Master Of None

Chapter 2363: 2363. Teacher Mode

With Walker and Alice encouraging there to be some training when it comes to perception, the rest of the group moving with them had begun their own jobs.

Those that were making the maps had been focusing on the changes to the heart now that they had made it outside of the farm lands. A large distance around the farm lands had been scouted out for the most part. This was to plan the expansion of more fields and also of smaller outer villages since Genesis was always growing.

The dragon territories were already a very large section of what Genesis had become. The space that they needed had to be larger because they were larger in general. However, the dragons also had to plan for their own growth, hence why it was easier to consider that Genesis needed more pace at all times.

As such, There was a lot of space when it came to the empty and untouched lands between and around everything made. Right now, this land had been scouted for there to be more farms since the farmers where they were now might wish to sell their lands to others who would be building new businesses and whatever else.

The land was more or less clear with small groupings of high bushes or trees here and there. Some of the eleven herbalists had even been preparing seedlings to grow in the wilderness here since there would be fewer monsters to bother them. Not to make them an herbal farm, but so that people passing through could harvest some basic herbs.

The notes on the maps about these saplings would go in to a general report for the Genesis building staff to make note of. Proving that there was a general acceptance in harvesting these wild herbs used for basic healing was a simple but great way to improve daily life. Especially for the merchants who were leaving or coming to Genesis for travels.

It was even more important for those that would be coming back from harsh training or tough quests. For example, if anyone was injured, there would always be some sort of medicinal herb able to be used to hopefully help someone. A small but brilliant way to be able to help everyone.

Alice found this enjoyable since she was sure that a healer would also be able recognize these herbs as well. Yet, she found that the healer in the young adventurer group had not even given the small healing herbs a second glance.

”Why didn’t you notice the healing herbs? You could harvest them to help your group.” While soft, the battle healer who had been part of the group responded very quickly and with some nervousness.

”I can’t use those, my skills only use some light mana to heal. I can’t use the herbs to heal anything. They would just dry out while I carry them.” Alice nodded as she listened.

This was a mistake that many young and inexperienced healers made. Especially those that did not have a pure focus and education about healing. Since this battle healer had leaned in to the battle side and not gone to the cathedral or what appeared to be many in depth classes about healing methods, she did not actually grasp the full understanding of what she should be doing.

”You should gather them. You should let them dry out. You should be ready to use them when you lack mana. Some wounds can be bandaged with the wetted leaves from that plant there. You should attend a class about healing without mana.” Walker’s attention was caught when he heard Alice speaking so much.

When he caught on that she was teaching about healing a little, he decided to pop in with a little lesson he had learned from Alice. ”When I was learning more about healing, Alice showed me that wounds wrapped and cleaned with healing herbs could be healed with less mana or none at all since the body would heal them naturally. That will allow the more life threatening wounds to be exhaled with magic. Scrapes can be dealt with by the herb she pointed out just now. Battle wounds will need a healing skill.”

The young battle healer adjusted the small backpack on her shoulders and looked at them with slightly wide eyes. ”Excuse me, do you have a small extra journal?” Walker caught one of the apprentice map makers and he was quickly tossed a small extra note book. These small journals were just one of many that the map makers had. They were more than happy to share them if it would help. ”Thank you!”

Alice took the small notebook from Walker and handed it to the battle healer, ”Write these things down and share them with the others. They are a little ahead and Walker will be mentioning your formation soon.” She smiled at Walker before he gave a little nod. Alice had known right what he was thinking when he was thinking it. Too perfect.

With a quick change of pace, Walker found the two shield and short sword users. He was right behind them while barely even putting the effort in to hiding his approach. On the contrary, he made it very easy for them to see him if they had been paying attention. Unfortunately, the pair was chatting away without a care in the world.

A small stomp of his food brought the ground in to a muddy consistency. The small amount of water and earth mana he condensed there was enough to make the pair sink in to the ground a little. And with that, a small pat to their backs sent them stumbling.

”Both of you are the defenders of your group. Both of you were snuck up on and taken out since you have no one to watch your backs. Your healer is distracted because she didn’t understand the uses of naturally occurring healing herbs in the wild. And I don’t see your leader or mage close enough to help you. Care to explain?”

”Nevermind that, where are the map makers? Where are the others of my group? Can you see them?” They had not realized how far they had run off and how they had gotten so separated. But Walker did. They had yet to go out in to the wilderness as much and were making bad mistakes. Things that their leader should have been handling but had yet to do because of their own experience.

”Retreat back to your healer and maintain a formation. That is important in the wilderness at all times. When you are ambushed by an ogre or violent orcs, or any monster, you will be able to defend yourselves.” The two appeared scared enough that they couldn’t respond. They rushed back from where they had come from. Walker soon heard a small shout proving that they found their battle healer and Alice.

This left Walker with an easy task. Their tall leader and their mage who hid themselves in their cloak which was a little more expensive and with all her wands. Using his mana senses, Walker picked up on the fire mana surrounding the mage. He also found that the leader was also there, however, he was clearly lacking some mana.

Just a little walk by as Walker hid himself using the shadow wrapping skill, and he saw why that was.

”So you have a fire affinity too as the leader. You have been helping recharge those wands because your quick fire magic mage here does not have enough mana to recharge the wands and does not recover mana fast enough.” the two jumped as he appeared right next to them. The mage wasn’t even able to react and grab a wand in the surprised state.

”And you are both not ready for an ambush so being so far from everyone, even further than your two chatty shield and short sword wielders were, could not help you if you cried out.” The quick fire mage glanced right at the ground. She had lost some of her haughty aura when Walker had found that she had a failing like this.

”You should receive mana since you are in the wilderness. If you are not able to lead properly, then you will not make it back and neither will your team. We will talk about this alter., return to your team and prepare a formation with them in case you are attacked.”

”And you, you will be training fire magic understanding. The amount of mana you radiate proves that there is no way you can hold on to the fire mana in those wands and use it properly. You bleed away mana too much. It’s time to fix that.” Walker had gone full teacher mode now. He couldn’t just let them miss everything while they had the chance to grow on this little adventure.
