Church of Isekai -2 - страница 6

They both looked around the office then walked into the area where the beginners were taught to make elementary parts, pulled some of these parts from the trainees shocked into silence and within several seconds the hands of the Master made two boxes with tops. The trainees whispered with excitement and I got my choice of sizes. I took the smaller one, walked a bit aside from anyone who can get too emotional and controlled the Brownie making it fit itself into the box. More whispering from the trainees. Then the Alchemist Lady asked the Artifactor if the boxes can fit one into the other? Yes they can, with a little room between them. She told us to follow her, took us to her lab asked me to put a small one into the large and poured something from a small bottle into the space between the nested containers. Then the top was closed and she assured me that the glue that she poured in is the toughest there is. They can put some water-resisting wax on the outside or maybe paint it. I got the wax and thanked them sincerely. While I’m here, maybe they need anything? I have no other room to offer for the classes but maybe they want to take over a Barrack during the daytime? Working outdoors it fine too.

I walked away as the Chiefs discussed setting up 15 desks outdoors and rotating the students. Or maybe read Introductions to Potion-Making to Artifactors? Show basic Artifacts to the Alchemists? Maybe we need to locate someone with Crafting skills? Let’s do that – let’s look for a Crafter to get them build us more tables. You were going to develop a material for tents – when that’s ready we can maybe make a fancy outdoors classroom. We’ll use it to test the pole design and the cloth strength. Self-unfolding with a stretching canvas? No, let’s say 20 days – 10 is way too optimistic.

As I was walking back to the Boss Mansion where I’ve decided to take over the Office and keep it for myself. Everybody needs a place to call his own – and the office of the Old Boss probably suits me well. Besides I suspect there are other secrets hidden in there and I need to get them out. A small flock of Level-1 Demi-Humans was strolling by. I suspect the Captain of the Guards had let them go for the day. I totally lost track of time – the daylight time is almost over. I have a big plan for tonight but that’s later. For now let me talk to these Fluffies.

I walked over and asked how are they feeling. Is the training keeping them occupied? Are they getting into it? What would they like to be trained in? Maybe they have some skills that I’m missing and they would like to have developed? They were scared at first but slowly their answers got longer than 2 words. Yes the training is fine. The Demi-Wolf is scary. No, no he doesn’t hit them or bite them or even yell at them. Still scary. I told them that’s his job to be scary – he’ll scare our enemies when they come and you can grow up to be strong like him. They are nodding. No they are not too tired. Crawled in the grass, played “catch”, chased the silly dancing Fairies. No they didn’t hurt the Fairies, just chased them. They didn’t mind – they like being chased. Learned plants. Trained with Assassins. Those are really scary. Nice … they didn’t yell too and said they like the Fluffies.

All of the time I was looking into each of these kids seeking their Talents. None. They have no Talent other than basically being Puppies and Kitties. What is the reason the World had created you… How do I use you? And then it hit me – I need to see them all at once. Once I did, I got an option to define them as a “PACK” or a “LITTER” and when I did so, I made that group open for new members. There is a characteristic of “cohesiveness” that seems to be tied to how much time they are active together and will affect their future leveling. I told them to make sure to be at the training tomorrow and to make friends with other Demi-Humans that they train with and that aren’t here right now. Once they all become acquainted their lessons will be feel simpler and probably their extra talents will awaken. As they were walking away, I heard one saying, “Did you just feel something? Me too. He did some magic to us. I want to do magic too.”
