It was a dead wilderness.

　Dead trees.
　Dead soil.
　Dead air.

　There was only one person in this desolate world.

"......, so you're my spirit core after all.

"Oh?　Oh, ......, I see. Well, that's what I think for now.

　"Well, that's what I think for now." This guy, sitting on a huge rock with a cracked surface, said crisply.

And what's the matter with you, Allen?　Are you finally ready to hand over your body?

No, of course not. If I give it to you, I can see that you'll go on a rampage again anyway.

"Hahahahaha!　I'm sure you'll agree that this is a great idea.　You have ...... power and you don't use it.　Eh?

　I don't like that kind of ephemeral way of life.

I don't like that kind of ephemeral way of life. "...... I don't agree with you. I want to live a more simple and long life.

"Not long and narrow. It's a boring way of life. ......

　He shrugged his shoulders.

Anyway, I'm not giving you my body for the rest of my life. It's only natural, considering what you did last time.

　This guy left Mr. Shidou in a state of half-death and half-life.

　No, it was more than that.
　If Leah hadn't stopped him at that moment, he would have killed her without any hesitation.

"The other day(......?).　Oh, I saved your life both(・・・・) times.

"...... 'both'?　You say that as if it happened twice.

　It is true that in the case of Mr. Shidou, ...... this guy saved my life.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, you can call us at our own web site.

　If he hadn't come out, I would have been dead for sure.

　But I'm sure this is the only time he's saved my life.

"Oh, that's what I get for being an ice-playing little shit and after ....... That's when I pushed the old bastard's button. I think it was about ...... the first time we crossed the 5,000 year mark?　Allen ......, you tried to die once, didn't you?
"......?

　I remembered something very ...... very bad.

(Yes, this is my spiritual core ........ He's got the memories of those billions of years. ......

　...... I was really out of my mind at that time.

　I had been living the same life day after day for 5,000 years, not seeing or talking to anyone, and I was out of my mind.

　That's when the demon hit me.

"Hey, do you remember now?　Do you remember how I stopped him from acting like a fool?　That was really hard. ....... I had to manipulate your body when you hadn't even passed the "way" yet. I'll be sleeping soundly for the next few hundred million years because I used so much power. ....... Anyway, anyway - you don't deserve to be thanked, but you don't deserve to be resented either. ...... What?

"Did you really stop that ...... thing?

　I thought my fear of death had overtaken the pain of that moment.

I thought my fear of death had overcome my pain.　First of all, human beings are not that strong. If you're determined to die, it's much easier than you think.

"Okay, I get it. ....... Thank you.

　I have to thank you for this.

"Oh?　I don't need your "feelings" when I can't even eat. Show your gratitude with your actions. Give me your body at ......".

　Then he asked me for my body again.

　This exchange, which has already been done many times before, ...... made me feel a little uncomfortable.

I'm sure you'll agree with me.　If I was as strong as you, I could take it from you.

What kind of idiot are you?　It's a good idea to take a look at a few of the most common types of shoes and boots.　After all, I am a spirit. ......

　He then looked at his right hand as if he was nostalgic.

"Oh, so that's how it works .......

　This is good news.
　As Dr. Leia once said, when this thing takes over my body, it seems to consume a great deal of 'something'.

(In other words, it's not so easy to take my body over and over again. ......!

　When I was thinking about it.

"Hey ....... "Hey, if you're not going to give me your body, get the hell out of here.



　Then he waved his hand as if he was chasing away a winged insect.
　What a self-centered guy.

"It doesn't work that way. The reason I came here today is to ask for your help. --You know that, right?　I'm trying to learn to dress like a soul.

　I decided to try to talk to him first.

　He's a rascal, but he's not stupid.
　He understands the language, and above all, he is capable of rational thought.

　If we have a dialogue ...... or negotiations, we may be able to borrow some of his power.

　And then.

"Oh?　A little kid like you can ...... use my power?　...... Pfft, hahahahahahahaha!　Hee-hee!　Oh, that's a funny thing you said ......!

　What in the world was so funny, he laughed, hitting his knee.

"Oh, come on!　This is not a joke.

"Hey! This is not a joke--" "Even if it is a joke, it's not funny!

　The next moment, he was standing right in front of me.

　He was standing right in front of me. His right arm was already swinging wide and the impact was inevitable in a few tenths of a second.

"Hey, ......!

　There was no feint--just a straight right.

"~~?

　I made a quick decision and slid my sword between his face and his arm.

　Perfectly defended.
　I lowered my center of gravity to prepare for the impact.

　But--my body was sent flying horizontally like a ball.

(What ...... stupidity ......? !?)

　My defense wasn't working as a defense: .......

　I spun around in the air to kill the impact and managed to catch myself.
　At the same time I put my sword in front of my belly button and take a right eye stance.

"Oi, oi, ......, that's too light!　Are you eating properly ......?

"I'm eating ...... properly.

　There's no defense against his attacks.

　Then-- attack, attack, attack!
　You don't have to let him take your turn to attack. ......!

　It's a good idea to keep your eyes on the prize.

I'm not sure what to do.

　The eight slashes, which had become sharper and more powerful after the battle with Shidou, caused him to sigh loudly.

　Immediately after that, both hands, both feet, neck, head, torso, chest - the eight slashes shot him all over his body.

　Unlike Dodriel's, all of them were solid hits.
　There was a definite feel to it.

　--But none of the damage was getting through.

　Not a tear in the skin, not even a bruise.
　It was more like ...... my sword was going to break.

(No way. ......?!)

　As I stared at my sword in dismay.

As I stared at my sword in disbelief, I asked, "Hey, hey, how are you going to ...... slash my body with such a toy-like slash?　Huh?

　This guy was so smug that he shook his head from side to side as if he was challenging me.

(I knew this guy was in a different league. ......)

　His arm strength, leg strength, and endurance are all on another level.



　After that, I tried to slash him again and again, but .......

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

(No, ....... You can't beat him with a normal slash, even if you hit him in the vital areas - face, neck, midsection .......

　But that doesn't mean I'm completely out of options.

　I have a special slash that is not an ordinary slash.

(No matter how many of them there are, if it's a blow that cuts through space and the world, he won't be safe. ......!

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do.

　But...

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to do.

　Before you know it, he's pinching the blade he swung up.

"......?

　I'm sorry.
　That's the two words that crossed my mind.

The (・・・・)strength(...) here is 'strength of mind'!　You're still a greenhorn, ....... You're not ready to fight me at all!　Aaah!

　There was no way for me to defend myself when he grabbed my sword. He threw a powerful front kick that pierced my abdomen.

I'm not sure what to do.

　The air was squeezed out of my lungs and the blood rushed around my body.
　My vision flickered, and my sense of balance was nowhere to be found.

　As I fell to the ground, this guy smiled happily at me.

"Hahaha ......!　And when your will is weak, we'll eat you!



"Stop it. ......

　Immediately after that, my consciousness was swallowed into the darkness.

.

　At the moment Allen was defeated by the spirit core.

　A big change happened to his body.

　His black hair turned into long white hair, and a black pattern appeared under his left eye.
　And most importantly, the air he breathed changed.
　It went from gentle and calm to something like a bare sword.

"Hahahahaha!　I'm not sure what to do.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do.

　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

　He stumbled back a couple of steps and turned his eyes full of hatred.

"This, Kuro Fist ......!　This is not your place,.......

"With your body (・・・・)this durability, ....... You really are a monster, aren't you?

d*mn it, .......

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.

I'm not a fan of these cowardly methods,......, but consider it a handicap. It's hard for me to let you go if you really want to. ......

　The soul-dressing room fell silent.

　After that, Leah opened her mouth on behalf of all the students.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not.

"Oh, that's Allen's spirit core. You can see it at a glance, it's a true monster. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea. ...... It's a hell of a talent. As a teacher, I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops.

　It's a good idea to keep your hands clean and dry.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

What's that?　Oh, ......, of course it's mine. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. I hit him in the abdomen, his weak point, and this is what happened. The hardness is really staggering.

　Then she laughed lightly and shook her head.

　When Leah saw that the wound on his right hand was light, she finally asked him the question that had been bothering him the most.

"Oh, is Allen okay?

Of course he is. He'll wake up sooner or later, so don't worry about anything. --That's not the point!　You guys should concentrate on mastering your soul armor!

　Then she sounded her favorite whistle, "Beep! She then sounded her favorite whistle.

.

　After losing the match with that guy(s), I found myself ...... lying on my back.

"...... Ugh. I'm not sure what to do.

　I slowly raised myself up.

"Whoa, you're up, Allen.

　Dr. Leia was standing next to me.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　In the midst of my dazed state, I definitely heard him say, "I'll take it.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Don't worry. I've got it under control. I've ...... taken a few cowardly steps.

　The doctor said with a bit of bitterness.
　As he called it a 'cowardly measure', it was probably an unintentional way of stopping him.

　But whatever the method, I was really grateful to ...... for stopping my outburst.

"I'm sorry, thank you.

"Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. It was to be expected.

　She smiled.

　Anyway, now that I'm done with all this, I thought about it.

(...... "strength of mind")

　That's what she said.

He said, "Strength here is strength of mind.
　And he also said, "You're not ready.

　In other words, in order to beat him in that world - in order for me to master the soul armor, I need to train my mind.

(But ......, how do you train your mind?

　I've never thought about it.

　(But how do you train your mind?) I had never thought about it.
　It is easy to imagine how to train your body or how to improve your swordsmanship, such as pretending, or having someone teach you a technique.

　But when it comes to training the mind, ...... it is quite difficult.

　Meditation?


　Is it a waterfall?
　Or is it ......?

　As I was pondering this.

"Come on, Allen, now's your chance!

　The teacher suddenly clapped his hands and shouted.

"Chance, huh, ......?

Oh, yes!　The psychic core, once exposed, is extremely draining!　If we do this now, we might be able to wrestle the power back from that monster!

Are you sure you want to do that again?

Of course not.　I'm going to do it again?　Don't let this opportunity pass you by!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to do. If he goes out of control again, ......?

I don't care. It's not something that you, as a student, should be concerned about. And probably ...... won't come out again today. As a psychic nucleus, he has a weakness now. As long as I keep an eye on him, he'll be fine.

　Then the doctor gave one piece of advice.

But don't ever get involved with him when I'm not looking.

".......

　It was a hard, serious tone of voice that the doctor rarely used.

Allen, your nucleus is a literal 'monster'. Your nucleus is literally a monster. You know better than anyone how dangerous he is, having just fought him.

...... Yes.

　It's true that he was an order of ...... magnitude stronger.

I'm not sure what I'd do if I let the initial rigidity - a weakness unique to psychic nuclei - escape me. I'm not sure what to make of it. ...... So, well, keep your soul-armor training within my sight. Then you can go out of control as many times as you want. I'll be able to stop it once and for all.

"Yes, yes!　Thank you very much!


　After that, I challenged him to a fight several times, but .......

　I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.

　But with the exception of the first time, my body was never taken over.

　And he was definitely weakened (・・・・・).
　Maybe he was just worn out from taking over my body.

(......) But no matter how many times I continue like this, I can't beat him.

　In order to win, you have to strengthen your "mind".

(......That's right!　(If you can't get an answer by thinking alone, ask Leia-sensei!

　Fortunately, she is very knowledgeable about the spiritual core.
　Fortunately, she knows a lot about the spiritual nucleus, and she probably knows some good ways to strengthen your mind.

"Doctor, how can I strengthen my mind?

　And the moment I opened my mouth.

"Hey, I'm here to fight with you!

　The door to the soul-dressing hall was thrown open wildly.

　A group of five people walked in through the door.
　They were all wearing the uniforms of Senba Academy, and some of them were faces I had seen in the school building several times.
　They were probably our first year students.

"Well, well, well!　I'm sure you've heard of them.

　...... Apparently, they were after me.
