Zephyr looked as if she was annoyed to be told to be silent. In response she caused arge breeze to move through and push Gil back a little. Naturally, this was a huge stress to Gil who was worried the wind would blow his scent towards his prey. "Don''t look so worried about that. The wind went away from the lord boar." Zephyr proceeded to use the wind to make a few more gusts before she looked happy with her little revenge.


    "Are you done? Can we sneak forward more? The boars are still some ways away." Gil saw that Zephyr was pretending to ignore him so he stood and started to move forward inplete silence. The hunt was what he hade for and it was what he was going to do.


    This was his personal training. He was the one in the party that could best take the role of the scout. Walker had the potential but it was better to have Walker as a dedicated mage or healer. Of course, Walker would jump in to other roles as a main damage dealer warrior or even defender. But Gil could long range attack with arrows and magical arrows when with the party.


    The roles he could do were unique to him and he took great pride in it. The talk of taking the wandering cksmith to the mountains had just made Gil think more about his roles. He would be able to deal with monsters using his arrows without an issue. However, the mountains were going to be snow covered and dangerous. This meant that blending in and scouting would be a major benefit to the party.


    "I need to get better at tracking and sneaking." Gil was more so speaking out loud but he had hit a point with Zephyr.


    "Use the wind. It can blow you around sure. But you can use it to make yourself lighter and dampen your sound." Zephyr spoke as if she was a wise teacher dropping down groundbreaking wisdom to a student. However, Gil had not known any of this and was frozen in ce processing the possibilities.


    After gathering his thoughts, Gil asked the question. "How do I use the wind to hide the sounds I make and make myself lighter? I can be faster right?'' Gil was focused on the silence he would have no matter what if he could use wind elemental mana to sneak around. On top of this, he was also able to make his body lighter so that he could move even faster.


    "Of course you can move faster. Win elemental mana is all about fast. You should see how fast the air moves in a tornado. It''s a lot of fun!" This was something Gil did not want to expire ever in his life. Being in a tornado sounded like a terrifying experience that would lead to the end of his life.


    "You have my spirit mark. You have some of the skills to manipte mana already and put it in an arrow. You have two things that are perfect for learning how to use the wind to your advantage."Zephyr was amazed that Gil had yet to consider this. It would have been the first thing that she thigh of. Although, she was an elemental spirit and naturally knew more about the elements mana in the world.


    "You''re right. I can pull elemental mna from the elemental mana crystals and push them in to my arrow heads. But that is a very specific case that I have skills for. How would I be able to change the wind without items like those?"


    The way Gil was thinking this would happen was with some form of elemental mana crystal or item that could channel the wind elemental mana. He had no idea that he would be able to do it without any items and just his body himself.


    "I have seen Walker meditate for hours at a time. If you meditated for an hour a day you would understand. The wind elemental mana is drawn to you because of your affinity. Before you hint any board you need to sit your butt down and understand this even a little." Gil felt as if he was being reprimanded by his own mother.


    "I will, I will. But why are youparing us?" Gil was a little annoyed to bepared to Walker. He did not meditate like Walker because he was not interested in the magic skills that Walker was training. It was not like he could learn them with his system anyways.


    "You both have very strong mana flow. Yours is strong with the wind and his is changing. Bit the level is high. You two need to be some form of rivals." Zephyr was seeing much much more than anyone gave her credit for. No one would say anything about Walker and Gil having a rivalry. But that was not true. The two constantly pushed to be better even without knowing the other as trainingpetitions. Instead, it was just because they saw the other start to be stronger they did not want to be left behind. And in Gil''s eyes, Walker was getting way ahead of him.


    Overall, Gil started to sit down and looked at Zephyr, "How do I meditate? Just sit here and try not to sleep withmy eyes closed?"


    "Just breath in and out and let your mind expand. Focus on your own mana on your skin and then let it flow out. Eventually, you will feel the wind around you. The only other mana that will react strongly to you is the wind elemental mana." Zephyr guided Gil and sooner than he expected, Gil began to notice things about his very own body that he had never seen before.
