Chapter 296
Julius probably thinks he has been made fun of .
However, one would understand it if they thought about it normally .
There’s no way they can get stronger just by running .
That’s just proof that they are shocked by many things and can’t think straight .
Inversely, it can also be said that by just running all day long today, they have regained their presence of mind .
“–In other words, this was all to have us regain our calm, Satoru-kun?”
“Well, it’s fine if you take it that way . Also, call me sensei, Mondo . ”
“Uh, yes . Understood, Satoru-sensei . ”
“Hmm . ”
I nodded .
There’s no need to add that it was all a revenge plan for getting back at Julius for his poor treatment towards me .
After all, the other students would just think they just got mixed up in it .
Besides, it seems everyone is content with that answer so I will just go along with it .
“Now then, it seems like you guys were able to cool off your heads . Then let’s start the strategy meeting . ”
After the meal, we gathered around by a camp fire to discuss strategy .
Julius and Karma also seemed content with that explanation and didn’t complain .
It’s weird for me to say this but they are quite simple .
Now then, let’s start .

“First off all, lets talk about Magnus’ strength . Is there anyone who realized the secret behind it?”
Everyone seemed agitated in response to my question .
Not only the students, but also the instructors .
“Instructors as well, if you noticed something, please speak up . ”
I also urged the instructors to talk about their observation .
Is there anyone who has noticed?
“Now that I think about it… Magnus was a very excelling guy but it didn’t seem like he was hiding that amount of strength…”
Karma, who seemed to have been in good terms with him, muttered .
I guess that’s true .
If someone has that amount of strength, a portion of it would show when they are taking the lessons .
At the very least, even if the students didn’t realize, the instructors would .
If a instructor didn’t even notice someone so strong, then they fail as an instructor .
“I don’t want to make excuses but I didn’t think he would be that strong of a student . ”
“Rig…ht . It didn’t seem like he was hiding his strength, more like he suddenly gained strength—or rather, it felt like he borrowed strength . ”
Jiddah, a combat type instructor of NNU muttered .
Heinrich, who had been observing the combat agreed with him .
As expected of researchers, they make good observations .

“Borrowed strength, you say? That makes it sound like—”
“Sounds like Element Fusion?”
I cut off sage William .
And the place fell silent at once .
And that’s only natural too, since, Element Fusion is–
Using a superior elemental spirit, the final hidden technique for an elementalist
—after all .
That’s right .
It’s truly what can be said to be the strongest technique known to mankind, only permitted to those who are worthy of being called ‘hero’ .
The only ones who can use this as a group are the strongest squad known to mankind, the Holy Knights .
“No, but—”
“There’s no way a student can perform Element Fusion!”
“The only ones who can probably do that are the legendary hero “Ruler of the Flames” or the new-generation hero and his allies!”
“Exactly . It’s not something a mere student can pull off!”
The discussion turned vigorous at once after that .
A display of denial rather than a discussion .
However, we won’t get anywhere if we were to discuss things here .

After all, even the instructors don’t really comprehend what actually is Element Fusion .
“Calm down . I will first explain what Element Fusion exactly is . ”
The moment I said that, the noisy ones went silent at once .
They all turned to me in unison .
The instructor group’s gaze were more piercing than the related students .
“If possible, maybe we can get close to that secret ourselves”–it’s clear that they were thinking as such .
Well, that’s fine too .
After all, it’s not something you would be able to use immediately even if you were to understand it .
“Element Fusion is—”
And like that, I started my explanation .
The most easy to comprehend example would be Shizu-san .
She had fused with Ifreet and had transformed into a demon of flames .
Although in Shizu-san’s case, it was due to a unique skill called Deviate so she might be an exception .
It would be extremely difficult for a normal person to fuse that much with an elemental spirit .
Ifreet, the superior flame spirit, possesses energy equal to a semi-demon lord class .
Fusing with that is basically becoming as strong as a semi-demon lord class while being human .
If I were to give that a human rank, then it would be an .
S rank is given to demon lords so that is the highest ranking .
Anything above this can only be a ‘hero’ .
An existence completely opposite that of a demon lord—those who can be said to be the strongest beings in humankind, also get the S rank .
In fact, at this rank, it is also possible for a hero to fuse with the strongest elemental spirits, the light spirits .
That’s different from an awakened hero in sense .
To awaken, one needs the “hero’s egg” and other factors also come into play so that’s more complicated .
At the very least, I haven’t heard about Kenya’s “hero’s egg” hatching .
Although it does seem like he has acquired it .
That ‘blessing’ thing Ramiris was talking about was a ceremony to ascertain the adaptability percentage with the spirit .
The ones who can make the spirit’s strength their own and use it freely are the strongest of these practitioners .
Now then, about the ones below that…
Lower ranking Holy Knights would be a good example .
They are the people who have become able to borrow a portion of the spirits’ strength who are compatible with them .
The mysterious power these spirits possess .
