Section 10: The Journey (II)
And on the assembled ship known as the "Thorn Rose One", Marcia's theory class has been restarted.
“...... It wasn't until the Guild of Miracles that our research into the abilities really began, and unlike the Church of Radiance, which only knew mythical abilities, and unlike the Dawn Council, which turned everything against the Church, we tried to theorize the abilities and try to keep them ......as objective as possible."
Townsend sat on a pile of cables, a tobacco in his hand, and a smoke ring leisurely. Vahu didn't dare to be careless, he stood honestly in front of Marcia, staring straight at the teacher who was preaching and solving his doubts, his eyes focused on being misunderstood.
"What is an anomalous energy? It's actually a special energy that's evenly distributed across all environments, and doesn't change normally, so it's not perceived by people. However, due to changes in the environment, the ability will occasionally have an 'overreaction', and at this time, this energy will accumulate or overlap, and it can have a tacit and subtle connection with human beings. ”
"We can't see the power, but as long as we can feel it in some way, we can use it, and that's the key!"
Although he had heard it twice, Vahu nodded repeatedly, and Townsend seemed a little nonchalant.
"The first feelings of people's 'overreactions' to supernatural abilities range from skin tingling, confusion, and even soul tremors - of course this is the explanation given by the Radiant Church, whose apostles were also psychics. It has to be said that Marcia's evaluation of the church is quite mean.
"This feeling is paradoxical, and it will be mixed with other perceptions, like walking down the road alone, vaguely hearing someone calling for you, and turning your head to see but no one. Or you may notice something abnormal when you are in a daze, but when you look closely, you can't see what is abnormal. But after training, this perception will gradually become clear. ”
"Frankly, it's hard, because it's hard for the average person to grasp the subtlety, and fleeting moments only make sense for geniuses. This passage from Marcia's explanation is the point: "But fortunately, people's ability research has made great achievements in this area, and it is because of this research that we + Passion Abilitymaster Guild was born - our first president is the greatest ability researcher of all time, and the greatest pioneer and ability mentor." ”
"Vahu," Marcia asked, "do you remember what our pioneer mentor discovered?"
"Yes! I know!" "The Great Pioneer Mentor, he has discovered the subversive theory of 'active overreaction'! From now on, the Psychic no longer has to passively wait for the supernatural superpower in the surrounding environment to be over-excited, but can use his own strength to actively stimulate the surroundings and cause the surrounding super-energies to overreact!"
"That's right, that's the fundamental reason why we can learn and use modern abilities, and that's why abilities are really thriving, and why the number of Abilities has increased tenfold, hundredfold. Marcia nodded, and then asked, "So, do you remember what assumptions are the theory of active overreaction based on?"
"Yes, I know!" replied Vahu, "the theory of the Pioneer Mentor is based on the assumption that if the supernatural energies exist equally in all objects, then there should be an equal strength of supernatural energies in the human body!"
"And then?" Marcia nodded, "Go on." ”
"Yes!" Vahu had already memorized these things: "The supernatural energy that exists in our bodies is actually the most suitable source force for stimulating the surrounding supernatural energy. ”
"Because our bodies can change positions at will, we can overlap our palms, we can bend our thighs, we can curl up our upper and lower bodies. As long as we agree on movement and speed, we can adjust our body posture and accumulate as many different energy forces as possible in the same area, triggering a chain reaction of abilities within a certain range of the surrounding area!"
"That's right, in this case, the Ability Master doesn't have to wait passively, and can use the ability anytime, anywhere. The difficulty of perceiving and manipulating abilities has only begun to decrease before it can be truly put into practice. Marcia smiled and said to Vahu, "You are just getting started now, so there will be more and more movements before awakening, and when you train your perception to be sharp, it will be much better." ”
"Can you?" said Vahu, a little surprised.
"Look at Townsend, he does a lot less than you when he awakens his abilities. The guild's high-level Anomalists barely need to make any special gestures when they wake up. "I've watched master Anomalous Masters before, and they can complete the awakening process with just a few hands and feet, and by the time they see that they start moving, a wide range of abilities have already been activated." ”
"Ah......" Wahu's eyes were full of longing and yearning: "I ......"
"You have to memorize these things first," Townsend said, "Marcia is telling you this to let you know that the Psychic Master has to use his brain, rote memorization is only useful for apprentices, and if you want to climb up, the brain is the key." ”
"Yes! I remember!" Vahu turned and nodded, very submissive to Townsend. Because during this time, Townsend's guidance allowed Vahu to improve by leaps and bounds in his abilities, and his guidance again and again not only allowed him to get rid of many minor problems left by his self-taught abilities, but also allowed him to find a more direct and effective way to awaken and release.
By now, Vahu could unleash two powerful roars in a row. In other words, he basically meets the standard of an intermediate ability apprentice. Before he knew it, he had crossed the second hurdle. So if you really want to talk about it, Townsend and Marcia are essentially his supernatural mentors.
In Townsend, Vahu has actually brought himself many benefits, the most obvious being his understanding and mastery of awakening. He used to be amused by the dancing and yoga-like movements, but now, he knew that it was the apprentice who was using the most primitive way to mobilize his own abilities in order to stimulate his surroundings and make the outside powers overreact......
For Townsend, the focus is not on physical posture, but on gaining insight into the rules by which supernatural abilities naturally exist. On the basis of insight into the rules, with his wisdom and ability, he can develop the most suitable way of awakening and release. What's more, during this time, his own perception has also been trained, and he has become more sensitive and accurate than before.
At the very least, he can detect the direction and speed of the power before it manifests, and he can say goodbye to the goalkeeper's pounce action - it's nothing to fall and bruise his nose and face are swollen, the key is that Townsend can't afford to lose this person, in case there is a pond, mud pit or even a dung pit next to him when he fights with someone, do you pounce or not?
In the battle between the Adepts, the slightest hesitation will cost you your life!
