Harvest hops off once they reach land, with Roshi stepping off of Turtle behind him. There's a huge set of fields wide open before them all. "Now for the next stage..."

Wait a second... Roshi grumbles, and realizes that all the fields are already plowed because of a previous student! Harvest wonders what's wrong...

Harvest asks... "Roshi, what's wrong?" "AWW DANGIT! C'mon kid, we've got some walking to do..."

And so, Roshi lead Harvest along the island in search of a different field to plow... Harvest still doesn't know what's going on at all, but he follows.

Harvest would ask as they walked... "Master Roshi, what's the training this time?" Roshi answers... "You need to plow whole fields with your bare hands!"

Harvest looks at his hands, and shrugs... "Okay. Sounds good." Roshi continues to walk, until they finally find an unplowed expanse of fields.

Roshi stops, and points his cane out to the unploughed fields, saying... "Well, you know what to do... get to it, kid!" Harvest nods, and steps up to the fields.

Harvest would get down and start tearing up the soil with his hands, digging away like a maniac the whole day long until all the fields were ploughed up.

Returning to Roshi, Harvest asks what the next spot will be... Roshi takes him back to Turtle and takes him over to the final island, with Harvest on his head as usual.

Issilude rode the nimbus to the island and landed, once more sending the yellow cloud off. So I have to help the people farm, huh? Doesn't sound that hard.

Issilude walked towards a small house next to a very large, open, hilly area. This must be it. I don't sense anyone else on the island. He knocked and waited for someone to answer.

A middle-aged, red skinned man wearing jeans with suspenders opened the door. "You the one Roshi called about?" Issilude nodded. "Well, take off your gloves, leave you staff, and get to work."

"Get to work doing WHAT exactly, sir?" Issilude asked as he removed his gloves.
"Plowing the fields, what else?"

Issilude rests the gloves and his staff next to the door and starts to take off his robe. "Okay, and how far do your fields go?"
"All the land on this island that isn't sandy, rocky, or flooded."

"ALL OF IT!?" Issilude stopped, robe hanging off one arm, and stared at the farmer. He had seen the island, and while it might not have been big exactly, it certainly wasn't small. "And I have to plow it all BY MYSELF!?"

"That's right, kid. Every last inch, no tools, no gloves, no breaks." Issilude sulked as the farmer listed what wasn't allowed. "Hey, I don't make the rules. If you want to blame someone, blame Roshi."
No, I'm blaming Korin. Darn cat's the one who sent me here.

Issilude finished taking off his robe and left it, his hat, his gloves, and his staff in a small pile just inside the farmer's home. "I guess I'd better get this over with now." He said as he walked outside and started digging.

Issilude dug for several hours, eventually forming sending one of his dragons to get him a drink. Who knew that spell could have so many uses? He thought as he continued working.

The sun had started to set by the time Issilude was done. He had cheated a bit at the end and used his dragons to help finish things off, but it was still technically him doing the work. He checked back in with the farmer to get his things before calling his nimbus to leave.

Freiz crawls out of the water ahead of Rosh iand Turtle this time, literally collapsing on the beach. "No...more...swimming..." he groans.
Roshi hops off Turtle and shakes his head. "Alright, alright, take a breather. You earned it."

Freiz managed a thanks, before his head hit the damp sand with a soft thump and his eyes closed. And within moments, he was dead asleep.

When Freiz awoke again, he was staring up at...a cieling? Wha? Sitting up, he looked around and caught sight of Roshi. "Alright, Roshi, i'm ready to continue my training!" he said brightly, despite having just woken up.

Following Roshi outside, Freiz was introduced to a farmer. "Freiz, your task this time...is to plow these fields."
"That doesn't sound too hard," Freiz says.
"With your bare hands," the farmer adds.

"Eh.... Hmm..." Freiz paused at that for a long time, looking at the fields. "...fuck..."
"Just get on it, you'll be done before you know it!" Roshi said brightly.

"Man..." Freiz said, quite grumpy about this now that he knew his task. But, he shut his mouth from then on and got to work with all the expedience he could.

Freiz made his way to the field, and cracked his knuckles before crouching down, his fingers touching the ground. Taking a deep breath, he mentally said, "Ready......."

"GO!" Freiz started digging at the ground, tearing out a row in the dirt as he scrambled forward somewhat awkwardly, but making decent progress nonetheless.

Freiz's fingers were soon quite numb and in large amounts of pain, but he pushed that aside as he continued to dig through the field. "This sure is arduous...but I can tell it's worth it. I think..."

"Hmhmhmhmhm..." Freiz had started humming to himself as he dug the field up, to try and take his mind off how much he still had to do, and how much his hands were beinning to hurt.

Soon, though, Freiz's mind begins to lose focus of everything, and to him it just becomes one long digging session...to which he can see no end. It's Korin's tower all over again!
