"Sir Fennex, may I ask for an explanation?"

On the second day of the tournament, Ms Rhino, who is sitting in the audience seat of the Sacramento family, somehow asks for a favor.

It seems that Miss Micah's fourth match was ambushed because it was almost time.

I started putting it in the infirmary, but during Miss Micah's game, I took off my white coat temporarily and got permission to leave the infirmary.

Of course, if you need anything urgent, you're on standby to answer the call.

"Even though I was told it was an explanatory note, Micah's game, as you've seen so far, is just for a moment."

Here we go. I won. Isn't that all you can say?

That's true, but Miss Rhino also laughs bitterly.

"That's right... If you don't mind, can you tell me how you can make that move?

If it's a secret, Ms Rhino adds, withdrawing the current question.

It seems like a snake's foot, but it is an important ally appeal to the Sakura Border Homes that they do not intend to carry out any intelligence work.

"It's not a secret, I don't mind."

"Probably," he adds, inadvertently responding immediately to the nature of Klein's swordsmanship.

Because it is the most powerful sword in my class, I thought I would need your permission.

"How do you like it, sir?

"Hmm, I don't mind. Anyway, there's nothing I can do about it, that's..."

Mr Gentow also seems to know what kind of technique head hunting is.

"Now, I'm a shameful apprentice about neck hunting, but let me explain something to you."

Ms Rhino will gavel at me with a pleasant face, but I think it will be much more plain than I expected.

"The basics of that are insights."

And that's also extreme.

"Insights? Well, it means seeing what they're doing, right?

"Yes, remember Micah's three previous matches."

In the first round, the arrogant opponent avoided a very warm attack aimed at the weapon and hunted it down.

In the second round, after taking the first round, he avoided a serious attack and hunted the head.

In the third round, he was hunted down to the second round, dodging a nervous and lacking attack.

I won an all-neck hunt. Miss Micah wasn't sweating at all.

At dinner's table, she sighed that she didn't have to do any special training.

"Now, did Micah move ahead of the opponent or later in each match?"

"Eh? Well, sure... that?

I wonder which one it was, Ms. Rhino's eyes, tilting her neck, were all fat.

"The correct answer is just before or at the same time as the other person moves"

Neck hunting is a backhand technique that avoids the opponent's attacks and then moves into a counterattack, but aims to move ahead of the opponent.

Before the enemy attacks, they detect what attacks are coming from which direction and at what time, and move on to evasive behavior.

When the enemy moves one for the attack, we also move one for evasion.

That way, we won't know how the enemy attacked.

It's a natural story.

And I don't know what you're talking about.

"You're kidding, right? How can you do that...?

That's what I thought when the village chief taught me.

"Observe and guess the person's gaze, posture, muscle state, breathing..."

"I hear that a good knight or soldier can do that... at that level?

I can't help it, can I? The theory is to prove the facts.

"Does Lord Klein's apprentice mean that Sir Fennex can do it?

Actually, I can do it a little bit.

I think it's amazing, so I want to brag about it. Hmm.

At first, I thought it was impossible, but as a result of my daily basic practice with Micah, I was able to do it exclusively for Micah.

With daily repetition, with a little preliminary movement such as gaze and foot movement, you can see that "Ah, that shape is coming next".

Then, during the game format exercise, I found a similar preliminary motion and said, "Is that the same type of attack coming? I can feel it.

As a result of repeating it again and again, it became apparent to me that even outside of Miss Micah,

So my defenses have a reputation.

"I was able to get there, but after I sensed the other person's movement, I couldn't move around."

Of course, once you've detected the movement and finished, the opponent will simply attack you with a stick.

You must be able to maneuver through the attack and take a position where you can counterattack advantageously.

What is an advantageous counterattack position?

It is first and foremost a blind spot of vision.

If they can't see, they can't react.

Next, being a mental blind spot.

In the world, the invisibility of enemies means that there are fierce people who think they are invisible and respond.

There is no point in a visual blind spot with such vigilance. Therefore, we find a place where the opponent's vigilance is weak, a spiritual blind spot.

Unalerted places can become blind spots that cannot be dealt with even if they are visible.

Finally, a postural blind spot.

If the opponent was a strong practitioner without a mental blind spot, the last thing to rely on is the postural blind spot generated by the laws of physics.

Due to the structure of the human body, there are operating limitations in the joints of the shoulders, hips, and limbs. Muscle output is also limited.

After the opponent has dodged the attack, it is the most difficult place for the opponent to respond, which is the postural blind spot.

In general, these three conditions are met, but in the case of people, the back.

The birth of neck hunting is the logic of magic.

"You can detect an attack from someone you don't know when, but you can see what kind of defense the other person is thinking. Do you think you can?

"I know you're invincible if you can do that...."

That's right.

That's why Village Chief Klein is as strong as a demon, and Miss Micah is the strongest in synchronization with the Military Sons' Association.

Since Miss Mayka is not officially in the military registry, her ranking is unknown by mixing guards and knights.

However, I've never seen Miss Micah losing since the moment I thought I caught a head hunt.

Just once.

When I finished explaining head hunting to Ms. Rhino, I heard a loud cheer from the audience seat.

Now that we have taken the seat of the most prominent athlete in the tournament, this is the signal that we, Miss Micah, will enter.

"Now, what kind of hands will the four-round opponent come in?"

As they gazed at the venue, both of them greeted each other and stood up silently as they heard the voice of the beginning.

Oh, will you come with that?

"What do you mean, Lord Fennex?

"Apparently, the opponent realized that this time it was a backhand neck hunt."

Ms Rhino takes advantage of my commentary.

"I see! If you're the one who's going to fight back, it's better to move first."

"That's what it is. But, well... it's not a very effective response to neck hunting."

What?

Ms Rhino shouts in surprise, but as the game moves, I will show you in silence.

Miss Mayka just attacked herself for the first time in the tournament.

Miss Micah is sharp enough to attack normally. Evidence of good daily basic practice.

The dagger is solid, and the preliminary movements and moves are neatly hidden.

Sure enough, the opponent was surprised at his sharpness and managed to avoid him after losing his posture.

There, two daggers and three daggers prepared predicting avoidance are sent out in turn.

The opponent is desperately attacked, but Miss Micah says she can't afford it from a distance, so she feels comfortable practicing the play.

This opponent's Block Proficiency is moderately superior, as they have only won up to four rounds.

In an inadequate posture, the Five Daggers, he prevented them.

But that's the limit.

He decides that next time he cannot be prevented, and comes out of a collapsed attitude to find a winning chance in a thousand strokes.

I think the will not to give up victory and judgment should have been praised.

I just had a bad time with him.

Miss Mayka, who had predicted that she would come, quickly avoided a counter-attack and hunted her head off.

The opponent surrendered on his knees and now finished the tournament.

Later on, he will be burned by the population as a mastermind who has met Miss Micah for six years.

I haven't checked to see if the person was happy.

Ms Rhino points to the venue with a surprising face, so as an explainer, she talks about the current game.

"Neck hunting is a counter-attack if it's a strong classification, but it's actually just a method of insight. When it comes to Mayka's stage, it doesn't matter anymore."

As long as you know how the other person moves, it doesn't make a big difference whether you move first or later.

The first thing to read is the difference between the opponent's attack and their defense.

After reading it, all you have to do is fill the blind spot of the opponent.

"What a bullshit... I wonder if there's any way to win."

"Yes, there is.

The point is, we don't have to let them read our movements.

Instead of gazing at something, he has a wide field of view to look at the whole thing.

Properly structured exercises can scrape away wasteful movements and make it harder to see nature and technique happen.

For example, I can barely see the preliminary movements of the village chief Klein. Miss Micah is also quite difficult to understand.

On the other hand, it seems that my movements are still easy to understand from the point of view of Village Chief Klein, and Miss Micah praised me for being difficult to understand.

"It's called neck hunting, but it's very basic as a combat technique, predicting the movement of the opponent, so countermeasures are also very basic."

"In other words, we have to give the tunnel local power....."

"If you're going to fight on the same terms, you're going to have to."

There is no such thing as a fantasy that is convenient for any superior opponent in this world.

If you fight under the same conditions, you will not win unless you train and develop your ability to defeat at at least one opponent.

Luck after that. You can pray to God for it.
