The last time he had broken through his limits and raised his Sharpness Level to 6, he had just gotten married... So why did it feel like a century ago now?
He waved his arm lightly. The power that had come from nowhere was already completely under his control.
"At this rate, I won't have any trouble absorbing these gains."
Tetsu no Sosuke sighed for no particular reason. Come to think of it, he had read plenty of novels where the protagonist gained a huge amount of power in a short time, only to struggle to control it.
But he had no such problem...
He had honed his Swordsmanship bit by bit on his own.
His physical abilities had improved through forging, but he had never neglected his daily training.
And there had been plenty of time between each improvement. The gaps had been short at first... but they had grown longer and longer.
That was why he wasn't worried about losing control of any power he suddenly gained.
Other people had more strength than they could handle. For him, it was the other way around: he had more control than strength!
"Though when I put it like that, it sounds pretty embarrassing for a man..."
Tetsu no Sosuke rubbed his nose. Then he remembered he was about to become a father, not some single young man. There was no reason to feel embarrassed about it.

He had been so excited that he'd thought about all sorts of unrelated things just to calm himself down.
Only now had he finally settled.
