Summary of Chapter: "Recovery Training"

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• The narrator recalls an old incident where the Witch Milaya blasted his waist with Carrot Energy Radiation, nearly killing him. He argues that she owed him an apology, while she insists he violated her chastity by piercing her rear with a wooden sword during their earlier fight.
• Milaya threatens revenge by inserting a thick carrot into him, but their absurd quarrel is cut short when they spot Sun Ji and Fomalhaut training in Enheria's underground training ground, visible through a glass corridor.
• Fomalhaut (true Star Crystal) is overwhelmingly dominating Sun Ji (artificial Crystal), leaving her cut and bleeding. The narrator decides to join in, declaring he will fight both of them at once after they fuse.
• He opens a portal into the arena. Sun Ji takes point with her dragon-scale spear; Fomalhaut lays invisible air blades as stationary traps. The narrator uses time acceleration and witchified physical ability to dodge the traps, slide past Sun Ji's spear, and kick her away—suffering burns from her heat aura in the process.
• Fomalhaut shifts to freezing air blades, slowing the narrator and forcing him to retreat. She then unleashes a massive rainbow sword aura that flattens stone hills, ending the displayed exchange.

2. Character Developments

• Narrator/Miluno: Reasserts his pragmatic, slightly resentful view of past conflicts. Shows confidence and tactical thinking in combat, deliberately avoiding use of his combat suit to avoid damaging it. He demonstrates the ability to accelerate his own time and track invisible attacks.
• Milaya: Stubborn and irrational when it comes to personal grudges, repeatedly invoking "lady" and "chastity" in a comical, over-the-top way. Still functions as the group's guide (despite being "useless" at it).
• Sun Ji: Remains expressionless and inscrutable. Despite her weakness compared to Fomalhaut, she fights without complaint, using her dragon-scale spear and heat aura.
• Fomalhaut: Calm and immovable in battle, efficiently using large-scale magic (air blades, ice storms, sword aura). Shows she treats the spar as a way to "loosen up" after a long absence from fighting.

3. Significant Themes

• Power Disparity: Natural vs. artificial Crystals; the gap in ability and experience between a veteran Star Crystal wielder and an imitation.
• Training and Recovery: The chapter is framed as "recovery training"—rehabilitation after being sealed, rebuilding combat readiness.
• Strategic Combat: Use of environmental traps (invisible air blades, terrain, weather effects) and time acceleration; the narrator's analytical approach to exploiting weaknesses.

4. Character Interactions

• Narrator & Milaya: Bitter bickering over a past wound, with Milaya threatening physical humiliation, the narrator reasoning in vain.
• Narrator & Fomalhaut/Sun Ji: Minimal dialogue; the narrator announces his intent to fight both fused opponents, Fomalhaut acknowledges with a nod. The fight is purely physical, with no verbal exchange during battle.
• Sun Ji & Fomalhaut: Sparring partners; Fomalhaut holds back from killing but still dominates, showing no visible emotion from Sun Ji.

• Milaya warned Proxy that Zodiacal might have planted spies in Enheria, and Proxy reassured her that their hidden lunar base could not be found without permission.
