When the battle is over and we're sure there are no more enemies, we set about collecting our loot.

I don't know if this thing is all preyed upon, or if it's just escaped, but there's no sign of the creature in the forest.

I guess this is a blessing in disguise.

Now I can calm down and get my things in order.

But there's so much.

As well as its body, there was a great deal of loot in its belly.

If I took it all home, I know it would be worth a fortune.

You were lucky that you managed to pack all that stuff into your backpack.

Rather than cramming them in, it would be more accurate to say that they were secured with ropes, but thanks to this, you can never see your back like the peddlers of old.

”Hey, it's pretty heavy, isn't it?

”If you split it between two people, it's like carrying an elephant on your back.

Normally, it would be ridiculous to think about carrying a quantity that would normally be brought in a truck by hand, but we are carrying it while checking our balance.

Now, let's get out of here before the enemy comes.

Yeah.

We didn't need to stay long, and once more to make sure there was nothing to see, we left.

We walked through the trees, crushing the grass.

Which reminds me, my senior.

”What?

Why didn't you use that technique first?　It would have been a lot quicker if I had used it.

That move, oh, that last one: ......

You are walking warily through the forest when you are approached by Kaido, and you answer him without turning around.

I think Kaido is referring to the last two cuts.

”It's not that I didn't use it, it's that I couldn't use it.

”Huh?　What were the restrictions?　You have to store your magic power or something.

No, I couldn't use the word.

”Huh?

That's why I just learned it.

It's nothing to hide, so it's easy to answer, but Kaido is surprised and stops in his tracks.

”There's nothing to be surprised about.

”No, no, no, no, no, no.

Kaido shook his head so much that he was afraid he was going to lose his head.

”What are you talking about?　Are you going to say you could do it if you tried?

”Oh, I could have done it.

”Oh, no!　No way.

”It's impossible to be unbelievable when I've actually done it right in front of you.

I thought I had a chance to win because of that move.　It's scary to know that it's not there and to think that it might have been in that monster's stomach.

If I couldn't, I'd take it to an endurance fight and see what I could do, but I'm not stupid enough or righteous enough to fight a fight I don't have a chance of winning.

If you look back at him as if he were not foolish enough to rush in with an ineptitude, Kaido exhales as if relieved.

Simply because of that slash, the time was reduced, and the outcome of the battle would only be the difference between longer and shorter time.

If it came down to it, he was going to turn the mineral tree into a blunt instrument.

I won't tell you that, but I thought it was a flower.

I'd rather go home and have a cup of coffee and move my feet.

You're great, aren't you? I thought it was only in the comic books that you got it done. How did you do it, by the way?

”What's up ......

The next time you're relieved, curiosity rears its ugly head and Kaido asks you for tips on slashing.

I hadn't done anything special, so I had a moment to think about how to explain.

However, it doesn't change what I think about.

The only explanation that came to mind was.

”Kaido, can you cut tofu with an even knife?

”Huh?　Of course I'm out of it, but what about ......?

”Well, then you can cut a steel pipe with the same knife?

”Hmmm...enhanced with magic. ...... No, it's impossible. It usually breaks the knife.

That's it.

”No, which one?

”It's tofu that cuts. It can't be cut with steel pipes. I was able to make that slash because I eliminated this perception gap.

?”?

It's all a bit of a gibberish.

I'm not playing with words.

I'm just talking about common sense.

There's no way you can cut an iron pipe with an even-grade kitchen knife.

I don't think that even if you boost your own ability with magic, the result will be either the knife will be broken or the blade will be chipped, and you won't conclude to cut it off.

But that means you've set a limit in your mind that you can't do it, that common sense says you can't do it.

You've decided that you can't do it unless you have a more suitable tool to cut the steel pipe.

This is ridiculous. I've given up the idea of giving up because it won't cut. That's just the way it is.

It does away with that common sense.

The result is the result of focusing only on cutting and wielding the mineral tree, implying to yourself that your opponent is not hard and can be cut.

”Well, if that's all you can do, you'll have no trouble.

Maybe.

If you ask me if changing just one perception can change something that drastically, there is no part of me that has changed that much.

It's simply that the element of resignation that I could do this or that was removed.

And because I was able to do this story, there is no guarantee that anyone else can do it.

But

I thought I'd become stronger if I learned that trick, but it doesn't sound so good.

I could do it.

I made my hand into a sword and let the magic flow through it.

And with a sweep of my hand toward the bush in front of me, the branch would be cut down and the path cut open without resistance.

I knew it would cut.

That's why it's not surprising.

You'll walk through the path as if nothing happened.

I guess this means I need to learn to do this after all! You can learn new magic like this!

Maybe.

I'm not going to listen to it.

You're well aware.

”Terrible!
