...

Three months later.

In the courtyard of the Yahweh Familia, Mika and Ais were engaged in continuous sparring.

"Clang!"

Ais's longsword collided violently with Mika's greatsword.

The wind enveloping the longsword and the fire surrounding the greatsword neutralized each other in midair, sending sparks of wind and fire scattering in all directions.

"Your power isn't concentrated enough!"

Feeling the force transmitted through Ais's sword, Mika chuckled as he offered his critique.

At the same time, gripping his sword with both hands, he twisted his wrists, disrupting Ais's sword momentum.

Seeing this, the gusts of wind wrapping around Ais suddenly swirled, allowing her to retreat to a safe distance.

She avoided Mika's counterattack.

Watching Ais retreat, Mika couldn't help but marvel, "Your progress is astonishing!"

Already a master swordswoman, coupled with her extraordinary ability to sense the rhythm of the wind, Ais was making rapid strides in both the breathing technique and wind-based martial arts.

In just three months, her swordsmanship and breathing had shown signs of merging.

Moreover, as her mastery of the Breath of Wind improved, her control over her own magic, "Ariel," was steadily increasing.

The combination of the two caused Ais's combat power to soar.

Especially in manipulating the wind, even though she hadn't fully mastered the Breath of Wind, she could already control the wind as if she had.

Just moments ago, even though Ais hadn't reached the domain of the "Transparent World," she could anticipate Mika's movements by sensing the freely flowing wind around her.

"Wind!"

At Ais's command, the surrounding gusts gathered toward her.

The next moment, even from a considerable distance, Ais swung her longsword at Mika.

Azure winds transformed into blades as she swung, slicing through the air toward Mika.

"Wind Sword Energy? Though it looks more like wind blades!"

Reversing his grip on the hilt, Mika held his greatsword horizontally in front of him.

The fierce flames condensed onto the blade, transforming into pure red light flowing along the sword's edge.

The incoming wind blades struck Mika's sword; without him making any move, they dissipated into the air.

"Still not concentrated enough!"

Mika continued his assessment.

As a teacher, this sparring session was to gauge Ais's true strength and learning progress.

This way, he could focus on correcting her weaknesses.

Just like now, Mika compressed his flames to the extreme, making it seem as if there were no flames at all.

When Ais's wind collided with his sword, the insufficiently condensed wind blades naturally dispersed.

It's like a clump of dirt colliding with iron, the dirt crumbles, not the iron.

Hearing Mika's critique, Ais remained unfazed.

This was routine for her.

But her next move surprised Mika.

She swung her longsword, and winds from all directions converged toward where Mika stood.

In an instant, a storm formed, trapping Mika within.

"A magic swordsman, huh?"

Mika immediately recognized Ais's manipulation technique.

It wasn't a martial arts move but a magical one.

"Oh, so this is the enhancement method Riveria thought of for Ais after seeing her Breath of Wind!"

"Not bad at all!"

Mika was highly satisfied with Ais's current approach.

After all, the essence of the Breath of Wind is to harness wind elements in combat.

The reason it's taught as a martial art is because both Mika and Yahweh are martial arts experts.

And the original breathing techniques are rooted in martial arts.

Although Yahweh was well-versed in Type-Moon magic, considering Mika wasn't adept at magic and all three were skilled swordsmen, the new breathing techniques were still transmitted in martial form.

However, in mastering elemental techniques, Yahweh had incorporated many magical manipulation skills from the Type-Moon world.

Now, with Ais manipulating wind elements through magic, it could, in a certain sense, better stimulate her potential.

After all, her mother was a great wind spirit!

"But your magical knowledge and skills are still too flimsy!"

Swinging his greatsword, Mika executed a 360-degree horizontal slash, cutting the tornado surrounding him in half.

"When you compress elements to the extreme like I do, facing techniques with insufficiently condensed elements leads to situations like this where sheer power overcomes skill."

"Although you're progressing rapidly, you're still far from mastering elemental control!"

Mika laughed.

He was extremely pleased with his student, Ais.

Although sometimes her rapid progress caught him off guard, forcing him to secretly seek Yahweh's help with lesson plans, the joy of watching his carefully nurtured sapling grow was truly gratifying.

"Condense, huh?"

Silently contemplating the techniques Mika had taught her about compressing elements, Ais raised her longsword high.

"Wind, Awaken!"

She silently chanted her magical incantation and continued to harness the surrounding wind using the breathing technique.

In the fusion of these two forces, endless wind flowed toward Ais's sword.

"Going for a grand finale, are we?"

The swirling storm tousled Mika's hair. Standing amidst the fierce gusts, he shouted to Mellie, who was standing nearby, "Mellie, reinforce the barrier around the courtyard."

"Got it!"

Mellie immediately pulled out her staff and began casting.

In the courtyard of the Yahweh Familia, besides detection barriers, there was also an illusion barrier to conceal anomalies.

Although Mellie could easily manage such things, she couldn't maintain the barrier constantly.

What she needed to do now was activate her illusion magic to conceal the phenomena in the courtyard with stronger magic.

After all, Ais's upcoming move was indeed powerful.

"Condense!"

"Condense!"

"Condense!"

Continuously chanting "condense" in her mind.

Ais drew in the surrounding wind, compressing it onto her sword.

The intense wind power kept compressing, but soon, Ais's sword couldn't contain it.

The wind blade began to extend upward.

Finally, what appeared before Mika was Ais holding aloft an azure greatsword over ten meters long.

Seeing this familiar scene, Mika couldn't help but comment.

"So, the ultimate move of magic swordsmen is a beam attack, huh!"

After all, that's how his own magic worked.

"Then let's do this!"

After his jest, Mika smiled and chanted, "Ignite! O chariot of blazing flames!"

"Ah!"

Ais shouted loudly, swinging down the giant sword in her hands.

Mika also swung his flaming greatsword.

The next moment, a vortex of wind and fire surged straight into the sky.

---

"Ah, that hit the spot!"

Gulping down the iced drink Airmid had made, Mika couldn't help but sigh after finishing their sparring.

"Nothing beats a cold drink in the summer!"

Slamming his cup down on the table, Mika laughed, "Another round!"

"Coming right up!"

Hearing Mika's request, Airmid picked up the pitcher and poured him another glass.

Then, she turned to pour a glass for Ais, who had just finished her drink.

"Don't be shy; have some more!"

Airmid said with a smile.

They all adored the cute little Ais.

"Thank you!"

Ais smiled and nodded.

Ever since becoming Mika's student, her mood had been improving day by day over the past three months.

She could truly feel her strength increasing rapidly.

The members of the Loki Familia were amazed by Ais's transformation.

Especially Riveria, who usually trained with her.

No one understood Ais's growth better than she did.

"By the way!"

Just as Ais was happily sipping her drink, Mika suddenly said, "Ais, starting tomorrow, I'm giving you a week's vacation. Don't come over during this time."

"Huh? Why?"

Hearing Mika's words, Ais immediately set her cup down on the table.

She stood up and anxiously asked.

"Because the four of us have things to do over the next week!"

Mellie said with a smile, "The 'Breath of Wind' you've been practicing was something we painstakingly researched, and in the coming week, we're going to be doing similar work."

"Creating techniques?"

Ais asked in astonishment.

"That's right!"

Mika said seriously, "I noticed you were using magic techniques you learned from Riveria earlier. In my opinion, that's a good path for you."

"However, you've only recently started learning magic techniques, so they aren't very effective yet."

"So during this week's break, go back and ask Riveria to help you figure out how to better use magic to enhance your elemental manipulation skills."

"Understand?"

"Understood!"

Ais nodded firmly.

In her view, since Mika and the others had such important things to do, she should sensibly follow their instructions.

As long as Mika didn't expel her from apprenticeship and stop teaching her, she could accept any directive.

Seeing Ais accept the break and smile again, Mika nodded in satisfaction.

What they said earlier was, of course, a pretense.

Developing techniques was Yahweh's task; it had nothing to do with them.

What they were going to do in the next seven days was travel to another world.

It had been a long time since Mika reached Level 4.

During this period, they hadn't ventured into a new world.

As for why they were doing it now, they felt a sense of urgency.

Due to Finn and the others reaching Level 6, the dark faction forces had retreated into the shadows.

But this was only temporary.

Although Finn's move had delayed the dark faction's actions, it wouldn't stop them.

It wouldn't even delay them for long.

Because both Zald and Alfia were dying.

They didn't have much time left.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be undertaking such actions.

So the lifespans of Alfia and Zald were the deadlines for this impending battle.

Before then, Mika and the others had to quickly enhance their strength.

To prepare for the confrontation with Alfia.

"Zald aside, Alfia must die by my hand. I will send her off on her final journey."

Mika thought silently.

After resting, Mika and Ais resumed their combat stance.

After three months of training, Ais had mastered all the techniques of the Breath of Wind.

What she needed now wasn't practice but actual combat.

Only through continuous battles could she deepen her understanding.

Allowing her to move toward an even brighter future.

...

"Thank you for today, Sensei. I'll be heading back now."

In the evening, after dinner, Ais bid farewell and prepared to leave the Yahweh Familia.

"Make sure to practice well during the next week, okay? After a week, I'll thoroughly check your progress."

Mika said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Ais responded earnestly.

"But being apart from you for a whole week feels so long!"

A hint of dejection appeared on Ais's face.

Seeing this, Mika couldn't help but smile wryly.

They needed a week because they didn't know how long they would spend in the other world.

If they stayed too long, they would become disconnected from this world.

This state could easily reveal inconsistencies.

Especially now that Ais spent time with them daily.

It would be even easier for her to notice.

So they needed a week to adjust and reconnect with this world.

"Don't worry; it's just a week!"

Reaching out, Mika patted Ais's head to comfort her.

"Okay!"

Ais nodded, then said goodbye, "See you in a week, Sensei!"

"See you!"

Mika waved as he bid her farewell.

...

As darkness enveloped them, Mika, his two companions, and Gabriel vanished from the room and reappeared in a dense forest.

"Where are we?"

Looking around, Mika asked curiously.

"Do you even need to ask? It's obviously a forest!"

Mellie replied with a chuckle.

At this, Mika gave Mellie a helpless look.

Did she think he didn't realize they were in a forest?

He was wondering which world this was!

"There's a road over there. It seems we're in a forest by the roadside."

After some exploration, Airmid said seriously to Mika.

"Then let's go. Let's head to the road and see if we can encounter any travelers to gather information about this world."

"Alright!"

Hearing Mika's suggestion, both Airmid and Mellie nodded.

The three of them then walked toward the road ahead.

"Doesn't seem like there's anyone around!"

Standing on the wide road and observing the deserted surroundings, Mellie couldn't help but comment.

Meanwhile, Mika stared at the ground, deep in thought.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from behind them.

Although the sound was somewhat distant, the keen hearing of Mika and his companions picked it up clearly.

"Let's go!"

Without hesitation, the three of them sprinted toward the source of the sound.

After all, what they needed most now was people.

To learn about this world.
