Master Of None

"Hm, Barry seems to be recovering well." Mordant was too casual. Barry had clearly just yelled at Rise for disturbing the mana without even looking their way.

This had only gone to push Rise even further in to anger. Her face showed a twisted rage that only came when someone completely disregarded her. That would have been the same for any dragon. Before Walker could even say a word, Ignus had stepped forward first.

"You don't like the mana becoming chaotic during training? Do you think that all the warriors here will always have the perfect conditions? Do you not see that as royal dragons we are encouraging the dragonkin under our care to learn from a new situation?" The few words were enough to draw all attention.

"Ignus. You did this? You are the one that said you wanted your warriors to go through the same training I used to put myself through. Now you are interfering?" Barry went right up to Ignus.

"If you are well enough to stand up to me. Then you are well enough to battle yourself. Is that not right?" The smile that bloomed on Ignus's face was one that came with a great heat. The fire elemental mana that started to become drawn to Ignus raised the temperature in the training field. Many tried to back off but were met with glares from Ignus and Barry.

Seeing that another royal dragon had directly been disrespected went even further to make Rise become angrier. She was right on the edge of stepping out herself before Ignus had reached over toward the nearby dragonkin.

The earth affinity dragonkin handed over his sword without even flinching. He had seen what was going on so had to just accept that the training was changing. There was also an excitement that was growing in the group.

"Walker, did you come to train as well? I have been here for a short while already." Su had noticed and come over. She had the light elemental draconic guardian with her who was avoiding eye contact with Rise.

"We did come to see the progress. I see you managed to get the other dragonkin guardians here as well. I wondered hope long it would take for you to get them training. I assume Midnight has gotten the champions together by now?" This was said more for Rise than anyone else.

"Yes! They are trying to work on their flame breath attacks. Midnight was able to convince them to dot hat right outside the city. Midnight was having trouble trying to make sense of how to improve the attacks so as soon as she started working on it the other champions were joining in. they might have caused some damage to the city if they did not go outside." Su seemed a little worried still but Walker had not heard of any issues as of yet.

"We will have to go and see that next. For now it looks like Ignus is going to take a more hands on approach to training. Barry managed to beast most of his and Terron's dragonkin so it was enough to start a little rivalry." Once Walker had said this it completely distracted Rise. her anger had been put on hold.

"That is the human that broke in to Terron and Ignus's village? It is still alive?" Her complete awe at the situation was enough to show that she believed this was not truly possible.

"Barry is the strongest adventurer in the guild as far as I know. He has some interesting skills that have put him on the front line of any physical confrontation. He also was able to prevent multiple monster hoards from attacking the human kingdom." Spinning Barry's praises did not appear to be what Rise wanted to hear.

"You have to understand that this human in front of us represents a very small group of humans that might actually be able to fight a dragon face to face. I can't say that he would win but he has earned enough respect to live. His attitude is tolerated by Terron and Ignus because he was able to eradicate many of the rogue dragons alone. He also volunteered his experience in training." Mordant pointed out a few of the dragonkin training nearby.

"As you can see, he has been fighting so often in his life that he had been able to refine multiple battle techniques that perfectly fit with any physical battle. Where he lacks in magic he has made up in physique. That caused him to jump ahead of most that were in his own kingdom. That is why he is trying some of my dragonkin that are not known for their physical strength."

"I still lack an answer as to why my guardian is here and not with-"

"Your guardian was invited personally by me to train. I am the guardian for Midnight, Walker's champion. I needed the help of other guardians to grow stronger. That was why we trusted in the champions to work together to train and guard one another. Now one else is strong enough to go near them when they are together. Only the royal dragons boast such strength." Su caught on to the situation and attempted to remedy it.

"And?" Rise looked at her dragonkin guardian seriously. She watched as the guardian's eyes shifted with some worry.

"My lord, I wish to become a better guardian and this is the way to do so. I can not defend well against the darkness elemental mana used by mages of the elven race as well as others can. My affinity prevents me from doing so. I was able to learn that my attacks can be modified to defend better. That my taunting tactics can be enhanced. I have been missing important battle experience for too long and it could lead to the defeat of my honorable champion. It could lead to dishonoring the light dragon's strength. I can not accept that possibility."

Having heard this, Rise clenched her fist with audible scraping. Her scales on her hands were still as tough as they could be as in dragon form. However, she hated hearing that any warrior under her might be weak. "I expect you to show me a radical change that makes your actions here worth it. If you and your champion can not demonstrate a visible and exceedingly perfect change will let you leave from my village. You will be hunted throughout the world. Is that understood?"

"My lord, I would have it no other way. I was born to protect and will ensure I do so properly." The dragonkin guardian shivered slightly as Rise looked at him.

"That sounds like it will be very good for you. After the training, many of the dragonkin will be able to leave the village at your order. You can combine your forces better with other dragonkin forces. That should make defeating wyverns easier." Walker had waited for the right time to interject with this.

He knew that all the dragons had the wyvern issue on their minds. They had spoken about it and been able to bring some evidence to light about them. Now that there were more theories about where they were coming from and how the wyverns might be used in another way, the dragons had been put even more on edge.

"Filthy things that pretend at being dragons do not belong to this world. They will be eradicated like the scum they are. I will personally purify the lands of enemies such as them." Rise seemed to hate the wyverns more than Walker expected. He had the inkling that it was the weak dragon bloodline that they had. It was an insult to dragons which believed in their elemental strength over others.

"Should we stop Ignus and Barry?" Su seemed to bring them all back to reality. They had become very distracted.

"I think they are setting a good example. Barry might not be fully healed but he is able to stretch a little right? The heat should be stopping him but this shows off how someone is able to handle and counter a tough mage or elemental fighter." Walker saw some adventurers looking at the dragonkin close to Ignus. They were clearly jealous of how they were easily resistant to the heat along with Barry.

"I find it more impressive that they are both fighting with an ax and a sword. The sword has not broken and the ax has not been thrown from Barry's hand. They might be holding back. However, they are showing battle instinct to all that are watching. Some have already started to copy their movements. Those young adventurers there." Mordant pointed out some brand new adventurers already learning from the battle before them.
