The vines that blocked their path moved again. Walker was not expecting the training area for magic to be so different than the training area of archery. However, instead of tree limbs and winding vines to run on and spar there were multiple areas in the large interior. Each area was made specifically for a certain elemental mana and was set up in a circular pattern. This let them overlap which allowed them to be used by mages that had an affinity for multiple elements.

The first thing that caught Walker's eye was the elves walking around with swords. They were like the swords that the elemental spell sword elf had when she ran past him. However, most of these spell sword system holders only carried one sword portraying one element or even no element at all.

"Those are the spell swords I was telling you about. Most will have a singular or dual elemental affinity letting them add that element to their strikes. But some are lucky to have no element or more than two elements." Alma followed his gaze and was happy to start to show off their strong elven spell swords.

"Wait, why would a spell sword without an element be powerful? Doesn't the element make them powerful?' Walker had caught on to this and felt that it was a strange interpretation of power.

"The ones without an element are not necessarily stronger in every situation, but they don't have the weakness to a specific element. If a fire element spell sword went against a water element spell sword they would be at a disadvantage. However, a fire element spell sword against a spells word without an element would stand on equal footing."

"So it is based on weakness then. So that elemental spell sword system has no weakness but every strength. I understand why that woman would be the commander. She could teach or adjust it for every single spell sword she commands." Walker saw the value and strategy in her being the commanding spell sword. It was only common sense to make her the leader.

"Exactly. If we don't let her show them the direct weakness and strength we would be shooting ourselves in the foot with an arrow." Alma used the common elf analogy and pointed toward one of the areas. "Those mages over there are the water elemental mages. They work very closely without water spirits. Based on your magic it might be good for you to visit them." Alma had only seen some of Walker's magic and still didn't fully understand his ability to use every elemental mana.

"I think I will sit here." Walker took some steps in to the training area. He walked around mages that were practicing basic control of their elemental mana and drew a few curious looks. Some teachers were reprimanding students for getting distracted by the wandering human.

Walker sat directly in the middle of the training area. He wanted to be in reach of every single kind of mana that was boosted within the training area. If he focused on one he could end up only practicing that one skill and leaving others out. So far he had practiced with the water, fire, and earth elemental manas. He needed to improve on darkness a little along with light. They were the next most practiced leaving wind elemental mana as the lesser of the bunch.

His first task was to start to understand the wind elemental mana that was condensed in the space around him. He had the goal of either learning a buffing skill or creating an attack similar to Gale's. If he was able to manipulate the wind to such a degree, then he would be able to prevent a large amount of ariel monster attack or even be used to propel another attack.

Walker reflected on the earth spike he had made and done just that with the wind. He had not practiced it and studied it, therefore, it had not shown itself as a skill. But it was a powerful attack that took some time to prepare. He had a pretty firm belief that if he managed to understand both elements better he would be able to get the system to give him the skill. Then when he go the skill he could use the attack much faster.

Alma watched him sit dead center of the training area. The only other elves that ever did such things were ones that could use every single element, like the elemental spell sword system user. The other mages also slowed themselves to watch out of the corner of their eye. They had wondered what the leader of the human party could do and this was an interesting twist of events.

Walker first started to control the wind element and make it rotate around his hand. The wind was very easy to make move but very hard to control once it became stronger. He had some good luck so far but as soon as he increased the speed of the rotation he found the wind would expand instead of staying in the one place he wanted.

Feeling a little annoyed by the wind's betrayal, Walker used more of his mana in his grand elemental manipulation skill. This time he was able to force the wind to stay in a tight spinning ring around his hand. The elves were surprised to see him practicing the wind element while sitting in the middle. This made them feel that he had misunderstood the purpose of the separate areas. The only mages that continued to focus on him were those practicing wind.

To the wind elemental mages, Walker's manipulations were a heavy shock. They had seen the wind break from him only twice before he reigned it in and controlled it. This was too fast of a pace for someone to start to understand the inner working of the element. They felt he must be using a skill to manipulate it in some way, like their skills.

Walker felt that he was on to something and made the wind form in to a tighter and tighter ring. It was pushing back much harder than he expected. Walker continued to add more mana to manipulate it until the wind was forced in to a green spinning ring of pure wind elemental mana.

'The skill wind halo has been taken from the sky angel system. The user had automatically learned the skill wind halo due to user action.

Wind halo- 7 mana cost

Condensed wind/air elemental mana will create a rotating halo around the user's specified body part. The halo will repel physical projectiles based on their weight in relation to the mana used in the spell. The user can add this spell to a physical projectile to either launch it or increase its speed.'

Walker read the system notification and smiled. He had managed to get a different skill than he intended but a very useful one. If he made an earth spike with his high earth sculpting then add this spell he could launch it at high speeds. He was basically performing archery with magic.

Walker started to use his high earth sculpting to form a spear out of the earth. The earth elemental section held a lot of earth and parts of stone from training, they began to move towards Walker and from in to a simple spike. However, Walker was not content with this. He wanted to do more than just a spike. If he made the shape different it could move better and even be aimed better.

The high earth manipulation began to work its magic as Walker imagined the spike gaining fins like an arrow. The points became a rounded arrow head that came to a point like a cone. The tougher rocks were made in to the earth spike solidifying and condensing it. In a matter of minutes and some extra mana, Walker had created an earth arrow out of dirt and stone.

The earth mages training nearby felt the mana around them being pulled away and looked on. They saw the strength in Walker's control and realized that they were witnessing him use two of the elements at once. The wind mages and the earth mages immediately came together to theorize on what was happening. This was an interesting topic that again drew the attention of most mages in the area from their studies.

Alma was watching intently as Walker was bringing together the mages to speak to each other without the express intention. They would rarely work together on joint fusion magic for the simple reason that they wanted to increase their understanding of their own elements. With the earth and wind elemental mages trying to understand Walker's intentions and Alma watching, Walker began to add more mana to the spells. This caused a murmur to go through the room.
