As the level went up, Noah’s senses faded.
And by the 5th stage, all senses have completely disappeared.
‘already? I heard that the twins got up to level 10?’
The senses through the aura were blocked from the beginning.
View was completely blocked by closing the door.
As for hearing, at about the 4th stage, I could not even hear the beating of my heart.
At the fifth stage, I couldn’t even feel the touch of the hem of the clothes on my body.
‘I don’t know how I stand, or even if I’ve already been attacked or not… … .’
In an instant, Noah stepped back and dodged the flying arrow.
‘uh?’
there is no sense
Of course, he didn’t know whether he moved his body or not, or whether the arrow was flying.
But for some reason, I thought the arrow was flying, and I thought I moved my body to avoid it.
‘Is it an illusion?’
Perhaps the memory of dodging arrows until just before the senses disappeared remained and replayed like a dream.
‘I’m not sure if I really avoided it or not… … At least it’s certain that I didn’t get hurt.’
If Noah had been hit by an arrow, Theodore would have stopped training.
As long as this state continued, Noah had not yet been hit by an arrow.
‘The twin seniors said they passed this training at the age of nine. Then there’s no reason I can’t do it now.’
Noah thought he couldn’t feel it, but maybe that was an illusion.
The fact is that the senses are still alive, but the brain just doesn’t recognize them.
‘What if I just don’t recognize myself because I’m not used to my senses? What if I hadn’t just misunderstood, but unconsciously felt the arrow and dodged it?’
The odds were high.
In the first place, Theodore brought Noah here because he said he couldn’t perfectly control his senses.
‘If intuition is more accurate than perception, let’s trust intuition.’
Noah relaxed and stood comfortably.
You don’t have to look or listen. Noah focused purely on feeling.
‘left.’
Noah thought he was moving his body slightly.
Of course, there was no pain.
I couldn’t tell if the arrow had actually come flying and avoided it, or if Noah was just imagining it while standing there alone.
But Noah definitely felt that he was avoiding something.
The problem was that he himself couldn’t figure out why.
‘Why did you think it was left? Did you really detect it? Didn’t you guess? Because there were a lot of attacks from the right ahead, I thought they would come from the left soon?’
Concentrating on the ambiguous thing called sense, he himself was not sure whether this was a mere guess or a real feeling.
self-doubt.
But doubt soon turned to conviction.
‘This sh*t… … ?’
Dozens of attacks.
In this training, as each step went up, the level of aggression remained similar, only the senses became fainter.
Because it was an attack he had already experienced, he could catch it with a faint sense, and he was able to face an attack that he did not feel well without fear.
‘But this time, why are there so many!’
I could feel arrows being aimed from all sides.
If all the feelings were real, even if the senses were intact, they were all unstoppable.
‘come!’
Noah drew his sword in his imagination.
Move your body to a place where the attack is weak, and focus on self-defense techniques from behind. Deflects an attack from the front.
‘I can’t even tell if the self-defense is really unfolding or not!’
It is much easier to cut an arrow from the side rather than from the front.
But the number was so large that I couldn’t afford to deal with it that way.
‘I cut so that the arrows bounced off the sword hit as many other arrows as possible!’
The rushing slash deflects a rain of arrows.
At first glance, it seemed like a random swing, but Noah was moving perfectly calculatedly.
Under closed eyelids, it feels like the pupils are moving rapidly to follow the attack position.
I felt blood rushing to my head and the back of my neck getting hot.
Then, suddenly, it was seen that the flying attack was mixed with the weeds.
‘Damn it, I don’t want this to be a wasteland because it’s hard to block, right?’
I had to trust my intuition until the end.
“Yes, wherever we go, let’s try it!”
* * *
While Noah fought alone, Theodore watched with interest.
“Awesome.”
An excellent knight can handle it freely even if it is not his own sword.
Furthermore, a knight like Theodore didn’t have to be a ‘sword’.
“I lied about the 5th level, but the sensory deterioration in the room has already exceeded the 25th level. But how are you reacting to all the attacks?”
The sensory deterioration in this training room ended at level 30.
The problem was that the words were the highest level, but there was no way to actually go there.
“The 30th stage is a stage that can only be seen with the inner eye. No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense that my senses have already reached level 25 at that age.”
Siman.
A prerequisite for the master knight’s symbol, the sword.
A state in which the sixth sense, the sense through the aura, is completed and everything within the aura detection range can be recognized.
In other words, it was like a synesthetic demonic eye.
To be precise, the Mystic Eye is born with a part of the Mind’s Eye.
“Even the 7th princess, excluding the magic eye, her sensory level is only around 20. How is such a state possible?”
When he raised it to level 26 as a test, Noah hesitated for a moment and then prepared for the path the arrow would fly.
The arrows in this room aren’t particularly powerful. It wasn’t even hidden.
But it was important to catch it even when the senses were reduced.
“Is it because of the training at Siwonseok? no. It is, after all, training to strengthen the control of the auror. Even at high levels, I may be able to maintain my rigid body technique, but my senses will not become sharper.”
Siwonseok training was, so to speak, to increase the power of the aura.
On the other hand, this training was more about increasing the control of the auror.
The problem is that Noah’s senses are already innate enough to be close to the mind’s eye, and he just didn’t recognize it.
In other words, Noah was not learning through training, but was awakening to what he could have done earlier.
In the meantime, the steps continued to rise, and it was only when Noah reached the 29th step that he did not catch the needle flying from behind and was stabbed in the hamstring.
A level that is one step ahead of the mind.
If the Mystic Eye is a phenomenon that only vision is born at level 30, it means that Noah is born with all senses at level 29.
“Let’s stop here.”
“Hee-eok, hee-eok, how much time has passed?”
When Noah regained his senses, he sighed.
I couldn’t feel it because my senses were gone, but my actual body was in a state of extreme tension.
Even though he learned rigid body technique, he was very tired after only 2 hours.
“About two hours have passed. It’s not a bad result if you fail level 9 on the first try.”
“Okay… … From the middle, I wasn’t sure, so I kept saying “I don’t know.”
“But I kept getting it right. It’s hard to feel it for the first time, but it won’t be hard to get used to what you’ve felt once.”
Theodore hid Noah’s actual stage of arrival.
“In three days, you will be able to consciously feel the level you have reached now.”
“What next?”
“This is training to bring out one’s abilities to the limit. Breaking through the limits and expanding the scope of what you can do is another matter. It takes constant practice.”
It was said that there is no such thing as a shortcut, so practice or diligently.
“Still, 9th level, worse than my twin seniors when I was 9 years old… … .”
Theodore kept his mouth shut even as he watched Noah clearly sullen at his lie.
Noah should keep coming here to practice so he can learn his swordsmanship.
If he told me honestly that he had already reached an absurd level, he might have run away.
‘It seems that you don’t even know your own condition. I’m sorry, but I’d better keep it a secret for now.’
“Let’s work hard for the next three days.”
* * *
The three days passed quickly.
In the meantime, Noah has fully adapted to step 9 – actually step 29.
“If I do a little more, I think I can reach level 10, but it doesn’t work.”
“It’s good to have a desire to improve, but it shouldn’t become greedy.”
“Yes. Keep that in mind.”
It was only three days, but after sweating and eating together every day, I managed to get along well with Theodore.
Poof!
Noah suddenly grabbed the thrown glove.
“Receive.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a miracle. It’s like what you gave my daughters.”
“Isn’t that what you meant to do?”
“Don’t be silly, take it. In the first place, Master Knight’s private tutoring is much more expensive than the elixir.”
Noah put the neck armor in without saying anything.
“I’m just saying this just in case, but you can’t just eat the elixir.”
“What if I just eat it?”
“You must be familiar with the penetrating glasses that put your aura into the bodies of others, right? Then what about the elixir? After all, this is someone else’s Aura.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“… … If you eat it wrong, you will die. It is like inserting a foreign substance into your body.”
“That is correct. You need to carefully manage the intake of elixirs that account for more than 30% of your aura. Other drugs to help absorption, or a helper to hold the aura are essential. Even that has to be shared over a long period of time. So don’t eat alone.”
It was not an amount that could be absorbed in 3 days anyway.
“If it’s your current aura, it won’t be possible to eat it all if you focus on absorption all year long.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t use it right now… … Thanks anyway. I learned a lot in 3 days.”
The senses themselves did not expand, only the perception of the senses changed, but it felt like I was transferred to a new body.
In this new sense, Noah was able to gain realization of the teachings he had been misusing until now.
A completely different result came out when the techniques that were only followed without a proper understanding were unfolded with an accurate sense.
In addition to the explosive increase in power, effects and functions that were completely unknown were added.
‘Thanks to that, while learning, I also thought that I was really far away.’
Things that used to depend on intuition have entered the realm of understanding.
I felt that the completion of Ki was just around the corner.
As a result, my body was itching to test the changes right away.
“Then see you later at the opening ceremony.”
* * *
1 hour before the opening ceremony.
10 Night Ray participants,
144 individual participants in the empire;
380 overseas participants,
A large number of participants, totaling 534, gathered at the Stellarium main stadium.
A brief rehearsal was scheduled for participants and officials with the general public coming soon.
“It’s nice to see you again after I haven’t seen you in a few days. Has it changed a lot?”
“And you too.”
Felix was the first thing Noah found after entering for rehearsal.
More precisely, it was the sword Felix was wearing.
“Have you increased one bag?”
Felix was wearing an additional sword in addition to the one he was using.
Holy Sword.
Perhaps thanks to his recent exposure to star fragments, Noah noticed the material of the sword he hadn’t pulled out.
“The fact that the property has been transformed means that my sword has started to take on my own color.”
The Holy Spirit Sword accepts the user’s aura and changes accordingly.
Therefore, it is said that it is better to have your own sword as early as possible, but in fact there was no need to be in such a hurry.
“If you use the Holy Spirit Sword while having a bad habit, the habit will appear on the sword. That’s why in my family, we present the Holy Spirit Sword as the starting point of the awakening of attribute conversion.”
“It seems like you’ve grown stronger since I haven’t seen you for a few days after the second semester.”
The time has come to seriously try to compete with Felix.
Felix seemed to have the same thought, and the two burned their desire to compete.
“You are already full of motivation.”
“Veronica!”
“I just like Veronica. There will be quite a few things to call each other during the competition. More than anything else, this man is already calling it his own.”
Veronica grumbled, poking Noah in the side.
After confirming that Noah had gained a new understanding during the ranking match at the end of the second semester, she deliberately told Noah to come to Stellarium early.
However, Noah, who has arrived at Stellarium, is not stuck in the Ribery family, but in the meantime, isn’t there more things to worry about when he comes with the princess of Sanctum Keep?
It has not changed since the entrance ceremony that everyone is selfish.
‘I didn’t say something strange to Miss Arni, right?’
‘I haven’t seen you since the first day. They said they were touring until the opening ceremony.’
The attention that had been gathered by Veronica’s appearance was passed on to Noah as the two whispered.
Among them, there were people who recognized Noah because he had been diligent in his investigation.
Noah also checked the things he cares about among the gazes toward him.
‘That’s definitely the foreign prince I met on the train. And over there… … .’
“Here you are.”
Tiu, Miho, and the other contestants from Nightray they met in the preliminary round joined them.
“All gathered. Then, shall we have a brief strategy meeting?”
“A strategy meeting?”
“Each of the five rounds of the topsword symbolizes the virtues of a knight. Among them, the first round has traditionally been the theme of ‘cooperation’.”
Round 1 is a cooperative match.
It was a team fight with Veronica, who was reliable when we were on the same side as much as we wanted to defeat.
