Volume 1: Re:Zero -Starting Life as a Samurai Chapter 59: Hidden Functions of the System
This was a strange system sound that I had never heard before.
After this system sound ended, Ogata's brain froze for a long time before he finally came back to his senses.
After coming to his senses, the first thought that came to Ogata's mind was - this system's functions are indeed more than just upgrading and adding points! There are also many hidden functions!
Before this, Ogata suspected that his system still had many hidden functions waiting for him to explore and unlock.
After the level of Sakakibara Ittoryu is upgraded to the 5th stage, a new function is unlocked - after the martial arts style reaches a certain level, exclusive skill points can be obtained.
And now, Ogata had accidentally unlocked... no, it should be said that he had learned about a new hidden function of the system.
The system sound only rang once in his mind, so after coming to his senses, Ogata quickly concentrated his attention and closed the interface that asked him whether he wanted to spend 1 skill point to unlock the "Two Swords Style".
Each interface of the system has three functions: open, collapse and close.
Then he carefully recalled every word of the system voice.
The first sentence of the system voice just now was - "Successfully browsed all the sword skills of the two-sword sword technique 'Nu Wo Ni Dao Liu', and successfully extracted the two-sword sword technique - 'Nu Wo Ni Dao Liu'"
And the last sentence - "Would you like to spend 1 skill point to unlock the two-sword sword technique - 'Muga Two-sword Style'?"
——There is no doubt... this hidden function of the system is related to acquiring new martial arts styles.
Ogata thought to himself.
——If you want the system to successfully extract new martial arts styles, it should be necessary to meet certain conditions...
——And the first sentence of the system voice just now should be the necessary condition for the system to successfully extract the martial arts style...
——"Successfully browsed through all the sword techniques of 'Muga Nito-ryu'"... What does this mean...?
——Does that mean… as long as you can personally see all the skills of a certain martial arts school, regardless of whether you understand them or not, the system can help you extract this martial arts school?
——I need to experiment...
Ogata pursed his lips and thought for a while.
Soon, he came up with the experimental method.
"Ms. Asaki!"
Ogata turned his head and shouted into the kitchen.
"Could you please come over here for a moment?"
"I'm coming!"
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Asaki walked out of the kitchen in small steps.
"Lord Ogata, what's going on?"
"Azaki, I remember you said that you know the female self-defense technique that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family, right?"
"Yes, that's right. But the women's self-defense technique that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family is just a very simple self-defense technique, with only three simple moves."
"That's just right! And I thought you said you could write, didn't you?"
"yes."
Since becoming the "security guard" of Nagiya, Ogata, Asaki, and Fuku would chat there whenever they had free time.
Through chatting with Asaki and the others, Ogata also learned a lot about Asaki and Afu.
For example, Asaki’s family background is actually quite good.
Although they are not a wealthy family, they have enough food and clothing.
Asaki's family has a women's self-defense technique that has been passed down from generation to generation, and they also place great emphasis on education.
As a girl, Asaki was not only literate, but also able to read and write - in the Edo period, it was very rare to find a woman like Asaki who was literate and able to read and write.
"Miss Asaki! Can you write down all three of your self-defense techniques on a piece of paper in simple words, what they are and how to learn them?"
"The simpler the description, the better! It's best if it's so simple that I can't understand it!"
"Of course you can... But Lord Ogata, what are you going to do? If you want to learn my self-defense skills, I suggest you not to ... Because my self-defense skills are only suitable for women, not men."
"I don't want to learn your self-defense skills, I just have something important to confirm, please!"
"All right……"
Although she didn't know what Ogata was going to do, out of trust in Ogata, Asaki quickly walked into the inner room of their house and then came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Asaki's self-defense technique only has three simple moves. Asaki quickly followed Ogata's instructions and used very simple words to outline what each move of her self-defense technique looked like and how to learn it.
After Asaki finished writing, Ogata immediately picked it up and read it word by word.
Asaki met Ogata's requirements perfectly.
The words and phrases that Asaki used in her introduction were extremely simple, so simple that even Ogata couldn't understand what she was talking about.
After Ogata finished reading every word on the paper, a long and familiar system sound suddenly rang in his mind. He had heard it once before.
[Ding! Successfully browsed all the martial arts of the unarmed combat technique "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Technique"]
[Successfully extracted the unarmed combat technique - "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Technique"]
[Detect all martial arts styles currently learned by the host... ]
[The host has not yet learned other unarmed combat skills]
[After learning "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Skills", you can gain personal experience points and martial arts experience points by defeating and killing enemies with this unarmed combat skill]
[The host can spend 1 skill point to unlock the unarmed combat skill - "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Skill"]
[Do you want to spend 1 skill point to unlock the unarmed combat skill - "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Skill"?]
--coming!
Listening to the system sound in his mind, Ogata was very excited.
——It is true! As long as I browse through all the martial arts introductions and learning methods of a certain martial arts style, the system can successfully extract this martial arts style regardless of whether I understand it or not!
——Then, let’s move on to the next stage of the experiment!
Ogata put down the paper in his hand and closed the interface that asked him if he wanted to unlock the "Yuzaki Family Women's Self-Defense Technique".
"Ms. Asaki, could you please demonstrate each move of your self-defense technique in person?"
"Of course, I can, but what exactly are you going to do, Lord Ogata? If I want to demonstrate my self-defense skills, I need someone to practice with me."
"No problem, I'll be your sparring partner."
Ogata stood up and served as Asaki's sparring partner.
Asaki used Ogata as her sparring partner and personally demonstrated every move of her "Yusaki family women's self-defense technique".
Because her self-defense skills only had three moves, she was able to demonstrate them all very quickly.
After Asaki finished the demonstration, a system tone that was exactly the same as the one that just sounded in his mind rang in Ogata's mind:
[Ding! Successfully browsed all the martial arts of the unarmed combat technique "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Technique"]
[Successfully extracted the unarmed combat technique - "Yuzaki's Women's Self-Defense Technique"]
