"So, what's next?　You said you're going to keep moving your body slowly now."

"Yes. Let me explain. I'll explain how to do it, but it will be an application of what we've done so far. What I'm going to ask you to do now, Mr. Alphonse, is to flow magic power.

"Magic flow?　You mean moving magic?　If so, I can already do that, but ......"

"So far, Mr. Alphonse has done nothing but move and distribute magic. We can collect magic power in one part of the body and strengthen that part. The eyes, the brain, and so on. But it is not like that. Fluidity means to keep moving without staying in one place.

"...... keep moving."

"Yes, it is. From now on, when you move your body with the sword, you will also move the magic in your body.

　The eye moves on to the next training session.

　The ai again talked about the handling of magic power.

　However, he said that it was a little different from the previous ones.

　Instead of dispersing magic power, it keeps moving.

　Hearing that much, it did not seem so difficult.

"I just have to move the magic power according to the movement of my body, right?　Let's see, does that mean that when I raise my arms, for example, I gather magic power in my arms, and when I use my legs, I gather magic power in my legs?"

"Basically, that's correct. You can actually try it."

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

　As soon as Ai told me, I gave it a try.

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

　I tried the most familiar movement, the descent.

　As before, I lifted my arms slowly and cut down from there.

　As I did so, I also moved the magic power in my body.

"......That's hard."

"Yes. It is important to move your body as you imagine and at the same time, to use magic power to assist your movements accordingly. For example, when you raise your arm, you do not use only the muscles of your arm. The legs are also working to support the body, and the back and abdominal muscles are also working to support the torso. For all of these muscles, we move the necessary amount of magical power to each of them.

"...... but the body keeps moving. It's not enough to distribute it to the eyes and brain and keep it there, as we do during the practice, but we need to keep the magic moving all the time, right?"

"That's right. That's why I used the word "fluid. Imagine that magic is always moving in your body. The liquid in the container keeps moving smoothly, just like a container keeps moving as the liquid in the container moves.

　You really do make it sound difficult, Ai.

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

　This is not as easy as it sounds.

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

　It is also something that can only be done if you know which muscles are being used to move the body in the first place.

　...... I see.

　So maybe he was practicing as slowly as possible how to use the body he had learned in the practice.

　It is harder to cheat in this magic flow if you move your body slowly.

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

　Besides, it is only because you have been practicing to control your body as you imagine while listening to your body's voice carefully, that you can practice this flow of magic power.

　This training is not possible if you are just moving randomly.

　After that, I continued to move my body slowly and swing my sword.

　He kept moving his body slowly and kept swinging the sword, thinking about where and how the force is applied when he moves his body, and kept transferring the magic power there.

　Then I try to make it move smoothly.

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

　At first I couldn't do it at all.

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

　Sometimes Ai pointed out that I was sending the magic to the wrong place, and sometimes there was no magic where I needed it.

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

　And because I kept sending magic power here and there, the movement of my body and the movement of magic power became awkward.

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

　With Ai's help, he corrected them little by little.

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

　While moving my body slowly, I repeated the process over and over again so that the magic power would flow smoothly.

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

　Around this time, I think my impression of magic has changed somewhat.

　Until then, the magic power in my mind was a concentrated, thick liquid that seemed to burn if I set it on fire.

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

　But recently, it has become more like fine sand.

　I break the soil into small pieces, and then I break it into smaller pieces, and then I break it into smaller pieces.

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

　And finally, something like a grain of sand, made so small that it could not be made any smaller, became the form of the magic power in me.

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

　I think I have heard from my brother Ars that fine sand sometimes looks like a liquid.

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

　Many small grains of magic gathered together and kept moving inside my body like a liquid.

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

　The magic is always moving with the movement of the body that swings the sword.

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

　I feel that my body is moving more easily than before.

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

　And though I only swing the sword, I feel that the weight of my arm is lighter than before when I hold the sword.

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

　Maybe I am getting stronger?

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

　With such expectations, I continued to check the movements and train the flow of magic power for a few more months.
