“Then, perhaps, could you recommend someone I don’t know? Someone skilled enough to become my instructor.”
Before entering the actual lessons, Dominic asked.
It was disorienting to realize that he had become the talented one, but Dominic also knew well the drawbacks that arose when someone with excessive talent apprenticed under an instructor who lacked the capacity to contain them.
“Well…….”
W̃ e bn̈ о̊ v̈ е l̊ Еnũm а̇
Natasha hesitated, pursing her lips.
“There is no one at the Imperial Academy capable of teaching you, Young Master.”

She spoke frankly.
‘Then does that mean there’s no one who can teach me?’
Just as Dominic was about to panic—
“You should go to Langtang.”
Е̄ n u ṁа̇
At Natasha’s words, Dominic jerked his head up.
“Langtang?”
“No matter how I think about it, the only people who could teach you are in Langtang. You know that the doctors of the Imperial Academy are significantly lacking compared to Langtang’s members.”
At her words, Dominic slowly nodded.

“In my opinion, it would have to be someone at least from Langtang’s direct line.”
Langtang did not distinguish direct and collateral lines by blood. They classified those who came to Langtang solely by talent, dividing them into collateral and direct lines.
Wе̃b̌ ň о vе l̇ Е ñ u m̀ а̄
The direct line was a place where individuals dozens of times more outstanding than those of the collateral line gathered.
Dominic recalled Max Langtang, whom he had seen at the Lich King’s Tomb.
‘He got done in by the Lich King, but it’s true that he was a strong mage.’
Though he had never tested it separately, Max Langtang’s fireball was undoubtedly an extremely efficient and powerful spell.
“For example, someone like Max Langtang?”
He asked since it had come to mind.

Natasha then made a subtle expression.
“Max, that man is…….”
She trailed off, then shook her head.
“It’s nothing. In any case, I don’t recommend him. Rather, even if it’s a bit difficult, it would be better to learn directly from Langtang’s Head of the family.”
“Is there a way to receive direct instruction from the Head of the family?”
“If you become part of Langtang’s direct line. With your talent, Young Master, you would become part of Langtang’s direct line in one go.”
E̊ṅu̇ m̄а
Natasha also knew that relations between Anika and Langtang were poor, but Dominic’s talent was so precious that she brought up the matter of Langtang’s direct line without realizing it.
Since he had no intention of becoming part of Langtang’s direct line, Dominic fell into thought.

“In any case, for now I want to focus on learning the theory of physical enhancement.”
After organizing his thoughts, Dominic said.
“Yes, understood.”
It seemed Natasha had no intention of urging him to go to Langtang immediately either, as she promptly changed the subject.

“Physical enhancement techniques are, simply put, about imbuing mana…….”
Just as she was about to explain the definition of physical enhancement, Natasha flinched and stopped mid-sentence.
“Um, perhaps.”
“What is it?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Physical enhancement techniques—do you know how to use them?”
“I do.”
Ёn̈um̌ ă .і̂d̄
“Huh.”
Natasha looked at Dominic with eyes that said, ‘What kind of genius is this?’
“Then there’s no need for a basic explanation, is there? Specifically, what would you like to learn?”
At the question, Dominic hesitated.
His objective was clear. However, putting that curiosity into concrete words required some thought.
“How to exert physical enhancement of an intensity that vastly transcends the limits.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
After deliberation, the words he chose were ‘vastly transcends the limits.’
In Dominic’s view, first-rate knights who could handle aura were beings who had transcended their limits.
“That’s beyond common sense. I roughly understand what you want.”
Natasha spoke seriously, then rose from her seat.
“Let’s go to my laboratory. If we’re going to experiment, we should do it there.”
Dominic also stood and left the room together with Natasha.
Én ü m̃а̂ .ī d̂
Natasha’s laboratory was tremendously cluttered. It made one wonder whether research was even possible in such a place.
“This way! Come this way!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Natasha deftly cleared away massive obstacles, creating a path to the research table.
With uneasy eyes, Dominic passed by a towering stack of enormous research materials that swayed precariously and arrived at the table.
“I’ll explain right away how to go beyond the limits. Normally, due to realistic reasons like limitations in mana quantity or lack of talent, even discussing it would be meaningless.”
Natasha glanced sideways at Dominic. More precisely, at Perperence contained in the pocket on Dominic’s chest.
Е́ň um а .ï ḋ
“In your case, Young Master, it shouldn’t matter.”
Natasha let out a sigh that was almost a laugh.
Dominic stood awkwardly without saying anything.
It was good news that there was a way to surpass the limits, but he wasn’t accustomed to being treated as someone talented and didn’t know how to react.

“The core of physical enhancement lies in imbuing mana into something other than the core.”
Natasha said.
Wе bnо̆ v e̊ľ Е n̄ úm а́
“Usually, it’s impossible to artificially imbue mana into things that aren’t the core. But the body of the very person who handles mana is different. You could say it’s the sole exception to this rule.”
Natasha imbued mana into her own hand as if giving a demonstration.
Because the mana did not leave her body, it was impossible to tell what color her mana was.
“The body itself functions as a core, limited solely to the individual.”
It was a newly learned fact.
‘Then, if manipulated well, is it possible to turn oneself into an artifact?’

A question surfaced in Dominic’s mind. A good student would have asked it here.
However, Dominic, unaccustomed to asking questions, remained silent and said nothing.
“Upgrading physical enhancement techniques? It’s simple. You just imbue more mana.”
Natasha said as she withdrew the mana from her hand.
“But the reason it’s realistically impossible is usually because there’s a limit to the amount of mana a core can contain.”
She opened a drawer and rummaged around before pulling out a sapphire.
Е̂ nùm ӑ.. î d
It was a sapphire that had already become a core and was circulating mana. Natasha began injecting even more of her mana into it.
“When you inject more than a certain amount of mana into a core…….”

Crack!
With a horrifying sound, the sapphire shattered into pieces.
Dominic’s eyes widened in shock at how easily such a high-grade gemstone broke.
“If you forcibly train physical enhancement techniques, your body will end up like this as well.”
Е n ůmà .іḋ
Natasha said in warning.
‘Good thing I didn’t inject mana up to the limit on my own.’
Dominic let out a sigh of relief without realizing it.
“Then how do you imbue more mana while maintaining the core?”

“Increase the volume and mass of the core?”
“An excellent answer. If you strengthen your muscles, you can contain more mana.”

Dominic fell silent. Natasha opened her mouth with a faint smile.
“But that’s not the answer you’re looking for, is it?”
“That’s right. I want to increase my mana capacity in a short time.”
Dominic nodded frankly.
“Then how should you increase the mass and volume of the core in a short period of time?”
Natasha threw out another question that sounded like a riddle.

“If it were a core made of natural materials, increasing the number of cores might work. But I don’t know what to do in the case of the body.”
Dominic hesitated, then answered.
“No, that’s the correct answer. The body is the same.”
Natasha nodded as if praising him and said,
“If you can’t increase the body itself in a short time, you bring in another object and attach it to extend it. You expand the body.”
Expansion of the body.
Е̂ ň uḿ а̂ .ĩd̄
It was a concept Dominic had heard of a few times before. It was something the first-rate knights of the House of Anika occasionally talked about.
When training reached its extreme, the weapon one held began to feel as if it were part of one’s body.

“Of course, you can’t just attach any object and have it work. It has to be something the mana user knows well, cherishes, and has handled for a long time.”
Then the answer was obvious.
‘A sword.’
There was only one object Dominic had cherished and handled for a long time—a sword. Whether he could truly say he knew it well was another matter.
Еǹ um̈а̃
‘How ironic. I came here to learn magic to distance myself from the sword, and the solution I’m given ends up being the sword again.’
Dominic smiled bitterly.
“Shall we practice right now?”
“Let’s.”

Without resistance, Dominic drew the sword hanging at his waist.
Natasha seemed briefly intimidated by the sharply gleaming blade, but she soon regained her composure.

“Try thinking that you and the sword are one. If you do that, you should naturally be able to imbue mana into the sword as well.”
Natasha made it sound simple, but in truth it was by no means an easy task.
Most people only talked about it in theory, and those who succeeded were so rare that they could only be found in written records.
“It’s fine even if you don’t succeed in one try.”
That was why Natasha blurted out words of encouragement without realizing it.
Listening to her, Dominic tried to think of the sword as part of his own body.

‘It’s something I held until death, and something I longed for until death.’
Recalling the moment in his previous life when he had been told, ‘You have no talent. Give up the sword,’ it felt as though a faint flame erupted within his heart.
Dominic realized that the source of that flame was his own mana.
His mana was responding to his emotions.
‘This is fascinating too.’
Intrigued by the fact that mana reacted even to his emotions, Dominic spread the flame of his heart through the surrounding blood vessels.

A sensation of warmth spread across his entire chest, and his upper body hardened. Basic physical enhancement had activated.
‘Next, the arm.’

Dominic focused his attention on his right hand gripping the sword.
Warm energy extended toward his arm, strengthening it.
Now Dominic had become solid enough to shatter even a massive boulder with his chest and arms.
Soon, the warm energy spread to the back of his hand, his palm, and each individual finger.
Eṅ û m̆а́
Now Dominic had become powerful enough to pierce a solid fortress wall with just his fingers.
‘But it’s still not enough.’
The Duke of Anika was a master who could split the earth and move mountains with a single swing of his sword.
To spar with him, Dominic needed power far beyond merely breaking rocks.

‘And the answer lies in the sword I’m holding right now.’
Dominic tried to sense every detail of the sword’s hilt held in his hands, now heated to the point of being almost hot.
W е̂b n̄ŏvë l̊ Еn̊ u ḿа
The hilt still did not feel like part of his body.
Dominic drew up even more heat from his heart.
He knew that this was not ordinary mana but mana imbued with his emotions, and he was convinced that the answer lay within those ‘emotions.’
‘This should be enough, right? No one will point fingers at you and say you didn’t try.’
He recalled words Selina had said to him in his previous life.
Strangely—truly strangely—more than the words ‘you have no talent’ or ‘give up,’ the comforting words Selina had left behind made his emotions surge the most.

Dominic’s eyes shone brightly.
He heard the sound of Natasha sharply drawing in her breath, as if startled by something.
Only after several minutes had passed did Dominic realize that he had succeeded in breathing mana into the sword.
