Master Of None

Walker felt the confidence in every step and was practically putting off a positive aura. It was a lot of emotion at one time but he was happy to have spoken out about what he felt and thought. It put him in the ideal mindset when the entire group made it to the adventurers' guild. 

"OOOOhhhhhh loook. The heroes arrive to try and steal the show! Come on in and beat the heroes at any game and maybe you will win a prize!" Rodney was out front representing the blacksmiths who had set up most of the games and also forged the tools. They were here to show off skills and even make some sales if possible. 

"Hey now, don't go using us to try and get more people to come and try out your weapons and games." Walker couldn't help but return a little of the attitude to Rodney who just laughed along. 

"I have to do what I can to make my pay today. So far the games have not been pulling in too many people. But with the heroes here we can see a major increase instantly." Rodney had his arms crossed while nodding at his own master plan.. 

"He's right you know. With me sweeping through the archery games and winning them all people will think they are easy and give them a try." Gil's arrogant attitude took front and center before he ran to the training fields. He wanted t show off for a little while to get himself out of his own thoughts. 

"He's just jealous." Su knew Walker would understand what she said and followed Gil inside. 

"Alright, who wants to try out a bunch of games and see if you unlock your system?" Remey had high hopes that she would be able to help one of her younger siblings to unlock their system since not many of them had done so as of yet. The chorus of yes and attempts to rush forward were blicked by Midnight and Onyx who began to lead the pack. 

"Have you see the guild master today? Or the vice guild master?" Walker wanted to say hello but was not sure if they would be around. 

"Vice guild master Barry is dressed up as a golem today and has already left for the day to spend time with some of the soldiers that returned from their posts at the borders. The new guild master is currently on the main floor helping to get interest in the adventurers guild. It's the best recruitment chance due to the increase in quests with the new city and all." Rodney had been here all morning and was sure that the guild had recruited plenty of new blood already. 

"Thank you, Rodney, I will try out a few games too when I get there. Lisa, let's go see what Clara dressed up as!" Lisa was excited to see another costume. 

When the pair entered the first floor they found a sight that Walker never thought he would see. The guild managers were all dressed in different adventuring gear to make them look like wizards, swordsmen, shielders, archers, and many other positions in a party. However, Cara was the one that stood out most of all. She was wearing a bright red and white robe and held a matching book with many pages.

"You're the one who placed the private order for gear that matched the hero party gear!" Lisa recognized her own work instantly. Clara had anonymously placed an order for this costume a month ahead of time. 

"Well, I didn't think it fair for you to potentially give me a discount since I am the party manager. So I did what I needed to so that I paid a fair price." Clara smirked at her sneaky move. 

"Even if you had asked I wouldn't give a discount because of that. No one gets discounts because everyone is equal." Lisa was back to sticking her tongue out at people and Walker poked her side to get her to stop. 

"I wish I had worn my winter gear to match. It would have been a good look for the party to match with you one day. But maybe we can when it snows again." Walker hoped that Clara would enjoy the sentiment. 

"That would be nice. Maybe we can have a painter create something for us to put in the office." Clara would enjoy being able to look at it when she had the harder days. It would encourage her to keep working. "I assume you are here to try out the games? Recruiting really isn't as fun as it looks. But we have welcomed thirty new members today so it has been successful." Clara boasted her recruitments. 

"Thirty sounds like a drop in the bucket compared to what I am sure you will have done by the end of the day. You are correct though, we are here for the games. Remey wants her siblings to try everything to unlock a system potentially." They all were familiar with the try everything tactic of unlocking a system, Walker in particular.

"That has also been going well. We watched a child unlock a flying sword system earlier. It was pretty interesting since we have only seen it ten or so times. The last person to have the system could ride on a sword using win magic to control it." The system did sound very interesting. But what was more interesting was Clara's next words. "We did have a few reports of a strange man with pale skin walking around in a dark cloak. Someone said he managed to slice a training dummy in half with one of the scythes that were on display. It's pretty odd to see someone use a scythe around here.' 

"Well, I was able to use one with my system. It might not be as rare as we think." However, even after saying this, Walker still felt there was more to it than that.
