The practice field was quite spacious.
Due to the various facilities, Seiji wasn't able to see the entire field, but he could tell that the area he could see was no smaller than a basketball court. The ceiling was more than twenty meters high from the ground.
'There's such a large space underground. How was it built? When was it built? '
Several questions flashed through Seiji's mind.
But it didn't matter. There was no need for him to ask.
"Have you read the information I gave you last night?"
"I have."
"Can you understand it?" Summer Night blinked in surprise.
"Roughly …" Seiji recalled the information he read last night.
The yellow booklet … cough, the [Body-strengthening Technique] manual was rather easy to understand. At the very least, Seiji was an otaku who had experienced all sorts of miraculous, incomprehensible, complicated, and wondrous techniques in the 2-D world. It was basically a beginner's textbook.
Well, actually, this was indeed a beginner's textbook.
"To cast the [Body-strengthening Technique], you first need to feel the Mana within your body, and then the Mana outside your body.
Then, you need to let the Mana within your body circulate throughout your entire body, and use a special breathing technique to communicate with the Mana outside your body. This will cause the Mana outside your body to circulate together, creating a large cycle of Mana within your body and outside your body.
Finally, you need to use an incantation to stimulate this cycle and strengthen your body's abilities. "
Seiji explained his understanding of the technique.
"That's more accurate." Summer Night nodded. "Have you tried to feel your Mana?"
"I've tried, but I didn't feel anything." Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
Last night, he followed the specific method described in the booklet several times, but to no avail.
"That's normal. After all, your Mana and Mana aren't that high." Summer Night turned around and walked to the right.
"You need assistance … follow me." She started walking.
Seiji followed her.
He walked to the right corner and saw that there was a Yin-Yang symbol about two meters in diameter on the ground. There were also some lines and incantations carved around the symbol. There were also six silver mirrors around the symbol, all of which were aimed at the center of the Yin-Yang symbol.
"This is a 'Mana Gathering Formation.' After activating it, it can gather a high concentration of Mana. " Summer Night looked at Seiji Mukai. "Go in and feel it from the inside. It'll be easier to feel it."
Seiji walked in and stood in the middle of the Taiji diagram.
"This is the position, right?"
"Yes. Are you ready? "
"Done." Seiji took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Then he heard the Grand Mistress say something, and suddenly he felt something invisible gather around him.
Steady his breathing, relax his body and mind, disperse his spirit, and immerse his consciousness …
Seiji once again tried to feel it according to the contents of the booklet.
It was completely dark.
But slowly, he seemed to see light.
It was in his body.
He tried to "see" more clearly and tried to guide it.
However, things did not go well.
Seiji remained patient and continued to "watch" and try.
…
The invisible energy that had gathered dissipated.
Seiji opened his eyes.
"It's been an hour, Haruta-kun," Summer Night said.
"Eh?" Why was it so fast? Where did all the time go?
"How do you feel?"
"Not too good …" Seiji explained the situation to her.
"Actually, it's quite good … With your current Mana level, it's quite good to be able to do this on your first try with the help of a 'Mana gathering spell.'" Summer Night expressed her approval.
"Oh …"
"Next, you just need to continue feeling it and do your best to be able to guide your Mana … There's no need to rush. It's fine even if you can't learn it by then. As I said before, as long as you have a bonded spirit, you'll naturally be able to cast the spell. "
Seiji blinked in surprise.
"President, can you teach me in more detail? I'm doing everything according to the booklet's instructions, but I feel like I'm not getting the hang of it, "he requested sincerely.
A system interface that only he could see appeared before him.
[Read a beginner-level body-strengthening technique manual or equivalent information, understand and understand it — current progress: 100%.]
[Receive guidance from someone who has learned beginner-level body-strengthening technique or above. Current progress: 15.7%.]
He had completed the first item last night.
As for the second item … the more Grand Mistress talked, the faster the system's progress would increase!
"It's possible, but I don't know how to explain it … I feel like the booklet's instructions are quite detailed, and you're correct in your understanding." Summer Night tilted her head slightly.
"Then what did you do in the beginning, President?"
"What I meant was …"
Under Seiji's guidance and questions, Summer Night gradually told him more details about what she learned.
Her system's progress kept increasing.
After a while, Seiji felt that it would be difficult for him to ask any more questions, so he ended the session appropriately.
"Do you want to continue practicing here, or do you want to go Visualize?"
"'Visualize,' that's the most important thing."
"Okay. I won't close the practice field, so you can come here if you want to practice. It's quite easy to activate the 'Mana gathering spell,' as long as you say the incantation … "
* Ding! * Seiji learned the incantation to activate the spell.
It was actually just a simple voice-activated spell.
Then, the two of them went to the elevator.
When he walked to the elevator, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
The person who walked out was Hitaka Shuho, who was wearing his Spirit-branded Retainer's combat uniform.
"Grand Mistress … Haruta-kun …"
The red-haired girl didn't have any reaction when she saw Summer Night, but when she saw Seiji, her expression froze, and her cheeks flushed red.
"Good … good morning!"
She awkwardly averted her gaze and awkwardly greeted him.
Then, without waiting for either of them to respond, she quickly walked away.
Summer Night and Seiji were both rendered speechless.
"Haruta-kun …" Summer Night narrowed her eyes as she looked at the boy beside her.
"President …" Seiji also looked towards Grand Mistress and sensed something ominous from her gaze.
"Please explain! What's going on? "Summer Night had a fierce aura around her.
It was as if she was a large cat with angry eyes.
"I can explain, so please listen to me properly." Seiji smiled wryly as he spoke sincerely.
The two of them entered the elevator together.
When the elevator arrived, the two of them stopped in their tracks.
Summer Night had a helpless expression after listening to Seiji's explanation.
"I'm sorry, Haruta-kun." She sighed. "I should have … reminded her."
"President …"
"Hitaka … how should I put it? She's not very good at interacting with others … No, it's not the level of not good at interacting with others. I should say that she's actually quite clumsy. If she's like that with girls of the same gender, it's even worse with boys … "
"This would be a big problem for ordinary people, but she's no ordinary person."
"She's my Spirit-branded Retainer, as well as my good friend. She's willing to serve me for the rest of her life, and I intend to spend the rest of my life with her as well. "
That's why even though I don't think it's a good thing that she's bad at interacting with others, I don't think it's a serious problem. It'll be fine as long as I keep taking care of her. "
"Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about asking her to change, but my standpoint is … if I ask her to change herself, she'll likely interpret it as an order that she must obey and force herself too much, which is something I absolutely don't want to see."
Seiji remained silent.
She was his subordinate, as well as his friend … This was a slightly complicated relationship based on sincere feelings, which resulted in a cognitive barrier as well as a lack of communication.
At this time, the ideal method would be …
"Haruta-kun … I think that this might be an opportunity." Summer Night put down her hand and looked towards Seiji again with a glint in her eyes.
'Alright, we're probably thinking of the same thing, Grand Mistress.
