Chapter 1350 1350. True Talents
Aiden found himself sitting in his office wondering what to do. The little hatchling had been escorted by Midnight and the elite dragonkin warrior. Aiden had ensured he was up earlier than usual to meet them and prepare the office for some lessons.
"I wish I had a better way to speak with you, but I am just human. Hopefully, you can follow along with how things work." Aiden had gold out on the table to show the relation to how objects would cost for payment. He had also grabbed the identification card to show how most people would pay for items.
The little tag hanging around the hatchling's neck was left without a name but still had access to a small bank account within the Genesis building. It didn't contain anything just yet but would be there as the hatchling grew.
"Appraisals are very important. We can tell things about an item that owners might not know. Like this." Aiden picked up a small vase. This is old but looks very new. However, when I use an appraisal skill I can see that it has been made using earth slime cores. It is tougher and made to last generations. That increases the value."
Aiden saw the hatchling examine him then the vase. She sniffed it before watching Aiden grab a monocle to check for details. "Here is a scratch, it's small so it does not decrease value too much. I have to check the quality." It was strange but the hatchling started to catch on.
The small appraisal explained the what of an item but nothing more. However, she had easily started to understand the shake or nod of a head. When Aiden showed her the small scratch, he shook his head meaning that it was bad. But as he showed the large unscratched artwork, he nodded. Therefore, she knew it was good.
To Aiden's wonder, the little hatchling moved toward one of the paintings on the floor waiting to be appraised. She sniffed it and pulled it toward him with extreme care. Her rounded teeth didn't cause a single bit of damage. After carefully examining it she nodded.
"Hmmm," Aiden appraised it over and over from multiple angles. "You are correct. Not a single flaw. Well taken care of. Was painted fifty years ago. I would say this belongs in the next auction." This was perfect progress. The elite dragonkin took careful mental notes about this to tell Mordant later that day.
While Midnight had found her hands full after heading toward the adventurers' guild and running in to Gil, she was very happy with Gil's plan.
"I want your hatchling to hide. We are playing hide and seek. My archers have failed to remain hidden multiple times so I asked some of the elven mages to help make the training field a little interesting."
The training field in question had taken a radical change overnight. The mages had manipulated the earth to form faux trees, vines, and even pits in the ground. It was easier to call this place a stone forest.
"That means the hatchling I'm in charge of is the hunter here. Good. he needs to work on bodily awareness. I wanted to just sit and see what he is like with his attacks, but this is better. We can both show off our skills." Midnight proceeded to huff and growl slightly to explain some of what Remey and Gil were planning to the hatchlings.
They could not perfectly understand, but it was good enough. "Most of the students are already out on different quests with their groups, but those that are not ready for that are here. They either just awakened their system or have struggles. Help them out." Gil said this and proceeded to dash in to the changed training field. "There are other adventurer's here too by the way!"
An added challenge of having adventurers meant that the hatchlings would need to identify their targets before tagging them. "Don't let him sneak away! He deserves a punch for making it harder!" Gil knew that his students were already trying to hide. But he would also be trying to tag them since it was only fair that he helped out.
Midnight kept the hatchlings in sight. She didn't feel that she needed to worry over the one with the shadow wrapping skill. She had already disappeared. However, the male had not even tried to hide himself. He followed Remey's lead and chased after Gil. But Midnight soon found herself surprised.
The scents of adventurers compared to the archery academy students could be said to be different. Midnight was around Gil often enough to know that they had the scents of wood and feathers on them at all times from their various arrows. The adventurers would smell less like that even if they were archers themselves due to their travels to different places.
When the male suddenly stopped and started sniffing, Midnight realized that he had not been haphazardly chasing Gil with Remey. He had been tracking using scent alone while following the similar scent of Gil. But he had come too close to another similar smell. As he jumped in to the air and punched on a nervy stone log, a small squeal of surprise rang out. The male had found his first target.
Even more surprising, when Midnight looked, she found that the female hatchling had snuck up behind the very same student to grab her hand with her mouth. Both had gone for the same target with different approaches. One used stealth and the other used their body's natural strengths. The male didn't need magic skills because it had a better scent. The female didn't need a strong body because she could catch her prey unaware. The two were opposites but successful. Very successful, so much so that the elite dragonkin watching were open mouthed in slight shock.
