All the duels had finally finished. Due to each commander having a high tier as well as proper battle prowess, everyone had managed to level up.
[Shaman]
Level: 110 -> 120
[Elysia]
Level: 106 -> 113
[Silver]
Level: 103 -> 110
[Clara]
Level: 108 -> 114
Kiruya had arrived by the gate and saw Shaman walking over. Seeing that she was injured, Kiruya went over and helped her walk to the gate.
"You did great Shaman, let's get you back to the mansion." Kiruya got Shaman to sit next to Elysia, who was trying not to move because of a cut in her stomach. Sliver was leaning on Elysia's shoulder, asleep, as he had passed out from exhaustion and Clara, being the least injured, casually sat across from them.
"Alright sit tight while I transport us back to the mansion." Kiruya had not really shown any of her capabilities until now, so this will be the first ti any of them will see her elent.
Standing in the middle of them, Kiruya spread her arms, her hands facing towards the ground. Suddenly in a small radius everyone started getting picked up into the air.
With everyones hair flicking back and forth, it was clear they were being lifted by wind. After a few more seconds, Kiruya had already raised them further from the ground, getting as high as the gate.
Going over the gate, Kiruya carried them slowly through the air, keeping a steady pace so Elysia did not get hurt from any sudden movents.
"Thanks Kiruya."
"Aha no worries Shaman, if things had gotten worse, and Freja would've jumped in to help, but you have outdone yourself this ti." Kiruya is a tier 8, as well as one of Freja's strongest, so if things had gotten worse then Kiruya was more than capable of helping.
"I don't know if getting broken ribs is a great outco, but I have to say he did not seem all that strong. It makes wonder if they were given their strength.' Shaman knew that people can be born in a higher tier, but wasn't sure if there was a way to increase soone's power through artificial ans.
"That's sothing we do not know, but it's very well possible that soone has created a way to boost soone's power and is selling it through the black market." Kiruya did not have much information and thought Freja would be more inford than her.
"I see, well seeing how the nobles did not have very ethical ways of operating, it wouldn't surprise if they did use the black market." Shaman heard Freja's speech and the soldiers telling their story, so it was clear their business in the fox realm was far from over.
"It's sothing you shouldn't worry about. If I recall correctly, you will be heading to Elfheim and I might be coming with you." Kiruya had talked with Freja while they were fighting the commanders and the latter considered sending Kiruya with them.
"Huh? Aren't you tier 8 and much stronger than us?" Shaman was a little confused, as if Kiruya ca with them it would make the mission rather trivial.
"Yeah, she said sothing about becoming friends since she noticed I liked you guys." Kiruya was slightly blushing as she was also admitting she was fond of Shaman's group.
"Heh, I'm surprised Freja is letting her little kitten go so far away." Elyisa, who had been listening, couldn't help making a snarky remark.
"Shush!" Kiruya was now completely red. Even worse, the wind platform she created began to wobble.
"Woah"
"Ahh!"
Screaming out from the sudden movent, Kiruya quickly regained her composure and stabilised the platform.
"Oops." Elysia, knowing she was to bla, couldn't help looking away from Kiruya to avoid eye contact.
"If you keep that up while we do the mission together, I swear I will beat it out of you." Kiruya glared at Elysia.
"Uhh She would enjoy it." Shaman interjected, getting her own sneaking remark in.
"SHAMAN!" Elysia was now the one blushing and felt extrely embarrassed.
"Pfft." Clara struggled to keep her laughter in, but also blushed a little thinking about the scenario.
"Heh, it isn't so fun now is it?" Kiruya, happy that Elysia got a little taste of her own dicine, couldn't help but revel in it.
"Well we could say the sa about you." Shaman, wanting to share the teasing, went for Kiruya.
"Yeah so?" Kiruya this ti not being flustered by it had left Shaman at a loss for words as Kiruya had suddenly beco sowhat shaless.
"Damn." Shaman gave up as it was probably not good to try to tease the very person transporting them through the air.

Landing in the courtyard, the maids had co out to help transport the group to get healed of their injuries.
"What can't the maids do?" Shaman was surprised as it seed like the maids were capable of anything and covered almost all the basics of life.
"Hmm, other than fighting we pretty much have a maid for everything." Kiruya walked beside Shaman, who was in a stretcher being taken to a dical room.
"Freja has given us all a specific job and has even awakened magic in us to do our jobs better, so do not worry if you have any troubles, as there will always be soone suited for that job." One of the maids had spoken up giving a small brief.
"So do you get paid or do you just live in the mansion?" Shaman was rather curious as it seed like they never left the mansion, let alone see them outside of their job as a maid.
"Freja pays us in…. Varying ways, but do not worry, we have rotation in shifts and have our personal lives, but we keep that very separate." The maid blushed as it was clear Freja had given so service of her own to the maids.
"Aha, I see." Shaman did not have any more questions and laid in silence.

In a room that looked like a nurses office, Shaman, Elysia and Silver laid in a bed while Clara sat in a chair.
Clara was quick to be healed as her injuries were minor, but everyone else needed a bit more care and mana to repair.
This ti the maids had changed into nurse clothes and sat by the beds, using healing spells.
'I swear all these uniforms are just for Freja's enjoynt.' Shaman looked at how lewd the uniforms were and she found it completely unnecessary.
Gritting her teeth through the pain, Shaman could feel how her ribs were being put back together. The spell had also given a soothing feeling, but it had not fully negated the pain, making it rather uncomfortable.
Elysia had a better ti as it was just the closing of the wound, but she had soon passed out, as the only thing keeping her awake was the pain. Silver, who was already asleep, did not feel anything and his leg was back to normal.
"Alright, you should be all healed up, so other maids will co in and take you to your rooms." The maid smiled and Shaman nodded.
'I should use my points before I forget.' Knowing she had gained quite a bit of levels, she did not want to forget to use them.
[Attributes]

Feeling the satisfying wave of powering up through her body, Shaman felt relaxed as any feeling of discomfort washed away.

Maids had co in and taken Shaman, Elysia and Silver to their rooms while Clara had gone with Kiruya.
"So you're coming with us, but Freja has an ulterior motive for this, doesn't she." Clara was just outside her room and had confronted Kiruya about her joining the mission.
"Well it's not really a secret, but yes, Freja wanted to keep an eye on you, but there really isn't much to it. My feelings are genuine and I am rather fond of you guys, but Freja is using this as a way to monitor everyone." Kiruya did not try to hide it as it wasn't sothing that secretive.
"Oh, well I wasn't expecting you to co clean like that." Clara expected Kiruya to co up with an excuse, but instead she just told her the truth.
"Don't worry, I won't be babysitting you. You still have to do the fighting and I will only help if there is any real danger." Kiruya, having a rather easy job this ti, saw this as a vacation as it was unlikely she would need to help.
"Thank you, I guess." Clara wasn't sure how to respond, as although it sounded like she was being lazy, Clara did prefer to do the fighting herself instead of relying on Kiruya.
"Aha don't worry about it, go get so rest and when you guys are ready to leave just call for ." Kiruya's tail wagged, showing her excitent for the mission.
"Sure thing, although I feel like I could go and do so training."
"No!" Kiruya wouldn't let Clara train, as although she may be fine, it was better she rested.
"Okay, okay, fine, I will go rest." Clara felt the sudden pressure from Kiruya showing a bit of her strength and Clara did not dare go against her.
"Good, see you later~." Kiruya went back to her cheery self and walked off while waving at Clara.
Clara waved back and then entered her room to get so rest.
