She continue training him for a few hours teaching him the basics of combat with daggers before they stop for the day :

“Enough for today I prepared a small storage ring with emergency equipment and a pair of daggers keep it with you all the time if I see you without it you will explain to the patriarch why your are at the infirmary.”

Gold take the ring he can feel the pressure from her after taking it he start to go back home when he remember that he has a dinner with uncle he hurry to go home rush into the bath and start to wash himself when he heard a knock on the door.

He is fucked the twins will kill him he hurry up to finish washing himself and putting some clothes when a genius idea struck him.

He turn his head toward his bed where to kitten were playing with each other if he know one thing about the twins is their weakness to cuteness.

He take the kittens and after letting let them eat he take the two fur ball making sure to put them in front of him.

He open to see the two girls in front of the door with a small evil smile but he use his special attack kittens attack miaou.

After defeating the two girls they walk toward the restaurant uncle chose.

The restaurant was just outside the clan when he cross the door of the clan he see the massive wall surrounding the city they were not so useful in present day the borderland were really far away from here now.

After walking a little bit more they reach their destination a small restaurant in a street corner they enter inside to see that uncle and grandpa have not waited for them to start drinking.

They quickly see them and sign them to come :

“Good now that the main stars are here we here to celebrate the soon to be wed.”

Helie was smiling when Gold and Luna were red like a tomato the party continue until everyone was sleeping except Gold and uncle :

“Gold you grown well I happy to see you grow for all these years take care of this two they really love you.”

He poured a drink before he push it toward him before he do the same for himself before a toast :

“If you need any help you can come see me I will always be here.”

After that the dinner come to an end and Gold help grandpa come back home.

The next few weeks Gold continue to train the theory the morning practice in the afternoon and combat training in the evening.

He see the little seed grow into a full grown plant but he was getting more and more frustrated as he see the flower continuing to be stubbornly closed in the last weeks.

It was another day has he walk between the multicolour fields he quickly reach the hall elder Lily was waiting for him on the side of the door.

After she see him she start to walk inside they quickly reach her study he sit inside the chair and she start to teach him the subject of the day :

“Today I will talk about something important so listen well you seen all the plants in the room behind you they are not here for decoration.”

She take a small seed out of her spacial ring :

“That seed has just been send from the front line remember one of our most important duty is to systematically analyse unknown plants coming from the front line that system has been put in place to avoid reproducing the multiple instances where unknown plant destroy major part of the ecosystem around them.”

After she start to teach Gold the basic of how to analyse unknown plant ans as the morning lesson was ending they quickly eat before walking toward the backside of the hall.

As they reach the small plot of land a lot of things have change instead of an empty field was a flourishing piece of land filled with a rainbow of different plants with a small plant siting in the centre.

The small seed has grown into a completely black plant with only a small fine golden line spiralling on the plant at the top was a firmly closed bulb.

The two of them were feeling really frustrated the plant only had taken a few days to grow to that stage but after it has not show any sign of activity.

At the beginning they just waited but after some time they try to find a way to make the flower bloom but everything they try failed.

His fears has materialize he had a bad feeling when he received his first task he felt that something was wrong knowing that the two next one will be harder that this one make him anxious.

He start to get out every tool he need for the plot maintenance stretch a bit before he start to work under his teacher.

As he was pulling a weed out of the ground he feel the whole world shake under him has he start to hear the alarm ring.

His mind goes completely blank :

“Gold run immediately to hall shelter right now !”

When he hear her he suddenly snap out of it and start to furiously run toward the hall when he hear the space tear he rush even more he take a desperate turn to get toward the hall entrance.

The men were already preparing the defence as Gold hear space tear itself even more violently he rush inside with everyone else toward the subterranean shelter.

As he enter the shelter he sit his back on the wall.

Feeling the stress of the situation go down he start to think more clearly he suddenly hope the twins are safe they better at combat than him but seeing the size of the breach they have no chance.

He let himself slid toward the ground before he close his eyes hoping that sleeping will help to forget his worry.
