Chapter 15 Part B

Continued from Part A

"The food problem and the survival problem both can be fixed with developing more ranger class job people. So we need to get that to be a higher priority," I answered them right after the food question came up.

"Won't that also help us find a town too? I'm pretty sure mapping and navigation were in the ranger skill tree," someone said.

"That's correct," a kid with a ranger job said.

"And finding a town can help us find allies. By meeting others," Yumi smiled.

"But meeting others can be a problem if we meet the wrong others," I reminded them.

"Eh? Is that true about the ranger job or anyone with mapping and navigation skills being key to meeting others?" Raya wondered.

"I hadn't thought about it that way. It's kind of an advantage isn't it?" Akimoto was brightening up even more now.

"It's as good a guess as any. I can see why they would have higher probability from finding stuff because of scouting. The scouting skill would be really useful for that," Yuta said aloud.

"But even if they have the skills, people have to be willing to go out and use it. They have to be brave enough to go explore and do stuff with it and not just hide at whatever camp we're at," I said.

"That's true," Yumi said.

"Oh, now that you think of it, Akimoto did discover the enemies. So enemy scouting has to be earned," Yuta said thoughtfully. "It would make sense that you have to earn the skills and can't just get them easily and for free."

"But how do I use my magic or whatever? Or do I even get any? Or is the ranger job and others like the blue collar version of magic?" Akimoto said. He looked puzzled and a bit desperate too.

"Blue collar version of magic? I think that you are over thinking things too much," I snickered. What's wrong with being blue collar anyway...blue collar people often get to work for themselves more. The point is to be successful and happy, not to worry about if you are a special title or social rank. That follows successful people anyway." I think Akimoto hadn't realized rangers would have a lot more freedom than other jobs. If he were to realize it, he'd value it more. In real life the hardest thing to have was to be free for yourself.

"Blue collar are usually more independent actually. If you work for others they own you," Yumi cautioned.

"Well it's whatever rangers use magic for? Probably having to do with hunting, hiding, or finding stuff. But it didn't say or explain that part," Yuta said sympathetically. "Sorry." She shrugged.

Several kids groaned.

"I guess we still have to figure some stuff out," Akimoto suggested.

"Well, I think it's a bit different than that. Your skill is like a life skill maybe and probably uses stamina and endurance instead?" Raya suggested, but seemed to be guessing herself. She was also going over in her mind who the students that had become rangers and what they were like.
