When Haru and his group were on summer camp, Mari went to the headquarters of the Japanese Division of White Knight Order to meet Andou Suruga. She knew the reason she was called was that Andou wanted to use her ability to teleport him to England to attend the meeting of Six Heads about Haru’s promotion to S Rank Savior.
When Mari thought about Haru, she couldn’t help but feel worried, but one thing for sure, she was going to support him no matter what.
At the training camp, Jeanne and Haru were practicing both Light Art and Dark Art while also teaching both Satsuki and Shizuno to become stronger.
Haru knew that even without the memory of previous lives, it was possible for someone to learn both Light Art and Dark Art since both of them had existed from ancient times, and he also knew that there were a lot of hidden organizations that had practiced both arts for a long time such as Cradle of the Sun from France.
However, the existence of the memory of previous lives made the Savior learn either Light Art or Dark Art faster since the memory of their previous lives would make them remember all the techniques, experiences, etc in their previous lives.
In other words, it could be said that the memory of the previous lives was cheating in the video game.
When Haru was thinking about the memory of previous lives, he couldn’t help but remember the words of “Ancient Dragon” that were told by Mari before.
Previously, he was mistaken as an “Ancient Dragon” since he was able to use both Light Art and Dark Art at the same time, which was known as impossible since all the Saviors could only use either Light Art or Dark Art in their lives, however, the existence of “Ancient Dragon” broke all the common sense that had previously created by the predecessor.
Haru was also sure that the protagonist in this world should be “Ancient Dragon” which means, the protagonist should have two memories from his previous lives and he was sure that in those memories, there were both Satsuki and Shizuno, both heroines there, however, in the end, the memory of the previous lives only happened in the past and it was different from the present.
Lastly, even if Haru dated both Satsuki and Shizuno, it didn’t mean that he had stolen them from the protagonist since in this life, they didn’t have a relationship or anything so it shouldn’t count as a “Netori”, right?
But enough of that since even without the help of the memory of previous lives, both Haru and Jeanne could learn both Light Art and Dark Art easily since, in their minds, it wasn’t that complicated, especially when Haru was a quick learner and Jeanne had a “Revelation” skill which capable both of them to learn faster than most people.
“Haru, how long am I going to run on the beach?” Satsuki asked with a tired expression. Unlike her training at Haru’s house before when she was asked to manipulate her prana until she could control it perfectly and did survival training to dodge Haru’s attack. Even though all of those practices were spartan, she could understand very well the reason why he told her to practice it, but at this moment, she was told to run on the beach without the help of prana which made her helpless.
Running on the beach wasn’t easy as it seemed since the ground wasn’t hard and if someone wasn’t careful, they could slip which was why Satsuki was very helpless and most of the fight, she would use her prana so she didn’t understand why he told her to run without the help of prana.
“Satsuki, even though it might sound cruel, your body is too weak,” Haru said.
“Ugh…” Satsuki felt depressed when she heard Haru’s words, but she had gotten used to it or rather she might feel uncomfortable if she wasn’t insulted by him.
‘Have I turned into an M?’
Satsuki thought at that moment.
“That’s why I want you to focus on your speed, as long as you’re fast enough, no one can hit you, as long as you fast enough, you can defeat your opponent quickly, and as long as you fast enough, you can help anyone faster so that’s why I want you to run on the beach.” Haru looked at Satsuki who seemed to be dumbfounded and said, “Let me give you an example…” He thought for a while and said, “Let’s say that your body is a glass and prana on your body is a water.”
“My body is a glass? And the prana on my body is water?” Satsuki was dumbfounded again.
Not only Satsuki, but everyone also listened to Haru’s words were also dumbfounded since most of them relied on the memory of their previous lives to become stronger, and once they had become as strong as they were in their memory of previous lives, they didn’t think too much and thought that it was their limit, but that was why he needed to correct their misconception.
Haru knew that humans had a lot of possibilities and they could become even stronger by controlling and fighting by using their prana, but they forgot the body was the core, without a strong body, it was impossible to become stronger, even if they received the memory of their previous lives.
Haru had also learned that for someone who had a strong body, it was easier for them to manipulate their prana which was why he told Satsuki to train her body.
“I – I understand!” Satsuki nodded with a serious expression and said, “I will work hard!”
“Me – Me too!”
Momochi, who saw Satsuki’s training, also did the same training as Satsuki since she knew that she only had speed and besides speed, she had nothing and she could see Satsuki’s progress every time which made her helpless. She didn’t want to lose to Satsuki, who was a newbie in their team so that was why she was going to work hard, but at the same time, she was wondering whether Haru could teach her.
“How about me? Do I need to run?” Shizuno asked.
Hearing Shizuno’s question, Haru shook his head and said, “No, you don’t need to.”
“So what should I do now?” Shizuno asked.
“All you need to do is use your magic as much as you can and as fast as you can until you have emptied all the mana on your body,” Haru said.
Haru knew that as a Dark Mage, Shizuno didn’t need to fight from a close distance and her role on the team was human artillery.
The best way to train the Dark Mage was to tell them to use their Dark Art until all the mana on their bodies had emptied and by doing that, Haru knew that they could fasten their mana recovery speed and also increased the mana in their bodies.
When Shizuno was at Haru’s house, it was impossible to do all of that since Haru didn’t want his house to be destroyed by her Dark Art so all he told her was to practice her control over mana better and fastened her incantation, but it was different now since they were at the beach and because of that she could use all of her Dark Art without hesitation, however, he also didn’t forget to teach her how to distance themselves from her opponents since Dark Mage was weak in close combat.
In truth, Haru had always felt that Dark Art was very troublesome since it needed to use an incantation to use it, however, he also knew the purpose of the incantation was to give the user of Dark Art a better image about the Dark Art that they were about to use.
It was also the reason why most of the characters in the “shounen” manga would scream their techniques, ability, skill, or magic when they shot it out toward their enemies.
Well, in truth, one of the reasons why the character of “shounen” manga called out the name of the techniques, ability, skill, or magic was because it sounded cool, but it was also used so they could concentrate on the magic that they were about to use better.
It might be impossible for Shizuno to not use an incantation when she performed her Dark Art in a short time, but it was possible for her to perform her Dark Art faster, right?
Listening to Haru’s words and explanation, Shizuno also nodded and did what he told her since she didn’t want to lose to Satsuki and also wanted to become stronger.
Looking at the two girls, Jeanne smiled and said, “They’re working very hard.”
“Should we do the same?” Haru asked.
“If you train very hard then this island or this country might sink,” Jeanne said with a sigh since she knew very well how strong her lover was.
Haru could only laugh wrily, and when he was about to say something, his phone vibrated and when he saw the one who had called him, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Who?” Jeanne asked curiously.
“An annoying guy.”
Haru said while looking at the name of the person who had called him right now.
