"Looks like you put them through the wringer." Walker got Su\'s attention and as she turned towards him he noticed that she had barely broken a sweat. This spoke volumes to how well her new duel welding strategy was going. 

"Leader, I was able to try a lot of my moves just now. Things were rough to start since I couldn\'t balance against so many people. But now I can maneuver much better." This was good to hear, especially since she was still adjusting to her new passive skill; royal dragon eyes. 

"I had some good progress too. I figured out a little about my new hammer. The elements I can channel through it helped me get the elemental smash skill. It will be perfect to get rid of slimes while avoiding damage to the forest." Walker was very proud of his success and wanted to brag a little too. 

"Are those...flame dolls?" Su was looking across the field at a mage running from a flaming copy of herself. The random wind spells being thrown out at the copy haphazardly. 

"Oh, Yes they needed a little help training and said that they didn\'t want to spar with me anymore. So I made them some flame dolls. With three of them running on that small pile of hay they should be done in a few more minutes." Walker spoke true and after another minute the three flame dolls flickered out of existence with a wisp of smoke. The three prior opponents were completely exhausted. 

"I see." Su had no words to say about the flame dolls. The three definitely looked to have been having trouble against them. But if Walker said it was help for training then she would choose to believe him. 

Before the two could say another word there was a little girl running toward them at full speed. "Shouldn\'t you be waiting over there by the building to watch?" Walker tried his best at a disapproving tone. 

"They are too tired to move, it\'s safe." Gale pointed at all of the nearby adventurers who had been Walker and Su\'s sparring partners. None of them were even thinking about trying a skill. Instead they were sitting around drinking water in the shade. Some were even laying on their back seemingly asleep. 

"You know, Su, we might have over did it on the training today…" Walker was catching on that even though their level was lower, that they may have been a little ahead of the adventurers at the similar level or age. However he did not have much time to think of this. 

"Gale, come over here!" Gale\'s mother and father called out to her. They had just walked out on to the training field with Clara. "Oh there you are. How was the training?" 

While Gale regaled her mother with the things she had seen her father approached Walker and Su. "We worked out a teacher for Gale. Apparently there is an old mage that retired to a small village near the plains. They are always looking for craftsmen to come and work so we will move there in a month. That should be enough time to finish the job with you. We will insist that we are paid at a very steep discount for the work we do. You are allowing us to live at your mansion and have even introduced us to the guild master. Thank you very much." 

This thank you was completely unnecessary as far as Walker and Su were concerned. "We are just glad that you and your family are safe and healthy. You will need to send us letters on how you are all doing. Sadly we will be leaving for a quest before you leave." Su felt bad that she would not be able to see them off but it was part of the life they lived. Not everything would always happen when and where they wanted. 

"Su is right. You don\'t need to worry about staying with us or anything at all. It is the right thing to do to lend help where we can."  Walker fully supported Su with the same ideas. 

"Well in that case we are going to take a trip to have a letter delivered, we will see you later at the mansion." Gale\'s father headed back to Gale and her mother to go hire someone to take a letter to the village near the plains. 

Clara watched the family head off. "Well now that that is taken care of, you two must feel better." She seemed pretty happy that the two had helped out a family in need. Let alone brought someone with a powerful system to the guild. 

\'Heroic quest completed: Guide the young

Reward:

1 heroic point

10 exp multiplied to 100 exp\'

The system confirmed that they had completed the quest which was a welcome sight. Getting the first heroic point took a little more time, however having the quest completed made Walker feel more full than usual. 

"Well I guess you didn\'t cause too much trouble out here. It looks like you did quiet things down a lot." Clara was laughing at the exhausted young adventurers around. "Hiding your medal so they would spar with you. That is exactly what Barry used to do before he became the vice guild master." 

At the very least the two took some pride in repeating the footsteps of one of the best adventurers in the guild. It was an honor to hear this. "We can\'t just sit around and wait to leave. We need to train against people we have never fought before so that we can gain more experience." Walker was in full training mode and wanted to keep improving. The new skills have lit a fire even stronger than before. 

"While I do support you, I don\'t think making those flame dolls of yours is considered training when all you do is watch them run around." Clara became serious once again and gave Walker a hard stare. 

After swallowing hard and taking a deep breath. "Well naturally I will pay the guild for the materials used. Also I have been meaning to go over and check up with my sparring partners to see if they found any of their flaws." With Walker running over to his previous sparring Partners, Clara and Su embed up chatting while they watched Walker help them out. 

"I did manage to watch you use those two shields. I would say you look more natural with two instead of one large shield." Clara had seen the minute amount of damage that could be done to Su even against to mane opponents. To her it meant that Su was in the perfect position with the perfect weapon. 

"There is a perfect balance between my new shields. I feel like I don\'t even need to worry about damage making it past them. I still have a tough time pushing through  multiple opponents but it is getting easier. I need to strengthen my agility more." As she had trained she found that when she tried to push herself passed or in to opponents she was lagging behind. This would give her opponent too much opportunity attack. 

"Then you will need to be out there working hard to level up. From the looking of it Gil is off hunting. He might have some extra experience already." Clara did not want to put Su down but she did hope to spark a little rivalry so the party would push harder. Since they were going to the deep sun hollow forest she had been doing some research and was fearful that they would have trouble with the stronger monsters. 

"I know we asked you to be our manager and we have really benefited from the things you bring. But have faith that we can get the quest done. We have surprised you before right?" Su took a little line from something Walker would say to try and put Clara at ease, however, it seemed to have an opposite effect.

"Surprises are what i am worried for...I am a young person you know, way too young to have my heart stop every time you all do something crazy." Clara was slightly pale remembering the many explosive bursts of experience she had seen them game.
