Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 506 Bevin's Considerations
"...The 'Blood Frenzy' doesn't necessarily have to be divided into five parts. Six, seven, or even eight parts are fine, as long as they can be connected into a whole, giving the students a certain ability to protect themselves."

Before Yaro could finish speaking, Anabe quickly retorted:
"We can't divide it too much. 'Blood Frenzy' mainly uses five muscle groups, so dividing the moves into five parts is the most reasonable. If we divide it too much, it will become unsystematic."

"What system or not? The more you divide it, the simpler and easier each move becomes to learn. You can even select the most concise few movements from it..."

As Yaro spoke, he gestured and said:
"For example, the forward step punch can also be called Black Tiger Strike the Heart. Combine this kind of practical action with appropriate 'Blood Frenzy' movements to form an attack move."

"This is a completely short-sighted approach!"

Anabe frowned. "You've already picked out all the easy-to-arrange moves. What about the rest? Doesn't that cut off the students' opportunities to continue getting stronger?"

“This is not contradictory,” Yaro added. “We can design it as a step-by-step process, where the actions of the second layer cover the actions of the first layer, the actions of the third layer cover the actions of the second layer, and so on, striving to have new means of self-defense at each layer.”

Anabe shook his head slightly, disagreeing:

"Progressing step by step means that when learning a new move, you must practice the old moves together."

In the same amount of time, you can only practice once instead of twice, and it will also greatly increase the consumption of physical strength.

This is completely a losing proposition!

Yaro said, "But it has a lower entry barrier, which allows students to gain self-defense skills more quickly, and they can learn something at every step. When learning new moves, they don't have to start from scratch, making it more suitable for them to learn on their own later."

With so many students, it's impossible for us to train them all to fully master "Qi and Blood Frenzy." We lack the resources and the necessary conditions. Therefore, we must consider their later self-study options.

Anabe was unwilling to accept the proposal because it was a waste of time for them, the Witchers.

"There's no need to go through all that trouble. Didn't we already discuss this before? Dividing 'Blood Frenzy' into five parts is the most appropriate. We can afford to produce magical plants of this caliber."

Yaro said, "We can afford it now, but the academy can't just stop enrolling students, right? So we can't calculate all the resources to the limit; we must leave room for maneuver."

Anabe objected, "Then there's no need to change the plan. Although the design method you're talking about requires fewer resources in the short term, it might consume several times more magical plants in the long run to achieve complete cultivation."

Even if they want to continue practicing in the future, where can they find so many magical plants?
Moreover, the environment in which magical plants grow is generally very dangerous. If the design method you mentioned is used, they will have to go through even more dangers!

This is actually harming them!

Annabe paused, then continued:

"If you want to learn 'Qi and Blood Frenzy,' you should learn it in the academy. Besides, the 'Five Animal Frolics' program is not without self-defense capabilities. Aren't they supposed to study it for five years?"

Mastering one of the Five Animal Frolics in five years is not difficult at all!
For the past five years, they've mostly stayed at the academy, so they're unlikely to encounter any danger!

Yaro stroked his smooth chin, lost in thought.

A moment later, Yaro looked to the side: "Bevin, what do you think?"

"Huh? Ah... what?" Bevin seemed a little stunned.

Yaro frowned slightly: "Why are you always spacing out? Did something happen?"

“No…no,” Bevan lowered his head. “I…I was thinking about the injured guard who came earlier. Is he…alright?”

He had actually been thinking about that unusually vivid dream from before.

He didn't know whether he should tell Teacher Yaro.

Perhaps it really was just a dream?
If I tell the teacher, will the teacher, like Captain Patton, say that I'm not mature enough, that I'm always thinking about a dream? And even if Teacher Yaro doesn't say that, and seriously considers his dream, what can he do?

When I was having that dream, my body didn't disappear.

Even if I tell them, it would only make the teacher worry for nothing, right?
Anabe, standing nearby, spoke up:
"Don't worry, I've already treated that wound with silver powder. The bleeding has stopped long ago. The injury hasn't been long, so there's no need for amputation. It's just that the recovery time might be a bit long."

Yaro reassured him, "Don't worry, witchers are very good at treating these kinds of wounds. I've also sent other witchers to deal with the monster that injured the person. If they can't handle it, I'll be there as soon as possible."

Judging from the description given by the wounded guard, the monster that attacked him was not very strong, but it was very fast. In a head-on fight, it might not even be able to defeat a single guard.

All told, it might only be a few hundred experience points.

It's impossible for Yaro to activate his magic attack and fly over to a monster that only has a few hundred experience points.

Bevan nodded: "Yes, okay, teacher, I understand... By the way, teacher, was there anything you wanted to ask me?"

Anabe repeated it.

Techniques?

Self-protection ability?

Bevin thought of his previous dream, and his heart stirred slightly.

He also wants the ability to protect himself!
As Anabe continued his narration, Bevin began to understand.

The Five Animal Frolics is a little more difficult to learn at first, but it has a higher ceiling and can be learned faster.

The new solution is easy to get started with, but its improvement speed is slow in the later stages.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Bevin asked thoughtfully, "Can't we design both options?"

Yaro smiled and said:

“Every action design needs to be tested and verified repeatedly. There are many actions in ‘Blood Frenzy’, and there are too many combinations. I don’t know how long it will take to complete it.”

As you know, I can only stay here for a maximum of six months, and there are still many things I need to take care of, so I don't have much extra time.

Therefore, it's best to establish a plan and then continuously refine it.

As Bevin thought about the giant snake head in his 'dream,' his heart began to lean in one direction.

"Teacher Yalu, I think the 'Five Animal Frolics' approach is better!"

"Oh?" Yaro asked, somewhat surprised and curious, "Why? Tell me your reasons?"

Bevin carefully chose his words and said slowly:

“Teacher Yaro, I think the most dangerous thing is that no one can solve that danger.”

Since we have the opportunity to improve, we should naturally choose the option that is more effective.

Regarding the new plan you mentioned, if we can truly master "Blood Frenzy," then redesigning a simple and quick-to-learn moveset shouldn't be too difficult, right?
