The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 75 - First Day of Conference, Night (9) -

"How did you do that? Magic?"

"No, it's the so-called 'temper' one"

"Huh?"

There were so many cluttered words out there that Jake accidentally voiced a loose voice between them. Titania was unintentionally giggling at Jake's expression, which also looked pretty dumb.

"That's just good. Is that too much to add? Qigong, fighting, exasperation, Sanskrit (Lun). There are many different ways to call it, but it's a different 'technology' than witchcraft. Let's just put it bluntly, let's say the effective use of life force.

Practise and activate in the body. However, humans today have almost no more users. Because of its human vitality and so on, it will be difficult to gain advantages without using it more effectively.

To my knowledge, the best user is the brave Fostina, plus Gora the Five Wise. Those who make a name for themselves in the human world are quite small and resourceful, but they are also different from their properties.

Can you understand that?

"No, refreshing"

Titania was nodding as she was convinced the other way, as Jake instantly shook her head to the side.

"I'm honest, I was, too, at first. Then let's put it in question format. Hit me if you have any questions."

"Um, the technology and the dots will be available to me, too?

"It's a technology that anyone can use, whether it's an organism or not. You can use it on Jake, and in part you might already be using it. Because depending on how you use it, you can increase the strength of your body, move quickly, and empower your sword."

"Me?

Jake doesn't have a verse to think of, but I thought it was because of this that he would have incredible power when he was once cornered.

"I don't know, but why don't we all use this handy technology?"

"One thing is because there is no one to teach. Right, let's say we call this qigong. Qigong is, the point is, 'put it on top'. The strength of the original body determines the final strength. In other words, no matter how you multiply your physical abilities with qigong, you won't get a great deal of effect if your original body is poor. You can't beat something that has 5 body strengths in the first place, even if someone with 1 body strength triples it."

"Yeah, I know that - oh well. No matter how much the human body is strengthened with Qigong, it doesn't reach demons that boast many times the strength and physical ability of the human being"

"Yes, you're right. The fact that even masters can enhance with qigong is at best 5 times better. When you're in Oyama, you can't beat a demon who boasts a body with his arms no matter how much he strengthens it."

Well, with the exception of Dragreo, Titania was swallowing the word. Jake didn't know that, and he asked a bunch of questions.

"Blowing up bath water is another different way to use it, isn't it?

"Yeah, it can also be released in an instant and converted into a shock wave. Depending on how you use it, it will also work like a sensor. Shall I say that the strength of qigong is its application? I'm going to be quite familiar with that too, but maybe there's a way I can apply it that I don't even think about."

"I see, it looks deep. It's not like magic, by the way, is it?

Jake swallows fast. Titania nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, the so-called streams (odds) are collecting pure magic vegetables from within their bodies, and they have different paths to use than qigong. Some overlap, but that makes it difficult to use them. If used at the same time, each other's paths collide and become obsolete due to overload on the flesh if they cannot be used successfully or poorly"

"That's horrible. Is that why magic has become more prevalent in humans than in capped qigong?"

"That's the thing. Because magic can interfere with the Great Current (Mana) by using a small stream. Magic is more likely if you use greater power."

"Then what's the point of remembering qigong?

In response to Jake's question, Titania answered quietly.

"There are countless answers to that question. But isn't Jake already coming up with it?

"- Oh, I've already come up with a few ways to use it. But more than that, if you're going to be strong, you can't choose the means. If it's not extrajudicial, we'll learn everything."

"It's that intention. What for, what to slash. If you're not mistaken, you'll be a great knight."

Titania smiled with a grin, but the smile was so beautiful and full of charity that Jake blushed again. Less hot air and desperate to keep her limbs from looking.

And I asked more questions to delude them.

"Hey. What kind of training do I have to use that qigong?

"First of all, spiritual unity is the same as witchcraft. Unlike the magic that just senses the flow of the surrounding atmosphere and the pulse of the earth, it senses the flow of blood and at the same time the flow of life. Once you know the flow, all you have to do is accumulate it in the center of your body and move it to the area you want to collect. If you can move through that set of tasks, you can use them in action."

"To the part you want to gather - that is, that it is also possible to strengthen only the fist"

"Of course. You can do this if you're used to it"

Titania gathered qigong on the knife and waved it down. The released force was dividing the water by an open-air bath. The water poured out into the incision as if it had been cut with a sharp blade, as if it had remembered.

"In this way, some used to use a hand knife with qigong as a weapon. The density of qigong increases the more it is collected in some parts, so altitude can be higher than steel."

"I see, that's amazing. So, I want to ask you one thing, who fixes this bath?

Titania watched the running water for a long time, but accidentally turned away.

"... Well, that's the end of the evening's training. I'm not supposed to be here, so let's just say I leave."

"Wait a minute, you're running away!

"Rude. Not to be rumored to have brought a strange woman into the hot tub, he said he had taken care of it."

"Who came in on their own in the first place and broke the bath! Oh, we haven't talked yet."

It was an open-air bath, but Titania flickered across the wall without sound and went outside. Jake just realized that he had broken in from there, but if someone else could see him chasing her naked, that's not what they figured out.

Jake looked at the bath again and was feeling the awesomeness of Qigong again, but he roared about how to make excuses first.
