About three months after the beginning of instruction. As a grader, Tifa had advanced to third grade, but training orders with Yu had been more mainstream than college life since she met Yu, and there had been no major changes in her life.

When it came to that training, both the running in and the wand technique were passing and in order themselves, and were at last entering a stage that would be the first step in the real sense to use magic.

"... Now that the break is over, suppose we start fast"

Yu, who was looking back on what he had done so far, switches consciousness and moves on to the next instruction.

Tifa, who returned from the retrospective and lived there again, hears it with a serious expression.

"Like I said, I'm gonna have you wear 'chi' control"

"Yes!"

"Nevertheless, even with control and a bite, there are stages. If we can do this, we can't talk about it. We can sense it."

"Yes!"

"Most of all, this guy is very difficult to explain with his mouth, just the sensory stuff. First, close your eyes and meditate, and try to feel all the things around you, including the sound."

"Okay!

Follow the instructions of a very out-of-the-box yu, close your eyes and meditate.

Carefully pick up and analyze each and every one of them, surprised by the amount of information they have ever unconsciously truncated, such as the various sounds, smells, temperatures and air flows that can be felt by closing their vision.

While repeating it enough, Tifa will somehow feel slightly faint, but where and how it is moving.

Based on that information, I will try to create a 3D view of the surrounding environment in my head in a big mess. My stomach grows small as I begin to wonder whether to broaden the range further based on it or improve my analytical accuracy.

- Guuuuuu.

"... aah"

"Well, it's just the right time."

To Tifa's belly worm, Yu prepares breakfast with an accidental bitter smile.

Due to the long morning training here these days, breakfast is served in the park at the training site.

"Well, I'll make sure while I eat. You got something?

"Eh, there were all kinds of sounds and smells, and when I closed my eyes, I could kind of tell which area it was coming from."

"Hmm, what else?

"I sort of figured out that organizing that information in my head and putting it in position around here would somehow make something like a 3D view of this neighborhood."

"I see. Preliminary, but that's all there is to it."

"Just the initial..."

"Oh. I'll make sure, just in case, you realize I'm moving my mind in my body right now?

"What?"

Tifa is surprised by the words and rushes to close her eyes to check Yu's condition.

Concentrating for thirty seconds. Sadly he faints his expression and honestly gives it up.

"Ugh... I have no idea..."

"If you suddenly tell me to do it today and you know it right away, no one will struggle from the start"

"But..."

"From here on out, there's a huge personal difference, and it's not the kind that can be explained well by mouth. Sometimes you can light up on a second challenge, or you can feel it in about 10 days without any foretaste, or you can think it took 10 years to finally get there."

"Ten years..."

"Well, there's rarely a decade, and if it's going to last too long, don't worry, I'll use the next good. However, I have never been able to manage on my own, so let me decide what to do in combination with the due date I'm setting in this one."

"Yes………"

When I snort at Yu's words with complete depression, I eat a breakfast that no longer tastes good in the first place.

(What to do, what to do...)

Even though the situation hasn't improved one thing yet, Tifa is once again driven into a predicament and quite seriously troubled. If we don't get results here, there's only one future left to starve to death.

Yet, no matter how much the first day, the status quo is not even hand explored, and I have come to say that I have no desire to be able to sense what Yu is looking for.

If you spend time without going well like this, you are frightened by the fear that Yu will abandon you, and if you think to the bad, it could really be, you forcibly switch your thoughts positively.

If we clear this place, we should be able to use magic not far away. That way we can reward Yu for his generosity.

And, thinking that far, then, another anxiety strikes me as to what will happen to my relationship with Yu and what will happen to my life afterwards when magic becomes available.

I can tell you that the last few full months have been the first days I have felt happy since I came to Alto.

If magic becomes available, there's no reason for Yu to coach himself. He said he had something to plant for five years, but he doesn't even know if it's really necessary.

(Don't even think about things you don't even know if you can do now!

Tifa challenges the sensing of her mind again when she shook her head and kicked out the anxiety that was obviously too far ahead of her, and somehow got over the challenge in front of her anyway.

Yu, who was watching it, speaks with a bitter smile.

"In the meantime, there's no need to rush at this point. Just because this place was smooth doesn't mean the next phase is going to be smooth. Rather, the tendency is that the human being here is more likely to learn more smoothly later."

"... but you definitely don't, do you?

"In the first place, there is absolutely no such thing as mastering skills. It's not uncommon not to know if you're hopelessly unsuitable and talented unless you pursue it all the way."

Instead of being comforting, Yu says fine things like chasing after Tifa's anxiety right now. Even though there is no point in saying irresponsible rest, it just doesn't feel a little too wordy.

"In the meantime, you can always do that in itself, so try it every time you're free of time. It's not enough to call it a trick, but you should also keep your consciousness in your body for more than some time"

"Yes......"

Listen to Yu's advice and sigh to finish the meal and try again.

It was a tiffa that challenged many times since then, but it did not yield any more results than increased accuracy of the brain map, experiencing its first setback since becoming Yu's apprentice.
