From MC's Perspective:
Meanwhile, ""Teacher Lowell""had been keeping an eye on Zack from afar. Though he had initially been concerned about his immersion in training, he soon realized how serious Zack was about improving himself.
Seeing the progress I was making, he chose not to remind me of the missions. He understood that this period of intense focus was just as important as facing real combat. As long as I stayed committed and grew more confident in my abilities, he was content to let me train at my own pace.
Without realizing it, over a month had passed. The days had blurred into one another as I delved deeper into mastering each technique. Every session brought a new understanding, a new level of control.
It took me a few more weeks to truly feel the progress in all of my abilities. My techniques, once rusty and stagnant, now felt sharp and responsive. The power surged within me, no longer raw and uncontrolled, but honed and ready.
