Master Of None

After Scylla had mentioned that Walker should use an appraisal skill on him, he looked down questioning himself. "This has nothing to do with who you are and everything to do with why you have this feeling of attachment to the lightning you saw being controlled. I have a feeling about it." Scylla stopped there motioning for Walker to do what he could.

"Let's not waste any time then," Walker instantly used his all around appraisal skill,

'Monty

Thunder haired monkey trait demi-human

Level: 22

Bonded staff system

The target had long trained in the staff battle techniques since they spun a broom as a weapon to tease their friend. The bloodline of the thunder haired chimp is rare in their family and the last occurrence is over sixty years ago. This bloodline is currently awakening and showing the true demi-human traits inherited.' 

The system gave Walker a lot of information that was very valuable. He sometimes wanted to curse the all around appraisal skill since it was a little strange in how it gave him information. Some people or things would not be able to give additional information at all where others would give these extra tidbits of knowledge. 

"I would say you are feeling this way because your true demi-human traits are showing themselves." Walker then read exactly what the appraisal had said. He smirked a little reading about spinning a broom handle as a weapon but was very serious mentioning the bloodline and demi-human traits. 

"I thought the picture of our great great grandfather being struck by lightning was for dramatic effect in the art. But it was really because he had awakened the blood of a thunder haired monkey? I haven't even heard of that monster in my life!" Monty was completely surprised by this where as Scylla, was much more calm. 

"I thought this would be the case. I have found five or six other warriors that had monster traits and not animal traits. Sometimes the monster side doesn't show itself for years or never at all. I assume it was lost to your family history when it didn't show up in your grandfather. These things happen, it is all too common for these misconceptions to happen." 

"That means you have been missing training for years. I will need to retrain you from the start." Scylla's last thought caused Montys' blood to run cold. The training he had already undergone was enough to drive anyone mad. Thinking that it was all going to repeat made him that much more terrified. 

"Well, first I need to awaken the traits and take care of my duties here. I couldn't possibly retrain right now." He had thought that this would save him but Walker chimed in with an answer.

"I think they will only have my king, Scylla, the elf queen, and my party at the meetings. You will be free to train. I also think we can find a way to help you awaken the trait fully." His words were like daggers stabbing Monty but Walker didn't notice at all. He was just starting to get excited to be part of the lost family history coming to light. 

"Exactly my thinking. The awakening started when he saw and felt the lightning so the only logical thing would be for him to experience it. Zap him with a lightning bolt." Scylla didn't hold herself back and asked Walker right away to zap Monty. Her thoughts were that it would be the most efficient way for the traits to be awoken. 

Walker didn't see any problem with this. He had his own revelation about the fusion of elements needed for lightning and would train it when he had the chance. Making a smaller lightning bolt wouldn't be an issue in the least. It also gave him a basis for what control he currently had since making something smaller was much harder due to the fact that he needed much finer control of the mana. 

"Here we go. Brace yourself because I have no idea how this will feel." Walker started to manipulate the three elemental manas before Monty could even speak. The slight crackle and raising of hair made him glance quickly at Scylla who had started to step away. 

Monty released a small whine as he saw that Walker was ready to send the lightning at him. "Wait, maybe we can-" Walker held out a hand which was grasped by Monty just as he used the elemental mana to form the little lightning bolt. 

Due to Monty distracting him and causing the minor shock Walker couldn't stop the mana and pull himself free from Monty. He was consequently shocked and felt the pain of thousands of needles all through his body. This feeling didn't stop and continued even after the little lightning bolt had dispersed. Walker hadn't even heard the small pop that it usually made because he was too distracted by his muscle tightening and the feeling of pain. 

Scylla was the only one that maintained her calmness. She had seen Monty reach out for Walker and knew she couldn't stop him so she had remained still. The only thing she did not expect was that Walker would also be shocked y the lighting. Altogether it was an unexpected situation that left two twitching and gasping young warriors on the ground. 

"I may be a hero, but if I have it my way I will be making your training ten thousand times harder.' Walker managed to say this through gritted teeth. He was not the happiest to be surprised by this amount of pain nor the fact that his own magic was being used against him in this way. 

"Oh, don't worry. He will be training for a few hours today and I will leave him with a long list of tasks to do tomorrow during the meetings. If he thinks he has earned any rest he is wrong.' Monty appeared to be in a little more pain hearing this from Scylla's lips.
