Nen is a kind of idealistic power.
It is the miraculous power of one's own will and life merging into one.
The ability of thought cannot be viewed using conventional physics.
When a power-enhancing Nen is poured into a water glass, the water level rises, while the user's Nen consumption is negligible. It is a matter of exchanging a tiny amount of energy for an increase in the mass of matter, creating something from nothing, and ignoring the laws of conservation of energy and mass.
This kind of idealistic power literally screams "unscientific."
The phenomena generated by Kyal's special type of psychic power were also strange, but he felt that he should be able to explain them scientifically.
The water level seemed to be rising, but then it didn't. After lifting it up, I noticed that the weight had increased.
This indicates that the water level did rise, but it was affected by the psychic power of the special type.
The reason why the weight increases but the water volume does not should be that the water is compressed.
Water can be compressed. When subjected to 200 atmospheres of pressure, the volume of water can shrink by about 1%. Since the pressure is very high and the volume of water shrinks very little, water can generally be considered incompressible.
Kyal believed that although this thing was idealistic, it was just water compressed using some unknown method.
However, after pouring the water from that cup into another cup of the same volume, Kyal realized that his guess was wildly wrong.
After another cup is filled with water, the original cup will still be full. If compressed water is poured into the other cup, it should also be compressed water.
So this isn't compression, but a completely unscientific phenomenon: a container of fixed volume holding twice its own volume of liquid—is that scientific? No, it's not!
It's like putting two one-cubic-meter cubes into a box that can hold one cubic meter, and the box doesn't break, it doesn't deform, and it doesn't burst. This phenomenon is truly absurd.
Furthermore, the fact that the moving leaves sank into the water further confirmed Kaiyal's understanding of the characteristics of his Special Nen ability.
"Space and absorption—if I'm not mistaken, these are the two characteristics of my special type of telekinesis."
Kayal said this to Kreeher.
The special ability of telekinesis expands the volume of the water glass, allowing it to hold more water without changing its original shape. This is a spatial property.
This is also why the water level, which should have risen, did not overflow. The internal volume of the water increased as the volume of water increased, so although there were ripples on the surface, the cup remained full.
The blades that should have been spinning around in place sank because of the suction in the water, so they should also have absorption properties.
"Space and absorption? They both seem to have very strong properties. Do you have any ideas on how to develop them, Kyal?"
Kreeher's knowledge was still too shallow. She understood the concepts of space and absorption, but how to use these two characteristics to develop the ability to generate thoughts was a bit difficult for her. She didn't have any good suggestions to offer Kyal.
"I don't have any clue yet, and I've only just opened my energy channels. I'm still a long way from being able to freely control my energy to the level of [Send]. No rush, I'll think about it slowly."
Kayal wasn't clueless about developing his Nen abilities; rather, he had too many ideas and didn't know which one to choose.
Moreover, he does need to think about his true fighting style now, and then devise Nen abilities related to his fighting system.
"Kreeh, what do you think of my fighting style?"
Kayal asked Kreeher for his opinion, hoping the battle-hardened swordsman would offer his assessment.
"Kayal's fighting style... is a bit too chaotic."
After a moment's thought, Krech replied in this way.
Is it too cluttered?
Upon careful consideration, Kyal realized that it did indeed make sense.
"Archery, swordsmanship, martial arts—although Kyal is proficient in each of them, their fighting methods are all different."
"Bows and arrows are ranged weapons. When using them, you should keep your distance from the enemy to safely deal damage. The best way for a single archer to fight is to launch a sneak attack from a distance."
"Swordsmanship is a close-range weapon. When using it, you should close the distance with the enemy, attack and defend in the intersecting areas, and find the right moment to strike and kill."
"Martial arts are close-quarters techniques, and when using them, one must pay special attention to one's own safety. When defending and dodging to protect oneself, one should try to get close to the enemy and attack directly to their vital points."
"Even if coordination can be achieved through actual combat, it still requires switching weapons. The distance varies, and switching weapons during combat is too cumbersome."
"Furthermore, switching weapons can also create openings."
"My fighting style as a swordsman is very simple: just get close to the enemy and then fight in close combat."
As Kyal listened to Krech's analysis, he fell into deep thought, realizing that he had previously fallen into a misconception.
Indeed, every weapon has a combat style specifically suited to it.
The reason why Kyal thought of switching weapons in battle was also influenced by the games he played before he transmigrated.
But reality is not a game, enemies are not rigid programs, and bows and arrows are not a suitable means to be used when too close to the enemy.
In real combat, the enemy will seize the moment when you switch weapons to kill you.
Moreover, there is a Chinese idiom that means "to be knowledgeable but not proficient".
