The Ark Of Help Center?

"I highly doubt Mav will feel pain from many children on top of her when a Valkyrie's strength could carry a mountain," noted Tomoe, smiling at the scene.

Mavislin fell onto her back as Raiyen and Tomoe helped to pry the kids apart from the Valkyrie.

"I think I understand how Ashley and Minwoo felt when I keep crashing into them for hugs..." laughed Mavislin, moving Nasima away from her stomach.

"I'm not too worried about being crushed by these kids, but I am worried about them controlling their powers. So far, only Circe and Amani have the discipline to hold back themselves during training sessions. Either that or Nasima and Midori's powers are more chaotic."

"I wanted to leave after seeing Nasima's round, but I think I have to change my plans after losing the Marksman. However, tomorrow won't have any teacher-to-student training sessions. Thus, I could finish the work on the Orphanage with the Time Mage over there."

"We are about halfway there. The sooner we get that done, the sooner I can answer some pending letters by the Five Kings," explained Mavislin, finally getting up from the grass.

"Answering the Five Kings' letters? Since when did you become a help center for them?" asked Raiyen, forgetting that he was in the past.

"Help... Center?" asked Mavislin.

"Oops, what I meant to say was since when did you become a place where the Five Kings could write you for the problems in their Domain? But, unfortunately, they aren't powerful enough to fix their issues," replied Raiyen, sounding angry at Mavislin's job.

"That's my job to do as replacing Baldwin for being in charge of the Five Kings. Remember that the Five Kings were a group formed by Baldwin and Minwoo. I was there to see the two of them create the formidable alliance that controls the Five Domains today."

"Those Kings and their successors are all powerful enough to control their Domains and fix up minor issues amongst the humans. They would only ask us for help if an incident involves Magecraft or a Mage has been hurt. I've got my way of taking charge of the Five Kings."

"Thus, I have indicated to them to tell me any missing person problem ever since the Umbra incident. We lost the main King because we couldn't answer the call for help on time since they didn't have proof a Mage was involved at first. I am not making that mistake again."

The Valkyrie glared at Baldwin as she spoke that last sentence. Anger was laced in her voice as Baldwin was still feeling the repercussions of his miscalculations about the Umbra incident. Had he answered Minwoo's call, that White Rat and Earl Yan would've been alive to see the following dawn.

Baldwin felt twice the pain since Mavislin and Minwoo had a special bond, like an uncle and niece. After all, Mavislin had known Minwoo before Raiyen came along, so the pain was even more problematic for Mavislin to endure, especially since she was the one who had to end the White Rat.

"Right now, I've sent Bryan to research on the reports at the Briton Domain. They seem to have a problem with the lowest District, the Prisoners' Den. I don't know what issue, but it was something for Bryan to work on as the Slayer. So let's focus back to the training here," said Mavislin.

"I hope that's something which can wait for now as I heard Z has bigger problems on his plate. But, when you stated Midori's Element, I recalled something about it," stated Tomoe, remembering an important clue.

"What is it?" asked the Valkyrie curiously.

"The Element of Wind or anything to do with storms would always end up in chaos since it's one of the more dangerous elements in the spectrum. A small breeze could turn into a hurricane. Funnily enough, the Wind Element is a descendant of the Element Of Time," explained Tomoe.

"How did you know?" asked Raiyen, recalling that information being said by Gillian.

"You and I share the same head. So I would say that's unlucky for me most of the time," retaliated the Kitsune while he opened his fan.

"Unlucky for you? What about me? I've got a pet running around without a care in the world doing god knows what. And I can see you doing everything. But I choose to ignore your random escapades. Because unlike the rest of the Founders, I've got a Familiar with a clear mind."

"And stubborn personality!" argued Raiyen.

"Does this often happen with the two of them? Doesn't seem very sightly to me," asked Duncan, nudging at Mavislin.

"Yes, unfortunately. But count yourselves lucky since Raiyen and Tomoe are too tuckered out to fight each other in a real duel for today."
