Fruits of Labor

The following weeks held a schedule for Will, Roy and Maya. Every other day they would train their strength of aura against Gruter's. The opposite day would be spent honing their skills with Loren, Freya and Grandon. Every time they went against Gruter with their auras since they had been introduced to the three disciples, he noticed their strength growing significantly. As he watched the matches, Gruter noticed something else he envied. Not only were Will and Loren fighting with the earth affinity, but from time to time, he could notice burning points on each of the earth lances. He could tell that Loren had accepted Will as an equal as he now held the evidence of his respect. He might not notice it right away himself, but Will had already gifted him the affinity of fire, though whether the man knew or not, he didn't bring it up to his master after the sparring.
