Chapter 151: Developments in Specific Fields

"A close-range fighter, huh?" Bellina replied softly, as if the words were heavy on her lips.
"In the meantime, you, Lilyana, are the most versatile among them all," Haruto observed Bellina for a moment before shifting his gaze to Lilyana.
"You can transform into a close-range, mid-range, or even long-range fighter. Your ability to create various weapons makes you very flexible. That is an incredible skill," Haruto said, starting with sincere praise.
Lilyana smiled slightly, feeling proud to hear Haruto's compliment.
"But... you also end up being the weakest compared to the three of them." However, that smile quickly faded as Haruto continued in a more serious tone.
"What?" Lilyana's voice trembled slightly, reflecting her confusion. Her eyes widened, unable to believe what she had just heard.
"Look at Patrick; he has a clear goal. Patrick focuses on two types of fighting—close-range and midrange—and his eyesight makes him very effective in both categories. Natsuki also focuses as a long-range and mid-range fighter. Even Bellina, despite only having healing abilities, has a clear direction as a close-range fighter." Haruto nodded, remaining calm.
Lilyana glanced at Patrick, Natsuki, and Bellina, trying to understand what Haruto was expressing. The three of them had more directed paths, while Lilyana seemed to be wavering between various types of fighting.
"You, on the other hand, have potential in three types of fighting at once. That makes it difficult for you to become strong in one type of fighting at this early stage. You are still searching for your identity as a fighter," Haruto continued, providing further explanation.
"Maybe in the future, when you have mastered all your abilities, you will become the strongest fighter. But for now, your development will be slower compared to them." Haruto paused for a moment, allowing the words to sink into Lilyana's mind.
"The development of Patrick, Natsuki, and Bellina is clearer because they focus more on one or two types, while you have three types. Although your progress may seem faster now, in the end, they will surpass you. However, don't misunderstand. In the future, you will be much stronger than the three of them," Haruto clarified, looking at Lilyana seriously.
Lilyana listened carefully, weighing every word that came from Haruto's mouth. A brief silence filled the room before Haruto continued, this time with more enthusiasm.
"That's why, tomorrow you will fight. Patrick, Natsuki, and Bellina will team up against you, Lilyana. This is not just about honing your individual skills, but also about learning to collaborate. You will fight according to your types, which will accelerate your development and strengthen your abilities," Haruto explained again.
Patrick, Natsuki, and Bellina nodded in unison. Their faces showed a mix of confidence and doubt. Lilyana turned her gaze to them, trying to read their feelings—they knew this challenge wouldn't be easy, but it made sense. Haruto spoke so logically that mastery in one field could be achieved more quickly, while mastering many things required extra time and effort.
"Good, rest tonight. Tomorrow your training will begin," Haruto then instructed them to sleep.
"Okay!" The four of them replied in unison before going to bed.

Days passed quickly, yet I felt full of struggle. Under Haruto's strict supervision, they began with stretching, followed by physically exhausting training.
After their bodies were forged, Haruto led them in hand-to-hand combat training. Every attack and defense was accompanied by Haruto's firm commands, pushing them to surpass their limits.
But the pinnacle of all this training was the one-versus-many fight. Patrick, Natsuki, and Bellina united to face Lilyana. At first, the outcome was already clear—Lilyana easily outperformed them.
