Chapter 1231 - 1231. Let's Train!

"What was all that noise out there?" Walker had heard the yelling from the hallway while he, Onyx, and Alice went to find Su and see if she wanted to move to the back courtyard and train. 

"Well, Midnight managed to find a little boy that unlocked a sword saint system. So I expect the city will be pretty loud for a few months." This caused Walker to raise an eyebrow and look down at Midnight. Even Su seemed excited about this even though she was a shield user. The idea of a very high level system being discovered was interesting and frankly cool. 

"So that's where you were. I thought you had ditched us and didn't want to train. Of all the people to test Onyx, I expect it to be you." Midnight looked at Onyx and gave a slightly judging stare. She growled slightly in challenge which caused a few hisses from Onyx. The two stared each other down which was a little comical since they would never actually hurt the other. 

"Oh good. You are here this time. Now I won't need to ask for someone to come and fix the mess they make." The high priest was walking outside with a cup and teapot in hand. He was clearly out to take a break after the first concert. It didn't seem that he was very tired and all in all, he appeared in better health than usual. The atmosphere and increase in healers seemed to be taking a lot of stress off his shoulders as he neared retirement. 

"Have they really been making that much of a mess? I can set up a room in the mansion for them to help the heavenly serpent if you think that will make it easier. Then they can train and take care of the egg without worry." Walker wanted to keep the high priest happy too. 

"No! No, I can't have them leaving. The other nuns and healers love watching them. I even had a few people become inspired by them and take on new duties around here. It's good to have some energy around." It was very true that many had stopped to watch onyx and Alice train. What the high priest didn't say was that five people that week had been able to unlock a light or healing based system by watching the two train. It was extremely impressive and helped the city as a whole. 

"Then we are good to go and see how much they have improved." Su pulled her twin shield off her back and clanged them together. She was very energetic now that she had chatted for a bit and seen something fun. She wanted to get right in to it and see what had changed and what new skills she could work on. The focus she had was already driven by the royal dragon court but it had increased the entire journey back. 

Almost as if someone had called them. A group of nuns and healers seemed to appear around the edges of the courtyard to look over the walls or fences. The high priest took a seat on the small bench nearby. He was smirking as if he had predicted all of this from start to finish. However, he did not know what would be in store. There were more people participating this time. More pressure. More ways that those training before his eyes could change and learn. More ways to inspire others. 

Onyx changed his size and looked at Su who was much smaller in comparison even though she was still much larger than the average young woman. She had the stature to block some of the strongest hits while maintaining her footing. But even more than that, she had the will and aura of a dragon beyond her. 

"I don't want this to be too easy. So, let's make this a mixture of light and darkness elemental mana." Walker was tossing aside his apprehension for those watching. He instead channeled the light and darkness elemental mana around them. The sun was still uneven in the sky so there were plenty of shadows and spots of light that made the little courtyard ideal for conflicting elemental manas. 

The shadows seemed to extend while the patches of light grew brighter. Just a small amount of Walker's mana was able to change the environment to a degree that would both enhance and challenge those who were using the two elemental manas. But what they did not expect was for Walker to be nowhere around them. They had clearly seen him call out and raise his hand. Yet when everyone tried to look at him they found nothing. 

"Walker, playing tricks already!?" Su slammed her shield together and charged at Onyx. the light enveloping her shield and adding an extra layer. Multiple skills folding on each other to cause her defensive prowess to increase. What was, even more, was the fact that she seemed to speed up. It was as if a weight had been lifted off her and her muscles were as good as new after walking around for the day so far.

Naturally, Onyx used the shadows and the light elemental mand in tandem. He felt it cover his scales as he copied Midnight's skeletal armor. But when horns of darkness elemental mana formed and sharp spines of light covered his back, everyone was in awe. It seemed that the skill he had used before had taken a new form. He had been training it to a perfect state slowly but surely and was now proving that the training was exactly what he had needed. 

"Brother, wherever you went, I will take you down after I beat sister and Su!" Onyx screamed mentally in a battle hardened state. He whipped his mana encased tail at Su as she approached.
