Chapter 2217: 2217. Proclaimed Students

The reason Su found herself in this odd situation wasn\'t just because of the growing number of people finding classes that were similar to the heroes that they adored. That was just a part of it.

Many people had begun to idolize the heroes along with the representatives on the Genesis council. That was to be expected. Those that decided to pursue Su\'s example were those that had seen her kindness and ability to defend those around her. They had witnessed it and been inspired.

That was also part of the fact that rumors and gossip about how much time she spent with healers and assisting those who were injured kept growing. People just couldn\'t stop telling one another about the hidden guardian of all that had been harmed or who might be coming in to harm. A powerful twin shield that would block any attack then charge in to the battle to attack using the very same shield to prevent further harm.

The other large reason that Su found herself in this situation was one person.

"Walker is going to drive me crazy." Su\'s mumbling was unheard of by the more than twenty students that had proclaimed themselves exactly that, students.

They were not all young, but they had heard of the fact that those with certain classes might have the chance to gain education from the heroes and other higher ranked figures within Genesis if they had the proper class.

There was also the bonus that if Walker showed up while she was teaching them, that they might get their affinities tested by Walker personally. A major boost to their knowledge about themselves. Su knew this and so did they. Walker had caused this and now she was stuck with

it.

They had all begun showing up when she had volunteered at the cathedral for a few hours to ensure that it was clean and prepared for the inevitable injuries that would filter in to be healed through the day. Accidents were never perfectly avoidable. The world was not perfect but a constant flow of change.

"As you all heard, I can teach you these shield arts. But they are both defensive and offensive. Offensive shield skills are always just shield charge and that\'s it. Make a shield slam or two related skills. But never a full on offensive." the younger self proclaimed students looked at her as if they were seeing a chance.

There were some older people that had gained their class later because they had never had a system in the first place until the world had returned to its flow properly. It had taken time but they were ready to fully embrace whatever they needed to so that they could become stronger. To follow a path to a better future.

"As you all understand, an academy will be built sooner than later. Many are working on it and the project will be greater than what many expect since it will focus on educating those that wish to learn unique methods of growth. Or it will be focused on researching new classes. There are even the talks of making significant research on ancient bloodlines and their influence over growth."

None of this was a lie and it was easily found information by those that went looking. Especially those that were closely following the potentials that the academy being panned had. So many people would attend it and have a chance to grow. It was easier to say that it would be a continental focus rather than just a small school of education.

"But none of that will matter if you can not protect it. None of that will matter unless you have the courage to be both viscous and kind." Su\'s mentality was like this. Now that she had accepted her half dragon race, she knew that she, as a true draconic guardian, had to be able to fight with vicious brutality while defending those she cared for. Did that mean she was only that though? No, she would show pure kindness to those in need.

"Sister Su is teaching a class there. Should we join in?" Onyx was asking this to Gil who had managed to find Onyx for another small task they had already completed.

"I think we can do better than that. If you sneak in there and pretend to be a monster, we can start a little challenge to show off what Su means by defend and attack with shields. Plus, she will have even more people amazed by the skills she teaches. Making her class grow when that academy is built." Gil\'s small desire to cause a little trouble would easily get him slapped by Su if he was caught.

"Is that alright? Won\'t he be angry?" Onyx feared that Su would just get angry with them for interrupting. Gil on the other hand, shook his head. He was skipping out on some of his current tasks so that he could join in the fun here. He had been the only one enjoying the fact that everyone was so focused on affinities and the future of an academy instead of other things.

Not to mention that he had been sending out the gossip that those of the strongest within the academy once it was built would be able to travel to the elemental planes. A place of mystery and strength that has yet to be explored. It meant that they would be trailblazers too. A big deal.

Onyx effortlessly blurred in to the shadows. Unknown to him, Su had noticed him and Gil a while ago. She know that Gil was trying to play something of a prank to get out of some work, so, she let it be. Now she was going to show him what he earned for doing so.

As the shadows stretched out, Su dashed to the center where she saw Onyx appearing. "For example, the shield charge I just used was a good way to boost my speed and get to a place that needs defending." shadows shot up and attacked but found that they had hit nothing but Su\'s shields.

"Your shields can be both your defenses and others. But traveling with them takes strength. Training your body so that shield is one with you means that it is like another limb. Like it moves to your will without needing to control it. Because it is a part of you, it moves like your body does." Su whipped a shield around and slammed it down breaking a small shadow coming from beneath here.

"Even using small amounts of mana mixed with your shield can disrupt the start of magical skills like shadow spikes forming as you just saw. Then using the base of your shield can be used to slam down and create uneven footing for those that try and follow you afterwards." Using both shields, Su deflected another shadow then used the other to kick up a rock. "Using some earth mana makes it easier to direct a potential projectile like this. Did you think a shield user could ever have a ranged attack? No, because you all looked at shield users as a stationary wall. Or even as a moving wall without much else to do."

The rock was boosted with Su\'s natural earth affinity. In a swift movement, she slammed the shield kicking the rock in to the nearby trees and right in to Gil who fell from the tree branch

he was on.

"Or you can use your shield to stop someone\'s fall." Su dashed ahead slamming her shields together and creating an angel for Gil to hit and slide to the ground. It wasn\'t a soft landing, but he had been saved. At least that\'s how su made t seem. Gil would have landed on his feet if not for her intervention.

"And if you think that this is all Su has to offer you, then you are wrong. She is definitely going to be teaching an entire class on the ulterior uses of shields. Onyx will be showing off the duality of light and darkness." Gil tried to make it seem that he had been participating normally. He even made Onyx out to be teaching one day too.

"Oh, don\'t forget that Gil will teach a class about climbing trees and how to prevent bruises and cuts when falling. He tends to fall a lot when he isn\'t paying attention to his own work." Su smiled softly, but the gleam in her eyes told Gil that he had just ended up with even more work for the future.

"Of course I will teach too. I can\'t let down my family when they expect me to help out." Gil smiled through the future pain he would be in by gaining a student following just like Su.

The students who had proclaimed themselves as such just looked in at the there in awe. They believed this all set upo to teach them alone. Amazing heroes who always went above and beyond any expectations. Or at least that was how the party was seen by many. Not that this was a bad thing at all. It would inspire people.
