The last two months after unlocking his second origin, an excruciating process that he had no desire to ever repeat anytime in the foreseeable future, were insane. He and Penny found they could go longer, hit harder, and, to his perception, move faster. They'd trained for hours on end with everything they had. At the end of every day, they were tired and sore, but they kept at it each day, the tiredness and soreness growing less and less and more difficult to achieve, which pushed them harder. By the time they'd set out to return to the guild hall just a couple days before, the two of them could go toe to toe with anyone any worry about wearing down quickly.

As he and Penny approached the guild hall, he had to wonder what the others had been up to and how they all were. The last two months had been communications free with the guild so they could focus on getting up to par. And now they were, with Penny able to form and maintain fiery weapons of pain in the form of daggers, swords and knives along with her whips. However, he'd also grown closer to her as a lover and felt that their relationship was stronger than ever. As they entered, he noticed that Jamie was back and already calling for the guild's attention, so rather than say hi to those he hadn't seen in awhile, he leaned against a nearby wall and paid attention.

The last two months had been...interesting for Master Jack. When he wasn't busy overseeing job requests and taking reports for them, he was overseeing Eve's training and care, making sure that she didn't do anything that would bring the Magic Council crashing down on her head for supposed slights. And when he wasn't doing that, he was socializing and addressing his own training. He and Ammy would often train together with the training hall locked so that no one could spy on what they were up to, as Ammy didn't want word of her magic leaking out just yet. Sure the guild knew what she could do, but there were other guilds that would be competing that may not be above spying.

And when he wasn't doing that, he was sitting in the hall, watching his members go about their days. However, today was the day and they were already at risk of being late to Crocus.

Onward to victory!"[/color] Several cheers rang out as the guild headed out of the hall, full of excitement for the big event of the century. Jack smiled and laughed loudly as he lead the way, the members of Team Dragon Fang close behind with the exception of Hunter, who'd said he'd meet them at the train station.

Hunter sat on a bench in the train station and watched for his guild to arrive, having heard them leave the hall. Honestly, it was surprising the whole town hadn't heard them, what with all the cheering they were doing. While he waited, he pulled out a piece of jade and munched on it, reviewing the last two months in his head. He'd hit all his major training areas and even stumbled across a couple of new ones. He was stronger, faster, and had new moves to show off for the games. As he sat, he wondered who he'd fight during the combat rounds.  He could hardly wait and waved at Master Jack when he finally came into view.
