"If I move any faster my spear will hit you!" Leon was sure that he could push the two in front of them further. He had not trained with many people recently other than his own warriors and the dragonkin. It had become repetitive so he had been thinking about breaking the pattern.

The moment he had heard that Remey and Gil had been training on the top of the ship between rotations of patrolling, Leon jumped at it. He looked around and saw that Midnight was seemingly practicing absorbing elemental mana but Mordant had just approached her. On top of that, he had spotted Su around as well. The idea had come like a wave.

Just a few words had brought Midnight in to the idea. She had just been told that she should use the darkness elemental mana that she had in a different way. Naturally, her excitement fueled her. And when Leon said he would try and hit her with his spear, Su had decided that it was an ideal chance to train her defensive skills and speed. Mordant had had an answer for that as well.

"As if!" The growl that escaped Midnight's maw was a mocking tone. The translation that the world did for everyone even brought the tones and intentions right to someone's ear. It was a perfect match for the way that Midnight used her childish features. She is proud and unreserved due to her young age. She didn't want to be beaten even if she came against the most powerful of all beings.

"Grasp the mana and move the moment you do. The mana is part of the world you are in. It will always be there, just let it help you." Mordant shouted at Su seeing that she had also heard Leon's claim.

With Midnight retorting and keeping the tension in their little match, Su couldn't let Midnight's words be ignored. They were a team in this and could easily defend against Leon's spears!

The next attacks were much faster. Leon had ramped up the speed as he trained his techniques well. He could only slowly go through the motions for so long before his body yearned to push faster. It was just something that anyone who had let the motions become ingrained within their muscles could do. This was second nature to him.

The spear that Leon shifted side to side while chasing Midnight around was still not coming in contact with her. However, with the encouragement, Su was focusing solely on her movements. Instead of trying to bash Leon, she was letting the spear that would have hit Midnight hit her shield. The result was a decent pushback making Su work harder to move back in to position.

This was in turn pushing Midnight to use the partial shadow wrapping to avoid Leon at all costs. His spear was not aiming to harm her greatly, but it would still cut through her scales due to the quality of his weapon. Even if it didn't cut through her scales, it would cause a lot of bruising and trauma knocking Midnight back. Leon was a lot stronger than he looked. That was something that most people forgot.

Leon had been trained by the king of the merfolk for many years. He was also trained by the best of the best warriors the merfolk had. If anyone were to say that Leon was weak, they would be in for a rude awakening. He had many years to become as strong as he was and represented the merfolk on the Genesis council for a reason.

"Midnight, Is this all you have!" Walker had taken a deep breath. He felt that Midnight was focused but not giving it her best. When he was watching, she was holding herself back slightly. She didn't seem to want to damage any of the ship as she moved. But she was also keeping an eye on Su who was moving around her to block the spear.

There was a always something to be said about someone that was looking to protect their family. Su and Midnight were clearly family. Midnight wanted Su to keep up and be safe. But what Midnight did not realize was that this would also hold Su back.

"If you can't beat Leon's fastest speed I will be keeping you from snacks for a week!" Walker's follow up threat drew even more attention from midnight. She had been slightly insulted but also told she would lose snacks. Snacks! Who would ever threaten something so good? It was terrible. A tragedy for the ages.

The growl in response from Midnight didn't need any translation. She had decided to throw caution to the wind and push herself faster and further. Instead of a grip on the shadow wrapping skill, Midnight dug her mental claws in to it.

The darkness elemental mana around her tightened. She could bring the skeletal armor out easily, this was the same. As her skills activated and showed themselves the shadow wrapping became clearer to sight. It had wrapped itself around the skeletal armor while trailing off to her shadow. There was a constant stream of shadow that was creating a secondary and even tertiary image of herself on her sides. It was like looking at an object with your eyes crossed. Hitting her would be immensely harder.

"Now that is the skill I wanted her to learn. It's not the same as I would have expected but it is a very clear shadow illusion. A harder skill to use but she seems to have tied it to her other skills. Shadow wrapping, skeleton armor, and shadow illusion. That is the essence of a darkness dragon assassin." Mordant was grinning like a villain. He was greatly pleased to see that Walker had pushed Midnight to the next level of training.

"I can see that you might take more pride in training your younger dragons than I expected." Walker's surprise and small fears about Mordant came to one conclusion here. Mordant was vicious if left unchecked.

"This is normal for how Mordant acts. He has been this way for many years. He has dragonkin that train under him. Not everyone understands his unique obsession. I am surprised that you have not learned it yet." Rise seemed a little tired, but her eyes betrayed her. They were following Midnight's movements while Leon was speeding up more and more.

"I did not expect that your human guardian would fall behind so much. I thought that the nature dragon royal would be able to give his champion a better guardian." Rise spoke up, surprising Walker. He didn't expect her to say a word. Let alone a few words that clearly were meant to antagonize Su. However, the small smirk that Rise wore proved she had ulterior motives.

"Who the hell are you to say that!?" The reaction that Su had was drastically different from how she normally was. She stomped her foot on the ground before bringing the shield up.

"As you said, she is on edge. Emotional turmoil will do that to any being. The same as when Ignus causes small tantrums and burned a forest or two. It's almost adorable, she's like all the hatchlings in the first few years." Rise seemed to be showing her softer side while enjoying the anger that Su had shown. It was her growing tensions showing themselves.

"You did that to see her temper? Su might be a little off lately but I think you pushed too-" Walker silenced himself as he saw the shadows around Su's feet bend with resilience. They were benign forced to become springs for Su's movement.

As a light shield wrapped around Su's shield, she pushed off the shadows with explosive force. The result was Leon's spear being slammed backwards with a large metallic ring. Leon's face showed an expression of great surprise seeing that he had been deflected and pushed back. This had not happened the entire training.

"And now we will see what a little hatchling can do when they embrace their instinct." Rise seemed to be playing right in to the emotions that were present for Su's dragon blood. It was growing and now Su had the chance to match those instincts with her human side.

The three watched as Su, Midnight, and Leon pushed the training higher. Leon was nowhere near using the full force but he was smiling. He could feel the strain of Su's shield and Midnight's growing speed stopping him from using his perfect techniques. This strained his muscles and made him become one with his spear much faster.

This was exactly what Leon needed to break through faster. He had to become one with his spear to the point that he could truly have the spear soul skill. He needed it for the dangers that a new continent would hold. So he could protect everyone.
