A Chance At Success.

"Look at the ground?" Nicole repeated in confusion and many did indeed look down while the others wondered if this handsome blue-eyed guy did not have a screw loose.

Hal was undisturbed, 

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this not supposed to be a treasure trove of cultivation resources?" He asked.

The one to speak was Vanya in what was her first-ever vocal expression in Hal's presence, 

"Well, it is. I mean we are literally trampling what many Alchemists such as myself would kill to gather" she said.

"So why don't you gather it?" Hal asked with a shrug as it seemed like she was making a point to mention the trampling of these precious resources.

Vanya rolled her eyes, 

"Oh, I don't know, Hal. Maybe because since I entered this stupid garden, I've been running and fighting for my life. You know, this is why I never actually came in here. I was much better off paying some guy to get it for me" she said with a hint of annoyance.
