Master Of None

Gil released the arrow after giving it some of his mana. Unlike the other arrows, when Gil added his mana to it there was a sudden pulling of light element around them. It wasn’t powerful but it was a much different sensation. Everyone could tell that the arrow was much different than any they had used before. 

As the arrow traveled through the air it was clear that it was gaining more and more of the light elemental mana. The shape and color were changing in to that of a bright white arrow of double the size. The light was manifesting all around the arrow as a physical attack. 

Before anyone could speak on this amazing phenomenon the arrow hit the dummy dead center. The surprising part was that it did not stop. It pierced through the dummy and embedded itself in the wall. The light elemental mana slowly faded from the arrow after it was stopped and the entire room held a deep silence. 

Gil walked to the wall and pulled the arrow out from it. He examined it slowly and carefully then returned to everyone that was waiting. He slowly held the arrow up, ”This arrow has properly survived the use without a single scratch and performed better than most other arrows we have!” The trainees were instantly roused in to cheers and shouts. 

Gil smiled while handing the arrow to the stunned elf that had created it. ”If you can make this work with other elements I believe we will have a revolutionary new form of magic and physical arrows.” Gil patted the elf on the shoulder and spoke to Walker and Scylla next. ”That went well, I almost feel bad telling them that now they need to experiment and produce these new arrows.” 

”Yes! Make more of them. I want to see what every element will do. They are all different correct?” Scylla had lost he usual calm self and was fully taken over by her curiosity. She could simply be described as a battle maniac who needed to see the new ways to attack. 

”Yes yes, Of course there will be. Once they are done if any elves can still stand we will test them out.” Gil was afraid of Scylla acting this way. She was already a domineering person due to the monster traits she had. However, when the energy of curiosity and excitement were added she became downright terrifying in his eyes. 

”I think you should break the news to them, Gil, they might rush off to celebrate in the streets.” Walker was trying not to laugh at the elves who were basically dancing and getting ready to leave after a completed day.

”Listen up!” Gil’s voice reached the loudest it could yet again. The elves were excited to hear his continued thoughts on the arrow and had no idea what he was about to say, ”We will now work together to produce every single elemental version of these arrows. Then if you can stand after making ten each, then we will test them. Please consult with the expert that made the prototype on what materials should work for the other elements!” Gil stepped back and watched the elves fall in to the abyss. 

Walker knew that their mood would fall so far but hearing the potential for the other elemental arrows using different materials made them a little excited. Gil hadn’t even needed to mention that he thought they should look in to adding runes in to the arrows so that they might build the elemental mana faster. 

”Look at the one he labeled as the expert. His face is redder than any fruit but now he is being hounded by all of the others. He will have a bright future ahead after this.” Scylla had noticed the promising elf that had created the arrow. She always had a soft spot for those that were so young and full of possibilities. 

”I think they will be busy for a while over here. Think you can help me take a look at the other training?” Walker was a little interested to see how Midnight and Onyx were getting along with the mage squads. Unfortunately, the training area was too large to easily pinpoint where they were and he was not ready to use his mana to try and reach his senses out farther and figure out where the mages were. His mana and health may have been recovered but the mental and physical exhaustion was still prevalent. 

”That sounds like the perfect way for us to kill the time. I knew you were a smart warrior.” Scylla didn’t hesitate to grab and drag Walker toward another group of elves training. This group was easily discerned from the shields and blocking techniques they were using. There was also Su in the middle of them showing her shield bashing and deflection skills. The elves were trying to copy her and apply them to their own skills.

”Leader, general Scylla. What brings you here? Have you two already completed the training?’ Scylla had already said she didn’t want to be called general until the others arrived but it appeared that Su was just too formal for her. She even addressed Walker by Leader.

”We have exhausted our squads. The supporters I trained were a little worse for the ware but should have gained valuable insight.” 

”And I may have gone too far but the enforcers came and healed me up, full mana and all.”Walker knew that Su could see right through his tiredness around his eyes. He did not dare to lie to her about it. 

”Leader, if you need to rest please take a seat here and witness these trainees’ growth.” Su worried for Walker but knew that he could handle staying awake and learning so she insisted he at least sit. She had been showing the elves a decent amount and it was nearly time to put them to the tests.
