"Well it's final, one day you're going to give me a heart attack with all the surprises. First you're a healer, then you're a spatial magic user, and now you've tamed a rare dragon." Gil threw his arms up in defeat, knowing that things will only get crazier.

"Good thing we are adventurers, you will be able to easily feed Midnight by taking her on hunting quests. But please ask her not to eat all the flame newts." Su fretted behind Walker. He turned just to see midnight pouncing on to a rock and coming back up with a mouthful of newt.

This was a good opportunity to test out the telepathic communication ""midnight please leave the tails for us, we need them for a quest once we get back to the adventurers guild"" walker thought toward midnight. The reaction was instant midnight angled her head slightly then ran toward him quickly dropping just a flame newt tail in front of him almost bragging that she could easily accomplish this.

"Yea yea he's now a tamer and we are still short on flame newts so let's get moving. The sooner we are back the better I have things to do." Remey pushed everyone to move. Walker wasn't sure what she needed to do but didn't mind moving along also sensing that midnight wanted to hunt more.

The trip back seemed to move much faster than the trip there but the party was able to relax more as they watched midnight inspect every little crack and crevice for flame newts. They all wondered if this would become her favorite food and how many she would need to eat once she grew in to an adult.

'Midnight has successfully hunted 10 flame newts. The exp shall be split with the party. 10 exp each'

The system sent a message surprising the party because they didn't expect any experience  would be split from Midnight's feasting. Midnight however pranced over dropping the remainder of the tails on the ground with a proud look about her.

"Speaking of experience I leveled up after the last quest and I know Gil did too. But that makes me wonder, how did you get to level 6 already Remey?" Walker had been wondering this for a while but had held himself back as not to put any Unnecessary pressure on his new member.

" well it's not like it's a secret or anything. I grew up in an orphanage we always had to fight over food and other stuff so one day I got in to a fight with one of my siblings and there it was my Brawler system. It just works out that every time we got in to a spat I would gain exp. so if we can move faster I'd prefer to get back soon, who else do you think is bringing dinner tonight?" Remey's answer made a lot of sense, the situation almost seemed tailored to her system.

"So that's what you meant when you had things to do. You should come by my house my mother has the baker system and makes plenty of things you could bring home". Walker offered hoping that this would help her open up to the rest of the party more

"Maybe I'll do that, I'll think about it" Remey said quietly almost too quietly.

"Here I am, just getting my system through hunting with my father in the woods and you were out fighting already. I feel like I definitely fell behind." Gil chimed in with a laugh. " living on the outside of the walls my father took me hunting since he was an archer and I learned to forage from my mother since she was a farmer. You could say as a Ranger I got half of each of their systems."

"You know some people do believe the system can be passed down from parents so in your case that would make sense." Walker added.

All eyes then turned to Su expectantly. "It's your turn we shared ours and we already know about Walker's unusual system so how did you get yours Su!?" Remey was spot on

"Well it's not that good a story" she looked away embarrassed "I was trying to reach something on the top shelf and a bucket fell. I used my arm to block it...and then my system came up". She trailed off in the end.

"You know what they say, try everything you can because you don't know what will unlock your system." Gil chimed in to comfort her

"Has anyone else realized that we now have to take a baby dragon through the South Gate?" Remey suddenly inquired while stopping.

"Honestly I was pretending it wouldn't be a problem" walker said with a slight frown knowing he would most likely have to pay a fee for not having his beast registered with the adventurers guild.
