Although it looked to others like the two of them were being lovey-dovey, Jean was simply checking the power within FrostNova.
This was the first time Jean had closely contacted the power of another dragon. Although she had fought a match with Lia, they had been at each other's throats the entire time, leaving no opportunity to properly experience it.
Just a moment ago, in her normal state, Jean had faintly felt pressure coming from the Ice Dragon, but after activating Burst Mode, she could instead feel her own power suppressing the Ice Dragon.
This was not a simple suppression of quantity, but a suppression of hierarchy; it could be said to be the innate suppression of a lower-ranked dragon race by a higher-ranked one.
If one were to explain it simply, it would be very straightforward: Stardust Dragon is 8 stars, Trishula is 9 stars, and Stardust Dragon Burst Mode is 10 stars.
But there was a question here: she had originally thought Burst Mode burned some resource to increase output, but now it looked as if the entire power hierarchy had been elevated, and this happened in an instant.
It seems she knew absolutely nothing about the Burst Mode ability...
Looking at the yellow octopus who was struggling with whether or not to come over and strike up a conversation, Jean had deliberately used Burst Mode because she wanted to ask for his opinion.
Noticing that Jean was looking at him, Koro-sensei continued his explanation. Although he should have stopped students from flirting in class, who could stop her when she was the acting chairman?
"Regarding Miss FrostNova, first of all, you were previously very adept at using other ice powers, but now you have converted to the power of the Ice Dragon. Power adaptation is one aspect; additionally, because the properties are different, the usage methods also need slight adjustments. More importantly, do not let past attempts constrain your imagination."
Koro-sensei then looked over at Jean and continued: "As for Synchro Summoning dragons onto oneself, this is a unique method of power acquisition in the Reincarnation World. As the latest generation of power acquisition methods, it possesses overwhelming performance gaps and safety advantages over many other methods like bloodline transplantation, power projection, and so on. The only downside is that it hasn't been around for very long, and there are too few available power templates. Furthermore, most people choose low-star ones, so there are almost no reference cases for absurdly expensive 8-star and 9-star Synchros."
Jean was aware of what Koro-sensei was saying. Having been in the Reincarnation World for such a long time, it was only natural to use her phone to check information regarding her own powers.
The results she obtained, aside from some promotional articles, were just some Synchro experiences for monsters of 4 stars or lower, like the Fabled beasts that were wiped out in an instant by Trishula, or things like Crystrons.
"So, Miss FrostNova, it would be faster to just ask Her Highness Jean beside you for most of your questions. As for your situation, Her Highness Jean..."
Koro-sensei scratched his round head with his tentacle.
"To be honest, the development of your power is a bit strange. You are already quite proficient in the use of willpower, but you have no involvement with its previous stage, soul power, and you don't even have basic perception. The others are the same. If you want to become a powerhouse, you must understand and master deeper levels of power."
After speaking, Koro-sensei's figure flickered, and a blackboard, which he had brought from who knows where, appeared behind him.
"So, first question: I assume everyone knows how to become stronger within the same energy system—increasing reserves, recovery rate, output, etc. In short, it's just more 'quantity.' So, how does one raise the level of energy?"
"Refining energy." "Increasing elements!"
Sakura and Medea gave two different answers.
"Teacher said that moving toward a stronger realm must involve the purification of one's own power!" Sakura repeated the teachings of Scáthach to her.
"Combining more elements and increasing the complexity of the energy to achieve a higher compression rate of the energy is the only way to improve the effectiveness of the energy." These were the valuable experiences Medea had realized during her magic practice.
Rin and FrostNova had only ever used one type of energy, and there were no advanced existences around them, so they had no concept of this aspect.
"Mm-hmm, everyone has their own thoughts." Koro-sensei looked very happy, then turned to Jean and asked: "And what about you, Her Highness Jean?"
"To be honest, I don't know. All I do is integrate my own will into the elemental power, and that's it. Every time I get stronger, it's my will becoming stronger. So, I don't know how to raise the level."
The round head nodded heavily twice: "Very good. In fact, the statements of Miss Sakura, Miss Medea, and Her Highness Jean are all correct."
He turned around and wrote on the blackboard: "How to improve the quality of energy (power)."
"Generally speaking, based on the power that a life form can naturally produce, both complexification and purification can serve to raise the level. For example, the magic power used by Miss Rin is a product of the mixture of life force and spiritual power naturally produced by the human body. Naturally, it is more powerful than simple life force or spiritual power. And on top of that, by changing the ratio and adding elements of faith, one can create a basic form of divine power. Of course, the elements of divine power can also be divine authority, power inherited through bloodlines, and so on."
"However, without a doubt, with the same quantity, divine power is superior to magic power. This is the method of raising the level by moving toward more complexity and more elements."
"And the other method is purification, but before that, let's talk about the hierarchy of the life structure."
He drew the shape of a human body on the blackboard by hand but with precision, then drew several nested circles inside the model.
Thought — Spiritual Power
Body — Life Force
Soul — Soul Power
Will — Willpower
"As the saying goes, a sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body. This is a widely circulated saying among one of the three initial founding parties of the Comprehensive Underworld. It is worth noting that although thought resides in and determines the actions of the body, the body can survive without thought, so the two are actually in a parallel relationship. And even deeper than that is the element that constructs the soul—will."
Jean stared carefully at this diagram: will forms the soul, the soul gives birth to thought, and resides in the body.
"This diagram is not only suitable for humans; it is also suitable for greater beings, even for super-giant abstract beings like planets. For example, if a planet is filled with life force, then this planet must possess a soul, which is the planet's will. If we take the Type-Moon World as an example, this planetary will is known as gaia, and its death is referred to as the Land of Steel."
