Master Of None



"Spatial skills… you will be learning to manipulate spatial mana at some point, correct? Can you make scrolls with it? This spatial skill? Can you show others how to use it?" Mordant has keeping a highly focused gaze on Walker. He wanted to be able to learn these things. He wanted to be able to do more. 

The reason that this was such a focus wasn't just the rarity and strength of skills. But also the fact that light and darkness mana were related to space in a way. Light could take up space and could be thought of as a unique mana that interacted with space differently than all other manas. 

Shadows and darkness were different. The darkness mana was odd already but everyone has seen that some monsters could use shadows to hide themselves. Some systems even came with skills that let others become one with shadows and travel. Therefore, it was clear that shadows and darkness already interacted with space in some form or fashion. 

"I think I will be able to make the perfect environment for others to learn spatial magic. But I had no way to make the skill a scroll before. It would be gone as soon as the scroll was used, how would someone get something stored back?" this made sense and Mordant nodded. He was just hoping for something random and amazing again. It would not be the first time Walker had come out of nowhere with something amazing like this. 

"I also have to figure out how exactly to sense spatial mana. I literally got this skill because I have been influenced by my spatial storage skill so much that it was pushed to a higher level. It took a long time of constant usage to get here. I wouldn't even have noticed it if the system didn't say something." 

This was the most important part. Walker had gained the skill without being able to sense the spatial mana. That alone was astounding within itself. Therefore, how could he have gained a higher tier skill without his unique system that let him use many skills. Not to mention that he should have to learn what spatial mana felt like in general. 

Luckily, he was in the Fel empire. Their research was sure to have many puzzle pieces and keys to what he wanted to know. He had also seen a rare spatial system user that the world had given a quest to. But that was a whole other thing. A mystery that Walker still could not understand and had purposefully ignored since it felt too far from his grasp. 

That might not be the case now. He had managed to store things away constantly and even was able to store more things now. With this, he could start to pursue more of this kind of knowledge. Maybe he could teleport or send things through space better. He might even be able to use it as some form of advanced movement skill. There were too many potentials. 

So many thoughts were rushing through his mind but his clear joy was something that stood out compared to everyone. Su saw it quickly and decided that she wanted to know what he had done. Especially since he kept looking at everyone with clear intent in his thoughts. 

"I see that you learned a new skill, what would it be?" Su's curiosity was surely something that everyone else would have. But she did feel a little happy that she would be able to learn it sooner than the others. It was a small thing that had become like a game in everyone's mind. Who could hear about Walker's new skills first? 

"Justa spatial skill. One that makes my storage skill a lot better. It also gave me a little information about how others could potentially learn the storage skill. Think I should learn more about spatial mana?" Su hadn't expected this. Now she could have the same skill she had seen Walker use all the time? That very same skill that made so many people incredibly jealous at all times? 

"When are you going to start teaching it then?" Su didn't even hesitate. She was sure that this was the same reaction that Mordant had. The slight chuckle from Mordant proved her correct. 

"As soon as I have the chance. But we can see that spatial mages might not be that common. There aren't any with us from the Fel empire. But with their researching potential, I am sure there is some information. I just need to figure it out." Walker looked around at the remaining parts from the adult saw toothed sand worm. He was sure that it would be cleared up soon. It also reminded him of the current situation. 

"I have to say, you are able to make us all jealous. But don't worry, I will have my own storage soon." Su's attitude became much brighter. She also made a line directly for Gil to tease him a bit. It seemed that the heat had brought her mood down a little but now that she heard something interesting like this, she had become much lighter. That kind of attitude broke from her seriousness, but it also helped everyone become much more relaxed. Joy could be contagious too. 

By the time the group was moving, everyone had heard of the changes in Walker's spatial storage skill. They were all amazed he had learned such things. However, it seemed that Ethan was the most interested. The Rize angels had been able to more or less ignore it even though they were seeing that their values might not be the most solid any more. Other manas were playing larger roles in things lately after all. Their elemental mana focus might not be able to remain strong as it had been. 

"You don't seem surprised that spatial mana is a part of my thoughts now. What do you think about it? Can your researchers help me learn a little more?" Ethan heard Walker's question and knew that this would come up. His eyes shifted to the Rize empire angels who were not so sneakily listening as they marched. But this was all fair in their stand off. The two empires had never crossed their borders like this and all information was useful, even things like this held a lot of weight. 

"We do have research for spatial mana. It is very rare and hard to handle. Most of those that have chosen this path are rare to encounter. They often hide away and focus on the space in the world rather than speak with others. If you even find two spatial researchers together, then it means a breakthrough has already happened. But that is still rare. Spatial mana is more complicated than I can even speak to."

  The slightly cryptic nature of how Ethan replied made Walker understand that Ethan was not willing to give anything away. It also proved that the archangels had left this to an important crossroads. A chance for the Fel empire to keep the Genesis forces closer to them for longer. To be able to develop more of a relationship with them. A well played card that would get more useful the longer it was used. 

"Well, I would like to meet them. I have met one spatial traveler before. He was well above what I have ever met and he appeared human. Not that I have proof of this. But spatial system users are far and few between. I want to get more knowledge to start some of my own studies started. Even if it is books or a spatial mana crystal. They have to exits. It only makes sense that some will since other rarer mana crystals exist." 

Walker was mainly playing with his theories. But he knew that doing so would bring out some information from Ethan. The sudden reaction of awe that Ethan had before fixing his expression perfectly explained what Walker had just won. It proved that Ethan knew of such mana crystals and that they were indeed very rare. Therefore, the Fel empire had at least found and recorded one to exist. It even proved there might be other rare mana crystals of certain manas that Walker had never seen. Such as life, death, and maybe even time mana. Too much to consider right now. 

Yet, there was a small reaction from the Rize Empire forces. This was a surprising thing since they denied these theories and manas. But if they had rumors enough to cause their soldiers to react to such statements, then it proved that the Rize empire might have some unique items stored away to hide them. It just proved that upholding their values was tougher and tougher. But it also proved that there was something Walker could still glean from them in this subject. Great information for him to know.
