"So, how can I become stronger?　Perhaps Ai can teach you how to use a sword?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That would be fine. But there is something you must learn before swordsmanship. Do you know what that is, Master Alphonse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Eye, my new teacher.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I immediately ask him a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said he would do anything to make me stronger, but I didn't know what he was going to do.

　Would she teach me how to use a sword?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but apparently not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't know what I'm supposed to learn first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just shook my head.

"Don't you understand?　Then let me answer your question. The first thing you must learn, Mr. Alphonse, is how to handle magic.

"How to handle magic?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. That is the most important thing, Master Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, then, shouldn't you learn how to increase your magical power?　Because, you know. I'm as good as Clement and the others if I had more magic. Everyone says the more magic you have, the stronger you are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I lost because I had less magic than Clement and his friends.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are children of the House of Lords.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They're the children of the nobles and knights of this land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They have less magic power than Charles, the royalty of Brillia, but they have much more magic power than I do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why I couldn't do anything against them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, isn't it the most important thing to increase the amount of magic power to become stronger?

"No, no. I am sure that Alphonse's brother, Ars Varka, would say the same thing. What Master Alphonse must learn is how to handle magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your brother?　Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. Because it is written in the book once written by Ars Varka. I remember it all and I understand it. Yes. I guess what I am going to teach you is the Barka method of training.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Barka method?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's great.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard that Ars and his brother Byte got stronger by that training method.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, it must be absolutely right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's do it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Barkha method will make us stronger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked Ai to teach me more about this training method.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll do it.

"Listen, Master Alphonse. In the first place, the amount of magic power is only one of the factors of strength. There is no doubt that the more magic power you have, the stronger you are. However, more magic power does not always mean that you can win.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I've heard that before. Brother Ars told me about it. I've heard that if you have the same amount of magic power as your opponent, he is confident that he can win.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. That's probably true. Because Mr. Ars Varka is like that. Now I have a question. Why is it that Ars Valka is able to win in a fight against an opponent with the same amount of magic power?　Do you understand?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you know, because you're strong. Brother Ars wins because he's as strong as anyone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... heh. Yes, that's right. That's essentially correct. Now, let's change the question. Why is Mr. Ars Varka so strong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's see, you have a lot of magic power. And I can use a lot of magic. And, you know, we can use swords,...... and we have Valkyries, so we are strong."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. Now, everything Mr. Alphonse just said is probably correct. Ars Valka is strong not only because of the amount of magic power, right?　There are many factors involved, and it is because of their excellence that they are strong. Do you understand that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. You mean that the amount of magical power is not the only thing that matters. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. Ars Varka is a very versatile person. And none of them were acquired overnight. All of them are the result of a long period of training.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, but didn't Ai say this earlier?　He said the most important thing is how to handle magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. That's exactly right. From now on, in order for Mr. Alphonse to become stronger, he must be trained in various things. But there is something you must learn in order to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean how to use magic?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. To be precise, it is a technique to hold the magic generated by the body in the body. The human body is constantly dissipating magic power outside the body. You will learn how to suppress it. It's called meditation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, isn't that Barca magic?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai told me that in order for me to become strong, I must first be able to [meditate].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You want to use magic yourself?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still didn't understand what Ai was trying to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I desperately listened to the rest of Ai's explanations.
