"It's getting a lot better. Your movements are getting leaner and leaner."

That's right. You've been practicing sword for three months now. You must be getting a little better.

　Today I continue to swing my sword.

　Slowly, he moves his body, checking his movements.

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

　At first we only swung down from above, but little by little we added other movements.

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

　However, it is not at all certain that we have mastered all the moves we have learned in the practice sessions.

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

　There are still some movements that have not been confirmed.

"With all due respect, I was afraid you would give up halfway through. I expected that you would want to move around with more flair and not just do a simple training, but I guess I was mistaken."

"Well, that may have been true in the past. I wanted to be strong as soon as possible, so I wanted to do this and that. But I know that the training I'm doing now is very important.

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

I beg your pardon.

"Oh, but I've been thinking that maybe I should do some more training. I was thinking that I should train my body to gain more strength.

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

"So you're training to improve muscle strength?　Certainly there is a great deal to be said for physical training and improving muscular strength. If the amount of magic power is the same, it is quite possible that the difference in muscular strength will affect the outcome of the game.

"I knew it. But Ai didn't seem to want me to train for that purpose, so I didn't say anything. There must be a reason, right?"

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

　As I was slowly checking my body movements and swinging my sword, Ai continued to talk to me.

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

　Now I can afford to have a little conversation.

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

　Of course, I have not lost my concentration.

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

　I respond back to her while correcting my movements properly.

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

　Ai seemed to be worried that I might quit the training halfway through.

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

　Well, it's not that simple.

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

　In fact, I'm pretty sure that at first I wanted to do more mock battles with Ai.

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

　I also wanted to get stronger and more powerful in a more direct way.

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

　I can strengthen my body with magic power.

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

　But I think it is a kind of multiplication.

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

　If you don't have the basic physical strength, you will be a weak person no matter how much you strengthen your body with magic.

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

　In fact, the knights of the Lubitsch family who can use the magic of swordsmanship train their bodies.

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

　It is said that no matter how much they can move like the sword saints of the past with magic, it is meaningless if their bodies cannot keep up with the magic.

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

　However, Ai did not say that they should train their bodies more.

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

　Train your magic, train your brain, and make your body learn the right moves.

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

　That's all Ai had ever wanted.

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

　And apparently for good reason.

"Yes. The reason is your age, Mr. Alphonse."

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

"My age?"

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

"Yes. Master Alphonse is still growing. It would have been counterproductive to force him to train specifically to build up his muscular strength. According to one theory, overtraining the muscles at an early age can prevent the growth of a person's height. However, this is something that needs to be verified.

"Oh, I see. Oh, really?　But then, can I do this sword training?"

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

"I'm sure it will be fine. That's why we trained you to enhance your natural healing power first. In fact, we have confirmed that Alphonse's body is in perfect health. No adverse effects from the training have been confirmed so far.

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

　I knew you'd put a lot of thought into this.

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

　I never thought about what I would do when I grew up.

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

　I had heard from books on human anatomy that too much training can be too much for the body.

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

　But I don't think I connected it to myself.

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

　The more you train, the better you are.

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

　That's what I thought, but I guess not.

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

　They say that taking a good rest is part of the training.

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

　And eating.

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

　Eating is not only for absorption of magic power but also for nutrition.

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

　So we are told to consume a variety of foods in abundance and with no bias toward any one.

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

"Thank you, Ai. Then, I should continue my training as before, right?

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

"Yes. Yes, but I think it is also a good time to try something new. The next training will make you stronger than ever.

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

"Really?　But is it okay?　I haven't finished checking all the swordsmanship movements yet, you know?"

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

"That's fine. What we are going to do now will be done in parallel with the movement check.

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

　I also thought that the current training would continue for a while.

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

　But it seems that Ai is planning to add a new element to the training.

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

　And he says it will make me stronger.

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

　I'm glad.

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

　After all, if I'm being honest, the more power I have, the more I feel like I'm doing something.

　Especially when he had a fight with Clement and the others, he was clearly outmatched.

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

　No matter how good your sword moves, you may lose if you are pushed too hard by your opponent.

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

　That is why I want to get stronger.

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

　That's what I thought.

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

　The fact that Ai was offering to help me with this means that the training would not be a hindrance to my future growth, and I couldn't be averse to it.

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

　Thus, Ai taught me more new training.
