Master Of None

Chapter 509 - 509. Perfect Pair

Monty did not want to focus himself on watching Walker since he wanted to see staff skills, yet when he looked at Scylla he knew that there was no choice. He was going to learn from what he saw or he would be pushed in to an extreme training regiment. He also saw that his rival sitting next to him was already processing the stance and the possibility of taking knowledge from a high tier skill. 

Walker was readying himself and had begun to talk himself through his movements. He may have been too far for anyone to hear him but that was the very reason he did it. He wanted to understand his motions and his changes so that he could apply any of them better. To do this he spoke out loud, thought on it, and acted on it. These three things would make him forever remember it in his muscle memory. All that would be left was later repetition. 

"With an incoming attack, I saw that elf push the sword to the side so that the attacking blade also went to the side. Then the other sword needed to come down and slash." Walker stepped in to the incoming horn of light using the sword to try and push it away. However, he was not used to this motion and was pushed to the side himself. He had avoided the attack but instead left himself open for the second. 

"Then that elf also crossed them both and pushed up to force the blade out of his enemy's hands. Will that even work?" Walker questioned his own theories and gave it a try. 

When the unicorns' changed horn skill came close he lowered himself and crossed the swords. He pushed up catching the horn and successfully forced the young unicorn up and to the side. He had perfectly blocked and pushed. 

"And now I counter!" Walker did not let the chance escape him. He slashed out with one sword then turned and did the same with the other while following some steps from the dance of the wild rabbit. 

In doing this he felt that the lightning swordplay skill and dance of the wild rabbit were very compatible. His face lit up due to this feeling and he started to push in. The slashes were strong but easily avoidable by the young unicorns with their naturally high agility. Many monsters in the fields needed to rely on speed to properly survive. 

Walker patted himself on the back for the things he had managed to witness from the squad that Su had trained. If he had not seen them then he would not be able to copy and attempt to learn another strategy like this. 

Feeling that he was able to grasp these moves and train them to the point that he may develop a skill Walker pushed more. His speed had begun to show as he had increased his agility and also used the lightning swordplay to its' full potential. 

The unicorns charged at him over and over but were continuously met with different blocks and deflection styles. They tried their hardest to break through Walker's attempted attacks only to narrowly avoid them and not even touch him. This brought about an energetic frustration from the two young unicorns. They were too young to realize that they were going against a more powerful opponent and instead attacked without holding anything back. 

The charged horns gained the shape of a pure white horn made of light. Walker could sense the elemental light mana within it had condensed. That wasn't the full skills then? Bring it on." Walker was glad to see the two unicorns taking their training so seriously. It had long surpassed a simple game and was now a full on sparring match. There was no way they could all hold back. 

The first unicorn charged at full speed making Walker dance to his heart beat using the dance of the wild rabbit skill. Before he had even stepped again the second unicorn had forced him to move in to the dance of the rabid rabbit. 

The adult unicorns shifted nervously watching this. They knew that the game had surpassed what was supposed to happen but seeing that their guardian was not stopping them decided to trust in his actions. 

The danger had increased and small sparks of lightning started to come off of Walker's twin blitz swords as he moved about. This was the full use of the lightning swordplay that he had learned. However, there was a nagging feeling that he was only scratching the surface of what was meant to be there. It was like ha had learned step five before he had even learned step one. His body was telling him that there was a certain thing missing. 

Walker let his senses reach out and found the fire, water, and wind elemental mana to be in turbulence around him. This simple fact alone brought him back to the accidental fusion of elements to make a lighting bolt that he had been unable to control many weeks ago. 

There was also the tri tailed moth that had also used the three elements to develop some lighting attacks that made it a huge nuisance to deal with. It was almost like he had returned to both of those times. 

"Then let me try something new!" He started to control the elemental mana around him to move toward the swords. The small sparks that had been caused due to his high movement began to take on a different shape. 

His audience saw the sparks becoming more and more frequent until they were small arcs of lighting itself. The elemental mana in the air became charged as well. If Walker hadn't kept a strict control of this using his own mana he would be affected and most likely injured. But this skill that was forming was a perfect pair with the lightning swordplay.
