Ozma moved thru the Crimson lion base as he stretched a bit to loosen his muscles up as he got ready to see what needed to be done as he adjusted his mantle, before he could reach the main hall another lion approached him and he blinked.”Ozma we have some people in Hage asking for some help in rebuilding an important building in the town think you could help them out with the rebuilding I know you have been stuck with patrol duty for a while now this could be a good chance to get some fresh air” the elder knight suggested as the mute mage thought for a second before nodding and headed off to the broom storage area to grab a mode of transportation, as he got outside the paint mage felt a familier presence on his shoulder and he smiled slightly at the sight of his spirit partner Iris sitting on his shoulder like usual.”We got a job to do?” she asked with a small wave and a smile as the mute mage nodded.

' its not something super important but we are going to rebuild a place in Hage Village that took heavy damage its not glamorous but all magic knight jobs are important' he told her thru the link as he hopped on the took off towards the forsaken region with Iris secured to his shoulder so she didnt get knocked away,as they flew Ozma thought back to the encounter he had in the rouges refuge with his sister and the two unruly Jeagar men though he honestly thought one was better then the other. The red head Echo had made the mute noble want to stab him with his jian and leave him to bleed in the moonlight but that would have looked bad on his family not to mention his sister had a bond with the man for some unknown reasons. The paint mage however didnt trust the man as far as he could throw him and intended to try and keep a close eye on him. As they soared thru the skies of the common region Ozma gazed down at the green landscape before him and Iris spoke up again.”Amazing to see how much nature can show humans how small they are in the grand scheme of things” she commented as Ozma nodded. 'I agree we only spend a small time here but yet we can make such a difference' he told her as Hage came into view and he started his descent down towards the town.

Reaching the ground he jumped off the broom and caught it in his hands before he approached the towns folk near the building in question that needed repairs. As he got closer the group dealing with the planning spotted him and stood up a bit straighter at the presence of a magic knight but also seemed to look at him with some confusion as his build didnt suggest he was very strong despite it being quite the contrary. “excuse me young sir are you sure you will be able to handle doing the work needed to be done?” one of the men asked as Ozma pulled out his brush and flicked it into the air making paint form words in a vivid blue color.”I am more the capable of the tasks needing to be done despite how my frame may appear do not worry about me getting injured” he explained thru the words as the men blinked before the young mage would sigh and flick his brush again.”also I am mute so I use my brush or sign language to communicate” he added to the sentence before the paint faded away.

The men were quick to point the noble to some lumber that needed to be moved into key spots being being hammered in to repair some stabilization issues on the building and the noble blinked a bit before nodding and he quickly would grab two of them and lift them with ease despite them being very thick and not light in the slightest and started to haul them to the area needed for them to placed and started to fit them into the slots that would stabilize the building, the men looked in awe as the young man who looked lanky and thin was moving these wooden beams with such little effort. After a about an hour of moving the beams and getting them into the right spot the men gave Ozma his next task. He was to take a hammer and large pieces of metal and impale them into the walls to make sure the beams were secured and wouldn't be able to move again then they would be able to start putting more wood over the beams and make the building look much better then before.

Taking the tools Ozma quickly put the first metal bit in place near the middle of the beam and started to knock the pieces into the material around the wood beam and secured it. Ozma would keep do this twice more at the top and bottom of the beams to keep them extremely secure before moving onto the next tast. After a few hours and few more tasks Ozma was sweaty but he was proud as he and Iris looked at the building that was almost falling apart when he got there now was just about completed. The villagers appraoched him and started to thank him for the hard work he had put in today, Ozma quickly bowed respectfully before Iris spoke for him “it was nothing and he would like to let you know that should help be needed again to not hesitate to ask the Crimson Lions for help that is what we are here for after all” she said as the mute noble hopped back on his broom and headed back towards the Yuiee estate so he could shower and rest for the day hoping a long soak would rest his tired muscles after such hard labor.
