If Renji allows Nova to harm herself to provide a chance for a contract, he will question his humanity.
Nearly fainting with anger, Renji sternly reprimands the naive Dragoness and seriously warns her against such self-harmful thoughts. He insists that there will be no contract if she continues this way, which finally makes her abandon this crazy idea.
With that option gone, Nova is left with only one path.
"Master, let Nova help you regain your strength."
"How?"
"Just like how you trained me before!" Nova energetically gestures to Renji with a fist.
'Uh...'
Renji looks at the earnestly-faced Nova, feeling a twinge in his heart. When he recalls how he raised Nova – soloing dungeons, being thrown into hordes of monsters, getting killed countless times, and barely clearing them with 'Save-Load' tactics – his expression freezes.
