Master Of None

The supporter squad was rushing around and falling like flies. Scylla was still increasing her attacks though, she was determined to completely exhaust the elves to make sure that they were thoroughly trained. When The last elf fell and the enforcers around saw this they rushed in to check for injuries and anything wrong.

"Your strategy is very unique," Walker said this as Scylla walked over to him and sat down next to him.

"Yes, my family is very interesting. I told those little elves some fun facts but since you shared I will tell you too. These leviathans were all born at the same time as me. We managed to find each other over the years and I know there is one left out in the world. We are bonded due to my monster traits, just like the ancient monster Scylla. You can tell where I got my name." 

Walker took this information like it was gold. Knowing things about such a unique system was a blessing even if he never met another person with it in his entire life. 

"You know, I spend my time shocking myself and others with my system and how strange it is, But I find myself much more interested in others' systems. They all seem to have their own paths that lead to the very top of what they are talented in." Walker was thinking about all the mastery skills he had seen before and all the amazing things they did. 

"Have you heard the phrase, the grass is always greener on the other side? You sound like you want the grass you don't have in your pasture. Yet, there are others that feel the very same way about your grass." Scylla used the phrase that many of the farmers in her kingdom would use. They often would fight over land that they thought was better than others just to grow the same quality and amounts of produce. 

"That's a good saying. I know that I would never give up[ what I have. I was pretty lucky to manage to hit the requirement to unlock this system. But I still wonder if there will ever be a real mastery skill for me or if I will just need to reach the highest level possible." Walker would still

 think of this for some time but he could focus on the training that he was watching around him. 

"If it helps. I have not been able to use my mastery skill. I have it but it is locked behind a quest. I Need to find my sixth leviathan sibling so that we can all have our mastery skill. That will come in time though, it is something I can feel." Scylla had only told this a few times but since she got here and spent time with the party she was feeling much more relaxed than her usual days in the demi-human kingdom. She could only attribute it to the excitement of finding and seeing new things paired with the distance from the demon worries at home. 

"Then I will keep an eye out as I travel. The only thing I wonder is if it will really be as small as the others." Walker was saying this while he watched the leviathans shrink smaller and smaller in size to hide inside Scylla's flowing robes. 

"They are most likely their true size since they can only swim in the air and change their size when in a specific area around me," Scylla admitted this because she believed that the party would be lucky enough to find her last leviathan family member. They just seemed to have a knack for running in to things like that. 

"So it could be massive. That is a little scary but if it is family with you I am sure someone would be able to reason with it." Walker's hopeful theory was defeated with one look at Scylla. 

"Only those who I see as friends or are marked with my scent are usually left alone. I have yet to meet this one so they may be more wild…" Scylla was wondering how she had managed to not hear a single word of where this leviathan was. She could feel the connection but never knew where to look. It was frustrating for her. 

"Well, never mind all that. We have plenty of other training groups to check up on." Scylla pulled Walker from the ground and dragged him through the air toward a group of archers that had a myriad of supplies and tools around them. 

"Look who made it over here. Did you force your groups to train and pass out so fast? It's only been about three hours." Gil laughed like he had been here for only a few minutes. In relation, some of the archers were pale as they tried different variations of materials to make a reusable arrow.

"Have any of you even trained? It looks like a children's craft hour." Scylla had hoped to see the elemental arrows flying and causing massive attacks and area of effect magic. But instead, she was watching elves play with materials like crafters. 

"They saw my reusable arrows and are trying to do the same. I told them that with trade being opened they me export more crystals and not have the materials. This means they need to train their arrow making skills to create arrows that can be infused with elemental mana which can be used multiple times." Gil was very proud of his sound thinking. "So far we have three promising prototypes." Gil led them to the center where there were three arrows with different materials used in the center of a sheet laid out.

Walker couldn't help but wonder what materials had gone in to them. He also noticed that Scylla was much more interested now that she could see the progress of this kind of training.
