Chapter 24 - Garden Of Flame!
The fire gradually subsided, but this time, what appeared in front of Luke and Julis was no longer a charred training room but a beautiful garden of flames.
Countless delicate flame flowers bloomed on the ground. If not for Luke sensing their danger, at this time, with the terrifying high temperature surrounding the air, one might even think that they are really in a beautiful garden.
Julis looked from the center as the flame garden covered the entire training area, and her heart was filled with shock and surprise.
She squatted down, stretched out her hand, and broke a flower. The broken flame flower did not dissipate in the air but was held in Julis' hand like a real flower.
"It succeeded, it actually succeeded...but why?"
Julis's heart was filled with joy, but at the same time, she also had many doubts.
She has failed so many times, why did she succeed this time?
At the last moment, she clearly gave up controlling the flames. How did this garden come into existence?
The more she thinks about it, the more questions she has, which gradually overwhelms her joy because if she doesn't figure out the reason for her success, she will have more questions in the future. Even if this move succeeds by chance this time, it will be of no use if it fails the next time.
She looked back at Luke, hoping that the other party could give her an answer. After all, Luke had given the last order. Obviously, he should have discovered something.
Luke did understand, and this success confirmed his idea.
After all, Strega's ability and Seisenjutsu are different things, but what are their differences?
The biggest difference between Strega's ability and Seisenjutsu is actually 'imagery'.
The formation of Strega's ability completely depends on the 'impression' of the caster, but Seisenjutsu is different. It is determined by media such as chants, talismans, and incantations. In other words, for Seisenjutsu, the 'image' has been predetermined before activating the spell.
This is where the conflict lies.
Star Swordsmanship is an original method created by Luke. By using a sword to replace all media of Seisenjutsu, it is possible to activate Star Swordsmanship, and every move of Star Swordsmanship developed by Luke is a sword form, so it is called "Star Swordsmanship''.
Of course, it is definitely not as simple as activating Seisenjutsu. It also contains many other technical details, and not all Seisenjutsu can be activated through the skill of Star Swordsmanship.
But once it is successfully activated through Star Swordsmanship, the power of this move will far exceed that of ordinary Seisenjutsu.
Fundamentally, Star Swordsmanship cannot actually be regarded as a kind of sword art. To be precise, it should be regarded as an amplification art.
What Julis has to do now is to transform the Seisenjutsu that is amplified through the Star Swordsmanship into amplifying her own flames through the Star Swordsmanship.
The reason for her continued failure is actually the difference between the activation of her ability and Seisenjutsu.
The prerequisite for the activation of Julis's flame ability is to construct an 'image', and in Luke's Star Swordsmanship, because it replaces media of Seisenjutsu such as chants, talismans, and mantras, it actually also includes the step of constructing an 'image'.
Further reconstruction of the already constructed 'image' will, of course, consume a lot of Prana. At the same time, because the 'image' is modified twice, the resulting flame shape will also be distorted and start transforming into a new shape.
In this process, a large amount of Prana was consumed, and the control difficulty soared due to the conflict of 'impression', which was the root cause of Julis's rampage.
To put it simply, Julis' own Prana reserves and Prana control are not enough to support her to create new moves based on another impression.
Now that you know what the problem is, it's much easier to solve it.
If there is no way to support the second impression, then just do it once. Strega's ability and Seisenjutsu perform the same with different means, even Star Swordsmanship is the same in that regard.
Just now, Luke asked Julis to give up controlling the flame and cut off contact, just to cancel the second 'image'. When the two 'impressions' suddenly become one, the conflict naturally ceases to exist, and the flames amplified by Star Swordsmanship are completed naturally.
After listening to Luke's explanation, Julis also understood what was going on.
The solution is also very simple, as long as Luke spends a few days removing the 'imagery' part of Star Swordsmanship. This is really too simple for the founder of Star Swordsmanship.
"So, the current Garden of Flames cannot be said to be a completed version."
Julis felt a little regretful.
But now that a solution has been found, it is only a matter of time before this move is completed, and the recent 'outburst' has not been in vain.
"Garden of Flames... You have come up with a good name now."
Although he was surprised by how quickly Julis came up with the name, Luke admitted that this name was quite appropriate. After all, this move was literally a garden made of flames.
But thanks to the naming thing, Luke suddenly remembered something he wanted to ask Julis a long time ago.
"Well Julis, speaking of names, I happen to have a question I've been wanting to ask you..."
Luke scratched his head, a somewhat embarrassed expression appearing on his face.
"Hmm? If you have something to ask, just ask it. Why are you being so secretive?"
Julis looked at Luke, puzzled by his hesitant appearance. Isn't it just about giving a name? Why make such a big fuss about it?
"If you care so much about the naming issue, then I'll let you handle the names for my future moves. After all, I learned Star Swordsmanship from you, so it's only natural for you to name them."
Feeling that she might have seen through Luke's thoughts, Julis said with a tolerant face that she could give him the right to name her future moves.
"Eh, that's not what I mean."
In the end, Luke couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked: "Why do you have to shout out the name of your moves every time in battle?"
"Your move names sound cool, but saying them out loud all the time seems a bit childish, don't you think? Honestly, after hearing it a bunch, it makes me feel a bit awkward... like, you know, acting like a chuunibyou."
"What…???"
Julis was stunned; she hadn't considered this issue at all, and she never expected Luke to bring up such a question.
All along, she has naturally been shouting out the names of her moves during battles, and she even shouts them out very loudly.
But it's really not because of 'chuunibyou' (adolescent delusions)!!! Really, it's not!!!"
