Master Of None

Chapter 104 - 104. Training

Like usually the morning was there faster than they wanted. But with it there was also the system prompting their wake up.

' Daily quest:

train skills for three hours

Reward:

50exp'

Walker thought to himself the daily quest seemed pretty easy. He had planned to train himself anyways. He wanted to try to unlock spiritual sense so he could understand healing better. He might even gain other things from it, a better understanding of those around him would be a major boost any way he saw it.

After gearing up he headed to the training grounds behind the mansion only to find Remey beating up on a poor wooden dummy. "I should have known you'd beat me out here." The treating was enough to get a glance from Remey. She kept punching and looked drenched in sweat. She had been out for longer than walker expected.

Walker was grateful seeing that Remey had cleared a large amount of the main training area of the thin layer of snow that had fallen. Walker thought to himself he would need to return the favor by doing so next time. Maybe he should use fire magic or water manipulation to move it, he laughs inwardly at this.

Remey had wanted to test her new passive skill but lacked a way to use magic. She had been working on combinations of punches and even adding some kicks in while she waited for Walker. "That white flame of yours can't harm things that aren't undead or evil right? Use it in me, my mana is low and I want to see if it recovers." Walker knew Remey would want to test her new skill but it was a pretty smart idea to use a spell that technically couldn't hurt her. The heat would still be unbearable but it wouldn't really harm her.

Walker pulled his staff from his inventory "evil consuming flame!" He aimed and fired a white fireball at her. The flames encompass Remey and she let out a grunt as she felt the strong heat. They quickly dissipated as if they were being smothered. Her face was still struggling with the heat but strangely walker saw a small blue glow on her entire body, this must be the skill absorbing some mana. He waited politely to see if she had indeed recovered mana.

"Hhhisssss holy lord that's hot...haaa...but it worked I gained four mana from that. I'm not sure it will be worth it. I'm sure wearing my new pendant the effects would be different but I want to get stronger without gear first." It was rightfully so that she had trouble talking at first, walker knew just how hot those flames felt. It was rather interesting the amount of mana she took from the spell though. It seemed to take a toll on the body but would the mana absorbed become larger if it was a stronger spell? This was a question they could test but it would also harm Remey and walker did not want to do so.

Remey also seemed to realize this "I don't think I can test my new skill as much as I thought. I'll just let it come naturally." This was a wise choice, Remey had great battle instincts and this moment proved it. No point in fighting a pointless battle.

Walker decided that since Remey looked like she would rest and take a chance to observe Walker he would start practicing as well. He wanted to see just how his senses had changed and to what degree. He shifted through his skills looking to see if he could utilize any to assist in this...

Elemental manipulation?

When did I get this? Wait where is my earth manipulation? Wait! Where are the other elements? Walker had finally noticed his skills had fused in to elemental manipulation. It only took over a day for him to pay enough attention. To be fair he was distracted with his new little brother onyx and the excitement of his first auction. However now that he did see this he had a lot of work to do.

Walker wasn't sure exactly if this skill would work the same as his previous ones. They ha familiar descriptions from what he could remember. Well he had full mana and decided it was worth a try. "Earth manipulation, wall!" He pushed five mana in to the earth and thought about a wall rising in front of him.

"Hoooooollllyyy youuu you just!!..." Remey was shocked by a sudden rumbling as the ground converged in to a thick wall in front of walker and her. "You have earth magic now! When?!" She was actually a bit angry Walker hadn't told anyone about his breakthrough. He could now block attacks from a distance which could save Remey if she ever was too far from Su. It was a great back up plan.

"Don't be too excited that cost five whole mana to cast." A devilish smirk crossed walkers face, "want to test its strength?" He knew tempting Remey in this was was dangerous but by doing so she could show him just how dependable the ability to create walls of earth would be.

There was no way she could turn this down. She had enough mana to throw a solid punch before returning to rest. "Bring it on magic boy!" She couldn't help but taunt as she wound up he arm. She stomped down her leg letting an intense force flow from her fist. Her defense shattering fist hit the wall with force enough to displace the very air around them. It seemed that no damage had been done at first but..."ccccrackkkk!" A lid crack resounded around the training ground as a small crater in the wall appeared. Cracks spiderwebbed from its causing chunks of the wall to crumble. Only Hal's of what was there remained now.

"Wow" walker could only utter this one word. He wildly underestimated her punches. Walker reminded himself that getting in to a fist fight with Remey would be a terrible blunder.
