Chapter 6: The Study of Tsukahara's History

A fist sprang away, and a heavy jab rushed out.

Without waiting for the fist to finish, the palm of his hand was released and turned into a palm posture, as if he was holding something, the boy pressed the air in his hand to his knees, and at the same time lifted his knees, which was a knee hit!

This is a common move in Muay Thai.

Prick the knee.

Muay Thai has quite a lot of characteristics compared to other boxing techniques.

Compare it to other martial arts, Muay Thai has arms raised high to protect the head, while boxing has been curled up in the chest.

Muay Thai fighters always stand with one leg slightly raised and slightly bent, while in other martial arts, most of them land on both feet.

These two movements basically determine the attack weapons of Muay Thai: punch and knee.

When battling famous Muay Thai fighters, it's not their fists that you really need to watch out for, it's your knees, and a powerful blow from that sturdy kneecap can cause quite a bit of trouble.

And according to the height, the knee blow will basically fall on the enemy's lower abdomen, which is the softest place in the human body, which is full of organs.

Muay Thai values that power.

Presumably, Assassin X chose this punch method as a disguise, also considering its power.

Tsukahara thought so, and his body continued to repeat the movements, as if he wanted to use mechanical training to make his body muscles completely memorize this routine.

Except for monsters like Heroic Spirits, in actual combat, few people can think while fighting, so except for the [rest time] when the war starts, everyone is basically in a state of inability to think. Then you need to work weekdays.

In the face of the enemy's punch, it is too late for the brain to think before acting. The body has to form a reflex: the eyes see the punch, and the body moves before the brain.

That's why Tsukahara keeps repeating basic movements.

Let your body memorize these tricks completely.

Fists, elbows, knees, ankles, these places are all to be polished into terrifying weapons.

For modern magicians, learning magic is not enough.

The body is a vessel of magic, and how much a container can hold depends on the container itself.

Therefore, in order to make himself better able to use magic, Tsukahara Mingshi is making up for martial arts.

And what he chose was Muay Thai.

Although when this kind of boxing technique was mentioned, Rin Tosaka's face clearly showed a look of surprise and incomprehension.

There is nothing difficult to understand, Muay Thai is not a particularly commendable thing in Thailand, and the life-fighting style of Muay Thai will cause Muay Thai fighters to accumulate a large number of dark diseases in their bodies, which is very harmful to the body. This kind of boxing technique is not suitable for magicians to practice.

Because everyone's goal: to strengthen their flesh by learning martial arts. Instead of [using fighting skills to defeat the enemy], this premise cannot be wrong. If it is said that in order to be able to defeat the enemy with fighting skills, he does not hesitate to damage his own body, then it is even more contrary.

Rin Tosaka vaguely advised him whether to try Bajiquan, which has become a martial art passed down from generation to generation by the Tosaka family. Although it was not her father who taught Rin Tosaka Bajiquan, but a priest surnamed Yanfeng, this boxing technique from the East was absorbed by Rin Tosaka into the family tradition of the Tosaka family because it was too easy to use.

Compared with Muay Thai, Bajiquan is not inferior in power, and it also causes less damage to the body than Muay Thai. Generally speaking, Chinese martial artists have martial virtues, and Muay Thai that attaches too much importance to fighting for life is really too far from the martial arts that ordinary martial artists say.

However, Tsukahara declined.

For him, Muay Thai has a special meaning.

After really starting to learn Muay Thai, Tsukahara Mingshi was able to understand the assassin X to some extent.

He was like the boxing he was practicing.

It's powerful, but it's also very damaging to yourself.

The better and stronger he is, the more damage he will do to himself.

It is a way of life that makes people feel pathetic to hurt others on the premise of hurting themselves.

Assassin X was the target that Tsukahara had been dreaming of for two years, and Tsukahara could say that he didn't hate this person.

Overcoming the psychological shadow of the past does not mean that we no longer think about this person, but that we can recall him, and moreover, we can remember him with a normal heart, remember him, and ...... With a longing for him, continue to live.

Going to China once, the biggest help for Tsukahara is that he can finally look directly at his past.

Although, there is still confusion, although there are still worries.

But, yes, I'm the winner.

Himself, but he was chosen by the assassin X and became the victor!

If he doesn't show some energy, isn't it equivalent to telling others that in this Holy Grail War, his choice is wrong, and the person who loses to himself is a joke?

Even if it is stubborn, the winner must shoulder everything of the loser.

The first step is to become someone who makes you feel good.

Repeatedly exercising his body until his muscles began to ache and his arms began to go numb, Tsukahara did not stop his training.

Because, not enough. How much hard training did that person do for the final victory in the Holy Grail War?

I want to show him that he is a good enough person.

Then, at the moment of the end of his life, he can chase him to hell and punch him hard.

Then you will take him by the collar and press him to the ground and beat him.

Tsukahara Mingshi's eyes were filled with sweat, prickly, very painful, and sweat ran down the corners of his eyes. Who cares if it's sweat or not?

Next to him, Lohia was firing her bow and arrows, and in order not to let her shooting feel go away, she would shoot at least a hundred arrows a day to keep her hand. If anyone ever saw her shoot, they would be amazed.

One hundred arrows, arrows and arrows, a long string, extremely spectacular.

This is now known as Robin Hood's technique in shooting terms, where the latter arrow hits the tail of the previous arrow with unmistakable accuracy. This used to be Lohia's treasure.

The moment she became a human, she was not a Heroic Spirit, and naturally lost the so-called Noble Phantasm and Heroic Spirit skills. Now, although she has excellent physical fitness and magic circuits, it is all at the level of human beings. Fortunately, my treasure is technical, and with a little training, I can recover.

Although the Japanese bow is much longer than her usual bow and has a subtle feel, the overall shooting feel is much the same.

It's another treasure, and it can't be used at all.

It's Leonardo da Vinci's gun.

Although the gun can be used by ordinary people, at its core is the treasure of Lohia, the oak bow. When she herself became human, all the mysteries associated with her disappeared and were transformed into beings that could be explained by modern knowledge.

Naturally, the oak bow also lost its power and became a normal bow.

Leonardo da Vinci's rifle lost its power as a result, and now only the futuristic shape can be used as an ornament, and it is impossible to shoot when the trigger is pulled. However, Mr. Ebernard was very interested in this, and regarded it as a symbol of the perfect fusion of science and magic, so he borrowed it from Tsukahara and used it for research.

But that's okay, right?

Because, both of them no longer need to fight.

It is rare to get the life of a human being, of course, to live like a human being, not to do some dangerous things, and to enjoy life to the fullest.

That's Lohia's goal.

It's rare to be born as a human being, so I want to live seriously for once.

Because...... She is a fiction.

Neither Robin Hood nor anything else, if it weren't for the power of the Holy Grail, she would have disappeared by now. In any case, I don't want to just leave the game.

I want to find meaning in life. The meaning of life.

Tsukahara Mingshi was so tired that his whole body was paralyzed, and Luo Xiya came over intimately to help him wipe the sweat off his body.

This is the annex of the Tosaka family, which was improved by Tosaka Shirou into a place similar to a Japanese swordsmanship dojo, and in a Western-style building, there is suddenly a Japanese-style building, which is out of place The deviation of the architectural style makes people feel wrong.

However, from a practical point of view, this is not bad. A wide field and the ability to practice martial arts, Shirou Tosaka belongs to the type of magic circuit that is not particularly good, and he prefers close combat to magic battles, using projection magic to create his own famous sword magic swords, and then swinging them to win the battle.

This is the way that the crimson archer, the Valhallon Palace, taught him how to fight.

That person is the existence that condensed the existence of Emiya Shirou to the peak. His fighting style is the most suitable fighting style for Emiya Shirou. Presumably, he went through countless trade-offs and countless attempts before finally deciding to use this way of fighting.

In order to maximize the training of this fighting style, Shirou was almost semi-forced, and forcibly built a Japanese-style training ground in the Tosaka family's Western-style mansion.

Rin Tosaka's original words are: Since you want to do it, then you must do the best worthy of the name of Tosaka!

Of course, although it seems to be very unwilling, it is actually full of love for her husband. So after the two reached a consensus, there was this big exaggeration.

Moreover, Shirou used to be a member of the kyudo club, and he belonged to the type that was quite good at bows and arrows. The fighting style of the Valhalla Palace Shirou also includes shooting the sword as an arrow. In order to do this, Shirou must not neglect his daily bow and arrow training.

Otherwise, when necessary, the shot misses, which is embarrassing.

Thankfully, Shirou continued to exercise, so until his old age, until the Sixth Holy Grail War, he still maintained considerable combat effectiveness, and the accuracy of his bow and arrows was not affected.

Noticing that the training on Tsukahara's side had stopped, Shirou, who was quietly meditating in another corner, got up and said with a smile, "What, are you already going to rest?"

"Ah...... Sorry......"

Tsukahara Mingshi seemed to feel that he was blaming himself, and immediately smiled awkwardly, and was about to get up, Shirou hurriedly said: "No, no, let's rest, rest, the necessary rest is the secret of exercise." If you ignore the limits of your body and ask your body to do some excessive training, it will be harmful. ”

"Ah...... Sorry......"

He repeated it again.

This humble attitude of apologizing immediately is also the reason why Shirou feels that he is pleasing to the eye the more he looks at it.

"So—would you like to take a break once in a while?"

"Rest?"

When Tsukahara Mingshi heard this word, he was a little vague for a while, and he didn't know how to respond to him.

In order to catch up with the others quickly, Tsukahara should not have time to rest.

However, after thinking about it, if you don't maintain sufficient physical strength, the subsequent training will be half the effort, right? As a person who often plays the cultivation galgame, he naturally knows very well that there is an inherent setting in this kind of cultivation game, and when the fatigue is low, the training of other data grows quickly. This also shows that you should not be too tired......

Tsukahara is a bit difficult to weigh...... Before that, though, Lohia tapped him on the shoulder, signaling that he should go home.

"Think about it. I got a couple of tickets to the amusement park through acquaintances, and if you want to go, say hello in advance. ”

Shirou said this gently, and watched the two leave. The inside of the house was brightly lit, but it was already dark outside, and the moon was bright and clear in the night sky, but it was not dull.

Is...... Thanksgiving them.

During the day, he insisted on his studies, and at night he practiced magic at Tosaka's house. The dual identity overwhelms them.

Thinking about it this way, I was so busy when I was a student with Rin Tosaka. It was a really hard time.

In which warehouse will I practice magic every day, and I will use the little bit of magic knowledge I have mastered to practice.

Not only is Tosaka still good at learning, but he is also excellent in the field of magicians, and he is a member of the Tosaka family, which is very elegant.

Recalling these past events, Shirou quietly looked at the lights inside the mansion, and without anyone else's explanation, he also knew that it must be Rin Tosaka teaching Mina Tosaka magic knowledge. The training of the two children is separated, after all, Mina Tosaka and Tsukahara Mingshi have completely different progress, so they can only be taught separately. It's like a make-up class, where students are divided into classes according to their age. Tsukahara Mingshi is still a magician who doesn't fall into the stream!

"Well, but that's part of growth!"

Shirou said this, pinning his ardent hopes on them, while himself, silently sat back on the mat before him, and continued to meditate.

————————————————

When I got home, my first feeling was cold.

Compared with the temperature, the fact that there is no smell of people makes people feel more sad.

With the sound of the key opening the door, there is no feedback in the room, and when the light is turned on, it is a clean room that makes people feel hairy, and there is no trace of life. Rohiya and Tsukahara have a very tacit understanding, one walked to the bathroom to put the bath water, and the other walked to the kitchen, although supper is not a lifestyle worth promoting, but for two young people who have just had a lot of physical exertion, it is better for the body to add a little food before going to bed.

The point is not to be burdensome to the body, and it is better to have something that is fluid and easy to digest.

Lohiya skillfully opens the stove, and with the development of science and technology, it is becoming more and more convenient. She is very grateful to the Holy Grail for giving her common sense of life, which can be mastered directly without learning.

Filling the pan with water, letting the pan heat first, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, she picked up the kitchen knife and took a tomato and an egg from the refrigerator.

Over the years, she has become more and more adept at this life skill.

It's getting faster and better. More and more proficient, more and more like a human.

If Rohija were to be thrown into the street now, everyone out of ten would think that this person was a human being, not some fictional being.

Just practice herself, and occasionally sigh, the power of the Holy Grail is really powerful.

Although I don't know how the original version is, this substitute made with a dragon seal has a really powerful effect. Lohia has acquired a body, obtained a magic circuit, and at the same time maintained the combat effectiveness of the Servant level to the maximum. If there is a fight, I'm afraid that seventeen or eighteen old men will not be enough for her to fight.

The Holy Grail is called the universal wishing machine, and it's really true.

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm too selfish, and I betray the master's wishes for the sake of my own birth.

Karl put it this way: "Human desires should be used for their own sake." ”

He explained Tsukahara's desire to save the Chinese as "wanting to satisfy his desire to become a savior or an unsung hero." That, he said, was an arrogant desire that shouldn't exist.

Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem so reasonable.

Lohia would choose to help him, attracted solely by what he said: he promised himself to live as a human being.

This condition is too tempting.

How surprising is it that an existence that has been fabricated out of thin air can have a life of its own?

She skillfully sliced tomatoes into small pieces and threw them into the water.

Of course, tomato soup is usually fried with tomatoes and then filled with water, but for Lohia, who was born in the forest, the fact that tomatoes are fried always makes her have a wasteful association.

It seems that there is also a debate about whether tomatoes belong to fruits and vegetables, but this kind of thing is irrelevant to Lohia. Throwing away the remaining piece of pedicle in her hand, she licked the juice on her finger and thought: As long as it's delicious, it doesn't matter what it is, right?

"Lohia, do you want to wash first?"

"Hmm...... No, you go first. ”

The two had a lively conversation.

"Na...... Lohia. ”

There was a subtle sound of water being pushed away from the bathroom, and the warm sound of Tsukahara Mingshi being wrapped in water vapor.

"Amusement park...... Do you want to go?"

"I don't care, what about you?"

While savoring the taste on a small plate, Lohia responded.

But to be reasonable, this action is meaningless. Because Lohiya advocates the taste of the food itself, she rarely uses seasonings, not to mention pepper and soy sauce, and even rarely puts salt. But looking at Lohia's own satisfied expression, she should still like it herself, right?!

"Hmm...... Me too. Sure enough, at this time, you should continue training, right?"

Tsukahara himself didn't make up his mind. After all, he put a little too much burden on himself. You have to work hard to become a powerful magician who lives up to the name of the winner of the Holy Grail War.

"Hmm...... So, do you want to just accept it? It should be okay to take a break once in a while, right?"

Suddenly, Lohia changed her tune.

It occurred to me. That's the kind of person you have, your own master.

Obviously very weak, but too hard.

It's obviously insufficient, but it's too serious.

In fact, he didn't have to live so tired.

There are still studies on weekdays, and tomorrow happens to be a rest day, so it's okay to just let go of everything and let him take a break, right?

Thinking so, Lohia changed her story.

"Do you want to go to an amusement park?"

"After all, it's a place I've never been, but I'm still interested. ”

"Hmm—let's go!"

Sure enough, when he expressed his interest, Tsukahara Mingshi also changed his words. He's such a person, a person who thinks too much about other people, a gentle person.

He used to think that the restriction "you can't sit idly by and ignore the helpless" was given to him by Assassin X.

However, this is not the case at all. This one, though it seems difficult to understand. However, this is the nature of Tsukahara Mingshi.

"I hope to arrive early tomorrow. ”

"Ahaha, yes, are you looking forward to it?"

"yes, I'm looking forward to it. ”

Lohia responded, adding half a sentence in her heart: Because, this is your rare day off.
