Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1249 - 910: Incorrect Fighting Style_2

Seeing this, Reiger smiled slightly.

"I have a special breathing technique here. Once you master it, you can enhance your physical fitness and improve your physical abilities. I think it’s quite suitable for you, senior sister."

That’s right, Reiger was referring to the breathing technique.

He intended to teach the principles of the breathing technique to Zenin Maki, allowing her to forge a path to strength that is uniquely her own.

Although it’s just the fundamental principles, it’s the most basic form of the breathing technique. It doesn’t, like the Sun Breath, Moon Breath, Thunder Breath, and others, develop distinct characteristics due to different schools, yet once she masters it, Zenin Maki can use this technique to enhance her own capabilities and become stronger.

Perhaps she can even, through her own efforts, devise a breathing technique unique to herself.

At the very least, Reiger believed Zenin Maki had that capability.

This belief was simple enough — it was based on her performance in the recent battle.

With Zenin Maki’s previous performance, Reiger had reasons to believe that even when facing a Grade 2 Curse Spirit, she could easily exorcise it.

As for why such a Zenin Maki was still a low-level Grade 4 Curse Mage, that was a question for the Zenin Family.

Given this senior sister’s performance, the only reason she was still a Grade 4 could be the same as Panda, being oppressed by the upper echelons of the world of sorcery.

"...Is there really such a technique?"

This time, Zenin Maki’s interest was clearly piqued.

"Will you learn it or not?"

Reiger didn’t answer but simply asked bluntly.

"Yes," Zenin Maki took a deep breath and calmly said, "It’s a rare opportunity. Let’s see if it can surprise me."

Upon hearing this, Reiger smiled and began to explain the principles of the breathing technique to Zenin Maki.

He didn’t deliberately avoid Fushiguro Megumi and others, so much so that they couldn’t help but perk up their ears and listen intently.

Unfortunately, in this regard, their skills were distinctly inferior to Zenin Maki’s. While Zenin Maki displayed a thoughtful expression, they still appeared to be half-understanding.

Once he was done guiding Zenin Maki, only Fushiguro Megumi remained who hadn’t been guided by Reiger yet.

In this regard, Reiger suddenly changed his attitude.

"Come with me for a moment, Fushiguro."

Reiger didn’t start the guidance on the spot but turned around and walked aside by himself.

This left Fushiguro Megumi slightly stunned, after which he silently stood up and followed Reiger.

The others looked at each other, witnessing the scene but no one stood up to follow them.

Thus, Reiger and Fushiguro Megumi went aside to a corner where the others couldn’t hear their conversation.

"What’s the matter?"

Fushiguro Megumi looked straight at Reiger and asked.

Reiger turned around, met Fushiguro Megumi’s gaze.

"Why do you fight like that?"

Upon opening his mouth, Reiger said something that Fushiguro Megumi couldn’t understand.

"What’s wrong with my fighting?"

Fushiguro Megumi clearly didn’t understand what Reiger meant and was dumbfounded there.

"I see, that’s how it is."

Seeing that Fushiguro Megumi wasn’t pretending, Reiger immediately understood.

"What’s wrong exactly? Is there something wrong with me?"

Fushiguro Megumi frowned.

Facing Fushiguro Megumi like this, Reiger simply threw out a sentence.

"Your fighting is too conservative."

This was Reiger’s assessment of Fushiguro Megumi.

"Conservative?"

Fushiguro Megumi still didn’t understand.

"Let me put it this way." Reiger narrowed his eyes and quietly said, "Do you always feel that no matter how strong your opponent is, you won’t be single-handedly killed?"

Fushiguro Megumi’s face stiffened and he fell silent.

Looking at Fushiguro Megumi like this, Reiger said casually.

"[Ten Shadows Technique: Demonic Void: Divine General]."

This was a name that Fushiguro Megumi could never just ignore as if he had never heard it.

"You and Teacher Gojo have both said that no Curse Mage of the [Ten Shadow Techniques] throughout history has successfully tamed this Divine General."

"So, Curse Mages who possess the [Ten Shadow Techniques] basically take this Divine General as a means to perish with their enemy, only using it once in their lifetime."

"It seems you’re like that too, am I right?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Reiger saw through Fushiguro Megumi’s thoughts, saying things others didn’t know.

"You probably think that even when facing a formidable opponent, you could risk your life to use the final Divine General of the [Ten Shadows Technique] to perish together with them, right?"

"You’re always prepared to do that in battle, ready to perish with the enemy any time."

"Because of that, you never really unleash your full potential in battle, never striving with everything to win."

"To you, winning a battle is naturally best, but losing doesn’t matter, because you can definitely take them down with you."

"Am I right?"

These calmly spoken criticisms rendered Fushiguro Megumi completely speechless.

This reaction clearly showed everyone that Reiger was speaking the truth.

"To be honest, I don’t quite understand why you so easily disregard your life." Reiger glanced at the silent Fushiguro Megumi and said, "You seem to easily sacrifice your life just to take one enemy along. While the desire to survive isn’t absent, it’s much weaker than that of ordinary people."

"This leads to you losing your will to win, your belief and determination to defeat your opponent."

"So, once you enter a combat state, whether attacking or defending, you subconsciously withdraw, failing to exert your true power."

Previously, Reiger hadn’t noticed this.

But this time, when he fought face-to-face with Fushiguro Megumi, Reiger keenly detected Fushiguro Megumi’s problem.

"In my eyes, your true strength is far more than what you currently show."

"Grade 2 Curse Mage?"

"While Zenin senior sister and Panda have low ratings due to being oppressed from above, your rating is low because of yourself."

"If you unleash your full power, show your true strength, your rating wouldn’t be lower than that of near Grade 1 Senior Inumaki, or even exceed his."

"In that state, you might even be able to exorcise that Special Grade Imagination Curse Spirit from the juvenile center on your own."

As he spoke, Reiger patted Fushiguro Megumi on the shoulder and said beside him.

"If you really want to become stronger, then adjust your mindset."

"If you can do that, you might become the strongest among you five."

"By then, even Itadori, who is training and coming back, won’t be able to defeat you."

This was Reiger’s suggestion to Fushiguro Megumi.

Of course, he said the usual line.

"Whether you listen and act, it’s up to you."

"I just think it would be a shame for someone like you to die so carelessly."

His own [Ten Shadow Techniques] were learned from Fushiguro Megumi, which was his way of returning the favor a bit to Fushiguro Megumi.

So, at least he should remind this young man and let him understand what to do in the future.

After finishing, Reiger left, leaving Fushiguro Megumi alone, standing there, silently looking at his hands.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but recall that Special Grade Imagination Curse Spirit from the juvenile center.

The monster that immobilized him back then — if he corrects his mindset and gives it his all, can he take it down on his own?

...It sounds kind of unbelievable.

But the one who said this was none other than Reiger, who exorcised that Curse Spirit and possesses the same [Ten Shadow Techniques].

No one knows the strength of that Curse Spirit better than him, nor is more aware of the potential of [Ten Shadow Techniques].

When even such a person says so, it might not be entirely without merit.

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi silently clenched his hands into fists.

Since others have said so, he might as well give it a try.

Try and see if he can truly reach that extent.
