Master Of None

”Oh, there’s Alice. I will go and say hi, are you coming or will you go and find your friends to talk to before we leave in a bit?” Walker already knew the answer but it was asking just for politeness. 

” I will go and see everyone. It wouldn’t be nice to leave without properly greeting everyone.” Walker nodded and saw that Onyx and Midnight were already sneaking off toward a corner they had deemed perfect for napping. With a shake of his head, he went his own way as well. 

”So, I hear that you have become the center of a lot of gossips. Going around and saying full sentences to shock all of the healers?” When Alice hear his voice while she prepared the back up bandages for when they would need them she burst in to a bright smile. 

”Walker!” Her voice was still soft but it danced on his ears nearly stunning him every single time he heard it. There was surprise all over his face when Alice hugged him as her greeting which was different than usual, however, he had no problems with it. 

”We came to get some insights on light elemental mana because Midnight is going to learn a breath attack that uses it. Jill helped us with an explanation about what would happen with too much condensed light elemental mana and about light elemental resistances.” Walker was proud that he was able to gather some information before talking to Alice so that he could have a little bit of a better understanding. 

After making a slightly pouty face Alice pulled on Walkers’ sleeve, ”Ask me.” 

The realization that she would have wanted him to ask her for help hit him, ”I couldn’t bother you. I know you are always so busy. The cathedral relies on you and I can’t take you away from your duty.” His attempt to play it off as if he was afraid he would bother her seemed to work a little. But she still pulled his sleeve a little harder and gave him a stern look. ”But I can ask you for guidance now if you have time? Midnight, Su, Onyx, and I could train here under your supervision?” 

The idea caught Alice off guard since she had expected Walker to say that they were leaving soon. Her smile returned and she started to put away the back up bandages in an easily accessible shelf in the corner of the cathedral with a multitude of other healing items. ”Come on. ”Alice Pulled Walker along behind her after she locked eye son Su from across the cathedral.

Walker managed to overhear a few comments from the healers as he was pulled past, ”I told you they were together!”

”Shhh, the couple will hear you.” 

”Ooohh shush, if you make a big deal you will miss their wedding.” 

The red face that Walker had was completely different from the determined Alice who was already grabbing Su’s arm as well, ”Time for training.” The healers that Su was talking to just giggled as they watched Alice try to pull Su away even though Alice was much less strong than Su. Naturally, Su allowed Alice to pull her toward Midnight and Onyx in their napping corner. 

”Training.” The voice of Alice was not very familiar to Midnight since she had only heard it once or twice. Onyx had spoken to Alice in her mind so he was able to tell that it was her and greeted her quickly. Midnight on the other hand was slower to get up since she was not sure what was going on. 

When Midnight noticed that Alice was the one that spoke and was holding on to Su and Walker she became intrigued. ”Midnight, We are going to the back garden to train. Alice will supervise s since she can use her voice to control the light. It will be better to train here in case we need to ask more questions of others as well.” Walkers’ point was clear and Midnight did not object at all. She silently followed Alice in curiosity since she was a little amused by the smaller girl pulling Su and Walker behind her. Unknown to everyone else, Midnight started to believe that Alice was secretly stronger than Walker and Su to be able to drag them along. 

The garden in the back of the cathedral had not changed. It still held the pleasant gazebo that someone could rest under and the spot that Walker had practiced his water elemental mana manipulation to create the frost whip spell. 

”Here.” Alice stood in the middle of the garden and was giving Walker a harsh look. Before he could ask why she was looking at her he realized that she was waiting for him to begin to call on the light elemental mana with his skills. 

Alice nodded at him when he started to do this and Midnight fell in line so that she would be able to train as well. Onyx took a spot opposite Midnight so that he could constantly absorb the light elemental mana that she breathed out while practicing. Yet, when Su moved to sit too Alice stopped her. 

”Train with me.” Alice was sure that Su would understand but when Su was looking at her confused Alice removed the bracelet that helped her keep her skill under control. This made Su even more confused until Alice raised her hand and spoke again, ”Gather.” The light elemental mana that Walker had been starting to pull towards them was completely taken from his control. 

The light began to condense in to Alice’s hand in a pure white light shaped like a stick. It was a magic staff without any shaping or gem at the top. Just a plain stick of light that somehow did not blind any of them. ”You can make the light a weapon with your words?” Su was too stunned while saying this. When Alice had said she wanted Su to train she expected meditating and resisting what Walker and Midnight did, not that Alice could fight as well.
