Training

Here's the revised version with the correct names and improved flow:

**Marvel: Let Me Touch Your Weapon**

Hearing Kai ask this, Tony's interest piqued, and he turned his attention fully to him.

In truth, Tony had already considered Kai's situation.

"Based on the abilities you've shown in front of me and the effects they caused, I've analyzed that your close combat skills aren't as strong as your magic. In other words, if I wanted to beat you, I'd just have to force you into a hand-to-hand fight."

Kai smirked, realizing Tony had been thinking things through carefully.

"That's true," Kai admitted. "But what if I told you I can use magic to strengthen my physical body as well? The longer I train, the stronger I'll get. Eventually, my body will be immune to any attack, and no weapon will work against me. By that point… do you think anyone could defeat me?"

Kai deliberately exaggerated his abilities to boost Tony's confidence. He wasn't invincible yet, but with time, his growing strength could make him nearly untouchable.

Tony looked skeptical.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. Everything I've told you is true — you just never believed it. Remember?"

Tony thought back and realized that Kai's claims hadn't been empty before.

"Besides," Kai continued, "think about it. By then, I'll have mastered magic, and you'll be the most powerful figure in technology. My abilities will keep improving, and you can keep upgrading your Iron Man suits. If we team up, what's there to worry about?"

"And hey, I'm not saying you shouldn't prepare. Just don't lose your head over it. Keeping the right mindset is key. That way, even if a tough enemy shows up, you'll handle it better. Let's face it — that one-eyed guy got in your head today, and now you're second-guessing yourself."

Tony couldn't deny it. He was grateful that Kai spent so much time trying to pull him out of his slump. And as Kai spoke, Tony realized he'd let Fury's pessimism drag him down.

"Yeah… you're right," Tony said with a sigh. "I've been overthinking this."

With his confidence restored, Tony stopped dwelling on Fury's plans. Compared to Fury's grim outlook, Kai's perspective seemed far more encouraging.

Tony, feeling much better, grabbed the wine bottle from the table, poured a full glass for himself and Kai, and the two clinked glasses before drinking together.

But while Tony relaxed, Kai knew the pressure was now on him. He had to live up to his words. If he didn't improve his magic soon, he'd risk being exposed the next time a major threat appeared.

So when Kai returned home, he increased his training time with the power of space. Each day, he pushed himself to strengthen his body, hoping to unlock a method to boost his physical abilities through magic.

Unfortunately, that wasn't as easy as Kai had imagined. Despite hours of effort, the power of space refused to cooperate. Every attempt either failed to activate or resulted in internal injuries that forced him to heal himself using his staff's magic.

Still, Kai kept experimenting, stubbornly trying new approaches day after day — but success remained elusive.

Time passed quickly when you focused on a goal, and before long, summer arrived.

One afternoon, Kai received a call from Tony.

"Hey, Kai!" Tony's voice came through the phone, sounding unusually upbeat. "This summer heat's insane, so Pepper, Yinsen, and I decided to go sea fishing on my yacht. You in?"

Kai had been frustrated by his failed training attempts and figured a break might clear his mind.

"Sure," Kai agreed. "I could use some fresh air."

The next morning, Kai arrived at Tony's villa as planned. After gathering their things, they headed to the harbor where Tony's yacht was docked.

When Kai saw the yacht, he couldn't hide his surprise.

The massive vessel in front of him was nothing like the modest boat he'd imagined. Sleek, luxurious, and packed with cutting-edge tech, the yacht stretched nearly a hundred meters long.

Tony strolled over proudly and stood beside Kai and Yinsen.

"Not bad, huh?" Tony grinned. "This beauty's the biggest yacht in the country right now. Impressive, right?"

Kai managed to mask his amazement, but deep down, he had to admit — he'd only seen yachts like this on TV.

Ethan's expression barely changed, and Tony, too busy watching Kai's reaction, didn't notice.

Without acknowledging Tony's bragging, Kai walked straight onto the yacht.

Tony blinked in disbelief.

"Hey! You can't just ignore me like that!" Tony called after him.

Ignoring Tony's protests, Yinsen followed Kai without a word.

Tony stood there, arms crossed, clearly frustrated.

"Unbelievable," Tony muttered. "I finally get a chance to show off, and nobody even reacts."

Pepper appeared behind him, lightly patting his shoulder.

"Come on, Tony. Stop pouting and get on the boat."

With that, Pepper walked past him, leaving Tony no choice but to jog after her. Putting his arm around her waist, Tony finally boarded the yacht with a grin.
