Master Of None

While the party had just finished storing everything and everyone was talking about how they would get a few days of rest so that they were in their best conditions, Walker suddenly heard the footsteps of someone running to them.

The boy who had rushed to them with a few letters in hand was one of the foot messengers used by the guilds to bring information back and forth that wasn’t pressing. The foot messengers were cheaper by comparison to the harpies and batmen that flew through the air. It was also better than using a communication crystal once which was more for important information that could not wait.

”What brings you to us?” Su approached the messenger and was quickly handed a few letters. Some of which were marked by the adventurer’s guild and also the educational leaders who had just registered as the education guild with the Genesis building as it made things easier for general education. Having them as a guild would allow the same focus and funding that other guilds received along with regulation.

”Thank you for accepting these letters. Have a great day!” The messenger was off with a pep in his step. It seemed that he was very happy to deliver something to the hero party and see them all. But work was work and he was rushing off trying to get to his next delivery.

”The adventurer’s guild is asking us to attend the presentation happening today. The educational guild is asking for us to be surprise instructors today. It seems they have a joint session for the basics of survival and adventuring.” Everyone recognized the look in Su’s eyes. She had already accepted in her own mind before she had even said what the letters stated.

”Well, then while we take some days of rest, we might as well teach.” Walker didn’t shy away from this. He thought it was a great idea.

Their party would be resting to make sure they were in ideal shape while also making certain that those they had prepared before leaving would be well off. Any issues that arise before they leave can be handled safely so that for the remainder of their time away nothing is of issue. It was also just to keep their minds clear as well, everyone would worry while they were away and lessening that burden was important.

Gil looked at the others and was darting off toward the adventurer’s guild training fields. He knew exactly where such a class would be held and knew exactly how old the participants would be.

He had been one of the people who encouraged the newly appointed education guild to hold classes with other guilds for the children’s benefits. This way they could learn what each guild did while they received their general knowledge on culture, the world, and the laws of Genesis. Therefore, they would be better equipped to be able to choose their path and help them gain a quest they wished to pursue later in life.

”It’s a race!” Midnight leaped in to the air and dragged Su along. The two took full advantage of having wings even though Su was still not as fast as Midnight. But they were off leaving Remey who was surprisingly shaking her head before smirking and setting off with a burst of flames.

”Onyx, would you like to…” Walker trailed off, Onyx had left in the shadows and was well ahead of him. Walker was the only one who wished to take things a little slow today. Maybe he should really start to push the envelope and speed up too.

Once he neared the larger training field, Walker found that everyone else had already made a bit of a showy appearance. Gil had leaped training obstacle to obstacle just as eleven archers would in the trees. Remey had settled with flames surrounding her all making small potions without the need for her alchemy lab. Midnight had landed with a small roar to grab some attention. Su came with her shiniest armor and shields to make sure she wasn’t outdone. Then Onyx had taken his full size and coiled nearby keeping an eye on everything.

I Walker kept things simple. A wave of the eternal codex in magic staff from brought a soft white snow down around the area. Not enough to be cold but enough to surprise everyone.

This wasn’t a small class but several educational schools built throughout all of the Genesis territories brought together within the adventurer’s guild training fields since there was enough space. This allowed every guild room to set up small workshops, training areas, and demonstration platforms.

It was a future guild class fair. A place where everyone of the young children could be introduced to guilds and even ask a thousand questions to calm their minds. For them, it was a base of knowledge for them to decide what they would pursue once they finished general education.

”I seem to be the last one here but I hope everyone is ready to explore a little about the potential you have.” Walker’s voice boomed as the guild representatives gave waves and a few cheers.

The number of children here was excellent for setting a good example. But even more so were the teachers around. Easily over a hundred trained and prepared teachers were splitting groups to go visit each guild area. They were working seamlessly and even partnered with attendants from each guild to make sure everyone had a chance to see everything.

The arrival of the hero party also showed that there was a very large focus on the children’s future. Many of them saw the party splitting up to different areas. Su’s movement toward the guards helped many of the guards begin showing their defensive formations and began conversations about how people could join to protect their homes.

When Gil started speaking between the crafters and the archers from the adventurer’s guild he had the scouting groups join them. He was showing the children various places that the guilds would intersect to work together properly.

In terms of Remey, it was alchemy alchemy alchemy. That and the herbalists. She was able to walk small groups through the entire potion making process. Herb going to processing to potion in hand ready to go. It was educational but also a little sneaky since she was able to get the farmers in on things as well.

As Midnight moved around freely, she seemed to be focused on the cooks. Nothing surprising until she introduced a young dragonkin who was making waves as a new head apprentice in Walker’s mother’s restaurant. He’d heard of the dragonkin but now realized as they spoke beside Midnight that he was more advanced in taste and smell to find the best produce for every dish.

Alice was humming softly while she let a few of the other healers take the lead. Healing was peaceful and calm, it didn’t need loud calls to bring attention. The people knew of the value in healers and nuns so it stood for itself. However, Onyx was there assisting since he knew very well that many of the young serpents had leaned toward healing due to being raised in the cathedral.

Furthermore, when Walker began moving around himself, he found that the mages and rune carvers naturally came to join his conversations. He used magic so often that it just made sense people would utilize his skills to bring the younger generation in.

What really surprised Walker were the children who began shouting about awakening a class or finding a class. It seemed many already knew their interests and were looking to break in to their path here and now. Something that truly spoke to the betterment of Genesis in terms of new discoveries.

A few crafters even began teaching their apprentices to illustrate how classes would go. Something that came with many of the information guild narrating what terms were necessary.

The information guild provided newspapers and other communication based forms for the people. Right here they showcased their variety of knowledge and the usage of it. Meaning that their self advertisement leaned on the other guilds work as well.

The unity being shown only grew more in depth as the taming guild showed up and began to share their efforts in the forming of monsters for food along with exploration efforts. Even the experimental craftsmen in some unique areas of Genesis arrived to speak about new techniques and theories.

Walker was stunned at what the children of the next generation could do. If he was a child again and was looking at everything, he might not be able to make up his mind.

He also felt that this chance now was perfect. He could relax while sharing what he knew and even see the start of new classes no one had seen before. It was too much for him to even stop smiling while listening to it all happen.

He didn’t have to worry about Genesis while he was gone at all.
