Master Of None

"Su?" Walker had been wandering about again after getting some rest. He had tried his best to sleep as much as possible because he felt that he would be unable to avoid participating in a battle during the matches soon to begin.

"Oh! I didn't think you would be around here. The armor shops are selling things like crazy so I wanted to look at some and get inspiration for improvements I might want for my armor. I have been trying to train a few more skills related to elemental affinity." Su was a little shy about telling this to Walker. He was miles ahead of her when it came to the study of elemental mana.

"That's a great idea! I bet I could learn a few things too since so many people tried new ideas during the competitions." Walker, on the other hand, did not see any issues with Su training her affinities. It was only natural since she would slowly awaken every elemental affinity to match him and Midnight.

"Your armor has some elemental runes now but not the same as my eternal orb can make natural mana. You should look to get your armor recarved with the dragon and origin hybrid runes." Walker knew that the ideas behind them were not perfect yet. However, having those runes would make things much better for Su's training.

"I was thinking that as well. But where I was lost was the design I may be comfortable in. I have a feeling that my body is going to change slightly as I acclimate to the dragon bloodline. I need to be able to grow in to it." The dragonkin had defined muscles so Su expected to gain a little more muscle as well. Especially since she was a draconic guardian. She was literally guided to become tougher.

"I see, that's a good idea. I feel like Onyx and Midnight are hitting growth spurts again too so it wouldn't be surprising if all of us had one too." The fact that they were all not done growing was pretty apparent. Walker had gotten a lot taller recently because of their training and consistent nutrition. They were slowly beginning to look like the top adventurers they were destined to be.

"You noticed too? Midnight has added at least an inch on to the wingspan she had before. It's amazing. I swear she is growing when we spar together. I can almost see it." The two laughed while passing by many crowded merchants selling armors.

"That looks good there. It would help you a lot." Walker saw an armor with special places to attach weapons and gear.

"If I had something like that on my arms and back I could attach my shields so I don't have to hold one or both at a time." The twin shields already had ways for Su to hold them to free her hands, but they were not as secure as she might have wanted. "And if I add that, then I will be able to also carry a small bag on my hip."

The small metal hooks that Su spotted were made to fill the creases within the armor so that it would act as a slight guard in the weak points while also retaining the mobility. The best part was that Su could carry small mana potions with her to help her maintain her strength without needing to be near Walker or Remey to hand them to her.

"I would say you are right and right. The wandering blacksmith could probably add those in less than an hour. But the real question is what else do you want to add? There are too many options." Some armors that Walker was looking at were themed sets.

"That one is made to mimic thorns to people that attack you get hurt too. That one mimics high mobility for speedy blocking. That one has mirrors on it to reflect light and blind people. It's crazy how many armors are out here now!"

"Don't get too attached to those. The thorn design is great for counter attacks, yes, but it has too many small openings. The mobility is good on that armor, but it can't block heavy attacks. And that armor…weak and just flashy. Forget any idea of stealth because I will get beaten to a pulp by every monster within the continent." Su was very harsh, criticizing the designs. Yet, that was what she needed.

"Actually, here's an idea. When you have your armor improved, have Fleur help. If we can make it so any elemental spirit can dwell within it, then you will have a wide array of help." Su's earth spirit partner seemed to take a little offense to that after popping out of the earth dwelling shield. However, it wanted Su to be safe and would not argue with that.

"I can do that, but my partner will get first chance every time." Su ensured that she appeased her partner. She had not been battling with the earth spirit's assistance lately. But in the battles of the coliseum, she planned to truly let loose to show off her skills.

'What do you think about that super heavy stone armor? It's made for pure defense and magic defense. Nothing else. I can't even understand how someone could move with that on!" Walker was caught by another set of armor ahead of them. Su could only grin as she saw it too and began to analyze how she would and would not be able to use it. This was a fun outing that she had not expected to enjoy so much.

"I would say that the person wearing it is immobile or barely able to move. It's for people like Barry if he would ever wear real armor." Su laughed again as she found the idea of Barry wearing armor hilarious.
