Kentaro-san flew a few more of his fireballs to the masked guy.

He avoided them completely, without a burn.

Both times, since they curve back.

Even this much level of control is difficult and needs practice.

The masked Naginata guy used his weapon to acrobat through the air, dodging every fireball there.

Kentaro-san immediately switched back to his now flaming, longsword to block the Naginata attack from the air.

I was astounded. 

Well, I couldn't leave or the masked guy will kill me.

So might as well enjoy the fight.

Akemi-san regained consciousness too.

She looked at the ongoing fight.

They were both matched evenly.

What can I do to help them???

He said he could take on both of us.

Which he probably could, if Kentaro-san wasn't countering so much.

He has mastered 2 of the 3 styles. Physical and Spiritual Manifestation.

The masked guy was stupidly skilled with his Physical Manifestation.

Nah there was nothing I can do.

I can't even begin to release a bit of pure spirit energy.

How can I even transform it into magic fireballs or a dagger?

Lemme ask Mr. Dragon.

"Hey! Mr. Dragon!", I spoke inside my conscience.

I've learned to do that.

"What is it?"

"Can you teach me how to release spirit energy?"

"... Maybe I should, if you die, then your life force will get drained"

"Thanks a lot"

"Uh so just... There"

"Owwwwww!!", I screamed, not in the real world.

Apparently, he opened a sort of node in my palms.

IT HURTS!!!!!

Well, this was a shortcut way of opening the node.

IT STILL HURTS!!!

Still, lucky that I didn't have to go through months of separate training.

Now I can freely release Spirit Energy.

Wait Maybe I am releasing too much.

Oh god, how to stop it???

"Just calm down and think that you want to stop it"

I wanna stop it.

Please stop.

It stopped.

Thank you, Mr. Dragon, very cool.

I exited my conscience onto the real world.

The fight was still on.

The battlefield was now filled with fire.

Wait.

DID MORE PEOPLE ARRIVE???

They look like about 200 rookies and novices.

Well, we infiltrated their main base, so no question that was gonna happen.

Kentaro-san has been holding them off with a wall of fire this whole time.
