Episode 290: The Mystery of Numerous Secrets and Chi

"So, way to go... first of all, it would be easier to see"

That's what Capitan said, and he began to concentrate his chi on his body.

I get the same signs I showed you at the game.

I feel a lot of "chi" condense on the surface of the body of the Capitan.

And then, after a while, Phew, he sighed,

"That's it... look, touch it"

So I said, I showed my right arm.

... Doesn't look particularly unusual.

If you insist, there are signs of Qi that seem to have reinforced the signs a little when you are using physical enhancement.

But when you actually touch it......

"... oh. This is..."

When I touch it, it feels like one is separated by something, not by the feel of the Capitan arm itself.

Should I say that it feels like a tidy, static electricity?

There is a repulsion there to be pushed back.

I try to push hard on occasions, but the reaction with a little force applied to the amount of force pressed works and is pushed back.

"Hello, hang it up with this guy"

That's what the Capitans say, and they give me the dagger.

It's a solid, sharpened piece of fruit.

something like that, I feel repellent about pointing it at Capitan even though I'm not fighting anything else,

"No, but..."

and as I toured, the capitol looked frightened,

"... you, I would have come to kill you at the game, but now what are you talking about"

I came to say.

Sure, that's true, but to say you're in battle is to say that the tag of ethics is off, for better or worse.

You say excitement outweighs reason... sounds like some kind of jerk, but more or less it would be like that to say warrior.

But now it's normal time.

Either that or as an understated character of mine? Or so I think.

... modest, huh?

You don't know if I'm thinking about that, Capitan says even more.

"Well, whatever, the person says otherwise. It's a long way to go, so do it now."

It's not on my face, but it seems to drain quite a bit unexpectedly.

I decided that I should just do that, and I wave a dagger down my Capitan arm.

I was going to make it faster, so the dagger was actually swung down against the Capitan's arm at considerable speed.

Oh, I thought it was a little too strong, but, well, it's Capitan, so it'll be fine......

In fact, the dagger never pierced the Capitan's arm.

The dagger was bounced back and blown away, just like when I pressed it with my hand earlier.

Apparently, the more power we put in, the stronger the power to bounce back.

I think this is good.

Capitan thinks that with admiration. To me,

"... I just told you to do it, but you didn't have to be so serious"

and grudge with a little glance.

From the speed of the dagger, they guessed that I was about to stick a dagger in my arm in pretty good shape.

'Cause you did, and I thought, and when I glanced back gently, he sighed.

Well, I'm sure I put a little too much effort into it.

"Well, fine. But now you know the vibe, don't you?

That's what they asked me, so I snort.

"I care... you mean the technology to make something like armor?

"Well, that's the way you use it now, but if you say it in a more generalized way... materialize your chi, right. It's in magic, isn't it? Shields and shields."

That's what they say, I see.

It's one of those technologies that I managed to use just a little bit where my magic was weak.

"Are you saying you can do the same with Qi?

To my question, Kapitan leaned his neck slightly,

"It's not exactly the same... Well, I'm not a specialist in witchcraft, so it would be like a sale from Garb's grandmother, but the shield by witchcraft is something that you create after you've structured and maintained its shape well in advance, right?

Well, it sure is.

It's quite a theoretical force to say magic.

If its configuration is not solid, it will fail immediately.

Even to the extent that the shield is maintained, the configuration has to be done well.

"Are you out of your mind?

"Well. This one is more of a sensory force. I feel that I can learn how to manipulate it by grasping it with my senses rather than making it according to reason. So, what the hell is this, but if you keep using it all the time, even fools will be able to do it. I don't need a head."

It's an awesome way to say it...

I just figured it out.

Because witchcraft is a theory, the formation of terrestrial ground is very important.

And in a relationship strongly influenced by the brain, referring to witchcraft genius is quite akin to academic genius.

By contrast, the user of Qi... I don't mean to say this, but if I can study, I can do the same.

Instead, there are many idiots, who seem angry, but few of the famous users of Qi seem to have shaped simple thought.

That's probably because you don't have to put so much emphasis on the work necessary for the magic of assembling a theory separately.

Of course, you should be smart.

With that in mind, Capitan might be a brainchild for a "chi" user... I'd be pissed off if I told you.

Capitan continues.

"Materialization of the mind can do many things if you acquire it. I'm free to manipulate the shape of my mind. For example... this is possible."

That being said, the Capitan has a wide, hand held short branch falling to the ground.

Trying to figure out what to do, I put my mind to it, and the next moment, I ripped the leaves of a tree that had fallen apart from the top, into pieces.

"... what's that?"

When I'm surprised, Capitan explains.

"You didn't seem to touch anything, did you? But at the end of this branch is the blade I stretched. That's why I cut it."

That's what I said, while I touched the invisible blade.

Capitan gave me that blade part too, and I squinted my gaze so I could touch it, so, as I was told, I would touch it with surprise.

Then something did happen there.

I can't see anything, but the presence of a long stretched body.

Capitan says.

"If you get used to it, you can do this. The shape is also free-flowing. Isn't that convenient?

Sure, it's handy.

Or it is ideal for unintentional strikes.

I don't know if I can come up with such a use, but I think I might treasure an assassination or something.

"Of course, there are shortcomings. It's quite draining. It's much easier to just focus on weapons if you fight normally. You might want to keep this as a trump card or a last resort."

For a long time now, I see sweat on the forehead of the Capitan, who keeps materializing his chi.

Pretty worn out, I guess.

Capitan is much better at using Qi than I am, so I don't know how much I can do this...

said Capitan.

"Well, for now, I'm going to try. Way to go? I'll knock you in. Just do it. Practice and you'll be able to do it one of these days."

That face was the face of a ghost instructor I saw a long time ago, and it brought back terrible memories in my brain.
