Chapter 180: Misanthropy (2)
“You didn’t teach him breathing techniques in secret, did you?”
“Jeez, please believe me, Captain! Do you think I have the skill to teach someone about citta?”(TL Note: Citta)
The young dwarf was sweating profusely.
Breathing techniques were the first step of mana citta. The method itself wasn’t difficult, but whether you could do them properly or not was an entirely separate matter. There was a time where I acted like an unruly child as I tried to learn martial arts from Lapis. At that time, Lapis said this to me with cold eyes as she taught me about breathing techniques.
– Your Highness has absolutely no talent when it comes to things related to martial arts.
She declared. After that day, I obediently practiced shooting a crossbow. Luke was being praised as some sort of genius and prodigy with the stats that I had painstakingly raised. Life couldn’t be more unfair than this.
“I made him practice swinging his sword around 400 times and I suddenly started to hear that familiar hoo, hoo, sound, you know? When I listened more carefully, I realized he was doing a breathing technique. Damn it. You have no idea how surprised I was.”
“How could some mountain child figure out citta on his own?”
Jacquerie didn’t seem convinced. The young dwarf started patting his chest.
