Crossover Anime: Destroying Tokyo by One Person

Chapter 24 Restoring the Sword Techniques

Paper Valley House, Living Room.

Xu Yuan held Mount Tai in both hands, closed his eyes, and recalled the scenes from before.

Various details slowly came to mind.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, took a step forward, and rushed forward quickly. Following a specific rhythm and technique, he slashed with his long sword, launching nine attacks almost simultaneously.

The sharp sword light instantly illuminated the entire living room.

Flying Sword Style: Nine-Headed Dragon Flash!

You have mastered the skill "Nine-Headed Dragon Flash"

--------------

[Nine-Headed Dragon Flash]

Type: Skill - Active

Realm: Beginner

Effects: Tang Bamboo, Kesa Slash, Reverse Kesa, Left Pheasant, Right Pheasant, Left Cut Up, Right Cut Up, Against the Wind, Thrust. This technique combines offense and defense through rapid, continuous slashes covering the nine basic sword techniques. It requires maintaining distance and charging up when using it.

--------------

The principle behind this move is actually quite simple.

It involves launching slashes and thrusts from nine directions at extremely high speed while advancing.

Once you grasp the rhythm and techniques, it's not difficult to learn.

To put it simply, these kinds of ordinary martial arts moves are mainly just some techniques.

How to unleash the fastest speed in an instant.

How to unleash maximum power in an instant.

How to block the opponent's escape space.

What kind of rhythm can make your opponent unable to cope?

—Similar techniques.

To the extraordinary, there may be subtleties, but overall it is something simple and easy to understand.

After recreating the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash, Xu Yuan began to study the Sky Soaring Dragon Flash.

This is the ultimate technique of the Flying Sword Style.

Unlike ordinary sword-drawing techniques, this one uses the left foot as the key point for drawing the sword.

The key is speed.

It's much faster than other sword-drawing techniques.

Generally speaking, the first strike is enough to finish off the opponent.

However, if the first attack is dodged or blocked, a second attack with a control effect will occur.

The control effect comes from the pressure difference.

When the first cut is made, the blade causes the surrounding air to move rapidly. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure of rapidly moving air will decrease.

The pressure difference creates suction.

This is similar to how a person can be sucked in if they get close to a fast-moving train.

The safety line at the train station is set up for this reason.

In other words, besides being fast enough, the first cut also left a suction force.

That suction force will hold onto your opponent.

At that time, the user will use the centrifugal force of the rotation to make a second cut.

Just like the metaphor in the comic:

"Even if the opponent dodges the Flying Dragon's Fang, the whirlwind that rises up at that moment will take away his freedom and then tear him to pieces by the dragon's claws."

That's how it is in theory.

Xu Yuan tried many times, but failed.

He recalled the details carefully.

Then I tried again, but it still didn't work.

Looking at the sword in his hand, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized a problem—

Swords are sharp weapons, not blunt ones.

The air resistance encountered when waving is very small, and the impact on the surrounding airflow is also very small.

So, just how fast would a slashing speed be needed to create an air pressure difference large enough to absorb a human being within such a small area of ​​influence?

At least he can't do it.

If he couldn't do it with his strength and speed, then it would be even more impossible for Kenshin, who is just an ordinary person.

However, he had personally witnessed Kenshin use it during their battle.

He had personally experienced that suction force.

The second stab that followed even injured him.

How is Kenshin used?

Logically, it shouldn't be usable.

Could it be that the actual Sky Soaring Dragon Flash is different from the one described in the work?

"System, what's going on?"

The creation and operation of a fantasy world are not arbitrary; they must be based on certain logical foundations.

Based on the overall combat capabilities of the work and its characters, unrealistic and exaggerated depictions in the work will not be accepted by the world.

The parts that are not recognized or are not important will be discarded. The important parts will be adjusted by the world to make them more reasonable.

—The system provided a response.

In other words, the description in the work is one thing, but the actual product is quite another.

There may be some discrepancies between the two.

Because there are some things the world doesn't accept.

It's not like the author can just add whatever setting they want on a whim.

The birth and operation of the world are not as self-evident as one might think.

For example, the principle behind the Sky Soaring Dragon Flash.

Rurouni Kenshin is a relatively realistic manga, and Kenshin Himura is just an ordinary person.

Creating a pressure difference by slashing speed to attract opponents is clearly inconsistent with the "overall combat power of the work and the character" and belongs to "unrealistic and exaggerated descriptions in the work".

Therefore, this principle has not been recognized by the world.

However, because the Heavenly Dragon Flash is very important in the story of "Rurouni Kenshin", the world did not abandon this move, but made certain modifications to make it more reasonable.

By the way, how was it corrected?

Should we add energy?

If so, could the Heavenly Dragon Flash be an extraordinary skill involving the circulation of energy?!

But Kenshin isn't a superhuman.

Could it be that by overdrawing one's body and life force, something similar to energy is formed?

Come to think of it, the original work seems to have mentioned that using the Flying Sword Style would put a great strain on the body.

Has the world taken this point a step further and expanded upon?

In short, why not try incorporating energy into it?

As he pondered, Xu Yuan fell into deep thought.

For several days in a row, apart from eating, drinking and relieving himself, he spent the rest of his time sitting cross-legged in the living room.

Think, experiment, think, experiment...

Finally, seeing that Lord Xu Yuan, who usually bathed every day, hadn't bathed or slept for three days, and seemed possessed, Kamiya Shin couldn't help but say, "Lord Xu Yuan, why don't you go for a walk?"

Xu Yuan rubbed his tired cheeks and let out a long breath, saying, "Alright, I'm hungry anyway."

I've been eating takeout for the past few days.

"Should we go to the same restaurant as last time?"

"I'm not going."

"Didn't you say that restaurant was pretty good?"

"The owner greeted me when I went last time, so I don't want to go again."

"?"

"By the way, do you know anything about motorcycles?"

"Why did Lord Xu Yuan suddenly ask this?"

"I'm planning to buy one."

Traffic jams are common, especially in cities.

Whether you take a taxi or drive yourself, nothing is as convenient as riding a motorcycle.

To Xu Yuan's surprise, he asked casually, and unexpectedly, Shigaya Shin actually knew something about it.

Upon hearing this topic, he exclaimed excitedly, "Then I absolutely have to recommend the Kawasaki Ninja H2! It has a 998cc inline four-cylinder supercharged engine! It can output a maximum of 231 horsepower! With the speed limiter removed, its top speed is 361 kilometers per hour!"

"How much?"

"I remember it was quite expensive, over three million."

"Then I'll go take a look when I have some free time in the next few days."

What Xu Yuan didn't know was that this motorcycle would cost more than 40 RMB in China.

Buying it in Japan is more than half the price.

"But I don't have a driver's license!" Shin Kamiya suddenly realized a problem. "You need to be 18 to get a license for motorcycles over 400cc! I don't have one!"

Do you have any under 400cc?

"No, not at all."

"...Then what should I say?"

"But not having a driver's license is a problem, isn't it?"

"As long as we don't get caught, everything will be fine, right?"

"You might get caught on camera; some places have surveillance cameras."

"Just wear a helmet and don't register it, isn't that enough?"

This vehicle was prepared by Xu Yuan for traveling when he was on a mission.

Speeding will be inevitable at that time.

The traffic police couldn't catch him, but the cameras could capture it.

Japan has less surveillance, but it's not completely absent.

If he has a license plate, the police can find him based on photos taken by surveillance cameras.

That would be worse than not having a license plate at all.

I usually just leave it in my inventory and use it when I'm traveling.

Shinichi Kamiya felt there was something wrong with Xu Yuan's statement that "if you don't get a license plate, you won't be caught on camera" and "as long as you're not caught by the traffic police, it's perfectly fine."

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem to make any mistake.

"Anyway, you can just sit in the invisible wall then," Xu Yuan said casually.

He had watched some movies and TV series before.

The ghosts in the story are supposed to be unable to touch objects, but they can sit in cars and move around with humans.

Xu Yuan never investigated this point in depth.

Until he summoned Shin Kamiya...

Holy crap?

He went through it!

He walked through the car!

Then, because of the contract, Shin Kamiya began to be pushed forward by the invisible wall ten meters behind him.

After all, although he floated quite fast, faster than an average person running, he was obviously not as fast as a car.

Xu Yuan once asked him how he felt.

He said it felt like being pushed and moved quickly by an invisible wall, but probably because he was a spirit, he couldn't feel the wind pressure.

In short, it sounds pretty amazing.

……

A traditional Japanese house.

Kenshin Himura was sitting under the eaves, lost in thought, with a comic book in his hand.

The manga's name is indeed "Rurouni Kenshin".

"Kenshin..." Kaoru Kamiya, dressed in a blue kimono, walked over and called out to him softly.

Kenshin turned to look at her: "Miss Kaoru."

The two sat down side by side and remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Kaoru Kamiya spoke up: "Ms. Kamishiro said that if you wish, she can arrange for us to meet with the author."

Meet the author...?

Kenshin looked at the name printed on the manga.

What should we do when we meet?

Should we thank him for creating us, or condemn the pain he inflicted upon us?

It is said that the content creation of comics serialized in magazines is largely influenced by reader votes.

So, should I turn my sword on the readers?

Or rather, this world?

Ms. Kamishiro said that before entering the Human Extermination arc, the author hesitated about whether to kill off Ms. Kaoru.

But after the Kyoto arc ended, he looked back on the previous plot and finally felt that the basic principle of shonen manga is laughter and a happy ending.

If Kaoru dies, there will never be a genuine smile or a happy ending again.

Therefore, in the "Human Punishment" arc, he arranged for Miss Kaoru to fake her death.

At the time, many readers who believed it to be true reacted extremely strongly, expressing their inability to accept it and even boycotting "Rurouni Kenshin".

Kenshin felt incredibly conflicted about these things.

In contrast, Kaoru Kamiya's thoughts were much simpler; she really wanted to meet the author.

Then... I punched him hard!

It was because of him that Kenshin suffered so much!

However, she respects Kenshin's choice.

Kenshin held the comic book in his hand, pondering for a long, long time, before finally shaking his head: "Never mind, I won't bother him. I... I..."

He mumbled a few times, unsure of what to say.

Those usually gentle eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

This man, who seemed invincible, was now radiating a clear sense of helplessness and vulnerability.

Kaoru Kamiya felt a pang of sadness watching him. She took his hand and said softly yet firmly, "Don't think so much, Kenshin. We've already moved beyond the story, haven't we?"

Kenshin paused slightly, his gaze gradually softening as he grasped her hand and softly replied, "Mm."

The two nestled together under the eaves, enjoying a peaceful moment.

Not far away, Shinjiro Nagiyuki, holding her sword, nodded with a hint of emotion.

After a long and arduous journey, Kenshin Himura deserves a happy ending.

hateful!

Who exactly is the man who wanted to kill him?

I heard his name is Xǔ Yuán, and he's Chinese?!

How are Chinese characters written?

Which anime character is it?

I can't find it at all!

Could it be a pseudonym?

Or is it a work from China?

Or is it fan fiction?

If it's from China, we can probably find it; but if it's from fan fiction, then it's troublesome.

Because there are just too many of them.

Moreover, some fan works have not been published.

Jinshiro Nagiyuki was unaware that only works with sufficient popularity could give rise to fantasy worlds.

Therefore, it's impossible for it to come from unpublished fan works or anything like that.

……

Meanwhile, on a street in Tokyo.

This is an open-air cafe that can be found everywhere.

There were a few simple and refreshing tables and chairs, a few parasols, and some potted succulents.

It has a slightly bourgeois feel to it.

But it doesn't have a particularly unique style.

It's the kind of place where you can stop and take some photos, but it's not really worth coming here specifically for it.

There were a few customers in the shop, only a handful.

A boy was sitting at one of the tables.

It's just a guess that they're calling him a teenager.

Because he was wearing a hoodie and a mask, his face was not visible. We can only infer from his overall appearance that he is probably not very old, around 20 years old.

What's odd is that, even though he came to have coffee, he didn't take off his mask.

I let the coffee on the table slowly get cold.

The boy paid no attention, focusing intently on flipping through the comic book in his hands.

He has read this comic many times.

From initial shock to current indifference.

He had kept everything buried deep in his heart.

But keeping it hidden in one's heart is by no means a relief.

After flipping through the comic book in his hand, the boy closed it.

He has already read his own story.

He's just an ordinary college student you could see anywhere on the street; if a story were to feature him as the protagonist, it would definitely be a tragedy…

The boy stood up, didn't drink the coffee, paid, and left the coffee shop.

The cold wind ruffled the white hair that peeked out from under his hood.

He walked through the bustling streets of Tokyo, his gaze calm, indifferent, and devoid of any emotion.

"If this world is flawed, then the cause of this flaw lies in everything that exists in the world."

"Let's take revenge on the world!"

"Return the pain to the world."
