Episode 436. Training (3)
“Argument?”

While Yuri was asking questions, her friends who had been lying around also sat up.

They too were curious about what the argument was about.

May opened her mouth as the audience’s gaze poured on her.

“If you translate it literally, it means to resolve the fight and discuss it.”

“Arguing? Oh? If you’re into picking fights with your mouth, that’s my specialty, isn’t it?”

“… That’s not it, you’re just verbalizing the attack you want to make.”

“ok?”

“For example, you hear an attack that I’m talking about, think about how you’re going to counter it, and say it out loud. Then I hear that and say back what I’m going to do. This kind of continuous speaking is called argumentation.”

“hmm…….”

“But the important thing is that all of this must be something you can actually do.”

“I just pulled out something like an incarnation and attacked… That’s not right.”

“That’s it.”

After hearing the explanation, Yuri’s expression changed to a slightly suspicious one.

“Does that make sense?”

You’re not even fighting directly, you’re fighting with your mouth.

What on earth does this mean?

And this was true not only for Yuri, but also for other friends around her.

They also looked half-doubting whether the argument May had mentioned would be of any use.

Only Julia had an interesting look in her eyes.

May smiled at the slightly indifferent reactions from those around her.

“Would you like to give it a try?”

“Well, I guess so.”

“I’ll start first. Let’s assume we’re 10 meters apart.”

Yuri nodded as if it was no big deal.

After that, May started talking quickly.

“Run 8m 30cm in 0.6 seconds. Stand 15 degrees in front of you and stab your heart, right shoulder, and right eye in that order for 0.1 seconds.”

The corners of Yuri’s mouth slightly curled up at May’s explanation.

‘Is this what it’s like?’

The length of the weapon you have.

The speed at which you can achieve it.

In addition to that, there are power, position, etc.

It is the act of expressing with words the exact number of strokes you can draw.

That was the gist of the ‘argument’ May was talking about.

Yuri, who understood the general method, responded quickly.

“After stepping back 30cm for 0.1 seconds, twist your body’s central axis 45 degrees and move forward 2m for 0.2 seconds, then immediately slash at your right wrist without any delay.”

“Straighten 360 degrees to the right. Grab the middle of the spear while rotating, and use the rotational force to strike your thigh. This takes 0.4 seconds.”

“Then I… … .”

Yuri counterattacks right away.

After that, May did not give up and continued to counterattack.

And the people in the audience who were quietly listening to this imagined Yuri and May quickly engaging in combat.

‘Oh my god! So that’s how you fight!’

‘This is… a fight that takes place in a realm of extreme pleasure that I cannot see.’

Every moment of the fight that would not have been allowed to be seen if Yuri and May had clashed directly.

Thanks to the two people arguing and explaining it in detail, I was able to vividly remember it.

The audience, knowing that just hearing the commentary on that high-level workshop was like a stroke of luck to them, concentrated on the debate so as not to miss a single word.

After that, the argument between Yuri and May easily went on for over 50 moves.

And as time passed, Yuri’s answers began to get a little slower.

At first, very little.

Next time, half a beat later.

Then one beat later.

Yuri’s expression hardened slightly as she answered more and more slowly.

He knew exactly why his response was delayed.

‘This is different from actual fighting.’

Fighting wasn’t just about thinking in your head and calculating numbers.

There were fights where you could predict the numbers and create the situation, but there were also times when you had to rely on your instincts.

And in fact, if you look closely, Yuri moved her body more based on instinct than thinking about numbers and moving her body.

This tendency becomes more evident as the level of realm increases, rather than when the level of realm is low.

It was inevitable to continue the fight in the realm of extreme pleasure.

‘If you think and then act, it’s too late.’

In the realm of extreme pleasure, there was very little room to look at the situation and think of numbers.

Only by making decisions based on your senses rather than your head can you continue fighting in the realm of extreme pleasure.

Therefore, a fight in which sensory judgment and movement were completely excluded and only calculated numbers were the same as asking Yuri to fight while cutting off each limb.

‘I have been fighting relying so much on my senses.’

As I tried to deal with the moments that I used to feel with my senses in a calculated way, I could realize even more clearly how much I had relied on my senses.

Yuri’s response, which had been gradually slowing down, suddenly stopped completely.

May asked with a smile.

“How is it? Is it difficult?”

Yuri couldn’t help but admit it.

“Certainly… it’s not easy. Changing something sensory into something calculated.”

“People who have learned a martial art that focuses on speed like us tend to rely more on their senses. But that’s not a bad thing. There’s no need to correct it.”

“Then why are you doing this?”

“I’m telling you to change the order.”

Yuri asked back as if she didn’t quite understand.

“order?”

“It’s not about understanding what you’ve embodied, it’s about embodying what you’ve understood.”

When others hear May’s words, they make expressions as if they are wondering what she is talking about.

“ah!”

Yuri let out an exclamation.

‘That’s the sound.’

Until now, Yuri had primarily embodied it through fighting, and then understood it in her head later.

But in this argument, instinctive feelings were excluded, so I had to understand it with my head first.

Yuri tilted her head and asked, realizing what May meant.

“Is this the clue to reaching the realm of the divine sword?”

It was said that the divine sword could be obtained only after training one’s mind.

But what does this have to do with training the mind?

May’s smile deepened at Yuri’s question.

She asked in a calm voice.

“What do you think the new sword is?”

“Absolute power that comes from training your mind.”

“It seems like Uncle John didn’t teach you anything. Yes, that’s right. The divine sword can only be obtained after training your mind countless times. Then how should you train that mind?”

Yuri had been thinking about this problem for a long time, but she hadn’t been able to come up with a definite answer.

Of course, I already asked John.

He, whom I met in my dream, answered Yuri’s question like this.

“Worries… That’s what the old man, Yohan, told me?”

To think about it.

John said only that.

When I asked him what the hell he was talking about, he refused to explain, saying, “Considering what the worries I mentioned mean is also a form of training!”

May laughed bashfully at Yuri’s story.

“Haha, that was a very old man-like explanation.”

“Is this right? I feel like I’ve been scammed.”

“There are different explanations for how to train your mind. Thinking is what Uncle Yohan said.”

“Then what do you think, ma’am?”

“I think that training the mind…is what leads to enlightenment.”

“Hmm, enlightenment… … .”

May continued speaking, looking at Yuri, who was resting his chin on his arms.

“Whether small or big, shallow or deep. If you accumulate the enlightenment you have gained over and over again, one day, the accumulated enlightenment will become the steps for you to advance to the divine sword. That was the case for me too.”

“What if enlightenment doesn’t come?”

“You have to keep trying until you get there.”

“Isn’t that too vague an answer? Is there no method?”

“The best thing is to catch a glimpse of enlightenment from someone who has more enlightenment than you.”

“That’s the established theory.”

“It’s the right path. So, try to gain as much experience as possible.”

“Should I go around looking for someone stronger than me and spar with them?”

“That would be one way. But those who are stronger than you are not necessarily those who have accumulated a lot of enlightenment, and those who have achieved a lot are not necessarily strong.”

May paused for a moment and looked around.

Children listening to their own stories with their ears pricked up.

Someday, those children will reach the level that Yuri is at now.

Hoping it would be helpful, she continued speaking calmly so everyone could hear.

“Someone weaker than you, or someone who has not mastered the art of magic, may have more enlightenment than you, or may have the enlightenment you need.”

“… … .”

“Because the self that attains enlightenment is different for everyone, individual enlightenment is not universal. So, try to experience as much as possible. Fighting against the strong is good, and fighting against the weak is good. If you reflect on the experiences you gain in that way… enlightenment will surely come to you someday.”

May patted Yuri on the shoulder.

“They say that debate is one of the ways I have gained enlightenment. So, you too, think about it and think about it. What kind of enlightenment did I gain through this debate? And what kind of enlightenment can you gain from it?”

Although she said that this was the way she achieved enlightenment, this method itself was the enlightenment she achieved.

He achieved enlightenment and devised a method of argumentation, through which he gained other enlightenment.

‘I told you how.’

Will Yuri be able to gain enlightenment through debate?

And if you do get something, will it be the same as the enlightenment you have gained?

There was nothing May could guarantee.

She just showed me how.

It will be up to Yuri to achieve something through this.

May clapped her hands and said, concluding:

“Okay, so everyone has had enough rest? Let’s start again.”

Those who had been lying down rose to their feet at the sound of her bright voice.

And then he started having a one-on-one duel with May.

Meanwhile, Yuri was watching the scene from afar.

Exclamations flowed from his lips.

“…Wow, is this what a true educator is like?”

Despite her poor health, May treats each person one-on-one without showing any sign of displeasure or difficulty.

Yuri’s eyes showed that she had experienced a new world, which was quite different from John’s teachings, where fists came before words and a club came before fists.

Yuri, who was watching May teach her so lovingly, muttered softly.

“It doesn’t suit me very well.”

After all, he was more familiar with John’s method.

And that afternoon.

“… That’s what they said.”

When Yuri confessed the advice… no, the lessons she had heard from May, Do-cheol, who had been quietly listening, looked at her in disbelief.

“… So what does that have to do with what you’re doing here now?”

“I thought about it?”

“what?”

“Is that really the right amount? Sometimes, going your own way can be a shortcut, right?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

“You never know. If it’s a place or environment where you’ve often had enlightenment, maybe you’ll have it again.”

“… I don’t know much, but was enlightenment originally about getting on the throne?”

Yuri simply ignored Do-cheol’s question and continued to say what she wanted to say.

“But when I think about it carefully, the places where I mostly gained enlightenment were near a blacksmith shop or a furnace?”

“…where?”

“Near a blacksmith shop or furnace.”

“You got enlightenment there?”

“huh.”

“What kind of enlightenment does a swordsman gain near a blacksmith’s shop or a furnace?”

“Any insight on how to become better at swordsmanship?”

Yuri ignored Do-cheol’s eyes, which were getting narrower and narrower, and continued speaking.

“Anyway, for that reason, I’m here, hoping that some kind of enlightenment will come to me.”

“… … .”

Do-cheol stares at Yuri, who is confidently revealing that he came to use a trick rather than a level… no, he came to use a trick.

The meaning in those eyes was clearly ‘If you live long enough, you’ll see all kinds of crazy people.’
