Master Of None-Chapter 1610 1610. Heated Training

"Is this really what we have to do?" Gil was a little shocked watching Walker form the third ice wall. The water mages had to work extra hard and then leave all the weight on Walker.

"It's what was needed. I doubt I could have done anything like this with my fists. But I am pretty sure I could break a rock of two." Remey had even been brought up to the top of the ship. The main reason being the mana potions that she had brought from the alchemy lab. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

The moment that this stop had been made and the plan settled, many people went to the alchemy lab. The other alchemists that were hard at work were commanded by Remey to focus solely on mana potions since the mages would need them most of all if there was another collapse. There were also the earth mages that would be working much harder to push the river bank back after the clearing.

"It's just that there is so much work at once. It will make things slower but I think we would be better off taking longer to do this." Gil knew that getting to the ocean and heading to the new continent to tackle two big problems was more important. But he also felt that this was being hasty.

"You really need to get over it. I think you are upset that you can't do much with your arrows here. It's the same issue with my fists. They have skills and magic that affects a larger area. We don't and if you fired your more dangerous arrows, just like my explosive potions, they would cause more problems." Remey put her foot down and stopped Gil from being jealous of how useful others' skills were compared to what he could do.

"And shouldn't you be training instead of sitting here watching? I thought you were close to some breakthrough. Walker was saying just the other day that you wanted to show off your elven dagger style to Alma. But here you are, not getting closer to it." Gil felt like an arrow had shot him instead of him firing an arrow. Remey had hit him hard.

"Fone, then we will train. You already helped with the mana potions. You can train with me. I will use daggers and you can overheat yourself again with flames. I know that your fire resistance still needs training. You just won't admit that your body isn't getting tougher." The response that Gil had was mostly just to annoy Remey back. Unfortunately, he had hit a sore spot.

Since Remey had bonded with her partner even more deeply, she had gained much easier usage of flames. She also gained a better control of flames. Yet, this did not translate in to how well she could resist her own flames. Yes, there was a major boost in her resistance. That was not enough though. When Remey channeled stronger flames to fight, she found that she would still begin to burn her body. It was not natural for her to burn when she had a strong bond with a grand elemental spirit.

The issue that Remey had come up with was that she needed to become more accustomed to fire. She had not had an affinity until she had bonded with a fire spirit. The changes from fire spirit to alchemy fire spirit had just delayed her acclimation to this. Instead of strengthening her body in the respect to flames, she had instead focused on alchemy knowledge. It was a lapse in her training that she had been trying to fix. She had seen her own weakness and her weakness was a strength that she had been growing.

Seeing that there was a commotion and a potential battle to watch, a few of the resting soldiers had stopped what they were doing. The stoppage of the ship had brought Scylla out of her rest to see the progress as well. When she saw that there was a group setting up to watch a battle, she was attracted as well.

"I can say that you two will need a judge for your training battle. I have slept enough so it's better that I take the lead here." Gil and Remey don't mind seeing that Scylla wanted to step in. It was already decided that they would be fighting here.

"Both of you have a little too much energy since we aren't moving along. So, let's see what we can do about that." Scylla motioned for the soldiers around to create a large open space for Remey and Gil. The ship was large enough for multiple people to train on top. But this was mostly so that there would be space to fight anyone that boarded the ship, specifically, monsters that might board the ship.

"Come on arrow boy. Show me what you can do with a little dagger. I bet you are still stuck where you were when you fought Walker." Remey had no idea what level Gil was at when it came to combining the high elf dagger technique, but she would find out.

"Fine then, I will bring you down easily. Just have a few healing potions ready. I'm sure you will need them." Gil's speed was expected. Remey had known that he was agile from the very first day that they had met. It had always been a fact.

When Gil approached, he flowed lower to the ground before firmly stomping his feet on the ground to push the dagger in his hand toward Remey. The upward slash had a strength behind it that came directly from the stone elf's stance when using a dagger. Gil had copied it perfectly from the books he had read.

Remey's reaction had to be to doge. She knew that she had decent defenses and could potentially use her elemental knuckles to deflect it. However, she could tell that the strength in the dagger was enough to damage an elemental knuckle if she was not careful. Two tough weapons colliding never left one unharmed.

What Gil did not expect was that Remey had not countered with her fist after dodging. She had instead bent her back and kicked upwards. This kick was enough to hit his chest and force him to step back out of his stance. Remey was able to perfectly reset in to a boxer's bouncing motion waiting for Gil to try and get close again.

The flexibility in Remey's battle style had been birthed from her constant brawling. She was a brawler for a reason, she had learned to fight in different positions. Since she had trained with Su more and more, she had accepted her flexibility to attack in odd angles. This was her best form of attack against the well defended Su. attack odd areas with strange angles so that she could damage undefended portions of Su's body.

As flames began to ignite on Remey's knuckles and trail around her, Gil knew that he had to increase his speed. Using the wind elf dagger technique, he heightened his steps. He also made his movements light and bouncy before he thrust downwards with both daggers. The attack was full of blatant fury, the core of the flame elf dagger techniques.

"That Was too easy to read!" Remey shouted and deflected the daggers. The deflection left Gil open to her follow up jab but his daggers had grazed Remey's arm. They both left the encounter with damage.

But Gil did not stop. He pushed forward with a flurry of dagger attacks. They were fast and nearly blinding as he turned each dagger to reflect the light. This was a direct use of the environment, it was the light elf dagger technique that used the reflection of sun to blind their opponents. It had been extremely challenging to learn but very valuable.

Unfortunately, Remey responded with a combination of punches and a swift kick. She might have scratches from ducking and dodging but she left bruises on Gil as well. The two were heating up more and more while they fought out their training frustrations.

"You are just mixing broken movements still. Leaving openings." Remey was slightly out of breath after forcing herself to keep up with Gil's changing styles.

"And you are not paying attention to the flames that burn through the air and graze your skin. They might close your scratches but they also burn you up." Gil had seen the trails of flames that Remey fought with around her. They were not controlled.

"Fine, then I will show you more." Remey knew that the two of them were going to exploit their weaknesses. It was the perfect way to forge their bodies. To train themselves to develop against their own weaknesses. It was also how everyone watching their battle realized that they sounded angry with each other because they were angry with themselves. That they were perfectly helping the other to become stronger overall. It was inspiring. It made Scylla grin.
