Chapter 19: Training Course (2)

Now he’s laughing……

“No no, I was surprised, wearing it . Shuya’s fighting moji……guidance moji really is a beginner, but I could be said you fighting moji is first class . ”

First class……

I’m certainly able to spread out my mana smoothly .

“But I acquired “knowledge” at the same time

“Oh, as expected, you learned the fighting moji type skill at the same time, but as for acquiring <Fighting Moji Knowledge>, all the same fighting moji is equal to a top class . Guidance moji is the same as an amateur, but really……the amplitude of the guy is enormous . (TL: amplitude could also be swing of pendulum; I think the author is trying to say MC’s range of abilities is huge . ) I think it’s related to performing the foundation of mana manipulation in precisely a month……what kind of classification is it?”

What kind of classification . After saying such a thing……

Is this a first-class kind?

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

I have the feeling that my body has surely adapted to “fighting moji”

Well, one possibility……

It may be thanks to <Cerebral Demon Speed> which was obtained with the extra skill <Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution> . Well, the moment I got that skill, a strange sense ran though my whole body from my brain stem . “Something” spreads throughout my whole body, the feeling of the neural net increasing to spread through every micro detail of my cells .

By any chance was that “something” mana?

Well, by that, did the foundation magic moving inside my body increase? Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

And I wonder if……after, common……

“……Image . It’s easy to make an image of fighting moji, yeah . ”

In old manga, games, anime, movies, novels……

I enjoyed various ones . Such an image is abundant .

“It’s easy to make the image, so I understand . Mana is controlled by a person’s own image . ……Then, concentrate your mana on your arm and try hitting the ground . ”

“Yes–”

I collect the mana in my right hand .

I cover my fingers with cold invigorating mana, hardening the joints .

From the fingers to the back of the hand and to the wrist I harden myself with mana .

In this condition, I try hitting the ground .

Nun!

In the ground a fist sized hole appeared .

“Amazing . ”

I’m surprised by myself .

“Nuo……that was so . Because from the start Shuya had high physical abilities from the vampire lineage, the hole appeared . Fighting moji seems to have increases the power even more……you can concentrate mana in one place that way to strengthen it . ……However, it may be more suitable for Strong Spear Style than Wind Spear Style……”

Shisho in conclusion absent-mindedly says something .

I look at both my palms wonderingly .

The back of the arm that penetrated the ground, it’s a little red .

Without fighting moji, blood would be flowing from my fist .

“This is fighting moji . ”

Shisho continued his pedantic explanation .

“Fighting moji is a moji that invigorates the inside of the body and strengthens the body . It’s effective not only for attacking but also for defense to some extent . However, although fighting moji concentrates mana in one place to protect the body, It’s not a match for something with a blade . The basis is living flesh, flesh and bones . The defense only rises so much . This is also true for attacks . A sharp weapon is more effective for a sword or spear . When the physical ability is high like Shuya’s, the story is different . Even fighting with fighting moji will work well enough as a weapon……”

Hand-to-hand fighting type ability .

“Then with fighting moji, is it a simple hand-to-hand fighting type?”

Achilles-shisho shakes his head left and right .

“No, it’s not simple . It may be called the “most important” in Moji . ”

Shisho tells me briskly and raises his index finger, emphasizing the importance .

‘What is it?”

“It varies, but……the first one . ‘Conditionally,’ but you’ll understand if you actually do it . Concentrate mana in your eyes using fighting moji and ‘look . '”

“Condition? In the eyes . I’ll try it . ”

Concentrate on my eyes……

“Maintain that condition, try looking at me……”

I collect mana in my eyes as I am told and look at Shisho .

……and, there are the numerous shining branches spreading out from Shisho’s body is it mana? But I caught sight of something happening .

It extends winding all around .

Surprising, but what are those……

The innumerable shining bands were connected to four swords like branches .

“Oh, as one would expect . You easily cleared the condition just now . Can you see my guidance moji?”

“Yes . Well, it’s amazing……”

“With this, the mechanism looks like I’m floating four swords, but you should have understood it clearly . The act of holding fighting moji in the eyes is called ‘Observing Eye’ and ‘Magic Observing Eye . '”

I listened to the explanation with using magic observing eye .

“The is magic observing eye……well, what was the ‘condition’?”

Shisho points at his eyes and says,

“The condition is ‘eyes . ’ Eyes that store mana and eyes don’t both exist . It’s said that there aren’t many people with these kind of eyes, but no one understands such a specific thing . It may increase now . I confronted someone with these magic observing eyes during my adventurer days, mostly it was ‘talent . '”

Eeh, eyes .

“I guess; these eyes are valuable or something?”

Achilles-shisho nods in agreement, explaining tangibly and begins demonstrating moving one’s own guidance moji “Light Band . ”

“–That’s right . They will be valuable . And, the mana I emitting outside is called ‘Guidance Moji Line and Magic Line . ’ If, you fight someone, but in the situation you’ve mastered the three Moji and are carrying a weapon and wearing armor, you can follow the movement of the magic lines . The reason I say that is that it’s obvious at a glance where mana is moving . Of course, when your opponent is a magic User you can see the structure of the magic . Furthermore, it can be used in place of <Night Vision> . Seeing a part of the source of magic, you can see the flow of mana which people and monsters use . With this, do you understand that this magic observing eye becomes extremely important?”

Certainly, it’s important that I know this information .

Know your enemy and know yourself I think it goes . The Art of War book it too great .

“Yes . ”

“Establishing this defensive and offensive moji is essential . It’s important to overcome what’s ahead . Fighting moji is considerably important . ”

The guidance moji type magic released like an aureole by Shisho’s body looks like a work of art . The gathered “shining bands,” look to be collected settled shining wings……

Incredible…

“That’s so . Now I understand . The greatness of shisho . ”

“Living for such a long time isn’t for show, and then, there’s one more important thing . Movement speed is increased when fighting moji is collected in the feet . It’s called ‘magic legs’ or ‘fighting magic legs . ’ It’s an important breathing technique in emergencies–”

Every single word that Shisho said, brought back memories of my child hood .

“One short moment of action . ”

Continuously holding my breath is okay at first, but it doesn’t follow .

‘With the cage style, without exception be sure to breathe while using all of the skills together . ’

And add a “tempo . ”

Achilles-shisho’s words overlaps with my grandfather’s in my previous life, echoing in my head .

When grandfather was still in good health……

Grandfather loved kendo . He called himself cressent style, and I was taken to a gymnasium and dojo frequently, though I cried being made to do kendo by force……

I didn’t last long; in the end I only did swimming .

Grandfather’s eyes were always earnest .

Achilles-shisho’s face doesn’t resemble the grandfather from my past life at all, but when the thing I see overlap I can see the same earnest look in his eyes .

So, I surely saw it .

I was a dull cowardly child at the time, it’s different now .

“What’s wrong?”

“Ah, yes . The tempo is important, timing, the interval changes . ”

Achilles-shisho fixes his eyes on me, and nods in admiration .

“Just like that . As expected, you’re quick to learn . I think I’m a little jealous . ”

“Eh? Shisho?”

I’m surprised . I look at Achilles-shisho’s eyes .

His eyes are serious . It doesn’t seem to be a joke .

“Isn’t that true? It’s because Shuya’s talent is staggering . Are there some irregular differences? But, such things are trivial . At any rate, the foundation itself is great . The ability like a great dragon as if reaching to the heavens . You had no trouble when the intensity of the 【Training Course】 increased, like a dry fish getting water, is because you absorb without sparing my techniques? Really, when you arrived here only a little more than two months ago……”

Great Isuparu？

I know what that is but he praised it .

“……It’s thanks to Shisho . Yasu!”

Without thinking, I bowed like in karate .

“Mm? What was that? Sono, that way of speaking to get fired up……Yasu!”

“Haha……”

I didn’t particularly do karate in my past life, but I have done some before .

“You definitely have talent, but……your guidance moji still has a way to go . From now on I’ll give priority to training your guidance moji . Fairy Moji is learned immediately if you master guidance moji . Even if I say that no one one has ever told me fairy moji is my strong point . ” (TL: Shisho isn’t that talented in fairy moji . )

Mm, there’s things you aren’t amazing at .

“When you say it’s not your forte, will different people have different strong points?”

Achilles-shiho, floating the short swords in the air with guidance moji, continues to talk normally .

“There are, but this can be said to be the result of preference . As for me, I study guidance moji because I enjoy it, it’s the result of continued use . It’s my forte now . ”

“It’s dependent on what I study, huh . Anyways, it’s discipline . ”

Achilles-shisho return to a strict expression, and adds .

“Exactly . At first improving the image, the light blue mana emission is useless . For now, aim at ‘colorless and transparent . ’ And then, make your image even longer and thinner . Hmm, let’s go back . Work on blacksmithing to make metal fittings and alchemy . ”

Emission……then colorless and transparent .

“……I understand . ”

It’s a series of failures afterwards .

The light blue mana emission doesn’t become transparent .

Again and again, I attempt it but don’t succeed .

Even once it was night it was still no good .

It was no good the next day or the day after that .

As could be expected, it seems to be reflected in my face, in addition to Raguren and Rabbi-san at dinnertime, Refaa treated me like she’s was about me .

Rollo two feelers on my cheeks too and continues sending affectionate feelings for a long time .

I stroked her back in return .

For a while I continued training guidance moji in this condition, but I didn’t make progress, on the following day, and again on the next day, my released mana didn’t becomes transparent .

As one would expect I became a little depressed .

Achilles-shisho isn’t bothered by it? It can’t be helped by being impatient?

And, encouraging me,

“Let’s train the spear a bit . ”

With such a feeling, in a hurry, for the first time I begin training the spear with a different intent .

I turn towards Achilles-shisho to perform a little form practice .

Each of us slowly moving our bodies, without aiming the spears at our bodies, stopping just before we hit .

The practice is fun as well as interesting .

The reason is the accuracy of the techniques becomes apparent from the slow movement of the body .

Various things, guidance moji doesn’t improve even after I train for one week, I didn’t do well, but because the things to do also increased I wasn’t so bothered .

That is, practicing riding the magic beast Popobumu .

Taking the opportunity to teach me while feeling it, Achilles-shisho told me it was time and I’m brought to the barn under the cliff .

“From today on, we’ll practice mounting Popobumu . First step on the saddle, This〜do it……”

“This?”

Rough and bumpy……

The sensation of mounting Popobumu’s saddle for the first time, a brief sense of uneasiness .

Feeling like mounting rock hard muscle under the feeling of the soft saddle, it is stiff and unstable .

“That’s right . After holding the reins leave the rest to Popobumu . ”

“Okay . ”

When I grasp the reins, a heavy bass sounds comes frmo Popobumu’s nostrils .

The sound of it breathing is a heavy bass sound bobu* is totally like the sound from a conch whistle, one step, one step, a foot was moved in a heavy manner .

The rock like muscles can be felt moving slowly under the saddle .

I’m surprised by the movement, it’s pleasantly, and the movement becomes habit .

“Only pull a little on the reins to stop . ”

“I see . ”

The day ends with just a walk .

I start practicing riding Popobumu and became able to run on the second day .

“Popobumu is smart . ” Can you whistle?”

“Yes . Pipipipi . ”

I comply with my simple special skill .

“I-is it the sound of a bird? If the whistle is blow simply, Popobumu will return even from faraway . You should remember this . ”

“Okay . I’ll remember . Then, we’ll run a little bit . ”

Accordingly, I speed up a little .

As a result of having continued riding Popobumu, I get hurt with a sore from my inner thigh to my bottom .

But, I recover immediately . Hey, it’s kosureta again!

My buuttt, it stings, fun ♪

Aaaah chaffiiiinnng, oretachi♪

I’m cold, suusuu, funfunfun♪ Butt huuurts .

I sing a strange song while humming a tune .

In addition, while I ride around, I cause a thigh sore, and recover . And, repeating this many times while riding around, I become accustomed to riding .

After about five days, as a result of repeated riding .

※Pikon※ ※<Magic Beast Riding> Skill Acquired※

I got magic beast riding .

While the guidance moji practice wasn’t going well, I was happy having acquired the enjoyable magic beast riding skill .

The handling of Popobumu progresses remarkably after that .

Even if I ride for a long time, the thigh sores stop happening, and the speed of running across the plateau has increased too . Run .

It became possible to turn without losing speed .

“You’re considerably accustomed now? It seems all right to guide the livestock . As it is rush over to the plateau belt over there . ”

With Achilles-shisho on Popobumu, I race to the plateau .

The wind feels good . It’s enjoyable to ride an animal like this .

Feeling the wind, taking in the smell of the plateau grass .

I run though the splendor of nature .

I think about nothing, simply dash across the plateau, the action becomes habit .

But for a moment, the music I heard in my previous life is played back in my head .

It’s simple, however I feel a small happiness even in this .

Coming to this other world was good .

When I return to the barn feeling better, the black cat Rollodinu jumped up energetically .

Placing herself on the back of Popobumu’s head, she calls “Nya, Nya!” in an excited voice .

Mewing as if to be picked up by me, hurry! Hurry! Is that what you’re saying?

There was no helping it in the hurried condition where Rollodinu was riding on the back of Popobumu’s head . The black cat Rollo seems delighted when I run a little, and then, comfortably she begins to cry out loud meow “Nya, Nyaa, Nya . ”

Using the feeler like a whip, she strikes it on Popobumu’s neck and……

“Hahaha, Divine Beast-sama, she is pleased . ”

Achilles-shiso was chasing from the side and laughing while watch Rollodinu .

Thus riding the magic beast Popobumu goes smoothly .

I ride around happily, without the important guidance moji going well, I continues the hard struggle the whole time .

With my mana as light blue as ever .

Aware of transparency, but it’s……
