When Remey slammed two light elemental knuckles together, Walker wasn't sure what to do. The intense blinding light compared to the shadows twisting before shocked him. Remey had developed so many tactics to change the way that she could gain an advantage in a battle. It was well beyond what he had expected.

There was only clarity after the next hit came in to contact and sent him sprawling yet again. The eternal orb started to shift ion to two different gauntlets with a larger surface area that seemed to be shield like on the forearms. This was Walker's subconscious change when it came to the battle of offensive brutality.

'The skill quick block has been taken from the defensive monk system. The user has learned the skill quick block out of instinct.

Quick block- 1 mana cost

The user is able to follow the flow of mana with their instincts and raise their hands and arms to more easily block an attack. Their hands and arms are strengthened slightly using their own mana to better block and deflect damage. The user can not counter all the damage they receive unless their body is strong enough.'

This skill wasn't even shown in his system for a second before Walker started to move his arm to deflect the next hit. It seemed that Remey had burned up a lot of mana using her elemental fist skill repeatedly. Now the only thing that was fueling her were the pent up frustrations and annoyances of the past weeks. Her feelings of powerlessness that drove her to train when no one was looking. The fact that she couldn't help anyone at the moment that Greed took over. And even worse, the idea that her party leader would come to her saying that she was not living up to her responsibilities.

The force that assaulted Walker was much more than Walker knew Remey capable of. He was facing strength that came from her berserk like state of mind where her emotions took over her actions. He was able to slowly find a way to let her push her back until he started to dodge again. But by that point, he had taken enough hits to be bruised and sore. He managed to finally dodge in time for Remey to lose energy and fall to her knees panting.

"I was wrong…

" He knew he had messed up and that he should have dug deeper. But this was something he had let slip by him because he was so focused on other things. He had let the water elve's battle against Lust take precedence over what was happening around him. He just rushed off to another adventure without checking on everyone first.

Gil may have recovered, Su had faced everything with Walker and been fine. Midnight and Onyx had managed to bounce right back. But Remey was so used to standing up for her siblings and those around her. Having that taken from her and being powerless had cut her deeply. He may have been able to help the water elves but his ignorance had cost someone dear to him their mental fortitude. Even when he had returned he just went on with everything and didn't stop to really pay attention to how everyone was doing.

It was time to deal with the consequences of his actions and make things right. Just as Remey started to fall forward, Walker jumped to catch her. He held a mana potion to her lips along with using healing skills. Remey was able to fight full of emotions and finally let all the pent up stress free. But she had damaged herself in the process of the fight showing that her will could truly push beyond any pain.

"I promise I won't let this happen again. I'm a pretty big idiot for ignoring everyone and how they were doing. I will try to be better in the future.

" This promise was something that Walker needed to make good on. He had a handful of titles now, an entire city they knew him and his family, but what was it all worth it if he didn't know them? If he couldn't live up to those titles?

"Yeah…you kinda are sometimes. Thicker skull than a charging bison.

" Remey laughed as she managed to come back to her senses. She was in no state to just hop up and walk back to the guild or the mansion. Walker instead helped her lean on him and headed back inside after dispelling the earth wall he had made.

The old master alchemist and Trish didn't even flinch when they saw Walker helping her back. They were at fault too and would be lying if they didn't see what had happened or heard what happened from a window. Where the other alchemists and herbalists were too afraid to look, Trish and the old master alchemist had. They could feel their own ears turning red as they realized how foolish they were as well.

"You know there is a place for the guild mas- for Remey, to sleep.

" Trish caught herself and held the door open to the office and lap reserved for Remey. It had a spare resting room in the back just for the guild master. But Trish knew that Remey didn't kike being called that. Now she saw why. It placed massive stress on a person.

"I know of a few good recovery medicines. One that is conveniently in a soup recipe.

" The old master alchemist wasn't the best at expressing his emotions. Yet he knew he could show it. This would be how. He also would be able to take on some more of the workload for the guild. He hadn't even thought that Remey would want to join the colosseum brawling competitions in the future. How had he missed that? Let alone her training?

The two felt foolish, even more so than Walker who hadn't even bothered to start and clean himself up after training, if he could call it that. He felt that the bruises showed how ignorant he really was.
