"…" Nathan was completely speechless.
Anubis chuckled. "Didn't she shoot much better than you?"
"…" Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Well, I will do my best."
Risa chuckled and waved her hand to Selena after she finished her enemies.
Selena glanced around while walking toward them. "There aren't any strong aliens around here. Even with that kind of burst, they're not coming. I think we should continue onward."
Nathan smiled. "You should take the lead this ti. That power… are you improving my shooting skill or sothing? Where is the sweeping force?"
Selena shook her head. "Not necessarily. With my new technique, I can apply two 'Speeds' while still getting power through the 'Concentration.' That's why I'm able to repel the mutant easily.
"anwhile, the last attack is ford through three 'Concentrations,' thus the power. I can feel like the forr 32-Form the Principal taught was a bit too restrictive, and this Multiflux Control allowed more freedom for my fighting style.
"It's still not perfect yet, but I've completed the basic concept.
"As for your shooting skill, it's not my intention, but I might be able to improve it. For example, when you shoot with your gun, the latter drains your ena, which causes you to be unable to use basic control, right? In that case, how about applying that control right in front of your gun so that those two will fuse together, creating an even more powerful attack?
"It's going to be hard to fuse it, but once you get used to it, it will definitely beco much stronger. Well, the 32-Form is more suitable for you, I think? You're inputting one control in each hand and combining it like the 32-Form."
Nathan could only shake his head helplessly against this girl. She was truly one of a kind.
At the sa ti, he couldn't help but make a small joke. "Then, how about I use your Multiflux Control as well? I can't control them like you do, but what if I apply 'Concentration' into my weapon as a base? This way, I only need to add two more controls through both hands?"
"Ah!" She nodded. "Unlike my staff, whose purpose is to enhance the power of my ena and the smoothness of my control, your gun is basically an active weapon. That might actually be possible, but it ans your third control is limited to ''Concentration.'"
"You underestimate . The gun is basically hollow inside. I can just add other chanisms and create a switch for the four basic controls." Nathan chuckled.
"…" Selena blinked her eyes. She wondered why she couldn't think of it. It was such a natural thing that it slipped her mind.
Selena didn't realize this was what Vivian experienced when taking Nathan under her wing.
"Well, to do that, you need to change your gun first." Selena nodded.
"Yep. That can wait until we're back. I'll ask Elder Thompson to look at it."
"In that case, I guess I will win this bet." Selena smiled. This ant Nathan had to fulfill her wish.
"Who knows? I might win this ti." Nathan shrugged. "Though, I won't accept if you are going to tell to go to the alien territory to find your father. I want to help you, not to commit double suicide."
"I know that much." Selena sighed. "I also know that you agree to take in Flora and Noelle because of .
"The sword saint will definitely not fulfill his agreent because of the current situation. After all, the alien territory has beco much more dangerous.
"Hence, by having Flora and Noelle with us, our group's strength increases trendously. If all of us are able to kill a warrior class alien by ourselves, I believe even the sword saint has no choice but to tell us that information."
Selena glared at Nathan as if telling him not to look at her as if she were a mindless idiot who thought with feeling. She was accustod to hiding her feelings to endure the torture in her household, so she wasn't like any others.
"Besides, I should be the one to apologize."
"Ah. You don't have to worry about Flora and Noelle…" Nathan waved his hand.
"I know that. After all, that's what you like. They're pretty as well." Selena snorted.
"Ahaha…" Nathan scratched the back of his head.
"I want to apologize because I might end up troubling you with sothing else. With the ash cloud hovering above us, it's clear that my uncle won't be able to hold his territory.
"Although he will receive the cloud-repelling device, he will know that you're the one producing it, aning it will lead back to .
"Considering his nature, he originally planned to use a borrowed knife to kill , probably a woman that he would put near you.
"However, even with the cloud-repelling device, the territory will continue to decline. And other people will sha him for using sothing from the person who oppresses him.
"In the end, he will beco insane and ultimately choose a drastic asure."
Nathan's expression turned dark. "Assassination?"
"Yeah. That's why everyone is in danger, not just . I don't know when it will co, so I want to get as strong as possible before they co." Selena squinted her eyes. "Still, it must be within the next several months. He will try to kill before I rescue my father."
Nathan thought for a mont. "Suppose we have to kill your uncle…"
"Don't hesitate. I will kill him no matter what it takes. He is the first one to disregard the connection of the blood running through our veins." Selena shook her head.
"So, are you going to take his seat?"
"No."
"No? Then, are you going to let the Ashton family disappear?"
"No. It won't be weird to send a mayor to take care of the territory for the ti being. It's easy with you and Flora here. Besides, my father will soon return after we rescue him, so he can take care of the territory and family, not ." She shrugged.
Nathan had a wry smile on his face as he patted Selena's head. "All right. Everything will happen as you wish."
"Shall we continue then?"
"Sure. Let's go."
