*BAM BAM*
The sound of a bang sounded very loud.
On a remote island in the middle of the ocean, the figures of men and women were fighting at an unreasonable speed.
Although it is called fighting, the fact is only men who attack, while women just stand still and fend off everything that comes towards it.
The two of them are none other than Ars and Rin, who do daily routines, which is to practice.
"Yeah!"
*Whooosh*
Rin is hit by Ars's leg kick in his stomach, and his body crashes into the sea.
Before Ars could relax, Rin's figure appeared behind him, and hit him on the back.
*Crack*
The sound of a broken spine is very clear.
"...!!!"
Lying on the ground, Ars spurted blood from his mouth and could not speak.
(Maybe my lungs got punctured by my spine.)
In a helpless state, he thought about the cause of his being unable to speak.
"Good work, Ars, your development is very rapid. In just 100 years, you've successfully landed an attack on me."
Seeing Ars' apprehensive condition, Rin has no sympathy at all, instead he is proud of his progress.
"You'll recover in three hours, after that meet me, and you'll resume training."
After saying that, Rin jumps up and lands on a hill with a seal.
Ars was left alone on the ground and could only stare at the sky with his current condition.
15 Minutes later, he was able to speak after his lungs recovered.
"Coughs... Finally I can talk, that damn granny doesn't know how to hold back. Once I master [Teleportation] magic to the highest level, I will leave this world."
Ars has made it his determination to leave this world. The biggest reason was that because he was so bored, the progress of this science came to a halt as the world was engulfed in an outbreak of a deadly disease.
From the news that he read in the newspaper, the outbreak was named Night Fever, everyone who was affected by the outbreak would suddenly have a fever and body temperature could reach 38 degrees Celsius, he said, then they'll die at night.
The disease is transmitted through the air, and there is currently no cure. The Night Fever pandemic has resulted in the deaths of more than 250 million people worldwide.
"The Plague of Night Fever reminds me of the plague of the Black Death that occurred in Europe in the late 14th century."
Given it all, unknowingly time has passed, and Ars has fully recovered.
"There are no devils in this world, what is the existence of Idaten in this world?"
No one can answer his doubts, then he jumps up and lands next to Rin.
"Rin, let's continue training."
"Well, today I will teach you how to use the sword."
A one-handed sword with a blade curved out from Rin's palm.
"What the fuck! How do you do it."
Ars's serenity which has been honed for over 100 years was shattered upon seeing the strange phenomenon before him.
"Well, what surprised you, you can do it too." Rin said as if it was natural.
"Can I do it too?" Ars doubts, why he never knew.
"That's just like our clothes, you can also change clothes as you like, right? The trick is simple, you just have to imagine the weapon that is on your mind."
"I'll try."
Holding his right hand, Ars closed his eyes and visualized the weapon in his mind. And he succeeded in only one attempt.
A katana came out from his palm.
"Wow, I did it! This ability was similar to [Unlimited Blade Works]"
Holding the katana in his hand, Ars cheered happily like a child getting a new toy.
But he had a failure while trying to manifest a firearm.
(It seems I can't manifest a weapon without knowing the structure of the weapon itself) Ars feels a little remorse.
"For 100 years I lived, it turned out that Idaten had the ability [Agun Manifestation]. Rin, why didn't you ever say?"
"You never asked."
Rin's simple answer has silenced Ars' complaint.
"Well, let me ask you, is there still an Idaten ability that I don't know about?"
"Hmmm... Let me think for a second..."
Rin pondered for a very long time, after 15 minutes had passed, he finally spoke.
"Ars, did you know Idaten could freely control their weight?"
"Oh, is there something like that?! Teach me how, Rin."
It's another Idaten ability that Ars doesn't know about. He thought he had understood the ins and outs of Idaten, today he knows himself too much, there are still many mysteries of Idaten that are still not revealed.
For example, why is there no baby idaten? Why do they look like humans?
It's still a mystery to Ars.
As for Rin? He did not think about the problem at all.
As a fellow Idaten, Rin is not stingy and begins to teach Ars.
"As you can see, Idaten can defy the laws of physics that govern things like weight and air resistance. Even in combat, reduce your weight to speed up, then increase a few tons when attacking."
"Easy, all Idaten can relieve himself. But 'heavy' is a different matter. To surpass the base weight, it required a complicated level of shadowing, which was comparable to removing a weapon from the body."
"Reaching a few tons would take hundreds of years, but hundreds of kilograms? Just a few years. Dozens kilograms? A few weeks, in quick condition it could be a few days."
"It doesn't look like you need to take a couple hundred years, Ars. You can take a weapon out of your body with just one try, it is not difficult for you to master the ability of [Heavy Manipulation]."
To be honest, Rin was a little surprised to see Ars manage to manifest a weapon in just one try. It took him a whole year to succeed.
(Are Ars a genius.)
For the first time in hundreds of years, Rin smiled.
The stronger Idaten is, the more pleased he is. If one day the Devils somehow managed to escape the seal, they could be stopped by the peaceful Idaten generation.
"I feel lighter."
Ars tried to lighten his body, and it worked. But since there were no scales, he did not know accurately how much he was weighing right now.
Next he tried to weigh himself down, the ground under his feet cracked like a spider web.
(Later I have to buy the scales in town)
Ars is planning to visit Mathias City, he also wants to check if Marie is still alive.
Although Idaten has a very powerful healing factor, but it only applies to itself, and there is no way to use it to others.
He could not do anything if his friend's family was affected by the Night Fever outbreak.
(I didn't know my healing magic could cure the plague.)
Although not advanced magic, Ars could use the healing magic he had learned at the Red Prison Academy in the past.
"Time to practice."
Rin went first.
"May you be well, little Marie."
Staring at the vast expanse of sea in front of him, Ars caught up with Rin.
That day, he understood how powerful Rin was to hold the sword.
Rin only needed one simple swing of the sword, and Ars split into small pieces. Not only that, even the sea behind him split into two tens of kilometers.
From this incident, it can be seen that Rin is very strong!
As a result, his plan to go to the city had to be postponed due to the condition of his body that was broken and is expected to take one week to recover fully.
If that was him 100 years ago being in his present condition, it would have taken him at least 3 months to recover.
