Akies Victima is a combat technique that is difficult to use and learn.
Ordinary people cannot even acquire it. Regardless of whether it is through surgery or drugs, some form of neural enhancement is required just to gain access to it.
Those who have mastered Akies Victima maximize their observation and insight through an abnormal expansion of brain function. They predict the future and infer the past through high-speed, multi-angle reasoning.
Simply put, we predict and control what ordinary people consider luck. Thanks to this, we can often turn even the slimmest chance into reality.
At first glance, this might seem like an incredible ability. One might wonder why others are not rushing to master it. But in this world, everything has a reason.
"If you’re an exceptional Akies Victima user, you could take on an armored vehicle with nothing but a handgun. But if you invested that massive brain capacity not into Akies Victima but into cybernetic equipment and prosthetics, you wouldn’t be taking down just one vehicle—you could handle dozens."
From a pure combat effectiveness standpoint, Akies Victima is inefficient for regular military forces. It is somewhat useful in special operations and, in reality, is primarily utilized as a combat technique by insurgents.
......And it comes with several major drawbacks. In particular, it leads to overuse of the irreplaceable biological organ—the brain. Due to excessive intuitive expansion, brain activity and tension remain constantly heightened. This is an irreversible condition.
"Akies Victima is impressive, but it’s not the strongest combat technique."
Ragnata spoke first. She looked at me with a cautious expression.
"I know it’s not the strongest. I’m asking a more fundamental question."
