Gil's question had caused a buzz within the archer squad of trainee enforcers. They had all just went along with the single use arrow method due to the fact that they always had the resources. "With the city open there will be a lot of trade. This means the material you make the single use arrows out of might be rarer. Of course, the queen could order them to be held at all times. But do you want to take that risk and lose a valuable resource to bring your kingdom to an equal with others?'

Gil had used this as motivation to get them thinking. He had been lucky to have an exceptional blacksmith to craft them for him. But, these archers would not have such blacksmiths ready. They needed to use their own skills to find a new material to carve arrow shafts and arrowheads from.

From there they needed to make sure they could infuse the arrow with the elemental mana of choice which might require them to use different materials or even create different shaped arrows. "I believe we are up to the challenge. We will have prototypes for you within the hour sir hero." Gil was surprised that the squad had split itself in to different elemental groups. They had leaders that ran off to gather materials while the others pulled out papers to sketch.

"This will be a lot more fun than I thought." Gil started to make rounds to assist in the sketching and also learn from them. He found that for every place he helped them improve he also was learning something new himself. It was the best possible situation.

While Gil did this Scylla had been watching from the corner of her eye. She easily noticed that Gil had the same system as the arcane marksman in the trainee enforcer squads. She wanted to hear the reasons for this since she was sure this was not the case prior. Sadly, she could not abandon her quest for her personal curiosity. She had things to do.

"You're all supporters, correct?" There was a chorus of yes and we are's from the group of supporters system users. "And I believe you are mostly healers and those with buffing magic? I doubt many of you had debuffing or attack skills."

Scylla had not asked this final phrase in the form of a question. She had already known. "I will expect all of you to die in a real war. You are weak and as far as my kingdom would be concerned you would be cast away from the army." This caused many angry looks towards Scylklla. They were still important people top their kingdom.

"Fine, fine, then I wonder, will you survive any attacks from me? If my kingdom were to come here and wage war, would any of you live?" Scylla raised a fan and just the action alone kicked up a torrent of wind. She raised another fan and water started to flow and form a puddle below her. The elves looked at her in fear due to the extremely concentrated water and wind elemental manas.

"I am a dual elemental affinity ancient monster trait demi-human with the rank of general of the front. I am one of the most powerful people in my entire kingdom and if I so choose I can crush every one of you with a single wave of my fans. I would not even need my true skills." Scylla had scared the supporter squad to the point that most had fallen to their knees or bottoms.

"Those still standing are with training. Those that are not standing need to gain more courage. But you will be allowed to train and watch while I guide these twenty that stood strong." The elves that stood were made up of fifteen trainees and five off duty enforcers.

"The twenty of you must have different systems. I heard one elf mention battle healing while they shouted before. What else?" Scylla pointed her closed fans around to the twenty.

"I am a user of the light shield system. I focus on creating light based support skills."

"I am blessed to be a user of the prayer system."

"...war priest system"

"...spirit hex system'

"...elite healer system'

"...wound devourer system."

Scylla was happy to hear about these systems. Some were very rare where others were extremely rare. These elves all had support based systems but they were amazing nonetheless. "I believe that your systems have pushed you to be able to handle m,y pressure. That is why you will all be the pillars that hold up your front line."

Scylla paused while looking at every single member of the support squad now with the twenty in their front. "These twenty will be the reason your brothers and sisters will stand instead of fall. I would not want anyone else to hold me up. Now give me the reason why." She demanded a response.

"We would not fall when faced with death." The one who called themselves a war priest system user stepped forward and spoke.

"Yes. Now, who here thinks they can raise up a soldier that I have stuck down?" This final question caused many of the support squad to steel their will. This wasn't just a threat to their life but one to their entire people.

The elves that couldn't find their steel hearts stepped back and walked away from the training. They realized that they had taken the wrong path and were better suited for healing common injuries or boosting the craftsmen. This was a small number and left only those who desired to be able to stand behind those willing to throw their lives at a great enemy.

"Now stand proud, you are all real supporters from this moment on. My first training will be simple. Keep those who stand next to you alive with your skills while my family tests you."
