The Branded Female Fencer
Prairie Fairies and Giant Beasts, Part 11 - Training Landscape
"What's so different about me and Aerie? My physical abilities don't make that much difference, but I feel like there's a huge difference in my combat abilities?
"You have about three reasons. One is experience. I have lived in the prairie ever since I was born. So I know how to fight prairie creatures. Alphilis is new to everything, so naturally he can't do it well. You can think that humans can't give half that power in front of their first opponents to fight. In fact, I doubt I can successfully fight the humans and demons out there, either."
"I see... so we can fight to flow so much"
"The second is that Alphilis has too much power in his body. Stand your body and mind more loosely, push when pulled, and pull when pushed. And find a gap and defeat it."
"Uh-huh??
"Every organism has its own unique time, its actions, its gaps. Even if it doesn't look like it at first sight, if you set something up, you can always do the gap. So what we need is not the amount of 'decide' blows, but the variety of 'collapse' blows. You see?"
"Somehow, ha"
"The third is that I am fortifying myself with wind sorcery when fighting. If you can fortify your weapon with magic, you can do your own body, too, right?
"I've heard of that idea, but... it's pretty hard, isn't it?
"Of course it forces you to use your outside powers to work your body, so if you make one mistake, you can break your own. So even when it comes to strengthening, it only enhances a little instantaneously. In that sense, wind magic is quite combative. Because you can increase your speed of movement itself."
"Well, then maybe I can too."
"Oh, you should practice how to use the wind. Let me help you."
That was how Miranda became the experimental bench for new technologies in Alphilis. Miranda wasn't actually very clever, and what Aerial taught her wasn't much of a basic physical surprise. As she herself told Alphilis whenever, it may be hard to say that her skill as a warrior is certainly first-rate.
But this is something that Miranda and the rest of us are aware of, but if we kill each other for anything, the strongest thing was Miranda. Miranda's drug technology was extensive and close to explosives, poisons, paralytics, sleeping pills -- anything. Once you've even taken the wind, you won't know if they poison you before you know it. It was easy to predict that an immortal woman who could also exercise sacred witchcraft would not lose in the first half of her life.
And Lisa was teaching Faranx applied technology as a sensor.
"Then yesterday's appearance... try to stretch the sensors along the surface."
"Yes..."
Lisa closes her eyes, concentrates and stretches her sensors. It senses the shape of the surface and spreads the twitch and the range of influence of its sensors. If you reach the wall, you do the same thing, widening the range of sensors to accompany the wall, and finally stretching the sensors around to cover a room that reaches the ceiling about 15m square x 7m high.
The only detection Lisa had ever made was to fly like Sonar into a radial form centered on herself. Squeeze the orientation and reduce the burden. That's all the longer the flight distance, but Sonar had the disadvantage of not being able to detect fine for a minute with a fast sensing speed.
It was also possible to sense objects that were unnatural or moved compared to the surrounding terrain, but the characteristics of the organism - for example, the shape of the general appearance could be judged, but not even the hardness. So I know "what it looks like to be human," but to check it out in detail I had to fly the sonar over and over and see if it was someone I knew. Lexus said "amateur" referring to how Lisa flies the sonar over and over again.
Of course there is always something like a junction by some sensors around Lisa, but it was also a fluctuation. It fluctuated to about 20m over a certain period, so that Lisa could know what was hooked in it. But if it was a ripple, it wouldn't be sensed if you approached Lisa at once during that ripple, and even if you hit the ripple again, it would have been easy to get close if you had let it go in tune with the ripple. Of course, that kind of technology was possible because it's Lexus, but there are around 10 Blackhawks who can do the same. The way Lisa was alerted would have seemed really naive to them as it was essential mastery techniques for assassins to warn the sensors.
What Lisa is currently doing was a vigilant way of sensing even the likes of assassins. In other words, consider the room itself on its own extension line to distract it. The distracting minute is highly precise, sensable of all who touch it, but at the same time involves considerable mental fatigue and a shorter duration.
"Um, let's do it first. So how many other creatures, especially insects, are in the room right now?"
"... 7 on the ground, 25 on the wall, 8 on the ceiling"
"What's on the wall behind the eagle?
"1"
"What's its shape?
"I thought it was like a muckade."
"Come on, pass"
Lisa unconcentrates. But despite getting the pass, I'm somewhere dissatisfied.
"What's up? I thought you said you passed."
"... it took me two weeks to finally. Lisa is stunned by her incapacity."
"Right..."
Faranx only affirmed lightly, but in fact, this training was an early and usually one-year training if Lisa and I had the same C-rank sensors. Do it to him. It was enough that I wished I could get the hang of it while I was here.
"(Too soon... some wild warcraft do it relatively naturally, but it was impossible to distract even the eagles to the ceiling for about 100 years after their birth. This room is the best in Washi again. I can't go any further... but this girl doesn't even have 1/10 of the body of a eagle, so it's easy to get her attention in this room. Maybe if I get used to it a little bit, I can stretch it 100m square...)"
Faranx, who is heartily stunned. Not impossible, he doesn't know, but Lisa's sensor capabilities were already trying to reach the top of the B-rank by guild standards. By the way, there are supposedly no more than 100 sensors in the continent above A-rank. Without waiting a month, Lisa was about to join a group of the world's top. It is only the person who does not notice.
"Faranx, let's move on to the next phase"
"Um... next time, I'll circle the sensors to keep them in line with the air flow. Difficulty is not comparable to earlier..."
"Hehe, let's learn and show in no time"
Training moves on to the next phase with Lisa's invincible laughter. And Lisa was right, in the meantime, to take the form of this training.
"... Okay, here we go..."
"Gu, gu, gu!
"... get up... dragreo..."
Lifeless had come to the prairie with Dragreo. Of course it's for the plan, but there's nothing more important than taking it to Dragreo and sleeping.
"... oh my god... if it's storm season, Faranx would be sure to be in his residence too... the dragleo at heart is in this..."
Though the Faranx residence is well known, I went out of my way to visit the prairie during the stormy period because Faranx is not divine, but Dragreo is still asleep. Lifeless also thought of moving directly near Faranx's residence, but the magnetic field was distorted inside the prairie, and if he did poorly, the metastasis magic itself could fail. I just wanted to avoid the lifeless, what a disgrace to move deep into the ground and disappear. Besides, it seems that Faranx makes no sense if Dragreo doesn't defeat him. I don't know the reason for this, but it is what my master says.
That's why I purposefully moved to the surrounding area of the prairie, a relatively stable location of the magnetic field. How bad the sun was, there was a giant tornado approaching a few hundred meters in front of us.
"... well, it's better than moving into the middle of a tornado... I wonder what's going on..."
Lifeless thinks a little, but something called tornado approaching speed is pretty fast.
"... I have no choice... leave Dragreo..."
When Lifeless reaches a lesser conclusion, he leaves Dragreo as he is. And when I lose so much and see Dragreo swallowed up by the tornado and rose high in heaven, I begin to prepare myself for the metastasis.
"... stay, well, you won't die about that... and if you're going to die about it, that's it... and I'll do it with Faranx instead... which actually sounds like a bit of fun too... huffy..."
Lifeless laughed with a little pleasure and left the scene behind.
