chapter 132
132 – How to Fight All Ills
“So in the end, you were cutting down white people against these guys until I came back?”
“Yes… It just so happened to be like that…”
“.. Haha! You’re a really pleasant guy too!”
The training room of a martial arts training club.
Professor Casimes held his stomach and burst into laughter as if he was delighted to see the mountain of people piled up in one corner.
I, who was quite exhausted, laughed bitterly.
‘I think I defeated not a hundred people, but at least three times that number…’
If you count the people who knocked him down later and came to their senses and attacked again, they must have sparred at least 500 times.
Well, thanks to that, I was able to experience a variety of sword techniques, and the level of 〈 Sword 〉, which had not been increasing from LV7, went up this time.
‘kk… ‘. Even though there were no 3rd graders outside because it was a time when they went out, I never thought they would be undefeated against the entire club… This guy is quite a nan b*stard too.’
Professor Casimes looked at Lee Sun-woo, who was wiping sweat from his tired face next to him, as if it were amusing, and clapped loudly, waking up the students who had fainted.
“You b*stards! Stop sleeping and wake up quickly! The guy who single-handedly defeated all of you is still standing, aren’t you embarrassed? I’ll invite the guy who didn’t wake up right now to my special mental training !”
“Wow!!! You can’t cliff climb bare-body for 24 hours eeh–!!!”
“10 hours of endless sparring in underwear in a glacier area is going to kill you! This time, you’re going to die for real!!!”
“Hey… ! Now please watch me climbing a waterfall with my arms and legs tied!!!”
The students who had fainted at the sound of Casimes’ shout rose up in unison and immediately began to run away.
Looking at that, Professor Casimes pursed his lips in disappointment.
“… Tsk. It’s been a while since I wanted to do this… Anyway, they’re so harsh about something that’s a little difficult.”
“…Early, Friday?
What does a little mean… ?
When I was seriously questioning the meaning of a little.
Professor Casimes turned to me and asked.
“By the way, you said you were looking for me, right? Do you have any business?”
At that question, I quickly came back to my senses and asked Professor Casimes.
“Professor. Do you remember that from the first class? It means that if you hit the professor, he will do you a favor within his capabilities.”
“Huh? … Ah! I remember. I completely forgot about it because we didn’t say anything for a while.”
Professor Cassimes nodded his head as if he remembered and glanced at me.
“When you talk like this, it looks like you have something to ask me.”
“Yes, there is.”
“Then what is your request?”
At those words, I met Professor Casimes’ gaze and spoke seriously.
“Please pass on to me Professor Casimes’s ──〈 How to Fight 20,000 Diseases.”
******
〈The method of fighting all diseases, the method of combating evil spirits〉
It is a kind of ‘unique’ skill that can only be obtained by meeting certain special conditions, and it is a function mainly used by the character I raised for the first and last time.
‘It is a function that is extremely difficult to acquire, to the point where it is almost impossible to acquire unless you create a character optimized for this function from the beginning.’
However, after solving all the difficult problems, the ability of 〈00,000 Combat Technique 〉 that could be acquired was very simple and powerful.
It allows you to handle ‘all weapons’ at the level of 〈0000 Combat Technique LV○-1〉.
To give an example to make it easier to understand, the mercenary character I raised had LV10〉.
The character was able to handle a spear, an axe, any abnormal weapon, even a weapon he was holding for the first time, at a level of ‘〈LV9〉’.
‘It was a very useful feature that allowed you to freely switch weapons depending on the enemy you were dealing with, allowing you to always fight with an advantageous compatibility.’
〈The ability to respond to all weather from far, medium, and close range using the 〉 method of fighting against all kinds of diseases was one of the fundamentals that allowed my character to survive until the very end.
Going back to the story, in order to learn a panacea, you must go through a total of three steps.
First, acquisition of at least ‘seven types’ of weapon skills.
Second. The total level of all weapon skills must exceed ’50’.
Lastly, after meeting those two conditions, ask to learn from Professor Casimes, who has built up a certain level of favorability.
That’s how to learn the 〈 Man-Army Fighting Method 〉 from the strategy book.
‘Well, instead of Casimes’ teaches, there is a hidden way to learn by reading a ‘mysterious old book torn in half’ that exists somewhere on the continent.’
This is how my mercenary character learned how to fight all diseases. Strangely enough, it wasn’t listed in the strategy book…
Anyway, back to the conditions for learning the cure-all method.
The time it takes to acquire weapon skills at level 〈LV4〉 without talent characteristics such as 〈 Brilliant (B) 〉, 〈 Nobleman (A) 〉, or 〈 Genius (S) 〉 is about ‘half a year’.
Taking that into account, you will be able to see how much of a devil it is to achieve the conditions of 〈Mandarin Fighting Method 〉.
“Hmm… You are still not qualified to learn the 〈 method of fighting all diseases.”
Of course, I haven’t met the conditions yet.
So, even if you ask Professor Casimes to learn right now, it is normal for him to not be able to learn how to fight all diseases because he is not qualified yet…
‘That was back when it was a game with no flexibility at all.’
If it is a free reality, it is a different story.
“──But! I can’t make the words I said myself lie! So, I will personally provide you with special 1:1 training until you learn how to fight all diseases!”
Good! It went as planned!
I followed Professor Casimes with a satisfied face as he said he would start right away and moved to another place.
******
“From now on, you will change your body in one to ten ways!”
Those were the first words Professor Casimes spoke after arriving at the personal training center.
What. Are you saying that you are going to separate my bones and flesh with those big hands and then reassemble them?
Professor Casimes quickly continued his next words, as if that feeling could be seen on my face his.
“Hmm. That was a bit misleading. The term ‘remodeling’ is not wrong at all, but to be exact, it means tuning the muscles of your entire body to optimize your body for the 〈 〉 method of fighting all diseases.”
“Coordination?”
“Yes. Do you know this saying? The trained body of a warrior speaks more eloquently of the warrior’s martial arts than anything else.”
Professor Casimes spoke while pulsating the muscles of his entire body.
“If you train a martial art for several years, the muscles of your entire body will naturally develop to suit the martial art. In fact, an experienced warrior can guess the weapon an opponent is using just by looking at the shape of his or her Going further than that, There are also people who can even find out the type of martial arts used, such as whether the opponent uses a quick sword or a strong sword. Well, a warrior who can even see the latter is a strong sword. Person whose name is known wherever he goes.”
The old warrior, who is at least one of the ten most famous among warriors across the continent, and who is still strong despite being over 200 years old, laughed mischievously.
“To give a simple example, let’s say there is a warrior who has trained in swordsmanship for decades. The warrior’s greatsword skills can be brought out by more than 120%. However, even if the warrior gains the same proficiency in swordsmanship as the swordsmanship he has been training with, Do you think you will be able to bring out more than 120% of your short sword skills, the same as your great sword skills?”
“Well, I guess that’s too much, right?”
“That’s right. It would be fortunate if you could pull out 60%, let alone 120%. Even though the types of swordsmanship are different, there is a big difference in efficiency depending on the muscles. Moreover, in order to learn the panacea of handling all weapons as if they were your own, you need to use an ordinary sword. It can never be done with the body.”
So you said you were going to modify your body…
“Then… How does body modification work?”
“It’s training.”
“… Yes?”
“It’s called training. It’s training muscles that involves endlessly swinging various types of weapons to rupture the existing muscles and then rebuilding suitable for fighting all diseases.”
Professor Casimes calmly says that he will destroy every muscle in my body.
I broke into a cold sweat, wondering if the choice of learning how to fight all diseases was really the right one.
“Now, wear this.”
At that time. Professor Casimes threw a pair of tops and bottoms at me.
A very thin white short-sleeved shirt and shorts that stick to the skin.
“Change into it and try out every form of swordsmanship you can perform. We need to look at exactly what your body is like now and plan your future training in detail.”
“I understand.”
I quickly changed my clothes.
‘This is comfortable, but it’s a little embarrassing because it’s so sticky that you can see the texture of my muscles…’
In particular, my lower body was very embarrassing.
“Huh, really. This guy has a pretty face, but he’s raising a dragon underneath.”
Even if the man is the same as me, even if he is ten times my age, I hope you will stop looking down and admiring him.
Because I think I will reflexively use my five senses.
“Then let’s begin.”
Wanting to get out of this situation quickly, I quickly widened the distance and started swinging my sword.
Saaagh-!
A sword dance of steel that begins with the sound of cutting into the air.
Strongly, softly, sharply, fiercely, quickly, slowly, heavily, flashily.
Shows all the tricks that can be performed with a sword.
“Oh… Your skills have improved even more. The student’s level of swordsmanship is still not that high——huh?”
Cassimes, who was looking at it with admiration, looked puzzled for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and began to look at it seriously.
“Hmm… Huh… This is… Hoho…”
Professor Casimes looks at me and keeps spewing out meaningless phrases.
There was no one telling me to stop, so I kept swinging the sword, but the questions inside me continued to increase.
“Wait a minute. Stop your swordsmanship and just stand there.”
Professor Casimes stops me with a wave of his hand and approaches me.
Immediately, as if checking something, he raised his fingers and poked at the muscles of my entire body, including my arms, legs, thighs, back, shoulders, waist, etc., And then nodded and spoke to me as if he was convinced. . .
“You don’t need body modification procedures.”
“… Yes?”
“It means that your body is already ‘complete.’ And that too, ‘better than my body.'”
Professor Casimes looked at me with a curious expression, as if he was amazed as he spoke.
“Your body is capable of drawing more than 120% of all weapons, and is a perfect body with the ultimate golden ratio for a human being. If I were to give it a name… I would call it [Full Martial Arts Body].”
A body naturally capable of handling all types of weapons, so it is [A body with all martial arts skills]…
“I’ve often seen people born with a body optimized for one weapon, but I never thought there would be someone born with a body suited for all weapons. Even at this age, the world is always so amazing.”
“Is my body that special?”
“Yes. Of all the bodies I have ever seen, I would say that this is the most perfect human body. It would be more believable to say that someone ‘made’ it artificially. … No, you are actually an artificial life form that someone made. It’s not like that, is it?”
“Someone… Made… ?”
“Well, it is no exaggeration to say that creating a body like this artificially is a new business that literally requires cell-level manufacturing. Although it is an entirely unrealistic imagination! Haha!”
I didn’t show much of a reaction to Professor Casimes, who chuckled and said it was a joke.
Because suddenly a question came to mind.
───I wonder if ‘this body’ right now is really my original body.
‘When I woke up in this world, I didn’t feel any discomfort in my body. There was no abnormality in appearance.’
But what after ‘character synchronization’?
No, rather, the body ‘used’ for character synchronization is…
Mate-!
“Oh… ?”
The sudden sound of applause brings back the spirit that had been buried in thoughts.
“I don’t know why you’re so dazed all of a sudden, but come to your senses. We’ll start the next step right now.”
“Next… Step?”
“Yes. The first step, which I thought would take at least a year, was luckily skipped, so I have to start learning the next step, ‘Eighteen Ban Martial Arts’, right away.”
Saying that, Professor Casimes threw a spear he had pulled out from somewhere at me.
Chak-
I reflexively grabbed the flying spear and looked at it, and Professor Casimes smiled provocatively at me and said.
“The time it will take you to pass this stage is, in my estimation, about 2 years. How much can you shorten this period?”
… Indeed, Professor Casimes must have been an outstanding educator.
‘Even though I knew it was a provocation, it made me feel angry inside!’
Wow-
I threw away my wet worries and tightly grasped the window.
And declared.
“Half a year”
“Huh?”
“It will pass within the next six months.”
“…Haha! It looks big! But it’s arrogant. No matter how talented you are with a sword, it would work for other weapons as well…”
While passing along the words of Professor Casimes, who was smiling as if he were a maniac, I activated the ‘supernatural ability’ of [Cheonbyeon S], Which was unlocked not long ago when the proficiency level exceeded a certain level.
‘〈Characteristic conversion〉’
Tiring!
[Use 〈 attribute conversion 〉!「Target =「Swordsman Genius (S)」]
[Target is temporarily converted to characteristics of the same series!]
[The target’s rating is too high!]
[The grade of the attribute converted into a penalty will be lowered!}
[Temporarily, 「Characteristic: Swordsman Genius (S)」 Is converted to 「Characteristic: Spear Master (A)」!]
[Temporarily function: Learn 〈 spear skill LV3〉!]
Kuwoouk-
At that moment, the feeling of holding the spear changed.
Unlike before, which was somewhat awkward, it was a strange feeling of the spear stick sticking to the palm of my hand.
Whirlick-
As a test, I turned the spear with my finger and it rotated naturally as if I was playing with a pen.
I spoke calmly as I continued to rotate the window.
“Professor. Did I tell you earlier that you would pass within six months? “I will cancel that.”
“What?”
“Instead──”
Tak-
Hold the rotating spear pole with both hands and assume the pose.
It is a very stable posture that cannot be said of someone who has never learned spearmanship.
I declared again, aiming the spear at Professor Casimes, whose eyes widened in surprise.
“──I will pass within ‘one month’.”
