History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 13
13fury. shabby way of thinking (2)
“A sad way of thinking. Please teach me that. Even if this happens, I will continue to turn away.?”
“…….”
Javiel paused..
I opened my eyes without realizing it..
It had to be that way..
Master, who is just an object of his own guard..
Because words that could never come out of the mouth of such a person came out..
‘You know my mana practice? Lloyd?’
I couldn't understand.
As was the case with insomnia, this practice was also his own secret..
Of course I never told anyone..
I never even showed it off.
No, it was only a month ago that it was even named ‘Asurahan Practice’.!
‘It's a practice that hasn't been perfected yet. How do you know that??’
Is this idiot using mind reading?.
He looked at Lloyd as if he were encountering a mysterious being..
Lloyd snorted..
“what. why. what.”
“…….”
“Why are you looking at me with your eyes open like that?.”
“Of course…….”
“of course?”
“How did you know??”
He was a person who always revealed the things he had been hiding..
If you try to turn away, all you get in return is ridicule..
Javiel, who now knew that, didn't bother to explain it..
Instead, I wanted to know the secret(?).
The answer that came back was simple.
“He said it all in his sleep.”
“yes?”
“Really. He fainted and told me everything himself.?”
“is that true?”
“huh.”
Lloyd grinned..
actually?
Of course not.
perfect gurada.
There was no such thing as sleep-talking with Javiel..
He must have been a man with an elegant appearance. Even his sleeping appearance was like a painting..
Lloyd smeared saliva on his lips and conscience..
“If you don't believe me, prove it to me?”
“Proof?”
“For example, something like this.”
The shady mental method described in detail in the novel ‘Steel-Blooded Knight’.
I remembered the contents and recited them..
“There is a limit to human manaheart. Biological limitations set at birth. So there is a limit to the amount of mana that can be mobilized at once..”
It was like a computer's RAM or a water bucket..
8There is a clear limit to the amount of data that can be carried at once with a gigabyte of RAM..
1The limit to the amount of water that can be transferred in a liter capacity bucket at one time is 1 liter..
The amount of mana that a human can move with his heart was the same..
There was a limit as big as the heart.
As long as I was human, I couldn't break through that limit..
“No one can be an exception to that. No matter how strong a swordsman or knight has reached the highest level. The reason is simple. Because he was born as a human. The human body, or more precisely, the human heart, cannot exceed the limits of its biological capacity. So the dragon with Dragon Heart is a fraud..”
“that…….”
“Shh. Listen more. So you thought. What if mana is drawn from outside the body rather than from inside the body? What if you add the mana absorbed from the outside environment to your Mana Heart? Then, wouldn't it be possible to emit and manipulate mana that exceeds biological limits, even if only temporarily?.”
Lloyd grinned..
Habiel still looks calm and chic.
But he didn't miss the faint earthquake in his pupils..
“After that, you secretly researched new ways to use mana. Not long ago, we even gave it a name. It's a shabby way of thinking. Was that about a month ago? that's right?”
“……you're right.”
“For some reason, he readily admits it.?”
“Because you didn't make a single mistake to the point where I wouldn't even think about making a mistake..”
“yes? So, shall we take the story back to the beginning?.”
This is what I want to say.
“You let go of such a cruel attitude, huh? Did you teach me the ordinary exercises that both dogs and cows learn, and then try to wipe my mouth? Are you by any chance the swordsmanship teacher of the Haetnim class in kindergarten? They were trying to sell bungeoppang without red beans.?”
“But Lloyd.”
“know. This is the mental method you have studied and you do not carelessly teach it to others. But that's it. Am I ‘just anyone’ to you??”
“yes.”
“omg.”
“Strictly speaking, Lloyd is just an escort to me. furthermore-”
“furthermore?”
“Even if I wanted to teach Lloyd how to think, it's impossible right now..”
“why?”
“Because it is still unfinished..”
Javiel's voice became as firm as a knife..
“The concept of my mind law that Lloyd mentioned is correct. The key is to absorb external mana and use it as your own. However, it is also a method that no one has succeeded in yet. Even I have only made up theories and have not yet succeeded in practice..”
“so?”
“It's dangerous. This is especially true if you are a beginner like Lloyd who does not even know the basics of mana..”
“Yeah?”
“yes.”
“You're worried about me now?”
“Of course not.”
“Tsk. A guy like a pumpkin.”
“thank you.”
“Anyway, you can't tell me because the mind law is still unfinished and dangerous.?”
“That's right.”
“So what are you going to do when it's no longer dangerous??”
“……yes?”
Javiel's eyebrows twitched slightly..
Lloyd chuckled..
I guess you're anxious about what else this side will talk about..
“Let’s find out why your mind is unfinished and where it is blocked.?”
“what to say…….”
“Absorb mana from outside. Move to Manahat. From there, fuse it with your own mana that was originally in your body. But it doesn't work. It always gets stuck there. Trying to fuse, they repel and collide. So I failed again and again. Right?”
Javiel's eyes wavered..
“how do you do that?”
“How long. I told you. I heard it all in my sleep?”
“…….”
A lie that I heard in my sleep.
Javiel's mouth fell silent in front of that invincible, cheat-like magic excuse..
Lloyd's smile grew deeper..
‘I guess I have nothing to say. A person who falls asleep so soundly that he faints probably has no way of knowing what his sleeping habits are like..’
Suddenly, the contents of the novel Iron Blood Knight came to mind..
During this period, Javiel was actually unable to complete his meditation due to the mana conflict phenomenon..
I tried various things but failed every time..
‘Then, it was five years later that he finally changed his idea and completed the mind method..’
Afterwards, Haviel further refines the completed meditation technique..
Finally, he reaches the level of Grand Master for the first time in the history of the Laurasia continent..
This is the change in idea that Habiel will achieve only 5 years later..
Lloyd said, remembering that.
“It seems to me that the attempt to mix external mana with one's own mana is an error, no, a mistake.?”
“yes?”
Javiel's eyebrows twitched and moved..
“What do you mean.”
“Literally. Why do I have to cram external mana into the Mana Heart? Because of the capacity limit of Mana Heart, it puts a strain on the heart. Besides, is there any reason to go to the trouble of mixing external mana with your own mana? That's not a stereotype tied to the existing method of operating Mana Heart.?”
“Those words are…….”
“You can turn it outside. Outside of Manahat.”
“…….”
Haviel's eyes slowly widen in astonishment..
If I tell you this much, you will already understand the general idea..
Lloyd picked up a tree branch that was rolling around in the corner of the training ground..
I drew a picture on the dirt floor with a tree branch..
“What if you absorb external mana? What would it be like to rotate it like this? To the outside of the heart, manahat.”
“Are you telling me to make a ring-shaped circle and surround the heart??”
“yes. Circle. The name sounds good too.”
“Then, the mana of the body that was originally possessed…….”
“There's no need to mix it. It is operated separately. My mana is inside the mana heart. The foreign mana absorbed from outside is rotated in a circle shape outside the mana heart. how?”
“…….”
“Did I just say whatever came to mind? As you know, I am a beginner in mana management. Maybe that's why I'm not caught up in stereotypes..”
“…….”
“If in doubt, try it yourself.”
“All right.”
Javiel nodded immediately..
As expected, I felt like I got the hang of it..
From then on, Lloyd didn't dare open his mouth..
I just quietly took a few steps to the side..
I quietly watched as Haviel tested a new mental method..
How long has it been like that?.
Javiel finally opened his eyes..
I looked back with meaningful eyes..
“thank you.”
Ding dong.
[Javiel Asrahan's affinity for you has increased by +5..]
[Current relationship with Javiel Asrahan : -22]
[Obtained 90 RP by visibly improving relationships with key characters.]
[RP you currently own : 187]
[The intimacy level with Javiel Asrahan has been increased from to.]
[An additional 5 RP was obtained as a bonus for increasing the intimacy level..]
[RP you currently own : 192]
‘It was successful..’
Javiel's Gratitude.
A slightly different look.
And Lloyd was confident as he saw the favorability message that appeared before his eyes..
Javiel has finally completed his shady way of thinking..
“Did it go well??”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“Did the circle run well??”
“yes. The use of absorbed mana seemed to be inefficient with just one, so I made several..”
“certain?”
“There are three.”
“omg.”
A triple circle right after the first success..
Javiel was, after all, a bastard..
‘So now we're almost at the level where the Sword Master is right in front of us..’
Haviel's current level is Sword Expert Advanced..
The gap with Sword Master is still quite large..
‘Still, since a triple circle has been created outside of Mana Heart, it will be enough to seriously compete even if you fight head-on with a decent Sword Master. If you're lucky, you might be able to aim for a draw..’
Giving additional power beyond the current level.
That was the strength of Asrahan’s mind..
‘This is because mana from outside is added to the original mana management ability. It's like installing one auxiliary engine per circle..’
Then, in the original Iron Blood Knight, Haviel?
Completed the Asrahan Mind Technique in Sword Master status..
Immediately, a whopping 4 quadra circles were achieved..
With that alone, he gained overwhelming skill over all sword masters..
‘Even after that, he became a Grandmaster and was equipped with 5 Penta Circles. In the final battle, he surpassed that and became the holder of a whopping 6 hexa circles..’
The novel described that in that state, the amount of mana used by Haviel at once far exceeded that of Dragonheart..
Now, he had witnessed the moment of completion of the shady mental method that was the beginning of the legend, five years earlier than the original..
But Lloyd quickly shook his head..
Now is not the time for penny-pinching sentimentality..
It was time to seize the gains that came within reach..
He asked Javiel condescendingly..
“So thank you?”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“So now you have a reason to teach me..”
“yes?”
“shabby way of thinking.”
“…….”
“Uh-huh, see this? Could it be that you were trying to just say thank you and move on??”
“But Lloyd.”
“huh. Make an excuse.”
“I think the basics of basic mana practice are more important..”
“huh. so?”
“So, how about learning the basic exercises first and then learning the mind techniques separately?.”
“huh. no.”
Of course it shouldn't be possible..
It was even more so when I had to face a duel with Lord Neumann in just fifteen days..
“You should think about it from my perspective. No matter how hard I learn the basic Mana exercises, will I be able to use them in a duel in 15 days??”
“I don't think that's the case.”
“then? Just lose the duel.?”
“…….”
“okay. I know what you're thinking. I guess it means looking at it longer term than just the small defeat right now. I guess it's beneficial to build a solid foundation. That's right. But that's it. I don't think that's right for me..”
“Why??”
“Because this duel is that important.”
It's true.
Sir Neumann is a man who has already betrayed the territory through his back..
If you can't put a bastard like that down, the task of correcting the discipline of the territory will become very difficult in the future..
Yeong-ji's plan to improve his constitution, which required him to use a straw for the rest of his life, was going awry from the beginning..
“So I will definitely win. I will definitely learn how to think well..”
“But what if I refuse??”
“Oh my? Are you going to come out strong? Then I have a way too.”
Lloyd grinned..
I took out my own special card..
“If you don't teach me how to think, I will stop providing lullaby services..”
“…….”
“what. why. what. Why are you looking at me with that shit-chewing expression? I'm being rude?”
“A little bit.”
“There is nothing free in this world. If you feel unfair, please tell me the law..”
“…….”
Javiel's face was immersed in agony..
The corners of Lloyd's mouth turned up with a grin..
‘You will never be able to refuse it. Why? 'Cause you've already learned the taste of a good night's sleep.’
In the past few days, Javiel has been enjoying a sound sleep like never before..
It was thanks to this side reciting the contents of the major book from memory..
But the service(?) is cut off in an instant..
My heart must have been quite pounding..
‘That's how human psychology is. If you receive it and then lose it, it becomes more regrettable and bitter..’
Everyone is like that.
Once you taste convenience, you will hardly be able to live without it..
‘Once you try a smartphone, you can't use a feature phone because it's frustrating. The same goes for robot vacuum cleaners, height-raising insoles, selfie apps, delivery apps, and elevators. If I stop using it, I feel so frustrated, uncomfortable, and empty..’
That was exactly the case with Javiel now..
I had been suffering from insomnia for several years..
Then, thanks to this place, I learned the taste of a happy sleep..
It was like I had become a body that could no longer go back to how it was before..
As expected, Javiel nodded his head..
“Phew, I get it..”
“I understand, what?”
“I'll teach you the foolish way of thinking..”
“good decision.”
Lloyd clenched his fists..
‘So I bet, right? Your sword skills will all be mine.’
shabby way of thinking.
Now all that's left is to learn hard.
♣
Time passed quickly.
Meanwhile, training continued..
Basic physical strength has become stronger.
I devoted myself even more to the shabby way of thinking..
On the other hand, Lloyd also requested a blacksmith to make a special weapon..
“Made entirely of steel. Please keep the design as it is in this drawing..”
“Master Lloyd? This?”
“This is a drawing I drew myself because it is the weapon I will be using. why? Strange?”
“That's not it. But how can this be used as a weapon?…….”
“That's it. You can make it?”
“yes? yep.”
“Then please take care of me.”
The blacksmith was perplexed as he looked at the drawing handed to him by Lloyd..
Looking at the blueprint this way and that, this was not something to be used as a weapon..
But I couldn't help it.
He was the son of a lord and had a reputation for being a badass..
The blacksmith didn't have the courage to complain about such a person's request..
A few more days passed like that..
The morning of the duel finally dawned..
“Master Lloyd. The item you requested from the blacksmith has arrived..”
The weapon requested to be manufactured has been delivered to the mansion..
Lloyd clenched his fists as he listened to the servant's voice announcing the news..
shabby way of thinking.
And even your own weapon.
With this, everything is ready..
‘Lord Neumann, you are behind now..’
Lloyd's eyes flashed fiercely..
Finally, the time has come to nip the rotten buds..
