Chapter 215
Terado was reading very carefully, his usually calm and composed gaze gradually becoming more focused. From the way his eyes moved, Haruto Saito could tell that he was reading at an incredible speed. Haruto even suspected that this man had a photographic memory—otherwise, how could he read so quickly and still retain the information?
Before long, Terado finally spoke.
"An extraordinary technique." That was Terado's evaluation of the Barrier-Breaking Technique. He placed the scroll down, looked at Haruto, and asked, "So? You want to learn this technique?"
"Yes!" Haruto admitted directly. Then he added, "I have another question. If you, Lord Terado, were to learn this technique, how long would it take you to master it?"
Haruto wanted to confirm whether Terado had the talent to learn this technique or not.
"Me, huh..." Terado picked up the scroll again, examined it briefly, and then said after some contemplation, "If I were to follow a normal training schedule, it would probably take me about three years to master this technique, with a seventy percent chance of success. However, if I were to dedicate all my time to it—meaning, aside from eating and sleeping, focusing entirely on mastering this technique—then I might be able to learn it within a year, with a sixty percent chance of success."
It was him!
This confirmed that Terado had an extraordinary talent for learning the Barrier-Breaking Technique. Or rather, he had a remarkable ability to master strange and unique techniques in general!
If he devoted himself entirely to training and poured all his effort into mastering a powerful S-rank forbidden technique, he could learn it within a year. Though he humbly claimed only a sixty percent chance of success, it still demonstrated his confidence in his own talent!
Normally, even the most gifted ninja who could learn an S-rank forbidden technique would take several years at best, or even over a decade, to master it.
To master it in a single year? That was monstrous!
