Imu took in the touching scene before him.
He knew very well that some of the things Perona had brought were indeed heartfelt gifts of her own.
But others had been quietly encouraged by the World Government.
Still, Imu was happy to see this kind of "investment" in Natsuki Subaru.
If things continued along this trajectory,
then this young man who had crossed into another world might truly carve out an unprecedented path to power beyond the "seven timelines."
If he could use this opportunity to integrate, or even unify, the Ode Continent where he lived,
then once the Star Gate opened,
the World Government could naturally take over a friendly New World.
It was an idle move, yet one that might yield lavish returns.
Once Natsuki Subaru's emotions gradually settled,
Aizen closed the history textbook he had finished reading and spoke gently. "Subaru-kun, since you only have one year, proper planning is crucial."
His voice quickly calmed Natsuki Subaru. Holding the bag Perona had given him, he returned to his seat.
"After resolving the issues with your physique and magical aptitude, I suggest focusing on mastering Love Breathing and the techniques of this flexible blade, further improving your ability to protect yourself in close combat."
"At the same time, supplement that with learning one or two practical functional spells similar to the curtain spell, ones that will not consume too much mana."
Natsuki Subaru listened intently to Aizen's words.
His previous experiences had shown him just how dependable this Shinigami gentleman was.
"You can share that dark magic textbook with your contracted spirit, Miss Beatrice."
"With her magical foundation and affinity for Yin-attribute mana, she will certainly master it quickly."
"It will greatly improve your overall combat ability."
"As for Moon Breathing, you can set it aside for now."
