Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 547

[Don’t try to feel useless, try to see.]

It is about half a year since I started training in earnest.

In the situation where I had been beaten for a while and collapsed, Pazon looked at me and frowned.

[How many times have I told you that if you leave it only to your instincts and move, you will end up like that.]

I also had to frown at what Pazon said.

[It’s too late if you watch and move.]

The purpose of this training is to block the movement of the Faison.

Only when he succeeded in that was he able to start training for the second ceremony of Tuapha Tianmu.

Together.

[Isn’t it faster to move according to your instincts in the first place?]

Act by anticipating the opponent’s movements.

It is only natural that moving faster after predicting than seeing and moving.

At the time, I still didn’t understand Pazon’s way.

[Tsk tsk.]

Pazon, who heard me, clicked his tongue.

[A prediction is just a prediction. How can you move with confidence in something you haven’t seen yourself?]

Pazon held out his hand.
He groaned and grabbed his hand and stood up.

Oh, fuck… The ribs I just hit are so cold.

Grabbing his ribs, he asked Pazon.

[Then, are you saying that you should watch and move even if it is late?]
[different. As you said, if you look at it with your eyes and move, it’s late, so it’s meaningless.]

I had to squint his eyes after listening to Pazon. It’s ridiculous.

[Then what do you mean?]

At my question, Pazon pointed his finger at my eyes.

[Do not look with your eyes.]

After that, he pointed to his chest.

[Look at the chest.]
[…yes? What kind of crazy thing is that… No, bullshit…]

Baka-!

[Keep!]

He had to be hit on the head and stumbled.

[The thorns in his mouth are getting bigger as the days go by. Should this old man break them off?]
[…groan…]

There are things I did wrong that I spit out, but this time I was unfair too.

[What’s the point of seeing it with your heart after you’ve been told to look at it? Is that different from what you feel instinctively?]
[Not different. ‘Seeing’ and ‘feeling’ are distinctly different.]
[Isn’t that just a pun?]
[okay.]

Pajon had a big smile on his face.

I’ve always had a hard time with that confident smile.

He said he hates people who know how good he is.

[There is a preliminary preparation for all movements. Do you know?]
[…I know.]

Hearing Pazon’s words, he nodded his head. It makes sense.

Movement of the shoulder to extend the fist.

moving the upper body before that.

Based on that, where and how the fist is extended.

When the eyes to see it became good, they would predict and move by looking at it.

Hani, cutting off the flow and blocking it is, after all.

It is to anticipate the opponent’s move and cut it off before it does.

At least by my standards it was.
However, what Pazon said now.

[Are you saying that’s not the case?]
[After all, isn’t that a prediction?]
[…Then…what do you mean?]

I couldn’t understand even if I listened to it.

What do you mean?

I’ve been beaten and trained for half a year, but I still can’t get a feel for it.

To my frustration, Pajon stroked my beardless chin and continued his explanation.

[Do you know what is the most honest thing in this world?]
[well? I go?]
[Heh heh, you sound crazy.]

I tried farming once, but it didn’t seem to work.

Since he is regretting it, Pazon sighs lightly and resumes his words.

[If you ask me, there must be many answers. The correct answer now is ‘bet’.]
[Bet.]
[Yes, there is no other friend who is as honest and plain as Bet. Write me a weed.]

Pazon’s words immediately moved his shoulders.

His preliminary motion was aimed at his face, but he pretended to reach.

Pazon moves slightly at this. Aiming for that, I twisted his line and aimed at his neck obliquely…

phut-!

[Ugh!?]

His outstretched arm bounced off casually.

I couldn’t even stretch properly in the first place.

It is blocked before the power is applied.
Every moment was like this when I had a fight with Pazon.

I wrapped my tingling wrist around and looked at Pajon.

[What do you think was the problem?]

When asked about my impressions of failure, I thought about it for a while and came up with an answer.

[…well. Did you notice the heocho?]
[Unfortunately. It fits well with your eccentric temper. You’re the type of person who is good at writing rubbish.]
[You just want to curse at me pretending to be a compliment, right?]
[Don’t you get hurt if you say it openly?]

I wish that nobleman knew that this hurt more.

[So what?]
[I just watched. Where and how you will move.]
[That’s why…]

What is the difference between prediction and prediction?

I held back the words that were about to come out of my throat.

It was a question and answer that I had already repeated countless times for half a year.

[I keep saying it, but it’s not a bad thing to predict and move based on the preliminary movements. In the end, if you mix and use weeds, you will get caught.]

Those who have become proficient in fighting use a mixture of weeds in the gaps of countless movements.

That way, it is possible to twist the prediction.

[If you have less confidence, you will have a lot of useless thoughts. Then the body slows down.]

You have to think of many things in an instant, so if you hesitate even a little, everything can collapse.

[So, you have to see it. To reduce unnecessary thoughts and to be more confident.]
[…If you’re not looking at the pre-movement, what are you talking about then?]

I still couldn’t understand.

No matter how much I try to understand, I turn around and end up at the same place.

It was a repetition of such questions and answers.

[What you need to see is not the opponent’s body. This poor disciple.]

Pazon continued to emphasize one thing.

[As I said before, I think the most honest thing is ‘bet’. Betting does not lie. Rather transparent.]

Hiss.

Pazon stretches his fist forward and says.

[What do you think is the first thing a martial artist reacts to when he makes a movement?]

when you’re thinking for a while. Pajon doesn’t listen to my answer and gives his answer.

[It’s a bet. The bet has already reached the result the owner of the body is trying to make.]

I didn’t quite understand.

[What does that mean…!]

A fist came in front of his nose. He hurriedly turned his head to avoid it.

phut-! After barely avoiding it, a piercing sound exploded in the air.

Since he was taken aback by the sudden attack, Pazon said to me with his signature smile.

[If I want to stretch my fist at you, betting on my body means I’m already in that motion.]
[yes?]
[The bet is the way. Martial arts is the act of making a road by betting and climbing it by a warrior.]

Listening to Pazon’s explanation, I felt like I knew something.

If the bet is already producing the result first before the unmanned action is taken.

[That…the word…]
[okay.]

Pajon sees my reaction and smiles in satisfaction.

[If the other person is showing you the way first, wouldn’t it be easier if you turn it off before getting on that path?]
[…]

It was an incredible thing to say.

No matter what the opponent is trying to do, no matter what action they are trying to take.

If the opponent is trying to do something, it means that the bet is already expressing that way first.

‘Because I know the other person is trying to do something.’

That means you have to cut it off beforehand and block it.

Thinking that far, I thought I knew then.

This is the meaning of Pazon’s words to see, not to feel.

[…You mean to see the opponent’s bet?]
[Right.]

Don’t try to predict what you’ll do by looking at your preliminary moves.

Your opponent will already tell you what to do with the bet. Look at that.

That must have been what Pazon wanted to say until now.

Knowing that, I have something I want to ask myself.

[Hey, old man.]
[okay.]
[…If you just let me know, why did you let me do this until now?]

I didn’t even explain it properly until now, but why is it now?

It was a bit dumbfounded.

And, after hearing this, Pazon tells me.

[At first, it was meaningless even if I told you. It’s just a situation where I can tell you now.]
[Are you saying I’ve gotten smarter?]
[Hehe, only pride pierces the sky. It would be nice to break the sky. The way you look now is not confidence, but arrogance. This poor disciple.]
[…tsk.]

I wiped my nose in embarrassment.

[The head understands, but the body lacks time to understand. I can understand it to some extent now, so I will explain it in words.]

It’s a situation that the body understands.
That’s a bit difficult.

[Are you saying that now is the time?]
[okay.]

Pazon nodded at his answer.

Anyway, I was glad that it meant that the condition was met.

Doubts still remained.

[…but the elders.]
[Tell me.]
[I know everything.]

The saying that a bet first makes a path before an unmanned person takes action.

If he saw it and destroyed it, he should have been in an overwhelming shock to say stop.

Despite this staggering fact, the most important problem remains unsolved.

That’s a very fundamental thing.

[After all, what do you mean by invisible?]

The damn bet was still invisible. This was the problem.

Pazon saw it and said it moved.

That’s why it’s speed, it’s nabal, and it’s all my movements.

It meant knowing in advance how to move.

Pazon says he can see it.

[I can’t see it.]

I couldn’t.

Unless it was a embodied bet, how could I see the intangible energy?

haha-!

Was that funny?
Pazon laughed out loud.

[No, disciple. you can see.]
[No, because I can’t see it?]
[can see. I just don’t see it.]
[…Elderly, even if you are senile…]
[Can you make it so I can’t see what happened?]
[It was a joke.]

Pazon raised his fist and turned his words around.

[I try to see it with my eyes, but I just can’t see it. Didn’t I tell you before?]

His fingers point to his chest.

[Look here.]
[…will turn.]

still abstract Damn it.
If you look at the situation just now, you should be able to explain it intuitively.

Now that I look at it, it seems like he did it on purpose.

[I planted my eyes in your chest. Look with the eyes there, not the eyes on your face.]
[Where are the eyes on your chest?]
[Why not? I have definitely planted seeds in you.]
[A seed?]
[Yes, it is the foundation to reach transcendence. It is a seed that continues to pluck and repair the body.]
[…]

After listening to Pazon’s words, I thought about it.

[…Tuapacheon Mu?]

At the words that flowed out, Pazon put on a satisfied expression.

[right. That’s the eye you need to see.]

What Pazon said was that eventually, Tuapa Cheonmu would solve all of that.

Was the understanding of the body I talked about earlier related to this?

[Crazy.]

I unknowingly spit it out.
And then spit it out again.

[Does that happen?]

artificial skeletal degeneration.
Forced trance.

Even that is amazing. Now you can even see the way to bet?

[how….]

if that’s really true

I wondered if I could put this level of power into the word martial arts.

How much more, did he make this by himself?

[There is nothing impossible in this world.]

Pason’s smile was deep.
I was caught up in that laugh.

[If you want to, just do it until you can. At least I did.]

You will become what you want to become.
If you want to make something, make it.

It was a seemingly easy word.

[And you will also make me like that.]
[that….]
[If your eyes haven’t opened yet, you just have to make them open.]

There is madness in his voice.
The more he practiced, the clearer he was that he was getting excited.

When I started training, I remembered what Pazon said.

– There is nothing that can’t be done. I will make you

If not, make it happen.
That was the belief of that damned Pazon.

[Fuck…]

He felt it and cursed.
At the same time, the body was moving slowly.

If you don’t understand, until you do.
Pazon’s teaching method was like that.

What’s annoying is that they made things that seemed impossible actually happen.

That shitty fact keeps me moving.

[Half a year left.]
– It’ll take a year.

It overlapped with the words he had spit out in the past.

His assurance that he will make it happen within a year.
I moved my body thinking about it.

Pazon also started moving again, probably giving him enough time to rest.

After being beaten for another half a year like that, by the time it was exactly one year.

As Pajon said, I opened my eyes.
