Master Of None

"Walker, I think your joke worked. They appear to be much happier now." Su whispered in Walker's ear. He was just thankful that it had come off as a joke and that was what everyone thought.Â

"I think you are funnier than I was lead to believe. I hope that you are still able to be serious in the heat of battle." Scylla was still having a hard time preventing herself from laughing.

"He was very serious. You should have seen the earth tower he made to protect us. It was not the strongest earth magic I have ever seen but it was formidable.

 to be able to create it in such a short time. I believe he could easily turn the tide of a battle with such speed and ingenuity."Â

Trish and Scylla had found some common ground and it appeared that their spat from a moment ago was over.Â

"I wonder if the two of them actually didn't like each other or they were just testing their wills?" Gil had a feeling that the pair had been seeing what the other was like before they trusted them to speak.Â

"Welcome to the outskirts of my home. My name is Wade and I would be honored to escort the Ordist ambassador general Scylla to our queen for an audience." Wade saw that this was one of the duties he would need to take on since Sierra was already assigned to the heroes.Â

"Well, it is nice to meet you, Wade. I would like to walk with the heroes back to the city. Is that agreeable?" Scylla was too interested in the party to just up and walk away at that moment.

"Of course, we are heading the same direction. It is only proper for us to travel together." Wade was still very polite making the other enforcers stand taller.Â

"And as you know I am the master alchemist and an elder of the elves. I was here to finish a very important potion and to guide the path of a young alchemist." Trish surprised Scylla by saying that Remey was an alchemist.Â

Of course, Scylla had heard what Remey had said about the alchemical brawler field guide but she believed that Remey was just writing things down in a physical book. "You're an alchemist?"Â

"Umm, I'm an alchemical brawler. It's a unique system'¦"Remey wasn't sure what Scylla's response would be to this. She knew that the elves were much more used to hearing about the system upgrades through unique quests and circumstances, but had no idea about what the demi-human perspective would be.

"Unique system you say? Then it is similar to a demi-human who gains the traits of an extinct monster or animal. Or even when they gain the traits of a monster or animal that has yet to be discovered." Scylla easily made the comparison.Â

"That actually sounds pretty interesting. Is that common in your kingdom nowadays?' This attracted Trisah's attention along with every elf around them. Their curiosity for how they kept track of these new or unique systems.Â

"Yes, it happens every few years. Sometimes there will be one like me that makes it to the kingdom and has the same system as an ancient monster or there will be a large number of children born who all have the same system with the same animal traits. Those who have the one and only traits and system are the wild cards. Most systems in the kingdom have similar traits of rankings for the most part, but those who are unknown can use their skills to catch others off guard. That's what I was able to rise in the colosseum so well." Scylla was sharing more than anyone expected.

"So that's why I was able to do better. I can sup[rise them with skills they didn't know I had. Maybe I should go back when things calm down." Walker was more thinking out loud but when Scylla heard this she became much more excited.Â

"Yes, you should come and visit again. When the trade routes start having the heroes to walk them once or twice would make them much safer and accepted by the people." This idea wasn't bad but would be a long way out from where the kingdoms were now.Â

"So, now that we are all up and you know standing around...can we go and get some food?' Remey had unexpectedly chimed in surprising everyone.Â

Midnight jumped up hearing that they were going to get food. "Yes, we can go get food." Walker patted Midnight on the head while looking at Remey. "Are you really feeling alright?" He wanted to make one last check before they were on the move back to the elf city.

"I am fine. You're as bad a Su and Gil. They have both been looking at me like I was damaged goods since I stood up." Remey showed some of her feisty attitude making them all relax. "I just feel really hungry all of the sudden."

"That would be the side effect of the mana fruit. It changed your body to be able to produce and hold more mana than it could before. Now it needs more nutrition to recover what it used." Trish already had the answer ready.Â

"So you're saying that Remey might give Midnight a run for her money at breakfast today?" Gil immediately made the joke that got Midnight al;l riled up.Â

"Oh, we'll see who gives who a RUN for their money." Remey cracked her knuckles showing that she was fully back to her usual self and gave chase after Gil who was already sure she would hit him.

"Yeah, I would say Remey is fine. Let's walk and talk our way back to the city. I think everyone will need a good meal and rest." Walker started off towards the directions they had come in.Â
