POX decided to use its own funds to send Malius Heroes to guard Raji Village and the surrounding forest. They didn't need government approval for this act
Later that day, Shinji returned home looking unusually tense.
He'd already made up his mind: tomorrow he would push Momoshimo and Jeisuke's eye abilities even further, and give the rest of the team their own specialized training.
He needed his students strong enough to defend the Nation from whatever chaos was coming.
The next morning, Akaimo and the others arrived at the training grounds.
Akaimo asked what was going on, but Shinji—trying not to worry them—explained things in the least alarming way possible.
Shinji: "Alright, Shino, Momoshimo—today I'm teaching you something called Irish energy. After that, we'll move on to your main training."
Jeisuke: "Irish Energy…? I know what that is. It's the energy our eyes release whenever we make a move. The energy type depends on the power your eyes hold."
Shinji: "Even experts who've studied eyes for years barely understand Irish Energy… so how exactly do you know that?"
Jeisuke went completely silent.
Momoshimo: "Uh—can you explain what Irish Flow is supposed to be?"
Shizuku: "From what Jeisuke said… it's basically the energy that lets you make a move, and it comes from your eyes. The energy changes based on your eye's special properties. Like Momoshimo—your Irish Energy releases stone-related energy, right?"
Shinji: "Exactly. Well said."
Akaimo: "So… can a normal human release it?"
Jeisuke: "Not unless they awaken their eyes. Otherwise, no."
Akaimo: "Great… so totally useless for me then."
Shinji: "Alright, since most of you have the basic idea, we're starting the Irish Energy training."
He pointed toward Jeisuke and Momoshimo.
Shinji: "Akaimo, Shizuku, Shino—pay close attention to these two while I go over a technique."
He motioned for the eye-users to step forward.
Shinji: "Okay, Jeisuke, Momoshimo—come here. This one's simple… but it's absolutely essential."
