"I don’t know if you’re already aware of it, but this world is not a cartoon. If you have seen someone releasing a long-range attack, that’s definitely a CGI, so ignore that part.
"Instead, what we have for that type of attack is actually generating a force or pressure and shooting it in a certain direction.
"Like what I showed you earlier, the flick generated that pressure to create torrential air. High-pressure air could cut things. The problem is how much you are able to generate that force."
The commander drew two sketches on the screen. The first sketch was about a stickman launching a crescent-shaped attack, while the second sketch was about a stickman launching a small torrent of air with a thrusting motion.
"There are three things that you need to know first. They are power, shape, and distance. Since you’re using a blade, I’ll use thrust and slash as my examples.

"In terms of slash, you will definitely know the difference between a swift slash and a heavy slash.
"The swift slash will create pressure that is thinner, which won’t produce a lot of power. However, instead of power, it gets speed.
"On the other hand, the heavy slash will generate enough power, but it won’t go far."
Noel looked down, falling into deep thought.
Meanwhile, Jay asked, "If that’s the case, does that mean my attack and Clovis’ attack will be different?"
"Of course. Even right now, your fighting styles are different, right?"
Jay nodded.
"In Clovis’ case, he is generating pressure from his swinging speed, which will travel much farther than you. On the other hand, you can create an attack powerful enough to crush his attack."
"If that’s the case, what if I also add speed to mine, for example, a beast soul?" Jay had a beast soul that increased his speed and used it to release momentum.
"Of course, you’re able to do that. In fact, once you become stronger, you will be able to combine all of them at once. However, even a beast soul can’t change the fact that Clovis will be faster than you or that you will always be stronger than Clovis. After all, your affinity is different."
"That’s true." Jay nodded.
But the same couldn’t be said to Clovis. His perfect state allowed him to bypass the gap, so Clovis would be able to get all of them once he got stronger. When he thought about it, he realized why Clovis had this so-called ’quality’ to be a Tier 9.
"For the time being, you have to focus on your fundamental strength. Once you get used to it and begin mastering it, that’s when you can finally experiment with the combination.
"Even if I warn you not to do it, you might try it in one way or another out of curiosity, so I’ll just say this. If you want to experiment with it, there’s a high chance you will fail and end up wasting your time. Know this warning and proceed if you wish."
Jay closed his eyes for a moment. It seemed that he had become a bit too greedy. He perfectly knew that power wouldn’t come in an instant. If he wanted something, he would have to do it step by step.
"It seems that you have managed to produce a ranged attack." The commander turned to Clovis.
"Sadly, it was too short. I couldn’t even call it a ranged attack."
"Everyone starts at some point. The fact that you are able to use it when you are only a Tier 2 human is amazing. Most people who are able to do this are around Tier 5 or Tier 6. After all, the basic requirement for this is physical strength."
"In that case, how about me? Ranged attack doesn’t suit me, but does that mean I’ll be weaker than others of the same tier?" Erwin raised his hand.
"Not necessarily, your weapon is quite unique, so I can’t really say a lot of things. From the way I see it, you are able to harness strength that is much different from theirs. For example, although they are rare because we have gunners, there are archers.
"They are using the strength of their strings to release an arrow that is more powerful than a gun that is using compressed air.
"Your wires are very similar to the bowstrings. Or you can even launch yourself like an arrow. Unfortunately, this is the extent of what I can say regarding your weapon. You have to find the method yourself."
Erwin was disappointed. Still, he couldn’t deny the fact that his weapon was extremely rare. With the addition of Clovis’ items, he would have more leeway to try things he hadn’t dared before.
"As for you…" The commander paused for a moment. "Do you have Heart Affinity?"
"No. I have Bones Affinity."
"Bones?" The commander frowned. He had heard about his extreme regenerative power. Nevertheless, since Ragna confirmed to have Bones Affinity, he simply had to explain his power. "Alright. With this affinity, you are actually similar to the Wishe family.
"I don’t know about their secret, but they are strengthening their bodies to the extreme. Their patriarch is said to be invincible among Tier 7 not because he is able to defeat all his enemies, but because all his enemies couldn’t defeat him.
"Swords, spears, anything can’t penetrate his body. I believe that you’ll be able to achieve this state in the future. And I don’t know about your regenerative power, but if it’s something you have, you can become immortal. Not only will you be hard to injure, but your wound will also be healed almost immediately.
"As for the ranged attack, I have seen someone who is able to stop a ranged attack and somehow send it back. I don’t know if it’s a smooth movement or something, but it’s actually a possibility.
"Last but not least, the Brain Affinity. The girls in your group are not here right now, but you can pass this message to them. The Brain Affinity is simple but effective. If you train your senses, you can basically become omniscient. Instead of trying to spread your senses as far as possible, it’s better to create an area where you’re able to sense everything within a certain radius."
