"Well, I can't help it, you know?" The man grumbled. "I'm no scientist. I just feel my way through these things."
"Master Reina had a very broad and thorough framework for her field that distilled her understanding of assassinations," Rui insisted. "Why don't you have one for mental techniques."
"Hah, assassinations are super simple and easy. Don't compare them to the most complex and inscrutable existence in this universe." The man snorted.
"Which is...?"
"The mind, young man, the mind." He got up, tapping the side of his head. "We know very little to nothing about how it works. Most mental masters rely on the fact that they too have minds to get past a lack of theoretical understanding and gain a more instinctual understanding or an understanding through lots of trial and error. But as for the core theory..."
He shrugged. "Perhaps only Martial Sages and Martial Transcendents understand more about it."
"You're telling me you have trouble understanding the mind despite having a Martial Mind and a Martial Path centered around minds?" Rui scoffed with skepticism.
"We know, and we do. The issue is that too many of them cross too many lines or are unknown, so their utility becomes low," He shrugged, sighing. "We're going to have to wait for someone who is both great at mental techniques and also possesses an intimate understanding of the fundamental nature of mind. Perhaps they will figure things out."
Rui remained silent. He actually had the ability to organize and categorize mental techniques in a broader framework that was consistent, accurate, and reliable. But that was for another time.
It was not too much of an acute problem, just made his life more inconvenient.
"The only mental techniques I have are supplementary and one misdirection technique," Rui explained. "I want to learn the most effective principles for various kinds of mental techniques spanning across offensive and supplementary fields. I have a powerful mind, thus I'm not content learning just one or two mental techniques."
"Hm, I'm glad that you feel that way," The Master grew more serious. "Because that misdirection technique of yours irritates me."
Rui frowned. That was not what he expected to hear. "Why? I thought it was a remarkably powerful technique that would impress you."
lightsΝοvel "It is precisely because it is such a powerful technique that it pisses me off!" The man barked. "You are capable of such powerful misdirection, and what do you use it for?"
His expression crinkled with disdain. "To make people ignore you? That's it? You can do so much more! I'm glad you came here. That idiot assassin would have buried your talent for mental techniques!"
