Chapter 227
We went to the shopping center to look around for things needed for Training.
PET bottles for hydration and nutrition, food, sweat-absorbing Towel, Meleoron for changing clothes and seams, as well as vests and Wristband for Heavy Training.
Uranus and I went shopping while consulting with my siblings, who were walking a bit slowly.
"Is this all I can buy?"
"Isn't it enough for now?
If you need anything, just come back and buy it."
I nodded at Uranus's words. There is no point in buying too many unnecessary things. This isn't camping, so there aren't many essentials.
That said, it turned out to be a considerable amount. About 40,000 Jenny. I also bought a vest and a change of clothes, so it couldn't be helped. I have ensured a sufficient budget, but if I keep using it without earning money, I might not be able to Stick to the end. That is why Uranus also earns money when possible.
Anyway, after finishing shopping, we left Otania on foot, looking for a place suitable for Training.
The signs of autumn were strong not only in the city but also around Otania. Yellow and red forests could be seen everywhere. Perhaps there is an event here.
"For now, let's go to a place that seems to go unnoticed."
Uranus headed toward the nearby forest.
"Aren't there monsters around here?"
When Cime asked, Uranus seemed to think a little,
"The area where you encounter enemies is very narrow.
Especially near the city, it tends to be far from where monsters appear, possibly because it is close to the safe zone."
"Eh? Why is it that the closer you are to the safe zone, the further away the places where enemies appear are?"
Hearing Meleoron's question, Uranus smiled wryly,
"If you go out of your way to fight monsters far away, it takes time to get back, at the very least you have to use a Movement Spell.
Even for Meleoron, if you want to earn money by fighting monsters, you should be closer to the city, right?"
"……Hmm, once it's dangerous, you can run away."
"Sister, you've seen me when I play games, right?
I hang around castles and towns. That's how it is."
"Ah, that's it!
I understand, that's why I do it this way."
I agreed with Seam's explanation. I knew the reason, but you explained it well. I wonder if this is a bit off-topic.
"What Uranus wants to say is that monsters don't spawn near safer cities, so you can't easily earn money by killing monsters, right?
There is a limit to how many cards you can hold."
"Ah."
The sisters' voices were convincing. As for the cards, that is the unique reason for Greed Island.
"Yeah. There is also the fact that someone who defeats it from afar shouldn't look stupid.
As Aisha said, the number of free pockets is limited, so I think they are more careful than the ordinary games Seam plays.
Even ignoring safety, it costs money for anyone to go back and forth. That's how we adjust the game's difficulty."
"Ah... so that's how it is. It's not easy."
Meleoron nodded.
"So, if you want to fight monsters, you have to buy information from the Trade Shop and go there yourself."
"Hmm. This island is huge.
Is this still a difficult enough event?"
Uranus agreed with Meleoron's words.
"Most areas where monsters appear randomly are between two destination points.
If it's a proper place, nothing will come out unless you are unlucky."
From the management's perspective, the cost of placing monsters is reasonable. All monsters are Nen Bead. That is why by placing them at key points that could become transit points, one can create the feeling of encountering monsters in various places.
As I walked through the forest, there was a place that was like a point, a circular square. Surrounded by green trees, an affordable space for exercise.
I must have had the same thought. Uranus stopped and turned to face us.
"Are we staying here?
Aisha. You might want to start immediately, but you have to prepare a weight, so please wait a moment for Training.
If it were something else, you could have already started."
"……Are you ready now?
This takes quite a long time, doesn't it?"
Milky, it seems you spend a lot of time. Perhaps because I do a lot.
"Well, it depends on the weight.
How heavy should the vest and Wristband be?"
…………Now, should I only think about myself?
"Then... 300 would be best."
"────Pfft!?"
Uranus burst out. What?
"300!? In kilogram units!?"
"Well, yes, of course."
"300 kilograms!? Really...?"
"Uh, is that impossible? Ah, of course it's for me, right?"
"Also, if possible, if you could give me 4 Wristbands, 50 dollars each..."
"Hello!?"
Uranus stumbled and knelt on the ground. A big reaction.
Meleoron's face turned pale,
"Aisha, you..."
"Without an aura, are you going to give me 500 kilograms of weight?"
"Yeah."
"... Sigh, I have to watch everyone's Training too."
"That's why I want to finish my Training in a short time."
The real purpose is to alleviate the lack of exercise. If it were yesterday's amount of exercise, the load would not be enough. My body has started to rust, so I must retrain it.
Uranus suddenly stood up.
"Eh, that..."
"Sorry. I still underestimated Aisha too much..."
... A bit rude. That's fine, though.
"Well, I'm sorry, but if you make it that Heavy, there will be all sorts of problems."
"Once it's Heavy, it's not easy to lighten it."
"So if you make it too Heavy, you know?"
"I don't mind?"
"After all, if it's too Heavy, I won't call you light."
"No, no. That's not it."
"Assuming 300 kilograms is best.... What do you plan to do after the Training is over?"
... One.
"You have to carry it, right? We don't have a base."
"First of all, leave such a Heavy vest at the inn. If you slip, you'll fall through the floor, right?"
Ah. I didn't think of that. Hahahaha.... Because I used to camp outdoors often, it didn't matter.
"I want to intervene."
Meleoron raised his hand. Uranus gestured for him to speak.
"In short, isn't it very dangerous if it's Heavy and then light?"
"Do you want me to put that kind of thing in my backpack? It's impossible to move while wearing it."
"..."
Silent Uranus. I agree. That is serious.
After various consultations, I decided it was impossible to carry the Heavy vest and Wristbands.
So, I concluded to leave it in this forest plaza. After finishing the Training, put it in a bag and leave it here. Such a Heavy thing, yes, no one will steal it. When it's time to practice, I'll come again.
That is to say, this will be a training ground for the time being. I can't help but make a base. When you have no choice but to move the base, you will have to do your best to carry it. However, you can easily carry it using a movement Spell.
I negotiated with Uranus, and for now, I chose a 200kg vest and 25kg x 4 Wristbands. However, it is enough as a load, so it's fine.
The best two people are 60, and one Wristband is 10 kilograms.
Not for Uranus. He said flatly that he didn't want it. It's meaningless to him, yes. I think I'll talk about the reason later.
The three of us stared at Uranus, who was sitting on the ground with the vest in his hands.
"... Why are you looking at me?"
"You can start your Training separately."
I thought he didn't want to be watched because he kept staring at his vest, but it turned out to be a star.
"No, that's what I'm curious about. I want to know what happened."
"I want to watch too."
"I want to watch too, so I can train later."
"Well, that."
"If you look at me like that..."
For some reason, Uranus exhaled after his face turned red.
"I don't mind, but..."
"I'm used to the role of carving gods, and Beans is staring at me."
Good evening. I came up with another name.
"Uranus, do you know Beans?"
"Oh yeah..."
"Netero's divine request, Beans came all the way to my house to ask."
"So, although you often hear complaints about Netero, why are you studying the divine role?"
"Ahahaha."
Hidden. It doesn't bother me. The divine role requires a lot of attention.
Also, the secretary came to complain to the chairman, and Beans is easy to deal with.... Netero, you. You put too much energy into Beans.
"Then, first is the vest for Aisha."
"Give me a minute or two."
"Teeth?"
I couldn't help but ask back. 2 minutes, what?
Uranus put the vest on the ground and placed his index finger on it. He began to knead it.
Eh? What is this. It's completely different from the Kamiji I know.
"……Hmm, are you working?
You are writing Kamiji right now, aren't you?"
"Yes, of course."
"……I see. Aisha, is this your first time seeing me write Kamiji?"
"What?
You, aren't you showing it to us for the first time?"
"No.
I was fiddling with Aisha's hairband. I was writing it then.
I didn't even say I was writing."
As he spoke, Uranus placed his finger on his vest, keeping it moving constantly.
This is…… finger as pen, Aura as ink? Usually, when writing Divine Rune, you would use a special brush and ink. Moreover, it takes a lot of time, and it is careful and meticulous.
I know I am not a Divine Language expert, but...
Is this a professional level? I feel like it's not normal.
"……If I want to, I can write a Divine Rune that can change its Heavy as needed.
Honestly, it is both complex and time-consuming. Also, it uses up Aura every time it changes, and there is a time limit, so I don't really want to do it."
So that's how it is…… As far as Milluki is concerned, it feels like using my Nen Ability and Divine Rune to fix gravity Manipulation. In other words, this is a method only Milluki can do.
Uranus is completely different. Instead of trying to establish a Nen Ability, he first wrote a Divine Rune for this effect. This is probably a fairly complex Divine character. This is definitely a different level.
Rune Hunter, right?
"Then, is it easy to make something heavier?"
Uranus closed his lips slightly, letting Meleoron stare,
"……No, it's simple.
The structure is simple, but when writing the Divine Rune, you have to inject a lot of Aura into it. It is still being scraped away."
…………This is also one of the reasons why I don't want to make it too heavy. Simply put, the heavier it is, the more Aura it requires. Is that it?
"……Hmm. I succeeded.
I will leave it here, but be careful when you pick it up and put it on."
Uranus turned around and grabbed another vest. He seemed to start working on the next character immediately. He really finished it in a minute or two......
I lifted the vest that was still in place. Yes, it's definitely around 200 kilograms. I skipped the sleeves. I warmed up lightly.
"Eh……
Why can you wear 200 kilograms and move so lightly?"
"……Because that is how you move your body.
If you move properly, you will go 'bang'. This is correct."
I returned it to the suspicious Meleoron. It is an extension of the Hidden form. A technique that doesn't make a sound, high like this, this is what happens.
"Hey, I have one more."
"Yes!?"
Only about 30 seconds had passed.
I lifted that vest. ……Yes. Probably 60 kilograms.
"Meleoron, please put this on."
"Eeeee, are you serious? 60 kilograms or something……"
"This one is normal.
Put this on to warm up."
"Uh…… You say the standard for normal is terrifying."
That's rude. ……I think this is a weight that an ordinary Nen user can also withstand.
A set of weighted vests and Wristband were ready, and we were ready to start Training. ……On Meleoron's side, he seemed to be crushed before the Training even started. I am so full with Aura, this is the state……
"Chen, are you okay?
I will let you move now."
"No, this won't work.
If it's too heavy, it's like this."
"Suddenly, 100 kilograms might be tough......
No matter how much."
Uranus said with a weary face. You sound like you're having a hard time.
"Chen, even if you use 'Kneading' to fully open your Ren, you still can't move?"
"I'm already doing it!"
So in this state…… not good. Should we lower our standards further?
"……
Then Chen shouldn't move. It's fine to stay in place, just adapt to its weight first."
"Can't you sit down?"
"No, that doesn't count as Training."
"Please stand up as much as possible."
"Wuu wuu."
Meleoron seems to be able to manage just by using his Aura. I have been sweating non-stop since before the Training started.
"Now, let me explain the Training policy for the two of you.
First of all, Seam is absolutely lacking in Aura quantity, the technique of manipulating Aura, and basic physical fitness. It seems their athletic ability isn't very good.
The best way to train them at once is to perform exercises while adding Heavy weight. Before acquiring special combat techniques and Nen Ability, I will train them thoroughly first."
Seam looks like they are about to die. Hmm. A kilometer. Even if you fall, I will pick up your bones.
"Next is Meleoron.
I think you are still quite satisfied with the amount of Aura, but your physical skills need strengthening, and your basic physical fitness is not high. Your athletic ability is also better than Seam's.
I want to talk to you about how to develop your Nen Ability, but to become stronger, the best method is to perform high-intensity exercise while carrying a load.
In any case, focus on using your Aura to strengthen your body. To put it bluntly, in the current situation, it is a waste of Aura."
"Atashi, this is a specialty, so first—"
"I am also a specialist.
Your proficiency is a problem for later."
Meleoron fainted because his excuse was shot down.... Hmm, I know what you mean. But this is different from using that excuse as a shield to avoid proper Training.
"I cannot use my Aura, so I will increase this weight and perform basic Training in the same way.
After—"
Our gazes turned to Uranus, who was still sitting on the ground.
"... Alright, first, start your own Training.
Even if Aisha is resting, I will discuss with her what to do."
Hmm. Honestly, there is no chance for Uranus's Training policy. How should this person be cultivated? It is said that the Aura quantity will not increase, and the technique is almost complete.
... Well, I think I will have to consider it later. I have too little information on him.
Clap! Clap your hands,
"The pleasant Training begins like this.
Seam, please hold on for at least another 10 minutes."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk...!"
"Meleoron, first, please adjust your breathing.
It is useless to be exhausted just from standing."
"Goo."
"Please do not slack off while I am training; I will be watching you closely."
"I am also watching."
"Gaga!"
Hahaha. Good answer.
Meleoron managed to calm his breathing and do gymnastics while letting his body creak. When you get used to it, I wonder if I will let you run. No, let's walk around first. If you are desperate, it is okay to keep pushing. That kind of momentum.
After about five minutes instead of ten, Seam knelt on the ground. It was too early for the Aura to hit rock bottom; it must have been my body that made a sound first. I had no choice, so I removed the Heavy weight to let them rest. I need you to recover as soon as possible.
How long will it take for these members to do Kumite? I hope someone can be my partner, but there is no one. Kumite with a load is the most comprehensive way to train, but it cannot be helped, so I can only work hard to improve my strength now.
"... What is this, that stupid speed push-up?"
Meleoron, whose tone was annoyed while doing gymnastics. Is this normal? The single-arm and finger support without Aura are solid.
30 minutes after the Training started. My whole body, Kengo, Meleoron, passed through the square briskly during Training. I sometimes walk normally. My breathing is difficult, but I feel I can still do it.
Seam is a repetition of standing and resting.... It seems I can only take it slow. There is no way, because there is no way to recover.
Uranus is trying to recover his Aura with Absolute. I haven't rested yet, so I have no choice but to do this. Sometimes I tell Meleoron and Seam to work hard or take a break.
──An hour passed.
It is good to take a break, so I will rest soon. What is that? Since the load is not enough, I can only adjust the amount of exercise in some way. Leorio is also not here, so even if I get injured, I cannot be treated.
Seam is no longer twitching. I am just lying on my back breathing. The Aura seems to have reached its limit, and it is impossible to go any further. A child with many problems.
Meleoron also tried his best until he managed to run with Hatsu, but he started resting a while ago and is sitting there without any sign of moving. Uranus doesn't even talk to him, so he probably really can't move. Aura shouldn't be cut off, but strengthening basic physical fitness and Aura is a challenge after all.
However, the "Extreme" they both did for recovery is excellent. It appeared naturally. I didn't erase that existence, but I can understand that the Aura was cut off cleanly.
"Hmm, how much have you recovered?"
The two people behind me were startled. No, no, you can rest.
Uranus, who was sitting, looked up at me looking down,
"Good.
... Won't Aisha lose weight?"
"Eh.
Well, you can still take a break."
Uranus looked unconvinced,
"It's okay, but at least sit down..."
As requested, I sat quietly in front of Uranus. If I don't exercise, I will recover.
Uranus stared.
"... This is a big deal.
Of course, even with a total of 300, it seems there is not enough load."
"Oh, you understand?"
"Can you make it Heavy?"
"……How should I put it, you're just being unreasonable like that."
Oh. I was somehow stabbed.
"I would rather have more Wristbands of the same weight, but tomorrow. I don't have any more."
"The two of you might use the one you're wearing later, so I want to keep it as is."
I understand…… is that okay? I don't need to rush.
"Yes, I understand that."
"……I want to do something for your Training as soon as possible."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"I don't know what to do……"
Hmm…… it feels like asking you to consult me on how to become stronger than this. Uranus seems capable of solving most things on his own.
"I think it's best to join forces with Aisha, but my martial arts start with Aura……"
"Even if you have Aura, you can't deal with Meleoron."
"……That area can't do anything right now."
"Yes. That is the reason I am in trouble."
"The biggest problem is that I don't have a body that can undergo Training."
"……It seems I have to speak slowly."
"It seems both of you are having a hard time, so how about we talk later just in case?"
"Can we? m."
"Since it's spent on using Ren, I feel like I'll forget about this, but I can't confirm how much you two know about Ren."
Indeed. The basic knowledge regarding Mindfulness is very important. You cannot Escape without knowing it. It is best to have them review it, even if they will realize its importance all over again.
I stood up and looked at the limping Meleoron and Seam.
"You two, let's take a break."
"Get water and nutrition."
"Alright!"
"Yeah……"
Meleoron, are you okay? Should I run for a while? …… Waiting is also like this, is it okay for later?
