"I see."
Rayn stared at his finger, a look of realization on his face. The situation wasn't as exaggerated as Makarov thought. Perhaps because of the feedback from 'Dragon's Origin,' his magic had fused with the nature of a 'dragon.' Besides the extraordinary strengthening of his body, even the capacity of his flesh and blood had become extremely strong. He could giantify himself just by infusing magic into it.
So, after listening to Makarov's explanation, he was able to use it smoothly. If it were another kind of magic that didn't manipulate the body, Rayn felt that he would still need some time to learn it smoothly.
"I still need to strengthen my control over my magic."
After increasing the magic output to his palm, Rayn immediately found his weakness. Although he could use it directly because of the high capacity of his flesh and blood, it was just that, using it. Now, because the magic distribution in his entire palm was uneven, his five fingers showed a very strange posture. The little finger was longer than the index finger, the ring finger was bigger than the thumb, and so on.
In short, it was impossible to achieve a perfect posture. To achieve a harmonious appearance, he still needed to strengthen his control over his magic and maintain this stable appearance in battle.
"Master...?"
Rayn looked up, about to tell Makarov his feelings, but found that he was already walking towards the town.
"Since you've learned it, then you can practice on your own. I'm going back first," the little old man said without looking back, his hands behind his back.
For some reason, Rayn felt that his tone was a bit melancholic. But he quickly shook off the thought. He was fine just now, how could his mentality change so suddenly?
"Then let's practice magic control first."
Putting aside the complicated emotions, Rayn began to concentrate on his magic training. His eyes closed slightly, and magic flowed from within him. A golden magic circle began to appear from under his feet. In the shining light, Rayn's figure began to gradually rise. He soon reached a height of more than two meters before stopping.
"When my magic power is high in the future, can I also play the role of Ultraman?" Looking at the height he had never felt before, Rayn's thoughts couldn't help but wander a bit. He then looked down at his clothes and thought with relief, "Fortunately, the clothes also changed, otherwise it would have been embarrassing."
After looking around from this perspective, Rayn began to sense his body's condition.
"This height... the magic consumption is a bit wrong. It has to be much lower next time." This size still consumed a little too much magic for him, making it unsuitable for long battles.
"The overall physical fitness has also been slightly improved, but it's still far from the Boosted Gear."
This was also normal. After all, that was a Sacred Gear. It was not something a single magic spell could easily compare to.
With an idea in mind, the magic circle spun and appeared again, and Rayn's figure began to slowly descend.
After that, Rayn began to constantly adjust. And with each adjustment, he tried to make the magic output even and stable.
After working for a while, a tall and slender Rayn, about 1.8 meters tall, appeared on the grassland.
"This time it's not bad."
Looking at his hands and legs, Rayn muttered to himself. Compared to the monstrous posture before, he looked a little better now. At least, you couldn't tell if you didn't look closely.
"Next is to continue to refine, and to ensure that I can giantify at any time."
"And I have to master the current attack range... so busy!"
Counting the things he had to do next, Rayn suddenly found that the rest time he had thought of didn't seem to be a rest at all. But since it could improve his strength, it didn't matter if he rested or not!
After spending time refining his body to a normal state, Rayn did not return to his original form. He ran or threw punches in his current state, trying his best to keep his magic output stable.
This kind of training, although not too tiring for the body, was surprisingly mentally draining.
When the afterglow of the setting sun spread across the sky, Rayn was exhausted and covered in sweat, walking towards his apartment.
Back in the apartment, he almost dragged his body into the bathtub. Under the warm water, his tired muscles seemed to be soothed by a massage. But because he was relaxed, his eyes were a little hard to open. He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went back to his room.
After having dinner with Kanna, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Kanna also climbed to the side and lay down, putting Rayn's hand on her body, treating herself as a pillow, her sky-blue eyes staring at the sleeping boy.
She didn't want to see Rayn so tired. But she didn't have a better way to help, so she could only act as a pillow to let Rayn rest better.
"If Tohru were here, she would have a way, right?" Kanna thought to herself.
After an unknown amount of time, under Rayn's breathing, Kanna's eyelids gradually closed, and she let out a steady breath.
In Rayn's soul, the power fed back by 'Dragon's Origin' silently expanded by a bit. Under the nourishment of that power, Rayn's spirit, bones, muscles, organs, magic power, and so on were all strengthened more than before.
"That power has become stronger? Did something happen to that little dragon?" Ddraig sensed the change in his soul. Thinking of Rayn's previous explanation, she thought thoughtfully. But after thinking about it, she still couldn't understand the little dragon's thoughts. After all, she had lived for too long and had long forgotten her thoughts when she was young.
When the sun passed through the window and shone on the apartment floor, the floating dust flickered in the sunlight like elves.
"Mmm."
Rayn felt as if he was experiencing sleep paralysis. His breathing became difficult, and half of his body was numb. After realizing this, his drowsy consciousness gradually cleared.
"Who sleeps with such pressure on someone?"
Lowering his gaze to his front, Rayn saw the white jade-like horns and hair and smiled knowingly. Before, Kanna would always return to her own world to rest. He hadn't expected her to not go back last night.
"Hmm?"
But Rayn soon realized something was wrong. Did he still have enough magic to maintain her existence? Yesterday's training had consumed a lot of his magic power. Even if he hadn't actively dispelled the magic, his magic power shouldn't have been enough to keep Kanna in this world. And now Kanna was still in this world, and he didn't feel a lack of magic power. In fact, his spirit was extremely full, not at all like he had just gone through high-intensity training.
"What is this?"
After checking himself, Rayn immediately discovered the change in his soul.
