Master Of None

Chapter 426: 426. Bombarded

”You two think you can team up huh?” Walker wanted to use a little more of his elemental manipulation but quickly caught himself. ”When we get off the stairs I will really get you two with a good swat.” His teasing made the elemental spirits more active. The earth elemental and light elemental spirits even came over to chatter now too.

”You are getting them so riled up. I hope you can tire them out before you leave. If not I will have to add to the job Iʼm asking you to do.” Bree was only teasing as well, but Walker made sure to nod anyways.

Su was still playing the little tag game with the darkness elemental spirit but had also begun to watch Walker interact with the other elemental spirits. She thought it was interesting that they were all equally interested in him.

The light elemental spirit was the least communicative of the group mostly because it always maintained a higher height. It liked being up above the others and this made it feel out of reach, but Walker was still making a point to look at it and give it attention. This made Su happy to have such a caring friend.

”I feel like all of you are just trying to mess with me now.” Walker tried to catch the fire elemental spirit that had just send a small spark to the front of his face. Waker of course wasnʼt affected at all by this and easily reacted, the only problem was that the fire spirit was too nimble in the air and was already far away from him sending out many little pulses of mana.

These little pulses of mana that were giggling from the spirits made Walker more motivated to get a little revenge. He knew they were just playing and he would be sure to go all out when they reached the top of the steps.

The games and teasing went on and on and eventually, the darkness elemental spirit had started to play with Walker as well. When they reached the surface the light elemental spirit descended slightly and was pulling at Walkerʼs hair. ”Glad to be back out in the sun?” Walker wasnʼt sure what the spirit wanted but he had a sneaking feeling that the stronger pulses of mana were important.

”Really? You are asking him that?” Bree looked surprised and Walker just became more curious. ”You should really start to listen better. They are saying some uncharacteristic things.” Bree smiled a little more and Walker got more frustrated that he could only make out when the spirits were giggling.

”Leader, what is it like? Are you feeling a stronger connection when they try to speak to you?” Su was worried Walker was having a harder time with this than he was letting on.

”I can tell when they laugh. But when there is more mana in their speech i am left clueless still. I can feel the mana that they use and it is all the different elements. It is really frustrating since this little light spirit wants me to do something and I canʼt…”

The light spirit sent some slower and more controlled mana pulses at Walker. Bree stopped in her tracks and nearly dropped her jaw to the floor. ”You are singing the alphabet? I havenʼt heard you sing in years.” Bree was looking at the light elemental spirit that paid her no attention at all when she said this.

The other spirits moved to do the same thing and soon Walker was feeling the multiple pulses of elemental mana from each spirit. Walker was sensing every single pulse of mana and felt that he was being overwhelmed. The number of different meanings they could have was more than his mind could keep up with, however, he could feel that his own mana was resonating with them.

Feeling that his mana was being forced to keep up above his means Walker stood completely still and used his entire focus on the sensing of the mana around him. He slowly sat down in the middle of the road they were walking causing Su to become much more worried.

”Just leave him for a few minutes. They decided to help him, I was waiting for them all to take a real interest.” Su realized that the reason Bree hadnʼt been helping Walker wasnʼt due to any reason other than the fact that she was not the best person for the job. The elemental spirits themselves were the best ones to help him get the skill he wanted.

The elemental spirits came to a stop and didnʼt relesase a single pulse of mana. There was only silence in the mana around Walker. The clarity that he felt in this moment flowed through him as he relaxed. He felt enlightened by the constant bombardment of their speech.

Bree was looking at him with a light in her eyes. She knew exactly what Walker was feeling since she had been through very similar occurrences when she bonded with each individual spirit. The process was not as intense but Walker was being spoken to by every elemental spirit she had with her at the same time. She could only imagine that it was many times more complicated.

Su looked at Walker and Bree. The calm expression Walker had told her that he was passed the toughest part in theory. While the excited look Bree had made her wonder if something major was about to happen. The suspense of the silence was more than she could handle. The outside world had faded away from the three of them even though they were on a busy road toward the market and under ground.

”Can he hear us?”

”Tell him to play more”

”I want to meet the archer they have”

”That girl is nice, she knows how to play tag.”

”Tag? We can play more tag.”
