"Huu..." Nathan inhaled deeply. Just like his 'Soul Contract,' this 'Deadly Claw' didn't have any explanation either. However, if he had to do it, he felt like he could unleash this power.
anwhile, Fenrir noticed that his Ena increased drastically as if the amount of Ena transferred from Nathan multiplied. It seed that this thod really worked.
Nathan saw both Fenrir's excitent and status.
Na: Fenrir
Level: 13
Race: Celestial Wolf
Quality: Basic (Mid)
Fenrir stared at Nathan, who later confird. "It works."
"It seems that we have found a unique path to get stronger." Fenrir grinned.
"Yeah. I might have to be careful though. If I give too much Ena to the point I barely have enough Ena to use a skill, it'll be dangerous for ."
"I know that. It will be better if we have the tool to asure Ena accurately."
"True. Looking at how happy my teacher is, she is probably on the verge of success."
"We can only wait until she finishes then." Fenrir nodded in agreent. Fenrir was the one extending his paw this ti, reminding Nathan about earlier. "I'll be counting on you. I want to fight a lot."
He still felt a lot of things were missing in the theory of him getting summoned here, but there were a lot of things he had to do, such as finding out the content of the contract he had with the original Nathan or simply living to the fullest in this world.
Nevertheless, he knew one thing. He couldn't achieve it alone, so he extended his hand, bumping his fist to Fenrir's. "I'm counting on you, Fenrir."
" too."
They acted casual and believed each other previously, but they confird it this ti.
"By the way, don't forget to prioritize and not focus on future won, even if you summon one in the future."
"..." There was an awkward silence for a mont before Nathan vaguely agreed. "En."
"Oi!" Fenrir gnashed his teeth. "You horny brat!"
"What do you an? We don't have a contract about that!"
"I'm going to bite yours off so that you don't have to think about it anymore in the future."
"I'll pluck every fur and tooth you have before neutering you if you dare to do that, you stupid dog!"
"I'm a wolf!"
...
Nathan picked up the book to learn more about summoners. Although Fenrir didn't admit it, he also read the book so that he could get stronger. He realized that he might be able to get even stronger if he created stronger abilities if he combined it with the knowledge of this world or from other familiars.
Hence, both of them focused on studying.
The next morning, Vivian called Nathan and Fenrir to the backyard. It was a nice and flat backyard with a big empty field in the middle. It seed that Vivian used it for sparring from ti to ti.
Vivian asked, "Do you have any preferred weapons?"
Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought.
'A weapon, huh? Should I go for the sword? Is it too cliche? Should I go for a spear or sothing unusual like wires? But this is my new reality. If I can't learn it, I might die. I have Deadly Claw right now. I don't know what I will get from my future familiars, but I do know I will be fighting with Fenrir for a while. Should I go for a glove or gauntlet that allows to use Deadly Claw?'
After so consideration, Nathan explained, "I'm not sure. To be honest, I saw Alisha fighting with a bow yesterday. At the sa ti, it seed that she could fight barehanded as well."
"So you don't need a weapon? Well, it's true that manipulating Ena can give you a power similar to a good weapon, but we also have dwarven blacksmiths that can create weapons surpassing that. I guess it's better to have a weapon. How about gloves? They are not thick, but they can be durable enough to withstand a weapon.
"However, it also ans that you need good control over your Ena. The school should be teaching it, so I won't burden you with so many tasks at once. If you have any questions, you can ask for extra lessons. How's that?"
"Sounds good."
"Great. If it's hand-to-hand combat, I guess I'll have to change your instructor." She contemplated for a mont before Alisha appeared next to her, asking, "How about I do it, Mistress?"
"You will do it?" Vivian looked surprised.
"I've taken a liking to the young master." Alisha smiled.
"You even call him 'young master' now. It seems that you've recognized him." Vivian scratched the back of her head.
"Oh!" Nathan's expression brightened. Getting trained by such a gentle, bright, and mature elder sister was a reward for him.
"Alright. You can do it." Vivian sighed. After seeing how enthusiastic Nathan beca, she had no choice but to leave it to Alisha. "Wait a bit here."
Vivian returned to the mansion and ca out two minutes later, tossing a pair of black gloves. They were thin, but Nathan noticed the springiness of the material, which would absorb so impact. There seed to be an additional tal liner that could block sharp weapons as well.
When he wore it and made a gripping motion, his movent was a bit restricted, but not sothing he couldn't handle.
Alisha said, "For now, the best way to improve is to attack you until you get used to it, especially stopping you from blinking when an attack cos. It's basically useless to teach you martial arts if you end up closing your eyes."
"I understand." Nathan thought he would be learning so cool martial arts, but this was the reality. He had to start with his foundation.
Alisha walked to the middle of the field while explaining, "Let's see. For the next week, we'll focus on your basics. You and Fenrir will be fighting and trying to last for more than fifteen minutes."
Nathan nodded. "I'll be learning a lot from you, Alisha."
Little did Nathan know that he was going to regret having Alisha as his teacher because behind that gentle and mature smile was...
