Master Of None

The elves below the high up training area had all stopped their motions. Every single one could feel the mana being forcefully taken from the air and it made their skin crawl. There was nothing they could do and they had not a single clue as to what the cause was. "I think there is something fun happening up there." Scylla wanted to find out who was causing this and immediately left the supporters she had been tormenting with her leviathans. 

She stepped on the air all the way through the vines above her and found an amazing sight. She stood by impressed by Walker's lightning fast movements to slash at every vine and elf that came at him. His defenses were better than his attacks since any little needle thrown or burst of wind sent at him was slashed away before it even neared his skin. 

She too felt that the elemental mana she would normally be able to feel was being pulled by force toward him. She wanted to know what these skills were since she had never witnessed them before. However, there was no way to ask him since he was moving in a strange and fluid dance of attacks and defense. 

' User has pushed the dance of the rabid rabbit skill to the peak of the high level. The skill dance of the rabid rabbit can not be upgraded in to dance of the golden rabbit due to lack of appropriate bloodline of a rabbit trait demi -human and related system.'

Another system notification appeared as Walker pushed his body even further. He did not stop his movements and even became more vicious in his attacks as he focused his mind more. He could feel his instincts in full throttle as his heart beat sounded like a hammer in his chest. 

'User has pushed the skill jungle step to the peak of high level. The skill jungle step can not be upgraded in to the spirit walk skill due to lack of appropriate high elf blood line and related system'

These system notifications would have made any demi-human or elf fall to the floor in shock. Yet Walker continued to push even as he felt another person come up behind him and attempt to attack. His slash zone skill was keeping him protected with his enhanced senses causing him to slash out. 

His momentum suddenly halted and he felt pressure on his wrist and a hand on his head, "That is enough for now, you have already pushed your trainees to their limit." Scylla had used her skills and much higher level to come up behind Walker and swiftly catch his wrist. She had immediately attempted to calm him and the adrenaline coursing through his body.

She had used this tactic many times since some demi-humans developed a berserk quality due to their traits. This caused many to run out of control in battle and need someone to stop them. At this moment she could feel the mana around them suddenly become still and stop being consumed by Walker. "Looks like that skill is ending. I hope it was worth using." 

Scylla said this more to herself since she could feel Walker weakening and barely remaining conscious. The elves around him had all found platforms to collapse on and were trying their best to breathe freely while they calmed themselves. "H-humans..are...monsters!" The elf leader of the elite enforcer trainee squad was currently trying to get this single phrase out. He couldn't imagine any reason why the queen had welcomed these humans in. They were terrifying to him now.

Scylla just smiled with mischief. She loved what she had just seen and knew that it wildly topped the things the geniuses in their kingdom could do in combat. Not to mention she had already picked Walker out as one of her favorite and wanted to see him rise in the demi-human coliseums to challenge her and the other generals one day. 

"I recommend all of you take whatever potions you need and rest as soon as possible. The training is over for you and you will need to reflect on what happened through the session. I will take this young champion to the lower area for some potions and rest as well." 

Scylla left the same way she had come but with Walker barely conscious in her hands. He was groggily watching her trying to understand what had just gone on but he was too dazed. This entire feeling of only having a single mana left was nearly as bad as passing out from not having any. 

He realized that Scylla had brought him to the ground where he was met by some of the enforcers tasked with providing him potions and healing. The flush of skills and the taste of mana and health potions soon brought his mind back to a clearer state. Unfortunately it did nothing for the soreness he now felt all over his body from the training that had just occurred. It appeared he had pushed his body too far in the time he was up there. 

As soon as he noticed there were system notifications he nearly choked on the air he was breathing. He didn't know that he could push skills to their peak and be denied the upgrade due to not having the bloodline and proper system. This explained why he could not get some mastery skills. 

On top of this, he had learned three ground breaking new skills, one of which came from a completely different being than he had ever heard of. Seeing the skill from the demons next was even more heart stopping. He almost shed a tear at how normal the master swordsman system was. He had never thought he would be that happy to only see a master level system in the system notifications. Just so that it seemed normal. "Add a little potion and some healing magic and you have a whole new look about you." Walker could only glance at the intrigued Scylla.
