Chapter 12 - Chapter 012: Just Simple Deduction - Did You All Fail to Learn?

Just as lively as the Butterfly Estate was the current chat group.

[Erica: "That's right, Lord Ryuga possesses unparalleled wisdom and extraordinary beauty!"]

[Erica: "Wait, that's not right! Why can you all see what's happening here?"]

Only after escaping danger did she realize that the previous events had been livestreamed.

[Tohsaka Rin: "Even if you ask us, we don't know!"]

[Madoka: "The group livestream automatically started the moment big brother went over."]

[Erica: "Let me check... I see, after inviting the cross-dimension function, group livestream is enabled by default. This function can also be manually disabled."]

Previously, although they all knew about the group cross-dimension function, due to it being a paid feature, the impoverished members had never tried it once.

And in the life-threatening emergency just now, Erica naturally couldn't worry about default settings and directly summoned Ryuga over.

Only now, upon careful examination, did she discover it was a settings issue.

[Tohsaka Rin: "I suggest not disabling it - I want to see how Lord Ryuga defeats the divine beast!"]

[Madoka: "+1"]

[Erica: "I don't mind, but we should listen to Lord Ryuga."]

As she spoke, Erica looked up at Ryuga in front of her with an inquiring gaze.

Regardless of Ryuga having just saved her, even without mentioning this, footage of powerful beings fighting could potentially leak intelligence.

Although Erica herself didn't care about this, she didn't feel she had the right to make decisions for Ryuga.

If Ryuga was unwilling, she would disable the livestream without question.

Although it would be somewhat unfair to those little sisters, with a powerful ally right in front of her, she naturally knew which was more important.

Ryuga naturally understood Erica's meaning and immediately shook his head.

"It doesn't matter."

"Knowledge should be shared and circulated. If you can gain something from it, that's your own fortune."

[Tohsaka Rin: "Hooray!"]

[Madoka: "Thank you, big brother!"]

Since Ryuga didn't mind, Erica naturally let the livestream continue.

"By the way, Lord Ryuga, the power you used just now was?"

Seeing that the divine beast boar hadn't yet climbed out of the sea, Erica, unable to contain her curiosity, couldn't help asking.

"Don't doubt it - it was also [Hermes' Boots]."

Ryuga glanced at this cautious blonde knight girl and immediately knew what she was curious about.

"You want to ask how to use this spell technique for dimensional leaping?"

"Yes!"

Erica nodded like a pecking chicken.

This was her commonly used magic - when would she be able to reach this level?

"It's actually quite simple. The [Hermes' Boots] spell technique belongs to the conceptual equipment system of magic. Unlike traditional mana mechanism system magic, the core of this technique isn't acceleration or weight reduction, but the divine name."

Ryuga analyzed the world's ether magical environment while casually explaining.

"Divine name?"

Erica's eyes were curious.

"That's right. The theoretical foundation of this magical system is idol worship, so the amount of mana provided isn't actually important. What matters is the imitation of the divine name - this is the key to improving the technique's effectiveness."

Ryuga spoke eloquently.

"As a god, Hermes' existence spans Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology. His divine roles are diverse - he's the messenger of the gods and one of the twelve Olympian gods, while also encompassing domains of alchemy and magic. In esoteric traditions, he's even called the Hidden God."

"However, for this technique, we only need his divine role as the guardian god of travelers, so when constructing the technique, we must try to exclude interference from other divine roles."

"In the mythological period, symbols representing Hermes were often marked near villages, towns, temples, and national borders, representing him as the god of boundaries and crossing boundaries."

"For travelers, seeing Hermes' symbols meant they understood they had entered the next territory. Travelers often prayed for Hermes' protection. Based on this belief, the Hermes' Boots technique has the effect of enhancing agility and foot strength..."

"...The original technique you use is constructed from this belief. Can you understand up to this point?"

After explaining the technique's principles at extreme speed, Ryuga confirmed.

"Umm... I can probably understand about half!"

Erica's expression already looked somewhat dizzy.

Actually, even half was her forcing herself to keep up - in reality, she only understood less than thirty percent.

And this was already her best performance.

[Kanae: "..."]

[Madoka: "..."]

The other two without much foundation were completely lost.

[Madoka: "It feels harder than math - I can't understand at all."]

[Madoka: "How about you, Rin-Nee?"]

[Madoka: "@Tohsaka Rin"]

[Tohsaka Rin: "I only understood twenty percent, but it doesn't matter - I've taken notes on the key parts!"]

For this level of instruction from a master even greater than a Second Magic user, Tohsaka Rin held a reverent heart.

Whether she could understand or not, she'd write it down first!

This scholarly behavior immediately earned the respect of two underachievers.

[Madoka: "Rin-Nee is amazing!"]

[Kanae: "So diligent - little Rin will definitely become strong in the future."]

Seeing their admiring words, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.

Just as she was about to be modest, she suddenly heard Ryuga continue speaking in the group livestream, and she hurriedly switched the interface over, listening attentively to the following explanation.

"Understanding half is enough. After grasping the construction method of the old technique, the optimization approach becomes crystal clear."

Hearing Ryuga say this, everyone's eyes glazed over, not understanding where exactly it was "crystal clear."

Suddenly they felt like being in class, not understanding, but being called upon by the teacher to answer questions.

Fortunately, Ryuga wasn't asking questions - after speaking casually, he immediately provided the principles.

"Obviously, to change the technique's effect, we need to precisely adjust the corresponding divine roles of the technique. Here, we need to abandon the broad divine role of protector of travelers and enter its core - namely, the power of boundaries and crossing boundaries."

"In the mythological era, boundaries between nations often represented boundaries between different mythologies - that is, they could represent boundaries between divine domains. Hermes, who could cross different boundaries, naturally possessed power to cross divine domain-level barriers. And so-called divine domains were considered another dimensional space. Therefore, Hermes naturally possessed the power of dimensional leaping."

"And based on the previous technique improvement for core replacement..."

"In summary, the dimensional leaping technique can be easily constructed."

Using the high-speed divine words he had comprehended without a teacher, in an extremely short time, Ryuga laid out all the technique's core elements without reservation.

"If you understand the principles I've explained, others aside, Erica should be able to directly use the advanced technique."

Saying this, Ryuga asked the blonde girl who had fallen into contemplation.

"Did you learn it?"

"..."

Erica, whose eyes had completely spiraled into mosquito coils, forced out a smile that wasn't too rude.

She had failed to learn.
