Master Of None

"Walker is trying to gather mana from the air and use it in his body, right? Like the dragons?" Gil was chatting with Remey. The two had finally stopped arguing while they walked since they had gotten tired of the same run around.

"Pretty sure that's it. He keeps looking at the royal dragons were are meditating and walking at the same time. It's kind of weird but they are dragons so they are going to be different." Remey just shrugged her shoulder at this. She felt that this was to be expected. Walker would eventually be closer to the dragons as time went on.

"But isn't that kind of important? He said that the angels absorb and use the mana around them naturally by bringing it in through their wings. That could be why Alice had all those problems with light mana. She used her mana because she was too close to the mana in the air and couldn't absorb it. But she made her own mana because she's human. Makes sense right?" Gil felt that his theory was very solid.

"I don't see why you think this matters? They are different situations. If Alice learns to take mana from  around her too that's great but she already has Horizon to help her. We all have our elemental spirits helping us now or something else." There wasn't a point in sight when it came to this conversation. Remey just wondered why Gil was so focused on it.

"That is it though. What if we can do the same while still making our own mana? Could you make potions ten times longer if you could do that? I could launch a hundred more arrows at enemies. Su could make her light healing shield larger. There's so much more too. We should be watching and learning so that we can train the same thing."

There was a slight pause in Remey's steps as she looked back at Walker who had begun to walk slightly slower and with a less straight pace having to constantly readjust himself.  "So we should make a human version of dragon and angel mana absorption and usage. Store elemental mana in our bodies since we have spirit marks and use mana from the air with less and less use of our own mana because we are already connected to the mana in the air."

"We have to keep up. Walker and everyone else will get way too ahead of us." Gil knew that this was true. He could feel that Walker was about to break through again. Remey had been focused on potion and he on arrows. Not He and Remey had to catch up again to the others. But they had their ways. Remey had her elemental fists and Gil had the high elf dagger techniques. It was time for them to break through to a higher level as well.

While Gil and Remey just looked back at Walker, Walker was in a different situation. It wasn't often that people focused on themselves. Their deepest thoughts and basic emotions. This alone was off since normally a mage would meditate to understand their flow of mana and the way that their elemental affinity reacted with the world so that they could better understand it.

Now that walker was focusing on his instincts, it was different. He was having trouble maintaining the path they were on. Mostly because he did not have the same instinctual awareness as the others which left him stumbling. It also left him splitting his attention and losing the small feelings of catching on more and more.

The single thing that he had grasped for the moment was the feelings he had of where people were. He knew that he had his family in front of and behind them. His party was always going to be his family that he would defend and that would defend them. But that emotional connection made him keep track of them subconsciously. It was something that Walker had somewhat realized before this.

The more that Walker tried to grasp that feeling, the more he understood that it wasn't a trained feeling. It was an instinct that he was chasing. The desire to protect family was something that came naturally. If he cared for someone, they would always be in his sights. This was what a father would feel for a child or a mother would feel for a child. It came naturally but most people thought of it as just emotional. But that wasn't fully true.

As Walker felt that single thing reach his mind fully, he started to feel many other things. He was closer related to dragons, abyssal serpents, and natural mana now. He had those bonds that shared things with him and vice versa. How could he think of himself as just having human emotions and instincts?

The scents around him along with the sounds seemed to double in just that moment of understanding. Meanwhile, Walker felt like his body was growing hotter. As if he was finally releasing pent up mana and understanding from his bonds.

The sense that there were powerful beings near him were from both Onyx and Midnight. It was like a sixth sense that came from the basic feelings of mana, sounds, sight, and scent all around him. There was the deeper connection to mana in general provided by Fleur. Walker already had sensed it but not to this degree. It was as if he had been representing the true degree of what he could feel because he had not bothered to properly look at all sides of it.

'The passive skill instinct release has been taken from the beast man system. The user has learned the passive skill instinct release.

Instinct release- passive

The instincts that humans had learned to repress for many generations are always there. Many lose sight of them until they are under great stress or they are trained to get closer to them. Some humans fully understand them over time and can use them. This skill is the full release of instincts so that the user can grasp things beyond their normal actions.

Any human or living being can learn to return to their instincts if trained properly, regardless of system, age, and other factors. The process will result in similar skills, some passive and other not. But the basic instincts will be released and the user will be able to better understand themselves and the world they interact with.'

The information from the system was not the clearest. Walker could still not understand what he had unlocked. But in the next second it was like a bomb going off in his mind. He was suddenly stimulated by much more. His mind was focusing on the smallest crackles of leaves under foot. His eyes picked up smaller details and every tiny piece of grass moving. Even the feelings of his heartbeats were larger and more intense.

This wasn't even considering the mana that was flowing around and through him. Walker could feel it all much more than before. It was similar to a dense liquid all around him just waiting on his attention. Waiting for a dam to be broken down.

The bonds between Midnight, Onyx, and Fleur flared to life even more powerful than before. Walker felt that he was understanding things much better. The bonds were just some ties to his soul. They were a channel so that he could learn from those he was related to and them from him. They were a pure connection of nature that let them all understand each other well beyond what was normal.

Yes, they all understood this, but at a base level. Now, Walker was feeling it to his very core. His soul seemed to rejoice at this. The freedom that he felt and the understanding of where his emotions, additional instincts, and many other things came from. Walker had changed since he started his adventures. He had been influenced by his family, party, and these bonds. But they were his power, his strength. They made him better and that was all he needed.

Midnight and Onyx stopped for a moment feeling this through their bond with Walker. They could feel his emotions fluctuating. Even Su could sense it slightly through Midnight. But Fleur was the most sensitive to this since she was resting in the spirit mark on Walker's body.

These feelings were the reason that many would advance over time, but right this second, Walker was using it to learn and adapt. The natural human adaptation was starting to flow as it should, the real thing Walker needed was time. But time was always something everyone wanted more of. Especially when Walker smelled a strange musky smell that he wasn't used to. With that was also a stronger iron smell that he could easily place.
