Chapter 301 - 301. Anticipation

"The guild master's office is right this way.

" Clara knocked on the door before pushing it open.

"These are the parents of the little girl Walker told us about. This is Ibis out esteemed guild master. I hope you can have a pleasant meeting.

" Clara left the three of them to enter the office.

"Hello there, I am glad to meet you. Walker has notified me that he was with your daughter when she unlocked her system. He asked me to look around for a proper teacher for her since it's a rather tricky system.

"

Ibis greeted them with all the professionalism required. When he was not with members of the guild he often acted like this.

"Gale is the user of a storm wielder system. So far I know she has a skill that can create a very small tornado with some rain clouds. I believe that if she grows strong enough she will be able to change the weather in a larger area.

" Walker did not hold back with what he thought could happen if there was not a proper teacher.

"Yes, here at the guild we have a handful of adventures with dangerous abilities. For example, take mine. As you may know I have the control to summon light attribute elementals. One being an Ibis bird. It sounds like it could be cute, right?

" Ibis smiled but then raised a hand. There was a flash of light that condensed itself in to the form of an Ibis. It perched itself on his arms.

"Now she has restricted herself to a smaller size but normally she is the size of a small house. I had this spell at level five. The stronger I got the larger my friend here got. If I did not have a dedicated partner and a good teacher I could have become reckless. My friend here could have easily escaped my control and gone after the cattle in the farms.

" He released the summoning before looking at Gale's parents.

"Walker, can you please give us some privacy? We do trust you to care for Gale but as parents we would prefer to stand on our own two feet here.

" Gale's father asked him to leave. Walker was not unhappy with this at all, it was their family business and he knew that he had already given them the help he could. Leaving them he found that Clara had expected this and waited outside.

"Parents always get unsettled when talking about their child's future. Many who come looking for a teacher, as for private meetings like that. Don't let it put you off.

" She thought that walker would feel bad but after looking at him for a minute she realized that he was fine.

"So Su and I have some new gear to test out and hope to spar a little in the training fields here. Any idea on who may be around?

" This was a little surprise to Clara who knew that they normally trained at the mansion.

"There are plenty of small parties that usually pair up with the higher tied parties that stayed away from the danger of the horned rabbits. They have practically lived in the training field, by now I am sure they will be looking for someone new to try their luck with.

" Clara had broken up a few rivalries out on the training field sending some younger adventurers him with a threat of suspension. Things tended to get a little heated when they were not out taking quests or in their usual routines.

"Well Su has two shields that need to be field tested and I am trying to learn to use a hammer...so we will be taking all challengers.

" Hearing that Walker was not practicing magic was yet another surprise.

"I knew that you could use swords and a scythe if you wanted, but why did you think to try hammers?

" Clara was trying to put the pieces together so she could understand his thinking.

"Well I can't use the fire magic I have focused on lately. On top of that I do not think that earth magic will be fast enough. More so I am limited to what weapons I am comfortable with, so I decided to try something a little different. The hammer I have should be able to channel the elemental mana I use too so it should be a very useful strategy to catch an opponent off guard. Plus I should in theory be able to take out a slime with a single swing when I go to the deep sun hollow forest.

" Walker's ideas were sound and even just talking about it was getting his blood pumping.

The two chatted more about the kinds of elements Walker had hope to use while he was sparing and which ones he had higher hopes for. Naturally earth would be a decent option since the hammer had a high earth resistance. Fire also would be as well. However the two elements could cause harm to how the forest grew and fire would even destroy the forest.

"Well I expect using water to make some ice could be better. It would melt and end up nourishing the forest. I would skip wind through. It could damage some of the more ancient trees there. They can heal to a degree but cutting off branches is unwise. If you wish to get on good terms with the elves you will cause as little harm as possible to the forest. They are known for even tossing ambassadors in the prison for a few weeks for cutting branches for their fires instead of picking them off the ground.

"

Walker thought that Clara was just trying to tease him a little with this. However he did agree that using a wind element was not a wise choice. He could cause a significant amount of damage to a tree and potentially kill it. His recent planting experiences had made him care more about plants.

"Well I am going over to find some sparring partners. Wish me luck.

" Walker ran over to Su and Gale when her and Clara returned to the bottom floor.

"Go easy on them!

" She shouted after him knowing that she would most likely be called out for some trouble soon. It always seemed like Walker and his party were involved in some form of trouble.

"You two ready to go find some random sparring partners? I have been itching to try out my new hammer this whole time

" Walker had chosen the hammer since it would be different than any other weapons he often saw. Yet now that he was about to use it for the first time he was way more excited than expected. The very fact that he could channel elemental mana through it was the most amazing addition from the wandering blacksmith.

" Leader, just promise to leave some for me. I need multiple opponents to test my shields out on. My dual wielding can definitely improve.

" Su looked like she was in the same state of mind as Walker. Having a break was always really nice, but now that they had been idle for a few days they wanted to get in to a real battle and test themselves.

When the three left through the back door and saw the sight of the training field they were not disappointed. There were small groups here and there, some challenging others or already in battle. Many looked their way as they showed up, they were being sized up.

"Gale, want to yell out in challenge for us?

" Walker thought that the little girl would enjoy being part of the fun too so he gave her a job.

Gale inhaled deeply and placed her hands around her mouth before letting out her mightiest yell.

"Big brother and Big sister say they can beat you all up!!!!

" This high pitched shout nearly echoed. Walker and Su had wildly underestimated the little girl's lung capacity. She could deafen someone if she was not careful.

The sounds of this challenge brought over two groups immediately. One was a group of five fighters that looked to have been training in hand to hand combat. The other three were a more basic party made up of a magic user holding a staff, and two swordsmen with short swords and small shields.

"You can beat us up? Pftt those fancy shields must have been a gift from daddy, let me dent them for you.

" The best part about having Gale yell for the, was that their identities were not given away.

Walker had been sneaky and hid the medals and plaques they had just for this reason. He knew that when people saw their age and the silver tier adventurer plaque then they would be recognized. If they were they would have had zero chance of getting opponents. Even more so if Midnight had gone with them.
