Days passed on after the training with Remey and Walker. They ended up having a long talk about the events that had transpired with Greed and the new skills that Remey had. Walker took full responsibility for the fact that he had been blind to the feelings of others around him in recent weeks. It was a big lesson about how he could stay open to the world instead of hyper focused on one task after the other.

However, Remey had also taken responsibility for the fact that everything was not on her. She had constantly piled responsibility on herself since she was little when it came to her siblings and the orphanage. It just went to show how much people forget that just because an orphanage had money that they may still not have what they need. But even further it taught Remey that she should put her foot down and ask for help. She should take breaks from her work and leave things to others. She didn't need to stand alone all the time.

"You're really going out with Gil to find herbs?

" Walker was still apprehensive since Remey and Gil were not the best buddies who got along everywhere they went. It was a guarantee that the two would argue at some point.

"Yes. Yes, we are. Gil will bring two archers from his little academy adventurer thing and I will bring two herbalists. We are training and relaxing. I can help deal with any trouble we run in to and Gil is going to show us some grove that he said had red spot mushrooms. They aren't really a potion material but they can taste really good when they are cooked right.

" The fact that Remey had taken the idea so strongly was great. She would be able to head out without any stress and take the time to hunt for herbs while battling a little. For her, it would be a perfect mix of fun and work. Not that alchemy and fighting were work for her.

"Just relax Walker, we will be fine. I wanted to go on a trip too. Once I chatted with Remey about leaving our guild and academy to run itself. I thought it was a good hands off test. The forest elves are really pushing to be more involved since they have so much archery knowledge. I'm really just a face anyways.

" As modest as Gil was being, Walker knew that he was not just a face of an archery academy. At this point, Gil had become the Human equal with the elves when it came to archery. He was a role model for many hunters and archers soon to grow within Genesis.

"We will see you off first before we leave. Walker and I promised Onyx we would stop by the cathedral before we left. Midnight is already there too. I think we wanted to train her light elemental breath attack last night with Onyx.

" Su knew that if they didn't back down Gil and Remey would stay forever and never leave to pick up their four students for the small trip.

"We will see you three when we get back. Just tell me all about the dragons!

" Gil shouted on his way out the door. Remey just cracked her knuckles and smirked. Walker knew that she was more than ready to lay in to him again if he didn't make it back safe and sound.

"So, what do you think about leaving again? Are you ready?

" Su had been ready for a while. She had trained and already seen a great deal of people for some advice on blocking and using mana. She had worried about Walker and Remey for the past few days and wanted to make sure that he was up to the trip. She had definitely been focused on her own training and learned what she could in the past days to make sure she continued to see the people around her.

"We are ready. It's not just me. Midnight has really pushed herself. I think you might have taken the biggest leap though. Su the magic shield user? Is that a good term? I even saw you training with your earth spirit partner the other day.

" Su had thought that she was completely alone when she had been training. She didn't like that Walker could alter the earth fortress skill with his grand elemental manipulation. She wanted to be able to change the shape herself.

Through some bonding with the earth elemental spirit, she had some success. The spirit mark that she had gained through bonding like that was not just for show. As Walker's did with him and Fleur, Su was able to feel the earth elemental spirit through hers. That gave them the silent communication they needed to be able to change the dome shape in to a more rugged sharp shape for defense and offense. It may not be a major difference but it was one that could do just a little more damage in battle to make a difference between victory and loss.

"It wasn't that much training. We just had our own goals.

" The red tinge to Su's face was enough to make Walker close his mouth. If he knew anything it was that Su was not the best when it came to fighting against compliments and praise. Add that to large crowds and it was a perfect knockout against Su. Luckily, they didn't need to worry about that in the wild on the trip to the royal dragon court. They would be able to focus on the goals and strength that they needed to show to the world.

"Now hurry up! We need to get going!

"

"Hey! Who said we were running there!?

" Walker put in a little more speed to catch up to Su who had run off ahead of him toward the cathedral.
