I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 699

Well then, shall we go next? Now let's actually do what Alphonse learned from watching. "

"Finally. I was really worried about when I would ever touch the sword because I was only allowed to watch practice."

"But didn't you imagine that in your head? Weren't you thinking about what you remembered when you saw my movements?

"Of course, I still am. I can imitate Kensei's movements."

"Fufu. Now, let's do it."

It has been many days since the practice of watching began.

In the meantime, I was just watching Eye's sword dance, and I didn't touch the sword at all.

Because Eye had forbidden it.

I was told it was better to stop using my body in a half-recorded movement, and I endured it.

But it was also at its limit.

I think Eye felt it too.

Finally, I got permission to touch the sword.

"Okay, well, look at that, Eye."

"Ah, may I have one, Mr. Alphonse?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?

"We have one condition. From now on, you will reproduce the actual movement of the sword with your body, but do so as slowly as possible."

"Slowly? Why?

"Because it's better to understand the right thing to do. If you move your body faster, you can deceive the roughness of some movement. As a result, even though you are not moving correctly, you are delusional as if you are doing it properly. Make sure to move as slowly and accurately as possible to prevent it."

"Hmm. Is that so? Well, no. Then I'll try it slowly and keep an eye on it, Eye."

I was given an unfamiliar condition.

Does that really mean that you need to move fast when you actually use a sword?

However, if Eye is like that, let's try it.

I held a sword in my hand and slowly waved it down as I was told.

"It's more fun. Slower. It's going too fast."

"Eh, is this fast?

"Yes, use your body as slowly as possible. For example, until the flying bird mistakes it for a tree and can rest its wings in Alphonse's body."

"That's so rude. How long does it take to swing the sword down?"

"That's all right. Rather, it's better that way."

I was going to wave my sword down pretty slowly myself.

But then Eye waited.

I think it's such a rude thing to move so fast even now.

But as I was told, I waved down my sword more slowly.

While imitating Kensei's sword muscles as imagined in his head, he moved his body slowly enough to wonder if time was stopping.

This is harder than I thought.

The weight of the sword makes my arm quite painful.

Besides, it was unexpectedly difficult to move the body slowly.

In my own imagination, I'm swinging straight down without any waste, but my arms are subtly fluttering from side to side.

Maybe that's what Eye wanted to say.

Slight motion shake.

Probably wouldn't have noticed if I was swinging my sword down as usual.

However, the waste of that fine movement makes a big difference in practice.

I wonder if this is what you're doing to make me realize it.

I took the time to swing my sword down.

So we move on to the next operation.

But before that, I decided to manipulate the magic.

Gather the magic of your body into your brain.

Unlike when I watched practice, I didn't collect magic in my eyes.

Focus on the brain.

This will allow the movement in front of you to flow slowly.

It wasn't just the view, it was the movement of my body.

Take advantage of this.

While focusing your magic on your brain to slowly understand how your body is moving, your body is actually moving slowly.

By doing so, I was able to understand the movement in more detail.

Besides, while moving my body, I could simultaneously think of the movement of the eye that I had learned from watching exercises up to now.

Imagine the correct sword stroke by the eye in your brain, checking your body's movements and moving it.

Though I wanted to try various movements, all I did was swing them down from top to bottom.

Repeat the same motion over and over again to confirm the motion.

And if there's anything that bothers you, try again and again so that you can move correctly.

Repeat even more.

Repeat the same motion over and over again.

Keep doing it all day, and it's not over.

The same thing was repeated the next day and the next day.

Thus, every day, in the garden of the Mansion, I was there holding my sword in a motion that stopped.
