"Please don't lower yourself like that." The woman panicked. "We're already thankful for you giving us the opportunity to go further. It's rare for the summoners to think about the future path of the warriors."
"Ahahaha. I understand. Thank you." Nathan smiled wryly. "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
They exchanged looks before shaking their heads.
"It appears they don't have any other opinions, Great Master."
"All right." Nathan nodded. "Anyway, I don't mind if you drop the honorifics. I mean, I'm just a student. Too young for such a title."
"No can do. I apologize, Great Master. However, you have to know your own worth. The people here know that your age doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is your achievement and abilities.
"If you are stronger than us, you're worthy of respect. Your achievement has completely transformed our lives. Hence, we respect you from the bottom of our hearts.
"Besides, Great Master is very humble to be even willing to share your opinion with us. We're the ones feeling honored right now, so please don't ask us to drop our respect."
"If you say it that way, I guess I can't really ask that." Nathan sighed. "I have seen what you can do with magic weapons. For now, I will continue observing from here to see if there's anything else I can improve.
"Also, if possible, I would like to watch a group of two during the battle against aliens. It will be important for future improvement. Do you think it's alright to do it?" Nathan asked.
"Yes. In that case, please watch my group." Daz nodded.
"Sure. If the battle starts again, I will do just that." Nathan agreed. "If you don't have anything else to add, you can return to your daily training."
Daz confirmed once more that no one wanted to add anything before leading the group back to their training.
To Nathan's surprise, the moment they were gone, Selena tugged on Nathan's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Nathan asked. Selena had been quiet this whole time, so he wondered if she had suggestions.
"Do you think there's anything that can boost their speed?" Selena asked. The stronger the opponent, the quicker they are. Armor alone won't fix that issue."
"I know, right?" Nathan sighed. "Well, that can't be resolved by magic weapons. Instead, I'm thinking of another solution."
"Yes. It can not only improve their speed but also their strength." Nathan smirked. "What about using this ena battery to activate a spell instead?"
"Ah!" Selena gasped. "But there's one problem. Normal humans can't control ena like us summoners. Even if you give them the equipment, they won't be able to activate it."
"That depends on who makes it." Nathan grinned. "Don't we already have the finest expert in that field?"
"Finest expert?" Selena tilted her head in confusion before remembering one professor who was actually doing the same kind of research. "Don't tell me. Professor Melissa?"
"Correct. What if we ask her to create a magic circle that can fulfill all that requirement as a means to power up their physical abilities?"
"That might be possible."
"Yes. How about making Melissa's shop a Magic Tool Shop? This will be the start of replacing things with magical tools. Even normal equipment can be turned into a magical tool."
"That might be possible. The process will be gradual, but if it continues to improve, the whole world will benefit from it." Selena nodded.
Sylvia couldn't help but listen to their conversation, only to find how shocking it was for Nathan to think about the common people.
Despite all his achievements, he wasn't arrogant and still continued to think about them. Although Nathan didn't know about it, Sylvia was planning to spread the rumor so that Nathan's kindness would be known.
Nathan, on the other hand, noticed something. "Now that we're talking about armor, how about having your avatar wear armor as well?"
"That's what I've been thinking as well. However, recently, I've been trying to come up with another thing." Selena squinted her eyes.
"Another thing? What is it?"
"I'm thinking about making my next familiar my lifebound familiar and gaining the blood element.
"On the other hand, it looks like my power is much more suitable to remain neutral or without an element. However, I still believe that I should take advantage of the blood element.
"It's not just about my family being a vampire family for generations. If I have to say my reason, I'm wondering if I can actually envelop my avatar with blood.
"Through my control, I'm thinking about turning my avatar to be close to that of a real giant. It will have the humanoid body and cover it with my blood element like a normal living being before creating muscle and other things.
"Eventually, my avatar will reach the level of a homunculus."
"!!!" Nathan widened his eyes in shock. That was right. He didn't consider this.
He originally thought about the avatar because he wanted to copy a certain ability. However, Selena thought much further ahead.
If she managed to create a homunculus with her own ability alone instead of research, there would definitely be a lot of applications.
If she dressed her homunculus similar to herself, she could fake her death or even confuse the enemy. With the correct combination or plan, this kind of homunculus would be overpowered.
And in this world, she would be the only one to have the ability to create it. In other words, it would be her unique ability.
He was once again reminded of how talented Selena was.
"That might be possible. Besides, who knows what kind of improvement you can make in the future? Because it's fully under the control of your ena, it won't have rationality.
"So there's nothing I should say regarding your intention other than good luck. I know you can do it."
Selena smiled. "Thank you."
"Still, does no one in your family have the ability to do the same thing? Well, I wasn't that interested in your family before this, but maybe I should learn a bit more about your family? For example, where did the prejudice against female summoners come from?"
