Dangan frowned. Ion had definitely given him something to think about.

Azel soon arrived beside Venus, Yuki behind him. He poked his head over her shoulder, having to stand on his tip-toes to do so, much to his disappointment.

"The guild's going through a rough time, so this batch of recruits would be appreciated," Ion told him. "It's not like how Ennio and I trained you, in set teams. I think Azel and Venus are going to mix the teams around, teach the kids to adapt and build more bonds. Also, if you have an idea, you have to sell it to Venus. Azel's a prodigy, but although he's smart at exploring, Venus seems to have him wrapped around her finger."

[Stabberz]

Dangan rolled his eyes. "Bonds... yeah okay." He folded his arms. "A prodigy he may be and as good at teaching as Venus may be, they won't be able to drill the kids into shape. It'll seem harsh at first... but they'll have to suck it up."

[Big Uri]

"They were taught by Fiero, so I reckon Venus'll probably be the nice kind, where Azel will have taken more of Fiero's approach and could be rougher. I figured they'd split the kids up and let them tale missions with a supervisor at first, when they're not training," Ion guessed accurately. He was an old hand, he knew the job.

"Oh, hey." Venus said, noticing Azel arrive. "You what all the commotion in the main compound is about?"

[quackers are yummylicious]

Ukashka frowned slightly, wondering how long it would take for the two to notice her. Ah well. The older members' gossip was interesting.

[Big Uri]

"I 'unno, but I guess we'll find out son enough," Azel replied, shrugging as he went back on his heels.

Ion had caught the sounds of Ukashka's footsteps in one of Dangan's thougtful silences.

"Hello Ukie," the Electric-type greeted her.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Ukashka wrinkled up her face childishly at the sound of her nickname. "My name's Ukashka..." she muttered to herself, before raising her voice. "Hi, Ion. Who's the Floatzel?"

[Big Uri]

"Dangan. An old graduate, you were here when he was, weren't you?" Ion asked.

[Stabberz]

"Any high hopes within the recruits?" Dangan queried.

[Big Uri]

"You're joining in with the recruits, right?" Ion asked Ukashka.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Oh. Yeah, he looked a bit familiar. He left not long after I...got here," Ukashka nodded, though she'd been playing dumb to confirm her suspicions. "Hi, Dangan. Welcome back."

Hearing his question, the Vulpix frowned. "I don't like them. They seem really stupid this year. Yeah, I have to tag along with them."

[Big Uri]

"Yeah, her, the other ones didn't look that great. Just her cos' she already knows the guild. Could be terrible at fighting," Ion mused.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I'm not terrible at fighting! At least, I won't be once I figure out these explosives!" Ukashka protested, her pride a bit hurt.

[Big Uri]

"Should practice with your moves too, pup," Ion reminded her sternly, the drill sergeant in him coming out.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I know, I know... I will. Figuring out the explosives is just more...important right now," Ukashka grumbled reluctantly. Balance was good.

[Big Uri]

"You might not have as much time to work on 'em, being a recruit," Ion warned. "Also, what's this I hear about you getting a rookie room mate? They shouldn't be staying in the main complex, unless I'm missing am exception."

[Stabberz]

"And here was me hoping I could find someone with enough talent for me to give that extra push." Dangan murmured.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I dunno. The Charmander just kinda barged in, and I didn't know whether it'd be rude to kick her out or not. They didn't seem phased by the explosion, so..." Ukashka groaned.

[Big Uri]

"You get years like that. I mean I got a tough year, there were kids like you who were ready to be moulded. Then there're kids like Azel, who's raring to go and be an explorer but has respect issues. Even the kind ones like Venus, or how Azel's father was, they're good. Of course, there are the quiet students like Ennio was, they're perfect to teach but impossible to change into something more," Ion explained, before shrugging to Ukashka.

[Stabberz]

"Between you and Ennio you barely kept me in line." Dangan said fondly.

[Big Uri]

"I barely kept Ennio from killing you, you mean," Ion chuckled.

[Book the Hero]

Venus nodded. "It sounded like someone has shown up." She said. "Anyways, can you help me gather the recruits in the yard?"

[Stabberz]

"Pfft... he was always prattling on about my unfulfilled potential or something." Dangan remembered.
