"This is an extraordinarily arduous path."
Josen held a small magnetic field in his hand, electric arcs flickering through it.
"I'll use psychic power to help you generate current through cellular friction. Once you get used to the process, increasing the current and strengthening your body will be up to you."
When Josen finished, King nodded emphatically and thanked him sincerely.

But that was fine. With Josen personally supplying the cheats, even the weakest foundation was no problem.
So he chose to stimulate King with electricity to improve his physical condition first.
