“...Despite that, you got the titles, while I didn’t. What’s the meaning of that, sir?”

“Hmm...”

I thought about it more, scratching my head.

Anyway, since I’ve got so many titles, it makes sense that I was able to beat Lylia in her boosted state

Even if I had talent as a WARRIOR, it wasn’t understandable at all that I managed to beat a former Holy Warrior like her.

Recently... actually, JUST NOW, my belief about one particular thing changed.

–I possess way too many titles.

Pochi has a lot, too, perhaps due to her long life and powerful personality, but even then, I have quite a bit more than her.

What could even be the cause of this?

“I know just one thing...”

“What is it, sir?”

“I have an easier time gaining new titles.”

“But you don’t know why.”

I nodded.

I really don’t know. And this time, Pochi actually is taking this topic seriously, even though she normally would have started laughing by now.

After all, this is a matter of life and death for all of us.

“Well, it’s not a bad thing. I think I’ll go outside and train to get used to this body.”

“Yes, sir! Here’s hoping we’re strong enough to take on Gaspard next time!”

...Yeah, we can only hope.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Heading back to the magic classroom venue, we were greeted with surprise from Irene, Warren, and Lylia.

“I wish you would have shown us how to use the Limit Breakthrough once, you know — That way, you would have gotten stronger, too.”

Irene said sarcastically.

“Pochi, I wish this version of you were there to help us back at the Scarlet Devil Wetlands — Miss Lylia would have had a much easier time then.”

Warren said sarcastically.

“What a dumbass.”

Lylia said... quite bluntly, actually.

Well, I honestly can’t do anything but agree with them.

Suddenly, a little girl hopped down from the roof of a nearby building.

“Ash!”

Well, actually, no — Melchi technically isn’t a little girl.

I’ve heard from Irene that she was another one of her classmates, along with Gaston and Billy. What a surprise.

Melchi must’ve used an Arcane Energy Circulation Optimizer, just like Irene.

She’s also pursued a topic of research similar to Irene’s at around the same time, supposedly.

“What’s up, Mel?”

“Big guy’s callin’!”

“You mean Tūs?”

What does he want now?

He was here just now, and there shouldn’t be anything preventing him from shooting me a Telepathic Call.

While wondering that, I headed once again toward the south of Eddo.

The three others are coming along as well, maybe to see how we train to get used to our bodies.

After we walked through the south gate of Eddo, the looks in Pochi and Lylia’s eyes changed.

Warren and Irene seem to have noticed, too.

“Sure is quiet ’round here.”

“Is this what I think it is...?”

Warren answered to clear up my doubt,

“Yes, all of the arcane essences around us are converging towards a single point.”

Normally, I would have been able to tell, but right now, I just have to trust my allies when it comes to things relating to the use of arcane energy.

Anyway, what is this supposed to mean? Does it have anything to do with why Tūs has called me here?

Suddenly, I saw Tūs in the distance... and my body froze.

At first glance, he looks like he’s relaxing with the way he’s sitting cross-legged, but his back is straight, and he’s casting his eyes down in silence.

His sheer concentration feels especially strong.

The arcane energy in and around him is so dense that even the wind seems to avoid blowing his way — even I, exhausted of arcane energy, could tell that.

“So, you done?”

Tūs asked me, his eyes still closed.

“W-what?”

“Limit Breakthrough, what else?”

“Uh-huh? Yeah, I’m done with it now, why?”

The moment I gave my answer, Tūs opened his eyes — and at the same time, a huge blast of green light burst forth.

I’ve never seen Tūs act like this before. Not even that time he tested me when I was about to infiltrate Regalia Castle.

His expression looks completely serious, his arcane energy tensed up.

The pressure is so powerful that no one could bring themselves to speak.

Aside from Tūs himself, of course.

“So I think it’s about time for your graduation exam...”

He proceeded to hit me with a wave of bloodthirst he had never shown before.
