Master Of None

After the dinner that centered around Gil's successful hunt of the lord boar, everyone went their own ways. Walker and Su made a deal with Midnight to wake up early and work on the final breath attack. They needed to work on the light elemental attack since it was the last one remaining. 

For a change, Walker found himself waking up Midnight who had been fairly exhausted with all of her training. It was clear that it was taking more out of her than he imagined. Yet, when he told her to slow down he was met with defiance. Midnight had no intention of slowing her progress and knew that if managed to get all of the elemental dragon breath attacks she would be closer to being the best dragon champion there ever could be. In terms of dragons, she was sure to be well ahead of many at her age. 

"I didn't think you would be up so soon." Su walked in with a pot of hot water for tea. She usually would have sat for a little while she waited for Midnight to wake up Walker. 

"I just happened to be up so I decided to flip the script a little. Plus, the light elemental breath attack will be interesting so I wanted to see if Onyx wanted to help out. He might not have light elemental attacks but he does absorb and consume light elemental mana." Onyx was just waking up as well from his sleeping spot next to Midnight and appeared to like the sound of this. 

"Brother, I believe having me around may make it harder. I will absorb the light mana without trying." The look downward made Onyx seem like a pouting child who wanted to do something but was just told no. 

Seeing this reaction, Midnight shook her head and used her snout to flip Onyx on to her back. "As you can tell, she doesn't seem to mind. It will also make her work a little harder for the attack. The challenge is always welcome." Walker was also thinking about the fact that he would have to work harder to condense the light elemental mana for the area. He didn't have many light elemental skills that had become physical at the end of the day. It was still an affinity that was mostly used for some forms of healing and illusion.

"There is something I have been wondering." Su had a pensive look on her face while she poured herself the morning tea she looked forward to every day she was home. "If I gain resistance to light elemental mana, will the healing skills that use light elemental mana be less effective on me? Will the skills that cause illusions be less effective on me? I have yet to find any answers in books I have read." 

Walker brought his hand to his chin, he had no idea if this was a thing at all. " I don't want you to get a resistance to an element that could cause you to be unable to be healed. It would be a terrible thing if you were hurt in the first place, but if you couldn't be healed? Much, much worse." There was no way that Walker could allow something like this. It would be incredibly risky. 

"Why don't we visit the cathedral this morning first. There is a lot of light elemental mana there and it could be helpful to speak to the light elemental affinity healers." Onyx came to the best conclusion they would all have reached. The cathedral was the most concentrated place for light affinity individuals. Mostly because they usually had some form of healing skill. 

"Then we get to go to the cathedral. It should be a fun day then." Su was more than happy to reach this conclusion. She would be able to see her friends and even had a few ideas of who to speak to. 

"Mhm, we should head out after breakfast. There is some left over stew and I know just where it is." Walker snuck some of the leftover stew from the kitchen and they all relished the meal for a second time before they left. 

"The streets seem busier today than yesterday. I wonder why." Su had taken notice of the many people and carriages out on the roads. 

"I think a lot of people are heading out for work at Genesis city today. Some have even decided to move there. Actually, I think there are a lot of people who received quests that had no systems that are leaving to go there as a new start. It could be a really big deal." Walker noticed many who appeared to be learning new tasks as well. It was a nice thing to see through their entire walk to the cathedral. A new opportunity was always a positive thing in the world. 

"Su!" One of the nuns outside the cathedral welcomed Su as soon as she saw her. 

"Good morning! How are you? Normally the others are outside. Why are you doing it today?" Su knew that her friend would not normally be the one greeting those that came to the cathedral in the morning. 

"Well, you know how we had a lot of people here after the farms were attacked?" The nun saw Su nod, "Most of them have been healed and it exhausted a few healers so we are taking small vacations before we begin education for the new cathedral to be built in Genesis." It made a lot of sense. The education of new nuns and healers for a new cathedral would be very tiring. Especially since the high priest was going to be in Genesis to find two people that would take over his position and the new cathedral's operations. 

"But get this, Alice has been talking. Someone heard her say a full sentence yesterday!" The fact that this was gossip to the nuns and healers was not missed by Walker. However, it was amazing because they were so used to Alice rarely speaking a single word due to her skills causing the light to be affected. Overall it was fairly surprising.
