Master Of None

"And you were saying that this entire tower was able to fold in to a large book then unfold? The power of runes is too great. Just like my armor, it is more powerful. Some stoned becoming like paper!" The dragonkin warrior that was covered in rune armor was just as excited seeing the tower. 

"It was an unexpected event. We did not plan to gain a mage tower so early. It was one of the future research projects though." This was the second time that Su had explained it. She was glad to show off but knew that it was excitement that was driving this questioning again. 

"Are you sure that you do not need someone to enter and make sure there is no danger? A dragonkin warrior like myself can defend many traps and potential monsters." There was a spark in the dragonkin's eyes as it said this. 

Su couldn't say no outright so she held the question off for safety, "You can ask Walker. He said he would personally explore it soon so that he could be sure that it was safe. I'm sure he wouldn't mind some help to guard the entrance for a short time. So many people try to rush in and explore it." The last part was too true. The guards had had a terrible time keeping people out of the mage tower. They tried to push in and explore it without any fear for their safety. 

"I see that there are some runesmiths over there recording some things. I will speak with them and ascertain their current understanding. I will need to report that of course!" The sight filled the dragonkin with more joy than Su could fathom. She didn't even hold a single hand up to stop him. 

"I guess it is just you and I now."

Su looked at the remaining dragonkin warrior. "I had a feeling that they would end up this way. However, they did not follow my lead and enjoy the street food that can be carried along with them.' This was a proud moment for the dragonkin that was leading the three. He had grabbed food along the way and was enjoying this way of enjoying multiple cultures. 

"I have to admit, with so many races here, the food is becoming very high end." It was just to be expected. With the different cultures came the different spices and diets. Since this was a big draw for food based system users, then the food was evolving by the day if not hour. Su saw that many shops had rare ingredients and other foods she had never tried together. Even Walker's mother had taken up the habit of personally shopping for new ingredients first thing in the morning before he would begin baking. It was a luxury that only food based store owners knew to use. 

"Shall we head to the adventurer's guild and we can get some training on? I am very interested to see the new warriors that may be sprouting here. I have a feeling they will soon be just like this food." The smoked kabob with elven vegetables and meat from the demi-human kingdom was exactly the unexpected fusion that an adventurers' skills could be. 

"Yes, that does sound like a good way to say it." As much as it seemed that Su didn't appreciate it in the moment she found herself thinking that this was a profound way to think about the cultures growing together. 

The two were a little tempted to try and get the other dragonkin to come with them to the adventurer's guild, but Su knew it was good for them to enjoy their time. It was pretty clear that the dragonkin would always be focused on their duty and quests for the village and elders. It was their main focus and there was honor in that. Having the time to relax a little would do good for them. 

"This is the adventurer's guild. It was built bigger so that it could accommodate the high traffic. Since there are adventurers of every race it should bring a lot of styles and new systems together. I would say that it will be the best place for everyone to learn." This was what the adventurer's guild had in mind. Su recognized it and had major hopes that there would be a large growth in the adventurers joining. 

"Hello, Miss Su. What brings you to the guild today?" Su was easily recognized. Her actions in the cathedral had made her a very prominent figure in the city and with any family. 

"I was hoping that Clara would have time to come and speak with one of the visiting dragonkin warriors. He is planning to teach some battle classes that are related to his culture. It will be a nice treat for the young adventurers." Many people overheard this since Su purposefully spoke loudly. She wanted as many people to take advantage of this as possible since it would only help people. 

"Of course! I will let the guild master know immediately. Please feel free to begin at any time." The attendant rushed away and up the stairs while Su pointed the dragonkin to the training field. The fields were fairly busy but had a large open space since it was still a beginning period in recruitment. 

"Now, what do you want to teach? Close combat?" Su already knew what it would be and saw the look of excitement on the dragonkin warriors' face. This was their specialization and they wanted to get to know the skills that the future generations of the city would be building. "Just make sure you go easy on them unless a higher tier adventurer decides to challenge you. They are reaping what they sow." It was also clear that some nearby adventurers were eyeing the dragonkin as a sparring partner.
