"Master… Do you know another method to increase my Spiritual Energy?"

Mourad asked ignoring Vinete's complaint about her low energy units.

​​

"You still want to increase your Energy? I think it will increase naturally as you get older and practices every day…" Reiji replied.

However, Vinete realized something.

'Wait—Did master teach him a method before? How come I've never heard of it?'

She was shocked by their conversation but she decided to remain silent. Her master might tell something that can help her as well.

"Hmmm… If your Spiritual Energy is no longer increasing with the previous method… I'm no longer sure what to do. Wait, we can ask someone who may know something."

Reiji then looked at the silent Trident Arcana. He doesn't know whether Szaaz is aware of another method but it wouldn't hurt asking.

Since this is an old Arcana that has existed since Nero's Era, he must've heard something related to training or method to increase the energy of the Arcanists.

"Hmm? What is it, Master?" Szaaz realized that Reiji wanted him to do something but he didn't follow their conversation.

"Well, do you have any method to increase someone's Spiritual Energy unit, Szaaz?"

The Cursed Arcana paused for a moment as he tries to recall anything regarding such a topic.

"Hmm… Yes, Master. I'm aware of some tricks. However, I would like to know how they are training with their spiritual energy first."

"I understand... Mourad, answer him."

"Eh… Ah! Yes, Master."

Right now, the two students were actually quite shocked after realizing that this displayed trident was also a Sentient Arcana similar to Reiji!

Not only that but he's also calling their Master his master!

What's going on?!

Mourad was confused by the sudden turn of events but he didn't forget to follow his master.

"Master Reiji taught me how I should always try to empty my Spiritual Energy during my training. In the end, I'm always using the Arcane Abilities of my Magic Weapons for the past few years… I haven't trained much physically aside from my sword training because of this."

Mourad also added how he always tries to manipulate his Spiritual Energy in his every action. However, he realized that the training method was no longer effective in the past six months or so.

He thought that he already reached the limit of what he can have and he should already be happy with what he has... But after seeing his Arcana, he realized that if he truly wants to master the hunting rifle, he has to have plenty of Spiritual Energy.

After all, he didn't want to have his energy emptied in just 10 bullets!

"I understand… You're using a normal method to train your Spiritual Energy. However, this kind of training is meant for those who have weaker bodies. Perhaps, Master Reiji heard about this from a Magic Weapon Crafter, Array Specialists, or even Pharmacists." Szaaz analyzed after hearing Mourad.

"Oh, you're right about that… It was mentioned by my previous student who specializes in weapons crafting." Reiji replied since Rufus was the one who mentioned it to him which was, of course, taught within the Tower.

Reiji can say that the Arcanists in that place were all skilled but they are indeed all lacking when in terms of physical prowess… There were only a select few but those people were already skilled even before entering the tower.

Once they entered there, most of them would focus on research and broadening their horizon on how to create better potions, more unique magic items, and even arrays.

Just by looking at their yearly assessment, one would know what the Arcanist Towers are specializing in.

"I understand… From now, you should stop that training, and instead, you have to ask our master Reiji for Spiritual Pressure Training. I'm also unsure how it is possible, but he can use such pressure and this will help you with your Spiritual Energy." Szaaz explained.

Reiji was not aware that the Spiritual Energy that the Ancient Arcana Stone has can actually help the Arcanists in the long run!

He thought that it will only harm them!

Szaaz might have noticed his concern so he immediately added.

"If the Spiritual Pressure was only used once against you. There was no way you'll benefit from it. However, if it happens every day, or as frequently as possible, then I can guarantee that you'll experience the changes in less than a month."

"Whoa~ I didn't know about that… We can try it now, I guess…"

"Wait, master… Can I join in too?!" Vinete immediately joined in the conversation after hearing his plan.

There was no way that she would miss such an opportunity.

"Hmm… Alright, we'll also call that other two." Reiji said after a while. Since they were already in the same village, it's better to have them train together for the first time.

"Yes! Thank you, Master Reiji!" The young girl exclaimed. Finally, another special training with her Master! It has been quite a while so she was very excited.

"Alright… I know that you guys were tired as well. So how about we continue this tomorrow?" Reiji asked.

His students used most of their Spiritual Energy during the competition and the summoning just now. It might be too much if they still have to endure the Spiritual Pressure.

In the end, he decided to have all of them come and train to increase their energy units.

The two young students finally left the Dojo with a smile on their faces as they carried their Arcana.

It is up to them how they will explain their new weapon or how they will hide it as long as they don't tell that it was gifted by their Master Reiji.

"So, you really know a lot, Szaaz.."

"I'm just lucky that I've heard about this from my previous wielder a very long time ago."

"I see... You must have had an incredible wielder before..."

"Yes, Master... Aside from me, he has a Divine Artifact that can exert Spiritual Pressure. However, I do not feel any Divine Artifact with you so I'm really curious."

"Wait… Divine Artifact? They're real? Tell me more!"

Reiji no longer heard the second part of Szaaz's words as he got curious about the Divine Artifact! He didn't expect that this Cursed Arcana would know something about this!
