Chapter 1611 1611. A Little Fun

"Walker! That was the last boulder!" The fourth rock ice wall had really strained Walker. After the second he had to get a mana potion. Mostly because the earth and water mages were struggling. It wasn't so much the mana usage overall, but the sudden mana usage paired with the higher mental burden.

This had not been what some of the earth and water mages were used to. Therefore, it led to the mages expending more mana than they actually needed. That was just something they would have to train over time and something that would change as they became closer to their elemental choices in training. They had to understand the earth and water better to minimize mana cost overall.

"Understood! Get on the boats!" The exhausted earth and water mages were already moving when Su had made the call for Walker to prepare to release the built up water. She had ensured that the water mages would be able to have enough mana to direct the boats back to the ship safely. The earth mages on the other hand needed to rest a little before they would be able to push back the river banks for the other ships to have a safer passage.

The last boulder that had been hidden in the soil of the river had been the fastest to deal with since it was the last. It was also the largest so that was the reason that it had been left. It seemed that this was the one that had shifted under the earth and fallen off the back, in turn, causing the rest of the cliffside to fall. But the earth mages had worked together to move it at once, it would be the base for the outpost when it was built here.

"Water coming down!" Walker shouted and used his mana to control some of the water to make a pillar. It was just enough to push him toward a lifeboat where Su grabbed him. The water mages held them in place as the water pushed the boats backwards and up. It was only a few minutes before the water settled for the fourth time but Walker felt that they had accomplished something great.

There were a few shouts from the top of the ship which made all the mages feel like they had done an amazing job. But when they realized that the shouts weren't coming from ship down to them but for something else, Su and Walker shared a questioning look.

"What in the world?" Walker was the first to jump up and strep through the air. He let his curiosity win out when he heard the shouts going on.

"Brother, Su and Gil are training together right now." Onyx was awake and watching the battle happening. The surrounding soldiers were clearly very intent on watching this. A few of the elven archers were even starting to copy Gil's movements while a few dragonkin warriors were trying to mimic a kick that Remey had done before.

"Brother! Training time!" Midnight nearly punched on Walker but he managed to lean back just enough to dodge her.

"Is that what everyone was doing while we worked? Hmmm, I guess that is better than doing nothing. But I feel a little annoyed." Walker still had a little mana left and could not resist the sneaky idea growing in his mind.

"What's the verdict?" Su wasn't sure what was going on but Midnight rushed over to her shouting about Gil and Remey and how it was training time. Su was not as lucky as Walker to dodge the pounce from Midnight and promptly found herself on her back. "Why do you have so much energy? Shouldn't you be resting still?" It took Su a moment to process that Remey and Gil had been battling it out and taking up everyone's attention.

"I was worried about getting all the water mages back up safely after my soldiers checked the final completion of the collapse removal. However, I am apparently not the one in charge up here any longer." Leon even looked a little perturbed seeing that Scylla had made herself the referee to the training battle.

After seeing the rest of the water mages make it up to the top of the ship, Walker got everyone's attention. "It seems like everyone up here is too heated up from training. If everyone can help me with their mana, the water mages and I can help cool them off." The annoyance fell away and evil grins grew on all of their faces. Even Su was smirking a little. She was rarely mischievous but felt that this was very worthwhile to boost their morale after some hard work.

"Come on! Again! That move didn't work last time because you didn't move all the way through!" Remey had picked on Gil's broken movements to the point that he was forced to lessen the hesitation and broken flow of the different styles. This pressure was exactly what he needed to train his muscles in the goal he had.

'

"Then why don't you try and make your flames hotter? HUH!? Or are you afraid to stop these coiling fires of yours? They aren't even controlled!" Gil had been calling Remey out every single time he saw her flames stray from her fists to the air in streaks. It was why Remey had been

Able to change the focus of her skills and train her mentality. She was becoming more away of temperature and control of flames over everything else. It is also how she toughened her body

"You want more fire!?" Remey had gotten a little angrier since she had been called out so many times. But this time, she increased the red flames in to a darker alchemy fire. The alchemy fire was what she could control the best because she used it so often. She was also ready to lay down a hefty right hook after a jab. The only issue was the sudden shadow over the entire group watching their fight.

A few of those watching hesitated from cheering or trying to copy the two. They looked up at the shadow only to find that there was a wave of water falling right in to their faces. "And that, my friends, is the victory we get after our hard work!" Walker barely got the words out of his mouth before laughing harder than he had in a long time.

The water mages and earth mages had joined him in cheering and laughing. This was hysterical to them since they had been working hard and seriously for the last few hours. It was a great reward to play a small prank before heading to get some food and a good nap in.

"Did we really deserve this?" Gil felt pretty rough but looked at Remey who had also burst in to a smile. She would normally be angry at this but saw how even the soldiers watching them were breaking in to smiles.

"I'm glad I was just below the deck." Alice had come up to see the commotion. She was very impressed seeing the comradery growing on the ship. Even though hard work had just been done and people were clearly exhausted, they still had bright spirits.

"I find myself wondering what humans and other races think in these situations. However, it appears that they do value purity. They may not follow my example in pure elemental mana. But they follow purity in emotion. An interesting fact." Rise had silently returned to the ship from the sky. No one had noticed her watching carefully.

"This is why I am willing to invest in them. If dragons valued these things, we could accomplish greater things." Mordant also showed himself from the shadows. Alice was unsure of what to think after being sandwiched between two royal dragons.

After a few thoughts, she was able to solidify what she wanted to say before walking toward the soaking wet group throwing some cheers and jeers towards the mages. "This is the future. Dragons have a home in Genesis too." Alice walked away from them leaving Rise fairly proud of her chance taken on what Walker had said. But it left Mordant with a full grin.

"I believe that your mind is fully changed now?" Mordant looked over at Rise. "They banned together to go after our enemy and their enemy together. Dragons would have tried it alone first. The wyverns could have been a bigger problem." Mordant knew he was right. He too left Rise behind with his words and headed to join everyone in their good mood before it had passed him by.

Rise still held herself back but she didn't say a word. But if anyone looked hard enough, they could see a small smile on her face. Just enough of one to show how she was really feeling looking at this sight. Looking at the joyful dragonkin of hers that rarely showed smiles around her in the village.
