Master Of None

Chapter 2330: 2330. Better Understand Mana

While Remey was left behind, Scylla and Walker were heading toward the mage barracks. Within Genesis, everything had been built efficiently and moved around to be well suited for the best flow of use. That was just the advantage of having so many talented builders and other professions. They knew what needed to be done and where things needed to be.

In this case, when the magic tower came to be, everything related to mages were being changed. Not just the simple facts that there were barracks for the mages who wished to join the Genesis forces nearby, but also the adventurer's guild created a barracks for learning and training of magic proficient adventurers.

This was the same for some public areas that could temporarily house students and private students and teachers. Not everyone fits inside the box of an army or guild that was just life. Regardless, there were plenty of people who Scylla knew she could recruit through these

avenues.

Walker was already an attractive bait to use when growing her forces to include more mages. But aside from that, she could now offer unique insights on mana that Walker would be handing down right now and would continue to be shared by the mages who were already in her forces. The younger mages that joined would have the chance to learn these and grow within her forces.

The idea was good but Scylla also knew that this was a hard time to recruit forces. Genesis and all kingdoms were focused on development over many other things. Therefore, they were calling many people to arms to ensure safety. And with that came a great deal of benefits to those that signed contracts to work for a certain period of time.

For Scylla, her forces were majorly made up of demi-humans. That was simply because those were the forces she had always controlled and would always follow her. Demi-human forces were some of the most loyal because of the battles they had been through. All of the coliseum fights they went through to train themselves was not just for show, they were proof of their bonds.

With the additions of other races, Scylla's forces had only grown. However, she now led forces that were for the sake of Gneissi and not purely for the demi-human kingdom. As such, she was sending some of her forces to other kingdoms while maintaining one of the largest grapes on the Genesis army as a whole.

While some people would believe that this was a bad thing since so many people were loyal to one person, it was clear and very true that these forces understood who and why they were part of the army in general. Their dedication to the people of Genesis vastly outweighed that of one person or of any negative potential for greed or power.

"Listen closely! I am recruiting more mages for my forces. Squads are needed in the emergency response squads that will be stationed around the elemental rune teleportation formations. They will be leaving to defend whatever kingdoms are at risk at any hour of the day. To assist in making you the elite forces needed, the hero Walker will be hosting a lesson on understanding manas for all of you that join today!"

The already busy magic tower area and magic training areas were suddenly full of more noise than usual. To them, a special event had just begun. No, this was like a holiday celebration. Compared to the hustle and bustle that came with the forging competitions that were recently held to recruit even more promising blacksmiths, this was even more chaotic. So many of the promising new mages had just dropped what they were doing to begin their preparations. Even some healers had heard the loud announcement and began to call for their friends.

Just because it was a different form of magic, didn't mean that they had to join the cathedral. They could join whatever group they wished.

"A five year contract with no requirements to remain within my forces afterwards. That's enough to attract a few hundred mages, don't you think? They could even take that five years and become good enough to vie for the magic tower's highest positions? Right?" This was pure confidence from Scylla since she knew that this was what many of the mages were thinking.

While Walker could remember the young boy he believed would be making it to the top of the magic tower and becoming its master, that was just his best guess based on pure talent and hard work to understand elemental manas. Nothing said that it was a guarantee. So, it made a lot more sense that these young mages would be working harder than ever to make themselves a candidate. Not to mention the many magic based guilds forming.

There were elemental guilds wishing to build their own magic towers focusing just on their elemental manas. The joint magic tower guild would just be the bridge between them. A perfect place for those with multiple affinities or those that wished to maintain balance and harmony between mages that might butt heads.

As if planned out, many of Scylla's attendants had brought paperwork over and cleared an entire five training areas to recruit people. Walker wanted to ask if she was planning this in some way, shape, or form before she had realized that He could help others with magic skills enlighten themselves. But he also didn't feel that it would be worth pushing Scylla's patience right now.

It barely took an hour to have a large group of mages, and other magic based class users surrounding the largest center training area. Walker could only be amazed at how many people were looking to further their futures in this way. But he also could sense that some of them had immense talents.

He remembered that he was always fascinated by magic. Hence why he was so focused on the usage of elemental manas and mana in general when it came to what he worked on. Even though he could do anything to some degree, Walker knew that he was able to utilize magic skills that others would struggle to use or would never be able to use. In his mind, using those skills was the best way to fill the gaps where Genesis needed assistance.

Putting aside his own aspirations and goals, Walker looked at the mages silently waiting to hear what he might say. But Walker had no intention of giving some grand speech or explaining things verbally. That wasn't the best way to understand mana or magic in general.

"You should all know that magic is something without definition. You can identify a skill or a spell in some way. I know that. You know that. But what happens when you follow what's said and written? You will wonder why your magic does not work."

"Magic is about your understanding of your mana afif times. How they work with the world around you and how you can utilize it. You must sense everything and be able to understand what it means to you and the world. That will define your skills and the future of using those magic skills."

"That being said, you will all be meditating while Drawing condensed manas throughout this area."

Walker ended his introduction there and began to pull manas in. He wasn't just going to bring mana through elemental mana manipulation. He was going to mix the manas in balance so that every single understanding of manas that he had would be demonstrated.

How each elemental mana mixed in balances. How water and wind could make a cloud. How fire and water could make steam. How earth and wind could make sand. How all of it could come together in to natural mana which would spur life or death. Even some spatial mana would make everything more abstract.

The intricate weaving of manas would enhance their senses while allowing for those who had yet to come in contact with these situations could find a feeling, however small, that feeling would allow them a potential for faster growth. Or even better, it would allow them to grasp a key aspect of their own affinities for whatever manas they could feel.

What Walker had not realized, was that it was more than just a few mages who signed up to work under Scylla. There were some who had made their way to the edges of the training areas to sense the manas. Some representatives of Genesis who wanted to understand how strong

Walker was.

They didn't need to know in the sense that they wished to battle him. Instead, it was to put their and those they reported tos' minds at ease. The times were full of stress and worries. This could ease that weight on their shoulders.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
