Remey was caught up explaining a few things to Elis since he was a little on edge now that he had a system. He wasn't sure what he would be doing and how he would go about things. Gil had taken full babysitting duty since he had led the other children to the archery games.
"Hey Walker. Do you think that the military academy will recruit a knight system user? You know, the kind of system known for protecting people as a body guard or defending those weaker than themselves?" Walker could tell that Remey was trying to get his help convincing Eli that he had a place to go.
"Oh, you know it. I would expect them to jump to get someone with a knight system in their ranks. I bet they could even have an entire group under them after spending years of hard work to get stronger." Eli looked much more calm after hearing another person speaking so positively about the future.
Remey nodded as a thank you for the help, "But, we can head there and check it out. I'm sure if Remey and I use our weight we can get you an entire tour. Maybe my father will even come.. He had a friend that's a teacher there. He teaches some sword arts and such but he's pretty famous for using two swords in battle." Walker knew that his father's friend was mostly a friend because the man had trained his father but that didn't matter. A friend was a friend

"Well, now that we have a knight around I can take a break with the defending. As a congratulations, one of the apprentices said you can keep the wooden sword and shield so make sure you guard me well." Su had perfect timing. Elis was ecstatic to guard Su against any danger and began to walk in front of her toward the archery area where Gil was trying to show off how great bows were.
"That's a pretty big deal, right? I really wasn't sure if one of your siblings was going to unlock anything. But the festival is the best time to try it with so many different people and activities around." The look on Walkers' face was confusion after saying this making Remey look behind her at whatever he was seeing.
"What's with you? You seem really distracted." Remey wanted to continue the conversation but he wasn't sure why Walker was so off.
"Well, I don't know. I keep seeing spirits out of the corner of my eye but I swear they are a blue dressed girl. Really throwing me off." The apologetic tone was enough to make Remey more at ease but she was still worried that Walker needed some rest of something and motioned for him to chew on one of the herbs she was carrying around.
"That's a mint leaf. It's nothing too amazing but the flavor is supposed to wake you up. It helps alchemists focus when we are making a potion that requires more attention. Maybe that will get your mind on track." With her hands over her head in a stretch Remey watched as Walker did as she had told him, "And yes, it's a big deal. I will see about getting a tour tomorrow and speak to your father. He should be able to help, like you said, he has a friend that works there."
With the help from Remey, Walker started to believe that he might just be focused and a little tired. The party had been on some long journies and the sudden slow down could be affecting his focus. Especially since he was not used to all the elemental spirits roaming about and exploring the city and festival.
"Come check out the unique weapons demonstration! Plenty of odd weapons and plenty of unique creations!" The blacksmith that was in charge of the space was motioning to a large number of unique weapons. There were multiple hammers, spikes shields, staffs with blades on the sides, and even a few scythes of different sizes.
"I wouldn't mind checking that scythe out there. I tested one when I first showed up to join the guild and I managed to use it for a while. It did pretty well throwing off my opponents and giving me a nice mid ranged attack option." The man looked glad to hear someone who had experience for a change rather than the people coming just to try out something to unlock their childrens' systems.
"Come on over. I have one that fits your height. Please feel free to target the training dummies there and show off a little. I will reward you well if you can get me a good crowd." The blacksmith had been hoping for this kind of thing to gain some traction. He had wanted to make some sales and was willing to invest a little if he could get enough.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then I recommend you back up. I will probably break those dummies." Walker glanced at the scythe as he took it and realized the weapon was much heavier than he had assumed it would be.
'Obsidian scythe
Atk +11, Matk +14, Def +5
Forged from the obsidian of a volcano, this scythe is able to withstand tough hits from an opponent and resonates with the fire elemental mana in the air allowing attacks that can channel the fire elemental mana. The attacks in general are incredibly strong due to the sharpness of the blade. This weapon is incredibly durable due to the obsidian material it is made out of and will last a very long time.'
"This is a pretty great weapon." Walker glanced at the waiting blacksmith and smiled a little. He figured a little experimenting with this could be interesting.
