(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 112

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.

"Sure, why the hell not. You’re paying though." He warned and Kellen laughed, holding the door open for him as they left the room.

"Of course, your highness. I must pay for recruiting you, right?" His eyes danced when he looked over at Kellen.

"Of good, you understand why."

They were finally able to chat as they headed down to the cafeteria and stopped into the coffee shop. Kellen felt a part of himself relax that he hadn’t known he was tense about. Even as he felt others stare at him, he felt his shoulder drop in relaxation. He joked around with Brent as the two of them waited for their drinks, even as the gazes were even more prominent now, and finally, a soft looking young lady approached them.

"Um, excuse me, are you two celebrities?" Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and Kellen glanced behind her to find she had two friends hyping her up. The three of them were wearing visitor badges. Brent bent down, putting his face closer to hers.

"And why is a cutie like you curious?" Her face exploded in colour.

"Oh, um, you two are just so handsome and eye-catching that I wanted to ask." Kellen laughed, before turning a smile in her direction.

"No, I wouldn’t say that we are, but we might be a little famous." Brent glanced at him, before winking at her.

"He’s a preeeeetty big deal. Don’t let how humble he is deceive you. We’re Field Guides." He told her and her eyes widened.
