Master of none - Chapter 2214: perfectly Working Theory
“Wait, where are you going with those kids?” Gil spotted Walker and his band of seven kids who had been on their way to learn a few things about potential classes they could pursue. Instead, Walker had found their teachers and taken them for a special lesson.
All the while, Erica was meeting the elven and echidna children who were much more interested in befriending a little dragon than whatever lesson the hero wanted to show them. Not that they weren’t excited for the sudden change in plans.
This was much more fun.
“I heard that some of the teachers got a day off since they were going to show off some of the newly documented classes.
But you are the reason they aren’t now? Today was a day where they would learn about the forest archery class that they could get if they had the time to learn it.”
“Isn’t that the class you were supposed to visit last week when Alma was ready to yell at you for going off and doing other things?” Walker haad the perfect counter to Gil.
“That’s not what we are talking about here and you know it. Spill it, what are your plans?” there wasn’t much that could fool Gil.
especially when he knew that Walker was just trying to get him flustered to make their walk faster.
“Let’s get to the mana sealed room first.
I set up a special stone room that was once a temporary storage area for tools. I had some rune carvers isolate it so that mana was more or less repelled form flowing around it easily.
With my mana control, I can alter the mana inside completely.”
Now Gil was lost.
He knew that Walker could completely stop mana from flowing in a certain direction. Even halt someone else from using the surrounding manas if he desired it.
That was just the height of his understanding of manas overall. A level no one else had on the world right now.
“Just listen and learn along with the students today. I chose the elven children and the echidna children small class because they all have a closer feel for their natural affinities than what many other races have at a younger age.
And, everyone here doesn’t have a class so this might help them choose their own paths better.”
“Yes sir hero!” The response made Gil shake his head.
Walker had the kids backing him up so it was what it was.
The small room was a decent size.
Everyone stood inside easily and could see where the temporary tool racks had been when there was building within the area. All that remained were the finished products and the small hut itself.
All made of stone which was newly carved with runes by the rune carvers.
“So, lesson time! Erica, you too.
You are a student just like them. You just have a little more to learn.”
Erica huffed slightly in agreement since she was also very interested to see how the others would use what she had already spent time with Walker doing as a game before.
“Your affinities, I am sure that you all have learned them.
And I also know that all of you have more than one affinity.” Walker made it clear that this was the focus of the lesson now.
“Because I knew all of you had multiple affinities, I wanted to teach you the strength of those affinities.”
“Yes, a question.”
Walker caught one of the young elves wondering what Walker meant.
“I just have a weaker fire affinity and a stronger earth affinity.
So that’s all I need to know, right?”
“Yes and no. Yes, you know which affinity you might focus on to guide your future path.
No, it’s not all the information you might want. Especially when it comes to the exact strength of your second and first affinities.
”
“For example, Erica and I were playing with wind and light mana. She is able to use a very strong seventy percent wind mana and thirty perfect light mana.
While she can not wield it at her age, she can absorb wind and light manas in those balances much better. Because that is the exact strength of her two affinities.
Can anyone guess our goal today? Why this is important?”
Walker saw multiple answers come at him while he saw Gil’s eyes widen.
“You managed to find a way to create the perfect environment for anyone.
Better than just runes, but a specific and ideal way to grow, learn, and use those manas.” Gil was ready to make Walker explain it all out more clearly so he could get someone to record it all.
It would be very important.
‘I am testing it now.
Also helping these kiddos to find a better understanding of what they might want from their futures.” Walker pointed at the boy who had asked first while everyone watched.
The mana in the room shifted and only fire and earth remained. Walker slowly changed the values of the earth mana with a weakening fire mana.
Both were dense because of his control, but the boy suddenly got more energetic and had a look of awe on his face.
“So you have a ninety percent earth mana and a ten percent fire mana affinity.
Not very strong as a second affinity, but knowing that. You can ensure that you focus yourself on goals that would utilize that mix of manas.
Potentially finding a class that best suits your usage of those two manas in that mixture.”
“Can anyone tell me why this is very important to know if you become someone like a mage in the future?” Walker saw a smaller echidna girl look at him.
“If I use mana balanced to match my affinity, I can grow an entire forest like my mom did. She helped and said that I can do it too even though I don’t use natural mana like grandma.”
“That is exactly right.
But more specifically, if you use mana that matches your affinities, you will be able to ensure that every single magic skill you use is perfectly aligned with your will and your body itself. A perfect match to who you are.
That means it will act like another part of your body, potentially.”
That was the feeling that Walker slowly guided them all to feel.
The perfect match to their manas. The perfect match to their affinities.
A feeling that would ingrain itself within them so that they could better use their affinities throughout their entire lives.
“Will it be hard for Erica to grow without having the mana balanced the right way around her?” One of the young elf girls had caught on to this worry since she understood that Walker was trying to find an ideal way for them all to grow.
And since the little hatchling was their new friend, it was only right to be concerned.
“No issue at all.
It just means that she will grow slowly. Every dragon born with multiple affinities learns about those affinities themselves.
They have no teachers since they are not pure elemental dragons with one affinity. Does that make them weak? No, just gives them a longer path.
”
“However, Erica knows her affinities and one day should be able to bring the manas in the air to her in that balance. Or, we can work with very talented rune carvers to make a unique rune formation that perfectly matches her affinities.
Allowing her to always have a small place to go with perfect manas balanced to her and her alone.”
The children asked a few more questions while Walker was sure that they all had a lot to think about.
A few of them had even sat down and started to meditate right then and there. They had grasped an aspect of themselves much more powerfully than before.
They had to accept it
Inside and out.
“You know that you have to share this with everyone.
Especially with this as the result.” Gil’s focus was on how this would cause another wave of change within Genesis.
“I think that I need to find some talented mages and rune carvers to build formations to test this now. It will take a lot of work but will be well worth it.”
Many thoughts of how Walker could use this as part of the academy building plans came to his mind. He wanted to push through time and see it all finished already.
If he did that though, he would miss out on all the fun surrounding it. He needed to take it slow and enjoy the life he was building here.
He had plenty of time to do so, so why rush it and let it waste away?
