Chapter 46: Aim To Live
『In such a forest, one can only hunt down the beasts that flee. Set a trap. Drive with a bow and arrow or a spear. But other than that…… to chase and catch them myself…. such means exist.』
As for the speed of the beast and those with small bodies, they avoid the trees with agile movement and disappear into the depths of the forest without suffering from the obstacles at their feet.
Isn’t it impossible to catch up with a beast in the forest?
『So. Available footings are unstable with obstacles aplenty. Then what are you to do? Search for the path of light.』
The path of Light?
『The shortest route to the destination or goal. Tis an application of dynamic vision and peripheral vision, which until now has only been active in sparring and speed reading. The ability to detect the shortest route to the goal while avoiding obstacles, by measuring ‘your own physical ability, passiveness, foothold situation and risk assessment, using experience, prediction and the ability to observe and understand surrounding conditions. The skilled person sees the situation in an instant while running, and the shortest route in which to advance to the target appears as a path of light…. A Shining Road…… such is the phenomenon.』
The shortest route. Considering my current physical abilities?
How about that?
I have done it by nature, like walking through a crowd in the city.
