Master Of None

Chapter 287 - 287. Introducing...

The time passed much faster than anyone else expected. The mastery skill, domain of starlight healing, had tripled the healing and mana regeneration of everyone within the star's light. It had brought pure joy to the hearts of those who had witnessed it completely changing how they all felt in that moment. As the light faded and the cathedral returned to the normal state the entire place was still silent. The injured had recovered and the seriously injured were fast asleep without a single blemish on them. 

Many had started to cry and could not hold their emotions back. They had seen a wondrous skill that filled their very souls to the brim. To speak now would be to end this purity and happy moments. There were many silently hugging while the healers gave final checks with the nuns. 

Many checked up on the high priest but did not go to wake him after they noticed that Alice was guarding him and Walker. Su eventually made her way back to Alice and Walker having seen the high priest's skill. She had helped and now was able to stop since she had no skills to examine anyone properly. 

With the children calmed and very orderly the parents had taken over letting Midnight go to lay down and join them resting. Her soreness and any tiredness was healed with the high priests skills as well. Walker was in the same condition as he rapidly regenerated mana. He was groggy but awoke fairly fast.

The revitalized feeling in his body was not surprising to him after experiencing the high priests mastery skill. He felt that he was leaning on something and looked up to find that Alice was hiding his head in her lap looking a little worried. "And here I thought I had fallen asleep on a cloud." The line was sweeter than honey and made Alice feel like she had just swallowed a spoonful of sugar. But nonetheless she loved it. 

She squeezed his cheeks happy that he had woken up quickly. Walker wanted to lay there forever but knew that it was best to get up and check on the others, "Sorry, that was a line I heard from a minstrel passing through when I was little. I thought of it the second I saw your face." He was red faced having said something so embarrassing. But he did not regret it at all. 

He stood and looked around. "Su I trust you can make sure Alice stays here resting while I go find a unique little girl whose parents should get a warning about the system she just unlocked." Alice and Su looked curious but didn't respond, wanting to stay and rest there in case the high priest woke up. 

Walker could feel a shifting on his shoulders as Onyx came out of his tattoo form. "Oh you slept through all the action." Walker was actually sad that Onyx had missed the mastery skill. 

"Brother I was able to feel it in my sleep. It took me a long time to absorb that pure light, I am full of energy and think I will have a growth spurt soon.'' This was good news since it would make onyx better in combat. But the thought of Onyx being too large to stay on his shoulders was a little disappointing. "I will go and find sister to tell her too." Onyx slithered off of his shoulder wanting to stretch a little from his long sleep. 

Walker moved through the people who had started to gain energy and want to move about. His search for the two parents and the little girl revealed a heart warming sight. The two parents were sitting up with their daughter clasped in their arms. They were all teary eyed but smiling broadly. Walker held back waiting for them to calm down. The little girl in their arms was overjoyed having all of her worry melt away in her parents arms. 

It took some time but Walker finally saw that they were getting adjusted to being healed and recovered from their sudden emotions. He almost felt bad going over to cause another stir by bringing up their daughter's new system. 

"Well I can see that your parents look rather healthy. Have you told them about your news?" The little girl heard him and ran ,grabbing on to his leg. 

She was tugging Walker over to her parents who were lost to who this boy was. Mommy daddy, this is miss dragon's older brother." Walker couldn't help just smile at this introduction. Of all the things to be introduced as it was miss dragon's older brother. Although this was true it was of no use to the parents who had yet to meet Midnight. 

"Ha ha, what she means is that I am Walker and my little sister is Midnight, that little dragon over there. She was lucky enough to meet this little stormy friend here." Walker dropped a little hint causing a glint to appear in the little girl's eyes. 

Both parents seemed to have a little more clarity as the remembered the rumors about the Omnipotent party made up of hero title holders and even a hero titled dragon. "We are very glad to hear that our daughter has been behaving while we were resting." The father chimed in taking the lead and extending a hand to Walker. 

"Oh she has been more than behaving. She has been very very good and has been very patient to tell you all her news." Walker gave the little girl a poke to the cheek causing her to giggle. "Do you want to show them with my help or just tell them?' He knew what her answer would be but he didn't want to push it on her. 

"Show! Show!" She couldn't even form a sentence and jumped with her sheets. 

"Alright then hold out your hands and I will keep it small." The parents saw that their daughter was cupping her hands and looking much more serious. Her little eyebrows scrunched up and her jaw tightened. Walker placed his hands under hers as she started to show her newly acquired system.

The small grey tornado started to swirl slowly but surely. The parent's jaws dropped the instant it appeared. Walker was manipulating the mana in the air around it to force it to stay small but was only able to do this due to his higher magical attack stats. He knew that if he was lower leveled and lacked the points in the stat he would have been knocked aside and the spell would have grown to it's full size. 

The little girl was focusing much harder this time since she wanted to properly show her parents the things she could do. "Now remember how to make it stop spinning like before. Just slow the spinning until it pops in to nothing." Walker guided her through it as she stopped the little tornado again leaving droplets of water on her hand from the grey cloudy wind. 

"See I have my system now. I am a storm wielder!" She rushed and jumped in to her father's arms without a single bit of hesitation. Her goggling was infectious to everyone who passed by the four of them. 

"As you can tell she was pretty lucky to unlock a good system like that. I just showed her a little bit of wind magic and the next thing I know she is telling me she has unlocked her system." Walker let them know the circumstances since the little girl was too excited to speak properly. "This little storm wielder got a unique system for sure, but a dangerous one for sure. I thought it best if I made a pass back to you with some ideas for what she could do with it." 

"Sir hero, we are very grateful for you to take interest but we are only a family of carpenters. I can't ask you to do anything more than you already have." The father gestured to himself and his wife who were obviously hard workers. The calluses were very well developed on their hands from years of wood carving. The muscles on their body stood out from heavier lifting, it was plain to see their hard work.

"First off, let's drop the sir...sounds weird. Also just call me Walker, we lived in the same tier until a few months ago anyways." The parents relaxed a bit, finding that Walker was not a vicious noble after more power but instead a commoner like them. "Second I-" Walker was cut off by a system notification. 

'Daily heroic quest: guide the young.

Requirement: 

Give the young storm wielder a path to follow that is supported by her family and by the storm wielder herself. 

Reward:

1 heroic quest point

The daily quests were still working and they had changed to daily heroic quests! Walker was ecstatic and almost lost himself in thoughts in the middle of his conversation. "Erm sorry about that I had a system notification. Anyways I would be happy to offer some ideas on what your daughter could pursue. I believe she will need some guidance to learn her magic."
