Master Of None

Since Midnight had begun to get acclimated to the water elemental mana, Walker noticed more of the mist coming from her heavy breathing. This was what he had wanted to see and knew this was a major bit of progress. Without waiting he started to condense the mana even more for her. She was at a critical step where her breath attack was pulling in the water elemental mana to change the mana inside and then breath it out. 

The mist was the sign that Midnight had grasped the concept of water elemental mana breath. However, it was not strong enough to cause anything but mist. She needed more condensed water elemental mana to make more progress. 

Su had made her way out to the space in front of the forge where Walker and Midnight were training only to find that the ice was expanding. When Walker puled more of the water mana towards them he was unintentionally making more of the ice he had started with but also allowing the water elemental spirits still resting nearby to have a slight boost back to their normal state. The other spirits would take some time. Especially the light elemental spirits that would rest until the sun of the morning. 

There was a sudden pause in Midnight’s breathing as she exhaled all of her breath before taking a very deep breath full of the condensed water elemental mana.. Su could tell that this would be the moment that the skill would click. 

When Midnight couldn’t hold her breath anymore she breathed out. The white mist was no longer mist but instead a flurry of soft snowy wind. Walker was now covered in a light powder. ”I know you wanted to show off, but making me a snowman might not be the desired effect of the frost breath you are trying to learn. 

There was a small huff from Midnight in frustration. She had not gotten the desired effect but she was much closer. She knew how to make her mana create a cold breath attack that caused snow. Now she needed to refine it through practice and transform it in to complete ice. It was like the flames. She had to practice making the flames change and move before she could even create flames herself. 

”Leader, our friend is working on his tools now and the forge furnace. It will take some time but he seems very excited with the materials you brought.” Su didn’t want Walker to interrupt the wandering blacksmith since he was intensely focused. 

”I feel bad that he has to modify everything, but we are going to go all the way to the mountains with him and I think he will be glad to have something amazing to show off as his work. To be honest, he is probably the best blacksmith we have ever met.” Walker was always amazed by the wandering blacksmith and this was just another moment that he realized it. 

”He is. I hope that he can work on my armor for elemental resistance at some point in the future. I want to be able to withstand the different breath attacks Midnight is learning. I feel it is important for my system.” Su was not wrong. She was the user of a draconic guardian system. It only made sense that she would be able to withstand all the elemental breath attacks that Midnight could use along with the elemental attacks of other monsters. 

”That sounds like a good goal to have. But it might not be as easy as it was for you to get the poison resistance. I know that I get skills from the actions I take, but you might have to rely on the rest of us to get all of the elemental resistances.” Walker had a theory that they could use the educationist title to get the resistances that Su would need. 

”I think think that we are not on the right track of mind. Midnight’s scales resistant all the elements after she has started to grow with the dragon champion system and bloodline. I am a draconic guardian which is normally guarding a dragon that they and with. I already have the darkness elemental affinity that Midnight had. I think I will have the resistance and affinity just like her but I have yet to unlock them by growing with her. Please let me train with you two while you help her with her breath attacks.” 

The unwavering determination in Su’s eyes said that she believed this was the best path for her to take. Since the rest of the party always supported her and she was most likely on to something if she felt so strongly, Walker nodded his head. 

”I was planning to meditate more and help keep the ice here while I did it. I’m learning how the ice is interacting with the earth and wind while this all happens. I think the main problem is that Midnight is also using some wind elemental mana while she using her breath attack causing the snow effect.” Walker immediately became serious and focused on the issues. If he did not he would be disrespecting the strong motivation Su had. 

”Then technically she is making some form of storm cloud inside her that produces snow. It is a fusion spell like you would use.” Walker was stuck on Su’s simple realization. It did make sense that if this was the cause then Midnight was subconsciously bringing in too much wind elemental mana when she breathed in. 

Midnight looked as if she understood and was trying to make a change in her next breath. The result was still the small amount of snow but this time Walker could feel the chill in the air from her breath. It was a very slight change that he could feel in the mana but a change that proved she was making progress.
