"Good. You are getting to the point where you can work out your magic quite naturally. Shall we proceed to the next step, Mr. Alphonse?

"Yes. So you're finally going to start practicing [meditation]?"

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

"No. Not yet. The next step is, as before, to take the magic power from outside the body into the body.

　Huh?

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

　I don't understand.

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

　Haven't we been training for this all this time?

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

　I think I have already learned to naturally take in the magic in the air when I breathe.

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

　That's what Ai would have said.

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

"What do you mean?　Is it different from what you've been doing?"

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

"Yes. So far we have been taking the magic from the air outside of our bodies into our bodies. In the training we are going to start this time, we are going to take in magic power not from the air but from something else.

"Something else?　Are there other things that can take in magic?"

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

"Yes, there is. In fact, it is something that Alphonse puts in his body every day. Do you understand?"

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

　Ai asks a question.

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

　Lately I have noticed that Ai often asks me questions.

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

　At first I thought that if she was going to tell me, why didn't she just say so?

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

　But maybe not.

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

　Maybe Ai doesn't want me to do only what he tells me to do.

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

　She wants me to think for myself and find the right answer.

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

　But if you don't understand, you can ask.

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

　If you ask, he will tell you right away.

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

　But then, I want to surprise him.

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

　I want to come up with the right answer myself and surprise her.

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

　I thought about this for a while.

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

　And then I finally realized.

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

　I finally realized that there is something else that I take into my body every day.

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

　It was something that comes into my body not through my nose but through my mouth.

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

"Okay, ai. The answer is food. Right?"

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

"That's right, Master Alphonse. All living things take in food. And what is eaten also contains magic. In other words, we all take magic into our bodies through food, whether we are aware of it or not.

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

"Hmmm. Well, now that you put it that way, maybe. I've never really thought about it before.

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

"It's a very common behavior that we tend to overlook. But it was Ars Varka who noticed it. Ars Barka realized that we can not only take in the magic of the atmosphere by breathing, but also by eating. So he researched whether it is possible to take in magic power from food more efficiently.

　Brother Ars again.

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

　That's amazing.

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

　How did you come up with that?

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

　Did you always think about that when you were eating?

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

"Magic from food. But how can that be?　Do I just focus on chewing my food like I do when I breathe?"

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

"Unfortunately not. We put food in our mouth, chew it, and then swallow it. However, they only break the food into small pieces to make it easier to take in. These actions are called digestion. However, we must pay attention to the function of absorption when we take food into our body.

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

"Absorption?"

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

Yes. That's why you need to learn something, Mr. Alphonse. To understand digestion and absorption, we must understand the structure and physiology of the human body. You must learn how food moves through the body after it has been chewed into small pieces by the mouth."

"Uh-huh. I want to be strong. But I don't want to study.

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

"You want to be strong, don't you?　If so, it is important to take in magic power from this meal as well. If you can't do this, you will never be able to catch up with Mr. Clément.

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

　Ugh.

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

　It's not fair to talk like that.

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

　But I can't run away when you say it like that.

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

　Because I'm the one who said I wanted to be strong.

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

　I don't like to read much.

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

　Swinging a sword is much more fun.

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

　But let's do it.

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

　I don't like studying... but Ai seems to be good at teaching... maybe he can teach me how to study in an easy-to-understand way.

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

　That was the only time I thought so.

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

　The next moment, Ai took out a very thick book from her magic bag.

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

　I don't know much about it, but Ai said it was a book about the structure of the human body that is often read in the church.

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

　He showed me the book and explained about the parts of the body.

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

　There are a lot of words in the book, and it is difficult to understand.

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

　I just wanted to be strong.

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

　Why do I have to study so much?

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

　But Ai taught me how to study.
