Master Of None

Chapter 1160: 1160. Progress

”Are you going to tell me how you manage to sing like that? I couldnʼt even tell what words were coming out of your mouth so I have no idea that there would be light elemental swords coming for me.” Walker was still very impressed with the skills that Alice had shown off in their battle.

”She has been training a lot. Yesterday she suddenly started doing that and managed to make a shield faster than I could even start to draw light elemental mana toward me. I think itʼs called mondegreen.” Su came back from where she had been sitting to watch and joined in the conversation.

”Thatʼs a skill that some people use to confuse others. I have met some rogue or thief system users with the skill but after some research, I found that it is a skill some song related systems use. It is the reason you canʼt quite understand her words.

She sings in a way that makes them sound like other words so it all ends up seeming nonsensical.” Since Alice was his only daughter, the high priest had taken a lot of time to research such things. He had been very impressed by the skill appearing within his daughtersʼ singing. But more so, that it would help protect her.

Alice was standing very proud in front of Walker waiting for his response to this. ”So you can pretty much attack to surprise the enemy at all times. It would even be better if they misheard the opposite or something else.

Itʼs the perfect skill to keep you safe and your opponent on edge.” Walker was no fool, he knew that Alice might end up against someone or something that could speak properly and understand language. If this happened, then Alice would be able to confuse them and survive better.

”You were so fast too!” Alice had not expected how embarrassed she would feel as everyone focused on her. It was unusual since she was used to having an audience when she sang. However, she knew that the people around her were impressed and cared for her the same way she cared for them. That seemed to make it all the more embarrassing.

”Iʼm not all that fast. I was using my skill; dance of seasons. It has five acts, that was spring. It boosts my agility a little while I dodge. It also lets me use certain elemental mana better but I need to be able to fight in close combat. I need to train.

There were a lot of things I did wrong and I could have left myself wide open.” This was what Su and Onyx had been waiting on. They had been watching carefully and keeping note of what Walker did.

”I agree, you land on your toes a few times instead of the balls of your feet.”

”Brother, I also saw you hesitate when you swapped to those daggers. It was a good choice, unfortunately, it could mean you are injured,” Onyx feared that the half second of hesitation while Walker decided what he would do was going to be the moment that he was hurt.

”I noticed that I wasnʼt landing right too. If I rotate in the air I think that I will be too far back and adjust too much. I need to practice it more. But I need to go through every single act. The one Iʼm worried about is the fifth act; symphony of seasons since it makes me use natural mana mixed with my mana. It will be harder to use but a very good way to train.

I didnʼt realize I hesitated though. I donʼt often swap weapons at higher speeds in battle. I will think about that.” Walker was a little worried that he would hesitate more if he didnʼt get used to the motions.

”Alice. You need to make sure you move from the start of a battle. If you worry that you will get in the way you will be down and out before you know it.” Since Su had been training with Alice she was not going to be sugar coating it. Alice didnʼt want that either. She wanted the blunt evaluation of her movements so that she could improve.

”I agree. But I think you could try and change the way you use the swords of light. They were the same patterns most of the time. They are light. They might not need to stay sword shapes or they might not need to move the way a sword does.

You control them completely.” Onyx had a sense for the way the light elemental mana was and he knew that Alice could adjust the size and shapes of her sword by changing the words to her song slightly. If she could do this while singing she would be able to do much more.

”Wait, why focus on words at all? Why not blades or spikes or needles in general? You can shape light in to any shape right? Then sing of blades not swords. If you are more general then you can make the song what you want it to be.” Alice was already writing before Walker had started to say his thoughts. Everyone watched her scribble down ideas and eventually sat down focused on the spot.

”Brother. Would you like to come and appraise the progress of the heavenly serpent egg? We have been working very hard to make sure that it gets more than it will ever need.” Walker was finally going to see what the gold that Onyx spent went to.

He would be able to give Onyx a small talk about spending wisely and also seeing the progress that had come from the near round the clock care that Onyx and Alice traded off. Alice on the other hand was too stuck in her epiphany to go with them. The high priest stayed behind to see what he could do to help.
