Ch.375370 – Mistake

The 233rd and 234th sword strikes fall into the category of relatively easy-to-spot mistakes.

Whether it was due to sweat on the handle causing a slip or something else, Emika struck with the flat of the blade rather than the edge.

She even showed herself adjusting her grip before the 235th strike, so there’s no room for debate.

The part viewers find difficult to understand is the 158th mistake.

Based on a lengthy article written by a mage from a private military company in our community, I’ll add my own thoughts.

“This person’s analysis is excellent. There was a mistake during the aura switching process, and fortunately, the aftermath wasn’t immediately apparent, but it continuously forced Katsuhata into disadvantageous stances afterward. Let me explain this as simply as possible.”

If you ask whether aura is scientific or non-scientific, it’s closer to non-scientific.

Not because it’s inherently unscientific, but because human science alone can’t fully interpret it.

Still, theoretical aura studies have attempted to incorporate aura into scientific categories, most notably with the ‘virtual center of gravity’ theory.

“As you all know, aura amplifies physical abilities, right? Let’s say if I run at full strength, I can cover 5 meters per second, but with aura, I can run 10 meters per second. In this case, we can place the aura’s center of gravity 15 meters ahead of me. Interestingly, the unit comes out as speed, but that’s not the important part here, so let’s move on.”

The ‘goal’ that humans want to achieve lies between human ‘ability’ and the aura’s ‘center of gravity’.

This is where the theory begins.

“But you can’t infinitely distance the center of gravity. This is expressed as ‘having a limit radius.’ To maximize aura efficiency, you need to place this center of gravity on the limit radius line—or rather, surface, since we live in a 3D world. Of course, this isn’t a matter of calculation.”

It’s a very simplified diagram of the complex interactions between brain waves, hormones, aura heart, and mana circuits.

I played the video and pointed to where Emika was standing.

“Even at 0.25x speed, the sword is quite fast, isn’t it? The movement itself looks small, but the power is considerable. In my opinion, Katsuhata was trying to end it here. However, Cecilia had cast ‘Compression Coefficient Adjustment’ and ‘Hydraulic Lift’ three seconds earlier, which shook the ground and caused the sword to narrowly miss. That’s where everything went wrong.”

-Sampaio’s response was insane too, damn.

-It takes two to tango, as they say.

-This match was essentially the final.

-How is that 2-circle casting so fast lol

-This analysis is super interesting haha

-Katsuhata was just too eager.

“Right now, all of Katsuhata’s will, nerves, and concentration are focused solely on executing this move. Applying the theory I mentioned earlier, we could say the center of gravity has moved too far from her body.”

-But isn’t analyzing this openly revealing her weaknesses?

I shook my head vigorously.

“The way she recovered from this was fantastic. Watch the next ten movements.”

Emika split one movement into ten improvised movements to recover the aura concentrated in various parts of her body.

She breaks down the recoil from forced movements into smaller actions.

“See how when her body rotation is strong, she spins the sword once before striking down, and when force enters her thighs, she steps forward diagonally for a slashing cut? Her body is out of control, yet she’s performing movements appropriate for each situation!”

She managed her body—uncontrollable due to aura overload—as if it were all intentional.

On the opposite side, Cecilia was struggling just to withstand the barrage of attacks.

In extreme situations, humans sometimes demonstrate superhuman strength. Unconsciously.

“What do you think? Wasn’t it beautiful, like solving a Rubik’s cube? Katsuhata makes mistakes sometimes, as she’s human. But her recovery ability is far superior to others, turning major mistakes into minor ones. That’s what’s truly frightening, and exactly why I think she deserves praise. Not simply for executing 249 strikes.”

Even if you try to exploit her mistakes, it’s nearly impossible to find an opening.

“Do you understand?”

-Wow damn damn damn

-This is mind-blowing lol

-Conclusion: Katsuhata is way stronger than we think.

-Holy crap, that’s chilling.

-Professor NoName’s Emika appreciation lecture!

-To duel like this…

-Industry secrets are insane.

-Wow… I wouldn’t understand any of this if I wasn’t in the field!

Viewers couldn’t contain their amazement for a while.

The chat was flowing like rapids.

I enjoyed the lingering sentiment for a moment before speaking again.

“You know… when you work hard behind the scenes, no one really notices. So I wanted to give her credit on her behalf. Because we’re friends.”

-Niceeee

-THE GREAT NONAME

-True, it’s not easy to appreciate these details.

-No wonder Japan is confident about winning. She’s truly extraordinary.

-That was so interesting, Professor!

-NoName, you should definitely participate next year too! Big sis will definitely watch you two or three times…!

It’s a touching moment.

Tens of thousands of people beyond the monitor are curious about what I’m saying.

They say you shouldn’t feel bad when others don’t recognize your efforts, but that’s easier said than done.

In my past life, despite all my blood and sweat, the reality that no one acknowledged me was simply miserable.

My self-esteem kept deteriorating, and I felt like I was racing down a dark downhill path.

What’s the point of swinging a sword faster or casting more diverse spells if no one is watching?

“We’ve already spent two hours just on the quarterfinals… I guess I can’t do the semifinal review as planned. Did you enjoy today’s stream?”

-To be honest, this was 100 million times more interesting than your math lectures.

-Can’t you do one match per day?

-There are 63 matches total, so just 62 more to go…

-Wow, the stream is being copied!

-Thanks to the National Exchange Competition, I’m learning about theoretical aura studies.

-For real, I thought all that talk about aura being an academic field was nonsense.

-22222

-But if I analyze everything like this, my head might explode too lol

-It’s meaningless, actually.

-The streamer is just cute, so whatever she does is fun.

-No…! Why is it ending already!!!

“Some of you are asking what’s the point of having these discussions… You’re right, there might be no point. But we weren’t born with any inherent meaning, were we? Just giving meaning to our lives and trying to realize it is what makes life fun and happy, I think. Thank you all for today, see you tomorrow.”

Humans aren’t like worker bees or queen bees with predetermined destinies.

I rocked back and forth in my chair, zoning out for a moment.

“Pew pew pew pew.”

I puffed my cheeks and made deflating balloon sounds, then made “mmm-pa-pa-pa” noises with my lips.

I cracked my fingers, rubbed my slightly bloodshot eyes, and let out a long yawn.

‘What time should I leave the hotel for tomorrow’s finals? Should I eat dinner early or after watching everything? Should I take a taxi or a bus?’

This is the typical dilemma of planners.

We feel compelled to meticulously arrange things a day in advance, even when they could easily be decided on the spot.

[Plans exist for those who cannot live without clinging to them…]

Adella Sosuke’s famous quote—she’s extremely P on the MBTI—briefly crossed my mind, but what can I do about my nature?

I should also look up return flight tickets in advance.

“Huh?”

When I pressed Alt+Tab, my streaming channel reappeared.

The girl in the stream looked at me, furrowed her brow, and pouted.

When I pulled my chair forward, the girl mimicked my action exactly.

As if she were a mirror.

The realization hit me in an instant.

“Ah!”

I hurriedly checked the chat, which was flooded with laughter.

-LOLOLOLOL

-Oh, it’s us again~ The stream wasn’t turned off~

-OMG she’s seriously so cute this is her real self so the stream really is just the tip of the iceberg I’m seriously going to die from a nosebleed.

-Host!!! You’ve been hiding your power!!!!!

-Wowkekekekehahagasp.

-“NoName makes mistakes sometimes, as she’s human.”

-The 2,000 people who missed this must be devastated lol

-Now I can die without regrets.

-Streamer, I’m dying!

-I understand NoName’s grand plan to watch streams until the very end…

-Lip tingling ASMR for real? NoName is truly legendary.

-Isn’t the gap between your real self and your persona too big?

The milk was already spilled.
