Chapter 253: New Theme

The sea can be calm at times, but it can suddenly go raging.

On the rough deck, it was bumpier than I expected,

In such a situation, I started training again with Tre’ainar after getting rid of my fatigue.

But,

『No, do not move your foot. On the spot… stand on one toe and move not a single step.』

“Nu, u, uh~…”

『After a certain amount of time, switch to the other side. Remain properly balanced.』

I stood on the tip of one toe on a swaying deck.

I had some confidence in my sense of balance.

I had done magical Magical Yoga at the Cacretale dojo, and I fought against Jamdi’el with unstable footing, so I didn’t think it was a big deal.

But unexpectedly, I lost my balance.

『Fufufufu, how is it? Unlike yoga practiced on the dojo floor where the footing is firm, or in battle, where you can fine-tune your body balance by constantly moving your feet, tis quite difficult to maintain balance without moving a single step under unstable conditions, is it not?』

“Nugu, gu… nu…”

『By training in a blessed environment such as a dojo, you will only acquire the textbook version of a physical body. The most important thing is to acquire the senses and core that can quickly adapt to unusual environments.』

It’s not just the ship’s rocking. The waves were irregular, and the wind was also blowing, throwing me off balance.

Certainly, if I could acquire a sense of not being shaken and a core that would not move even in such a situation, I think that would be quite appealing.

But Tre’ainar’s menu doesn’t stop there.

『Furthermore, tis about time to reel it in!』

“The float has sunk! Here it is!”

The moment I felt a slight vibration in my hand, I raised my arm in one fluid motion.

In my hand was a fishing rod.

I pulled up the fishing rod with the line hanging in the sea at once. But…

“…………”

『… My oh my…』

There was nothing on the hook.

“Ugh…guh…”

『You have never gone fishing, have you?』

“No… just a little bit when I was small… though it was a river, not the sea…”

Tre’ainar seemed to sigh and sneer at the same time.

Yes, it was quite a challenge to fish, which I was not used to, while balancing on one foot on tiptoe.

To be honest, I defeated Mr. Machio and won the tournament, and even though I had Tre’ainar’s cooperation, I was feeling a little more confident about myself after defeating Jamdi’el and Paripi, yet he was still coming up with new training exercises like this.

How many new training programs does Tre’ainar have?

But no, I didn’t think I would even go fishing…

『However, tis pathetic to not catch a thing…. the child has no catch… fufun』

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t catch a single fish! But… when I was little, the fishing rod had more craftsmanship put into it… as expected, the quality of this rod is…”

I was ashamed by the fact that I still couldn’t catch a single fish, but I tried to make excuses by looking at the cheap, simple and well-made rod that the old sailor lent me, which made Tre’ainar even more astonished and said ‘My oh my’.

『Fufun, The quality… of the rod? My oh my… despite being my disciple, he is so pathetic… shallow and superficial…』

“Fugh!”

Recently, I’ve been able to complete the various assignments that Tre’ainar had set for me, so I wasn’t too dismayed, it’s been a long time.

But, as it stands, it’s frustrating.

At any rate, I’ll at least catch one…

“Yeah, I’ll show you! My seriousness.”

『Is that so~?』

“Yes. If I remember…… Sadiz used to do this…”

When I was young, I used to go fishing with Sadiz, who caught a lot of fish.

At that time, I just thought “Sadiz is so cool”, but now I should be able to trace her movements.

The technique of letting the rod’s line fly to a distance. Like drawing a circle on your head…

“Go! Tornado shot!”

『…Oh… I suppose tis meant to be… the Spin Cast… casting that uses centrifugal force to increase distance… but…』

“Ah! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!”

My toe slipped and I fell, and the rod slipped out and I threw it right above me… it hit me straight in the head.

“Damni, ugeah!”

『My oh my! Tis not a technique to fly with just the arms. Proper waist rotation is necessary… well, more than that…』

Damn it, I was standing on one tiptoe, and then tried to throw it by force, so I lost my balance.

“That, damn, so lame. This time it’ll…”

『What you are attempting is meaningless. In the first place, without knowing where the fish are, throwing it blindly would be pointless. Where you are now. The environment surrounding you. The movement of nature, such as the land and wind. You must feel all that occurs in the world.』

“Well, even if you say such a difficult thing… anyway, one more time!”

『Wait, wait, calm down for a moment.』

What a blunder, and the other crew members were giggling at me.

How embarrassing. I immediately got up and tried to throw it back again, but Tre’ainar stopped me with an astonished expression.

『My goodness… do you really understand the purpose of this training exercise in the first place?』

“Nuh…What?”

The unexpected question reminded me of what I was just doing.

On the swaying deck, stand on one tiptoe for a certain period of time. After a while, I would switch to the other foot.

Fishing in that state.

Well, if you think about it, you can roughly understand the purpose of this training.

“I have. I mean, you can train your balance, but at the same time, you also train the instantaneous power to pull up without missing the moment when the float sinks, right?”

When I answer that…

『Bzzz, not so,』

Tre’ainar crossed his arms to make an “×” and said that.

Eh? I’m, wrong!

Ever since I was instructed to do this training, I always thought that was the intention.

『This is just to improve your ‘senses’… including your balance. I never thought of instantaneous power or any such thing.』

“Eh, hn? Hmm~?”

I didn’t immediately understand the meaning of that remark.

『Tis not the rocking of the ship, but the waves… read the currents of nature’s sea. Furthermore, how the sea wind flows, the position of the sun, the temperature, how the weather changes, how life inhabits the unseen world at the bottom of the sea, and what kind of world it is… the world… perceive and understand all things… and then, make allies of them.』

“………hah?”

Somehow, the story had become tremendously grand…what do you mean?

『Child, this ship travels but for a few days. Fishing will just be for fun, but the theme of your training from now on will be… to sense all creation and aim to improve your own senses.』

“A, all creation?”

『You have acquired ‘Magical Breathing’ in Cacretale. As a result, it became possible to sense and take in the magical power that flows into the atmosphere. However, currently your senses are only perceiving ‘magic power’.』

With that, Tre’ainar stood on the stern of the ship with his arms spread out.

『Elements of nature…… spirits…… mana… to befriend all nature in this world and rule it… the essential power… to become a king…… in other words… the power of ‘magic’!』

“Huh!”

Up until now, I thought I had learned magic techniques to some extent through breakthroughs and Magical Breathing, but… magic here?

It was an unexpected theme that left me momentarily speechless.

Author’s Note

I wanted Tre’ainar to yell “I’m the king of the world!” on the deck, but if I did, the ship might sink. Well, I don’t want to make another mess, so I stopped before reading too much into it lol

Well, another week has come and gone, but let’s do our best for the week ahead. I will also turn the drills that you gave me into power and do my best.
