A sudden idea sparked in Dan's mind. Hunting could provide the perfect opportunity to gain the experience points he required Dan made his way to Gabriel's room, intending to propose the idea of a hunt.
Upon reaching the room, he knocked lightly before being greeted by a voice inviting him in. Dan entered and took a seat across from Gabriel's desk, and started to talk.

Gabriel looked at Dan and and said. "Well, it's not the usual season for hunting, but I agree it could be a valuable training opportunity for the soldiers. I'll instruct the head butler to inform the soldiers about the hunting trip tomorrow. And of course, I'll join as well. It's been a long time since I've gone hunting."
