I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 46 The Real Understanding

The morning light breaks.

On the boundless plains,
Two figures sat on the edge of the hill, gazing together at the gradually brightening sky.

Dagnit did not teach Sua combat skills.

After learning that Suya possessed a talent for quickly learning combat skills, Lukan discussed with Dagonet and changed the way he taught Suya.

now,

The knight, sporting a comical mustache, explained with a serious expression:
"Combat skills generate combat runes."

"Battle markings, the birthplace of miracles."

"And when the battle markings developed through arduous training are ignited, the human body undergoes a qualitative change."

Su Yaqi asked, "Ignite the battle runes, a qualitative change?"

Regarding the battle markings, he had heard a different version of events from Meryl, who said it was a choice.

"That's true, but that's only a statement made by a small group of people, including you."

"The more common interpretation of battle runes is that they are the crystallization of the spirit formed by warriors through countless days and nights of arduous training in combat skills."

"This is actually a fallacy."

"Because combat skills are essentially a form of cultivation. Each additional combat skill learned will create a combat rune within the body."

Battle runes are the gateway to power.

The larger the door, the greater the power gained when it is opened.

The unwavering willpower forged through countless days and nights of arduous training is the key.

Open the door with the key, and you'll naturally see the scenery behind it.

At this point, Dagonet paused, gestured to Sua, and continued:
"And your current situation is like having a door that can grow almost infinitely large, but not having the key to open it."

"Or rather, such a door simply cannot be opened with a regular key."

Suya nodded, roughly understanding the meaning behind Dagonet's words.

That is,

For a normal person, battle aura, physique, and spirit complement each other to finally break through to the realm of advanced swordsman.

However, because the speed at which he learned combat skills was too overpowered, the other two skills struggled to keep up with the growth rate of his combat runes.

Physical enhancement might be achieved through food, but the mysterious and elusive nature of the spirit is something that even someone with the willpower developed by a normal person in this world cannot match with their battle runes, which are capable of almost unlimited growth.

"Therefore, we must ignite the battle runes!"

"If you were to advance to the rank of Advanced Swordsman, or even to Master, Half-Hero, Hero, or Legendary through the normal means, it would actually be a waste of your talent!"

"Once the battle runes are ignited, the burning battle runes will spontaneously ignite all subsequent extending battle runes, so no matter what realm you break through to in the future—"

"As long as you learn new combat techniques, magic, specialties, inherent abilities, and even grand magic, inherent boundaries, and mental worlds."
"These things can all be used as fuel, enabling you to continuously grow stronger at the most fundamental level!"

Suya's eyes lit up immediately.
This idea is quite novel, giving off a thrilling feeling of cultivating immortality in a martial arts world or waking up to find that everyone in the world has lost 99% of their intelligence, leaving me with only a high school level of intelligence, making me the world's most powerful brain.

He couldn't help but ask eagerly:

"Then, Dagonet, how do I ignite the battle runes?"

“It’s very simple.” Dagonet suddenly revealed a hearty smile.

"Since the key can't open the door, let's turn our will into a blazing flame and set the door on fire!"

"but."

At this point, Dagonet paused, looked at Sua, and softened his tone.
"There was no problem with this step in the first place."

"only."

Suya quickly asked, "But what? Tell me!" Dagonet looked at the excited expression on Suya's face, remained silent for a moment, and hesitated for a while.
Finally, he spoke heavily:

"Your Majesty,"

“Dagonet could sense it—”

“You are still confused. You don’t know what you want. You don’t have the traditional kind of thoughts that are common among ordinary people, like ‘I must become a high-ranking swordsman in the army, become a glorious knight, get a higher rank, improve my poor life, make my family live a good life or feel proud, or make those who look down on me feel regret.’”

"You don't have the idea that you must become something, change something, or save something, nor do you have the will to see something through to the end."

"You are always full of ambition, you always lose interest quickly, and you are always thinking about the meaning of things and the meaning of existence."

"But this is not a denigration, but a compliment. With your abilities and talents, you can easily obtain everything that allows you to survive. This is the trouble of a noble person, the shackles of your innate nobility."

But—

"You are like a feather, able to land anywhere, yet forever suspended in an empty space, unable to feel the weight of the world, nor your own weight. You can only experience a chaotic, inexplicable pain."

Suya's excited expression froze.

but,

Dagonit didn't stop. Instead, he glanced at Sua with concern, gritted his teeth, and continued to expose her:

"You learned four combat skills from Lukan, and in just two hours, you mastered them to a level of proficiency that would normally take an ordinary person several years to achieve."

"However, in the day that followed, you did not use or practice those combat techniques even once."

"If you just keep training, you can develop those abilities to a level that humans can only dream of in a very short time."

"but,"

"You didn't do it!"

"Sixty percent of your free time is spent staring at the beautiful magician next to you, but you don't talk to her or ask her to bear your children. Twenty percent of your time is spent watching the insects on the road and the white clouds in the sky. Twenty percent of your time is spent eating and resting."

Suya's smile froze completely on her face.

He admitted that the model of Meryl was indeed his ideal type. But this woman was a genius of ideas that he dared not easily mess with.

He also admitted that he was only enthusiastic about things for a short time, and that the abilities he copied in his previous life were only superficial. Even after coming to this world, he had not changed this habit.

More clearly,
I often find myself inexplicably feeling very distressed, as if nothing is meaningful, and feeling incredibly tired even though I haven't done anything all day.

but,

why?
Why did you see all of this and understand it all?
We've only known each other for a day, right?

So you didn't do anything all day but spy on your buddies?
Knight Dagonet, why is your 'Insight' even more extreme than mine, which is engraved in the talent tree?
Dagonet wanted to continue.

Suya instinctively raised her hands to cover her ears.

Enough, that's enough, Sir Dagonet!
I'm about to break down!

however,
At this moment, seeing Suya adopt such a resistant stance,
Dagonet, who usually cowers at the slightest provocation, has become unusually tough!

He raised his hand and used his powerful E-level strength to pry open Suya's hands that were covering her ears!
He turned his head and looked at Suya with a helpless yet gentle gaze.
"My King—"

"You are undoubtedly a kind king."

"Your knight, Dagonet, would like to ask you to hear a story about the Clown Knight."
