Master Of None

Chapter 782: 782. Slash And Block

The three shook of their ominous feelings as just part of the harvest festival. The stories and the slight chill from the harvest season would just make everyone feel on edge for no reason. ”Well, head out back and check things out. I have plenty tp do here.” Clara motioned toward the group of younger people walking in and Walker knew that she would be trying to recruit all of them.

”Alight, we will hopefully see you later. Good luck recruiting the next rising heroes.” Walker said this a little louder to draw attention and saw the eyes of those who had just walked in light up. Hopefully, he had just helped Clara out.

”Do you think we can help Remeyʼs brothers and sisters get their systems today?” Lisa wanted to help out while they were here and was looking at Walker for guidance.

”I bet we can, and even if they donʼt today, we have time before we plan to head out on another trip to help them.” This was all Lisa needed to hear as she bumped in to her older brother in excitement. She wanted to be able to help out and maybe find herself another seamstress.

The training area had been turned in to a well organized walk through of tables and games. The weapons displayed near the archery area were new bows and throwing knives with the odd throwing ax. There was a blacksmith running the space who was trying to get people to hit a target or to show off their skills and hit the target in the same place twice for a prize.

The training dummies had been changed out for one with a pumpkin head and it was the favorite for the swordsmen to slice in half. There was a man demonstrating blindfolded sword play with a wooden sword. The game was simple and the person playing could easily win if they started focused. The goal was to hit the dummy three out of fine times after being blindfolded and spun around.

If you did there were small wooden swords to win ad if someone managed to hit it five out of five times they received a coupon for the next sword they had forged.

Walker spotted Remey and her siblings in front of a shield display with Su. Gil had already made his way to the bows and was going to be there for a while. Midnight and Onyx on the other hand, had found themselves a place in the corner to watch. They had no interest in weapons since they didnʼt use any. They also werenʼt motivated because there was no food offered as a prize for any game.

”Leader, this game is perfect for me. We get a shield and they toss balls at us to block. If you can block all thirty I can win us a discount forging coupon.” Su was too excited that they had a game that having their own forge at the mansion had slipped her mind. It was funny seeing Remey give the knowing look for a change since their roles had been revered.

”Anyone want to try and beat Su in this shield block game?” Remey was having a little trouble getting her siblings to try things since there were so many people in the training area. They were just a little shy since they had to possibly try and fail here in the open.

”Well, if you canʼt beat Su and Me then, I guess no one wants me to buy them one of the pumpkin candies they were selling at the entrance.”Walkerʼs words were like fuel on a fire. The kids were completely baited and rushed over to grab the small child sized shields.

Walker had already equipped one of the wooden game shields and Su took the opposite end as him while the children that wanted to try were already in the middle. The small game started up with one of the blacksmith apprentices tossing an easy to block ball at them. Before they knew it there were five apprentices all throwing at the same time.

The children began to dodge as giggle as they were bumped here and there while trying to win.

Walker was not trying his hardest to play since he wanted to watch the children the mos. But he noticed that Remeyʼs little brother had also managed to get ahold of the wooden sword too. ”Why would I get just a shield when I can block with a sword too?” Remey was shaking her head at her younger brother.

”ElI! You always take too much. You were-” Remey was suddenly cut off as her little sibling Eli started to slash and block at the same time.

The blacksmith apprentices started to talk a little bit more and focused on Elis with their attacks. Each one was blacked and it appeared that Eli was using a skill. ”Ha! That was twenty two out of thirty! Slash and block combination is the best!”

Remey ran up and grabbed Eli by the shoulders, ”Did you just unlock your system and you didnʼt say a thing!?” She was too glad that it had actually worked that she was forgetting herself for a moment.

”Whoooo, thatʼs the fifth person today! What system kid?” One of the apprentices had pulled a piece of chalk to go and write on a board. There was a record of who had unlocked systems fro someone and they were all keeping track.

”Umm, I got the knight system. It said I can use a shield and sword to defend what I hold dear.” Eli realized that all the attention was on him and his defiant and excited attitude began to fade.

Gil had sprinted over hearing the shout, ”Congratulations! We got one more system unlocked! Who wants to come and try the archery range to see if you can be an archer like me!” Whether it was because Gil was so excited or the children were excited by their sibling unlocking a system, no one knew. But they all followed Gil toward the range.
