Chapter 271

Now, let the interesting Training begin!

Before I forget, I will update the weight of the vest Meleoron wears from 60 kilograms to 65 kilograms.

"Oops."

The pervert makes a dirty sound, but I won't forgive you. Even Uranus seems able to reduce his weight, even though he is already tired from adding so much weight. When I added two extra 200-kilogram weights, my complexion turned pale, but...

Without a 60-kilogram vest with Aura, Seam has no strength to move. On the other hand, if I wait for my Aura to recover, my Training efficiency is still poor, so I changed my strategy today.

No vest, only Wristbands on the hands and feet.

A 10-kilogram Wristband, which I use to make myself bear the load. Must keep the arms level or walk. Using Aura is prohibited. This is the Training I gave Shim. Cultivate a sense of left-right balance and straighten the slightly twisted torso.

If you want to rest your legs, you must stretch your arms horizontally. If you want to rest your arms, you must walk. With 10 kilograms on each limb, Seam's muscle strength will not be too heavy.

If it is difficult to train with Aura, then train your body with Absolute. If the Aura recovers, I will let you perform Cultivation with Aura. Hmm, this is a perfect plan.

... I thought, but reality is not that sweet.

Even with "Absolute," Aura does not necessarily recover. If the body and mind are overloaded, fatigue exceeding the recovery amount will appear. For Seam's physical ability, it seems that even this load is still painful.

It's hard without a foundation... well, that's right. Hard work is difficult because it is hard at the beginning. Seam isn't growing slowly, so I don't think I should be extravagant.

On the other hand, Meleoron is growing significantly. Even with a total weight of 105 kilograms, there is no slowing down. The growth of basic physical fitness and the strengthening rate of Aura produce a synergistic effect. I am still hesitating whether to improve physical strength or practice comprehensive martial arts.

While thinking about such things, I exercise my body, exercise my body, exercise my body. A 450-kilogram weight and two 200-kilogram dumbbells. As expected, it is difficult without Aura. Well, this is a comfortable load.

... Yes, I know this is escaping reality. What should I do, Uranus? It's hard to train him because he is exhausted every day. If you overuse it, it will be dangerous when other players come. If I had the breath of "En," I could do anything, but when I don't have it, if a large group of people attacks me with Nen Ability or spells, I don't seem to be able to overcome them. I have a Seam.

Considering this, Meleoron's combat power rise is an urgent kitchen problem. Considering the amount of lurking breath, she should be able to exert her abilities most stably.... However, I am worried that the pervert is too strong.

For now, finish a set of muscle training, exhale, and walk to sit in front of Uranus.

"... Hmm, Kumite?"

I want you to stop, because I want to bully you while you look up anxiously, right? Little animal.

"Do you want Kumite?"

"Hmm? No, I don't."

"You don't have to force yourself to go out with me.

Unless Uranus wants to hone his skills."

"... It is more efficient for the three of us to become stronger than for me to become stronger.

Because—"

A little animal still arguing was tapped on the top of its head, making him quiet down.

"Don't worry too much about people.

... It really makes me sick."

".... Sorry."

I thought I would apologize. There's no way at all...

I sat cross-legged in front of Uranus.

"When resting, I just want to discuss our training policy with you.

After that, our safety will become an issue related to this."

"Ugh...

I feel like talking about it during rest time is heavy."

I picked up the Towel and water Uranus handed me, and responded while wiping sweat.

"I won't talk for that long.

We have to make adjustments based on the training results of the two of us, so this is just the current policy."

"If you are going to take a break, at least reduce the weight..."

"Rest is also part of Training."

"I don't understand why..."

Uranus shook his head sadly. Even if you say so.

"Oh, please don't go off-topic.

It's Seam, but for the time being, should I continue to exert force?"

"Yes, I think so.

To put it bluntly, as long as you have physical strength, muscle strength, and Aura, you can sometimes Escape.

Of course, it's impossible for me to Escape completely because I have a Movement Spell, but as long as I don't get hurt, it doesn't matter."

"... It's scary if you're worried."

"We can all say that.

As long as someone in Greed Island can use it to that extent."

"Don't let your guard down."

"Of course. It's impossible for us to maintain a perfect defensive posture all the time.

So, besides Seam, is the main topic Meleoron?"

"Yes. I think it might be time for her to revise her policy.

You can see it growing."

"The current situation is that we are improving our physical fitness while improving our physical fitness.

I think the current efficiency is good, but why revise the policy?"

"Like I said, it's a safety issue.

Right now, our defensive power is what you are being petty about at this point.

However, in the process of game capture and training, sometimes I have to wait for your recovery and cannot take the next step because I rely on you alone, exhausting myself. In the current situation where you are solely responsible for maintaining safety, you cannot expect early progress in capture and training."

"……

In other words, it's terrible that I don't rely on you."

Uranus looked sad. I felt like I would be caught up in the rhythm unintentionally.

"……Already!

I didn't say that, so please don't judge me. Are you angry?"

"If I was joking, I'm sorry.

But Meleoron... I think its growth rate is fast enough even in its current state."

"……I can fight because of your Aura, and this isn't something I can react to quickly when attacked by Mobile Magic.

Seam is overwhelmingly lacking in actual combat, so you can't have high expectations for the current situation, and if that happens—"

"Making Meleoron available as soon as possible is a shortcut to breaking the status quo.

……I'll go check first, but Aisha has to wait a month—"

"I can be a defensive force, but I think that's too long.

……Also, I cannot use Mobile Magic. In exchange for the recovery of Aura."

"Ah, I see……

Even if someone is taken away, you won't be able to help.

Hmm..."

As we were talking, Seam approached while continuing Training.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Seam! Don't bother me!

The two of us are on a date right now!"

While running, a lecher shouted.

"Oh, right, sorry for the interruption."

"Oh no!"

"What are you sure about!?"

Seam left with a half-smile. Grumble, I'm in trouble because I don't know if you're joking or serious......

"……But is that it?

Can he really be strong? A month without exposure to another danger?"

"Ah..."

This is about Meleoron, so I believe it will fit. I have a bad premonition that the current power relationship will collapse.

……No, that kind of thing is still fine. The problem is how Meleoron will act when Seam is in danger. From what I've seen so far, I can't help but feel that I'm going to go into Fire and get seriously injured. If only I could recover...

Therefore, it must be corrected before this happens. It's not just a matter of increasing your power. It's too dangerous to let him move and make amateur judgments now.

Took a sip of water and sighed.

"Even if it's fine for now, I think we eventually need to change our policy.

Can you also consider Uranus for this?"

"You understand.

If only there were a technique suitable for a special-type Meleoron."

Put down the plastic bottle, returned the Towel to Uranus, and then stood up. This is difficult... I know.

After doing some muscle Training, I decided to call him.

"Meleoron!

……Do you want to try Kumite?"

Meleoron, who was running while adjusting his breathing, suddenly stopped. Seam also couldn't help but rest his limbs for a moment.

"Is this the same as your Spell battle the other day?"

"No. This is normal Kumite."

"……"

Miyake-mae "Too much assistance! I thought he was joking, but his expression was surprisingly serious.

"……"Absolute"?"

"No, it's normal to have Aura."

"Seriously?"

Uranus asked later. I looked at them,

"I know there is a possibility of injury, but if I am afraid, I will not be able to fight indefinitely."

"……I will oppose it for now. I personally think it's too early.

I understand the necessity of doing Kumite, but having Aura is too impatient."

"I believe Meleoron will be seriously injured in the near future.

As long as I don't know the martial significance of Meleoron-based Ren, I recognize the need to determine and provide guidance as soon as possible."

Uranus showed a bitter expression. ……Neither of them is wrong. The only difference is fear. I feel it is safer to let him train in advance in actual combat, so he is likely to get injured. Uranus thinks it is important not to get hurt.

First of all, Meleoron has already been injured in Tolaria. As long as the future is not necessarily going to end at that level, it cannot be said to be too early.

"Hmm……

What should I do?"

Meleoron looked distressed. Uranus exhaled,

"Let Meleoron decide."

"If both of you agree, there is no need for me to interject. I warned you."

Of course I know I shouldn't hurt myself. Not just Meleoron, but myself as well. Uranus will heal him, but I've heard it drains his aura, and most importantly, it's not the kind of ability that provides quick recovery. In other words, it will have an adverse effect on future strategy and Training.

Meleoron scratched the back of his head.

"Hmm...

I know what you mean.

Can I take this between... between this?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can do Kumite, but it's 'Absolute'."

I guess you want to teach physical constitution while strengthening the body with aura, but if you get hurt because of it, that's pointless, right?"

"That is indeed true, but..."

"Not everyone is a genius like you, so don't panic.

If it weren't for the conditions I just mentioned, I wouldn't have accepted."

"I am not a genius.

... Hmm, I understand. If you're going that far, let's go with 'Zetsu' Kumite."

"Hmm.

No weights, right?"

"Please remove them.

You can't wear that kind of thing in actual combat."

In short, it should be specifically for teaching practical martial arts. Then you won't need weights.

As I watched Meleoron remove the weights, I suddenly looked back.

"Hmm? Why aren't you removing your weights?"

"Hmm? Oh, right."

I can feel that Uranus and Seam have retreated. No, I haven't forgotten. Yes.

Meleoron and I are face-to-face in the center of the training ground, with some space between us.

What Meleoron said about strengthening the body with aura while teaching physical techniques ultimately comes down to 'Flow'. Unless you train it, you will inevitably fall behind in battles between Nen Users.

If you don't have the basic physique, this isn't a story. This is also a fact. If it were Meleoron or—I thought, but if she refuses to learn early, I can't force her.... It's not always possible to pack everything in. Even little Kun took a long time to master 'Dragon'.

If you have a lot of potential aura, you can honestly fight with 'Hardness', but Meleoron is a Specialist type... I'm still very worried.

"So what should I do?"

A question similar to the previous one arose. Regardless, we must see it first.

"Honestly, I don't think it's possible to teach you martial arts.

Because the body structure is different, it is not advisable to assume it is a human body to practice martial arts.

So please do as you like. Let's find out."

"Are you saying a beautiful girl is guiding me step by step? Woohoo."

"...

If you don't do it seriously—"

"I know, I know.

Tsk tsk..."

There are other reasons for not truly teaching martial arts. It just takes too long. The final conclusion is that practicing martial arts will make you stronger, but if you want to gain power quickly, fighting and killing are much faster.

Her body might have been tampered with by plastic surgery. Making the appearance closer to a human might be the limit, but it's also possible that even if you try to adjust your body and techniques, it will be of no use.

Given this possibility, Meleoron might not be able to take it seriously.

"Then let's go."

Meleoron clenched his fists and protected his body with his arms, just like an amateur fighting. Similar to the posture of so-called Boxing.

Without answering, he stepped in and reached out. Slurri slid into her arms and grabbed her jumpsuit.

"What?"

Using inertia to force Meleoron's knees to the ground. A shock went through me,

"A...

Ouch..."

Letting go of the jumpsuit, I sighed softly.

"Some people do well in their current stance, but...

What are you doing?"

"Huh? No...

Somehow. Because getting hit hurts, I wanted to protect myself with my arms."

"Is this what you call boxing?

How is it when you try it now?"

"Hmm...

As you can see. Unexpectedly, you couldn't stop it either."

"Well, that would be the case.

Boxing gloves easily slide through gaps with bare hands. My stomach is completely open.

Generally, how do you handle it facing forward? It's like you're asking me to aim at you, right?"

"Uh..."

After all, Uranus has the same feeling."

"Hey. Don't imitate me.

Meleoron, you were standing in the wrong direction from the start."

"Huh? How should I stand?"

This is correct. From there...

"Do you want me to tell you the difference between him and you?

His muscles and joints are moderately flexible, so he can move at any time. Most importantly, I stretch my nerves and finely control when and how to apply force from my waist to my toes.

You just stand there.

Just looking at it, I know it doesn't want to move."

"Uh..."

"In battle, one naturally pays attention to one's upper body.

Most attacks come from above the waist.

However, it is the lower body that moves primarily. If you rely on your own timing to cover distance, you will definitely trip over yourself.

Therefore, one must read the signs of the opponent's leg movements to seize the initiative."

"I sort of understand what you're saying, but...

Specifically?"

"The point is, you have no combat experience.

That is why I cannot read how the opponent will act in this situation. I have no experience."

"Oh dear...

Run away before they get too close. I don't know how it works at close range."

... Hmm, what happened?

Actually, I know the solution. She has already perfected it—when it was irrelevant. When it becomes an unfamiliar place, it cannot be used. That is all.

But, hey... if you teach it, it needs polishing.... That, the Harassment skill.

Being able to touch someone's nothingness is so great, so there is no reason it cannot be used in battle.

I don't want to admit it, but her contact was not out of Malice. I really just wanted to touch you. I can't get enough people to touch me. ──Movements without Malice are hard to detect. You can't always stay vigilant about the daily activities of someone around you. I'm tired.

However, shifting it to an attack is not easy. It's not that she is good at killing, it's just that she has never hurt anyone.

──No, wait a minute, okay?

Standing up to watch Meleoron pat his knee joints,

"Meleoron.

... Is there anything unpleasant, may I ask?"

"What?"

"In NGL—

Have you dealt with humans?"

"..."

In NGL, well...

You could say yes, you could say no."

"What's wrong?"

Uranus walked over here and stopped.

"Honestly, I don't remember very clearly, but...

At that time, several units were capturing humans to provide food for the Queen.

I was a Squadron Leader of one of those units, so naturally, I was at the scene.

I was using my Transparent ability, so I didn't face him head-on."

I see, so you have no combat experience. I think I am about to hit an unsuspecting opponent with a Neurotoxin. In other words, if there are conditions, there is also the knowledge of killing intent. With the ability to become Transparent, you can't even erase its presence.

Does this lead to the high development of the Harassment skill?

Uranus put his hands on his waist, thinking about something.

"What's wrong?"

"No...

I don't know the NGL scene, so that's that.

If you all broke through the place of cannibalism, it's not like you have no real combat experience.

At the end of the day, even just experiencing that atmosphere makes a big difference."

"..."

Uranus also has experience with this way of speaking.... You said you harbor Malice toward the Zoldyck family of Yorkshin. Even looking at it from a technical level, shouldn't one be able to see that it has gone through quite a lot of Wind?

I turned to Meleoron,

"I can ask with almost certainty, can Meleoron use Neurotoxin?"

"I know you know...

Yes. I can send it to you through my fangs."

"Please use it without hesitation in an emergency."

"... If possible, I don't want to use it.

Someone who is addicted might be bedridden for a long time. Well, there might be an antidote method I don't know about."

"It's not good to die from hesitating to use it, right?"

"It's better than not letting the opponent die."

Meleoron scratched his neck with a troubled look. "... I don't think this is a story I want to discuss in front of Seam. But in an emergency, I must adjust my identification."

"That being said, it's to capture them alive as food..."

"Fine, even if you say it's better not to kill you."

"Of course, I hope you treat it as a last resort."

"Because overwhelming the opponent with martial arts is most desirable. That is the purpose of Kumite."

"Yes, yes."

"I will do it seriously."

Meleoron pulled back a little distance and turned to face me.

Uranos crossed his arms, still thinking about something.

"Do you have any concerns?"

"If you have any Suggestion, please give it to me."

"No."

"If I must say something to Meleoron, I cannot give more Suggestion than Aisha."

"Not only that, does Aisha know that Chimera Ants can basically use Neurotoxin?"

"Right, um..."

"Depending on the Chimera Ant, it seems it can be emitted from which part of the body."

"Something is..."

"You mean there is a sense of incongruity? I don't really understand either."

Saying this, Uranos left.

I am in a bad mood...

For some reason, I feel I have a strange familiarity with Chimera Ants.

As for my identity, I might as well tell you the worst-case scenario. But I cannot tell you why I was able to stop the Chimera Ant biological Disaster before it spread.

I could make excuses, but if my lies were to be Discovery, I wouldn't be able to help it. Sorry...

Yes.

I can't even tell you why I want to be a man...

It's fine for now, but I believe they will ask me one day. Thinking about it, it's hard to Hidden. Guuu... the road ahead might be rough.

"Isher. Can we start?"

"Oh yes."

"Please come anytime."

"... And Seam, never be disheveled."

"You can watch the scenery while doing your homework, right?"

"Sorry!"

Yes, don't think about it now. Some good ideas will come from it.... Yes, it should float.
