-440- The completely refreshed strength

Rozen didn't oppose the idea of learning jujutsu.

After confirming that magic power and jutsuryoku were essentially the same power from the same source, he realized that by using his magic circuits to convert life force, the magic power stored within him could be used as jutsuryoku to perform jujutsu.

Although he had no intention of learning too many jujutsu techniques, Rozen was well aware of his strengths.

His real uniqueness lay in his innate talents for summoning, commanding, and controlling spirits. His talent in magic was merely an additional aspect.

With this in mind, he decided to focus on his "Summoning Technique." The goal was to acquire more powerful familiars quickly, which was the true path for Rozen.

However, in the end, Rozen chose to learn jujutsu for a simple reason. It was because within jujutsu, specifically within "Onmyoudou," there was a significant connection to summoning, commanding, and controlling spirits. This connection was through "Shikigami."

Onmyouji directly commanded various servants and familiar known as Shikigami.

During his time in the Izanagi clan, Rozen had already mentioned that he possessed a highly developed system of "Shikigami Summoning."

This technique allowed him to summon a wide variety of Shikigami, ranging from the eight million god of Shintou to the youkai and monsters of Onmyoudou.

Depending on his mastery of "Shikigami Summoning," he could summon different classes of Shikigami.

In other words, based on Rozen's proficiency in "Shikigami Summoning," he could summon various Shikigami, including lower-class familiars, mid-class familiars, and even upper-class familiars, or even those at the highest level of familiars.

Therefore, in Rozen's knowledge, the technique known as "Shikigami Summoning" was one of the few systems that could compare to the highest-level "Summoning Techniques" like "Heroic Spirit Summoning" and "Divine Spirit Summoning."

Naturally, this piqued his interest.

In addition, in modern "Onmyoudou," there are various techniques such as creating Shikigami, subduing Shikigami, and summoning Shikigami. Rozen, of course, needs to learn these thoroughly.

Back when he was in the Izanagi clan, Rozen ventured into their practice grounds just to catch a glimpse of the possibility of mastering "Shikigami Summoning" from "Onmyoudou."

Now, since he has a great opportunity right in front of him, Rozen would be remiss not to seize it. He aims to not only acquire useful "Onmyoudou" skills but also refine his "Shikigami Summoning" techniques.

Given this, Rozen eagerly embraces the study of jujutsu, despite his previous disinterest.

Don't be fooled by his lazy and lackluster demeanor. Every word of Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi's teachings is carefully absorbed and stored in his mind.

It's unclear whether Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi is aware of this, which might explain his indifference to Rozen's performance and his preference for self-directed instruction.

At the very least, Rozen's performance should satisfy Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi when he eventually decides to test Rozen's jujutsu skills.

Of course, on the surface, there's no sign of this. No matter how remarkable Rozen's performance is, Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi merely observes silently. He neither praises nor criticizes, only saying, "

Continue in the same place, tomorrow," before departing.

For an ordinary child, encountering such a cold and unfeeling father would likely result in a very sad childhood.

Fortunately, Rozen is not an ordinary child. He couldn't care less about Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi's indifference as long as he can continue his jujutsu studies.

Naturally, in the realm of "Summoning Arts," Rozen redoubles his efforts and never falls behind.

After leaving the world of "SAO," his once formidable physique has left him, replaced by familiar magical power surging within him.

This brings both regret and a sense of nostalgia, similar to the feeling of rediscovering the magic he had constantly studied in the past. Rozen immerses himself in it once again.

The two years spent in SAO were not in vain. Not to mention the various familiars already recorded in the "Throne of Souls," now Rozen can simply expend magic energy to summon them.

Just the mastery of the "Mind's Eye" is a significant achievement for him.

The ultimate step for a Magus, the "Mind's Eye."

This skill allows Rozen to perfectly control his own magic energy, perceive his weaknesses, unravel the mysteries of magic, and greatly accelerate his mastery of spells. It's as if his talent and understanding have reached new heights, making him incredibly formidable.

In this situation, Rozen thoroughly revisited and learned the three major systems: his "Summoning Arts," "Puppetry Arts," and "Onmyoudou." He even made corrections and improvements, resulting in a rapid increase in his strength day by day.

Furthermore, Rozen continuously refined his skills in the eight steps of the Magus, aiming for higher levels. What's more, his speed of learning jujutsu also became incredibly fast, leaving him astonished.

"Are people who master the 'Mind's Eye' all this insane?"

Rozen pondered. He couldn't fathom whether the "Mind's Eye" was naturally this potent or if it transformed to this degree because of his own evolution.

The only thing he was sure of was, "This is a good thing."

Rozen eagerly absorbed knowledge and power with a joyful heart, growing at a pace far beyond his previous capabilities.

So, how strong is Rozen now? Even he doesn't know.

"After all, my magic circuits aren't fully connected yet?"

Returning to his childhood had its only drawback – Rozen needed to reconnect his magic circuits.

However, with the assistance of the "Mind's Eye," Rozen has gradually discovered a more efficient, faster, and convenient method to open them. He believes it won't take long to fully connect his magic circuits.

At that point, with his full magical power restored, Rozen will finally know the extent of his true strength. The only downside is that he'll return to his frail physique.

"Anyway, I'm a Magus, and even an Onmyouji now. Physical condition and such are just trivial matters." Rozen consoled himself.

Tsuchimikado Natsume, who had been observing his expression without knowing what Rozen was thinking, spoke up in a low voice.

"Akikan really likes jujutsu huh. Every time I mention it, you looks lazy but your eyes are serious."

"Really?"

Rozen touched his own face, wearing a puzzled expression.

"Yes," Natsume nodded emphatically.

"Well then," Rozen smiled slightly and asked, "When are you planning to start learning jujutsu?"

"Me?" Natsume suddenly seemed hesitant.
