Master Of None

Walker moved toward the five who were still standing in place. They had not heard which of the heroes or guests would be training with them and did not want to head to their own area without them. 

"My name is Walker. I am the leader of the omnipotent party. I will be training with you, are you all ready?" The five looked at him completely expressionless. Walker was slightly put off since they didn't even react.

"I am the squad leader. Please follow us to our respective training area." The squad of four followed the fifth who was apparently the leader. Walker was also quick to follow and was not deterred when the group headed up a series of vines on the wall. 

Walker's jungle step had him right next to the unnamed squads' leader who was still expressionless. They had trained for a long time to hide their expressions and were not easily shaken, however, this did not mean they were calm within their minds.

After climbing the vines for some time Walker was surprised to find that the ceiling had a criss crossed vine pathway going over the entire training area. Furthermore, there were vines that held platforms in place making it a very tough course to maneuver. This would have been an impossibility for anyone but Walker and Scylla who had the best skill in moving on uneven terrain like this. 

"This is where the elite enforcers tasked with becoming the queens' personal enforcers train." The squads' leader was looking at Walker with a lot of seriousness. They had not welcomed anyone up here other than the current elites that guarded the queen herself. They would one day be responsible for any quest the queen spilled out. 

"So that is why you did not announce your name. I assume you all keep this as a secret to protect the queen and her goals?" Walker saw the five trainees nod in unison. He could tell that their training was the harshest and would need to be more geared toward challenging quests. 

"What do you all feel weak on at the moment? I won't pretend to know what you have all done and what you need without understanding where you are now." Walker was planning to teach them what they needed instead of what they had already done.

"Our masters are not currently around and we have been unable to take any notes from them. They are busy with their positions and will usually give us tasks. We each hold a different system to cover our weaknesses." Walker was glad to hear this. That meant that they all had their own weak points and knowing them would be the best start. 

"Then how about I make some fire dolls for us to battle against. We can then train against each other and them. This will be an everyone against everyone battle." Walker thought that starting off this way was best. He immediately asked for some burnable items which the trainees rushed off to grab. He began making one flame doll from the wood and straw he had in his inventory while he waited for them. 

Meanwhile, Gil found himself with the other arcane marksmen. He had ended up in a training area nearer to Scylla than he expected. This wasn't a major problem since there was plenty of space but he was sure to keep an eye out for new things he could learn. Scylla was doing the same. 

Some of the familiar faces Gil saw were those that had been in the archery training area before. He was happy that he wasn't meeting all new elves but couldn't help but feel slightly intimidated by the thirty that were there. 

"First things first. As some of you may already know I am an arcane marksman as well. I gained the system from a quest to upgrade my previous system. I have seen how you are able to make arrows and I want to show you how I make my mine. Then we will fire them and compare results. The more the better. If anyone starts to get bored we can have a one on one sparring match to wake up." Gil said this last part was a small threat to those whose eyes were already glazing over. 

Now that Gil could see that there were indeed some slackers here he wanted to push a little harder, but he first had to gain their attention. " I have a water elemental mana crystal here. Most of you require multiple to safely make an arrow. But I just need one." This was enough to draw their attention. 

Gil proceeded to take a normal wither spike arrow and begin to infuse the water elemental mana in to it. He shocked every elf but for those that had already seen this when the crystal fell in to small shards and the water elemental mana was perfectly kept within the wither spike arrow. 

He looked at their faces and notched the arrow, they all watched as the water elemental mana was heightened before he fired it at a nearby training dummy. As the water elemental mana cause a large ice spike to expand and pierce the dummy they were all shocked. "Now my wither spike arrow may not allow the strength that your arrows do. I will give you that, but can your arrows be used again?" Gil went and pulled the arrow from the ice.

The arcane marksmen trainees were shocked to watch him start to channel earth elemental mana in to the wither spike arrow next. They never were able to use an arrow a second time due to the way they made theirs. It was a huge flaw for them but since they had the resources it was never an issue. 

"The question I present to you, how can you make an arrow that will last for more than one shot?" Gil fired the newly formed earth elemental wither spike arrow then walked to retrieve it. The third time he infused it with fire. The elves had their jaws on the floor.
