Then, after being knocked down several times, I knew what Master Shihan was doing. Shihan is mobilizing all of his senses to grasp my movements. And when I attacked him, he would duck or parry with minimal movement, and then attack at the same time.

　Its attacks are also limited to minimal movement. Although the attack was compact and compressed, it was powerful enough to take me down in a single blow with my armor on.

　When I asked him why the small movements are so powerful, he replied that he puts his own body weight on the punches and kicks by shifting the center of gravity. Although it cannot be used to fight demons, the concept of a compact and compressed attack is interesting.

　The most important part of this fighting style is reading signs. Using all of one's senses, one senses the opponent's movements and predicts his next move. However, it is also important not to trust the prediction too much.

　They need to fight it, leaving room to respond when the predictions are wrong. It would be too difficult.

　This fighting style is called "Shippu" by an ancient martial arts school.

The name of the dance is "Nankuru-no-mai," and it has been adapted and improved in Nankuru-ryu karate.

If you are a living magician, you can sense D-particles. Since they can use D-particle sensors in addition to the five human senses, they should have an advantage over ordinary martial artists."

　Maybe so, but the five senses are used since birth and can automatically make decisions without thinking. But the D-particle sensor is a sense that we have only recently begun to use. The information that flows in from the D-particle sensor cannot be used without organizing it in the head.

But it takes time to determine the information coming in from the D-particle sensor."

You just have to practice thoroughly and train yourself enough to react the same way you do visually."

　I have been working on the D-particle sensor for a while. Thanks to that, I think the sensitivity and sensing range are the best in the world. In addition, the master seems to be telling us that we should also train our judgment of the information coming in from the D-particle sensor.

I understand. I will work out."

You can train your eyes by acting with them closed, except when you're reading or watching TV."

　The master trained him that way after he learned the "sensing zone" and could feel the D-particles.

　Master Mitsuhashi's magic level has increased without his knowledge. When I checked, I found that Master Mitsuhashi had reached magic level 9.

'Then have you mastered "Crash Lance" and "Catapult" as well?'

Of course. The 'crash lance' is especially interesting. I trained myself to release the Quint Crash Lance with a thrusting motion, and now I can kill armor bears with ease.

　To defeat an armor bear with the "Crash Lance," one must precisely hit the armor bear's vital spot with the D-particle lance. We could only be amazed at the master's skill to do it so easily.

　The master taught him how to fight in high-speed combat, and he decided to resume his karate training from now on.

'But I don't think you can beat the Silver Ogre if you learn to fight this way.

　I nodded my head, knowing that. A silver ogre, which can move ten times faster than an ordinary human being, cannot compete with this level of technology.

　I showed my power sword and the "ring of agility" to the master.

With these two things, I figure I can speed things up to about five times faster, but still no?"

　The master shakes his head with a reluctant look on his face.

It's still not enough. We can't win unless we have some kind of magic equipment that increases our speed by at least seven times.

Do you have such magical equipment?"

'Come on, I've never heard of it. Maybe you should ask the Kondo branch manager."

I will."

　To my delight, he said that if I were to start up a batallion, Shihan would be a member. It seems Taichi explained to him about the batallion.

Thank you."

　I promised to resume training and then headed for the Adventurers' Guild. When I entered the guild, it was noisy. What was going on?　Tesshin was just there, so I asked him what the fuss was about.

An adventurer got his hands on the coffin of the tomb in the ninth level of the Narukami dungeon, which the Adventurers' Guild had warned us about."

Who are you?"

　Tesshin let out a sigh.

Higuchi of the "Iron Oath" team, which has recently moved to Narukami Dungeon.

burner

He's a magician in a magical costume."

　I did not remember that name. It must have been a short time since they moved their activities to a new location.

Were you safe?"

I can't say he's safe. The moment the coffin lid was opened, a loud cry echoed from the coffin, and Higuchi, who heard it nearby, went deaf."

　It's worse to mess with the Adventurers Guild when they warn you. This is a self-inflicted wound.

What was buried in the coffin?"

The only mummy they found was the mummy of the Minotaur."

　I wonder what the branch manager looks like. I ask him to call me to see the branch manager, and he says he'll see me soon, so I head to the branch manager's office.

　The Kondo branch manager waited with a bitter look on his face.

I'm here because I need your help.

It's my job as branch manager to support Class A adventurers, so don't hesitate to rely on me. So what is it you want to know?"

　I told the branch manager what I had discussed with Master Mitsuhashi and asked if there was any magical equipment that would increase my speed by more than seven times.

The only way to get that much magic equipment would be to auction it off, but I'm prepared to pay billions of dollars for it....... Well, there's a chance it could be in the 20th layer of the Thunder God dungeon.

Twenty layers of the Thunder God dungeon?　Is there anything in there?"

　According to the explanation of the branch manager, there is a room called "Dedication Room" near the middle boss room in the 20th level. If you dedicate your magical equipment there, demons will appear and challenge you to a fight.

If you defeat the demon, you will be left with more than the magical equipment you dedicated to it as a drop."

If I want magical equipment that increases my speed sevenfold or more, should I dedicate the 'Power Sword' or the 'Ring of Agility'?"

In this case, it would be both. If we fail, we lose two valuable pieces of magical equipment, but if we succeed, we may get what we want."

　The "Dedication Room" is said to be able to use the escape ball. It is said that it is possible to escape if you decide that you cannot win against the demons that appear.

I understand. I will look into the "Dedication Room" a bit more before making a decision."

That would be good."

　I thanked the branch manager and left the Adventurers' Guild.
