As he was about to reach the door, he remembered to knock which surprised the chief.

“Tom, you knocked!”

“Yes I remembered. I’m here to talk to you about an idea I have, that will help with the coalition.”

“I’m all ears tom”

“Well...to work better we need to shorten the time it takes to move between villages”

“Yes, that will be great we can move merchandise from village to village”

“We need first to build roads that will make it easy for our carriages and riding animals to walk and run and by that you will shorten the arrival times and it’s better for the animals' legs”

“I’m guessing you have more stages to your plan”

“Yes chief. I have an idea for a mass transport system.”

“Tom, you're speaking a different language.”

“Sorry chief. I’ll try to explain. If we take a few wind stones to create small whirlwinds we can use it on a carriage to lift it up and thrust it forward. A floating carriage if you will. If we set up a rail for it from point to point, we can ride the floating carriage to all of the coalition villages”

“Tom, from where do you get all these ideas?”

“I don’t know. the more I learn new things the more I understand and connect them together like a puzzle”

“You've got some strange skills, but you do the best with them”

“Oh Tom, you’re too much for us. Listen, a group of kids and some adults will come to us to start learning and helping with the construction of the wall respectively. I know you could do it alone but I didn’t want you to overspend yourself and I wanted you to teach the adults what you can.”

“O.k. chief. I’ll go talk to my students and divide them into teachers based on their abilities.”

Tom left in a hurry and shot the door behind him with such force that it made the office tremble.

“Sorry” Tom yelled as he slowly ran to the village center.

At the village center Tom met his students. They stood in front of him like soldiers.

“You all know by now what is going on and what's going to happen from tomorrow. I’m going to build a few things around the coalition’s villages and build a school in the center of it all”

Tom took a big breath, crossed his hands and exhaled.

“Sheleg, from now you will be my second in command, as I’m going to be the head of security of the coalition and head of the school I need people I trust to help me. All of you are going to teach all the other kids like I taught you.

Each and every one of you have your own specialties which you’ll teach the others. Don’t forget to keep exploring your abilities and teach them to the others.”

After Tom said his goodbyes the kids hugged him and left to train.

Tom spent the rest of the day building his air carriage. He built it from metal he extracted from the ground and leftover from the blacksmiths.

He took some gems and infused them with “Hai” (the energy that creates magic and skills) to create the wind stones and control. He developed a gem that can absorb hai from the environment so his inventions can go forever.

Tom decided to call the carriage ‘air cart’.

The next morning as all the new people from the other villages gathered, Tom arrived at the village center on his air cart.

All the new people were scared but the villagers reassured them and introduced Tom.

After the formalities ended they began their jobs. Tom took his helpers on his air cart to the village gate.

He gave a short lesson on how to operate the air cart so one will always drive it.

Tom and his helpers went to the agreed upon location to start the wall.

He showed them how to make the wall and let them practice while he started building the wall. After a few days they got the process and the skill for it. they split into two teams, one team lifts the ground to become the wall and the other team plates it with stones and an adhesive compound.

After more then six months of wall building tom has returned home.

During his work he stopped at the other villages and helped them plan how to extend the villages for population growth and more needed services.

A day after Tom returned, he went to see Shleg and the others.

When he got to the arena all of his students and their students came to see him.

After a short conversation, Sheleg and Tom sat on the side of the arena looking at the practice.

“It’s good to see you Sheleg how things are going?”

“Everything is great. The student fought a few monsters and some benefits and won with ease.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, that’s why I want them to fight you, they lack teamwork and combination attacks.”

“well , o.k. I’m up for some light workout”

Both of them entered the arena, gathered all of the students and explained the situation.

The student didn’t wait and started attacking Tom. he avoided them all.

The match continued for a while with the teachers yealing all kinds of tips to help the students.

After 4 hours, the students ran out of stamina and hai.

“Well Sheleg, all of you taught them well. I’m guessing it’s time to go to the second stage.”

Sheleg looked baffled.

“I’ll explain. I’m going now to build the school in the center of the coalition. I’ll take the best of you with me for more training

as the gourds of the coalition.

The rest of you will train the next class and as time passes another round of selection for the guards will be held.

This is how we’ll choose new guards every year. It will allow those who failed before, a retry.”

Sheleg had a grin on his face.

“So, we need to fight each other until the best remains.”

“Yes, but not so chaotic. All the new students will fight in a tournament based competition. the winners will go against the teachers

in a points system.

Those students with the top points will be chosen.

If any of the students don’t want to be guards but teachers or any other thing they can do so.“

Sheleg took all the students and teachers and worked out the tournament.

The next day, the news of the tournament spread like a wildfire.

Spectators came to the arena to watch it.

It became a big sporting event with a large crowd including people from the other villages thanks to Tom’s air cart system that he built while working on the wall.

The event went well. 10 competitors won and were recognized as official guards. The villages’ chiefs came to the arena to watch the tournament. Tom was asked by his chief to escort him to the center of the arena.

“Hello everybody. I’m chief Rexsios, the head of this village.

Me and the other chiefs came to a decision.

From now on the coalition will be named after this village because it all started here and Tom.

With great honor, the coalition of Carotus welcomes the new guards.

Which they will be known as the white blade unit.”

Applause and cheers were heard across the arena.

The chief signed the crowd to relax, and told the teachers to stand behind him..

“As you all know by now, Tom here was assigned as head of security for the coalition and head of the new school.

His first students and now teachers will become the elite unit of the coalition, the sword of Carotus under the command of Sheleg, Tom’s second in command.”

After the announcements the event turned into a festival, of the foundation of the Carotus coalition.

At night, Tom said good night to all of the people and went home to prepare, for leaving to build the school.

As Tom tries to sleep he hears a bell sound.

“Master?”

“Yes Palis”

“Your level rose again and also your status.

You gained a few more titles”

“What titles?”

“Great builder, traveler of the wind, teacher, headmaster, commander, supreme commander, head of guards, guardian of the coalition, great creator, initiator of the carotus coalition.”

“Palis?”

“Yes Master”

“Why can I do all these things?

“I don’t know master”

“Good night Palis”

“Good night master”
