LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The chains fell to the ground with a metallic clatter…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris fixed her eyes on the rock, just in case the skill’s direction changed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa watched her closely, her expression serious.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The chains that had fallen coiled themselves on the ground.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then they suddenly stiffened, shrunk tightly, and then stretched out powerfully.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At the same time, Iris was launched from the ground toward the rock.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ahhh!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Iris!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rather than flying, it was more like she was flung.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Startled, Iris hadn’t braced herself and crashed into the rock, bouncing off and rolling several times across the ground.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa, alarmed, rushed over and quickly helped the dirt-covered Iris to her feet.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had scratches on her hands and legs.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Are you okay?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ugh… it hurts so much…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It doesn’t look like anything’s broken.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After checking Iris’s body, Teresa clicked her tongue and handed her a stamina potion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
While Iris drank it, Teresa pulled out ointment and bandages to treat her wounds.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris held her back and teared up a little.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since it was a skill, she naively thought she would land safely on her own.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She hadn’t prepared properly, thinking it would work like the other skills she’d learned and used easily.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She never expected to get duped by her own skill like this.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ugh… I should’ve expected to be thrown like that. If only I’d managed to grab the rock…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“This… is an amazing skill to have just learned. But it’s a bit different from the one I showed you. If you’re not careful using it, you’ll end up hurt.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yeah… I’ll need to train with it first.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As the potion took effect, Iris’s face slowly brightened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had let her guard down and gotten scraped, but still, it was a great gain to acquire something akin to a flight skill.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Right. You won’t be able to use this in real combat for a while. If a monster attacks while you’re flying through the air, it could be fatal.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yeah, if I crashed into a monster with tough skin, I’d be in big trouble.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Still, I’m glad this turned out to be helpful for you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa smiled proudly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had shown Iris all her skills, and Iris had gained two valuable ones.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thus, today’s training came to a successful end.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After releasing their transformations, the two shared dinner together.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The food Teresa prepared tasted similar to what Iris’s grandmother used to make.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There must be something warm and comforting in the cooking of grandmothers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thinking of her grandmother brought Iris to the verge of tears, but she quickly pulled herself together.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Grandma’s still alive. Come to think of it, she said she’d be sending me a gift soon.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her grandmother was spending her later years farming in the outskirts of Gyodam City.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had lived with Iris until she became an adult, then moved to her small country home.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was a rural town where villains never showed up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There were occasional petty thieves, but Iris’s grandmother, who had survived in Gyodam City, wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris had spoken with her just today.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Should I tell Grandma I awakened? …No, she might worry, so it’s better to keep it a secret.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If her grandmother found out that her granddaughter had awakened powers and was making a living through dangerous work, she’d surely worry.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris decided it was best not to tell her that she’d become a hero.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After finishing her meal, Iris did the dishes despite Teresa’s attempts to stop her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When she removed her apron, Teresa gestured to her and handed her a key.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I think you need your own personal training space. So I’m giving you a gift.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Huh? A key? Senpai, you’ve already given me so much…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’m not taking no for an answer. Come with me.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Following Teresa, they arrived at a detached building behind the yard.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris used the key to unlock the door and was amazed as soon as she stepped inside.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In one corner of the yard were training dummies, targets, and all sorts of equipment that looked like they came out of a kung fu anime.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The building had a roof open to the sky, but enclosed walls — perfect for secret training.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Wow.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Training in the open yard is risky. Someone might spy on you. Not that many crazy people come all the way here anymore… there were some, but they’ve all been dealt with.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Training here will definitely help me improve fast.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’ve been planning to give you the key for a while. Now, you can use this place anytime without asking me first.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah… thank you so much, senpai.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa’s generosity had no end.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris bowed deeply, expressing her gratitude over and over.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa looked at her warmly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had taught her well, and Iris had done great.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, she could stand on her own.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“And… from now on, you’ll need to go on missions by yourself. My body’s been getting weaker, so I can’t accompany you anymore.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Your body… is getting weaker?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa just smiled in response.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris thought back to Teresa’s heroic feats — kicking and wrestling petty thieves, throwing feathers in an eagle stance, dazzling drift moves to stop biker gangs…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If that was what she called weakened, then what were the rest of humanity — walking corpses?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still, if she meant it was too much to keep working as a hero, it made sense.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris had seen her take potions often, and also catch her breath and rub her back sometimes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘So this is goodbye. I’ve grown really attached to Teresa-senpai…’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As Iris’s eyes welled up, Teresa took her hand and gently comforted her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yeah. Using a skill for the first time in a while, I realized my body isn’t what it used to be. And seeing your progress, I think you’re ready to handle things on your own.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah… but I’m still just a weakling.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No. The reason I joined you on missions was to see your skills. Also, to help in case something went wrong during a fight with monsters… That deer catching you off guard last time was just a fluke. Aside from that, you’ve been amazing. You can handle missions on your own now.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Really…?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Iris’s voice shrank to a whisper.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Despite the praise, anxiety crept in.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Could she really take down monsters on her own without Teresa?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had been bold and fearless because Teresa was by her side.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, she wasn’t sure if she could do it alone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yes. Have confidence, Iris. You’re the ‘hero in white clothes who defeated a monster at the bakery café’ from the news, right?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah, yes… I didn’t tell you properly because I was afraid you’d worry, but you figured it out.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Of course. You might fool a ghost, but you can’t fool me. You’re more than capable of doing it alone. I’m getting old… even if I seem fine now, I’d only hold you back.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hold me back? That’s not true at all, senpai.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At the word burden, Iris jumped.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa had never been a burden — she’d been an immense help.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But she understood what Teresa meant.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If they continued working together, it’d get harder for her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still… Iris wanted to protest, but seeing Teresa’s resolute expression, she fell silent.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her mind was made up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When Iris hung her head sadly, Teresa gently patted her small shoulders.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Iris. It’s time for you to stand on your own. You’re more than capable.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Phew… Yes. Thank you for the encouragement, senpai. I’m scared, but I’ll do my best on my own.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Clinging to Teresa would only be selfishness.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With a determined gaze, Iris replied, and Teresa, feeling relieved, continued:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Good. You’re familiar with the app now, so pick your own missions. And use the training hall as much as you like. If you ever have questions, just call me. I won’t be joining missions, but that doesn’t mean we’re parting ways. I’ll tell you everything I know — just like I taught you all my skills.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yes, thank you for everything. And… I’ll definitely restore peace to Gyodam City.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That’s the spirit. I hope more than anyone that you become the legendary hero who saves this city.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teresa gave Iris a tight hug.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In her warm embrace, Iris smiled gently.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Their journey together, long or short, had come to an end.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, it was time for Iris to rise on her own.
