"So, how do we get stronger? Maybe Eye can teach you how to use a sword?
"That's good, too. However, there are some things you must learn before swordsmanship. Do you know what that is, Mr. Alphonse?
I became my teacher. [M]
I'll just ask the eye a question.
I said I would do anything if I could be strong, but I didn't know what to do.
Can you teach me with a sword?
I thought so, but apparently not.
But I don't know what to learn first.
Having thought about it for a while, I had no choice but to shake my head sideways.
"Don't you see? Now, let me tell you. The first thing Alphonse needs to learn is how to deal with magic."
"How to handle magic?
"Yes, that's what matters most, Alphonse."
"Well, then, why don't you learn how to increase your magic? I mean, right? I can't beat the Clemens if I have a lot of magic. People say the more magic you have, the stronger it is.
Yes, it is.
I lost because I had less magic than Clemens. [M]
These are the children who go to the House of Lords.
I mean, a child of nobles and knights in this country.
The amount of magic is small compared to Charles, the royal family of the Brilliant Magic Land, but it is overwhelmingly large compared to me.
That's why they had no hands or feet on me. [M]
Then, isn't it the most important thing to increase your magic amount?
"No, it's not. Alphonse's brother, Ars Barca, will say the same. What Alphonse has to learn is how to deal with magic."
"My brother? Really?"
"Of course. Because it is also written in a book written once by Ars Barca. Eye remembers and understands everything. That's right. I wonder if Eye is going to teach you a Vulcan training technique."
Vulcan training?
Wow.
That Ars brother thinks that the part-time brother has become stronger with the training method.
Then there's no doubt about it.
Let's do it.
As a result, it becomes stronger with the Vulcan training method.
I decided to have Eye teach me more about the training. [M]
"Okay, Mr. Alphonse. In the first place, the amount of magic is only one factor of strength. The more magic, the stronger it is. However, if there is a lot of magic, it doesn't always win."
"Ah, I've heard that before. Mr. Ars said so. If he had the same amount of magic as his opponent, I've heard that Mr. Ars is confident that he will win."
"That's right. That's probably true. That's who Als Barca is. Now, let me ask you a question. Why can Ars Barca fight and win with the same amount of magic? Do you understand?
"Hmm, because it's strong. Als, you won because you're strong enough to beat anyone."
"... fufu. Exactly. Essentially, no doubt about it. Now let's change the question. Why is Als Barca so strong?
"Well, there's a lot of magic. Plus, you can use a lot of magic. And then you can use the sword, and... yes, Valkyrie is strong."
"Yes, that's right. Everything Alphonse has just said is correct. Ares Barca isn't the only one who's strong, is he? It is strong because it involves a variety of elements and they are excellent. Do you understand that?
"Oh, I see. Does that mean that magic isn't the only thing that matters..."
"Exactly. Als Barca is a very versatile person. And none of them were worn overnight. It's all because I've been training for a long time."
"Well, but didn't Eye say that just now? The most important thing is how to deal with magic."
"That's right. Exactly. From now on, you will need to train Alphonse on many things to be strong. But there are things you have to wear to do that."
"Is that how you use magic?
"Yes, precisely the technology that holds the magic coming from the body inside. People are always spreading magic out of their bodies. You will learn the art of suppressing it. It's called [meditation]."
Isn't that Balka's magic?
Eye said that in order for me to be strong, I must be able to [meditate] first.
You use magic on your own?
I still didn't get one thing I wanted to say. [M]
So I desperately decided to listen to the explanation of the eye that would follow.
