Master Of None

Walker sat there just staring at Scylla for a few moments. His mind had frozen and slowed after the shock of reading all of the system notifications and being pushed to the breaking points. "What? Did you melt that brain of yours when you were moving like a monster? I was very impressed with that sword style you were using. I can't say I enjoyed that trick with the mana though."

The elf enforcers that had run to look over Walker also nodded at Scylla's words. They understood that the strange phenomenon of the natural mana being dragged upwards was from him. They were very sensitive as elves to such mana and having it being forcefully pulled and taken was terrifying. Even those who manipulated it did not do so in such a violent manner.Â

Hearing and seeing the worry in the faces of those around him Walker finally mustered some words, "I am sorry for worrying you all. I didn't have my head about me as I went all out. It was like I was taken over by my instincts and just continued to push." He wasn't sure if any of them could understand what he was saying.Â

"That does tend to happen when one pushes themselves beyond their limits. I deal with it while training the young in the coliseum all the time. Especially those who hold the berserk skill." Scylla wanted to calm Walkers' uptown worries since she was seeing the stress start to form on his forehead.Â

"Things like that happen often?" Walker wasn't fully sure if Scylla was telling the truth but what she said next more than made him a believer.Â

"You should see an elephant trait of a tiger train demi-hum get angry. The berserk skill they use sacrifices their intelligence for doubling defense, health points, and attack. This naturally creates some trouble. I have had an entire training area of students defeated in a rage and had to step in to stop any unnecessary death." Scylla was shaking her head like it was something a bad pet would do if not properly trained.Â

The enforcers and Walker relaxed significantly as they heard this. The training area also started to become filled with the sounds of intense training yet again. Everyone else was still far from their limits and needed a lot more time to get to the end of what they could do.Â

"Now, tell us. What skills were you using?" Scylla looked like a hungry monster eyeing her prey as she asked Walker. It was eating away at her that she did not identify any of them after she had been in the coliseum and seen so many system users that could wield a sword.Â

"The sword skill was from the sword master system. It is called lightning sword play and it makes me use my sword much faster than I can normally. It gave me a fifteen point boost in agility." Scylla raised an eyebrow at this.Â

"A high class skill from a mastery system. I have many master swordsman in my kingdom but none who have that skill. I have seen beastly swordplay, serpentine swordplay, and even starlight swordplay but never lightning swordplay. I wonder if it depends on the users' stat layout of the user themselves," Scylla wanted more information but this was too hard for her to test. Someone with a master swordsman system was too rare anyways.

 The enforcers weren't sure if they had just heard Walker's word correctly, it was just too rare for a high class skill to show up and offer such benefits. Having any stat enhanced by ten points was already a huge benefit. Having a skill boosted by fifteen would mean a radical change in the way the battle flowed. It could be a life or death battle put in its' head.

"Sir hero, we have heard of many skills but will you allow us to take notes so that we may bring them to our archivists?" One enforcer was eager to save this information for future elven swordsmen. It was clear that this was a rare skill that they could one day hope to have within their own kingdom.Â

"Of course, just promise you won't tell Calen that I got a skill that boosts agility so much." Walker joked a little knowing that Calen would kill to have a skill that improved her agility anymore than she already had.Â

"Yes, of course sir hero. This will be strongly guarded against Calen." Walker heard the reply and realized that his joke had been taken seriously by every enforcer that had come to check on him and use their skills.

Scylla was thinking more and more about what she had seen and still could not come to a conclusion on what the skill Walker had used to slash at the strange angles all around his body was. "I Can not discern how lightning swordplay skill can attack all around you. It was like you knew every place an attack was coming from."Â

"That's because the lightning swordplay didn't, well, technically it didn't. The lightning sword play let me react fast enough but the skill is called blade zone. It came from a system called the battle planet system. I have no idea what a battle planet is but it could mean anything. There is a dimension traveler system so I'm afraid to try and look in to such things'¦"Â

Scylla appeared very understanding of this. "I am not religious and I am not a philosophical person. I agree that there are things we are better not to understand and just accept as they are." The elf enforcers did not seem to agree but even they were lost on such systems and what they may mean. Scylla was still looking at Walker waiting to hear the rest of the skills' explanation. She would not let him off so easily.Â
