Chapter 112: Celebrities? No, we’re Field Guides
Kellen helped Brent gather everything they could carry on the first run and they headed for the obstacle course room. It was empty, since they had booked it for the day, and Brent and Kellen began setting it up. Kellen went back to the Field Office to grab the last few things from the office, leaving Brent to set everything up, while Kellen ran around the Guild tower to pick everything up.
He had to stop by the storage area to pick up the rack that held all of the uniforms as well. No one approached him as he moved around the tower, but he definitely felt their gazes on him. He hoped it wasn’t for any negative reasons. Maybe they just hadn’t seen anyone in a Field Guide uniform before? It wasn’t common for them to be worn around civilians, so maybe that was it.
Eventually, Brent and Kellen had set up everything the way that they wanted, and Kellen was proud of them. It wasn’t a classroom in a traditional sense, but it was the kind of classroom that Kellen could make. Brent sighed, looking over everything with his hands on his waist.
"This is probably the best we’ll ever be able to do." He said, and Kellen nodded in agreement.
The room was wide, and because of the small space near the door with the cubbies, Kellen had the idea to do stations. By the front door was the table with all the booklets on it, and beside it was the rack with the uniforms. It made it easy for the students to find their sizes, get changed since the change room was right in front of them, before they would go over to the area set up with pylons. That space was marked out into a few sections so they could go through some stretches, and Brent had drawn on an eraser board some demonstrations and reasons why.
After that, they were going to run the obstacle course, mark how far everyone got on the first try without Kellen or Brent running it, they would then run it. They would then run it again slowly, and point out what they were doing. Then, the students would run it again, and then Kellen and Brent would sit down with the booklet, go through the plan for the course, and this was the last time people could drop out. He was worried that people would get scared, and that was understandable. Kellen didn’t want anyone to join if they weren’t serious about it. People who weren’t, died quickly.
"I think we did a pretty good job for us." Kellen told him with a smile, and Brent glanced over at him. For a moment he didn’t say anything, but then his shoulders relaxed and he sighed.
"Yeah, we did. Well, is it time to go pick the first batch up?" He asked, and Kellen glanced at the giant clock on the wall. They had planned to pick the first group and second group up from the Guiding Division about ten minutes before they had said the classes would start. They were quite early. It was only 9:45, so they had some time to kill.
"We have some time. Did you want to go grab a cup of tea or something?" Kellen suggested and Brent gave it a thought before nodding.
