Chapter 494: Simple Training

The start of Fenrir’s training was a little different from what she had expected.

「Yes just like that, don’t move」

「Muh!」

「Woof!」

「Concentrate within your own body, sharpen your senses」

She thought he was going to teach her how to use her skills and how to wield weapons, but he told her to sit in a cross-legged position on the spot.

It was training to control the flow of her magic power. The content of his training was to let magical power flow through her body.

Fran is already capable of using her techniques, but she lacks the fundamentals because she has been fighting on her own. That’s why it is not surprising that she has to do this kind of training.

「Once you can do this properly, you’ll be able to use your skills better」

Fenrir has been watching over Fran from within me. Thanks to that, I also know Fran’s shortcomings now.

「Fran has two problems, the first one is about her skills control」

『Well, it’s still far from perfect』

With the maintenance of the Divine blacksmith Alistair, some of my skills have been integrated into one and I gained more powerful superior skills, but she is still having a hard time controlling them.

「And the other one is that her own power is too great, but the backlash on her body is also great too」

『That too. We’re trying to do something about it』

The only solution I can think of is to train her body and increase her status. Of course, I know that reducing the number of multiple skill activations and lowering the power output will solve the problem. However, that would put us at a disadvantage in future battles against powerful enemies.

「This training she’s doing now will have a positive effect on that weakness」

『Eh? Really?』

「Yeah」

He said that once she had better control over her skills, she would be able to use the magic power she was currently wasting to offset the backlash and strengthen herself.

「It won’t be as strong as body strengthening technique, but it’s better like that」

『Hoho―, That’s good』

「And for Urushi, he’s from a species where skill handling is important」

『The wide variety of skills is Urushi’s main asset after all』

「Besides, even with later evolution, the Darkness Wolf won’t be able to enhance its fighting ability much」

『Eh?』

「W-woof?」

Not only was I surprised by Fenrir’s words but Urushi was too. He stood up unconsciously with a shocked look.

「A Darkness Wolf’s next evolutionary path is the Gehenna Wolf or Dark Knight Wolf. However, since both of them are lord-level monsters, their abilities as individuals do not increase much, while their dominance skills over other wolf species increase a lot」

『So he’s going to make his underlings fight like the Goblin King?』

「Well. Although he’ll be able to use more magic, his evolution won’t be as explosive as other wolf species in terms of status」

「Woof…」

Hearing those words, Urushi drooped. He wanted to evolve and become stronger after all.

「Urushi, that’s why this training will be meaningful. The way for you to become stronger as an individual is to strengthen your skills. Think about how to use your skills even more than you already do」

「Woof」

***

Three days passed in the blink of an eye since Fran and Urushi started meditating.

Of course, they take meals and breaks. But they’ve been in meditation for most of the time. Urushi looks like he’s just sitting down though.

『I’m relieved I had prepared some food before we came to the Plains of the Demon Wolf』

「Fran can hunt and cook by herself, right? She also has the skills」

『Well, you’re right. But this will allow her to focus on her training, right?』

「Well, that’s certainly true」

However, starting today, they will be doing a different kind of training. The training is to stalk the goblins that appear in this area without using any skills.

Instead of relying on stealth skills, they need to be able to eliminate their presence without using skills to manipulate it.

This is something I can’t teach them, so I’m very grateful. As an inorganic being, I don’t understand what it means to erase my presence. After all, I’m usually able to eliminate my presence without doing anything. I mean, I don’t have a heart, so no heartbeat, no breathing, no smell, and no sound because I move by telekinesis.

In general, as a sword, I don’t have any presence. As long as I conceal my magic, it would be difficult for those magic beasts to find me.

Well, I still have the senses I had when I was human, but I’ve never had any training on Earth to erase my presence. I’m an amateur in this field.

Meditation in the morning. Goblin stalking would be their next training in the afternoon.

『Will that make Fran stronger?』

「Of course. Well, it would be even better if she could raise her level at the same time」

『Won’t she need me for that?』

「Not in particular. You have a few swords in your storage, right? Well, she’ll have to be with Master to hunt magic beast on the outer perimeter, but as long as it’s a D level threat or below, Fran will be fine now」

『Well, that’s true, but…』

「I know how you feel, but sometimes you just need to keep an eye on things, right?」

『Ugh…』

I also know about that, but… Either way, in my current state, all can do now is just to watch over her.

『How far are my repairs going?』

「Well. All I can tell you is that you’re still being analyzed. It hasn’t made any progress in repairing you」

『Even though it’s already been three days?』

「Yeah. Moreover, the repairs would take more time than the analysis」 2

『So even if the analysis is finished today, it’ll be at least three more days huh?』

Fenrir told me that my system was so complex that it would take a lot of time to analyze it in detail.

『Do you know how long will it take?』

「I don’t know」

『Haah…』

「I’m sorry. It’s just that this is necessary for Master’s sake. Please bear with it」

『Okay. Hey, if I don’t move from this state, can I use my skills or magic?』

「Umm. Aside from telepathy, I think you shouldn’t use high-level skills. That could prolong the analysis」

『…I’m not going to use high-level skills』

「That’s fine then」

Haah! I can’t wait for this to be over!
