Master Of None

Chapter 1236 – 1236. Personal Project?

"You all look pretty happy. What happened?" Remey was the last one home and found the entire party in the dining hall by the fire relaxing. 

"Long story short they caused a big mess and are finally cleaned up. Training was a little rough. I had to train alone since they were pretty much tapped out." Gil still felt it necessary to tease everyone a bit. It made sense since he felt a little left out after not being able to work on his dagger arts under pressure. 

"If you need to get beat up I can work on my skills with you. I have been in the lab all day and need to burn off some steam." Remey tried to do her boxer's bounce from side to side but her body betrayed her. They all saw that she stumbled slightly from how much mana and energy she had burned. 

"Maybe in the morning. I will be up early to send off my archers. They have their own goals and three of them are leaving with a merchant to guard them and work on their long range sniping." Since Gil had to do this, Remey thought it would be good to add in that training. 

"Just don't train too hard. I got a message from Clara that we have to go and meet her in our best gear tomorrow night. Apparently, she needs help with the announcement starting the guild quests for the competitions. The notices were posted but that was all. People don't know details and it will be a big deal. I expect the guards to have some extra work tomorrow." Walker knew it was a little short notice but no one had made other plans. They looked forward to seeing Clara too since she was always so busty and they did not head to the guild building as often as they could. 

The rest of the party readily agreed and decided to meet right in front of the Genesis building when they needed to meet up with Clara. The rest of the night was quick since they were all fairly tired and needed sleep to get ready for the next day. 

"What are you working on out here?" Walker found that Onyx was not at the cathedral and was actually outside in the morning sun as it rose. He thought that Onyx was just relaxing and absorbing the light elemental mana but he found that the dragon golem was also there. It had been helping out in the forges and the fire spirit that called it home had been greatly enjoying the experience. 

"Brother! I was training. The golem is much tougher than the ground so I can see how well I can make my light and darkness spikes." The golem proceeded to swing its tail and crack one of the shadows that had ford in to a spike in half. "I realized that they are too weak because I have no idea how to condense them equally. I have the skills to condense the light elemental mana because I train it with Alice. But I have fallen behind. I might need this while exploring." 

"That's a good idea. If you fell behind then you would have some trouble with one of the things you should be the best at." Walker was very impressed that Onyx had managed to realize this and taken the time before they left to prepare. He also knew that Onyx was taking this as seriously as possible. But what was even more surprising was that he found the dragon golem and the fire spirit to train with him. It was an opponent none in the party had actually trained against very much. That meant that Onyx was also broadening his horizon with training partners. 

"Condensing the light is easy since it is in the air and the warmth. But the shadows are harder since they fluctuate more than the light. But if I use my own shadows it is easier. I think that there is a connection with my mana and my shadow already since I hide my true size there." The connection that Onyx felt was indeed this. He was an abyssal serpent and their nature let them hide within shadows. Since that was the case he would always have some of his mana bleeding away in to his shadow. 

"Are you joining us? Or do you have places to go?" Onyx wanted to keep training this way but knew that Walker might end up adding some positive insights. 

"I was actually going to head toward the market and grab a few things. I wanted to see how everything was growing and if there were more people around with unique items. I also have to stop by the wandering blacksmiths to tell him about the dragons and them coming to visit. He will have to do the teaching since he is the best around. That, and he made the circlets we gifted the dragons." It was understandable that Walker would need the wandering blacksmith. He was not confident in making anything near the quality of the wandering blacksmith whose title and works were renowned. 

"Then good luck and say hello for me!" Onyx had also met with the wandering blacksmith recently for a personal project. Unknown to the rest of the party, Onyx had been taking on small jobs here and there between training and meeting with various adventurers to find information. He didn't want to rely on everyone else for gold to spend. Not that the rest of the party would avoid giving it to him. But he still wanted to rely on himself. 

"I will, good luck. And I'm glad you are enjoying the golem. Remember that you have a one of a kind dwelling golem. Maybe with your hello, you can share your experiences with other spirits." An excited buzz rang through the dragon golem after it thumped its tail on the ground. Walker just gave a wave and headed away.
