7 Chapter 7: Genius
Hmm...What's that smell? Too stinky! It's very hard to sleep with that smell. Is that ...HOW CAN I FREAKIN FORGET!? This is the night Bessita came and gave a 'medicine' that was actually made to make the drinker have a strong itching for 7 days! Leylin was right! That girl is bad news. But according to Chapter 2, Leylin found out with the help of A. I. Chip about the effects so he should be alright. Now if I'm not mistaken, this smell should be from his Knight breath training because he wanted to become strong but the A. I. Chip recommended the Knight training to use. Then isn't the next chapter should be available now?
[Beep! Chapter 3 and 4 is now available!]
Oh... there it is and two too!
Wait... Wanna try something. System, Can you scan the 2 chapter then summarize the necessary information I need to know, then please send it to my brain.
Now that the system has the function of the A. I. Chip, it would be a shame if I couldn't use it when I can hehe.
[Beep! Task Established! starting summarization! Sending to the user's brain.]
Oh...tickles a little. These core information. This is definitely faster than reading one chapter. In the future, I can just do this.
In this world, there were several mysterious forces. However, the ones commoners had the most experience with were Knights!
Knights were warriors who had gone through tough training and had stimulated their inner life energy. Their physical attributes were way beyond that of a normal human.
To be a Magus, it required a specific kind of gift, and amongst tens of thousands of people, it was possible that there wasn't even one such person. However, being a Knight was different; as long as they were willing to put in the effort, anyone could become a Knight!
For these Knights, not only were their physical attributes several times that of normal humans, they were also well versed in using various weaponry, as well as in the killing arts. Some Knights even had special secret skills that could unleash a sudden burst of power!
The kingdoms of the common world, along with the nobility, were generally made up of Knights.
The Farlier family which Leylin was part of was also a Knight family. The original founder of the family had fought in wars together with the king, and had accomplished much meritorious service. Thus, they had been awarded with the Viscount title, as well corresponding holdings.
Because Seely was deemed too weak for Knight training. Their father didn't taught him and only Leylin was thought about it but I can easily try and let my brother teach me. With the function of A. I. Chip and the help of my very own system, it shouldn't be too hard to learn the knight training... probably?
Cross Blade Basic Sword Style: Horizontal Slash, Vertical Slash, Piercing Attack, Slanted Slash…
Footwork: Advance, Retreat, Dodge…
There was also the accompanying breathing technique. All of it appeared clearly in Seely's mind from the chapter's information.
Although i know this, it's better for Leylin to teach me. More importantly, he has the memory of being trained by our father but...i don't have it so it's useless even if I have the A. I. Chip and I think system isn't helpful in this situation. Also Leylin already optimised the Knight breathing technique and made it more efficient and less dangerous to practice so let's just follow that.
According to the information in the chapter 3. The original breathing technique should be like this.
[Cross blade accompanying breathing technique – Time required for one revolution: 30 Minutes. 10 Revolutions will improve the Host's body by 0.05 strength, 0.06 agility and 0.03 vitality. The improvements will gradually lessen as the stats improve!
Warning: If the Host goes through long term training of this technique, it will result in residual damage caused to the Host body. Recommendation to think twice before starting.]
But after the A. I. Chip optimised it.
[The optimisation for the breathing technique has been completed. Time taken for breathing technique, 5 minutes 23 seconds, and the effects have all risen by 5%! The side effects of the injuries have vanished!]
If everything goes according to what the chapter said. Leylin should be outside to wash up, has been found out but had been let go of that black robed servant because he knew about Leylin training the Knight breathing technique because he also trained a similar technique when he was younger. Too bad he became a servant because of a Magus who had experimented on him. Oh his name is Angelo. Wow... My guess was far off. Why did I even thought of the names Leo or Leon.
In this world, experimenting on humans is done openly, some even without permission or compensation.
Leylin will also scavenged some plants, berries and fruits for the A. I. Chip to scan and analyse. If it's beneficial for the body. Leylin will take it, if not he will throw it and everything is recorded by the A. I. Chip.
That makes me wonder. System, since you're connected now to the A. I. Chip. Can you take data or information without the A. I. Chip being alerted? And please stop with the beeping for now. It's getting annoying now.
[Affirmative. The A. I. Chip is already under the management of the system. No matter how far the A. I. Chip is, the system can gather information based on the data storage it have.]
So... Knight training and breathing technique is possible to gain right now?.
[Affirmative.]
Then please transfer it right now. Both the original and optimised.
[Receiving information. Information received. Transferring to the user's memory zone.]
[Acquired the Knight Breathing Technique! And became a skill! ]
Oh... So this is it. System, can you optimised more the breathing technique?
[Negative. The current optimizing function of the system is based on the A. I. Chip. When the functions of A. I. Chip is upgraded, then the system will automatically upgrade itself with the new and improved functions of the A. I. Chip.]
So all the functions the system got from the A. I. Chip is limited to the abilities of the present A. I. Chip? That's understandable I guess.
Is there no other way to improve the knight breathing technique?
[Negative but because the system turned the breathing technique into a skill. Some restrictions have been removed.]
Restrictions like what?
[Unlike the optimised breathing technique, the user does not need to lay down, simply activate the skill and the user will breath according to the Knight teachnique. The user can also leave this skill active indefinitely and has no restrictions on how many times this skill can be activated but the stats acquired by this skill is the same as 'Leylin Farlier' in terms of their limit.]
Whoa, so if I activate this from now on, I can let my stats grow steadily until it reaches the maximum capacity the skill can raise my stats and I can leave it on while walking, sleeping or doing other stuff. With this, I can finally walk without doing it with a snail's pace.
But won't Leylin be shocked if my stats suddely rise? Someone who can raise their stats quickly using a Knight Breathing technique? Only a genius can do that... Wait... THAT'S IT!!! Isn't this the best reasonable excuse??
Pretend to be a Genius and be someone capable of being a genius.
With the help of the system, it's not entirely wrong to look at me like a genius though. Also when I reach level 9, I will have an Aptitude of 5 with a 90% of being a Magus so I'll literally become what's considered as a genius or someone who has a lot of potential as a Magus in this world.
I still have to make Leylin teach me the breathing technique though. If not, it would be too suspicious how I've known it. I'm sure he knows enough that Seely was inside their home most of the time in the past because of Seely's weak body. So let's wait for Leylin to return.
Hmmm...I wonder when my Inventory will be unlocked.The capacity is based on the level so it might be unlocked after I leveled up for the first time. My body is too weak right now so even I if I want to hunt something, I can't. We are also not allowed to go far from the carriage so it's really not possible.
"Seely? Why are you still awake?"
'I smelled something bad bro Leylin so I woke up. Where did you go?'
'I took a walk and washed myself since there was a river near here. Good idea talking with your mind. It's safer like this.'
'Thank you bro but... It's the Knight's breathing technique father taught you right?'
'How did you know?' Leylin sat beside me.
'Although our father forbid me to train it since he said my body can't handle it, I still know about it and it's effects.'
'Is that so? (but with the A. I. Chip optimising the breathing technique...it might be possible for Seely to train it now.) Seely, with my ability, the A. I. Chip I told you about, I adjusted the breathing technique so it won't be dangerous for people like you to train. Would you like to train it and become stronger?'
'What a silly question bro. For most of my life, my body has been weak. If I can have a stronger body to not be a burden to others, then I will try it."
"Good" 'I will start to discuss about the Knight breathing technique to you now. "First, you must hold your breath for 65 seconds, then take three long and one short breaths. The duration and frequency must be-'
'Eh bro. Can't you just send the information to me? Since our minds are connected, can't you simply transfer what you know?' It's a suspicious suggestion but for the sake of getting to use the skill faster, it's worth it and can also be used in the near future at the academy.
'Is that even possible? A. I. Chip, Is transferring information to my brother by using the connection with our minds be possible?'
[Beep! Affirmative. For more efficient and accurate transfer, using the A. I. Chip is recommended.]
'Seely, I will try to transfer information through the A. I. chip to you. Tell me if it hurts and I will immediately stop.'
I just nodded my head.
'Immediately send the information of the Knight Breathing Technique to Seely along with the basic crossblade moves and the killing move.'
[Beep! Transferring. Transferring complete.]
'Seely? Are you okay? Did you get the information.'
'Yes bro. I'm fine. I get it now.' No time to hesitate, Let's activate the skill now! The first step to becoming stronger starts now!
'Okay let me guide you to this breathing te-... eh?...You got it! and you're doing it perfectly too!?!'
'Yes brother. It's super easy. *wink*'
'Super easy?...'
Leylin's experience on his first try:
*Looked unconscious
*Face was bright red and his temples throbbed as if carrying out some kind of exercise.
*As time passed, Leylin's face grew redder, and eventually, he began to perspire out some faint black coloured fluid.
After 20 minutes...
'Oh brother... there's a black sticky substance all over my body.'
'How do you feel?'
'I'm fine'
'Maybe you did it wrong? You should feel something' (Shouldn't he feel something at least?)
'Oh now that you mention it. i do feel lighter and more energetic! hehe'
'That's not what I meant though.' (Is my brother a genius or something? no side effects and super easy?)
'A.I. Chip, Scan Seely's stats. Change the method of display and move the data back to 10 decimal points. Also, make comparisons with the data before the cultivation.'
[Beep! After comparison, undergoing the Knight Training increases Seely's strength by
0.020, Agility by 0.020, and vitality by 0.016]
'wait... the results are more than mine. A. I. chip, show me again my stats after the comparison from my previos stats with the same format. '
[Beep! After comparison, undergoing the Knight Training increases the Host's strength by
0.005, Agility by 0.006, and vitality by 0.004]
'I'm not imagining it! Seely's result are far more better than mine. A. I. Chip! Find out the reason for the difference of our increase in state.'
[Beep! Scanning. Simulating both the Host's and Seely's process breathing techniques. Further analysing...
The result shows that Seely does the breathing technique accurately to an impossible degree, controlling muscles to better let the airflow travel the body. No lack or excess supply of air and energy are utilized while doing the breathing technique. Body and Mind is 100% synchronized to the breathing technique.]
'Ge-G-Genius!!! If this isn't being a genius and having top talent then I don't know what is! Even without the help of A. I. chip, he reached an alarming rate of precision of doing the breathing technique and he isn't even aware of it. ... ... ... I guess my brother is not useless after all. With enough time he will definitely have the physical ability of a knight. No ordinary person will dare say that he has a weak body after getting the benefits of the breathing technique.'
'Yes brother, Someday I will be strong enough as you.' Maybe even stronger than the MC? its not impossible but it's not my goal. My goal is to survive enough to finish this story and go back to earth.
'It's already been 25 minutes, you should stop. This breathing technique is dangerous if it is used for more than 25 minutes. Furthermore it will only bring harm rather than benefits.'
'Really bro? I think I could even do this while sleeping.'
'What do you mean you can still do this even when sleeping? stop now or it will bring harm to your body. This is for your own good.'
'Bro, if you don't believe me. Ask your A. I. chip.'
'This kid... Fine...Let me prove to you that what you're doing is dangerous. Listen well and after you hear that it will harm your body, you should stop... okay??'
'Yes bro" hehe
'A. I. chip Scan his body and analyze if he can still practice the breathing technique...(looks at Seely)... while sleeping.'
[Beep! Task established. Scanning Seely's body. Simulating the appropriate conditions.
...
...
...
Task finished. Results shows that Seely will be unharmed while practicing the breathing technique for an indefinite time.]
'Huh?...HUH?!? How is that even possible????'
[Due to the body and mind perfectly being synchronized with the breathing technique, there are no side effects making it possible for Seely to continuously practiced the breathing technique. As long as the body and mind is synchronized with the breathing technique, it can be practiced for an indefinite amount of time.]
'Then tell me all the rate of synchronization of each round of Breathing technique. Seely, try to sleep and I will observe if you can maintain your...breathin-...state... like that. I will wake you up if you can't maintain the state and forbid you from doing it. (Why am I even entertaining this idea, it should be impossible for a human being to maintain a focused state with his body and mind while relaxing since the body is at ease when sleeping and the body uses its functions minimally in most parts.)
'Okay brother. Good Night again.' Oh brother, with the system making it a skill, I won't ever be in danger using this technique.
After a 2 hours...
Leylin is already checking his brother's 4th round of practicing the breathing technique since Seely fell asleep.
'A. I. Chip... what about now?'
[The synchronization is still 100%]
'Show me the list of each round.
[1st - 100%
2nd - 100%
3rd - 100%
4th - 100%]
'My God! My brother really is a genius... and just not an ordinary genius... A genius among geniuses of geniuses! Did I do something extremely good in my past life to have this good of a brother or is this a compensation of me blowing up and losing my life prematurely to an accident?
Let's just sleep for now. A few more hours and it will be morning again. At least I can rest at ease that my brother will have a bright future if he just arrives at the academy safely.'
And that's how Leylin accepted the fact that his brother is genius.
