Chapter 46: I Am a Very Generous Person
At the shopping center, some people were handling the arrangements.
"Shizuku, please treat this person."
Ikki pointed to the unconscious smile on the ground and spoke to his younger sister.
"No matter what happens to someone like this, but because Onii-sama said so, reluctantly, I will let myself save his life."
Shizuku was uninterested but still crouched down, controlled the water power, and began healing Bishou.
She was a Hydromancer.
Hydromancers are known for their expertise in protection and healing, not to mention her magical control was at level A.
For beings like humans who are mostly made of water, Shizuku had a very strong control at a biological level.
With her abilities, she could almost achieve the same treatment as a Healing Capsule.
It wouldn't even be difficult to reattach Bishou's severed arm, but in this case, reattaching his arm would only cause more problems, so Shizuku only helped him stop the bleeding.
Nagi was watching over the terrorists.
At that moment, the issue finally ended.
Ikki sighed in relief. Although he didn't participate in the battle in the open field, he was very worried about Stella and Hoshiharu.
"That sword strike was truly incredible!"
Ikki looked at Hoshiharu beside him. Thinking about the technique the other party used to defeat Bishou just now, he praised it loudly.
"Oh? Can Kurogane discern the secret of Junior Brother's technique just now?"
Before Hoshiharu could say anything, Nene turned with great interest.
"I can't say I've seen it, but I can guess the principle."
When talking about swordsmanship, Ikki became very interested, and his eyes lit up.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be derived from the signature skill of the God of War, <>. Hoshiharu integrated Trackless Step into his own swordsmanship and then created his technique, right?"
Ikki was very confident in his own judgment. Furthermore, he could see the superficial principles at a glance, and his insight was indeed quite astonishing.
<> was the signature skill of Nangou Torajiro, a breathing and footwork method that combined ancient martial arts.
The secret of this technique was through special breathing and footwork, you could slip into the opponent's subconscious, so even if the opponent saw you, they wouldn't pay attention to you.
The human brain has its limits.
The human brain can't possibly distinguish all the detailed information received by the senses, such as what is seen in front of the eyes and what is heard by the ears. Even if the brain can see and hear these things, the human consciousness cannot process all the information. If you receive and process all the information, your brain would overheat.
Therefore, the human brain will put lower-priority information into the "subconscious mind." and then higher-priority information will be handed over to the "conscious mind" for processing.
In this way, the brain's processing load can be reduced.
For example,
When a gangster threatens you with a gun, do you notice what kind of earrings he is wearing?
In this example, the gangster and his weapon are high-level information processed by the conscious mind, like what clothes he is wearing, what accessories he carries, etc., all of which are less important subconscious information.
With this footwork, you can shift yourself into the opponent's subconscious, making the opponent perceive you as not very important subconscious information and unconsciously ignore you.
Only when the other party suddenly appears in front of him, and when facing a life-and-death crisis, the brain suddenly wakes up and recognizes the other party as important information again.
But by then, it would be even harder to block the opponent's attack.
This is the footwork called <>.
With his strong insight, Hoshiharu understood and memorized the principles when his Master used this technique for the first time. After that, through continuous exploration and experimentation, he finally created the sword skill <>.
Just like <>, <> also takes advantage of the human subconscious, slipping the sword into the opponent's subconscious, blurring the opponent's awareness, and unconsciously perceiving the sword as not a threat.
The person wouldn't wake up until the sword was close to his throat, but by then it would be too late.
From an outsider's perspective, Hoshiharu approached Bishou very normally, and when he was in a daze, he cut off his left hand.
But the actual situation was Bishou's consciousness was misled. When in a daze, he misjudged the timing of Hoshiharu's sword swing. Before he could activate his Reflector, his wrist was cut off.
Hoshiharu had been practicing swordsmanship for less than a year.
In less than a year, he spent 70% to 80% of his time on physical training and exploring special abilities. In the limited time, he summarized several methods, including the skill <>.
Unfortunately, the time was not enough, otherwise, his swordsmanship could be much better and his domain could be higher.
"Of course, my feeling is correct."
Ikki's eyes gradually became hotter.
Since they met, he knew that Hoshiharu was his type. Both of them were very devoted to swordsmanship.
He couldn't help but want to fight with Hoshiharu now. He wanted to understand his swordsmanship, understand the principles of his sword, and at the same time verify what he had learned.
However, this was clearly not a suitable opportunity, so he suppressed his fighting spirit.
"But why didn't you just use <>?"
Ikki suddenly realized this blind spot, couldn't help the doubt in his heart, and asked Hoshiharu again.
Hoshiharu was still very happy to be praised by Ikki, with a "humble, humble" smile on his face.
But as soon as Ikki said this, the smile on Hoshiharu's face disappeared instantly, and his expression became cold, as if he was angry with these words.
"Yes Junior Brother, I also want to ask, since you can create a sword skill like <> based on <>, why not just use <>?"
After hearing this, Nene also had the same doubt.
"Hehehe."
Hoshiharu sneered.
"I am a very generous person."
"?"
A question mark appeared in both of their heads.
What does not using <> have to do with having a generous personality?
"My legs don't want to work, and naturally I can't force them."
"...?"
"...!"
Both of them looked puzzled, then thought for a moment.
Ikki suddenly remembered Hoshiharu's appearance in the judo class before. No matter how the teacher taught him, his hands and feet seemed to be fighting, and he couldn't even hold a basic posture for a long time.
He suddenly understood.
"I see, you can't learn-"
"—Right~!"
