“So, Olivia was trying to keep her vigilant, so she purposely kept the blood out?”

“That’s right. They wouldn’t welcome me for a while, so I left it as a last resort.”

“Not bad, but not good either.”

Vincent clenched his chin and answered with a grim expression.

“If it’s a good thing, everyone will know, so it’s a pointless question. Let me tell you about the downsides of this strategy.”

“It doesn’t work unless the other person is vigilant.”

“That’s a cliche answer. There is no one in the world who is not vigilant. Let’s approach it in a different way.”

“I think the fundamental strategy itself is wrong.”

Others showed a reaction that they did not understand, but Vincent raised his eyebrows as if he was starting to get a little interested.

“Listen once.”

“If it were me, I would have used a gun instead of a sword. I don’t even use swordsmanship. The blood will just make her chase Olivia.”

“Are you going to give up close combat completely and go all-in to check?”

“Yeah, just because you’re wielding a sword doesn’t mean you can win melee against Olivia anyway. It’s better to maximize certain stats than to become a half-hearted all-rounder.”

Versatile?

In theory, that would be fine.

The problem is that in practice, it is impossible to extract all the limits of all abilities.

In a one-on-one situation, depending on the characteristics of the opponent, discarded abilities are bound to occur.

“I know what you mean, but it may not be what I understand, so let me explain in more detail. Giving up on swordsmanship is also something that is difficult to understand in general.”

“Swordsmanship is a skill that requires a lot of nerve distribution. Of course, blood is very useful in a battlefield full of resources, but it is not very effective in a situation where resources are limited like now. Rather, it is only a factor that undermines his direct combat ability.”

“I agree on that. But, if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better not to use blood? What are you making me chase you for?”

“It’s just something to be concerned about. If you don’t care at all, you never know when you will attack with blood, and if you keep being conscious, the gun is annoying.”

“But I don’t think Olivia will get shot very often.”

“If it’s a firearm that uses energy bombs, you can’t fight it out altogether. The power may decrease, but the bullet velocity is much faster.”

Since the novel itself is a futuristic background, there were many types of weapons that were quite unusual in this world, which are hard to find in modern society.

Firearms that use energy bombs that I just mentioned are one of the representative examples of such weapons.

“It’s an energy bomb… It’s not a very popular weapon, but it’s a preferred weapon for some enthusiasts. Less overheating and higher accuracy. But it’s a weapon with a lot of decisive power, so how do you plan to win?”

“Decision power is irrelevant. I’m trying to burn out Olivia.”

“There will be no ring out or chrono limit, and I am thinking of playing tag. It will be a dress-up match for those who see it, but if it’s just a strategy for winning, it’s not bad.”

“Yes, it is. Of course, performance is important to leave a strong impression on people, but it’s not more important than victory.”

They talked hard about this and that, but most of them were meaningless.

After all, there is no definite answer to this question.

It’s a game where the outcome can change according to Olivia’s will, but how you solve the battle doesn’t matter.

However, others seemed to understand, whether my story was plausible or not.

“It’s a method that isn’t fun at all, but the opinion itself is persuasive.”

“Still, I don’t. I’d rather die as a real man than to be gay.”

“I am not very good at judging. Because it’s way too different from what I’m aiming for. But, I respect your ideas.”

This was a pretty good response.

Vincent was also nodding his head, as if it wasn’t too bad.

“Well, how you solve it is entirely up to you. There is no such thing as an answer However, what I sympathized with among Park Seong-jin’s comments was that ‘It is better to be a specialist than to become a half-hearted all-rounder, to boldly throw away the abilities to be discarded’. Of course, this is also a continuation of judgment. Sometimes there are situations where versatility is important.”

thank god.

I wondered what would happen if a guy who caught even the slightest bit of teasing appeared, but I didn’t see anyone like that.

“Anyway, let’s end the lecture here soon. The rest of the time is free to use. Anyone who wants to go out can go. Whether you go out to play or go to the dormitory, do whatever you want.”

I envy you that I can go play.

The only places I can go to are the training ground and the dormitory.

No, strictly speaking, it’s just a training ground.

My turn will come soon, and I don’t have time to play around in the dormitory for a good sale.

It is undoubtedly true that my skills have improved remarkably, but that was only my personal impression to the end, and from an objective point of view, it was still only a poor level.

If I had to show something on my turn, even a little, I would be less offended.

It seemed like it was time to experiment with the technologies that he had only imagined in his head.

Yes, most of them are just imitations of what they saw.

First of all, the first technique to try is the most basic technique, tightrope walking.

It’s not the tightrope that the acrobats show, but the one shown by Tarzan in the movie, where you jump from the line you’re holding on to and move on to the next line.

To be honest, the reason I had to practice this even though it was a really insignificant skill was because my proficiency was too low.

At least, it should be enough to be able to freely roam even complex terrain like the city center.

Above all, it is a skill that must be mastered in order to show proper grappling.

So, let’s create objects.

[Setting is complete.]

Tall buildings appeared and began to form a dense forest.

The location where I was standing was also changed to the roof of the building.

I’m afraid to try again.

In the world of holograms in the training room, I know that no matter how high you fall, you won’t get hurt, but it still felt so real, so I didn’t dare jump down.

I’ll have to do it eventually though.

After taking a deep breath, I ran towards the railing.

And, as soon as her foot fell off the ground, she immediately shot a thread and wrapped it around the corner of another building.

The body draws arcs and gently passes between buildings.

I was wondering what to do if something like a broken line happened, but fortunately, that didn’t happen.

I can let my mind go

He imprinted this sensation on his body, repeating the same movement over and over again.

As it turned out, two hours had passed.

With that said, it looks like you’ve done enough grappling practice, now it’s time to try a whole new realm.

The second technique to practice is vibration sensing.

There was nothing to use it because I had never fought an Awakener who used the stealth ability as the core, but there was nothing wrong with practicing beforehand.

Awakeners with stealth-type abilities are scattered everywhere, both inside and outside Trinity Academy.

Besides, even if an Awoken person with that ability doesn’t appear, it’s helpful enough to be able to figure out the opponent’s location.

So, shall we prepare an environment to practice vibration detection?

[Preferences, drizzle. Settings are complete.]

Drops of water hang over the threads hanging here and there.

I tried to master that feeling as much as possible, but it wasn’t easy as it was my first time.

No, it would be right to say that it is difficult to leave the first one.

Is it too much to say that you feel the vibrations of the rags on the thread?

Naturally, it was a technique that would not even be attempted if this excellent body hadn’t been able to support it.

Still, if you learn vibration detection, you’ll be able to use it for a long time, so I didn’t stop training.

It took me quite a while to realize that it wasn’t something I could succeed in just practicing for a day or two.

As I was drenched in the rain and pretending to be a drowning mouse, I felt nothing at my fingertips.

Beings such as superhumans and mutants appearing in fantasy even sense the flow of air, but I wonder if fantasy is just fantasy.

Let’s move on to the next training.

The last skill to practice is grounding.

It’s just a skill that sticks to the wall, but it’s surprisingly difficult to master.

You can maintain the grounding state for a long time only if you have a good posture that does not lose balance while securing sufficient friction.

In addition, considering that there are quite a few types of parkour climbing techniques and rock climbing techniques, and these techniques can be interconnected, it is not a technique that can be learned quickly.

It would be a lot easier than detecting vibrations, whatever it is.

First, he climbed up one of the many buildings using grappling.

Then he jumped to the other wall and reached out to the bumps and corners that he could hold onto.

How did you succeed?

Anyway, it was only a success in ‘cat lip’, which is the basic technique among the basics.

In this state, it would be great if the technique of kicking a wall and moving to another wall, ‘Cat to Cat’, could be achieved all at once, but it would be difficult.

First of all, the time is running out and the training ground is running out of time.

Finally, I started to correct my posture by looking back at the recordings of what I had practiced so far.

Fortunately, there was no such thing as a bad posture that could not be saved, so no major corrections were needed.

That’s a good achievement.

I thought that if I could maintain this growth tempo, I might be able to get good grades in the midterm exam.

Now I have to go back and rest well, and make a promise for tomorrow.

As usual, the bed in the dorm took me to dreamland with ease.
