"Huh."

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

　My hard fang sword cuts through the air.

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

　Ian quickly dodges the sword to the side and throws a fist at me.

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

　Ian's fist is thrown at me, and I manage to avoid it even though I am out of position from the fist.

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

　I succeed in avoiding it just in time.

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

　However, Ian's fist seems to have grazed me slightly.

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

　The slightest touch causes my skin to turn red and I feel pain.

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

　But the pain soon subsides.

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

　It's the effect of the Flame of Compassion.

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

　The flame lit deep inside my body heals my body with heat.

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

　A scratch like this will heal in no time.

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

　However, it is not a good idea to be attacked too much since it consumes a certain amount of magical power.

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

　I move on to the next action, regretting that I should be more careful in avoiding attacks.

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

　I avoid Ian's subsequent fists and parry them with my hard fang sword, looking for clues to counterattack.

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

　It's all right.

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

　Ian and I are more evenly matched in the fight than ever before.

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

　This is probably due to the effect of the [Flame of Lovingkindness].

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

　Hannah's magic called the Flame of Compassion lights a flame in the chest of the target.

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

　If you put your own magic power into the flame, your physical functions will improve according to the amount of magic power you put into the flame.

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

　Thanks to this, I had strengthened my power and was able to compete with Ian on an equal footing.

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

　However, Ian did not use the Flame of Compassion, so we were not really on an equal footing.

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

　Still, it is nice to be able to fight at a constant level of strength in a mock battle.

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

　It is the same for me and for Ian.

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

　Until now, when I had a mock battle with Ian, we were so far apart in strength that I could not compete with him at all.

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

"Well. How's that, Ian?"

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

"I like it. Not bad. I like the idea of a trial run."

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

"Right?　I'm pretty proud of my magic."

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

　Furthermore, Ian was not only pleased with this simulation because they could match their strength.

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

　It has something to do with the fact that Ian can now use magic.

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

　Since I had given Ian the surname Sphere, he could now use the same magic that I could use.

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

　Thanks to that, Ian can also use magic such as [practice].

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

　Ian had been learning swordsmanship earlier, but now he was learning fist-based combat techniques from Ai.

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

　He was using it in a mock battle with me to check his moves.

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

　To be honest, Ian is so used to fighting with his fists that I wonder if he needs to learn from Ai how to fight with his fists.

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

　It is because of his experience in the village of Atmos.

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

　Children born in the village of Atmos grow up fighting fists with other children of the same age from an early age.

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

　I am not talking about fighting, but really beating their opponents to death.

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

　After having grown up through physical training and battle practice, the Atmos warriors are finally put to the test.

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

　That is the duel in front of the Atmosphere.

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

　Young candidates for Atmos warriors fight a deadly duel in front of the great stone in which the spirit of the earth dwells.

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

　It is literally a serious battle, and some of them really lose their lives.

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

　The reason why they do such dangerous things has to do with their transformation into giants.

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

　By fighting the duel in front of the Atmosphere, the young people are able to turn into giants.

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

　To be honest, I don't really understand what this means.

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

　I have no idea how they could become giants in such a way, but that's actually how giants were born in the village of Atmosphere.

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

　So, it seems that the Titan-formation used by the warriors of Atmos is not magic.

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

　Therefore, even if Ian named another person, that person would not be able to transform into a Titan.

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

　This may be the reason why the survivors of Atmos warriors other than Ian moved to Vulcania.

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

　Since Brother Ars took the Atmosphere from the village of Atmos to the Sky Kingdom of Vulcania, no Titans will ever be born again if they don't follow him.

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

　I guess everyone knew that.

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

　Well, that's why Ian was used to fighting with his fists since he grew up in that village.

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

　But he said he still had some things to learn from Ai's moves, so he was using [practice watching].

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

　I am impressed by his ambition to improve his fighting skills.

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

　But to be honest, it is not so important to improve in empty hand.

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

　The most important thing, after all, is that Ian has learned how to use a sword.

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

　Ian has grown up beating up other children in the village since he was born, and conversely, he has not used a sword very much.

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

　That's because he hasn't.

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

　He will turn into a giant when he becomes a full-fledged warrior of Atmos.

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

　There are not many swords that can be used with a Titan's body, which is far from that of a normal human being.

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

　Then he should have been able to use his fists or some kind of club made from a log.

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

　However, it seems that Ian wanted to learn the movements of the sword better now that he had learned to use it.

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

　Maybe that's why.

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

　Of all the magic that Ian learned to use after being named after me, he gave the highest marks to [Practice].

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

　And in fact, its effect is great.

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

　Ian who became able to use [Mi-Practice] became able to use the real swordsmanship of a sword saint, not just the swordsmanship that he had seen and imitated.

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

　The swordsmanship that systematized the theoretical and efficient movements used by the sword saint is used by a giant.

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

　He must be extremely strong.

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

　I think that's the wrong word.

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

　I think Ian's strength has increased overall though his magical power has decreased after being named.

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

　That's how strong Ian became after he mastered swordsmanship.

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

　So much so that I don't understand why he is learning karate-kuken again after all these years.

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

"What do you think, Ian?　You still want to do it?"

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

"Yes. But how long are we going to do this, Alphonse?

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

"Hmm?　What?

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

"Lately, all I've been doing is training. I'd like to use this power in a real fight."

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

"....... We haven't had any real battles lately. I should ask Laura and Banagher if we can fight somewhere.

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

　Summer has already passed and we are approaching autumn.

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

　But this year in the Orient has been relatively quiet.

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

　Rarely did they receive a visit from outsiders, but the Barka mercenaries were not called upon to go out to battle.

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

　It seems that many countries would rather fight elsewhere than bother with the warriors of Atmos.

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

　This has given us time to train, but we have not been able to participate in any real battles.

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

　I agree with Ian that it's time to get out there and fight.

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

　I agreed with Ian's opinion and decided to contact the Orient immediately after the mock war.
