Master Of None

Focusing on who would be stronger with light elemental mana was not the goal Walker had though. Instead, he was supposed to be patrolling. However, he didn't see any issue in using the patrol to also train since there were multiple other patrol groups around along with the ship being very close by.

"I would say my light blade is less condensed compared to yours but I should be able to control it." Walker made a motion with his hands and the light blade he had created in the air was moved with it. "I just can't hold it like it's nothing. I need to manipulate it and use a little more mana to do so. Yours is easily held because of your song."

The intentions of Alice's singing were clearly an important aspect of her skills. Because she sang with the intention that the light blade she had created would be a held sword, then it was unable to harm the person holding it. Walker's was a different story.

The light blade or light spikes he made were controlled by mana. If he touched it then he had to use mana to move it still while keeping the shape. If he did not move it with mana then it would harm his hand. The condensed light elemental mana wants to escape being condensed. All condensed mana wanted that.

Alice further demonstrated that her light sword that she had created seemed to copy the way a normal sword acted by slashing at a nearby rock. The crisp ringing of mana was the similarity to metal that anyone would be able to pick up on. This single reason made it seem that the intention to create a sword made it have even more characteristics.

"Your singing really is amazing. Because you sing of swords made from light you have literal swords made of light. I wonder what would happen if you sang about flames of light? Would you get the same illusions as when you sing a healing song? Or would you get light that just looks like fire?"

"The same as healing." Alice's answer came and the sword of light in her hand dissipated pretty quickly. It was another lesson for Walker when it came to the mana not wanting to be condensed. Yet, as he looked at the mana in Alice's sword fade, it was quick. Almost as if it was just losing shape and still waiting for her to control it.

"The light mana still hangs out around you though. If I make a sword it dissipates and doesn't remain close. You have the light attracted to you so you can manipulate it much faster. I think that is a part of the saint of light, your innate affinity, and you're bound with a grand elemental spirit. It's the perfect storm of light based attraction." It was a real blessing when it came to being able to control light. Not many people would ever have so many things assisting their use of an elemental mana.

Hearing that Walker was using her songs to work out her relationship with the elemental mana and learn more made Alice very happy. She wanted to train with Walker so that she could see him analyze her skills and songs. It was the best way that she had found that she was able to expand her knowledge. Su had done much of the same thing.

The way that the attacks against Su's defenses were not physical and only magical made Alice feel that she should look for a weapon that channeled the elemental mana. If it did, then she would have the ability to have physical attacks even though she didn't have many attacks in general. But the magical attack being nullified would prove less dramatic if some damage was done. There was also the fact that her created attacks might remain for a little longer if she managed to have a physical core for them.

"Alight, start throwing it at me. I am ready to do a little training. I will try to stop your light blades and spikes. Then I can try to block them and manipulate the light mana defensively." The defensive use of light elemental mana was what attracted Walker most. Su had learned to create a secondary shield over hers that she could cause to grow and cover other people. It was able to help her heal to a small degree while also blocking physical and magical attacks. How could Walker not want to learn such a thing? It would be invaluable in the right situation.

"Get ready." Alice's soft and calm face scrunched up in toa serious expression that Walker could barely stop himself from smiling over. He would never get tired of her and how she looked when she was about to act seriously, He found it much too adorable. But what he didn't find adorable was that the light sword she had made appeared in her hand too fast. It was almost in a single breath.

Instead of attacking from a distance, Alice dashed forward and swung the sword in an arc toward Walker. This forced him to raise his hands and call the light mana. But no shield or blocking force appeared which made him need to jump away from Alice.

She didn't let up on Walker either. The single focus she had was to show him that she had begun to learn her own swordsmanship from her songs. The song she sang was full of low and high pitches. When Alice would dash forward or change her direction, she would drop to a low hum. It was nearly silent, but if Walker focused he could hear it.

The unfortunate part was, that when the song suddenly became high pitched and sharp, the attack was already coming. The slight blade would already be slashing down or at his side. Walker found it was actually more challenging than he would expect. That Alice was much faster than he had imagined.

"How can you be getting…Ha, that's how!" Walker looked down and saw that Alice had wrapped her feet in light. It looked like they were a pair of light boots but they were the reason for Alice's speed. She was literally buffing herself with her light armor. Just because she couldn't create a full armor set didn't mean that she couldn't create something. And boots made of light were perfect to boost her speed.

"Fine, then we get serious!" Walker saw a small smirk as Alice dashed toward him yet again. But this time, Walker had already gathered some of the mana copying how Alice had. Instead of a shield, he focused the mana on his hands. Like gloves, or better, gauntlets.

The natural mana that Walker used to assist him in speeding the condensation of light mana was very well used and the best idea he could have. The natural mana was able to manipulate the balance of mana around him which caused his hands to be coated in light twice as fast as he would without using natural mana.

The gauntlets that formed were similar to the pair that Su wore with her armor. Walker didn't have much in the way of creativity. He just went with something he was used to seeing as often as possible. This also made him use the mana much more efficiently because imagining the shape the light took was simpler for him.

When Alice saw that Walker was reaching out a light covered hand to catch her light sword, she tried to retreat. Yet, when she pulled back her sword was already caught. Walker found that it did not cut the gauntlet at all. "So you didn't intend to cut me just train with me. Well, I need to test the toughness so let's see what your sword can do." Walker released Alice's light sword and watched her distance herself.

The three other light blades that appeared within the air struck down toward him. Walker couldn't take the time to dodge since he had committed to testing the results of his light manipulation. Therefore, he turned his hands in to fists and struck out the same way he had seen Remey deflect attacks with her knuckles.

The light swords coming at him were trying to pierce him one by one in a perfect test of his defensive skills. Walker felt that he was flowing through the same motions Remey had used before. It was a mix of memory and bodily action. But when He came in contact with the first light sword, he felt that the light gave way a little. The sword was deflected but his gauntlet had been broken.

Therefore, the second attack would need much more focus. The second light blade that was coming at him would need to be deflected with even more light elemental mana if Walker didn't want to be cut. He had to get more serious.
