"Lord, good morning and welcome back to the training grounds.

" Shay was already at the training grounds waiting as if she had known they would be there when they woke up.

" Remey, this is shay. She is the draconic martial artist you might be able to share some skills and experience with. I also wish she would just call me Walker…

" More than anything, Walker had learned how much he hated the stiff titles that were used for those above oneself. He couldn't help but think that the king might be driven crazy if he had not become used to it from a young age.

"It is an honor to meet you. Please guide me well in our matches.

" Shay bowed slightly as Remey started to give her a once over.

"Su said that you could punch and kick but I would rather hear what you can do with your claws.

" There was no hiding the claws on a dragonkin's hands. They were sharp in general but at the moment Shay still had hers shifted in to the battle form that could tear through metal if need be.

"I have the dragon claw skill and the shift skill. When they come together they work very well to break an enemy's defenses.

" The tone Shay had perfectly expressed the excitement of having another hand to hand combat type system user around. The other draconic warriors all used spears, swords, or axes.

"I can see that you have some knuckles that attach to your gloves. Can I ask what they are for?

" Shay could already feel the different elemental mana around Remey and had her own theory along with what she had also heard. But it was better to hear it right from Remey since it might reveal some tricks of the skills.

"These are elemental knuckles. They use different materials and attract different elements. I haven't tested what they all do because I have been focused on alchemy lately. I want to test out some theories when combining two different elemental knuckles in the same hammer fist.

" Remey showed the knuckles that she knew already knew had certain reactions to her attacks.

"I would be grateful to you if I an be the assistance you need to complete your battle research.

" Shay was more excited when she saw Remey punch with her elemental fist attack using the fire affinity knuckles. The heat that came off without flames was decent and she could tell that if done with more experience or an open flame around there would be fire on the knuckles to burn the opponent.

"I want to watch and see what you two come up with. I might get some inspiration on my magic combinations if Remey tests something a little different. But first, let me make a fire and a few other elementally condense areas along the training field. It will help you use your elemental fist skills.

" Walker saw the training stop when he spoke. Unknown to him the other warriors had been paying close attention to their words. After the previous day, Illia had educated them on how to act.

When a royal would come around it would only benefit a dragonkin to pay attention and act accordingly. It was simple for a dragonkin to be ousted from a position or even a village if they did not keep an open ear for what the royal wanted. Therefore, the training field was cleared.

Walker made a fire in one corner, froze another, and made another more rocky. The shadows were brought up by the rocky ground he caused when manipulating the earth. The wind was already blowing and the sun was out now so light and wind elemental mana were already there. The main thing Walker would need to watch was the fire that might go out if he ignored it.

"We are ready. Let's see what you can do with those knuckles!

"

Remey strapped on the first knuckles in a swift downward motion. She had been practicing this motion while they traveled so that she could clip and unclip them at a second's notice. The speed she had was definitely going to result in some form of skill. However, what was catching everyone's attention was the alchemy fire spirit that had shown itself and rushed to the fire to sit within it. Fire elemental spirits were not at all common in a cold and high up mountain with dense wind and water elemental mana.

"My partner might help me out,

" Remey smirked as she fell in to her stance and one of the knuckles pulled flames toward her. The alchemy fire spirit was giggling about helping out. It was a lot more fun than just doing alchemy even though the spirit had changed because of alchemy and learned to love it the same way that Remey did.

"I do not mind my opponent having a handicap.

"Shay sounded calm but her eyes flickered with mischief. It seemed that the two were more like each other than they were letting on. Under Shay's calm demeanor was a brutal martial artist that like to punch just as much as Remey did.

"You know, we may have made a small mistake here,

" Walker whispered to Su since they were both standing and watching.

"The two might have a little too much fun…

" Su could feel the energy growing as well. The look on the sparring pairs' faces was not just one that said they would spar. It was of two people looking to show off and use their skills to their hearts' content.

"Yes yes, I will give you a few mana crystals to eat while you watch.

" Walker could feel what Midnight wanted and promptly handed over some of the water elemental mana crystal she had in his storage. Midnight started to snack while laying down and waiting for the match to begin.
