Nathan yawned while walking to the lake.
Evelyn was already waiting for him next to the lake. She asked, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah. But it's fine. It's not like I have anything better to do here." Nathan nodded. "I'm more curious about the improvement anyway."
Evelyn furrowed her eyebrows. "You're curious about that? As someone who has created that technique, shouldn't you take pride in it?"
Nathan smiled, recalling Selena. Compared to Selena's monstrous talent, he was nothing. The only advantage he had was the novels he had read.
He might be able to create something new through the knowledge he got from those stories, but he wouldn't be talented enough to perfect it.
Nathan shrugged. "In any case, I don't care about it. If there's anything I can improve, that'll be better. Even if you are my nemesis, I will probably thank you… Thank you for perfecting my technique so that I can kill you with it."
"What's with that pettiness…" Evelyn sighed. "All right. Let's begin right away. There are two ways to solve the current biggest problem, which is the recoil.
"The first one will be to get a stronger body. If you get used to the recoil, your body will remember it and counter the recoil instinctively. Of course, they need to be strong enough to do so.
"For the second improvement, it'll be through control. The blast is good, but because your control is still a bit too sloppy, you're unable to discharge everything forward.
"I'm not talking about ena. Instead, it's about momentum, air, and so on. If you shoot them forward as well, the blast will be moving forward, which will reduce the recoil.
"In the end, the recoil itself can't be removed entirely. That's why a lot of discharge techniques require you to make a forward movement to counter the recoil."
Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought. "Strength and Control, huh? I'm not sure about strength, but I think I can do something about my control."
"Yes. That's probably for the best." She nodded. "It's probably something ."
She walked to the edge and started gathering her strength before punching forward.
The punch didn't form a dragon. Instead, it looked like a beam that traveled across the lake.
"Did you see it? In this punch, I applied three things: momentum, control, and physical strength."
"By punching forward, you reduced the recoil. Your physical strength is much greater than mine, so it's not hard to counter it while the control is much more straightforward than I think. You're using your ena to drag everything around your fist." Nathan nodded.
"Indeed. You should focus on the control first. Considering your fighting style, the Dragon Fist can go forward, but the gun doesn't seem to do that."
"I understand. I will try to move forward with that in mind." Nathan nodded. "Thank you."
"You must be sleepy and tired." Evelyn shrugged, saying those words to act as if she had never heard his thank you since it was unnecessary.
"Anyway, make sure you train hard and get a proper rest. I will help Bella. If you still have energy and time to check the documents, come later."
"Yes." Nathan nodded.
Once Evelyn took her leave, Nathan continued punching the air with his Dragon Fist, gradually improving his control.
He was a bit curious about Selena's situation, but he chose to trust her and the two he had sent.
He believed Selena had the ability to defeat her uncle.
So, Nathan planned to use this time to train as much as possible… or that was the original plan.
However, Nathan ended up summoning his familiars. Since the challenge was over, there was no more ban on summoning his familiars.
Considering the situation and place, it wasn't that bad to summon them and let them do whatever they wanted. Even Nidhogg, who was usually lazing around, looked a bit motivated, as though he was trying to tell Nathan that he could also work hard. Still, Nathan knew Nidhogg was aiming for more ena.
The problem was Fenrir.
Fenrir was sitting in front of him with his bright face. "Teach me that discharge technique!"
"Huh?" Nathan raised his eyebrows, not understanding his request. "You're the embodiment of strength, yet you're trying to use the discharge technique?"
"Of course." Fenrir nodded. "Nidhogg and Jinwu can shoot out something from their mouths. I don't want to lose. I need to be able to do the same thing. That discharge technique, even if I can't summon a breath, I can still shoot out beams."
"Aren't your reasons… rather too shallow?" Nathan sighed.
"That's just one of the reasons. Having a discharge technique like that will help me tremendously in the future.
"I know that I'm strong physically, but after coming to this world, I realize that physical strength is not everything, even though I have absolute strength.
"There will definitely be a future where I need to use the discharge technique or any other techniques that are not related to strength. So, I'm planning to add it to my arsenal. Even if I don't use it, it's not like I grow weaker."
"…" Nathan contemplated for a moment. There might be other ways to apply such a technique, but it might not necessarily be a human way of fighting.
After some consideration, Nathan nodded. "Alright. I will teach you about it."
In the end, Fenrir trained with Nathan all the time. Meanwhile, Nidhogg and Jinwu were fighting each other.
Because he wasn't a pure combatant, Anubis actually tried to imitate Sera's way of using the Synchronization.
In the end, the five guardians or the people around him would be the ones fighting. If he could make them stronger, he should learn it.
Of course, Anubis was also curious about this discharge technique, not for such a childish reason as Fenrir's, but he was thinking about combining the discharge technique with his own technique, creating a technique that he had never wielded before.
Time passed by. Five days later, it was time for the last meeting before he could return.
