Master Of None

Walker was glad that Scylla couldn't pick up and drag all of them in the air to the mage training squads. He didn't feel like he could handle more of the sudden agility she had when running through the air. He also knew that in her excitement she might just land too hard and knock him out. 

"They seem to have pushed all but one tenth of the mages to exhaustion. It's impressive that the little snake is so large and domineering now. I would love to watch some of our young warriors take little Onyx on for a match." Scylla adored the terrifying possibility of giant monsters and the pressure put on warriors that face them. If she were to have it her way she would have many monsters to assist in training every single young warrior. 

"I think he will need a break after this. I have a feeling that the only reason he is still moving is because he is absorbing their light elemental mana constantly."Walker was watching some of the weaker spells completely dissipate as they reached Onyx. 

"I see that but who is that with Onyx?" Su was curious about the female elf that was throwing out light blades here and there. "Her attacks are nearly instant which is much faster than the other spell swords. She might not be a spell sword." Su made this decision after seeing yet another thrown light blade in an instant. 

"I think Onyx made a friend! It's so cute." Remey was instantly infatuated with the fact that their youngest member had made a friend while training. "I can't wait to see him introduce us. Do you think he will be shy?" 

Walker tried to ignore Remey being dramatic but found that he was becoming more and more curious about the skills that allowed the elf to use the thrown blade skill that would normally take some time to build up, even if it was a short time. 

"I have seen something similar before but with water magic. It was when I was just entering the kingdom and learning about the water affinity I have. I tried my best to seek out a magic teacher since I do have some magic skills. The man I found used skills in an instant as well." Scylla was reminiscing a little but realized that she had drawn the group's attention. 

Realizing this Scylla coughed and stood a little taller, "The mage was using two different skills. He could use instant cast which would automatically prepare a skill as if he had a second mind. That skill though still showed the mana being pulled toward him. What that elf is using and what the man I called master used was from a set of sealing skills." 

"Of course! If she is sealing the thrown light blades then she is able to release the seal at a moment's notice and send them at an enemy. It would be a brutal surprise attack with nearly zero chance to miss." Walker was feeling enlightened now that he knew what he was watching. 

"That is rather amazing...I heard that sealing skills are normally in the exorcist system or the high priestess systems." Su had heard of these systems and the fact that they could also seal things while she was peaking to the healers at the cathedral. 

"So, that elf will seal away a light elemental attack somehow then use it to destroy an opponent." Remey was looking down at her fist wondering if she could find someone that could seal her punching attacks but quickly thought that it might make her unable to use her hands. 

"If I could seal some of my magic spells then I might be able to bring them all out at once when we are in trouble." Walker had begun to think out loud and didn't care that the others were looking at him. Scylla in particular was wondering just how knowledge hungry Walker was. She had already known that he gained three new skills and was trying for more already. 

"I wouldn't try that if I were you." Wade made his reappearance after having done some of his own work with the trainees that had fallen. He and Alma had been in charge of moving them to a better resting place while the party and Scylla continued the training. 

"And what makes you say that?" Scylla was curious why Wade would try and stop Walker from learning another skill that could be very valuable in the future. 

"Not only does sealing the spell require you to have that elemental affinity you will fail immediately. The skill wouldn't even work. On top of that, you need to use elemental mana crystals or another catalyst with double the elemental mana to seal the skill. That means the strongest spells usually can not be sealed at all unless you have a mystery sealing skill." Wade had once thought that the sealers in the world would be an untouchable system user but when he found the price to use the skills he realized they were harder than expected. 

"I see, so I could get double as strong as my strongest spell and still struggle to seal it properly." Walker was slightly dejected but glad to have Wade come to check on them in such an opportune moment. 

"I also don't want to see you take the risk of sealing a spall and having it run out of control. Once you begin a sealing skill the thing being sealed fights back. Whether it is mana or monster or human, it will try and stop from being bound. The natural mana, in particular, will try and spread out as much as possible." This was another reason Wade did not try to encourage people to have skills or other things sealed. 

"Well, that girl is doing great with her sealing skills." Remey pointed out another thrown light blade that appeared to be building up."
