Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 23.3

“No, I understand your feelings, Yuto-sama, about not wanting to return to combat duty. However, there’s no guarantee the Second Prince’s faction won’t attack again. I agree with training to protect yourself.”

“Yeah… but what kind of training should I do?”

“Well, in martial arts, speed, power, and accuracy are important.”

“Could you explain in detail?”

“Yes. Firstly, speed. No matter how powerful an attack is, if it’s slow, it can be avoided. In your case, Yuto-sama, since you managed to defeat Dorotheus, speed shouldn’t be a problem.”

“But… my magic isn’t visible, so it couldn’t be avoided, right? If we’re just talking about speed, it might be difficult to hit a moving target more swiftly…”

“I see. In your case, Yuto-sama, there’s no issue with the power of your magic. So, you need training in hitting a moving target swiftly and accurately.”

“I see…”

Upon further reflection on severing transfer magic, Yuto realized a horrifying potential use for it.

During the treatment to remove Rosetta’s bruises, I once tested how deeply I could perceive the human body.

As a result, I could perceive not only muscle and bone tissues, but also organs and even brain tissues.

By applying this power, I could even sever only the blood vessels inside the brain or crucial nerves.

In other words, I could disguise an assassination as a natural death.

“Yuto-sama… Yuto-sama!”

“Huh, ah… sorry, I was lost in thought.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I think so. Actually, I need to master Severing Transfer Magic, not just for the sake of those five I killed.”

“Your earnest approach to things is one of your good qualities, Yuto-sama, but being too serious isn’t always preferable.”

“Too serious… maybe?”

“Yes, it’s like being too serious… or having too strong convictions.”

Araseli pointed out not just the attackers from the other day, but also Yuto’s strong convictions about classmates.

“Yuto-sama, you are not at fault for either matter. I don’t oppose you training in magic, but thinking of it as atonement is wrong. Training should solely aim at improving your skills.”

“I see… but I feel like I can concentrate better when I have a purpose.”

“Ekkels-sama and Ludienne-sama are impressed with your focus, but being too fixated may hinder flexibility in your actions.”

“Flexibility… I see.”

Indeed, when facing the same task, having an attitude of “maybe I can do it” rather than “I must do it” seems to lead to various ideas.

Magic for severing objects, if used without any thought, can potentially take lives.

To use it to protect lives, a reversal of thinking will likely be necessary.

“Yeah, I should approach it more freely, not forced by someone else.”

“Yes, that sounds good.”

“Well then, after dinner and bathing, I’d like to spend time with Araseli freely.”

“That’s fine, but after you’ve finished those.”

To escape the guilt of killing five people, drowning in Araseli’s body.

Even though I think it’s lacking self-control, if I try to sleep without doing anything, I won’t be able to escape those eyes of the five I killed.
