The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 537
Giant of the Sun (4)
Two-in (鬪引).
Lennok quietly reflected on the words that innocence had mentioned.
“It’s a way to move your body with your mind….”
“We call it Tuin because it is the power that leads warriors who have reached their limit to fight again.”
Innocent stood up lowered his gaze and answered.
“A way to deal with mental power that does not exist in its original form. “It is an application of imagery that re-establishes the miracle as a technology that allows warriors who have reached their limit to move once more in moments of desperation.”
“….”
Lennok did not know what Crood Azlan was talking about.
Humans are not simply machines that cannot fight when all their magic and stamina are exhausted.
Weren’t there many cases where the powerful enemies who risked their lives to fight against Lennok honed their imagination to the extreme and drew out more power than they possessed?
A miracle that allows you to take one more step at the end of everything exhausted using only the power of your heart.
Walking on a heart that still remains with a body that has been scraped to the ground.
Turyeonmun was saying that the expression of fighting spirit which is inherently incomprehensible can be established and used as a technique.
“If that’s what you mean then it’s understandable why your granddaughter just reacted that way.”
Lennok leaned back on the military officer’s floor and winked at Caria.
Caria looked slightly surprised and averted her gaze. The sparring just now probably wasn’t a very good memory for her.
“It’s a way to draw out non-existent psychic power so it wouldn’t be a power that can be judged by the concept of martial arts.”
“Hmm.”
“It seems close to an extreme technique that could be thrown with a gambler. “I’m not learning martial arts because I need that kind of strength.”
From what I just heard isn’t it closer to a gambling move that could be used to somehow continue the attack or defense after expending all of one’s mind and body in battle?
There may be a way to utilize it somehow but that wasn’t what Lennok originally meant when he wanted to learn martial arts from innocent.
In that way it is possible to create a number of gambling moves that are close to improvisation even with Lennok’s power.
What Lennok wants is to use this poor physical condition to create possibilities in a different direction than the present.
The image of a kaleidoscope is the power that can bring such diverse experiences and possibilities into reality more specifically and powerfully than anything else.

Therefore an opportunity was needed to clearly establish a fighting method that uses the body rather than simply being a magician.
At least the technology called Two-In that I had heard about so far was far from the concept or use that Lennok hoped for.
“It’s not wrong. Even in the text actual practice of martial arts is strictly prohibited.”
Innocent accepted obediently.
“Moving the body with the mind means in other words that the overflowing spirit surpasses the physical vessel. “There are quite a few people who have gone crazy while focusing on that concept.”
Innocence shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Can you imagine what would happen to a human being if he were consumed by the images that lead a warrior into battle and went crazy?”
“….”
“Even after their body and mind die they become ghosts that move endlessly following the images they devoured.”
“Are you saying that you obviously knew that and offered me the skill called Two-in in return?”
“Offering to teach you Tuyin is by no means a ploy to jeopardize your spirit.”
Innocence opened his mouth with a thoughtful expression.
“Rather since I am a wizard of your level I would say it is a possible method.”
“What do you mean?”
“I watched your sparring with Karia and watched how you fight. “It was truly impressive.”
“….”
“A weak movement that reacts within the limits of athletic ability. An awkward movement that has no sense of utility other than directly manipulating the body to fight. “Overwhelming cognitive ability and judgment that can overcome such shortcomings.”
Innocence said with his eyes shining sharply.
“That is proof that you are discussing even the movements of your own body in the realm of calculation and judgment but have not learned any skills or martial arts. “This is something that can never happen to someone with average physical abilities.”
“that….”
“Moreover the fact that you were not one-sidedly overwhelmed in the sparring with Caria in that way is proof that the method you chose was not wrong.”
Although Lennok possessed combat intelligence judgment and reading abilities comparable to those of high-ranking physical talents he did not actually learn any martial arts or techniques.
Although his mind has reached a level that surpasses that of a high-level warrior his body is actually a blank slate no different from that of an ordinary person.
Because innocence is precisely this condition Lennok was asserting that it was the most suitable condition for learning Tuin.
But Lennok shook his head at those words of innocence.
“The reason I didn’t lose in sparring just now was because there wasn’t enough information about me. “Once you get used to the fact that you are engaged in hand-to-hand combat through magical manipulation it will become easier to exploit gaps.”
“….”
“It is true that the method has many loopholes and we are looking for ways to make up for them. Do you think the technology called 2IN can serve the purpose I desire?”
My condition improved significantly after taking Archangel’s Tears.
However even with a body doused in painkillers and stimulants Lennok was thoroughly avoiding overexerting himself in sparring with Caria.
He is in a situation where he must immediately follow Innocence and participate in an operation to a closed area to investigate the secrets of the Black Consumer Project.
But if Innocence is now recommending Lennok to take the risk of learning Two-in shouldn’t there be at least a certain price in return?
“Those who learn tuin are essentially learning how to control and express their own images in a different way.”
Innocence answered.
“The image is an extension of the martial arts or techniques previously learned. It doesn’t mean much to the completer who has obtained the microcosm. But what if a practitioner who is strong enough in mind and heart to learn martial arts has never learned martial arts or techniques?”
“….”
“If you don’t learn any martial arts or techniques what you end up with will be your own image.”

Only then did Lennok realize what Innocence was trying to say and slowly turned his gaze away.
“Perhaps it may be possible to bring out the images contained within you in the form of a microcosm rather than a magnetic realm.”
* * *
A huge training hall built behind the main building of Turyeonmun Gate.
Several warriors wearing uniforms were engaged in a fierce battle over one practitioner.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
Shock waves filled with magical power erupted one after another hitting the stone wall but the inorganic-looking woman calmly accepted them.
“…!!”
One by one without hesitation or haste. Just as it is unfazed by a fierce attack.
It stops the shaking by precisely manipulating the five spheres that circle around it.
The woman’s body quickly rotated as the fist struck between the ribs solar plexus respiratory tract and internal organs.
Kagagak!!
He escapes the siege by pointing out the pulse of the joint work which is so complicated and elaborate that it is difficult to even recognize the proper order.
The intricately intertwined flow of anticipation and ripples unraveled like a skein of thread and unraveled like a wave in its place.
Immediately after that the warriors who had launched a vicious attack took a step back and politely bowed their heads.
“Hey it’s ball time. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
Illya wiping the sweat flowing down her face struggled to stand upright and nodded towards them.
said Lennok who was looking at the woman with innocence outside the training hall.
“Androids sweat like that too.”
“hmm. “Have you already noticed?”
Lennok answered calmly.
“Professor Richellen and I weren’t the only ones who entered Area 6.”
At that time he was a talented person who entered the closed area together under the pretext of escorting Lennok and Aris and even participated in the operation to shoot down the mobile fortress.
A member of Cybrid Echo and a physically capable person who wields five ultra-vibrating spears.
Illya had also already been invited by Tu Lian-wen and was attending this event.
“But I didn’t expect to receive reinforcements from Cybrid Echo. “The scale of the operation is bigger than I thought.”
Cybrid Echo whose members are mostly cyborgs or androids is an organization with a unique position within the Vulcan.
Even before the prohibition was lifted it had its feet ambiguously in both shaded and sunny areas and its technology and products did not discriminate between markets.
It was a loophole in the law that arose because members of an organization called Cybrid Echo were not officially recognized as human beings.
Is a cyborg whose entire body has been converted into a machine human? Are androids which are infinitely close to humans just machines?
It is natural that they who play around with ethics and morality machines and human justice are free and are not protected by city government regulations or laws.
Therefore it is an organization that maintains an ambiguous distance from other organizations but does not have an antagonistic relationship.
It is surprising that like the National Guard incident at the time reinforcements were approved even though there was no direct request for cooperation from the city government.
Meanwhile Illya found this place and immediately walked out of the training hall.
“Azlan.”
“Is your training going well?”
Illya quietly nodded at the words of innocence.
“On the contrary it seems like I am being taken into consideration.”
Innocent said with a smile as he swept his white hair.
“How do you feel about actually practicing the text together?”
“It’s incredibly organized and orderly.”
“Is that so?”
“There is no logic to the training method or process but it is imbued with tips that have been cultivated through experience over a long period of time. “I learned a lot.”
“No logic….”
Illya looked back at the training ground ignoring her slightly shocked innocence and muttered.
“If possible I would like to stay here for a long time and make up for what I lack but since Ban is here it is probably time to leave.”
In response to her naturally looking back at Lennok Lennok quietly nodded.
“It’s been a while.”
“This is the first time since the National Guard incident right? Ironically I never thought we would meet again because of what happened at the time.”
Ilya smiled slightly shook hands and then said wiping away her sweat.
“I heard it was an operation for the safety of the city. “Please leave the task of standing at the forefront to me.”
A level 8 spearman and a level 7 spear user.
Even considering the grand justification of entering the closed area this is a team whose level has been raised to an absurd degree.
As Innocence and Illya are at the forefront it would be okay for Lennok to focus on his role as a rearguard.
“First of all does this mean we have met the minimum conditions?”
Gongbaek said that and turned away leaving the two alone.
“Could you please wait a moment? “I will also bring in the appointees who have been summoned for this matter.”
The look of innocence disappeared without any time to reply.
Ilya who was secretly observing Lennok’s thoughts opened her mouth again with difficulty.
“Actually I was a little surprised because I didn’t expect Ban to participate in this operation. “You suffered serious injuries…”
“….”
“Of course it would be a great help if you participated but wouldn’t it be better to think about your health first?”
“There was a deal.”
Innocence said that the possible achievements of fully mastering Two-in will not stop at simply freeing his body.
Bringing out the image of the magnetic field in the form of a microcosm.
It was a possibility that bordered on optimism but I couldn’t help but give it a try after hearing that.
If I could bring out the image of the kaleidoscope in the form of a microcosm I might be able to solve Lennok’s current concerns.
In the end Lennok agreed to learn the skill called Two-in from Gyeongbae during the operation in exchange for this.
When I told Illya about my innocence and what had happened in a somewhat veiled way she looked slightly surprised.
“okay. “I didn’t know that a wizard of Ban’s caliber would care about physical training.”
“It looks like you’ll be dealing with Tulianmun’s warriors while you wait. “What was it like to have actual experience with Yangji’s armed forces organization?”
Since you have decided to learn Tuyin you need to research in more detail the techniques and martial arts used by Tuyunmun.
Coincidentally Illya was also dealing with warriors from Tulianmun while waiting for the others so she would be able to give some good advice.
Ilya looked worried at Lennok’s words.
“Uhm… I don’t know how to explain it. “This is an area that is difficult to make others understand.”
Illya who was thinking while saying that shook her head and opened her mouth.
“Compared to the fact that organizations in the bright regions specialize in training superhumans isn’t there a lot of that happening in the shadows?”
“It’s almost as good as nothing.”
“Considering how important the presence or absence of a professional educational institution is in different fields it is normal for the power difference between sunny and shaded areas to be overwhelming.”
After exchanging greetings with the warriors who were engaged in sparring with her just moments ago Illya spoke as she stood in a vacant lot in a corner.
“However even though some time has passed since the ordinance was lifted the balance on one side has not been disrupted. “What do you think is the reason?”
Lennok responded immediately to Illya’s words.
“Are you trying to say that the existence of educational institutions is not very effective in the field of training superhumans?”
“It means that it has its own merits. Don’t superhumans in the shadows survive real battles become stronger and naturally find the best method that suits them?”
Lennok laughed inadvertently at those words.
“Being able to glorify what happens on the floor in such a way is an ability.”
The words were plausible but it was somewhat different from all the obscene behavior that Lennok had seen in the outskirts.
Isn’t it a waste of rhetoric to apply to criminals in the outskirts where betrayal backstabbing theft arson murder and abandonment occur frequently?
Illya also cleared her throat slightly wondering if she hadn’t thought about that at all.
“…Hmm anyway it is undeniable that you develop your aptitude more freely in the process. However the way the organizations I have experienced fostering superhumans is completely different.”
“In what way?”
“Rather than providing order they try to confine practitioners within it.”
This is quite an extreme statement considering that he was praising Tulianmun’s training method.
“We present a standard that has been established over a long period of time and history and continue to push each person into it. “If you meet the standards you move up and if you don’t you get left behind.”
“That’s an interesting perspective….”
Only then did Lennok understand what Illya meant when she said that each person’s method has its merits.
The advantage is that unlike the shadowy places where people die like trash we can train skilled superhumans in a stable manner.
However in order to maintain the system individuality is completely killed and people are forced to fit into the logic of the system.
Can we say that the logic of Tulianmun is to some extent related to the background of establishing the technique called Tuyin?
“If the trainee does not fit the training course provided by Turyeonmun the time to find the aptitude will inevitably be slowed down.”
Ilya said.
“An excellent practitioner will be able to recognize why the training method is not suitable and quickly change direction. “But these are probably only very few exceptions.”
“But it is also true that we cannot deny the fact that training curricula such as Tulianmun are efficient.”
A deep voice came from behind Lennok.
“In the end it’s just a matter of direction. “It is impossible to judge which side is right and which is wrong.”
An overwhelming physique that far exceeds the height of Lennok and Innocent.
The appearance of a majestic bird-headed giant resembling an eagle perched on a thick neck is impressive.
Lennok frowned slightly at the appearance of a completely unexpected acquaintance.
“…Felix?”
“You were telling an interesting story. Have you finally become interested in the system in which the city operates?”
Felix’s beaky eyes seemed to be looking down at Lennok as if he were something special.
“For a wizard like you it wouldn’t be a bad thing to broaden your knowledge in this area. In the end such talents may come together to help the city’s gradual development. Have you ever heard of the recently developed anti-gravity technology?”
“You’re talking about something that doesn’t matter right now. “What’s going on?”
“What does it mean that I am at Tulian Gate?”
Felix snorted lightly between his beaks and grinned.
“This operation to resolve the distortion inside the closed area. I also got to participate. “Please take care of me.”
“With this the minimum amount of power has been gathered.”
Innocence walks into the training hall for the last time looking somewhat tired.
The clear look in his eyes when he was talking about martial arts with Lennok just a moment ago has suddenly returned to a gaze that is somewhat cloudy and hot just like the first time.
He looked around and nodded slowly rubbing his temples as if he had a headache.
“I don’t know if the number of members will increase in the future but if we are ready we are ready to leave. Do we need more time?”
“Are you planning to head straight to the closed area?”
“There is a place you must go to be granted access. “They are the people in power who established this operation and entrusted them with full authority.”
If innocence is enough to say that they are definitely the best old gangsters in the city government.
“I didn’t know the Senate would be so active in increasing troops. “The commotion has not been resolved due to differences of opinion over the exhibition agenda…”
“no. Not the Senate.”
As soon as he heard those words innocence shook his head.
“More up.”
