Whenever she mention how Jin gotten his sword, Nagi couldn't help and raise his eyebrow in slight interest as he sips his tea. Claiming Judecca wasn't something that any normal mage could do without getting devolved by its power. There was a moment where it almost happened to Nagi, but his friends were around to help him get a little stronger to use it properly.]
In my world... Most of the enemies I've fought were either monsters or Magic King Candidates. There was even a time whenever I fought an actual Magic King. And that was an experience that I won't ever forget.
[And it was a wake-up call for him. All things considered... Nagi could've become exactly like his senpai if things went wrong. Though as long as he has his friends around to keep him in check, then he'd be okay. But even now, it was still a scary fact that there were changes going on in his body.]
... Using magic has a lot of benefits, but there's plenty of drawbacks to go along with it. If a mage loses control of their magic, then they'll become a monster. And as for me... Well, I'll become something much worst if that happens.
[He tried not to think about it too often... But Nagi really wanted to keep his humanity in tact instead of becoming a mindless creature of destruction. That's something he didn't want her, Jin, Sei or anyone to see.]

[She knows what monsters are but the latter?
Nagi must be one of them since he wanted to be the Magic King. A competition? While a lot of their conversations usually dissolved into her scolding him for something or other, there were still times it was more than that. One sticks out where there was a time when he proclaimed he was going to be that king.
Only he's otoutojisan now.
She wonders why he won't forget the experience. She wonders what could be worse than a monster. NOT A SUPER PERVERT?? She wonders how magic would turn him into one and if he should just not use it if there was such a huge risk. There's a lot of questions he's raising but that one thing in particular stands out.
If he already has a sword that could destroy the world, why use magic if it was so dangerous? In SAO, Aki always came up with strategies that had the highest probability of success with no casualties. Avoiding player deaths was what she wanted even more than beating a boss.
And so.]
As long as I'm around, I won't let that happen.
[Her fingers lace on top of the table and she presses her mouth to her hands, keeping her eyes on him.]
For now, let's focus on improving your sword skills. I'm much more used to just giving out orders rather than being a teacher but... I'll do my best. It's for Hijiri-san.

He was afraid of not keeping his promise to Lilith and the others. He looks into his right hand just for a second as if he's recalling a painful memory, shuts his eyes, then...
"As long as I'm around, I won't let that happen."
Those words were enough to snap him out of it. That's right... As long as he had strong people like Aki around to slap him silly if he ever went crazy, then he would be okay. After all, he wasn't able to get through all of his challenges all by himself. It was his friends that gave him the power to move forward...
That was the sole thing that set him apart from the Magic King of the alternate world. He relied on his own strength far too much while Nagi was able obtain a little bit of strength from everyone and win. Some might have called it cowardly or clingy, but that's how he as the future Magic King of his world would end up doing things. In response, he'll open his eyes a little with a warm expression on his face and nods slowly. And he tightens his right hand into a fist as he's quietly promising himself to never forget this warmth.]
Mm... I really am grateful for your help. I'll go through whatever hellish training you've got.
[It couldn't be as bad as what Mira and Akio had put him through!]
no subject
Being a friend.
His expression isn't one she's really seen before. She looks on, curious by it. Even so it makes her happy, happy that he's satisfied with that, and that he's nodding in agreement. It's not the first time someone has felt a care and warmth from Asuna, from her bright soul that guides others to path full of light. No little brother oji-san that she knows was going to turn into a monster while she was here. She promises.]
H-Hellish? No...
[She stares at him in surprise and then raises an eyebrow.]
What sort of training did you go through to feel compelled to say something like that?
no subject
[It required dragging out some of the potential that Nagi already had within him. It looked like a lot of his training required him doing some fast level grinding depending on the situation at hand. A similar incident happened whenever he had to get a bit stronger in order to obtain Judecca.]
I had to get the crap beaten out of me to learn a proper spell. What didn't kill me ended up making me loads stronger.
1/2
[SEXY?? WELL, WHATEVER. Not a big deal!! More importantly, there's some interesting (and scary) things he said just now. And what's with saying he had a training 'arc'? Did he consider himself part of a manga? Actually, he's said things like that before.
Nagi was... pretty interesting in that way. Maybe that's why she didn't avoid him despite his perverseness.]
no subject
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Isn't that how it always is?
[She stares down into her tea with a small smile, as if lost in memories or thoughts or just a faraway place. Then she suddenly lifts her head again, cheerful.]
I won't beat you up. Like I said, I'm probably rusty with my sword anyway. Ah, as long as you keep up with your decent behavior. Mmmn, it has been pleasant talking with you about things.
