Master Of None

Chapter 2364: 2364. learning And Tests

The two hours of training and tips that Walker gave to the group of younger adventurers made them perfectly understand just how far they were from being able to just go off alone. While they had wished to follow the steps of the adventurer group who became heroes, they had no idea that they had yet to even touch the surface of what they needed.

Walker had not lied to them though. He had made it very clear that his group had made the mistakes they had made. Not in everything, but they had not been as educated. While there were some ways that Walker’s party could have grown before they became a party, they had not had the opportunities.

There had not been so many structured methods to grow and learn as Genesis had now. That was simply because there had not been anyone to unite and establish them. As Genesis had grown in to an alliance that every kingdom currently known was a part of, it had become a wealth of knowledge.

Methods to grow and share information would make everyone stronger. Since this young adventurer party was one of those groups, they would be able to take those lessons. With them, they could be ten, if not more steps ahead of the Walker’s party than what they had been if the time was different.

It was a lot to hear from one of the heroes that they idolized that they were already better than the heroic party at their age. Most people would not imagine them saying this unless it was to make someone feel better. But, here they were, listening to it in all honesty and clarity.

There was also the fact that walker explained to them different good tricks to help with what they were lacking. Mentioning the ways that Su would keep herself alert and moving to defend anyone with a shield at any time.

Her usage of twin shields really inspired the two shield and short sword twins. They knew that they might be able to work together to utilize similar methods while also adapting to an attacking style that used their simple fact of being two people. It would be interesting to see how they wished to develop these styles.

Twins were not impossible and even triplets occurred. Everyone knew this, but they rarely ended up with the same if not related classes. These two were the same. They shared the same weapon skills and ability to work together. If they kept at it, they would have an amazing chance to be able to carve out new ground with teamwork and their own classes.

This could be said for the healer too, a battle healer not learning a focus on healing who put battle first was somewhat rare since they were not being guided by someone raised around healing. The tricks and knowledge would adapt her style. Allowing for there to be a better usage of healing without mana. Allowing for that battle focus to be even greater. Waler had already seen the speed healing skill she could use.

A skill that heals minor wounds rapidly using a small amount of mana. It was a light affinity spell. But where it would shine would be when the party was blinded or stunned by a fire or some other strong attack that did not cause major harm. The speed healing skill could help everyone recover almost instantly from that potentially death causing stun.

The results of the leadership focus when Walker and Alice teamed up to speak to the tallest member of the young party was better. He had not realized he was putting everyone at risk by burning away his mana. He had not realized that his fire affinity could be better utilized elsewhere in learning with his skills.

Their leader had trained mana in a way that allowed him better control over his own mana. If he were to use that to focus on the fire mana around him, he could develop a mana sense using the natural fire mana in the air or all around him. With this, he would be a better leader who could give orders before something major happened. Especially when it came to potential ambushes.

The most change came when Walker had simply shown the wick fire mage a better method of using her fire mana. He explored how Remey had struggled with alchemy to a degree since she needed impeccable fire control to be able to protect a potion and the overall end result of that process.

By explaining that even the smallest amount of fire mana made in to a very small fire ball might be able to do more damage than a larger fire ball, the quick fire mage had an idea that Walker had pushed her toward during his demonstration.

The wands that she used were always full of fire mana. But they were just storage for that fire mana which she allowed to bleed out of them. If she focused on the fire mana and kept it stored better with her willpower, she could also change the size of the fire mana output by the wands. Instead of one large fire ball, they could be many smaller fire balls that were used over time as she decided.

Those smaller attacks could be changed to be piercing like fire arrows or fire spears. Just the idea had brought her to wish to make a fire needle. Something she would need a lot more training to do, but it made Walker feel he had gotten his point across. Especially when he saw the fireball that she had been working on the change from very large to half the size before accidentally dissipating.

”All of you have a better idea now, so take the lead. My group will not help you.’ Alice gave Walker a glance. They had made it through the open expanses of grassy and wild areas. Now they had moved in to a small grove of trees that had come from the expansion of the world. The grove had not been known for a long time, but it was now separating where the old merchant trails used to be when they would move somewhat near the undead ruins. Making it a little harder to get there, but also becoming an amazing place for some monsters to live.

This was also why Walker had pushed the young adventurer party to take the lead. He could sense everything ahead.

Watching the young group take their lead, Walker was glad to see the twin shield and short sword users take their positions on the sides slightly in front of the group. The leader remained in the middle keeping guard over their battle healer while the quick fire mage was prepared to release spells from the back.

It left a little to be desired since they needed a method to defend their backs, but that could be an improvement as they grew. Right now, they were moving together and were not focused on different things. They were also not chatting any more. They had to keep their eyes open and sense free to catch anything that might sneak up on their group through the trees which were perfect for hiding enemies.

When a flutter of what they thought was wind came from the leaves on a smaller tree nearby, the leader stopped them. A smart move since he realized he was not actually feeling the wind on his body. None of them were. But the sound of shifting leaves as if there was wind was still

coming.

”That little tree is moving, it shouldn’t be.” He pointed out right before the wick fire mage sent out a smaller fire ball. The reaction from the leaves on the tree was to flee from the heat

coming toward them.

The small flapping wings of what seemed to have been green leaves made the young adventurer group focus themselves even more. ”Those are leaf moths! They bite and act like vampire bats. They will make you sick if they bite you too.” Their leader knew these monsters. A popular pest in some forests and would fly in groups of five to ten.

All Alice and Walker needed to do was witness what the young group was doing. How they fought here and what they were capable of. Afterwards they could advise the group. Until then, they watched a weak opponent attempt to ambush the group and fail. Already a success for the young group.

”I think they will start to get much stronger now. I just hope that we don’t find anything that could make them struggle too much.” Walker had known these pests were here. Monsters perfect for a small test for young adventurers. His worries lay after this small grove in the lands around the undead ruins. Where he would see the changes that might have occurred due to more mana flowing in the world.
