Chapter Title: Teaching Haki
-------------------------------------
After every point allocation, Evan didn’t merely gain power directly. He also obtained the corresponding know-how in his mind. In other words, his Swordsmanship and Martial Arts could absolutely be taught to others.
"Are you ready?"
Evan looked at Erza and asked softly.
"Mm!"
Erza held a wooden sword in her hand, her gaze firm.
In the next second, Evan's figure instantly arrived in front of Erza, slashing the wooden sword he was holding at her.
Clack~
Seeing Evan suddenly attacking her, Erza subconsciously raised her wooden sword to block.
Instantly, the wooden swords in the two's hands clashed, letting out a crisp sound.
"I blocked Big Brother Evan's sword?!"
Erza looked at the attack that she had blocked, her eyes lighting up.
However, before she could think further, more attacks fell one after another.
Clack, clack, clack…
For a time, a series of light clashing sounds rang out in the forest of the back mountain.
Erza and Evan's swords continuously struck against each other, going back and forth and letting out crisp sounds.
Of course, this wasn’t because Erza's strength had already reached Evan's level. It was just that the latter was continuously feeding moves to the former through battle, allowing her to master her own swordsmanship in combat.
Just like that, about a week's time passed...
Erza's sword techniques had become increasingly fierce. In Evan's eyes, she had already reached level 3 or 4 of swordsmanship based on the system’s standards.
It had to be said, for Erza to reach this level in merely a week, she was undoubtedly a genius!
Seeing his little sister possess such exaggerated talent, Evan felt a trace of curiosity in his heart. If he enchanted the attributes of Haki onto Erza's body, could she actually learn it?!
Thinking of this, Evan stopped his attacks.
"Hmm?!"
Erza, who had originally been fighting with increasing bravery and becoming more and more excited, was suddenly stunned upon seeing her big brother retract his sword, and then she looked at Evan with a puzzled gaze.
"Erza…
I have something interesting to teach you..."
As Evan spoke, he used Enchantment Magic on Erza.
"Enchant Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki!"
Instantly, streaks of golden light separated from within his body and shrouded Erza's figure.
"It succeeded!"
Evan looked at those streaks of light and knew that his Enchantment Magic had worked.
Moreover, Evan discovered that he could freely control the intensity of the enchanted Haki onto Erza. He could even enchant all of the Haki within his body into the latter’s body. However, once he did that, his Haki levels would drop to zero, although they could still be upgraded back up using his system funds...
Evan didn’t give Erza too much power. He merely consumed about three hundred thousand or so of his funds, enchanting Erza with all three types of Haki at around level six. He thought that with this, his little sister could master the three types of Haki on her own and successfully raise their levels.
"This feeling is?!"
Erza felt the Haki enchantment inside her body.
Because she didn’t have an attribute template, Erza couldn’t know her exact strength level. She could only make a rough estimate of her power based on what she felt. She faintly felt that the current her could easily defeat the previous her!
In merely an instant, her strength directly leaped to a brand-new level.
"My spirit and perception have all significantly improved!"
Erza tightly closed her eyes. She seemed to be able to hear the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings a hundred meters away, and she could also sense an eagle flying a thousand meters high in the sky.
She could even sense two magical beasts competing for territory three kilometers away!
Everything, absolutely everything, became incomparably clear under her perception. With the augmentation of Haki, Erza even felt as if she had come to know the world anew.
And right now, Evan was also researching his own abilities...
After successfully enchanting Haki onto Erza, he had an idea in his heart. Simply put, he could use his abilities to create a super-strong army of his own...
Moreover, upgrading an ability to level six — which was around the level of an ordinary S-Class mage — only required him to consume a little over a hundred thousand funds. This bit of funds was just a drop in the bucket for him.
As long as he accumulated hundreds of millions in funds, he could completely create an army of a thousand S-Class mages...
Well, in the original work, Irene had cast enchantments on all the soldiers of the Western Continent, turning everyone into berserkers, and every single one of them possessed quite decent strength...
However, although those soldiers were very strong, they were still of no use when facing a true powerhouse.
Thinking of this, Evan threw away his thought of mass-producing powerful soldiers.
He imagined himself creating thousands of soldiers, only for the Magic King to wipe them all out directly with a single basic attack. What a huge loss that would be!
"How do you feel, Erza?"
Evan shook his head, no longer thinking about these impractical and highly inefficient ideas, looked at Erza, and asked.
"I feel that the current me has become stronger!"
Erza slowly opened her eyes, stopping her perception of all things in nature, and answered Evan’s question.
"Then shall we continue?"
Evan curled his index finger at Erza in a provocative manner.
"Alright!"
As Erza spoke, her body instantly arrived in front of Evan, and a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki wrapped around the wooden sword in her hand.
"Good timing!"
Evan looked at Erza, who had already mastered Armament Haki imbuement, with a smile on his lips. The wooden sword in his hand was similarly wrapped in a layer of pitch-black Haki.
The moment the two's wooden swords collided, Haki instantly radiated in all directions!
As the two incorporated Haki into their sparring, the intensity of their battle instantly rose to a whole new level!
Rocks and trees could no longer withstand the collisions between their two wooden swords!
Various kinds of flying sand and rolling stones in the surroundings were continuously blasted into the sky by the impact coming from Evan and Erza's clashes.
"One sword can’t catch up to Big Brother's movements!"
Erza saw that Evan could always block her strikes that were done as she was holding her sword with both hands while he only held his sword with one hand. Immediately, an idea sprouted in her mind.
"I need more weapons!"
Thinking this, Erza took out her second wooden sword.
"Two-Sword Style?"
Evan felt a trace of amusement as he looked at Erza holding a sword in each hand.
"Mm!
If one sword can’t reach Big Brother, then I’ll use two swords!
If two swords are still not enough, then three swords! If that's still not enough, then four swords!"
The little girl looked at her big brother and spoke as such.
"Then come and try it out!
Let's see if your quantity can defeat my quality!"
As Evan spoke, he held his sword with one hand and slashed toward Erza.
"Alright!"
The latter held a wooden sword in each hand, simultaneously imbuing both of them with pitch-black Armament Haki, and slashed forward to meet the former’s attack.
Boom!
The instant the wooden swords in their hands collided, Haki swept across the surroundings!!

T/N - This was another thing that stuck to me when I first read this novel. Using Enchantment to teach others is such a clever idea. Is it lore-accurate? I have no fucking clue! But you can’t deny that it’s very convenient. Irene’s Enchantment Magic really looks like it can do anything, huh?
