Master Of None

"Thanks for that." Alma was happy to avoid any further experiments for the time being. She knew all too well the fact that the spell swords could rush in to things to try and get more powerful and cause themselves harm. They were very dedicated to a fault, which made her worry. 

"Thank you for your assistance with mana. I had n idea you could borrow mana from the forest and send it to someone." Walker was still more than impressed by her skill. It was a huge boon for an elf who was always surrounded by natural mana.

"That skill is called natural mana conversion. I basically become the conductor for the mana. It is really hard on my body. But it was worth it to see the spark in their eyes. Just look at them, they are all still going on about what to try next." Alma looked at the mages who were talking furiously with other elemental mages.

"This reminds me of how I felt when I learned I could influence plants like the queen. I might have asked every possible question and still had more." Alma laughed a little weakly, she was finally showing the tiredness she had gained from using her skills for so long. 

Walker knew that in her position she had to stand tall at almost all times. It was impressive the dedication she was showing. He was especially impressed by the fact that she seemed to take the time to know many aspects of her people's lives and desires. 

"Well, as far as I can tell they are driven and that is a good thing. I will happily help, but only if you rest well enough. I can't provide enough mana by myself for that long term testing. But if we make some crystal items for them specifically then I should be using a lot less mana." Walker started to think of his own theories as they walked towards where Walker was staying. Sierra made herself known again, she had been holding back to avoid any interruption. 

"Your party members have already left for their respective tasks. The only member that is nearby is your defender. Miss Su is currently strolling the markets." 

"I'm sorry that you were forced to stay with us experimenting all night and most of this morning. I'm sure you are used to it with your enforcer position, but it is still not easy." Walker had felt even worse realizing that he had been the reason Sierra had been stuck there guarding him. 

"There is no reason to worry. This is the task I have been assigned and I was able to view something very special to the mages I will work with for years to come." Sierra, however, was happy to have been there. She had not been bored or tired in the slightest. Instead, she had learned with them. 

"I am glad that's the case. Now I need to be off for a bit to rest. Walker, I will see you after you have rested as well." Alma was at her breaking point. Her tiredness had built and she knew she had to get home to recuperate her mana and rest her body. 

"I will see you later. Maybe Gil will be back from hunting with all the materials he needs by them." His slight tease made Alma rush away a little faster. Walker couldn't help but be amused by this. He had been teased by Gil and Remey so much that now he really enjoyed being on the opposite end.

"Can you take me to where Su is? I am interested in what she has learned from the elf craftsmen yesterday. I think she must have found something good." Sierra nodded to Walker and took the lead. He was tired, but with the constant supply of mana fromAlma and mana potions, he was not nearly as exhausted as he expected. He had a sneaking suspicion that there were other buff effects used on him through the process that Alma had not admitted to.

Sierra led him through the trees and past the area of the markets that Walker had explored the day before and went farther towards some treehouses with many more items on display. Walker only realized now that he had missed a huge area of the markets by leaving for other things the day before. Luckily for him, Su was easy to spot since she had both of her shields on her back. 

Walker managed to catch up to her as she browsed a stall full of forest edible plants. "Sorry for missing you yesterday. If you can believe it I was caught up infusing two spells, which turned in to a whole other thing." Su looked at Walker with knowing eyes. 

"Leader, if there is ever a day you don't get caught up in something unexpected then that will be the day the world ends." She laughed a little while paying for a bunch of pink grapes. "These are very good, they are only able to grow here in the forests because of the shade and natural mana." 

Walker took a few and was pleasantly surprised by the sweet and sour flavors of the pink grapes. "Let me guess, this is something you found yesterday?" 

"Of course, while you were busy I decided to explore. It is really beautiful the way everything had been naturally shaped and crafted in to the trees. The elves are very polite and enjoy telling me about their home. I could see us visiting again just to relax." This was just like Su, she had always gotten along with the healers because of her kindness and dedication. Now she was making bonds left and right with the same kindness in the elf city. Eleven now Walker spotted a few elves looking at her with smiles. 

"Well, could I bother you to show me the ropes? I only visited two shops the other day and did not get the full experience." Su gave Walker a vibrant excited smile. She was happy to have another to walk with other than the enforcers that she knew were always around the corner.
