“Martial arts… ?”
“What is that?”
“Don’t you know what that is?”
When I said that I would teach them martial arts, my subordinates exchanged glances among themselves with bewildered expressions and muttered.
Most people reacted as if they were hearing the word ‘mu-gong’ for the first time.
Kai Delshad sighed slightly at that innocent, and in some ways stupid, reaction and asked me.
“… Isn’t that a technique that only appears in books?”
“Oh, do you know about martial arts?”
“I remember reading it when I was young. It said that there was a training method like that in ancient times.”
It was fortunate that Kai Delshard seemed to have some vague knowledge of martial arts.
However, I felt that unlike reality, there was no such thing as a martial arts novel.
If you look at Kai Delshad’s martial arts, it is said that they are not the martial arts that appear in the novel, but a type of training method that existed in ancient times.
There may be a martial arts novel somewhere in this universe, but it seemed that none of my subordinates knew about it.
A martial arts novel set in the space age… If there is such a thing, I would like to read it.
‘I’ll look it up later when I have time.’
But I’ll do it after I finish everything I have to do now.
I affirmed Kai Delshad’s words.
“That’s right. There may be some differences between that ancient training method and the martial arts I’m talking about, but you can think of them as roughly similar concepts. If you learn it, it’s a training method that allows you to lift rocks without cyborg parts and without being affected by blades.”
“Ohhh… !”
“That kind of technology!”
“Mugong! That’s a word that looks strong!”
The subordinates who didn’t know what martial arts were were busy being happy with my words that I would make them roughly stronger.
But Kai Delshad wasn’t that stupid, perhaps because he was the leader type.
“But I know that all of those training methods are some kind of superstition. Do you think we can become stronger by learning them?”
If I were to explain what Kai Delshard meant in my own words, it would be something like, ‘Don’t even think about teaching me such strange health exercises. Why don’t you just go back to what you were doing and buy more weapons from Basnit?’
‘Tsk tsk tsk, you sound like an unbeliever.’
I clicked my tongue inwardly.
If this were real, Kai Delshad’s reaction would be natural.
Actually, I also worked quite hard to prove my abilities to our group. If Janie hadn’t helped me in time, things might have gone a bit wrong.
But isn’t this a travel destination in a work of art?
‘You believe in a strange religion called the Constellation of Luminaris, but you don’t believe in martial arts?’
No, religion can be like that. After all, what matters is faith.
But even though I showed him how to use my supernatural powers and martial arts openly, he was so skeptical about them that I couldn’t help but think that he was just stubborn.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to think positively.
‘Hmm… no. Maybe it’s because of my image as a saint that I have trouble judging the powers I possess.’
If you think that the power I showed you was not martial arts or supernatural power, but the power of a saint, then I understand.
I tried to speak in as soft a voice as possible.
Anyway, people like this have a rebellious nature, so even if you try to force them to do something, they won’t follow it properly unless they are convinced.
“At first glance, it seems like personal training in front of a gun is meaningless. No matter how strong a person becomes by learning martial arts, it is difficult to withstand a gun with bare hands. Regardless of whether a strong or weak person uses the same gun, the difference in power that can be exerted is not that great.”
“Then… ”
“But if martial arts are included in that variable, it’s a different story. There’s no need to go out naked when the opponent is holding a gun. I’ll show you the proof.”
I passed the message to Sarah and Maria.
They nodded.
As I glanced at her, Sarah floated about fifteen pieces of a barrier around Maria.
People were slightly bewildered by the sudden appearance of a sparkling barrier around them.
Maria took advantage of the gap and pulled a pistol from the waistband of one of her subordinates who was standing blankly next to her.
It was a sidearm supplied by Basnit.
“Oh, what… !”
“Genesis M7. A good gun made by Nova Arms. It is a plasma-hybrid pistol used as a basic defensive weapon by many armed groups, and it has a magazine that can fire 50 rounds per energy cell, can be converted to standard ammunition, and has heat and water resistance. However, it is a bit heavy at 2.8 kg, so it has the disadvantage of slow aiming speed and not easy rapid fire… ”
Crash-
Tadadadadadang!!!
“!”
Maria, who was rattling off the specifications of the pistol, fired the pistol wildly at the pieces of the barrier floating around her.
The beam of light emitted from the muzzle accurately pierced through the fragments of the barrier.
Cheeek…
The pistol, which had fired a large number of bullets at once, was red hot. The sound of the internal cooling system cooling down the heat could be heard.
“… If the user’s ability is supported, such shortcomings can be easily offset.”
Maria said so and handed the gun to the owner.
The subordinate who received it again by chance had his eyes sparkling. He wasn’t the only one who reacted like that. The other subordinates were also amazed by Maria’s rapid fire and accuracy.
‘It seems that the things that men think are cool are all similar.’
It is a good thing that people are interested in martial arts in this way.
It’s good for me to show an example, but it’s more effective when someone who you originally thought was weaker than you shows it.
It’s funny to say that Maria is weak, but if you just look at her appearance, she’s a fragile beauty.
I clapped my hands to the absentminded people and brought their attention back to them.
“You saw me cut an elite individual in half.”
Most of the subordinates nodded.
At that time, my group shouted without realizing it because they thought I was in danger, so they focused their attention on me. Many of my subordinates witnessed me swinging my shining sword and cutting the elite individual in two.
“That is also one of the techniques that can be used when learning martial arts. However, martial arts are not only applied to close combat. As Maria showed, it helps you shoot guns faster and more accurately, and it also increases the speed at which you move your body.”
Maria projected a hologram in the center in time with my voice.
The hologram showed an image of a person performing virtual martial arts.
It was a video of him easily destroying bugs’ carapace with kicks and punches without breaking a sweat, and fighting humans with firearms while moving as fast as the wind.
It’s not like he only showed fighting.
In the following video, various techniques utilizing martial arts such as light-heartedness, tanjigong, and jeon-eum were also played.
The subordinates who watched the scene with admiration had expressions on their faces as if they were being sucked into the hologram.
“It looks like the Valkyrie’s reinforced soldiers that I’ve only heard rumors about are fighting.”
“But… it’s more primitive and direct. It doesn’t even have cyborg parts or anything, right?”
“If you put a machine on it, it won’t move that smoothly.”
“Is something like that really possible?”
I thought that by this point, the desire for martial arts would have been firmly ingrained in the minds of his subordinates.
At that moment, a cautious question was heard among the subordinates.
“If we receive the teachings of the saint, can we become that strong…?”
It seems that since I still think of myself as a saint, it is difficult for me to think of martial arts and religion separately.
In some ways, that wasn’t such a wrong statement.
Even in the world of martial arts, there were quite a few types of martial arts that required Taoist or Buddhist enlightenment.
So I didn’t bother to correct the question, saying it was wrong.
They probably never expected that they could attain saint-like powers, but I thought it would be a great boost to their motivation if I told them that it was possible.
I said with a cool smile.
“As much as you want.”
“… … .”
“There is no need to change body parts like when attaching cyborg parts. The person itself can be transformed into a weapon. You can do it too.”
“… … .”
Ooooh!!!
After a brief silence, the cheers of the subordinates resonated through the control room.
Kai Delshard also did not deny the existence and utility of martial arts after seeing Maria’s demonstration.
No, he also seemed to think that I had simply given the name of martial arts to my training method, but that it was actually a secret training method that had been secretly passed down within the constellation of Luminaris.
‘Does this mean I’ll have to create a knighthood?’
I looked at my subordinates who were very much looking forward and thought.
In fact, it would be difficult to see how efficient it would be to teach martial arts to subordinates who needed strength right away.
It is common sense that the younger you start learning martial arts, the higher your achievements will be.
As we age, our blood vessels harden and narrow, our sense of energy becomes dull, and it becomes difficult to build up our internal energy.
I didn’t ask, but when I looked at the faces of my subordinates, their average age didn’t look young at all.
But I also had a way.
