Master Of None

Chapter 1165: 1165. Flapping

Since the dinner had gone well and everyone had the chance to catch up, Walker was feeling ready to do some good training for the day. Midnight had also planned her own training and when Walker found that she had been jumping off the top of the mansion he decided to work on his wind elemental mana skills.

He wanted to try and use it to propel himself upward while using the daggers he had the day before.

The main idea he had would be for Midnight to jump and for him to use the wind to push himself up in the air at the same time. Midnight would need to time the wind right to catch it and use her wings to flap higher in the air. Walker would need to control the wind around him to boost his agility and jumping height to get above a potential enemy.

He had the wind ripple skill but using it was not the same as a sudden burst upward or over all his body. He wanted to be able to use the wind to better speed his body completely.

The reason he was so fixated on agility was the speed of Gilʼs arrows against Lust. Walker had been able to see them but he knew that blocking them would have been a very tough challenge. If Walker was going to be around dragons that could use elemental magic at a pure level, he wanted the ability to dodge or block attacks easier.

He was sure that the dragons would test him in some way, whether it was mental or physical he did not know.

Midnight was just absorbed in the challenge of being able to fly before she got to the dragons. She knew that a dragon at her age shouldnʼt be as grown as she was already. But that did not matter at all. She was a true dragon champion. She should be able to fly and defend those she cares about better than anyone else.

Being able to fly was a small and easy thing for the other dragon champions she was sure to meet. It would also make it easier for Walker to move more freely in combat because Midnight could take to the skies and defend the party or attack with her elemental breath attacks. The possibilities were easily more than she could imagine.

”Come on! Flap your wings harder! You can do it, donʼt give up and extend them fully while using every muscle to push them down!” Walker had been reading a lot of books on how monsters could fly. With some guidance from Elise,ʼ he had been able to grasp the idea behind flight. A dragon in particular had dense muscles that would power their wings.

They would be small in comparison to some other monsterʼs muscles, but they were specially designed to give a dragon more range of movement to change direction and catch the air. Midnight should be able to move in a circle by changing the way she flapped her wings.

With the guidance that Walker had been giving her, Midnight was feeling her confidence and flight skills rise by the moment. She had not expected him to stay up late and push himself to learn these things just to help her. Since that was the case she took every word with care and tried her best to copy what he was saying. It proved to be the best training she had in some time.

Neil had managed to encourage her but could not fly himself so missed some things that Elise had told Walker about.

The attempt went better than the previous and Midnight managed to catch the wind for a few flaps before she slowly flapped to the ground. She was not able to consistently put out enough force to push herself higher just yet. But it was much better each time. ”I think you will have it down sooner than later. I think you just need a little more muscle training.

And yes, I will keep trying to get the wind to wrap around my body.” Midnight was also carefully watching Walker. She could feel the way the wound moved and saw that Walker was having a hard time making it move around his entire body evenly. He often found himself stuck with only his torso or legs being able to have the wind pushing them.

”I think the real question you should ask yourself is why you are trying to control the wind so much. You make it all go one way but you forget that it is already all around you.” Alma stopped by because she had breakfast with Su and Remey earlier. Now she was leaving after consulting the mansion library for some books about the monsters in the lakes and streams.

”I have heard the mages that practice wind elemental magic say things like that. It seems to help them.” She shrugged and continued on her way with her books.

It was true that Walker was hyper focused on making wind do everything and forgetting that he could control the general area of air around him instead. Forcing a very small area of control was making him too specific. That caused him to control small amounts of air elemental mana instead of larger by displacing the air around him.

He could use this the same way a storm used the hot and cold air to cause wind currents.

The ideas seemed to fit the pieces in to place and Walker made Midnight get back to the top of the mansion for the next try. This time though, he was thinking of pulling on the small amount of fire elemental mana in the air to cause a change in temperature. It would be a combination of two or three mana s but one that should prove worthwhile.
