to me. One is there all the time, either a mage or a warrior. They took me on the trip to find my second and third beasts, then approved this as my first student mission."
The Inquisitor looked like he was getting a headache.
"Back up a step. When did the Bureau first start showing an interest in you?"
