Greeny

"RAYGARD?", Audaxia exclaimed her eyes wide with shock. Ace raised his eyebrows showing a slightly surprised look before returning to his usual bored expression.

"Hahahaha!", Edgard laughed his hands on his belly. "I forgot to tell you, he was always at home because he likes to play with the little stuff. Master realised he liked to analyse and fiddle around with them and always giving me ideas for the little details in my creations so he taught Ray to be a tinker instead", Edgard explained while slinging his arm around Raygard's neck.

"Wow, another Smith's with the small stuff now you can make a store named Gard Brothers Forge", Ace said unenthusiastically letting off a soft sigh. "Actually I am planning to use that as my new store name but changing it to GARDIAN forge HAHAHAHA!", Edgard laughed again. Raygard looked towards Audaxia wearing the suit and the goggles in her hand.

"It seems that you are going to use the Visor that I made. Let me explain to you how to use it", Raygard spoke straight away, ignoring Edgard laughing beside him. "The visor lens is made from a triantula eyes, a burrowing spider that hunts and lives underground. The visor works better in the night than day so I recommend you use it at night more.

He gestures to Audaxia to wear them.

"Wow, I can really see almost everything here. But everything so green here. Oooooo I can see a slight pulsing of red colour like flames and a hint of blue", Audaxia happily spoke out as she turned the knobs while looking around. Suddenly she saw lines of string everywhere on the branches at one of the trees.

Noticing where she looked, Raygard went over with a roll of string in hand. "Thats where we catch unsuspecting prey that try to eat the fruits of the trees. The web is not very sticky but it is one of the strongest in the known world. So when someone or something gets tangled up, they will take a very long time to get out", Raygard explained while he gave the roll to her. Curiously, she pulled out an arm length to see it, trying to stretch it apart to snap it.

"It doesn't snap easily since it's very durable, it can even withstand my brother's weight. So you don't need to worry if you're using it to climb", Raygard explained again. Edgard looked at them for a moment before running off towards the forge. Everyone looked at him coming out of the forge. Two bronze coloured short daggers were in his hands.

"Here, I believe this would be useful for you. Seeing that string reminds me of this blade, maybe you could use them to their full potential", Edgard said to Audaxia passing the twin daggers to her. Examining the blade, she realised that there was a hole at both ends of the dagger the size of a finger.

"I like it", she said to them as she spins the dagger and twirling the other between her fingers. After awhile, she puts them both into the side pockets along her thighs. She looks at the roll of string blankly, not knowing what to do.

"Here, I figured you might not know what to do, the bracer underneath your forearms have a small stud pointing out, put these on them", Edgard said to her while passing two disk with string wrapped around it.

"Your daggers are made from high steel and the back of it has a slightly serrated edge meant to cut the string when you have enough of it. You have a limited amount of it so be careful when using them", he continued while seating down on the rock again.

"Alright enough talking, I'm getting bored just hearing you guys talking. Audaxia go do the course again I want to see if there are any changes", Ace grumbled while standing up and turning around to the evaluation course.

Audaxia strut towards the course and stood at the starting point stretching her body and doing a few warm up exercises. *Whoosh!* She charged towards the row of rocks. Everyone raised their eyebrows in surprise since they almost could not see her movement.

*Fffff! Fffff! Fffff!* She weaved through the rocks like a flowing river. *Boom!* She flew twice as high than she previously jumped over the boulder. "Make your hand into a fist! Use the claws on your gloves!", Raygard shouted to her.

Clenching her fist, she drove it on the boulder while also using her pointed boots to grip making her look like she was crouching on the side of the boulder.

*Crrrrrrrrkrak!* Audaxia's mid finger claws embedded into the boulder as she slowed down then letting go and doing a flip, landing softly on the ground.

"Your boots have a soft sole inside to absorb impacts whenever you land. But there's a limit to how much force it can take so don't go overboard with it or it will weaken faster", Raygard explained again walking towards her.

"Seems like you really got a strong servant. Damn your luck is good", Edgard grumbled to Ace beside him. Ace shrugged his shoulders as he slowly stood up.

Audaxia stood there flexing her body in different ways still trying to get used to her suit. "Time to make a move, you can continue the test along the way to his house", Ace told Audaxia while pointing behind him where Edgard and his brother was standing.

"Hey, what's her nickname gonna be?", Edgard questioned while fumbling with his beard. Raygard beside started tilting his head side to side also in thought. "Just call her Greeny for now. Simple, short and sweet. The commoners will name her themselves", Ace lazily replied beckoning her to come to him.

"Alright Ed, let's go. We don't have much time", Ace said to them looking up towards the nights sky as he slowly walked towards the store.

The brothers were stunned at how lazy this Master was. Shaking their heads, they followed behind him.
