Master Of None

”Now that everyone understands, let’s get to training.” Walker jumped up and so did the fire dolls. They were all fighting each other and that meant that everyone around them was a target. 

Walker was the first one to make a move and naturally, was the first one to attack. He started off with a large swipe of his hand to make a large gust of wind to push all of the elite trainee enforcers off their feet. He wanted them to start at a disadvantage against each other and the flame dolls. His thinking was that they could learn to adapt to tougher positions and make better breakthroughs. 

Walker did not expect all of them to roll with the wind and return to their feet. They had been trained already to the point where they could adapt to the high winds at the treetops when necessary. This was a training that not every elf would receive but was thought of as a requirement for those that would be the queens’ hands.

Walker had already pulled his hammer out of his inventory and charged it with the wind elemental mana in the air as well. He thought that even when he missed the elves he could use the wind made to continue to throw them off. 

With his hammer coming down on one of the platforms he realized that he had used more force than necessary. The platform itself broke away and forced him to retreat. The wind produced from the elemental smash caused shrapnel of wood bits to fly around and impact against the elves. The flame dolls were unaffected and even used it as fuel. 

He was not thrown off however, he saw an incoming elf with a dagger and quickly switched the hammer for one of the swords in his inventory. His other hand came out with the short hammer and used the chop skill. 

This combination of a sword to block and a hammer with an ax head to chop was not a common style for any race. It was enough to greatly throw off the elf who was grazed by the blade of Walker’s weapon. This was not the end though, Walker switched the short hammer for the other sword and unleashed the cross slash at the elf. In second the elf looked like he had lost the battle completely. ”Heal yourself and start again before I get back here.” 

Walker left the elf with the dagger injured and with the harsh words. He Had already grasped the fact that these elite enforcer trainees had endured much harsher training. The thing they lacked was battling against the unexp[ected. Luckily for them, Walker was full of unexpected weapons and skills. He could continue to surprise them over and over until they were fully adaptive. 

While Walker aimed at an elf that was conjuring spears of wood from the vines around him a flame doll had already reached the elf mage. This was the fire doll modeled after a large and familiar looking rabbit trait demi-human. The overwhelming physical might was more than enough to counter the elf mage as they made their wood spears to throw. 

Walker was able to jump in and unleash a gust of wind that pushed the flame doll back. ”You are helping to feed their flames. Change your strategy or next time I will slash your back.” The elf did exactly as he was told and started to make intertwined vines with ice wrapping around them. Walker realized that this was some form of water and earth elemental affinity. 

The elf was angry due his obvious weakness and lack of adaptation and threw the spear toward the flame doll. Unfortunately, it was met with a sharp kick snapping it in half. The frozen vine spear did not stop though. It continued to fall causing a loud shout from below. ”I guess you are adding to the others’ training.” Walker laughed and started to look for another that was struggling or not adapting. He had a clear idea that the mage before was a forest mage or similar system user.

Before he could even take another step among the vines he realized that the area he was in had gotten much darker. He could feel a strong amount of darkness elemental mana behind him and turned just in time to block with his two swords. There was another one of the elite enforcer trainee elves wielding daggers. The difference this time was that they were using the shadows to hide themselves. 

”That was a perfect attack, but you did not conceal your darkness elemental mana and gave yourself away.” Walker said this as he pushed the elf back and pulled out the scythe he had not used in some time. The longer range of the scythe gave him the ability to keep the elf at bay since the elf wouldn’t have the range to get closer to him. 

Unfortunately, Walker didn’t expect the elf to know the dagger throw skill and there was already a dagger flying towards his head. Thanks to the instinctual actions of dance of the wild rabbit Walker was able to duck and jump. The spin he did looked like a dancer’s jump and the downward slash of the scythe made it seem like he had completely expected the attack. 

The elf did noit prepare for this since they were used to their first attacks always working. If their first did not they finished their matches with the second. Their master had always told them to thin k of the third, fourth, and even tenth move. He was not learning why.

Walker’s attack came down on the frantic to dodge elf. There was a hard impact and one of the elves’ daggers was shattered in two. Walker’s scythe also broke and not had a massive dent in the blade. However, this did not stop Walker’s advance.
